Nobody Cares if HOGG Goes to Harvard
Nobody Cares
It’s official. No college wanted this idiot because of his poor school record but Harvard!
Yes, according to reports, Harvard thinks he is just the perfect little propaganda man to promote into Presidential material…to live among the elites…to dictate to the masses that “We are white supremacists and must give back the land we stole to the poor Mexicans.”
That shows you where the ‘elite’ establishment of Harvard stands: still trying to force a borderless world, on us all, and they think snubbed-nosed Hogg boy is going to be just all the rage in a few years, and just the man who could do it.
Harvard has been a cesspool of idiots since Henry Adams, whose grandfather AND father both graduated from that school, but by the time Henry taught in it, it was already just a breeding ground for future rulers of the rich. 
He was appalled at the stupidity of almost everyone who worked there.
He wrote about what a waste of time Harvard was, and how utterly STUPID were the professors.
Clearly, Harvard has NOT changed since “The Education of Henry Adams” And many of our past Presidents went to Harvard. Obama, Kennedy, FDR, Theodore, Bush…
It’s no WONDER they all hate our President. He is NOT a Harvard man. Thank god.
Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds….
Henry Adams
Nobody Cares anymore if Hogg goes to Harvard. What we DO care about, is that the man who IS President…didn’t.
President Trump’s Speech to Truth: American Gothic Progressive Rebuttle
Nobody Flashes
Tonight the President of the United States put a bull’s-eye on the problem of the border. He did a great job.
My astonishment came when he said that more people have died from drugs gotten in over the border than died in Vietnam.
Maybe we should build a wall NEXT to that Vietnam memorial, filled with their names, and call it the Pelosi/Schumer War Wall.
I almost had to laugh at Schumer and Pelosi’s faces during their rebuttal. They basically claimed that some government workers not getting paid is EQUAL to thousands of people dying. 
It was a hard argument to refute and all they could do was say, oh…it’s all a lie.
EVERYBODY knows its not.
No wonder they looked so….sick.
But, THEY know, that these video’s, like the one above by Mark Dice, are being passed around the internet and have been making them all seem like the biggest hypocrites and liars of the century.
Nobody Thinks that THIS American Gothic nightmare, of Schumer and Pelosi, was just seeing the start of their own 20/20 defeat.
This is their last dying call. The democrats now NEED illegal votes to stay in power. Nobody Wonders how long they can keep up their lame excuses and not suffer at the ballot box.
That’s why New York and California are promising them all sanctuary and free health care.
But…Hey! You have to admit, they make a lovely couple. 
Nobody’s Fool: Mike Huckabee
Nobody’s Fool
Here’s a clear and succinct explanation of how unlikely it is that President Trump will be ‘impeached.’
They can ‘impeach’ him but they can’t throw him out of office. I think the House will do it, if for no other reason than to try to keep him from getting reelected.
If you go by what Huckabee says: it will be their downfall.
How can you not like this guy? His daughter is a fierce fighter for our President, He has to be so proud of her.
X Governor Mike Huckabee is Nobody’s Fool.
I actually don’t remember him ever saying anything silly, or that didn’t make sense.
He IS…in the words of some past culture lingo…”The Bomb.”
Get Ready for the “Trump is Starving Children”…..
Nobody’s Opinion
Get ready for the upcoming “President Trump is starving our children!!” pictures, if the shutdown goes on for too long. 
Part of the shut down includes people not getting their food stamps. CNN, MSNBC, and all the networks have their cameramen out right now ready for that “My children are starving” picture.
You can bet on it.
On my local news station tonight, it was reported that three grocery chains in the area could not take food stamps due to the government shut down. They said there were a LOT of customers really pissed off.
Oooooooo…my. In my little town, I always wondered about why anybody got food stamps. In any school in my town, kids can eat for free: breakfast, lunch AND dinner. Even during the summer.
And recently, our newly elected black politician here in Ferguson country, said that no longer were men going to have to pay child support.
And why should they? The rest of us that live here feed them all.
I started to wonder about a woman who was in my local swim club….how much would SHE suffer?
By the way, she is very white.
