The Joy of Spring
Lots of the 200 onion sets I planted on the deck are almost ready to be pulled and eaten.
Mr. Bumble is accompanying me on the deck. He thinks he is scaring me with his big phony eyes... but I know that he can't sting, so he doesn't scare me in the least. It's funny though... sometimes he will fly around to the side windows and bang against the glass. And every couple of days, he will show up in front of the car when I am getting ready to drive off. He's a consistent cuss!
He's a carpenter bee and I could plug up his round hole in the wood under the deck, but that would not be nice.
Every day now, a crazy bird bangs itself against the colored glass panels leading to the deck. He must see his reflection in color and thinks its a mate to be. Somewhat sad.
Chickadees have claimed one of the birdhouses on our side porch, but we are not seeing babies yet.
When I see the beauty all around me during this glorious Spring, I forget all the crap that is going on in the world..... but after a while, it all comes rushing back to me... like this:
Politics:
News Report: Egyptian Leader meets with the President
President Trump met this week with "hard-line Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el Sissi. Trump: "Abdel, you're doing a fantastic job fighting the Moslem Brotherhood." Abdel: "Donald, I have a deep admiration of your unique personality."
Prepop sez: "Birds of a feather flock together."

News Report: Extreme vetting of tourists from the U.K. and France is being considered
President Trump promised to implement "extreme vetting" in order to prevent terrorists from entering the United States. The "visa waiver" program would be a good place to start. The U.K. and France are among 38 countries that participate in that program.
Prepop sez: Donald, you've got your head up your ass! Such activity would kill our tourism industry.
........................................................................................
News Report: Louisville protesters can move ahead with their lawsuit accusing Trump of inciting violence at a campaign rally.
The President would like to have the lawsuit dismissed on free speech grounds.
Prepop sez: I seem to recall that Trump pointed to the protesters and said, "Get them out of here!" or words to that effect. His supporters then figured it was okay to attack. Sounds like Nazi Germany to me.

News Report: Vice President Pence is faithful to his wife
Mike Pence refuses to eat alone with a woman not his wife. He also will not work alone with a female. He also will not attend mixed group parties with anyone other than his wife.
Prepop sez: I applaud Mr. Pence for being faithful to his wife, as I was all of my married life. However, what is this fear that he has of women? It seems as though he is afraid that he will succumb to temptation if it is placed in his way. What a boon this might be for the Russians.
Just picture this: The Vice President finishes a meeting in Paris and enters his hotel room, where, laying on his bed, is a naked prostitute, who rushes to embrace him. Hidden Russian cameras record the scene and suddenly Mike is open to blackmail. (Sound familiar?)
Also... through my many years, I have encountered many hypocritical bastards who pretend to be virtuous Christians. ("Hello, Honey, I won't be home until late tonight. The President has given me a special assignment that has to be done as soon as possible. I can't tell you about it... it's top secret.")
This is just conjecture on my part, I'm sure Mr. Pence is as truly religious and virtuous as he says he is. But, you know, DC is chock full of lovely ladies who are intrigued by men of power. I hope Mike doesn't get trapped into a situation where he is alone with a tempting female and gives in to his basal urges.

News Report: Jared Kushner given lots of important White House jobs
President Trump wants Jared to make the White House into a wonderful business, pleasing to its customers. Meanwhile, he is being sent to Iraq to settle the fighting over there and while he is at it, he is tasked with bringing peace to the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Prepop sez: NEPOTISM! But Jared obviously does not have the experience to be a Secretary of State... and the public does not consist of "customers." Mr. Trump and his 'royal family" need to realize that they work for us.

News Report: The public wants Melania Trump to move into the White House
A quarter of a million citizens have signed a petition demanding that Mrs. Trump leave New York City and move into the White House in DC.
Prepop sez: I doubt that this will occur. But we should some how see that it happens. Right now, it costs $150,000 each day to protect her and Baron in the Big Apple. But, of course, who would want to leave a beautiful penthouse mansion that has gold toilet seats for a house that's seedy looking and hundreds of years old?
..............................................................................................................
News Report: Steve Bannon was bounced by Trump from the National Security Counsel
Supposedly, he and Jared don't get along and this triggered the "firing."
Prepop sez: Well, maybe he is gone from the National Security Counsel, but I've seen pictures of him this week poking his nose into military action meetings. I would feel much batter if he were dumped completely from the White House. Come on, President Jared, get rid of that clown!"
