Drug millionares

People literally do go without the necessities of life for the want of  plentiful drugs that no one can afford.  Drug Company executives make millions.  I'm not talking about a year, I'm talking about their weekly salaries!  For most  of us, we couldn't use up their weekly salaries if we tried!  The trying would wear us out.  Now to these drug executives.  Is there no reality in their lives.  Do they not get the picture?  And most of all, do they feel no shame or guilt?  Their greed is beyond comprehension.  Do you suppose there really is a Hell?.........................marge

Detroit's Mayoral race

Margaret Betts     birminghammarge.blogspot.com

Just now · 

I watched Coleman Young 11 being interviewed by a T V reporter. He's running against current Detroit Mayor, Mike Duggan. He appears to be a smart alecky young man who shoots his mouth off from the hip. I've never met either but judging from watching them, there is no comparison. The young man apparently lacks maturity. Instead of saying what he's hoping to accomplish, he bad mouths Mayor Duggan and refused the reporter's straight forward question. You have a lot of growing to do. You are starting to sound like that fellow who sits in the Oval Office in D.C. And one of those is rest assured, enough.................marge

Trump's response to the environment

As I watch the TV and hear what all Trump is reversing when it comes to the environment and our health, I feel sickened.  It doesn't just affect the USA, but the whole world.  Does his so called 'Cabinet' not see this?  Greed, not humanity has taken over.  As individuals, what can we do to stop this madness?  The 'anti' emails they must receive apparently do little good.  I feel we've reached some of them but that isn't enough.  If we are afraid of him and his 'crew' then we must stop, take a deep breath and change ourselves.  He is unchangeable.  He will continue to make changes and destroy any progress that we have made in the past years.  We must encourage our Congressmen to stand up and speak up.  If we individuals and Congress can't or won't do it, be prepared for the worst.  Waiting  four years is too late.  We need to do it now............................marge

"Trump' squirrels

I watch and try to listen to Trump as best I can.  Not easy to do.  He just keeps repeating the things he likes about himself on any and every  topic.  He is so full of 'Is' my listening goes bad. I've been noticing of late, his strong resemblance to the squirrels that have commandeered my bird feeder. They run all around the yard, even appearing to be chasing each other but I think that's a distraction to keep our minds off of the real problems we face.  They are as clever as Trump, or he them.  Your choice..................marge

Trump's attacks on Obama

Trump must have been hating Obama from the very beginning of his campaign to run for the Presidency of the U.S.A.  He hates Obama more than anyone in the world.  His sole purpose in running and winning, was to destroy anything and everything with Obama's name on it.  The  pride and respect everyone feel for the Obama family is Trump's only driving force.  Trump thinks power, is the same as respect.  In his attempts to prove it, he may destroy us all....................marge

Trump and his Cabinet members

I am truly scared by Donald and all his Cabinet members.  Have they been hypnotized, fed 'special' drinks, reacting to something put into the ventilation system?  If he is allowed to continue on this path, for even another day or two, the results could be disastrous, not just for the U.S but the whole world.  Surely important people realize this.  What is keeping them from stopping this mayhem?  Are the Republicans afraid they will lose their and their wives life long pensions?  Are these the selfish bastards we put where they are?  If not the money, are they all fearful of challenging Trump?  Is he that scary to them.  Then maybe they should realize he's that scary to the rest of the world.  In the name of the world we live in act and act now.  Time, I truly believe, is running out.  You are elected officials.  Do what you swore to do!...................marge

I lost my Senior Citizen Manual.

I need everyone's help.  Either I missed the day they handed out 'Senior Citizen Manual' or they don't make them and aren't handing them out.  Its a new scary time in our lives and we need all the help we can get.  As of late, I prefer sleeping in my Lazy Boy chair and half watching 'Tom and Jerry' on the
television.  The house rule, which has recently been extended to late a.m. is always in effect.  Don't call me before 11a.m.!  The phone rang.  It was a daughter.  I opened my eyes and looked at the clock.  It read 7:00.  I almost immediately started lecturing her on her untimeliness, thoughtlessness and anything else that briefly popped into my head.  Then, when I stopped to take a breath she chimed in,  "Mom, its 7:00 P.M.!"  Oh.  I said.  But are you really sure?  A short while later I called her back and apologized.  She is most forgiving.  I wasn't going to mention something else but feel I must.  Someone, when I'm not looking, keeps untying one of my shoes.  I  tend to trip over the laces so I wish you'd stop doing that, whomever you are...............................marge

Republican whimps

The Republicans who stand silently and not so silently behind Trump may well cause our Country to go to Hell in a hand basket.  We've reached a critical point in the United States And Trump's supporters don't seem to realize it.  I've been watching these shows where young people go on a seemingly random shooting rage killing adults, teenagers and grade school children.  No one, apparently in every case, couldn't see it coming or chose not to see it as it was too unbelievable to see.  Republicans have been told by the best of the best that Trump is on an uncontrollable rampage.  Psychiatrists, highly respected long time Newsmen and other wise people have been trying to tell you.  You won't listen or take action.  Why?  Are you so proud to be a Republican that you are willing to sit by and watch our Country be systematically destroyed by this man and his 'chosen' cohorts?  Wake up.  It's getting to be too late.  See it.  Feel it.  Please...........................marge

Love the word 'recuse'

If and when I ever run for Public Office, I know what my first action will be. For all my unsavory and unpopular deeds in the past, now and in the future, I will henceforth, recuse myself.  Isn't this a great country we live in right now?.......................marge
