While watching the news, it was déjà vu; here we go again.  But now it was a battle in the swaps.  Politicians were slinging mud through the press.  It would appear we were still in the presidential debates without the Donald.  The Affordable Care Act, better known as Obama Care, was the main topic.   Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer offered an apocalyptic picture of America with his new slogan. “Make America Sick Again,”  But wait!  It wasn’t without the Donald.  Like the Republicans on the other end of the swamp were creating an ugly spectacle brazenly trying to weaken the ethics committee’s powers, shielding themselves from future wrongdoings.  A tweet from the Donald and all becomes well, as they come to their senses.  President-elect Trump campaigned that he was going to drain the swamp, and here we are trying to fill it, said Walter Jones, Representative of North Carolina.

I came in on a scene where the Indians were on the warpath, and the wagons had circled.  Watching just long enough, figuring out the plot, I realized that it was a Western version of the now Washington swamp.  An Indian Agent had joined the train under false pretenses in an attempt to save his life.  The agent had taken the life of a Native American who had discovered he was diverting food and supplies for personal gain.  Feeling more depressed, in retrospect, I should have gone on Demand and searched for “Little House on the Prairie.
