At the time of this writing, a week ago, the main topic of conversation at a local caffee klatch was the ludicrous New Green Deal authored by Ocasio-Cortez. One attendee wondered what O-C was smoking, drinking or ingesting. Another said that currently O-C is like a loose cannon rumbling around the halls of Congress.
Here are some of the high points of her proposal; eliminate all air planes in the country, eliminate all fossil fuels, retrofit all buildings in the country, eliminate all gas driven automobile, universal health care , free schools, pay people who are unwilling to work and eliminate cow flatulence. On the last matter one wag suggested that O-C line up a group of her supporters, open a duct tape factory and proceed to cover all the bovine rectal apertures in the country.
When she announced her G.N.D. she was backed by a dozen or so seemingly mature Democrat lawmakers. The chief among them being a slightly senile gentleman from Massachusetts.
Getting back to the guys at the coffee gathering one noted that speaker Pelosi had referred to the proposal as a “Green Dream”. He said it was more like a green nightmare.
One fellow summed it up best when he said it should be called a Gangrene deal since that condition can result in killing the entire body-which in this case would be the Nation itself.
One of O-C’s solutions to the elimination of air traffic would be the creation of light rail high speed trains. Unfortunately for her one of her cohorts, Governor Newsom of California, last week cancelled the proposed high speed train between San Francisco and L.A. because it was too expensive and far into the future.
Somewhere, perhaps lurking in the shadows, is a man with a butterfly net waiting for O-C to come his way***
Also, at this writing the country was waiting to see if President Trump would sign the bipartisan bill coming out of the special committee. Since it did not come near to what the President had asked for in funding for a border wall the specter of another government shutdown or emergency declaration still loomed.
On this situation one of the java sippers said that Trump should probably call Pelosi’s bluff about the wall being immoral and begin to tear down the existing wall between San Diego and Tijuana, recycle the material to Texas and let the caravans enter California unimpeded. Also each illegal immigrant should be given a road map to Pelosi’s and Newsom’s private residences so they could set up their tent cities on friendly lawns. ***
VIRGIINIA VORTEX. The big story outside Washington continues to be the problems that 3 high ranking Government officials are currently experiencing. First the Governor, who in his T.V. appearances makes Mr. Rogers of T.V. fame look like a ball of fire, continued to say he was sorry for appearing in blackface, than he says it was not him in blackface although the photo was posted with his knowledge on his personal yearbook page. Most of those drinking coffee agree that his previous statements about the procedure to be used in baby-killing was far more egregious than appearing as a minstrel show individual. Second is the embattled Lt. Gov. who is facing a couple of sexual misconduct charges. Since he is a Democrat none of the famous left wing members at the Kavanaugh hearings have come out to say they believe the women. Also none of the Me Too hierarchy have uttered a word in the females’ defense ***
CROWDED FIELD. So far all of the announced Democrats for President have managed to trash some portion of the U.S. economy and structure. First there was Senator Harris from California who would eliminate all private insurance companies in favor of Medicare for all. Previous workers in that industry would be left to look for other high paying jobs in the fast food industry. The female Senator for New York wants to eliminate ICE and have opened borders so that illegals could flood the country without fear of apprehension. Then there was Pocahontas who wished to revamp the tax code and stifle most industries. Then comes along Senator Klobuchar who has been described as sort of a martinet in the operation of her current staff.
Each of these ladies had impressive crowds at their rollout which would indicate that the female vote that they are after is well divided.
