The summer of 2017 is beautiful, sunny, and hot, and I have little of note to comment on in politics on my blog. The newscycle is decidedly slow. I apologize deeply, but I cannot bring myself to care about the latest gossip and leaked documents about Russia, the Trump administration, and Vladimir Putin. I do not really care whether Putin dredged up dirt on Hillary Clinton in the 2016, U.S. Presidential election, or not. It seems clear to me he did probably dig up dirt on her, then shared it with then-candidate Trump and the world, and otherwise made trouble for her, in general.
Regarding President Donald Trump's involvement, I do not care at all. The election was Hillary's to lose, as far as I can see, and she lost it, fair and square. Case closed. All the rest is useless drivel, partisan horse manure, and bad sportsmanship, so far as I am concerned.
What to write about, then? Keep an eye out at this blog address for a review of a good book of contemporary poetry. More soon....
