After having read the vast majority , but not all, of Stephen King’s books, I am now forced to wonder if his most recent one, “You Like It Darker,” is mere feint. Certainly it is not one which I can advise anyone to buy. It is not up to what I have come to expect from this author. It is a compilation of short stories, and I am having trouble wading through it! So last night instead of starting another mediocre short story, I switched to You Tube to watch parts of the Trump rally in Asheboro, North Carolina. Without question I made the right choice!
As opposed to the ramblings at the DNC, Trump’s speech was full of policy. (No! I have not watched any of the DNC where Trump’s name has apparently been mentioned about ten times more frequently than any statements concerning those issues which concern Americans the most … inflation, the economy, immigration, and crime.) The DNC appears to be one feint after another.
One of things Donald Trump spoke about was fixing our military. He plans to demand those involved in the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan to resign. “I will ask for the resignation of every single senior military official who touched the Afghanistan disaster,” Trump promised, adding “I want their resignations immediately.”
He also commented on his plan for critical race theory and transgenderism in the military. “On Day One, I will get critical race theory and transgender insanity the hell out of our US armed forces,” Trump promised hotly. “We’re taking it out.”
“If you want to have a sex change or a social justice seminar, then you can do it somewhere else. But you’re not going to do it in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Space Force, or the United States Marines. Sorry.”
He explained, “Our warriors should be focused on defeating America’s enemies, not figuring out their genders.”
BRAVO !
One interesting happening during that rally was that Trump left his now see-through protective bulletproof glass box to go to an older woman who had fainted in what appeared to be the first row of the audience. Medical help was asked for, and Mr. Trump immediately left the stage to be at her side. Soon she recovered enough to receive a hug from him.
Not exactly the mean curmudgeon that the Dems have painted him to be!
Tonight I plan to try to again read Stephen King’s latest book as it cannot be worse than listening to tonight’s DNC speech by Kamala.
