Today’s JG rant
It was disappointing to see Democrats across America spend their MLK day calling PDJT and his supporters – 63,000,000 voting Americans - racists instead of lifting Americans up, as King did, with hope.

It was odd to see so many from the Democrat Party
that spawned the Confederacy, KKK, anti-reconstruction, segregation, Jim Crow, opposition
to civil rights, race baiting anti-Semite “religious” leaders Farrakhan, Wright,
Jackson and Sharpton pointing to the speck in MAGA supporters’ eye while
ignoring the log in their own.
Round two
Lex is looking forward to receiving his second of possibly 16 chemo infusions today. I say “looking forward” – not because it’s going to be a good day or week, it’s not – but rather because it is the required path to a longer healthier life. If I get all 16 infusions, it’ll mean the treatment is working. It’s like the famous quote from a Marine fighting in Vietnam to free Hue City from the Communist bastards – “We had to destroy the city to save it.”

So the DR.s infuse this rather indiscriminate poison into the body in an effort to kill the cancer cells. Sometimes it works, but in the process it also kills all kind of other good cells and upsets the body’s equilibrium in uncomfortable (fatigue) and frankly disgusting ways (most commonly foul diarrhea, nausea and vomiting).
So I’m actually looking forward to getting my
azz kicked every other week for the next 7 months. I’ll be like the sole member of former heavy weight
champ Joe Louis’ bum of the month club back in his heyday for the next 7 months.
I’ll be like the Washington, General’s playing the Harlem Globe Trotters every
night for the next 7 months. But even Joe’s bums and the Generals’ players
received a payday at the end of the contest. I’ll go through this for the pay
off.
I managed to tolerate the first round reasonably
well and am just about back to my pre-infusion state just in time to start the
next round and the whole cycle over again.
Oh joy! The unknown is that the
chemo apparently builds in the body until the 4th infusion when it
levels off. So my reaction to every
infusion to that point is going to be kind of a wild card.
