I simply had to turn it off [View all]

Had MSNOW on the tv while puttering around, getting ready for errands -- grocery, library, pharmacy.

MSNOW came on with live feed from Oval Office where Trump is greeting a German official.

As expected, the questions were directed to Trump about the Iran War. And that was all he needed to launch into disconnected, rambling soliloquies that went nowhere.

When I got up to mute the sound the Oval Office decorations caught my eye.

I'm from SW Mississippi with deep family connections to Louisiana and the Cajun area between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. A distant relative was closely associated with several late 19th century New Orleans bordellos -- so much so that his mother-in-law after his wife's death -- came to NO, grabbed their children, and took them home with her to rural Mississippi.

We have a few old black and white photos from two of the fancy houses of which he was part owner.

Trump's Oval Office decorations are exact copies of the decor in an 1890's New Orleans whorehouse.
