kentuck's JournalIt's almost eerie and surreal...
A gigantic hurricane stalls over the Bahamas, as if to catch its breath, before it begins its final journey.
The country is mesmerized. Nobody knows what is going to happen next? But we have our "models".
Are there powers in heaven trying to send us a message? Or is the Mother Earth attempting to cool her waters?
There is symbolism in all of it.

Just my opinion.
"...Only outlaws will have guns".
It seems that history has gone in a totally opposite direction from when right-wingers preached that "when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"?
Since the ban was taken off military-style assault weapons, it seems that a lot of "outlaws" have gotten their hands on guns?
Then, they said, "The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun". Well, the good guys are a "no-show" in these latest massacres in Texas. And in Texas, a lot of people have guns.
They always argue their "right to bear arms" as an issue of freedom and the Constitution. If that is the case, what about the "freedoms" of everyone else? What happened to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? What "freedom" do you have when you are fearful of going to a Walmart? What "freedom" do you have when you are afraid to walk down the street? Is the entire country supposed to surrender their freedoms so that "outlaws" can enjoy their "freedom" to own an AR-15 or AK-47 and mow our people down at random?
What freedom have you lost when you are afraid to send your children to school?
It's time to take back our freedom from the "outlaws".
When a President is selected by the Electoral College, he has not been elected by the people...
....necessarily.
Donald Trump was NOT elected by the people. He received almost 3 million votes less than the winner, Hillary Clinton.
So let us stop talking nonsense about the "will of the people".
Let us stop pretending that Donald Trump cannot be held accountable because the people put him in office. The people did not put him in office.
The people are not obligated to Donald Trump. Donald Trump is obligated to the people.
There is no automatic respect whenever a president is chosen in such a manner.
It is he that should be showing gratitude.
