JULY 2020 Passing

This is the first time that I have been able to sit out on my back screened-in porch for several weeks as the temps and humidity and sunshine have prevented me from doing so; but today, it is relatively mild in terms of temps, there is a slight breeze, clouds in the sky from previous or anticipated rain, and the sun, like friends, seldom appears.  Actually, that is not fair because I have made a point over my lifetime to limit my friends and it appears that those few are now gone....   My fault...   My bad...  (hate that expression).

So, what about JULY 2020 that makes it so memorable?

Nothing other than the fact that I spent 6 days in HOSPITAL LOCKUP because of what doctors are now suspecting was a frigging bug bite that was scratched by me and got infected and because of my low immunity traveled throughout my body and raised a little HELL inside.

When my wife finally took me to the ER because of a day long 103 degree temperature, I was wobbly on my feet and needed a wheel chair, but got into the ER just in time because my blood pressure was 79/59, I was experience afib, heart/kidney failure, and was in sepsis and later was told that had we delayed our arrival by too much longer, I may have DIED...  however, my body responded well and after those 6 days, I was released...  but, with the understanding that my wife administer IV antibiotics (via a PICC line) 3 times a day until August 11, 2020.

The constant infusion of antibiotics cause me to experience fatigue, nausea, general apathy, loss of appetite, constantly feeling BLAH all day long unless I am sleeping which I do a lot nowadays.

However, I have managed to daily maintain my 4 blogs and watch FOX NEWS that leaves me with an elderly concern that we have some serious issues going on in our country and because of these serious issues, it is my belief, that our country has become NO BETTER than any other country in the world when it comes to its leaders and to its citizens.

AMERICANS were once a proud, highly respected, and admired people by everyone in the world because of our abilities, actions, behavior,  and how above all else, we were UNITED.  Unfortunately, this is no longer the case.

AMERICA IS SERIOUSLY DIVIDED along the lines of:

• Politics
• Race
• Gender
• Law Enforcement
• Judicial
• Wealth

We no longer treat each other with respect therefore we get no respect in return.  We can no longer believe in and/or trust our elected officials, nor the police or other law enforcement agencies.  Mainstream Media has decided to take the side of the LIBERALS therefore we can no longer expect FAIR & BALANCED reporting but only that which supports the Liberal Agenda....  and, when the MEDIA starts censoring the NEWS then DEMOCRACY begins to fail.

WITHOUT A TWO PARTY SYSTEM, only one side will control and the the TRUTH will be that which that one side says it is....

This, in my opinion, is a dangerous place to be.

Another issue that is of concern to me is the fact that ALL MEDIA OUTLETS are editorializing the news rather than just reporting it.

MY RESPECT for members of Congress has substantially been diminished because of the biased attacks of Liberal Democrats and the angry Republicans who are now starting to fight back.

WHERE IS THIS LEADING US?

What will CONGRESS accomplish FOR US when they act like that?      NOTHING!!!
