Let's see if I understand all of what is going on.

Nationally, infrastructure is old and needs replacing. Like the WPA of the 1930s this could put millions back to work and instill pride, and coin in their pockets. A Michigan town, I believe it was, got flooded by at least 9 FEET of water when an aging dam broke, after years of age-warnings and no action.

A world-wide pandemic is across our country, that we have not seen in 100 years. No known cure yet, and no national pandemic office at the federal level and we know who to thank for that.

In a roughly two month period, at least three and probably more nationally-known murders of young black people have occurred at hands of our police depts, who are supposed to know better. Surely something should have been learned since the days of Rodney King and can't we all just get along? Apparently no real change in dept. arrest policies and procedures.

Meanwhile, over 30 cities are aflame and no end in sight. Shootings, death, destruction, fires, mayhem, national guard, and our president's response is if there's looting, there will be shooting. He even lied about the presence of the Wash. P.D. in front of his WH last night, saying they weren't involved when they were indeed present.

Our president's response to all of the above has been to: travel around the country un-masked, setting what I believe to be a horrible example; move to de-fund the W.H.O. during a world-wide pandemic for which no cure has yet been discovered; and tweet that looters will be shot; and cut an executive order to stifle free speech.

Next month he will be bragging about having solved all of this by himself. He has to, since he won't listen to any advisors.

 Man is a national disgrace, pure and simple.
