Tuesday, January 22, 2019 The American media’s despicable crucifixion of the Covington kids so enraged me that I dug out my unused MAGA hat (which I bought last summer at a souvenir shop in Lower Manhattan) and defiantly wore it … Continue reading →

Wednesday, January 23, 2019 On my way to work, decided to take a detour and head up to Trump Tower to buy another MAGA hat. Red isn’t my color and the hat makes me look like Elmer Fudd, although I … Continue reading →

Thursday, January 24, 2019 Wore my new blue MAGA hat on the bus to the ferry, and then on the ferry to Manhattan. No incidents. I’ve realized that the color of the MAGA hat I wear probably influences people’s reactions. … Continue reading →

Friday, January 25, 2019 Am heading into Manhattan on the Staten Island ferry. My moxie level is a bit low today because of a lingering sinus infection, so am wearing my blue MAGA hat instead of the apparently incendiary red … Continue reading →

Saturday, January 26, 2019 It is COLD in New York today. 27 degrees. I can imagine some Northerners scoffing but I’m from the South. 27 degrees is like the North Pole to Southerners. On a day like this I would … Continue reading →

Sunday, January 27, 2019 A balmy 47 degrees today. Am heading into Manhattan to attend a lecture at the Fraunces Tavern Museum on eighteenth-century cookery presented by the culinary historian and cook, Lavada Nahon. No one on the ferry seemed … Continue reading →

Monday, January 28, 2019 25 degrees this morning. They’re calling for highs in the teens later this week. When, oh when, is this global warming going to end? Am wearing my red MAGA hat today (the one I bought last … Continue reading →

Tuesday, January 29, 2019 As usual, took the Staten Island ferry to Manhattan this morning, then the R train into Brooklyn, then the bus to Red Hook. I encountered some rude stares, which I pointedly ignored. I am aware, of … Continue reading →

Wednesday, January 30, 2019 28 degrees today, with a predicted low of 4 degrees tonight. Pondered at length whether to wear my blue MAGA hat or my incredibly warm shearling hat. It’s not terribly cold at the moment, but it’s … Continue reading →

Thursday, January 31, 2019 The “global warming” continues to wreak havoc with my MAGA hat activities. It is 8 degrees this morning as I head to work, with a high of 17 predicted.  Am definitely wearing my warm shearling Cabela’s … Continue reading →

Friday, February 1, 2019 Jussie “Tawana Brawley” Smollett. Ever hear of him? Me neither. Insignificant, unknown actor who hates Trump and needs a career boost = Hoax.   Hoax. Hoax. Hoax. End of story. Leftwing extremists orchestrate hoaxes all the time. … Continue reading →

Saturday, February 2, 2019 Not so cold today, near 30, so I leave the shearling hat at home and wear my red MAGA hat as I head into Manhattan to run some errands. On the 4 train heading to the … Continue reading →

Sunday, February 3, 2019 Am wearing my blue MAGA hat while heading to midtown to visit the main branch of the New York Public Library to do some research. Beautiful sunny day, temps in the mid-30s. The weather seems to … Continue reading →

Monday, February 4, 2019 An uneventful day, as Mondays often are. I head directly to work, wearing my blue MAGA hat. From the Staten Island ferry I decide to alter my routine and hike over to Pier 11 to catch … Continue reading →

Tuesday, February 5, 2019 A gorgeous day today, highs in the low 60s! The idea of a beach outing is so seductive I can hardly stand it. Few things are as restorative and healthy as taking a long walk by … Continue reading →

Wednesday, February 6, 2019 “America was founded on liberty and independence – not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”  … Continue reading →

Thursday, February 7, 2019 Wearing a MAGA hat has evolved into the “new normal” for me. The novelty has worn off; I’m trying to remember what it was like before I started wearing the hat. The angry stares are now … Continue reading →

Friday, Feb. 8 — Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2019 Not much to report for Days 18 through 23. Spent much of the weekend chillaxing, taking a break from blogging, attending to neglected quotidian tasks, and trying to snag some bargains at my … Continue reading →

Thursday, February 14, 2019 Happy Saint Valentine’s Day! I have a date with Elektra tonight . . . Richard Strauss’s Elektra, that is. This is the first performance of a new English-language translation by Abigail Dyer, who will also be … Continue reading →

Friday, February 15, 2019 While wearing my blue MAGA hat on the Staten Island ferry this morning, I’m preoccupied with a work document so don’t really pay attention to anyone. On the small ferry from Wall Street to Red Hook, … Continue reading →

Saturday, February 16, 2019 Today is a blue MAGA hat day, although it may turn into a red MAGA hat day later, depending on where I go. Am taking both with me when I go out. So, Trump signed the … Continue reading →

Sunday, February 17, 2019 Last night I was riding the F train in the vicinity of Park Sloppe, wearing my red MAGA hat, minding my own business, contently munching some delicious unsalted tortilla chips from Trader Joe’s. I glanced around … Continue reading →

Monday, February 18, 2019 Happy Birthday, George Washington! I know you were born on February 22nd but the country now unofficially celebrates “Presidents’ Day” on the third Monday of February to give federal “workers” a long holiday weekend. It’s a … Continue reading →

Tuesday, February 19, 2019 Today is a blue MAGA hat day, in honor of the deep blue hive mind of Park Slope Slop, home to some of the most condescending, supercilious, ignorant, brainwashed Marxists and Maoists ever to have lived. … Continue reading →

Wednesday, February 20, 2019 All over  the news today is the $250 million lawsuit filed against the Washington Compost for sliming the Covington kids. Yes! This on the heels of more revelations about the JussTawana hoax and the way the … Continue reading →

Thursday, February 21, 2019 I never realized just how many crazy people there are in New York City until I started wearing a MAGA hat. Like most New Yorkers, I’ve become inured to the dysfunctional and incompetent humans who are … Continue reading →

Friday, February 22, 2019 Hard to believe that JussTawana is still lying. Maybe he’s going to try to cop an insanity plea? I saw the press conference in Chicago yesterday. Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson seemed royally ticked off. If he … Continue reading →

Saturday, February 23, 2019 While wearing my blue MAGA hat hither and yon in Manhattan, walking miles and miles on thronged sidewalks in today’s beautiful weather, I’m wondering what’s happening with the $250 million lawsuit filed by Nicholas Sandmann’s lawyers … Continue reading →

Monday, February 25, 2019 How did we get to the point where a large percentage of the population of the United States is stark raving mad, where people melt down at the sight of a MAGA hat? I’m talking about … Continue reading →

Tuesday, February 26, 2019 I do realize that I’m putting myself at risk when I wear a MAGA hat, especially in a deep blue city like New York. The threat of violence—as well as actual violence—is the only way the … Continue reading →

Wednesday, February 27, 2019 Woke up this morning—my thirty-seventh continuous day of wearing a MAGA hat in public—still livid about the assault on an 81-year-old man in Somerset County, New Jersey simply because he was wearing a MAGA hat. I … Continue reading →

Thursday, February 28, 2019 Does anyone know of a good alternative to PayPal? As soon as I learned that they were even considering partnering with the vile hate group known as the “Southern Poverty Law Center” (SPLC), I immediately closed my … Continue reading →
