APRIL FOOLS DAY: An Opinion

 





"You can fool all the people some of the time
and some of the people all the time,
but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

________________________________Abraham Lincoln________________________________


Could be, Mr. Lincoln was so off base when he said this. He could not have envisioned about 170 years into the future that we'd be a nation of so many fools, so many people so easily fooled. If indeed he said this at all.  It's generally attributed to him, suggesting it was said either during the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates ~ or perhaps a few years earlier at the 1856 Republican Convention. Regardless of the if-or-when, many historians and documentary evidence tend to question this today.

Yet, here we are!  Way too many people fooled "back in November" and still being fooled each and every day by the Number One Fool who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (except for every weekend down in Florida, how's that for government waste?) ... the Foolish Aides who indulge and accede to his every word or whim ... supported by more Fools in the Senate of Silence, and even more Fools in the House of Representatives who bend and capitulate in fear, mere marionettes on strings ... and let's add in all the Fools in the Cabinet, with their pasted-on smiles and nodding, bobbling heads ... "April" Fools Day? ... It's not just for April anymore is it?


"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government,
then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools."

SPRING SPRING CLEANING


"birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it ..."
WHAT?  Oh, that's about falling in love.  Yeah, I knew that.

I just kinda sorta liked the words, 'cept for those educated fleas ... 
those words kinda sorta
worked for my "spring cleaning" picture dontcha think?
Doesn't everybody do it?

Mine Mommy took four big bags of stuff to the give-away-store last week
and she said it was time for me to do my toy box ... 
I said, OK, but don't think 
spring cleaning means I'll give away even one of my springs!  
Never. Not. No.

On another note (pawlitically, of course) ... the amazing opinion writer for the Washington Post, Dana Milbank, has a piece today, 3/31/2025 ... and if you can read it (LINK below) I assure you it will be enjoyed.  Though often these stories are available only to subscribers unfortunately.  Who could have known there were so many critters over there at our Zoo we needed to dispose of under those rules of "DEI" ... ohmycat ... they simply do not belong here!

How Trump can deport all those migrant predators at the National Zoo

The National Zoo can easily be converted into a symbol of American Greatness.

A DAY AT THE PARK ~

SHERWOOD GARDENS is a beautiful private ~ though open to the public, park 
in the northern part of downtown Baltimore.  
At it's peak, nearly 50,000 tulips will bloom there, 
below a brief video and more views.


The photo above is from a visit with friends in late April 2023 ~ and no ~
June did not go along, even though she's hiding behind a tree.  
She's just enjoying a virtual visit today!
