The Year From Hell

 The Year From Hell
Don’t look at the sky.

I don’t always stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve. But I will this December 31, just to be sure 2020, the year from Hell, leaves. The only thing positive about this year is that I didn’t waste any money on a 2020 planner.

I wondered, as did millions of others, what size 15 shoe would fall next. Now we know. Our president and his striking bride have tested positive for COVID. Reports are that the president is exhibiting “mild symptoms.” The UK’s Boris Johnson, almost 20 years younger than the Donald, also started out with mild symptoms. But the virus spanked his backside pretty hard before it left him. As the Donald is fond of saying, we’ll have to see. Boris is back at the top of his game. We can hope the Donald will be soon. I’ve not seen any reports about Melania’s condition. But I’m happy to believe her prospects are good. She’s only 50 and certainly looks, uh, fit. (Damn does she look fit.)

    The way things are going, there may be a large asteroid on a path to crash into the Earth next week.

With all these developments rolling out of Washington with the frequency of tropical systems rolling off the coast of Africa this time of year, I’m afraid to look up into the sky, as clear and blue as it is hereabouts this time of year. The way things are going, there may be a large asteroid on a path to crash into the Earth next week. If this imminent disaster were to be confirmed, I’m sure the New York Times (and NYT wannabes) would find a way to blame it on the Donald. (The subhead on their Trump asteroid story would be, “Women and minorities hardest hit.”)

What this untimely health hitch means for the presidential race is anyone’s guess. But I have to think this one will be harder to make lemonade out of than most of what has come already. Even the cheery Ronald Reagan would find it hard to find the pony in this doleful development.

Every year has been worse than the year before. What will make it better in 2021? What? We've lost everything.

Give me one reason why I shouldn't end it now. I'm being partially facetious here, but there's no hope. The LORD has turned His back and a deaf ear to us.

1968 was worse, if you remove the lockdown:

MLK and RFK murdered
Race riots in almost every major city with deaths
Soviets invading Czechoslovakia
Vietnam War


and, oh, by the way,  there was a pandemic in 1968, too.

The "big one" in California would complete the year...

Are you being serious here?   The Lord never said we wouldn't face hardships.  The Lord, therefore, is still there for us... despite all efforts to convince us otherwise.   Catch a frigging clue.

As for you "ending it now"....

you do you.

[XenaLee]

This year has definitely shown us what evil can do when evil is unrestrained (the ChiComs, the DemocRats, the Anarchist left, etc.).

The lesson here?   Don't allow these evil entities to be unrestrained.  It ain't rocket science.

Vote GOP against the DemocRats and the Anarchist left.   As for restraining the ChiComs, there are ways other than all out nuclear war.   If anyone knows how to do that, it would be Donald Trump at this point.  Vote accordingly.

Thanks for your caring support. /sarc Thankfully it was only facetious, but if it ever got to the point, I'll be glad to know you'll be egging me on.

"If you remove the lockdown." If you remove the single greatest infringement on our freedoms in American history that has yet to be fully repealed or stricken down, yeah, sure, you can find worse years. But there's no sign of that happening in 2021, either. Until Fauci is tarred and feathered in the streets, and all his supporters and enablers are banished from all levels of public office, I won't have hope.

No, I was being facetious, as well.   See how easy that was?   

When it comes to suicide, I'm an optimist ... and I take a "tough love" stance.   Especially since... I consider that to be the most cowardly, gutless option anyone could take.   We're put here on earth for a reason.   Opting out early due to our own weakness is not an option.   Stand strong and endure to the end.   That is the only way to earn your rewards in Heaven.   But I digress....

Don't worry, bro -- it's just the flu.
(bears repeating amongst the Pubbies down in DC today... right...?)

2020 is like 1860 all over again.
Something awaits us...   but we don't know what it will be. Not yet.

One thing I know, and can state with absolute certainty:
"After Trump... the deluge."

@jmyrlefuller

If you do end it early,make sure you remember to pay me the 500 bucks you owe me,ok? You wouldn't want to go to the grave with something like that on your conscious,would you?

There's no way we can grasp the big picture, of which 2020 was just a tiny part. But be assured there is a big picture He has prepared and you'll like how it turns out.

I suspect that part of His plan is for Trump to rise like the Phoenix, healthier, more energetic and more resolved and determined than ever... ready to resume his job of keeping America safe and prosperous against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic.
