Paranoia
By Mona Lease

Hi, all!! I had another reader-request for the following. I thought I'd submit it for you readers to think on and if nothing else - a good laugh.

Regarding our Presidential Election: If Hillary becomes president and there will be no more guns, I ask: "Really?? Think back to Prohibition and no more alcohol. People who had the money still bought alcohol. Whoever got the desired product to the one with the money first - got the money for the delivered goods. It's reported that the Holly Farms car race was started with them "running shine." During a war the black market will sell you anything for which you can or will pay. This is especially true when the war is during or after a depression."

"And aside from the government getting a list from the NRA (if the NRA would give up the list) of their members and getting a list from the states of guns to whom they've registered them - are they (government officials, Gmen, Tmen, etc?) going to go door-to-door to search your house for unreported/unregistered guns? Are they going to use metal detectors across your property to find guns/ammunition you've buried?? Are they going to tear up the USA looking for guns? If they tore up your house looking for guns, where would you live - who would pay to rebuild it - your insurance? If they put you in jail for using a gun - how long would they keep you there? Couldn't you get out of jail and buy another gun from the black market or someone who bought a bunch of guns for just this reason?? Hillary can say she wants no guns - that that's the answer to our gun problem. She does not have sole power. Which brings me to this:

"Obama and Hillary were both running on the Democratic ticket or party. Halfway through - she quits. Why?? Obama wins. It is because if Hillary were president first, Obama would have gotten no GASP?? We never had a woman or black person seek an office that high. Now the USA wonders what to say and what to think about the NAACP? What would they do...how far would they go?? Obama himself spoke of the NAACP and hinted at it on several occasions. I heard him for myself. The USA went GASP!!! I do not see a gasp with Hillary. She is only a woman and white. We've stared Obama, his train-wreck of required health insurance, and the NAACP in the face for almost 8 years now. What group would back Hillary the way the NAACP would have backed Obama? Where would the notoriety be there? The GASP is gone. We've been desensitized. Someone said if Hillary gets in office, her hubby Bill will really be running the show. I don't buy that either. I think she told Bill to apologize and squeeze out a tear or two after the famed "white stain on the blue dress" caper. He publicly apologized and I can not tell you how many women I know personally put Bill up on a pedestal..."what a man..a real man. My husband/boyfriend would never apologize publicly." Hillary apologized for her notoriously questionable emails. I expected it - it worked in the past for her family. The public bought Bill's apologies and Hillary's, too."

I am concerned about Trump. He said build a wall between Mexico and the USA...stretch it all the way from Texas to California. Then he apologized to the Mexicans. Why? Is it because legal or not - Mexicans can vote with a photo id that has an address on it?? How does Trump know more about ISIS than our generals? Does he have ties to them?? I watched Trump make fun of a handicapped reporter that was at one his of rallies. I thought Trump wanted us all working? And his comments about grabbing p and small-chested women being worthless to him - how is this going to "make America great again??" I heard Trump say he could stand in Time Square, commit a crime and not lose popularity. Really? Like a pinball - Trump is all over the place. How could you possibly predict with 10% accuracy what he will say - or do? I think this is all a real-life soap opera  we look forward to at the end of the day or week.

Either way - Hillary or Trump - the GASP is gone. And I don't believe either of them have an "NAACP-type bulldog" to back them...all the way...all the time.

As with last week's column: Don't make decisions - any decisions  based on your emotions or what you think they mean. That's what we did with Obama and his entourage of girls dressed straight out of the 60's and all the "peace and love will keep us together" memories - remember? Pay attention to words...not their looks - and the fact that they still have to go through channels. Study how a bill is written, where it goes to get through the houses, how it gets to the President's desk, how many times the President can veto it, etc. Again - this is my take.

Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next time. Ever Toodles!! MONA
