Greek Drama


Increasingly, Hellary Clinton's fall from grace is appearing to be a modern Greek tragedy. She and her band of desperadoes are grasping for straws in their frantic attempt to save themselves from drowning under the Trump wave election. Their three state vote recounts have failed in humiliating fashion, the news of the Russians overtly helping Trump to get elected increasingly rings "fake," and now there is their fatuous appeal to Trump electors to abandon honor and vote for Hellary.

What makes this passion play even more full of pathos is that her band of outlaws also included many media luminaries. Or, should I say, many former media luminaries? Those that too enthusiastically sought the embrace of this spider woman may never recover from these humiliating sell-outs of their journalistic ethics. It's as though one is hearing the Greek chorus moaning and groaning over the ending of progressive euphoria.

But, like most Greek dramas, there is a counterpoint. And that is that many patriotic Americans are smiling more and sleeping better ...

Devine Intervention


It  is becoming increasingly obvious that Hellary Clinton has some illness(es) that is (are) not going away. Whether this possible malady mix is so serious as to deny her from holding office is unclear because the Clinton machine is moving heaven and Earth to hide her problem(s) from the American voters. This situation is similar to FDR's attempt at a fourth presidential term in 1944 when it was leaking out that he was gravely ill ... but our war situation precluded full disclosure of this fact to voters and to our enemies ... much to Harry Truman's benefit. However, in Hellary's case, we are not embroiled in a world war and continuing down President Obummer's primrose path seems not so compelling ... at least not to this voter.

Now, I am not a God-fearing man ... nor do I believe, like Elon Musk, that we are all just virtual players in some giant futuristic computer simulation game  ... but I obviously do fear a Clinton election ... and, if her health issue(s) move front and center and obviate the presidency, then I will feel both a pang for her Greek-tragedy fate ... but still silently offer hosannas to this  equivalent of Devine intervention.
