Getting Gouged

It should be no surprise that the Insurrectionist Emeritus will wheedle his way onto the ballot for 2024.  Having planted more judges than any other president in history, he is calling for his due.  Will SCOTUS oblige and allow him to stay?  Until Trump is convicted for the insurrection on January 6th, there is hedge room.  The plan?  Delay.  Delay.  Delay.  His news coverage ebbs and flows.  He wins Iowa, and he is shining like the noon day sun.  It is a quintessential struggle between Left and Right.  It could not be possible to be more politically polarized in America.  They make everything political, because of Donald Trump.  "AI is producing all of the 'fake' media."  Since his Republic opponents are not appealing, it should not be surprising that the cult leader will work his way back in.  The question will be, "Is America gullible enough to put him back in office?"  To those who will vote for Donald Trump, it is not about logic, rational thought, or leadership ability.  It is a grudge match, and they hate the idea of Joe Biden and the Democrats.  So why are there so few candidates?  Where are the democratic contenders?  Evidently no one has the balls of Barack Obama to see a winnable opportunity.  Joe is getting old.  Trump is too old.  Where is the new blood?  The Presidential race reinforces my insistent depression from loss.  My mother is 92, and most of her friends have died.  My family is dwindling.  Familiar faces to me are fewer and fewer.  I have to reinforce my own sanity with visual stimuli, and that is iPhoto.  Why and how is it that there is not a younger generation poised to take the reins of America?  (the white noise outside is deafening)  Is it because of Robin Sage?  Is it freight trains hauling coal to the power plants?  CSX is making their money, and so is Duke energy.  Winter comes, and instead of discounting high demand periods of the day for energy, they raise the rates.  There is a forty percent premium increase on the books for Homeowner's insurance.  The commissioner is hedging saying it is the industry.  Forty percent?!  Not five percent.  Not fifteen.  Let's just gouge the American people, because we can.
