Draft them

President Trump should draft all those pampered, millionaire football players.  Maybe they'll learn a little about respecting our flag and those who served and died for it. 

Maria hits CT

Well we can all sympathize with what hurricane Maria did to Puerto Rico. But of course Connecticut being as liberal and Democratic as it is has to go the extra mile. They are taking in thousands of students from Puerto Rico, into Connecticut schools and they're saying that we will feed them and we will give them medical attention and we will give them an education. Correct me if I'm wrong , it's the people that live in these towns that are already strained for budget money and are laying off teachers that run these schools. So our property taxes will have to go up so that we can feed and medically care for and educate a bunch of Puerto Rican kids that have never set foot on Connecticut soil in the past. 

Here comes Jose

After seeing what happened in Houston with hurricane Harvey and in Florida with hurricane Irma, I guess Connecticut got a little jealous. The weather casters here are already creating hype about Hurricane Jose which if it even gets to us will bring us maybe a rainy day with a little bit of wind. But it's a welcome relief to hear them talk about that rather than Trump bashing.  I'm guessing that within a day or so they will have everybody running to fill their bathtubs with water, their gas tanks in their cars, and removing every loaf of bread and jar of peanut butter you can find on any shelf in a supermarket. Oh well.

Florida

You have just got to love the state of Florida. I'm down here and have endured one of the worst weather disasters I've ever lived through in my 66 years. Hurricane Irma did a number on everything. But the people of Florida, we take care of our own, and we fix ourselves up. I don't see anybody jumping through all the Hoops they did for Texas. I don't see any movie stars in singing artists making million-dollar donations to help us. I don't see any major Red Cross Vans ushering through the towns. What I do see 1000 of Florida residents helping their neighbors and Friends. We were evacuated and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Fort Lauderdale about a mile and a half from the ocean. Although the hotel had its own problems with leaks on Windows and roofs and doors, the staff here could not have been better. We lost power several times, and endured howling winds and pelting rain. But the hotel staff stepped up to the plate, they helped every way they could, they too were staying here at the hotel and it was like home.  So hats off to Jean Jo the general manager of the holiday inn Express on Commercial Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale and her staff. From The Ranting Captain and many more,. "we appreciate your efforts".

Contrast

Well I'm down in Fort Lauderdale Florida riding  out hurricane Irma that's moving my way. I can't help but to notice the sharp contrasts between how well, and how organized the State of Florida , the county system of government and the governor of the state handle things compared to the chaos that happens in Connecticut. This is like a very smooth running machine with the Precision of a Swiss watch. I am very proud to be a Floridian from Broward County.

Connecticut really does suck

Governing magazine is a publication sent to state and government officials.  Although retired, they still send it to me.  Front cover of the September issue shows a picture of a beautiful estate in CT.  Headline reads how could the Nations wealthiest state be so screwed up.  Big article about Malloy being the worst of all 50 governors and our management of the state is poor.  Guess what people, it's been run by Democrats.  Vote them out.  Rosa Delaura has been in almost 40 years.  There should be term limits. These people only help themselves and their party. The same party that created all these problems.  You can't just mess everything up and expect the state employees to bail you out or tax your way out of it.

Hurricane Irma

I'm leaving for southern Florida to board up my house for Hurricane Irma. I can't help but to wonder if people are all going to send me money and donations when my place is blown apart. I'm white, I'm retired , I won't have to go into a shelter but I will have to rebuild and restock.
I don't begrudge the people that have been harmed by Hurricane Harvey in Texas. My fear is that everybody that has donated so far will feel they've already done their part and not want to donate any more for the people in Florida. The Florida hurricane right now is a category 5 with winds over 185 miles per hour. It is the worst storm recorded in the Atlantic history.   Let's hope for the best.

My blood pressure

All of this stuff going on just cannot be good for my blood pressure. Today I have two things to talk about. First, Whoopi Goldberg, she wants to know what mrs. Trump is doing in Texas. I'm sure she didn't ask any questions when Michelle Obama went to the disasters with her husband. And second, is the Soros Squad out there again. This time about DACA. I was watching the news and all I saw was all these lily-white Democrats out there protesting DACA. It doesn't even concern them. But because it was something done by Trump, the Democrats don't like it and they will do their usual daily protests around the entire country.
