Huh?

I sometimes wonder how these so-called "experts" on television get their jobs.  This is esp so for the lawyers, the networks' legal experts.  This one was heard this AM, dealing with some case out in California (?).  "There are a lot of similarities in the two cases.  But if we disregard the similarities, the cases are quite different."  Huh??????

I find it upsetting that the President, his lackeys, his supporters, and the LameStream media (Am I being redundant here?) are now claiming that anyone who disagrees with the President, anyone who doesn't think he's been a good President, etc., is a racist.  What if I think he's done a lousy job with foreign affairs, making the world less safe and stable with a wishy-washy foreign policy?  What if I think he's overstepped his Constitutional authority as chief executive?  What if I think he has not done very well on the domestic economic front, despite all the spin from his administration and the lap dog LameStreams?  What if I think he's been very divisive rather than bringing people together?  What if I think he's not nearly as "eloquent" as we've been led to believe?  And so on......  How in the world does that make me a racist?  I also found lots of faults with W. Bush, a lot of them and many of them similar complaints.  So, vis-a-vis W. Bush, what names can his supporters call me?

I am also concerned that so many people seem blind, almost willfully so, when it comes to Hillary Clinton.  It's no secret I have no respect or affinity for Don Trump.  I didn't vote for him and I'd never vote for him.  (Why do I feel compelled to repeat that again and again?)  His appointments, so far, have been far less inspiring than his supporter or even those who say, "Let's give him a chance," seem to think.  But how can anyone still think Clinton has been maligned, has been give "a bad rap?"  OK, I understand where some folks think she was "the lesser of two evils," although I don't agree.  We can disagree on that; that's fine.  But how do people not see that she was a rotten candidate, a rotten person, etc.?

It bothers me, too, that so many continue to view Trump's election as a result of "bigoted, racist, stupid white men," who, BTW, belong to the KKK or Nazi Party or something like that.  Will things ever get better if the Establishment of both parties, the LameStreams, etc., the self-anointed arrogant elitists, refuse to acknowledge how fed up many people are?  The election was not "Trump," but Anti-Establishment.

Let's hope the price tags for Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander, Ian Kinsler, and AJ Martinez are too high for any other teams and that they stay in Detroit.  I think it would be a shame to break of this nucleus with the young pitchers coming back.  What would the salary cap "tax" be for the billionaire Illich?  He can't afford a few million bucks, esp with the taxpayers coming up with more and more money for his new Red Wings arena now that the Pistons are on board, too?

My favorite period of artists is the Renaissance.  I love the naturalism, the individualism of the paintings and sculptures.  I am always stunned at how realistic the art work is, at the painstaking detail of it.  Michelangelo is my favorite, but I also like Raphael--and the other Turtles!  Da Vinci is remarkable, but the only painting of his that is a favorite of mine is The Last Supper, which is one of my very top favorites.  Today in class, I spent almost the entire two hours showing slides of Renaissance art, from comparisons with Medieval art and the influence of the Church and Bible (Christianity) to the use of concepts such as the above individualism and naturalism and the brighter colors.  The Renaissance artists had egos, no doubt.  They were Alfred Hitchcock before there was Alfred Hitchcock, many of them painting themselves in their works like Hitchcock gave himself cameo roles in his films.

Is this true?  Was Algore's personal worth about $700,000 when he ran for President?  I find that hard to believe in that he and his daddy were both career politicians.  And then, now, he's worth more than $700 million?  Are those true?