Every day, this 60-year-old woman would do 16 laps in the pool. She told us all she was on disability. She had been on disability and living off the government and food stamps for half of her life. Sometime when she was younger, she had a heart operation, got on disability, and never had to work again.
I always thought, if she can do 16 continuous laps in the swimming pool, she could work.
Her mother was always complaining about her. She begged her child to get a job to help out with the bills. She lived with her mother, and her mother was on Social Security, and her daughter never helped her pay a bill, or gave her rent, but finally ended up putting her mother in a home, sold the house, and now lives almost for free in some kind of free housing.
And she likes to BRAG about how she has gotten by with being supported by the government all these years.
Yes, it’s hard not to tell her off.
Having said that, the fraud and waste in food stamps is overwhelming, and President Trump, is doing what President Clinton ended up doing before Obama got rid of it. Remember? He made it so you had to WORK for your welfare. People got off food stamps and started to work. By the way, Clinton was FORCED to do it…Obama…got rid of that Clinton ruling and welfare came roaring back.
We here, in the democratically run districts, will feel the pain more. We will have to pay higher taxes to make it up. But in the long run, getting people back to work, will save the federal government billions of dollars.
This from Judicial Watch:
SNAP is a federal program but states are responsible for distributing the benefit and they get big bucks from Uncle Sam to get the job done. Though federal regulations establish uniform requirements for managing administrative funds, once local governments get the money there’s no follow up from the feds, leaving the system open to fraud and corruption.
The USDA watchdog reveals the problem has persisted for years and that despite the “large variances” in SNAP administrative costs the agency doesn’t bother monitoring or coordinating with states to “assist in containing costs, minimizing variances, and sharing best practices.” The audit attributes the problem to a lack of effective oversight. In other words, yet another swollen and derelict government agency failing miserably to carry out its basic duties.
A record 46.5 million people get food stamps from the government, but the probe only includes the ten states with the highest rolls so the waste is probably much larger. The figures are broken down in the report by state and county and they’re enough to
outrage any sensible, taxpaying citizen. California leads in both charts, spending $825,316,195 a year to give 2,019,272 residents food stamps. San Francisco County spends a startling $27,947,139 a year to give just 32,074 residents food stamps and Los Angeles County $187,426,575 annually to distribute the benefit to 573,282. Other big spenders are New Jersey ($138,400,032 for 439,695 food-stamp cases) and North Dakota ($7,521,986 for 25,011). Hamilton County in Ohio did the most efficient job, spending only $5.70 to administer each of its 61,772 cases every month.
Earlier this year federal authorities in south Florida busted the largest food-stamp fraud operation in U.S. history. Twenty-two defendants in the largely black and Hispanic areas of Miami-Dade County known as Opa-Locka and Hialeah swindled the government out of $13 million by fraudulently trading food stamps for cash. The crooked vendors operated food and produce stands at a local flea market as part of First
Lady Michelle Obama’s initiative to eradicate “food deserts,” common in poor, minority communities where fresh, healthy food is tough to find or often unavailable. The feds say the business owners and their employees let food-stamp recipients use their welfare benefit to get cash in exchange for a cut of the money. They swiped the recipient’s SNAP card for an inflated amount, doled out cash and kept a percentage. In most instances the recipient didn’t actually get food, according to federal authorities.
Clearly, there are those who do need help. Having said that, most of the illegals who come into the country get food stamps.
And this nobody thinks, if you could cut out all the fraud and waste in the federal government, the national debt would disappear in ten years.
President Trump, is once again, trying to help fix another government wasteland. Just imagine, if the illegals can’t get food stamps due to the government shut down, they just might stay in Mexico.
He truly IS a genius.

I am still amazed at the talent and composure of these two children. Can you even imagine what they will be playing like when they are 21? Beautiful.
These were sent to me by a reader…so I thought I’d share. (Thanks to ‘g’man)
Enjoy…(By the way, it’s not easy to play standing up.)
Presidents and Generals
Nobody Remembers
Did you ever wonder why President George W.H. Bush did NOT go into Iraq and take out Saddam Hussein during the first Iraq war? Notice, there was not much talk about Daddy Bush’s great Desert Storm victory at his funeral. They hardly even mentioned it. I’ve heard more about his young daughter dying than that war, which was the only ‘victory’ I can think of from his Presidency. 
