On February 3rd a brave man sits is state in the rotunda of the US Capital building. He was a police officer, one of the men in blue.  At the same time we have the impeachment trial coming up and I am wondering what it is going to be. Will it be politics as usual or will people really be looking for justice and law and order. Well I know that there is going to be plenty of politics. What about law and order? Is there going to be justice for Brian Sicknick? Trump has never mentioned his name or the sacrifice he made for his Country.

Now Brian was a vet that was deployed to Saudi Arabia. He also served in Kyrgyzstan in support for the war in Afghanistan. He was a man that wanted to serve this Country and his community. He died doing his duty, protecting our capital. Now I noticed on January 8 that forty-five percent of Republicans thought that the storming to the Capital was justified. Another fifty-two percent said that Biden was to blame for the violence at the Capital. Now Biden had not even taken office yet and he was to blame? Do people really think that this man had the power to rig an entire election? Do you really think that he had the power to influence the courts that stated that there was no evidence of voter fraud?  Now these are the same people that think that the whole world created the Covid-19 hoax. Maybe it was those Jewish lasers from space that fixed the election.

Trump made baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud and the storming of the Capital was the result. Now this is just my opinion but I think he wanted to have this happen. You shout a lie loud enough and long enough people will begin to think it is the truth. Now people knew that Trump was a liar when he was elected. They were ok with that as long as he hated the same things they hated, Mexicans, Blacks, Arabs and smart powerful women. Now we are in a mess because of that hate. We have this mess because our Republican Congressmen and Senators have not shown the courage of a Brian Sicknick and stand up for our Democracy and against the people that want to destroy it. Yes people want to destroy it. The silence from people like Graham, Scott and Rubio is deafening, people have died because you were silent to the lie and sometimes help spread it.  Now you say we must move on. We cannot move on as a nation unless the lies are taken head on and we have justice for Brian Sicknick.

Now as I said in the past we need a two party system for our democracy to work. Now growing up in a Republican household I always look for Republicans I can vote for. I use to think that Rubio could develop into a person with the integrity to vote for but the longer he stays in office the more he becomes a puppet for big money. I hoped he would be the leader that would bring a more centrist platform to the Republican Party. Please look at the Republican platform from 1956.  Now look at the Republican Platform from 2020, oh that’s right they didn’t have a platform. It was whatever Trump wanted. Sorry Marc but that is not a political party. That is just a group that wants to bring down our democracy. Also continuing to vote alongside the likes of Cruz and Hawley is not the real leadership that this country, let alone the Republican Party needs.

 By the way Trump still has not mentioned Brian’s name.

  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...

  On Saturday, I was looking at Facebook and a person I was friends with, in fact, someone I went to High School with, posted something I knew was wrong. The post claimed that four lawmakers in Colorado decided jail time shouldn’t be mandatory for people who committed sexual assault of children. She claimed they were pedophile protectors. I opened up Perplexity and asked about the situation, and this is the reply I got back: You’re referring to a recent controversy in Colorado over a proposed bill that would change sentencing rules for certain sex crimes. Here are the verified facts to clarify what’s actually happening: • In early 2026, the Colorado House Judiciary Committee held a vote on a sentencing reform bill that aimed to give judges more discretion in certain felony cases. • Some lawmakers voted against an amendment that would have made mandatory prison sentences apply to all sex crimes, including child sexual assault, preferring instead to let judges determine sentences...

  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. ...
