Why on Earth am I So Hopeful?

It could be spring and the reappearance of leaves on bare trees and flowers blooming, but I think it’s really because I do not watch network news or read the New York Times, The Washington Report or The Drudge Report. I live in New York City, which has been christened pandemic ground zero, but I’m still alive even though I am at high risk of dying from Covid 19.

What I do watch on Sundays is Mass from my local parish’s Facebook page, and a recent homily by my parish priest was what stirred this feeling of hope. I can’t quite remember every word, but essentially he told the congregation that we will come back as a faith stronger than ever. I also believe that we will come back as a country stronger than ever, and what President Trump said some time ago was correct: The Best Is Yet to Come.

While some marriages are failing due to enforced quarantining, other family units have bonded tightly. More citizens have access to online sites that showcase opinions not readily available or censored in the mainstream media.

Anyone accessing that great entertainment news source, Breitbart, will probably lose all respect for many of their favorite actors and actresses. The comments from these anti-Trump celebs urge violence towards all his supporters and are just plain inane. The worst offenders include Robert DeNiro, Cher, Rob Reiner, Rosanna Arquette, Mia Farrow, Alec Baldwin, Jim Carrey, Bette Midler, Jimmy Kimmel, Meryl Streep among many others; it’s downright depressing. The sane individuals from Hollywood can be counted on one hand -- James Woods, Jon Voight, and only a few others.

This lists some pro-Trump celebs.

Celebrities who Support Trump

I was surprised to see John Ratzenberger on the list. He was pretty leftist in the 80's. Roseanne Barr, Kanye West and Stephen Baldwin could be added.

Hardly anyone stayed home. That is a lame excuse for a failed marriage. Those marriages were on the rocks long before.