That always bugged me. While the American people were kept in the dark about WHY Desert Storm was so vital, it was claimed that Hussein was a tyrant. Still, Daddy Bush did not go after the enemy. He stopped on his doorstep. It wasn’t until later that we learned about the “oil” factor.
So, why?
Dick Cheney, said this:
I would guess if we had gone in there, we would still have forces in Baghdad today. We’d be running the country. We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home.
And the final point that I think needs to be made is this question of casualties. I don’t think you could have done all of that without significant additional US casualties, and while everybody was tremendously impressed with the low cost of the (1991) conflict, for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families, it wasn’t a cheap war.
That seemed to be a big mistake, for years later, and trillions of dollars more spent, America is STILL there. In 2015 it was reported that 6,845 Americans have died in Iraq and Afghanistan and over 900,000 Americans were wounded.
What is it today I wonder?
There was another time in history that many Americans wondered WHY our leaders made the same decision.
At the end of WWII, when the Russians, Brits, and the United States were all heading towards Berlin to take out Hitler, the United States stepped back, and let the Russians do it.
Eisenhower made that decision…and he made it as he saw it, in the best interests of the American people.
What many people don’t know, is that Eisenhower, throughout the war, had to butt heads daily with Churchill and his big dog general, Montgomery.
Montgomery wanted the glory of having the British take Berlin. He really had a big ego. But Eisenhower knew that the Russians were already in mass and surrounding the city, and for the Americans to run into the Russians on any kind of borderline he feared would lead to WWIII. Like Cheney, he didn’t want to risk any more American lives lost for a city he did not consider a military target. There were other more important German cities to get to first, like the nuclear development sites. 
Once again, Eisenhower made the right decision as history has shown.
Besides, by the time the Germans were surrendering, and Eisenhower KNEW that the few men that he had left, had to be sent over to the Pacific to fight the war with Japan.
Eisenhower had to choose. Save Europe for England. Or save America.
History shows that Churchill was also right, but England didn’t have the manpower either to defend all of Europe
Russia took over a lot of territory— including Germany and the formation of the Berlin Wall.
It took years, and President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher to issue the “Tear Down this Wall.” command.
And speaking of walls, this has nothing to do with the wall that President Trump wants to build on our border.
Unlike the Berlin Wall, nobody will be ‘shot’ if they want to leave America.
So, While President Trump is being criticized for leaving the Muslim Wars, while also trying to stay friends with Russia, he is thinking very much like General Eisenhower. Eisenhower knew that post Europe, was not our problem. Trump thinks the same way. Sure, there will be repercussions when America leaves the Middle East, but what’s more important is keeping America strong. Europe must learn to solve its own problems.
Also, Eisenhower bent over backwards not to offend, in any way, the Russians.
After all, without the Russians helping, Germany would NEVER have been defeated, and that’s a fact.
Eisenhower made the choice: Europe or America? He chose America.
And that’s why, he made such a great President himself. 
President Trump has more in common with President Eisenhower than he knows. He would have made a great general.
And in this historical moment in our history, where the biggest enemies are in our own government, it’s good to know we have such a man at the top, who really knows what he’s doing.
And that’s my Nobody’s Opinion.
And by the way, that wasn’t the only time Eisenhower saved us. He went to the White House during the Cuban missile Crisis and told Jack Kennedy how to deal with the Russians.
(Read, the National Bestseller: Eisenhower at War 1943-1945 by David Eisenhower.)
Great book.
Dick Morris is Right About Syria
Nobody Wins
The Washington RINOs are really upset about President Trump getting out of Syria. Ted Cruz supporter Mark Levine can’t get over it.
Most Trump supporters were wondering WHY he fired the man he so loved, General Mattis, who was by all accounts, even according to him when he hired him, the next Patton.
And so he might have been. But the President wanted to get out of Syria, and the General didn’t.
The main complaint about leaving Syria, from the Generals and the Global warriors, is leaving the Kurds all alone. The established NEOCONS that have been put in place since Bushes “SHOCK AND AWE” all think that the American war machine needs to stay over in the middle East….forever.
