It’s Official: America is Suffering from the “Florida Virus”
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Every morning I read the news on my laptop. It is an
overused complaint that it is always bad, never good. However, in 21st
century America, It is mostly about situations which are just plain moronic.
Everything I read could be easily repaired, shouldn’t have happened in the
first place, or about issues which are not in reality, news.
There was a time when this type of reporting originated
primarily from the weird sate of Florida. However, it is clear that the “virus”
has spread to all 50 states.
TODAY’S STORIES WHICH ARE NOT “NEWS”
One of Trump’s most recent disasters is his redesign of the
National Mall’s reflecting pool. When it was completed the first time, algae
made the water turn “puke green.” Then patches of blue paint began to float to
the surface. It was clear that the company paid to remake the pool had no idea
what they were doing.
Breaking another rule, this from the Department of Parks and
Recreation, Trump refused to get three bids for the project. Instead, he gave a
no-bid contract to one of his Mar-a-Lago neighbors. The original estimate for
the remake was 12 million dollars, As of this day, more than 20 million tax
dollars have been spent, and it must be torn apart and fully reconstructed.
There is no cure for stupid.
Trump’s war against Iran is escalating, and Americans are
dying. The reasons for his attacks on a sovereign nation were lies. His entire
second term is based on lies, most significantly his biggest lie about the 2020
election. I believe he woke up one morning and thought about two things: he was
bored, and if he invaded another country like his handler did in Ukraine, the
American people might forget about the fact that he and his best friend,
Jeffrey Epstein, were pedophiles.
In a second act of pure ignorance and waste of taxpayer
dollars, his right-wing dominated House of Representatives voted to give him
$95 billion to continue his and the Pentagon’s failure.
It is an undeniable fact that it is unsafe to leave our
homes in the 21st century. There are more mass shootings each year
than days on the calendar. They happen in our churches, schools, shopping
malls, fitness studios, bars, restaurants, movie theaters, everywhere normal
people go every day.
The truth: the Second Amendment is the most poorly written
and ambiguous law in American history. Our government, including the Supreme
Court, continue to favor the “rights” of gun owners while ignoring the rights
of 340 million American people. Our government’s major responsibility is to
keep our people safe. However, campaign donations from the NRA are of greater
value than human lives. I am one of millions of Americans who believe that the
Second Amendment should be repealed.
THIS FINAL STORY PROVES THAT TRUMP IS THE DUMBEST, AND MOST
POORLY EDUCATED MAN ON THE PLANET
Trump attended the World Cup final on Sunday. He met with
Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, who was also in attendance. Trump berated
his counterpart for “allowing heavy smoke from wildfires across Canada to drift
into America.”
Trump fails to understand the fact that humans cannot
control the weather, including wind force and direction.
Maybe he should pray to his own god, Lucifer, to alter the
wind direction and keep it inside Canada’s borders.
These are all examples of what “news” is like today. What a
waste of time.
