Thoughts
Owls and why I relate to them:
These "Birds of Prey" love to sit quietly and still so they observe their surroundings and strike when needed.
Some say that the Owl has wisdom, even foresight, but they still are considered familiars of the witches. They are creatures of the night and early morning. Some consider them bad luck, and predictors of poor health and death. They are still considered the main harbingers of death and doom in Mexico, much of the South, and Latin America.
I hear and see them every evening at dusk, and early morning and have for years. I am, and always have been, an early morning person. Ok, sometimes I have started to put together a re-written version of the " The time has come". My version as it stands is poorly written and needs help.

| An Owl doing a bit of "soul searching" |
It is as follows:
THE TIME HAS COME, THE OWL SAID, TO SPEAK OF MANY THINGS: OF SHOES ---- OF SHIPS ----- AND OF SOCIALISTS--- AND KINGS.
OF WHY A REVOLT IS RISING--- AND WHETHER CONGRESSIONAL PIGS HAVE WINGS, AND FLY.
THEY DO, AND THE FAT LADY IS STARTING TO SING. WATCH OUT! AN OWL IS PASSING BY.

Update on the matter of the "Caravans" and "Immigrants":
We continue to be befuddled and confused about the difference between what is being reported by almost all sources of the American and other media sources as opposed to what this observer hears, sees, and experiences concerning the "immigrants" and the "caravans".
To begin, the entire "caravan" and "immigrant" thing is a sham. The operation is a co-ordinated effort by extremists representing pseudo - religious interests operating under all nature of Protestant, Catholic, and even supposedly evangelical flags.
Their objective has been frequently stated, repeatedly and they are all more or less dedicated to the same objectives…mainly more. If you sit at a bar with some of the upper-middle leaders of the "movement" and subject yourself to the tedious lecture, the operatives and overseers of the "immigrants" and "caravan" (they are neither) will blather up a scenario of how the United States came and took all the easy resources from the Central American entities….Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama'. Americans enslaved the oppressed masses and paid them next to nothing…and they established fascist and oppressive pro-American satraps to rule with the title of President when in fact they were dictators and corrupt.
Many starved and were abused, and very few lived in opulence. Of course, the United States built and operated the Panama' Canal…against all odds…a work that provided direct employment pay that was unheard of anywhere in Central America to that point. Of course, the Europeans were quick to point out that the Americans had stolen the Isthmus of Panama' from the owner, the Republic of Colombia, strictly for the purpose of enslaving the people of Colombia, and divesting that country of a lucrative fountain of resources for some future time.
These marxist minders of the "Caravana" movement had and have their explanations, histrionics, and propagandistic cant. The fact is, however, that they are actually dedicated to that which they have always been dedicated, that being the destruction of the United States of America. Their armaments are lies, drugs, violence, obtuse and demagogic reasoning, and the constant effort to drag down the United States and any other nation that remotely stands with the USA.
The Obama administration determined to go full bore on this process of destroying any and all vestiges of the Out-of-Date American construct and the preparation for a "Democratic Socialist Society and Government".During the Obama administration, scores of efforts were put into place and function that would undermine basic American values and positive outcomes. The "Fast and Furious" matter, the advising of Central Americans concerning how to arrive to the American Frontier and gain entry without any legitimate permitting or justification, to the incessant reliance on racial friction to roil the pot of witch's brew…such as in Ferguson, Missouri, etc.
We watched in McAllen how sullen people dragging two to ten year old children…in clusters of three to six or a little more…would board busses at the McAllen Bus Terminal with their tickets to Trenton, Nashville, Kansas City, and Denver…all of them with "provisional entry awaiting designated hearing date" and these numbers ballooned into the hundreds of thousands.
News leaked out that DNA tests were showing that over 40 per cent of the children were not related to the women dragging said children into Gringoland and flagging down Border Patrol personnel to "arrest and detain them". Many of the "unescorted" teenagers had gang tattoos representing the worst of the worst of the gangs in El Salvador and Honduras…they were given passes, once they established contact with other "family members" who were also living illegally in the United States. It was madness.
With the arrival of Trump to the Presidency, a bit more order was put into place, but the onslaught is continuing. Scores of thousands per month…scores of thousands…think of it! Pregnant 14 year-olds, numerous girls in the single digit age groups, all sullen…unimpressed with the crummy food they were being provided, and the crummy clothes they were having to take for free…(actually much of the clothing was new, stylish, and quite nice…even the used clothes were like hand-me-downs of a rich family). Never a mention of thanks (or at least very, very rarely)…and that air that if they were detained they would cause an event to occur that would be put into the media as proof that they were being brutalised.
The blathering hyperbole of the leftist press…of people like Pelosi, Biden, and Co. has been both repugnant and fascinating. The ploy of showing children in a dog cage and chained, to boot was a remarkable coup co-ordinated between the Democrats and the Obsolete Press…especially when one considers that the pictures of the children in the dog-cages came from the time of the Obama administration.
We noticed good old Joe Biden…the one who told a convention of Black Folks that they needed to be wary of Republicans because the GOP was just waiting for a chance to put all the Black Folks back in chains….Real class, Joe ,really stellar intellectual messaging.
But, he followed that up recently with "…the need to keep Trump from ripping children from their mothers' arms!!!" Real class, Joe, especially when one can almost bet that the "mothers" and the coyotes who will be managing these "migrants" once they complete their transfer to Cincinnati, or Oklahoma City, or Louisville, will be turning a large percentage of these girls to forced sexual performance. It is well known.
We shall pass along more to-morrow.
