Well, my spirits have lifted somewhat (temporarily) and I found a Christmas present in the news today with the indictment of Flynn. The White House says he was an Obama holdover (Obama fired him and Trump re-hired him). Incomplete pass on their part and they need to explain why they ignored the FBI warning telling them to get rid of him and ignored that dear career lady with the intelligence and ethics. I am patiently waiting for the dominoes to fall. Trump, Trump Jr., and Kushner and Ivanka have all had ties to corrupt money launderers and domestic and foreign criminal groups most of their lives, so they know how to accept bribes, hide money outside this country, and have gotten away with it, for now.
The National lighting of the Christmas Tree had the smallest crowd ever in front of the White House this year and the weather was beautiful, rows and rows of empty chairs. He keeps getting fewer and fewer supporters in his gatherings even on such simple unpolitical things as holiday activities. Obama had standing room only when he lit the tree each year. I do miss the intellectual transparent honesty of his administration.
So, today after the morning news, I binge watched that old TV series "Frazier" which has such snappy dialogue and proceeded to make about 100 persimmon spice cookies while I watched and reminisced. Half of these chewy spice disks are in the freezer and the other half we will eat. The recipe only used about 4-5 of the hard persimmons, so making no dent in the harvest!
Even the folks at the food pantry are too picky to want to take these home for the holidays!
The kitchen was full of dirty bowls and utensils and I just finished washing a batch and am now running "pro-scrub" on the dishwasher for the rest. The small artificial tree is up, a few wreaths scattered about. Mage made me
We blog readers lost the activist Hattie from Hawaii this past week. She was tough and took no prisoners and I will miss her intellectual arguments greatly.
While this is a tough month I will hang on white-knuckled and fight for everything I want and I hope you do the same.
