The Emperor has no clothes !

I am so happy to be wrong.  Doug Jones has defeated Roy Moore.  However, he is still not conceding and is waiting for the recount.  Not surprising at all to have this last gesture to confirm he has no class whatsoever.  I think, though, it was going to be close, until Roy Moore's wife sealed the deal with her "I know one black person and I have one Jew on the payroll" speech. 

The best thing, however, about the result, is imagining Trump sitting at home alone watching tv with one hand eating his third Big Mac and one hand on his phone tweeting.  Don't be mistaken.  This is a huge loss for Donald Trump.  Despite my advise that he should sit this one out, Trump put himself on the line by rallying for him and providing his endorsement by robocall.  

At first Donald Trump issued a rather gracious tweet congratulating Jones.  Then, he started to take the low road and as the night went on, he did his best to distance himself from Moore.  He really is a meglomaniac.  He actually thinks so little of the people he is supposed to serve.  He thinks their memory is actually less than 24 hours.  

His former campaign manager wrote a scathing "tell all" book about Trump.  He painted him as a tyrant.  I guess he expected this to be an earth-shattering revelation.  He said, basically, if you work for Trump, at some point, you will have to face his wrath and his disrespect.  Again, this did not surprise anyone, however, the sad thing about this book, written by Cory Lewandoski, was that he still supports Trump.  Yes, he gave us some minor dirt, but overall, it was an endorsement of Trump.  He still is "ga ga" over his former boss.  The one insight that this book provided was Trump actually believes in his gut instinct.  He believes that he has more life experience than anyone, therefore, his gut will be right.   

I guess up until now he has (unbelievably) been right.  He has been allowed a free pass on this gut instinct.  Trump is back-peddling a little bit, saying he always knew Roy Moore would not win, however, this time we all remember that his gut was wrong.  The people gave him that message loud and clear.  

The Emperor has no clothes.  The Emperor has no clothes.  The Emperor has no clothes.  Donald Trump is, among other things, an idiot.  He may still think he has clothes, but, don't worry, even if he hasn't got the message, he will.  The mid-term elections aren't that far off.  

This is a wonderful endorsement against the politics of hate.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but th...

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

Image
I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just w...

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second pic...