Mainly they give the reasons that “We must fight them over there, to protect ourselves here.” And “We are abandoning our allies.”
This Nobody agrees with Dick Morris. It doesn’t matter HOW long you stay in the Middle East, there are BILLIONS of men who will fight for Islam, forever more. Why keep spending trillions, of our money, and our blood,and getting nothing for it?
Everybody goes by their own ‘selfish’ reasons, and when there is no war, generals and big government contractors lose a lot. 
I was listening to the ‘Bushes’ main Pentagon General spokesman on Fox the other night, (Keane) and after he got through trashing President Trump for leaving Syria, he then said…that we must STAY and build schools, and roads, and infrastructure…that’s the REAL job we must finish.
WHAT?
And the American nobody asks…”Why?”
Eisenhower warned us all about the military industrial complex. Keeping thousands of generals, and administrators, and a huge bureaucracy in all corners of the world, is draining us dry. It was the downfall of the Roman Empire and it will be the downfall of the United States if it’s not stopped.
So, while we may admire these Generals for their service, and never doubt them for their patriotism, we must remember, they look at it as a ‘forever’ job, and they don’t want to disappoint that foreign soldier than helped fight…or the lives that were lost to be meaningless.
They never mentioned that soldiers got paid with U.S. taxpayer dollars.
Once again, President Trump is thinking of America and the people. And Generals coming out trashing our President in public?
Sorry men. He’s YOUR Commander-in-Chief.
What Mattis did was cowardly.
What General Crystal did was despicable.
THEY were not elected to rule the world.
And once again…too much power at the top in too many branches of our government not obeying our Constitution.
General Eisenhower, I truly think, would have sided with President Trump. Tomorrow, I’ll explain why.
He WAS a great General, and a great leader.
They just don’t make them like they used to.
Nobody’s Perfect: Lord Hillary Romney
Nobody’s Perfect
This week the Nobody’s Perfect Award goes to Lord Mitt Romney.
Or should I say Lord Hillary Romney. Let’s just put a blond wig on him and push him in a Limo.
We ALL knew Romney was going to go on the Trump attack train, by the fact that he just couldn’t stand Donald Trump getting the job he felt he deserved by elite default.
Lord Romney is so much like Queen Hillary in his revenge, it’s amazing.
Personally, I think Elizabeth Warren getting into the President race by drinking a beer lowered the bar for Mitt so much, Mitt thought the timing would be perfect for him to come out and start HIS campaign for 2020. Drinking a beer to show your Presidential material I guess was ‘Presidential’ to Mitt, because he didn’t make any comments about Warren.
Mitt started his Trump attack before he even took his seat in the Senate. While everyone else was trying to sober up from watching Anderson Cooper talk about his mother’s sex life on TV: He made this statement: 
“I do not intend to comment on every tweet or fault. But I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions,” he wrote. “To reassume our leadership in world politics, we must repair failings in our politics at home. That project begins, of course, with the highest office once again acting to inspire and unite us. On balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions this month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office,” the 2012 Republican presidential nominee wrote.
(So, are you running in 2020 Mitt? Do YOU think you could inspire the lowly 49 percent that you think is meaningless to get out the vote for you?)
“With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable. And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring,”
(Hey, how would you like it if somebody held up your bloody head on TV?”)
Well, good thing we know where Lord Mitt Mighty Mouse stands…
This Nobody Wonders what kind of money was he making in the Middle East that he no longer will be making now that President Trump has decided not to keep protecting the world? 
Why do I say it’s about the money?
Because Mitt, is about the money and power. So are the Bushes. These middle Eastern Wars, and the borderless world of Globalism was ALL about the money.
The main thing I remember about Mitt, is watching him give a talk at some business seminar and he was telling the students, “Don’t invest your OWN money, don’t be stupid. You can get the government’s money to invest for you, and you won’t have to pay a dime!”
Yep. What has Mitt built? Do you see a Romney tower anywhere in the world?
Me neither.
There’s something else that Mitt has in common with Hillary. She wanted to be President, so she bought a home in New York, so she could become Senator FIRST. Her only competition it seems, couldn’t fly a plane.
Carpetbagger. 
