...California Liberals...

The beloved Mayor of L.A. left for a vacation right before the fire season, and REMAINED on vacation when the LARGEST FIRE IN L.A. HISTORY STARTED!!!  She just got back, and has had NOTHING to stay.  She just stared at the cameras when reporters questioned her, and her aides pulled her away.  Firefighters at Stations had to just STAY in the Station because they had no equipment!  The Mayor had had 'surplus' fire fighting equipment sent to UKRAINE, AND CUT the budget of the Fire Dept!!!  She had diverted the funds to help the ILLEGAL ALIENS being brought into her city.  And, apparently the equipment was NOT surplus if her own people needed it for situations like this.

Hopefully the citizens will vote the incompetent bitch out, along with the other Liberals they put in charge of their City, but I doubt that.  Just wait, the Liberals will blame Trump, somehow, and vote Liberals like her back into being in charge.  So in a few years, after things are rebuilt, it will happen again. 

But, maybe the Liberals will do something because Pacific Palisades burned down.  Pacific Palisades is a very lovely and EXPENSIVE area to live.  I stayed at the home of a rich client who lived there for a week when I handled a Trial in L.A. for him, and the homes were all huge Mansions nestled in rolling hills.  His Mansion was beautiful, and they placed me in a bedroom suite on the second floor so I could work late.  *Giggles*  I experienced, for the first and only time in my life, to have a maid.  She was a cute Hispanic girl who would look in on me and bring me tea and snacks as I worked.  She also helped me into the shower and helped me dress, that was uncomfortable at first, but I relaxed and she made my stay more comfortable.

I will send my prayers to the people affected...

...It pays to have an Uncle...

I was working at my first CPA job when Star Wars first arrived, and, I worked with a nephew of Lucas, who's name was Ted.  He knew that I was a rabid Sci Fi fan, and told me that his Uncle was producing a movie that was about space wars and would be called Star Wars.  I listened, and said that was cool, but the name seemed to be a little bland.  He showed up with a paperback novel, and gave it to me, saying that the Novel was based on the Screenplay and that Lucas was endorsing it.  The novel did have Lucas's picture, and some of the pictures of the actors and sets, so it was true.  I read the novel, it was an easy read, and told Ted that it was an interesting idea, but that the storyline was kind of simple, and had been done before.     He just nodded, and described to me what his uncle was going through as the movie was being made. 

Lucas was consumed by what he was doing, and the movie was constantly running through his mind and filling out as it was shot.  Lucas was assigned a driver, because he could not be trusted to drive...he would be thinking of what would be done that day, and didn't pay attention to traffic.

Well, actually, I was ASTOUNDED when I was at a premier showing, Ted had gotten me a ticket, I had had no idea that such filming could be done.  Plus, I actually SHIVERED when Darth Vader first appeared, thinking, "Now, THAT IS A VILLIAN!!!!:     I did tell Ted that the movie was MUCH better than the book, and went to see all of the sequels.  Now, I really did ENVY Ted over one thing!!!!

Lucas had an arrangement with the toy makers that he would get a number of FREE copies of ALL new Star Wars figures, space ships, and such toys and collectables for other people, and Ted was ON THE LIST!!!  So Ted was always receiving packages of the latest items being sold.  I was astounded, but Ted just shrugged and said he really didn't care for such toys.  I asked if I could have them, or get on the list, and he just smiled.   

If he kept them all, Ted probably has several trunks FULL of Star Wars stuff.

I still have the split wing fighter ship that Luke piloted, it is still in the box, I didn't let my children play with it.  I ought to take it to the next big Collectables Show, and see what I can get for it.

Nothing like having the support of the Police...

I just read that several DC Police Depts are REFUSING to help provide security for Trumps Inauguration.  What???  I mean...

..."WHAT THE F---??"

Last I read, one of the jobs of a Police Dept is to provide security for such people at such Events.  And, helping keep Trump safe during his Inauguration seems like a very important task, and an HONORABLE task.  Being asked to help secure the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES would be an HONOR, IMHO!!!!!

And especially NOW!  I mean, there have been TWO reported attempts to assassinate Trump, and one attempt involved Trump having part of his EAR SHOT OFF!!!  How much closer can you get to assassination?  If Trump hadn't turned his head at the right time, the side of his head would have been blown off, right on NATIONAL TV!!!! 

We live in very perilous times.  TDS has infected the left, and even "Celebrities" are AUPPLAUDED when they say that THEY have thought of using a shotgun on Trump!!!!

And what has Trump done???  We know what he will probably do, since he was President already, and things were fine.  He got us out of two foreign Wars, and didn't get us involved in others.  The Economy was good, my retirement savings increased due to better earnings, and unemployment was low.  The Border was fairly secure.  Liberals were NOT being rounded up and sent to re-education camps...I just laugh at all of the Liberal Celebrities who say that they expect that Trump will round them up and imprison them.  Hell, he didn't do that the last time.

Problem is, Trump is a BUSINESSMAN, and he looks for bottom line results.  He wants to see the Country prosper, and for all who work hard can achieve their dreams.  He doesn't think that "Diversity" by itself is strength.  He welcomes different points of view, that is how he succeeded so well.  The Mainstream Media shows pictures of Trumps Cabinet selections, and gasp..."It doesn't reflect the Ethnic and Educational makeup of the USA."  Shit oh dear, if I was the President I would want the most QUALIFIED people in the job, and wouldn't give a damn about their Ethnicity, what they ate, or what they chose to sleep with!

But, Liberalism is a Social Disease, once infected they lose ALL ability to think.  Again, I was having a debate with a liberal woman about how the Democrats were damaging all of our financial security, and she finally just YELLED AT ME..."I DON'T CARE IF THE COUNTRY GOES TO HELL, AS LONG AS THE DEMOCRATS ARE IN CONTROL!!!"

I am a Registered Republican, but have voted for Democrats in Local Elections because they had better candidates.  I even explored "That other Party" when I was unhappy with the Republicans...but left when I saw that the Leader was Stark Raving Lunatic Mad.

I just pray for ALL of us.  I hope that the Rational Dems can get control of their Party again.  I mean, for a while, they were saying that AOC was PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL!!!!  There is an element in the Dems who are actively working to get the Country to fail, that is clear.  And, please look at History.  That is how communists and other such Governments come into existence.  They cause a country to fail, and then step in saying that they will fix it, and then we can all see what happens.
