2018; The Year In… A Few

December 29, 2018 By Chas. Ames

JBLM turns 100. It has survived two world wars and a police action or two and a few BRAC panels. I’ve spent many a night in those rickety North Fort barracks. They were built for the second war to end all wars which were intended to be destroyed antebellum; says the Pentagon… ‘nuh-uh’.

Kids gave up ‘spidget finners’ for vape pens, apparently a gateway drug to the forbidden plant marihuana and opioids; somebody in DuPont says ‘better living through chemistry’.

Except for the kids in cages. Blacks were enslaved, natives were decimated, Japanese were interned, and the hits just keep on keepin’ on, kittens.

In an objective math lesson, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has one of her TEN yachts set adrift causing damage. Now how many yachts does Betsy have left?

And 2018 is the first year the US budget deficit reached one trillion annually. That’s ‘trillion’ with a capital ‘t’ and that rhymes with ‘p’ and that stands for… well, trouble. Won’t the Party of Trump be livid when they find out who created it.

Oh, yeah… apparently America IS great again, what with our “big beautiful medical coverage for all… no one will be left out” according to the reality star president.

Boof O’Kavanaugh has been sworn in to the highest court in the land never having tried a case. I need a beer.

Democrats took the House of Representatives, so I guess the borders have to be torn down and rampant crime is law. Republicans said so. You know the Republicans, they were the ones that wouldn’t put a ‘D’ on their election yard signs. Or an ‘R’.

Tell me… did they lock up Hillary? I was quite surprised to find that all it took to ‘Make America Great Again’ was a helping of hate.

    Unreadable sophomoric attempt at humor. I found nothing funny as I tried to understand what he’s throwing here.
    Dont waste your time.

      Guess you do no see what a despicable person trump is. Many of us do and agree with the remarks the author made.
