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.

  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...
