Well, if I lose readers today, so be it. Mama’s world is that of civility, care for one’s fellow anthro, and conscience. Above all, ethics and conscience. Where on earth did our country go wrong? Education? Parenting? An awareness of the Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Remember that? Instead, we appear to at least half of ourselves in America and certainly to most of the civilized world to be a country on the brink of too many things to count. We are susceptible as a country because we are led by a weak and dangerous leader, a megalomaniac child who has absolutely no idea of how to govern. In fact, does not even read the bulletins given him in the morning about what is happening in his government and the world around him. This article by David Brooks, one of the nations top journalists, says it all. Pass it on.
Mama says that I must not be concerned about losing readers. My blog is the only real way I can reach out and touch others who are not my immediate family, friends, or neighbors, and so I am publishing this in hope that someone, anyone, will see what is happening and that it is going to change, I pray, when ethical and intelligent anthros like former FBI director, Robert Mueller, is appointed as special prosecutor to examine just what went on between Trump, Comey, and the Russians. And still does, I’m sure.
I care about my country. I love my country. I care above all about education and ethics. I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the worth and extreme value of immigrants’ contribution to society (as are we are all immigrants, remember, even me, even TRUMP), and I believe that the world has become a very small community and the leader of one of the members of this community, the United States of America (note the word UNITED), had better well be well-informed informed, educated, ethical, compassionate, strong, open-minded, and a decent human being, none of which applies to our president. How on EARTH did we mess up so badly? Every country on this planet is now wondering just what on earth will happen if this madman is allowed to continue to attempt to govern.
Of course you don’t have to read this article. Many of you live in free countries and can read what you like. But the president advocates the removal of many of those freedoms simply because it does not suit him. In trouble: The National Endowment for the Arts, Planned Parenthood, access to medical help for all Americans, women’s rights, minorities’ rights, education, the poor, the homeless, the jobless, those on welfare, and so many more. There is more on the list. I will find the list. And you can bet your boots I will publish it.
Just watch me!

Great sorrow for the family of Lady Bug, who unexpectedly died this week. Visits would be nice.

WELLLLL, Loulou – I read (in the faux news, bien sur) that he (the agent orange) has never had a pet. That’s his problem. But I hear he does like cats (mama won’t let me use the other word) so since he says he likes to grab them. Mama hopes some long word that starts with the letter i will happen soon. I just want to bite his fat ankle. Or maybe one of his small fingers.
I know what you mean, Mya. And you might have noticed that I did not get comments on my blog yesterday…probably lost my following. Ah, well….
Planned Parenthood is so much more than that, it is health care for many that don’t have any other access.
Yes, so much more. And Medicaid is in danger, too, for those on welfare. Much to think about…
You know what we need? We need to spay or neuter all politicians, that might calm them down a bit, plus they couldn’t repopulate! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
BRIAN, what a great idea. So funny. You are welcome–I love your Blog Hops.
Thanks so much for the links to such a good article also the ones within the first article (Vox).

Noodle and crew
Glad you read them. Love your links, too, Noodle, and your lovely photos.
Oh LouLou – people will say this is supposed to be a Kitty Blog, but sometimes things get so worrying that our animal companions know we are concerned. As Oliver Hardy used to say “…this is another fine mess…” All we can do is pray (or whatever ritual we use to propitiate whatever gods we serve) that “the center will hold.”
Ben Franklin came out of the Constitutional Convention and was asked what kind of government we now had. He is said to have replied “A democracy, if you can keep it.”
Purrs.
