I mean you Trump voters. Don’t answer that. I’ll answer it myself at the end of this post. (And I’m not southern so I probably mangled the title.)

Me? Not a Trump voter. Totally exhausted. Let me count the ways. Or not. What I will say is that 2025 has been so chaotic that when I heard the radio talking about “the” New Year’s Day attack, I HTG (Had To Google) “attack New Year’s Day” because I was totally lost. Oh yeah, NOLA Bourbon St. truck massacre. Sigh. What next?

I can see through the little woods behind my house in the winter when the trees don’t have leaves. Tonight I saw a lot of taillights over in the Haisley parking lot. On Friday evening? What could be going on? They don’t do basketball games there. It’s an elementary school and I think the gym is too small. Friday is an odd night for a PTO event. I HTG and I found out that they are still doing the Valentine’s dance after all these years. They are calling it the Haisley Heart Dance now. The “dance” got started when my kids were still at the school and I was the PTO treasurer. I was a bit skeptical (can’t put into words why) but as it turned out, it was a HUGE success. The principal mentioned that it attracted families that didn’t usually show up for anything else.

Two things: 1) I am a bit surprised that they are now calling it a “dance”. We didn’t call it a dance. Although there is music and dancing, it is a *family* event with other stuff and we were careful when promoting it so as not to encourage young kids to use it as a “date night”. Although I’m sure a few of the older ones did 😉 2) It seems to have lost any reference to Valentine’s Day. Maybe that violated someone’s religion or whatever? I dunno. But apparently this is an event that “stuck” and I’m happy about whatever hand I had in it. Probably just collecting money.

To answer my original question? Yeah, all y’all think Trump is doing a wunnerful job and “getting a lot of his campaign promises done.” Drinken the orange Kool-Aid again. Forgetting that he did not win the popular vote by anywhere near a “landslide”. Which means that approximately half of the country does NOT approve of his “policies”.

My fav-o-rite Trumper actually admitted he was having a hard time disagreeing with me that the Gaza folks should NOT be moved to some other country. Me: NOOOO we should not move anyone out of their homeland unless they WANT to go. This doesn’t mean that he has budged from his overall opinions (or even the opinion we were talking about) but it was a welcome little crack of, I dunno, something. Maybe he actually listened to something I said? I will also note that he is off climbing snowy stairs at Tahquamenon and will probably not read this, at least not right away.
