Thanks for Blowing Up My Dream, Mr. President

These pictures are taped to my RV kitchen cabinet.  The bottom scene, "My Kind of View," I painted (and sold) during a 2023 challenge at the Newport Visual Arts Center.  I included BC in the left corner.

The top picture I snagged when some online ad popped into my screen.  It's not very large, but it would be a palace to me:  solid walls; neither floating on the water or balanced on 6 tires; living on a piece of property which won't be ripped out from underneath me.  Maybe a yard for a dog.

But that continues to be a Pipe Dream, thanks to Donald J. Trump, who owns how many properties?  Why?  Because today he's suddenly decided NOT TO SIGN the bi-partisan housing bill:

"House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., both celebrated the passage of the housing package, which cleared both chambers with overwhelming bipartisan support, an unusual feat in the sharply divided Congress

"The measure aims to increase housing supply, make homes more affordable and cap the amount of single family homes private equity can purchase."  Of interest to me: expanding manufactured housing by unlocking more financing for factory-built homes and eliminates an outdated rule that required manufactured homes to be built on a steel chassis, cutting construction costs significantly.  Continuing,

"The two congressional Republican leaders announced that Trump would sign the bill in Statuary Hall on Wednesday at noon ET.

"But Trump downplayed the bill in a Truth Social post Wednesday morning, then followed up canceling its signing altogether, saying he won’t sign it until Congress approves the controversial election bill known as the SAVE America Act."

I love the way people who own or have owned houses can so easily say, "It's no big deal; It a headache; It's Always Something," as Gilda Radner would say.

But I'd like to find out for myself and at 70 I'm running out of time. The boat doesn't count (read about King Tut) so I'd be a First-Time-Homeowner, doesn't that help?  I always hope that something changes in the Rules so that maybe, just maybe, I can have one, too.  Live without the fear of being thrown off or out of someone else's property.  A little place like the picture below.  It's not too much to ask.  I don't mean simply GIVE it to me, but allow my piddly Social Security to afford a mortgage on something comparable to this.

Our President and many of you think it's more important to make sure people don't vote illegally; which, contrary to Conspiracy Theories, is NOT allowed in Certain Blue States.  Sure, some people are, for some reason, wanting to vote so badly that they'll cheat.  I happen to believe it's more likely that those people thought or assumed they could vote.

Is that the kind of crime you'd think of if you were determined to break the law?  "Think I'll try to vote."  Trump's truth on this is the same as the Reflecting Pool problem and drinking bleach to fight COVID (before that became a lie/conspiracy, too.)

So thanks to the Jerk and those who support him.