Mitt wants to be President, so he moved to Utah so that he could become Senator and THEN like Hillary, run for President.
Neither one of them could care less about New York or Utah.
Is this going to hurt the Republican’s chances for raising money? You bet your sweet potato it is.
Right now, I’m so sick of getting email solicitations from the Republican party, I want to print them all out and throw them over the border. The RINO’s have stopped Trump whenever they could. Mitt’s former VP’ Ryan especially.
Mitt starting a big fight with the President right now undermines not only the President, but the President’s job to make us all safe in the world.
When BOTH top leaders of our parties are attacking our President daily, the Russians and the Chinese are the winners.
America… is the loser.
Besides, Mitt gave us Obamacare. Obama just stole it.
Why did Mitt wait so long to attack Trump? After he let Trump help get him elected?
Because he’s a Lord of the putz. But, he did manage to get his niece elected to the head of the GOP Republican party.
(Was this also a set-up for his future run? Sure it was. )
McDaniel, his niece said this: 
“POTUS is attacked and obstructed by the MSM media and Democrats 24/7,” McDaniel wrote on Twitter. “For an incoming Republican freshman senator to attack @realDonaldTrump as their first act feeds into what the Democrats and media want and is disappointing and unproductive.”
Maybe Mitt thinks he can really run in 2020 and bring back the RINO/Bush/Global cartel—no doubt the people running this global cartel are in the background telling him he can win, because the President is such a…lowly beast of a man.
But it really doesn’t matter if he runs or not. It’s all about: just getting Trump out of the office. To the RINO”s even a democrat president would be preferred.
Because then, it would be back to business as usual for all of them.
Poor Mitt. Like Hillary, he’s just another sore loser.
And on that note, this Nobody says:
Lord Romney, you win, the Nobody’s Perfect Award for the week.
Let me know where to send the cookies.
You’re going to need them.
2018: Year of the Great Infestation of Political Roaches
Nobody’s Opinion
Build a wall. Bring back the Troops. Protect our borders. Work hard for the American people. Put some money back in their pockets. Get them jobs.
These actions are now, in 2019, considered treasonous acts by most everyone that is getting paid in our government at the highest levels, BUT our beloved President.
Who knew that being a great President, would be considered a treasonous action?
Well it is now. Who knew the world we live in would be turned upside down?
But it has been.
Every former Obama administration scumbag went on verbal rampages during the last month of December 2018. Most of us just turned it off and enjoyed Christmas. But, on this first day of January, as I write this, they want us all to think it’s no use: President Trump WILL be impeached. He WILL be punished.
He WILL be proven to be the most horrible man to ever walk the planet. He has committed treason. Although not ONE of them can tell you what treasonous act he has committed.
They just keep repeating it.
We are being bombarded EVERYWHERE with bloated overpaid, egotistical criminal oligarchs telling us that THEY are the ones who respect the ‘rule of law’. The President should be, as the very fat, very ugly, and very JEALOUS Michael Moore likes to say, “Should be in an orange jump suit.”
Yes, it’s horrible to hear every single day, a man who is doing his best to try to save what’s left of the ‘good’ America from being further destroyed by this band of Anti-American destroyers.
But…here’s the good news: President Trump has singlehandedly, not only had a lot of success in this massive ocean of hatred, he has done something no other President has ever done before:
He has exposed the vast garbage that infest every arm of our government. Nobody knew the extent of the corruption, but it’s been shocking and overwhelming to even contemplate.
I like to compare it to something else that happened to me last year.
It was almost November 2017, when I was having trouble opening our back patio door. The handle wouldn’t shut. The cold air coming into the house was freezing the living room, and since you all know I have parakeets, that’s not a good thing. Parakeets need warmth. Heck, I need warmth.
My husband tried to fix it, so he went to take the handle off, and somehow, by sheer accident he cracked the whole panel of glass into little tiny pieces.
Because it’s the only way into our back yard which is fenced in, and our dog goes out that patio door about 3,498 times a day. It was NOT a good day.
Somehow, after taking bids from about 12 contractors, we decided on the only one we could afford. By the way, Sears was the highest bidder at $12,000. (The old door was from Sears.)
Clearly, they had a plan for us nobodies to save their stores from bankruptcy.
