Party Politics is really getting on my nerves. They voted on giving the Capitol Police that defended the Capitol for the insurrectionist a medal and 12 Republican Congressman voted against it?  They want to act like it didn’t happen. They went and hid and these Police Officers protected them and they want to act like it didn’t happen. Oh sure, they are introducing a resolution that commends the Capitol Police but does not mention Jan 6th or the insurrection. One man died because of the insurrection, two committed suicide because of the Insurrection and about 140 were injured with some being hospitalized. Now, where is the support for the police? These guys all ran and hid during the insurrection. These guys were all saved by the Capitol Police. They may actually owe their lives to the Capitol Police yet they choose to disrespect the Capitol Police. Maybe such bravery should be rewarded by not being reelected. I don’t care if they are replaced with a Republican or Democrat but they should all go. I am pretty sure they could all get jobs at Fox News.

We also have the Covid-19 relief bill that not a single Republican voted for. Why? They seem to want to take credit for the good that it is going to do. The majority of the people were smart enough to know that it was a good thing but where were the Republicans in Congress? They were not thinking about the people they represent that is for sure but will be at all the ribbon cutting ceremonies that occur because of it. That is what is wrong with Party Politics. I know that I do a lot of Republican bashing but the reason is that I at one time I believed in the Republican Party. Civil Rights in the 60’s would not have happened without the Republicans. Johnson may get most of the credit because he sacrificed his political career for Civil Rights but back then it was the Southern Democrats that were the people that were suppressing the Black Vote. I was proud of the Party of my Father, the Republican Party. There was once upon a time yet still in my lifetime a Liberal and a Moderate Republican but they are now all extinct.I want that party back. That party can really make America great again. I am really afraid that too many of the Republicans today want to create their own version of Apartheid here in America.

The fact that both parties vote with one mind makes it awfully hard to vote for an individual today. You may sit down and talk with a Republican or Democrat candidate and like what they say but once they get to Washington they vote with the party no matter what. That was not always true. At the end of GW Bush’s term there was a financial crisis that almost brought our financial system down. Both Presidential Candidates stop campaigning and worked with the congress and the Bush administration to solve it. That does not happen today. That makes it hard for me to vote for a Republican. I do not want voter suppression. I do not want a white supremacists agenda. I do not to be bullied by little men trying act big by carrying a gun. I want freedom, real freedom that you cannot get from being slaves to corporations or the rich. The Republican do know how to accomplish these things but refuse. In My older post, if you have read them, I have pretty much spelled out how we could be freer.

  In 1776 we declared our independence against a Monarch that was above the law. I wonder what John Adams would think about what the Supreme Court just ruled. I believe, what the Supreme Court just ruled is contrary to what the intention of the men that wrote and approved our Declaration of Independence.   This Fourth of July it would be a good idea if everyone would start out by reading the Declaration of Independence. The words that always have always stuck with me are “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Do those words still hold true? The three branches of the Government get their just powers from the people. Not the rich people. Not the Republicans. Not the Democrats. It is...

This is my continued search on whether Trump has the Character to be President. A person I know stated “His character matters bc it is in the character I believe he has the leadership, knowledge, wisdom, experience, compassion, integrity that will lead us on the path towards a more safe, secure, healthy, prosperous, free world than the direction we are headed.” My last blog looked at his character as integrity from a legal standpoint before he even was elected President. From a legal standpoint there is no way I would have thought he had the integrity to be President. Now I will look at some of his Moral Integrity and Compassion that should be there from the man that sits in the White House.  I have to say something about Donald Trump, he sure is a believer in the institution of marriage. He likes marriage so much that he has said “I do” three times. What his problem with marriage is the actual vow that he has to take. You know that love, honor, and cherish until death do us part. ...

  It is a new game but it is still being played just like the old one. Biden has chosen not to run for a 2 nd term and it looks like Kamala Harris will get the Democratic nomination. This drastically changes what the election will look like. Instead of two old white guys facing one another we will have a woman that is 19 years younger than the Republican nominee Donald Trump. Donald Trump went from saying Biden was too old and senile even though he was only three years younger than Biden to the old guy that appears to be too old and senile. Since Biden’s debate performance he had been under a considerable amount of pressure to drop out of the race. I have admitted in a past post when Biden came on stage he looked frail and in the beginning of the debate Trump’s tactics really confused Biden. He did get better as the debate went on but it was too late for that. The first 5 minutes was all that anyone remembered. Trump used a debating technique that is called “Gish Gallop” where a...
