“I read the news today, oh boy About a lucky man who made the grade And though the news was rather sad Well, I just had to laugh I saw the photograph He blew his mind out in a car He didn't notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen his face before Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords”(A Day In the Life/John Lennon)
Laura Ingraham sits upon the throne inside an Ivory Tower created for and by angry people, for whom nothing is better in life than discovering and enemy, an agent of ill will, whose only purpose in life is to rob YOU, the victim, of your ability to hate, discriminate, and blame the OTHER. She delights in sharing fables and foibles describing truth and justice as schemes and sinister boxes of tricks, similar to the musical box when wound up long enough, a giant clown will appear and scare the daylights out of your innocent but devious intent. She is joined by Tucker Carlson who among his ability to reside in that Ivory Tower, is to predict the end of the world based on too much attention paid toward minorities, be they of color, sexual orientation, religion or original geographical birthplace. Both of these White Nationalist Knights are joined by Sean Hannity, an uneducated entertainer, a court jester if you will, pretending that he is some kind of alchemist, able to predict the future, by dismantling any details, any facts, and truth from the past. In their Kingdom. And in a figurative way, all three get away with murder, of democracy, and slowly but surely are rewarded for keeping just enough arsenic in their viewers coffee mugs, assuring a slow and agonizing death for Americans too afraid of their own shadows…because these PARTICULAR folks think the shadows are not their own but the images of the ENEMY!
“I read the news today, oh boy Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall…” (A Day In the Life/John Lennon)
A Cadre of Cadets working for the Republican Army, soldiers on the war against democracy, financially supported by billionaire Russian Oligarchs (imagine a supposed Communist Nation, you know the People’s Party Philosophy with so much wealth), joined to the hip with the Evangelical Crusaders of Christ,(whose own Quid Pro Quo, is to deny any civil rights to the LGBTQ/Women’s Rights/Immigrant Freedoms, via laws which defile the Constitution’s point of Separation between Church and State), and supported by the supposed Middle of America/The Heartland/ the Calloused Hands, and Family Values Laborers/Miners/Farmers…all support the lies, the crimes, the bias, bogus and bull shit, of Trump, because Trump has learned the value of FEAR, and his minions and the wealthy donors who give actually no shit about this nation, know that the Human weakness of FEAR is greater than the Human potential for LOVE.
“Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Made my way upstairs and had a smoke And everybody spoke and I went into a dream”(A Day In the Life/John Lennon) Another day, more bad news, more deflection, more denial, more dementia, more danger, and less and less Democracy. Why is this Just Another Day in the Life!