So, in December of last year, on a day that got into the fifties, the men came out…they were late. It was 5 o’clock at night, but they were determined to put in the door.
Picture this: It’s five o’clock, in the middle of winter, it’s dark, it’s getting cold, and as the big patio sliding door was removed, they took the frame out, and as I looked down, we ALL watched swarms of thousands of bugs scurrying everywhere, where the patio door had been sitting.
Everybody screamed “TERMITES!” .
Good god. Termites. The very foundation of the house had been infested.
Who knew?
By the way, I recently watched a lady who wrote a book on termites on C-Span. She went all over the world and researched their habits with the top scientists in the world, and when she was done, she wondered why her back door kept getting stuck.
Yes, even SHE didn’t know, after all that time studying termites all over the world, that her house was infested with termites. All she had to do is knock down her own walls.
Those sneaky little buggers.
Why even TELL this story? Because what has happened since Donald Trump became President is exactly what happened to my house.
President Trump, the expert contractor and builder of fine buildings, has exposed the ROTTEN foundation on which our country has been running. He lifted up the windows, and what we have seen is the biggest infestation of disgusting political termites run like the creepy little roaches they are.
Yes, termites ARE roaches.
These termites of greed, and corruption have infested every branch of our nation.
Now, there is hope. We got an exterminator to come over to the house, and he told us they were actually carpenter ants, who by the way, did a fine job of eating our wooden frames. He gave us some potent spray, and we killed those suckers dead.
Which means the foundations of America are still there too. The house, is just infested.
Okay. I know we can’t kill those political suckers dead who have infested our institutions, our airwaves, our very foundations of our republic, but the good new is
AT LEAST WE KNOW THEY ARE THERE!
Who knows how many more years America would have suffered if Donald Trump, the great exterminator of political corruption would not have come along?
So, figuring out the problem is step one.
In 2019, we now must figure out how to help President Trump make our foundation strong again.
Roaches to the left of me, Roaches to the right, here we are, stuck in the middle.
So, I try to remember that when I hear all those nasty remarks from all the roaches of corruption which have been exposed:
At least NOW…we know who the enemy is.
Step one: expose them. Step two: Bring on the spray. Smash them like the bugs they are with the light of truth, repeated every single day.
Where’s my can of roach spray?
In 2019, the American people need to attack those creepy roaches with all the fervor of a homeowner protecting the foundation of their house.
I plan to do my little nobody part.
After all, America is the last home we have on the planet.
They all…must go.

My Most Wonderful Christmas Treat
Nobody Flashes
Okay. I know this first sentence, according to all the “How to write.” courses given in every classroom in the world is supposed to set up the subject that you will read ahead, but guess what?
Tough!
I’m not in the mood to be boring. I don’t even want to work that hard today. I drive myself crazy enough. Okay? Okay.
Instead, I want to randomly tell you about most favorite Christmas present this year. One that I have already gotten.
Remember I told you that my beloved dog Koko died not long ago? Well….
First: I have to explain what Koko did to set this up:
Before we got Zippy, that’s our other dog, Koko’s first companion was a shih tzu named Nikki. Koko, being the pup at the time, would forever pick on poor Nikki. Every time we’d see Koko pick on poor Nikki we’d say to her:
“Someday, Karma is going to get you back Koko. Just you wait!” Basically, she bullied the sweet-natured Nikki every chanced she got.
After Nikki passed away, the biggest surprise (next to the continuous election of Nancy Pelosi), came upon us. Koko went into a deep depression.
How could this be?
There wasn’t a day that went by where Koko didn’t pick on Nikki. We thought she HATED her, like real siblings. Like I’ve hated my older brother when we were kids— every time he jumped on top of me, sat on me, pinned my arms down helplessly and lightly slapped my face all the time laughing…..
You know that sort of bullying. The harm done is mostly…annoying.
After three weeks, I couldn’t take it any longer.
“We’ve got to get another dog for her.” I told my husband.
So, out we went out one day, Koko in tow, to different animal shelters. We would pick a dog, walk them both around the outside of the kennels, to see if Koko got along with any of them. But it didn’t matter. Nope. She could have cared less.
