This morning one of those days. 

I could not sleep. Awake since 2. Opted to do an early blog. Finished it at 6. Published it. Screwed up somehow. Did not publish. Disappeared. No matter what I tried, I could not find it.

Decided to skip today. However here it is 10 am and I have decided to redo the blog. You can tell I have nothing better to do.

We have been warned. Hurricane risks escalating. With the weather so hot, it may very well be the case that at some point hurricane season at its worst may be upon us.

I sense perhaps another Irma. Might give me a chance to do another Irma and Me.

My concern and that of many others is that a worse type of hurricane season confronts us. The problem involves insurance carriers. Too many natural disasters. They are running low on money. As a result homeowners and businesses are getting screwed. Insurance companies have been seeking every possible way to turn down claims. People are not being properly compensated. Lawsuits galore. People are rebuilding with their own bucks. Some settling way short. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I sense I may be writing another novel. Another Irma. However with a much different twist. I hope not. However’ it seems such may be the case.

Trump and the Wall Street Journal have been “friends” forever. Now a breach in the relationship. Trump has declared war on the Journal. Banned the Wall Street Journal from the pool on the Scotland trip.

All has to do with the Epstein story and its publication. Trump has sued the Journal also for defamation re its publication of the story.

It now appears we elected Trump for the second time so he might exercise his power to sue in a retaliatory fashion. What a waste!

Trump continues to reflect he has a common foe: The new media.

Trump may regret having taken on Harvard. A hearing took place before Federal Judge Allison D. Burroughs yesterday in Boston. The atmosphere and questioning of the hearing indicated Trump is going to take a beating. A lawyer for Harvard called Trump’s case against it “cooked up.” The Judge appeared to agree. Judge Burrough’s decision will be interesting. I support a gigantic slap in the face for Trump.

One of Donald’s problems is he get his nose in where it does not belong. Like renaming the Washington NFL team. Trump wants it to be called the “Commanders.” Owners, etc. are happy to remain with “Redskins.”

Has Trump nothing better to do?

Trump officials are being accused of defying one in three court decisions involving the President. Defamation being charged. Three claims being made: Trump’s people defuse, delay and are dishonest. A weakening of the U.S. legal system

Vanity Fair has an excellent article titled “The Godfather Presidency: “How Trump’s Government Style Mirrors the Mob of Yesteryear”.

Mike Johnson lacking in Speaker perfection. A loser at best. Doing well with a very thin margin.

He first said everything Epstein should be public: Put it on the table! Then voted “No” to revealing election information.

Epstein’s girls were young. Generally 16 or less. Airport staff failed to comment. One reason given was that Epstein “tipped well.”

U.S. public bathrooms leave much to be desired. We are ranked in the 30th percentile worldwide. Proud we should be!

Throne Labs is coming up with a new system which in effect will make U.S. johns reflect cleanliness is next to Godliness.

The “heat” is astronomical. I’m surprised more people are not getting sick.

A bit of Keys History.

In 1953, because of pressure from the U.S. Navy, Key West outlawed B-girls from certain local bars. The Navy feared for its young sailors.

In 1907, the Key West Post Office began delivering mail three times a day: Beginning at  7:30 am, 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm.

In 1943, the U.S. Navy Blimp K-74 was shot down by the German submarine U-134 about 50 miles southeast of Marathon. With the exception of one, the crew was recovered.

Enjoy your day!
