And we are now halfway to Christmas and the gifts just keep on coming

20/20 is a news show on ABC and they generally cover strange stories about strange people doing strange things....usually along the line of mayhem and violence.

The word strange probably doesn't properly describe the people they cover.

Murdering your wife or husband is just evil.  When you murder someone and then use their body parts as paper-weights and then pass them out as Christmas presents.....now that action literally becomes strange.

To be honest I actually don't watch shows about strange people and I don't actually watch 2020 so in truth this posting by all reasonable accounts of the imagination is.....
strange.

The other day a pregnant squirrel tried to get in our front door because I had fed her some nuts a week are so earlier.  Yesterday I saw her trying to get across the street to reach the pine tree she lives in and since I didn't see a deceased squirrel on the road this morning I assume she made it.....but one has to consider that our crow population does an admirable job of being raptors, especially when it comes to squirrels in Santa Monica.  We have thousands of otospermophilus beecheyi running around our town and one very rarely sees a dead one.  I must attribute that fact to the raptors. The common name for our abundant species appears to be the California Ground Squirrel.  Their main enemies are rattlesnakes, eagles, raccoons, foxes, badgers and weasels. Since we only have a rather small population of raccoons in the neighborhood I have to assume the vast population is due to lack of predators.

Cars and trucks would also be a natural predator but very rarely does one see one of those large metal objects intentionally  tracking down a squirrel. What would fall into a strange category  would be to witness a driver-less Tesla attempting to run down a pregnant squirrel.

I keep thinking that those people who pay attention to our President and respect his take on all matters must be wondering why this HOAX virus dealio is still in the news.

Democrats and anyone leaning to the left of center are really overdoing this event.  Democrats and liberal people are strange people.  Simply ask any conservative voter that you know.....especially the ones who continue to support the 45th President of the United States.

Keep one thing in mind....the guy in the White House WILL receive at least 55 million votes in November.

55 MILLION......AT LEAST!

I ask this simple question......what's stranger......the squirrel story or that last line?

Now depending on much voter suppression the GOP can implement, how much nasty verbiage and name calling can Trump direct toward Joe, how much crime can be committed between now and Nov 3, how many violent incidents fake protesters can generate, how much influence can the FOX Opinion News show have over their loyal audience..........that 55 could get as high as 60.

He got 62 Million in 2016

With the mood of this country and everything that has gone on with his administration  I would hope the number could drop to 30 million.

30 million would be highly encouraging for the soul of the land and the future of America.

I'm now in the strange category that I created earlier.  You are reading something written by a human being that was positive McGovern was going to kick Nixon's ass in 1972.

See that tiny blue in DC and the bigger blue mark in Massachusetts....those were
McGovern's wins.

For four months prior to that election those of us who paid attention to the news kept telling others that there was a scandal.

Apparently the American public ( very large percentage) does not pay attention to anything they don't want to pay attention to.

THAT'S THE SECRET HERE.  PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR WHAT THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR AND NO AMOUNT OF CHATTER WILL CHANGE THAT FACT.

AFTER THE FACT IS ANOTHER STORY.

NIXON RAN ON THE SIMPLE PLEA OF 
THIS COUNTRY MUST HAVE
LAW
AND
ORDER

THE PROTEST AT THE TIME WERE MAINLY FOCUSED ON ENDING THE VIET-NAM WAR BUT THE ANGER WAS CONSTRUCTED FROM HEART BREAKING ASSASSINATIONS OF THREE GREAT LIBERAL THINKERS OVER THE PREVIOUS 9 YEARS.

The protests that are taking place today in America are focused on a long overdue problem.  Racial injustice toward the African American is 400 years in the making and elevating awareness to that problem has reached levels not seen since the 1960s.

BUT as the protests occur it seems that the issue is creating a platform for Trump to demand
LAW
and
ORDER

I find it appalling that this election could be an event which increases the use of a term like "White Power" that someone yelled as Trump drove by in his golf cart at a retirement community in Florida.

He actually Tweeted the comment and then shared it and then took it down from his account.

I'm pretty sure that falls in a much stranger category than anything I could ever write about a pregnant squirrel.

By the way I haven't seen her or her new family since last week and I'm fully admitting that I would like the same thing when it comes to our current
President of the United States

I would just like to stop seeing him in the news.  

But even if he loses the election he will then turn all of his attention to his newly developed media empire and 
TRUMP NEWS
will get a bigger audience than Fox News
and
then
he
will buy Fox News
and
I think my brain is 
about 
to 
explode.

I think it's time to go looking for a new squirrel family....

2020 is truly not about great vision.

If the result of the upcoming election has any similarities to 1972
I
might
take the Forest Gump route
and start running
down the
highway
waving 
at
every
squirrel

see.

By the way....the  Christmas of 2020 will be really really really strange.

Custom made MASKS
will
be 
the main gift

....and instead of lucky rabbit's feet there will be
lucky squirrel tails dyed different colors.

Strange times 
wouldn't you agree?
