Wednesday and Bingo at the Senior Center and a Little Politics

I slept very well last night.  I got up about 5:20, made my bed and made up my face and then I put some biscuits in the oven. I had not eaten anything after lunch yesterday so I was really hungry.

I don't have anything going today except lunch and the Bingo games at the senior center.

We will have tuna cakes with boiled potatoes and a veggie for lunch. Bob will bring a salad. I still have cupcakes for dessert.

I wasn't surprised that Hillary lost the New Hampshire race last night. Iowa was so close it was decided by coin tosses.  I don't think she's finished yet though. A president Donald Trump would be a huge disaster for the country. One movie/TV star as president should be enough for the country. Reagan gave us the largest deficits in our history.

The Republican candidates are all determined to get us injected into another full fledged civil war.  One even suggests bombing the area until the sand glows! Good grief!  Someday someone besides President Obama will realize we cannot fight everyone's wars.  For 40 years we have interfered with one country's business or another and got ourselves involved in those unwinnable wars.  Korea, Vietnam and now Afghanistan and Iraq. Those are guerrilla type wars where our army has no idea who their enemy really is.  When we don't learn anything from past history, we are bound to repeat our mistakes.

Sanders seems a nice man but he would want to take us into socialism. It may work for Europe where the countries are the size of one of our states, but it would wreck our economy to try to implement it in a country this large. Congress would never back such a plan. Besides that, he would be the oldest elected president in our history. He's 74. A huge number of Americans have problems with having a Black president. If people are hesitant about voting for a woman for president, I can just imagine how those same people would feel about electing our first Jewish man for president.  There is so much hidden prejudice in America.

Hillary has the experience of being in congress, has been secretary of state and knows the inside of the political system one must have to work with a hostile congress. There's a lot of nonsense going around about her but between factcheck.com and politifact, most all of the nonsense is discounted.

So much for my opinion.....

We will see....

We had our lunch and I read off and on all afternoon. Later sometime after 5:00, Bob came back over and we watched the news. Then he went home and Missy and I watched Nature on PBS. That's her favorite program. She is always fascinated with the animals.

Then we watched Nova, a program about memories. ...many times false memories.  They demonstrated how easy it is to plant false memories in people and thereby discounted a number of witness testimonies that imprisoned a lot of men falsely.

It was very interesting. Sometime after 9:00, we went to bed.

Sister Fleta told me last year, the alternative to paying taxes was having no money. So, I guess I am glad I have to pay! hehe

Sun is out today and the wind is not blowing 25 miles an hour so I am going to get out here on the farm and walk. We have acreage and I can walk right here. Larry cuts me a match with his big tractor. I am often not thankful for all I have. Today, I am reminded that I do "have it all". My Lord is holding my hand. I hope I please him today.
