Cold reality

Light snow is falling as I scribble these words.  The chill reminder that winter is upon us rebukes my exuberant rant on the extended beautiful fall weather we have been experiencing.  Temperatures are supposed to warm as we make our way to the Thanksgiving holiday, but the warning shot has been fired.  Meanwhile in the political world, it looks like The Donald may have finally gone to far when he continued to insist his revisionist history of thousands cheering in Jersey City as the Twin Towers collapsed on 9/11.   Despite no video evidence to back his rant and increasing demands from the media for a "put up or shut up" moment, Trump is doubling down.  In the face of mounting evidence he is totally wrong, will his support finally begin to crumble?   His entire campaign has been an exercise in bombast and fact free expostulations, but I think even he has finally gone to far.  Seduced by the siren  call of his voice and its effect on mass audiences he has actually begun to believe the crap he spews.   When the con man believes his own spiel, the show has come to an end.