We came home, still worried about her. She was STILL sad. Clearly, this wasn’t going to work.
“I know!” I said in one of my rare eureka moments…” We’ll get a puppy and tell her she’s the mama!”
Humans can be so stupid. Like the inventor of the “unisex bathrooms” I thought I was onto something.
Here’s where GOD, or synchronicity takes over. My husband has always wanted an American Eskimo. Don’t ask me why. It came to him while we were driving around looking for a pet store to buy Koko a puppy.
“I’ve always wanted an American Eskimo.” he said…making a right turn onto one of the many thousands of glutton streets of fast food lanes in the nation.
“Really? You’ve never told me that.” I said. A conversation that never came up in any moment of sex.
Who knew?
And guess what? The very FIRST pet store we went to in a mall, there were TWO small American Eskimo puppies. Brother and sister.
“Okay, but we are NOT spending more than $300.” I told my husband. I’m the keeper of the financial gate, and I was adamantly FIRM about this. “Okay. That’s the boundary. No more than $300.”
The two puppies were brought out, and there I was, watching my husband lie on the floor with these two adorable little white fluffs, and ONE of them wanted to play, with him. The ‘sister.” And then, she would turn around and pick on her smaller brother.
I should have seen the future in that moment. But no, all I could see was the happiness on my husband’s’ face.
You know where this is going. I stood at the register, and not only paid $500 for the pup, but food, a collar, shots, and probably a year’s subscription to puppy training at the puppy gym on Rodeo drive, and a trip to Paris for fashion puppy pictures.
The proud papa walked out of the mall, a star. Everyone wanted to pet the adorable puppy.
When we got home, I started in on KOKO.
“KOKO! You’re a mama! Oh…look how cute your baby is!” I said.
Koko had never seen a ‘puppy’ before. (That’s what I told myself) but clearly, she remembered HER mama, because she really did start acting like a mama. She would use her nose to make a wonderful bed for her ‘pup’. She would constantly bark at that little pup. And play with her, and then…she did the one thing that most mammas will do: She started hiding away her food.
At first, I thought it was to be able to be a good mama. You know, starve herself so that she made sure she had forever a stack of food for her child.
But, Zippy never lacked for food. In fact, she would eat EVERYTHING in sight. Put it in front of her, and she ate it up like a small vacuum with feet. 
Once we left her at a kennel while we went on a trip to Vegas and when we got back, they said she ate all the other’s dog’s food too, and wanted more money for their loss.
Another thing: The reason I thought this was why KoKo was hoarding food like a squirrel was because I remembered my mother, when we were young, would cook a chicken and eat the gizzards.
“Mom! There’s no chicken left for you!” I would say when I was a kid.
“I LIKE the gizzards” she would say.
Yes—mom sacrificed for us. She made sure her family ate first. Dad, and my brother and I ate the chicken dinner, my mother ate the gizzards. It’s a wonder she didn’t die of gizzard cancer.
No, she didn’t ‘hide’ the chicken, but just the same. She was being a good mother. Was Koko storing food for her and her baby’s future?I’ve often thought about this when I see the STARVING babies in Africa and the mothers look plump, but that’s another blog.
When Zippy came into our lives, that’s when Koko started stashing food. I’d give Zippy a dog treat, and she’d devour it, right then and there. Koko, would gently take it in her mouth, and off she would trot.
Looking for a place to hide it. It was as if she was on the most important mission in the world. A mission…to find the most hidden hiding place she could.
And boy did she hide food. Under the couch, IN the couch, in back of lamps, in corners, under rugs…
For the rest of her life, Koko did this. I never saw her eat a treat, only food from the table. I would be cleaning the house and I would find, sometimes over 50 treats all gathered behind some lamp. If Koko was a human stashing money, she’s have been as rich as Bill Gates.
Most of the time, I would throw away half of those treats, so as not to attract bugs…but I could not find it in myself to deprive her of her bounty.
People would come over and I would have to say, “Just ignore that. That’s Koko’s stash.” We won’t go into sanitary conditions right now…I happened to love my dog. Enough.
Anyway, I never, ever, ever saw Zippy hide a treat. Ever. What we did see is that Instant Karma is real.
