Opinion: Moons over America

[ad_1]

OCTOBER! The month of moons: Big Moon of October, Hunter’s Moon, Harvest Moon, Comanche Moon, Blue Moon. It is also the month of lovers and lunatics, although there may not be much difference between the two. The strangeness of lovers needs no explanation. The Roman name for the moon, Luna, is also the source of “lunatic,” a person who does crazy things that are often dangerous.” (Oxford Collocations Dictionary). Placed side-by-side, which one, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, most closely fits that definition?

Hillary Clinton, who always manages to insert herself into national elections, says that Donald Trump is the most dangerous man in the world. It is obvious she speaks from her own intense hatred of Donald Trump, because he kept her from being “the first woman president.” And now that an empty vessel may soon be “the first woman president,” ruffles Hillary’s feathers even more, and, of course, she blames Donald Trump. Never mind, Hillary, she ruffles my feathers as well. The Democrats, with their devious ways, are trying to put in the White House an even more ridiculous person than we have now. One wonders who the real lunatics are.

Dangerous Trump? During his previous role as President, Trump had the economy humming. Black and Brown neighbors had the best access to jobs than ever before. The Southern border was secure. There were no wars. And then COVID-19 inserted itself into the nation’s politics. The fall-out was galloping inflation and Joe Biden and his vice president opening the Southern floodgates to an invasion of undesirable people from all over the world, an ongoing invasion that has increased horrific murders and raping of American womanhood and American childhood, rampant thievery, destruction of property, and disrespect of law. Whose legacy is this?

Until I was 10 years old, the only restroom I had was a little wooden building in the backyard with a crescent moon cut in the door. Why the crescent moon? One reason is that it provides humor to comic strips. But the real reason, which I just uncovered on the internet, was to distinguish between male and female outhouses. How humiliating it would be to my mother and sisters to know that the outhouse they used, along with the male members of the family, was intended only for the females in the family. The men were to use only the outhouses with a sun cut in the door. This is one time I never saw the sun; therefore, the crescent moon was the original symbol for a unisex facility. As a matter of interest, the outhouses of my experience had either two-holes or four-holes. I can’t even envision how a communal four holes would be utilized. Some events demand privacy

Our government is in the toilet, a toilet created by the Democrats. (Refer to the comments above.) Much like the frog in the pot of boiling water (a worn-out reference, but I’ll use it anyway), we, as a country, have watched the communists worm their way into the highest offices in the land. And Americans continue voting the communists into office, because the communists have brainwashed the voters. Look at the promises Kamala Harris is flinging out over the airwaves. Thinking people do not believe her, because she is a proven liar. She has been a communist her entire life. All one need do is follow her record. What did she do to San Francisco? She threw it in the toilet — literally, with homeless people using the streets to relieve themselves. If you haven’t been there, can you imagine what San Francisco smells like?

Kamala boasts of her record as California Attorney General. In socialist California? Homeless people everywhere! Illegal immigrants everywhere! A California that governor Gavin Newsome has bankrupted because of promised money for illegal immigrants and money for social programs with no way to finance them. Kamala incarcerated drug sellers and users as AG, the same folks she now raises money for to bail out of prison, shifting with the breeze from all of her actions she now denies. Such is the MO of Communists: Lie, cheat, and use other devious methods to achieve their goals. If you believe Kamala will follow her promises to be a Republican if she is elected president, you are delusional.

California survives because of the other forty-nine states using their tax dollars to rescue the state from state-destroying, financial irresponsibility. Despite the beautiful, stately Redwoods, the giant Sequoias, beautiful beaches, California is the toilet of the country. It is, unfortunately, an outhouse with fifty holes, forty-nine shared unwillingly with the other states, a moonstruck lunatic of a state, one which Kamala Harris boasts of serving. Kamala, your promises, like your record, “stink to high heaven.”
