Remember when you were a kid and your favorite television program ended for the day? That unutterable grief knowing you'd have to wait a whole twenty-four hours to see it again...and time goes so slowly when you're a child.

That's how I feel every time a Trump/Save America/MAGA-A-A rally ends. Profound grief. Then I turn to my husband, Michael, and say, "Well, that brief respite in Sanity and Reality is over. Back to the Insane Asylum!"

Isn't that exactly how it feels!?! All day, every day we roll our eyes, shake our heads and mutter, "What the...!?!" as one bizarre MSM eadline after another rolls off the presses and wonder what batshit crazy "reality" the Democrats and RINOs are trying to create with their words, provocateurs and paid actors.

Cause it bears no resemblance to true reality and the evidence of our own eyes and ears at rally after rally after rally.

The latest WTF moment came today when The DailyMail reported on a "secret call" with 36 of President Trump and Pence's former officials last Monday, January 10th. My favorite line was the following: "Former national security adviser John Bolton was not on the call, but his top aide Sarah Tinsley joined to share new polling from Bolton's super PAC finding that Trump's hold over the party was waning."

Waning, huh!?! Tell that to the as-far-as-the-eye-could-see crowd in Florence, Arizona last Saturday who waited patiently in a twenty-five mile line to get into the venue. Everyone said it was unlike any other Trump Rally and they've attended all of them.

Even CNN poked fun at the 36 Pathetic RINOs saying, "The only items the group seemed to agree upon in its first meeting, however, were that they're not sure what their way forward should be, and that they are way behind the efforts of former President Donald Trump and his allies to set the stage for 2022, 2024, and beyond." Finally! Something CNN and I agree on!

What alternative reality are these 36 duds trying to create?? What are they smoking? It's gotta be some good shit because otherwise, well, they're just batshit crazy and I'm leaning toward the latter.

So who were the fine public servants on this "secret" call, stabbing their former boss in the back? Only a few of the reported "three dozen" have been revealed and they're the usual suspects:

• Alyssa Farah Griffin
• Anthony Scaramucci
• Gen. John Kelly (ret.)
• Miles Taylor (leader)
• Olivia Troye (worked for Pence)
• Elizabeth Neumann
• Chris Krebs
• Sarah Tinsley
• Stephanie Grisham (involved; missed the call...sick with 'rona)

Basically, it's a last ditch attempt by the sacked, the bitter and the RINOs to reclaim the control they've finally realized they've lost. They want us to return to the status quo that existed all our lives: With clenched teeth you vote for Republicans, knowing they're really Democrats in disguise and will stab you in the back as soon as they take office. It always reminds me of this scene from A Star Is Born.

How do I know the callees are RINOs? This quote: "We are very concerned about the ongoing trends we are seeing by some ofthe more extremists following in Trump’s rhetoric and footsteps."

Huh, what "extremism" would that be? Love of country? Freedom from masks and jabs? Not killing babies? Plenty of jobs and commerce? Following immigration law?

Oh, the horror. How will we survive such dreadful extremism? Quick! My smelling salts!

It's rather pathetic, isn't it? The RINOs have just realized they're well and truly and totally "Let's Go Brandoned" and just now getting organized. Uh, you left it kinda' late. You ain't stopping this Red Wave, Sweethearts.

How frustrating it must be to be on the wrong side of history. That's why Democrats and RINOs are so cranky! They see millions upon millions of Patriots having a high ol' time together and they're the sourpuss wallflowers, wishing they could pull that stick outta their ass and join the party but they can't. It's stuck...along with all that lovely money of whoever is paying them to attempt, futilely, to destroy a beautiful thing.

Their political shenanigans are as old as the hills. In Frank Capra's (bless him!) 1941 movie Meet John Doe, the "John Doe Movement" in the movie is practically identical to the MAGA movement today. Of course, a bunch of rich businessmen try to profit from it, and when Gary Cooper as the face of John Doe objects, they threaten to smash him and the movement entirely.

Here's his brilliant response: "Why, your type's old as history. If you can't lay your dirty fingers on a decent idea and twist it and squeeze it and stuff it into your own pocket, you slap it down! Like dogs, if you can't eat something, you bury it!"

I do believe he was talking about the "secret" 36 RINOs too.

If no one believes them, they're toast. Just bitter has-beens howling into a vacuum, trying to convince themselves  and only themselves, of what they know in their souls isn't true.

That's why they use so many words. Liars always do. They have to talk a lot because their words ring hollow for themselves. People who tell the truth are succinct and sparing with their words, like Donald Trump.

The 36 RINOs remind me of another great quote from Sergeant York starring Gary Cooper: "Did you ever think when you start plowing your furrows crooked, it's mighty hard to get 'em straight again?"

They plowed their furrows crooked and so political fame and power have passed them by. Instead of humility and repentance, they're doubling down. It's very sad really. Sad and utterly pathetic.
