Al Fresco Free

Retired high school government teacher, high school, college, and public librarian, a world traveler, and a regular Fox News viewer. BA, MST, partial MEd, and MLS. Past resident of Oregon, Guam, Australia, Minnesota, and now Arizona. 6 yrs Naval Reserve. Voted mostly DEM since JFK, then GOP after Bill Clinton. A former member of the ACLU, the AFT and NEA unions. A matured liberal, ie. conservative and a Catholic. The world has changed, but my basic beliefs have not. I love satire, sarcasm, politics, talk radio, snarky humor, and reading historical fiction and the newspaper. I complete the NYT crossword puzzle daily. My essential TV news shows are “The Five” then “Gutfeld!” aired on FoxNews. I’m a White heterosexual fan of the cartoon “The Fusco Brothers” and my avatar is AL FUSCO, therefore Al Fresco. All Woke followers may address me by my preferred pronoun “YOU.” Mister or Sir is also acceptable.

    Back to trench warfare? I think the consumer is losing this one.

    When does anything work out for the little guy? We are all getting screwed over by big business and big government. The successful ones are those who managed to get screwed over less than the other guy.

    Trump doesn’t back of and charges in with his bluster and confidence. If the first debate doesn’t come off right for either candidate they can fine tune for the next one.

    Thankfully our Congress does not behave as they do in South Korea or Taiwan where fist fights are the order of the day. Of three I think MTG was the most tame and AOC was the worst. But then my partisanship may be showing. The final solution: if their constituents don’t like their behavior, they don’t have to re-elect them.

    Who wants to be a druggie in Chicago in Winter when you can camp out and do drugs in LA? Especially with all the goodies they give to these “residents.”

    The Palestinians have been for removal even back in British Mandate times. They’ve started several wars with the goal of inhalation or driving them into the sea. And they, the Palestinians, lost again and again.

    Just a few minutes ago at the NRA convention, Trump agreed to the terms of the debate and shrugged it off as no big deal. The he promise he would win the debate no matter the rules He then talked about the gag order vis-a-vis the debate. All off the cuff. Can your guy speak w/o a teleprompter? Should be interesting TV,

    I left Oregon in 1984 when tax payers repeatedly voted down school budgets. My position as librarian was cut. Since then education in Oregon has floundered from lack of financial support. Teaching in Arizona’s schools is not any better. Many are worse, but for other reasons. I now have the best job ever – a comfortable retirement.
