I'll have another piece of dark chocolate and a glass of red wine, thank you.

Some medical studies claim that resveratrol - the polyphenol found in red wine and dark chocolate - may help in elevating your mood (or lessen depression?).
Not sure about this data - but with what's going on in D.C. - it certainly can't hurt for me to indulge......

The Orange King continues to rant....On Sunday, July 28, 2019, the Baltimore Sun newspaper editorial staff had a few things to write about after the Orange King's comments on Cummings and his "rat infested Baltimore district".....:

"Finally, while we would not sink to name-calling in the Trumpian manner — or ruefully point out that he failed to spell the congressman’s name correctly (it’s Cummings, not Cumming) — we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one."

Thank goodness for print media - wherever it's still alive!!

Interesting coincidence: guess who was cited as a Baltimore slumlord a few years ago. None other than Saudi lover Jared Kushner! His father in law was cited for racism in renting only to white tenants in his Queens NY apartments but Prince Jared has his own style - he just collects money for rotten housing...

why voting for Democratic Senators more important than ever!!!!!

Eugene Robinson, a columnist for the Washington Post had an interesting column  in mid-June after the first Democratic debates and it's worth repeating:
" Dear Democratic presidential candidates: I know all 23 of you want to run against President Trump, but only one will get that opportunity. If you truly believe your own righteous rhetoric, some of you ought to be spending your time and energy in another vital pursuit — winning control of the Senate." .....He continued with a few specific suggestions like: "I’m talking to you, John Hickenlooper of Colorado, who would have a good chance of beating incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner. I’m talking to you, Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana, who could knock off GOP incumbent Sen. Steve Daines."
And I would add that Klobuchar and Bennett are important Democratic senators who would be sorely missed if they left the Senate.

"The only way to stop Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (from Kentucky) is to take his power away, and the only way to do that is for Democrats to win the Senate."

(And the despot Senate leader from Kentucky must leave together with his wife, the crooked wealthy Transportation secretary.)

Robinson concluded: ......"We don’t need 23 presidential candidates. Some of you, please, fight for the Senate."

On to other disgusting frightening matters: Das Trumpfer, otherwise known as the Orange King had an extra dose of lying tweeting and rallying this past week.
One would've thought that his racist comments and requests that people he's afraid of  should go back where they came from might get a rise out of his "Republican" courtiers - but the Orange Kingdom has squeezed too much juice on them and they remain helpless - except for a very few whose brains haven't turned to mush.
"And the Orange King is not racist?" When he and his father wouldn't rent to black tenants looking for rentals in his Queens, NY apartment houses? When the N.J. Casinos he managed to bankrupt were told that when he and daughter arrived all black employees were to leave the floor and not be seen? When he said Jews were only good for cooking - oops excuse me  - doing his accounts and books? Or should we give him an excuse and say he learned from his father who, as a member of the Klu Klux Klan in NYC was arrested after an altercation in the streets - against NYC Police because they were predominantly Catholic?

On the one hand - it's nice to be 90 with your faculties intact - on the other hand you can remember the 1930's and the acquiescence of the crowds as they chanted with their Austrian and Italian dictators to "purify" their populations.....
Never again? Not with Stephen Miller Goebbels and the Foxy network guiding the Orange King and his frightened courtiers.
