THE DISAPPEARED: "Could it be Satan?" the Church Lady asked!

TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 2025

This may be a Night Which Was: With apologies, all in all, we've had a challenging day.

Briefly, let's be honest. It was a challenging first world day. 

People are struggling all over the world with much more serious challenges. That includes the people of Ukraine, who are, or so it would seem, currently being abandoned.

Today, we returned from our participation in ongoing medical science. Not too much later, our internet service went down.

When our Internet Service Provider goes down, you're never real sure it will ever come up. Once again, we'd call this as a first world problem. 

Elsewhere, as Lawrence O'Donnell described last night, children are starving around the globe because of the apparent mental illness of the fellow named [NAME WITHHELD].

Does anyone doubt that we the Americans may be caught in a web of some version or versions of mental illness ("mental disorder")? Granted, our "journalists" won't discuss this apparent state of affairs—but does anyone really think that this circumstance doesn't exist?

At this site, we've been rereading the 2020 bestseller by Mary L. Trump, PhD—a detailed and thoughtful book about the upbringing of her uncle, Donald J. Trump, and his four brothers and sisters.

We have said, again and again, that (severe) "mental illness/disorder" is, like serious physical illness, a tragic loss of human potential. We've been struck this week by the very sad story Mary Trump tells in her book.

(Pity the child, we've long suggested. Pity the child, even as you try to disarm the adult.)

That said, why did we ever go with "The Disappeared" as our tagline for this week? We were thinking of the disappeared clowns of the Fox News Channel, who our Blue elites have agreed to leave unreported and undiscussed. 

We were also thinking of the disappeared (possible) explanation for the sitting American president's ongoing assault on the world. He makes us flash on "The Boxer," we've said.

As of tomorrow, we expect to change our tag for the week to something derived from "The Week That Was." Yesterday, this is what the president said he plans to do tonight:

“TOMORROW NIGHT WILL BE BIG. I WILL TELL IT LIKE IT IS!”

Was that a promise or was that a threat? Needless to say, it arrived in nothing but capital letters. We advise you to pity the child.

As we noted yesterday. last Friday's Oval Office debacle was likely the start of a Week That Was. It had the look of the start of a week which might change the history of the modern world. 

Tonight, we'll see what the president says. As for us Blues, remember this:

In an array of deeply unfortunate ways, we worked hard to earn our way out.

Also, two key points: It's the greatest thing anyone has ever done in the realm of cable news. We refer to Lawrence O'Donnell's work with the good, decent kids of Malawi.

(Also, with their families.)

In our view, Lawrence has been extremely strong in the current unfortunate circumstance. Other children, children like those in Malawi, will be dying of starvation around the world.

Also this:

"Could it be Satan?" the Church Lady asked. Our answer, of course, is a no. In our view, the actual, unfortunate story seems far more tragic than that.

That said, we had planned to work with that framework today. We may revisit it by the end of the week. For today, the collapse of our ISP briefly hauled us down.
