 I am really glad that I am an Independent voter. Being not affiliated with any political party gives me such a feeling of freedom. I don’t have to try and justify the bad behavior of bad politicians. Lately is seemed like there are a lot of bad politicians. My mother always told me that I was only as good as the company that I keep. The older I get the more I understand what she meant.

Now they have voted to strip Marjorie Greene of her committee assignments. I have mixed emotions about it. She is a duly elected official from Georgia but she has said a lot of crazy stuff. Let’s look at some of the things that she said. She stated that the Parkland School shoot was a false flag, planned shooting with actors. Sorry Marjorie but real students died. She theorized that the Las Vegas mass shooting was an orchestrated shooting to bring down the 2nd amendment. I really don’t think that Marjorie has ever read the entire 2nd amendment and yes people really died. She prompted the Pizzagate scandal. Democrats sex trafficking? Really? Calling them Satan worshipers and Pedophiles. Greene goes on hour long rants against Muslims, Democrats and Soros. Frustrated with his criticisms of Trump, Greene accused the billionaire Holocaust survivor of collaborating with Nazis and “[turning] in his own people over to the Nazis.” Later, she called Soros “the Nazi himself trying to continue what was not finished.”She wanted to hang Obama and Hillary. She wanted to shoot members of Congress. Of course my favorite is the laser beams from space that caused the wildfires. The problem is that there is much more crazy stuff that she has pushed. This lady is loony tunes crazy and it would be hard to believe that people actually voted for her except I have seen other people on the web saying the same crap. What is the hell was the Republican leadership thinking? Putting this lady on the Education Committee is one of the biggest political blunders ever committed by the Republican Party. A women who thinks school shootings are staged events is not a person that I would want looking out for the welfare of our school children. I mean couldn’t you have put her on the space program committee since she knows all about lasers in space. This is a good read. 

As a stated in the beginning of this article not being affiliated with a political party is a blessing. I will tell you if there is a worthy Republican that I can believe in I would vote for them but I am really careful about whose company that I keep.  Marc Rubio has not really come out in support for Greene but he hasn’t condemned her very strongly either. Instead he blames the press whose job actually is to bring these very thing to the people. How can I stand by and support a politician that tries to play the victim instead of taking the problem head on. Byron Donalds came out against Greene, kind of, but then defended her first amendment right to free speech. I do believe this is free speech but if you are going to say something you must own it. You must be willing to take the consequences for what you say. You should not be able to lie to get where you want to go, and then, when you’re caught get off with an I’m sorry. To compare this lady to any Democratic member of Congress is just plain wrong. Lies are not a political opinion they are lies. 

Now I always come back to the Republican platform for the 1956 Presidential race . Now here is a platform I could get behind. If you look real close it almost looks like a Democratic platform. The county has not gone left, it has really gone far right. To fix the problems of the Republican Party they need to look at what they were, and what they are now.

Now those guys in 1956 were good company and the party of my Father.

  Dove or hawk? Donald Trump ran for President promising to end “endless wars”, avoid new ones, and put American families first. He cast himself as an outsider who would bring peace – the only candidate who wouldn’t drag America into another conflict. The message worked because let's face it, after so many years in Iraq and Afghanistan, America was tired of war. As a country, we were all tired of War. The country wanted stability, not another generation of men and women sent into danger. But once in office, he governed very differently. He governed like a Hawk, quick to threaten, quick to escalate, and willing to use both bombs and tariffs as weapons. What was missing wasn’t just consistency. It was an honor: the sense of responsibility and restraint that should come with the power to risk other people's sons and daughters. This isn’t about ideology. It's about whether someone who promised peace, but repeatedly chooses confrontation, can still claim to be a “dove”. A core...
  The hidden tax. Tariffs cause a hidden tax that never really goes away. I hope that Americans are tired of being told fairy tales about why everything costs more. Our elected officials point fingers. Corporations blame supply chains. Commentators blame inflation. The truth is much simpler and infuriating: tariffs are a tax on ordinary people, and the pain does not stop when the policy ends. It sticks. It lingers. It rarely delivers what we were promised. This is the mess we are in now because of the tariffs imposed by the current administration. Tariffs are sold as strength, as toughness – a way to punish governments and to bring back manufacturing jobs. That pitch works on conservatives who want control, moderates who want fairness, progressives who want domestic industry, and politicians trying to get elected. It is a message built to unite. The policy itself does the opposite. It drains the wallets of the very people that it claims to protect. Here is how it actually works. ...
  When I was young, I was told that “Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll” was going to ruin the country. What I am seeing today is that “Sex, Politicians, and Espionage” is actually what is ruining the country and our democracy. Just think about it. When sex, secrecy, and political power get mixed together, every intelligence service in the world pays attention. The Epstein files aren’t just about a criminal and the rich people that he surrounded himself with. They show how sexual exploitation creates the kind of vulnerabilities foreign governments like Russia dream of. The most uncomfortable part of that truth is that other countries, such as Great Britain, are taking that threat more seriously than we are. Jeffrey Epstein didn’t just commit crimes. He built a system. He targeted vulnerable girls, groomed them, controlled them, and used them to gain access to powerful men. That abuse wasn’t just immoral; it gave him power and leverage. Victims were scared, ashamed, and often silenced. P...
