I don't know that I agree with Michael Moore, but I surely don't want Trump to win. I'm for anyone who can beat him.
Seeing this sudden onslaught of attacks against Jewish people, and I cringe. It's not new. Certainly we've had this before, but it seems like it's becoming more and more prevalent. Attacks of hate against many groups are becoming more and more prevalent. I don't think we can blame tRump for it all. We had this before he ever came along, but I think that he definitely shares a big portion of blame for the uptick. The hate he has inspired since coming onto the political scene is phenomenal. He's unleashed the flood gates. I agree with Governor Cuomo this morning that these are not just hate crimes, but they are and should be treated as acts of domestic terrorism.

POLITICS 12/28/2019 08:50 pm ET Ivanka Trump Won’t Commit To Staying In White House If Dad Wins Again “The day I walk into the West Wing and I don’t feel a shiver up my spine is the day I’ve been here too long,” first daughter says on “Face the Nation.”
Ya, I totally get that. I get more than a "shiver up my spine" when any Trump walks into the West Wing!!!!!.........JA & his supporters go after Hunter Biden for using his last name for profit, etc. Golly, gee, would Ivanka get as many endorsements or trademarks if she went by her married name...Ivanka Kushner ....HA! Somehow, I doubt it. The hypocrisy of it all.
I'm reading a novel that takes place in WW11 & Nazi Germany. They way they started going after the Jews, etc & seeing what is starting to happen in this country with the Jewish community being attached, is eerily similar. I agree, that JA isn't totally responsible for the hate mongering in this country. It's been simmering for awhile, but he has given permission to let it boil over with his own actions & words! Any decent human being would condemn this behavior every second of every day, but JA lets it fester until its unleashed & then tweets an insincere condemnation of it or sometimes no tweet at all.

I'm glad that armed parishioner was able to save lives, but what does that say about our society when people feel it is necessary in any religion to have armed security while they worship? What does it say when we have reached a point that we hardly even blink an eye anymore when we hear about it? We are allowing this to become normal, and we simply can not continue with that. This can't be our new normal. I just refuse to accept this as normal. Just to clarify for some who might read this, I am saying we can't let gun violence and mass shootings become our norm. I am NOT making a statement about the practices of any church or religion, or even about the choice to carry a gun. I know those who post on this thread would understand my point, but in re-reading it I wasn't sure that some who read but don't post would.

I am so ashamed about my eating and lack of movement. I am getting a delivery of healthy food tonight to start over tomorrow for the New Year. I get a treadmill delivered tomorrow. Friday it gets assembled. To use it I am getting my knee drained of liquid and a d cortisone shot. I wish for 2020 the country oes not elect Trumpl Today Biden had a rally and faced Trump hecklers/. He lat them talk and then called them idiots.

Amy, good for you on making a change to turn to a healthy lifestyle. Not easy, but you sound determined, & I wish you much success. Its hard to exercise when the old joints fill with fluid & ache all the time. Sounds like you have a plan tho. so give yourself a pat on the back & go for it.
Joyce, I was thinking the same thing about armed guards at churches now. My goodness, you would think that would be the one safe place in this country.
Another "shameful tweet" by a Ja official!...Guess, he's drank way too much of JA's koolaid too.......POLITICS 12/30/2019 03:01 pm ET DHS Official Suggested Anti-Semitic Stabbing Attack Was Linked To Suspect Having An Immigrant Father In a now-deleted tweet, acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli claimed the suspected attacker lacked “American values” because his father was an undocumented immigrant more than 30 years ago...... I'm thinking that would have been a Republican policy under Reagan? Jeez, this administration just can't let go of blaming immigrants for every domestic terrorism act in this country.
I did see clips of Bidens town hall where the protesters interrupted him. He handled it well, but I wish he would have said the protester was "acting" like an idiot instead of calling him one. You know how JA & his supporters will turn that around saying Biden calls JA supporters idiots. Like the "deplorable" word. Probably won't make much difference one way or another in the end anyway.

I wish he had said acting like idiots too, but let's face it. He called it like it is. They were idiots.
Amy good for you in working on a healthier 2020. Now that I am no longer under so much stress I have been working on that as well. I've gotten my blood sugar back down in good control, and lost about 10 lbs so far, but next week we're going to be in California visiting DH's sister who is an amazing Eastern European cook, so I will need to start all over again when we get home. It will be worth it though.

JA & Putin chat on the phone, bombing in Iraq, & now Iraq embassy is getting stormed......kind of makes me wonder if JA & Putin are trying to distract from the Impeachment in the Senate coming in January!! What goes around, comes around. This could quickly turn into another Bengazi. They said the Ambassador was out of the country on a vacation. Hmmmm, wonder if that was planned or not to have him out knowing what could happen. See, JA has turned me into a suspicious of everything that happens these days.

See, JA has turned me into a suspicious of everything that happens these days. He seems to have done that to us all, Linda. It's terrible. I have absolutely no faith left in government anymore. I hope it's not going to be that way forever. I want to be able to believe in my government once again. Now I would not put anything past him or any of his crony enablers. I fully believe he is capable of any atrocity, and they would be right there along with him.

Joyce, forgot to say, CONGRATS on your 10 down & getting blood sugar under control. Not an easy thing to do during a Holiday Season. Good for you! I just continue to struggle with this everyday. The only thing that seems to work for me, lately IF, I can stick with it for longer than a month is the 16-8 way of eating. I do feel better & the weight slowly comes off. Its easy, no counting, etc. I just need to get into a positive mindset that I can do this, especially since I've had success with it before. Winter does a number on me with Winter Blues & all I want to do is load up with Carbs. Anyway, will keep trying.

Best wishes to all who are striving to be healthy. It does get so much trickier as we age. DH happened to have AXIOS on (they play tons of Boomer era music) and we caught Todd Rundgren doing a 2018 concert. He closed with Just One Victory. I found it uplifting, but sad that it is more relevant today than ever.
