The title of today’s post is WTF DO THEY DO? This is about politicians and what they are supposed to do and what they actually do. You may have heard that Marjorie Taylor Greene is demanding that the next speaker of the house does as she wishes. Then there is Rep. Boebart and her anti-Muslim words. I saw a video of Rep. Boebart making those remarks and it looked like she was auditioning her stand-up act. Now both of these women have a lot to say as do many of their male counterparts, but as far as I can see these two have done absolutely nothing for the people in their respectful districts, so maybe I’m right about Boebart’s stand up act. Marjorie seems to have put all her hopes in dreams into getting Trump elected. I guess she doesn’t realize that the first wrong position or word she says will make her his enemy for life. These two aren’t the only ones that are putting their careers ahead of the people that elected them, AOC and a few others are just as bad. Boebart and Greene are facing other Republican women in upcoming primaries it will be interesting to see if the voters want representation or stand up. This is FATS and Antonia saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

Well, it’s another rainy Sunday down here in Colombia. The countries might not be so similar in weather but they are very similar politically. What I’m trying to say is there both corrupt. There is one difference in that Colombians don’t try as hard to hide the corruption, it’s pretty much we know it and deal with it. Americans don’t really want to know to what extent their government is corrupt. A person like Trump wouldn’t last long down here before someone shot him for being stupid as well as corrupt. That’s one thing that’s really different about Latin America they’ll tolerate a certain amount of corruption but they won’t tolerate stupidity. Trump may think he’s a genius but the world knows him to be dumb. I am losing faith that the United States will survive this present attack on Democracy. I can see Putin laughing just like we did when Communism crashed. We’re no different than many countries who survived attacks only to fall prey to the enemy within. I’m depressing myself so we’ll just say this is FATS and ANTONY saying CIAO from Medellin Colombia.

OK, in the last few weeks I have alluded to health problems so now here’s the story. A few weeks ago I had a physical, which included blood tests and EKG etc.. I forgot to include a PSA test and had to go back for that. The initial results were a high number on the PSA (7.84) which wasn’t great. They felt I had a blockage in my heart from the EKG. The first thing they said was to go get this test from the cardiologist, then go have a sonogram done on your prostate. Well, the sonogram came up first and they felt they saw something on my prostate. Now at my age having a doctor say something like that doesn’t make you want to jump for joy. They told me I needed to have a biopsy, again not making me happy. Well, I went and had it done and came back no tumors or malignancy present, so I jumped a little. Then came the heart test, which consisted of me wearing a monitor for 24 hours it came back cool. So it would appear that I will be around for a while longer. I have had an Aortic Aneurysm for the last 30 years or so. When it was first discovered I was also found to have Retro Parental fibrosis. This meant that if they had to operate there were only two doctors in the US that would do it so here I am walking around with an Aneurysm. I am not going to worry about any of this because I’m 75 and have lived longer than I ever thought I would. I worry about senility or becoming a burden to others. Well, I think I’ve outdone myself on boring you today so I’ll just say this is FATS and ANTONIA saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

I’m still waiting for the results of some tests I took, they should be here this week and then I’ll let everybody know what’s happening. Now, to this week’s post. Do you remember when you first learned about the Constitution? Well, I do and I remember it saying it was a government for the people and by the people, sounds like a great concept right. Well, our politicians seem to have forgotten that and now operate under the premise that it’s for them not for you. I think that’s why the Trumpster and all his little pea brain followers got elected. The American people are now starting to understand that the people in Washington don’t give a shit about them and what they need or want. I believe that they will now vote for people that they believe are not mainstream and will actually change things. They will change things they just won’t be changing them for the betterment of the general public, but rather into what they deem as their vision of the way things should be. In other words, it will be worse than before. They believe that being free to think what we want is not best for us or for them. Most of us have never been afraid to say what we think except maybe at our work. But, tell me how will you feel when it’s no longer safe to object to the government or even to your neighbor. I know people who have lived in countries like that but of course, no one will believe it can happen here. That thinking process is naive and will get you nowhere. I hope I’m wrong about the way I think and see things but? This is FATS and ANTONIA saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.