Zippy grew up and took over Koko. As Koko aged, I figured she now hid the food for herself, being as Zippy was, the ultimate diva.
Nevertheless, She was the Warren Buffet of food supply. If a disaster hit, and the house fell upon us all, we could reach out with our arms and find a milk bone, within arm’s reach, thanks to Koko.
Then Koko passed away. I started cleaning all the rooms, Finding the treats and putting them in the trash. I had them all cleaned up, …as far as I knew I had gotten every single treat ever hidden. We are talking hundreds.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting:
About a week after KoKo passed on, I bought some brand new tennis shoes. They were lying right near the place where I get dressed every morning, and low an behold, one morning, right in plain sight, placed inside in one of the shoes…
Was one of Koko’s dog treats.
I KNOW Zippy didn’t put it there. I also know I didn’t put it there.
I thought…” Is this a present from my darling Koko?
Come, on….She’s dead. How COULD she do this, I said to myself.
I forgot about it, tossed out the treat and went on my way.
Then two days later, my husband, who keeps HIS tennis shoes downstairs in the basement, came upstairs and said—
“Guess what? The strangest thing…I found one of Koko’s dog treats in my shoe this morning.”
I had NOT told him about what I had found a week earlier. So, he didn’t know.
One treat, you could say maybe Zippy did it. But Zippy never hid a treat in her ten-year-old life.
And Koko, NEVER put a treat in any of our shoes before.
You tell me.
Was that a present from my sweet departed Koko? Telling us how much she loved us? That she was still around.
Call me a fool, but THIS is the way God shows his face.
There are forces out there, that make us think that souls, even dog souls, maybe do exist pass the body, and I’m here to tell you that for whatever reason, I believe that was my Koko’s way of telling us she loved us.
KoKo was the best mama Zippy could have ever had, and most precious companion to me.
She helped me through many a night while I was caring for my bed ridden mother.
She was one of a kind, and I never saw another dog even look like her.
Yes, Koko left us both a love treat.
A treat forever etched in my heart.
I’m going to start hiding my chocolate…no wait. Just kidding.
What I really want to say is: Only a dog or a pet can stay with you for years, and be the one in your life that will teach you how to love…endlessly.
I’ve never trusted anyone who doesn’t like dogs. They are simply God’s gift to man. (And women, and kids, and let’s even put transsexuals in this too.)
There is no ending to this. Only….this Christmas I’m putting back some of her treats in her favorite hiding places.
I want HER to know, we too, are still here…to love. And we will miss her until we die.
And Koko, if you are reading this….Zippy misses you too. Trust me. The food bowl is just not the same.
Nobody Flashes
Sooner or later, they ALL do a Christmas album.
And yes, I’m just as busy as everyone else, but LAST night, for the first time in my neighborhood, there was a crowd of about 100 young men and women walking around the block singing Christmas carols.
In THIS neighborhood, it was nothing short of a Christmas miracle. Everyone put up lights this year, and THAT has never happened either.
President Trump…made the difference. Nuff said.
Anyway…Wow. Enjoy.
Nobody FLashes: Enemy No. One: Isis, China, or Our Own Congress?
Nobody Flashes.
The democrats are famous for finding the right phrase, and making sure everybody repeats it a thousand times over. Like…”They are against a ‘woman’s right to choose.” And “Donald Trump is a liar”, or “President Trump is separating children from their parents!”
But, if there is ONE phrase that the republicans have at the very TOP of their list its, “We must fight them over there, so that we don’t have to fight them over here.”
And then they let millions of them COME over here, which makes their mantra really stupid.
You can plan an attack just as easily from a Mosque in New York as a Mosque in Iraq, and 9/11 proved they did just that.
President Bush, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio…and all the other “hawks” that are upset about the President withdrawing our troops from the wars in the Middle East are besides themselves, when clearly, next to the treasonous politicians within our government, it’s China who is the biggest threat.
Trump is right. It’s time the other countries of the world start fighting their own wars.
In the meantime, Dick forgot to mention that in America, WE TOO, are being judged and watched by Big Tech, and the deep state, who are working together.
To think that they are not watching us all, and putting us all into little boxes to watch, is laughable.

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
