This weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Monday, a day of remembrance for all those that have served and passed away and for all those that have died protection our Constitution. Some of us will be taking advantage of the weather to get a jump on summer. Yet some of us will remember those that have come before us to insure the safety of our democracy. Not only do we need to thank the military, but also all the first responders that have come to our aid when we need them.

This Memorial Day we should remember those members of the Capital Police force that fought to save our democracy from the domestic terrorism that threatened our democracy and still does threaten it. When our Capital was attacked for the first time since the War of 1812 they were the ones that rushed to defend it. It was their acts of bravery that saved the lives of many of the politicians that would now deny their acts if bravery. On Monday I will say a silent thank you to those that have truly stood up for America and protected our Constitution. After 9/11 we learned that not all the heroes wore military uniforms. Some wore firefighting uniforms and some wore police uniforms. Some were just everyday people going about their job and died because we were attacked.

Like most American holidays there is always an argument who was the first. It was first called Decoration Day which was a day that women in the south would decorate the graves of the fallen soldiers. Of course when the North began to do it also the South claimed that the North was stealing their holiday. At this point I do not think it matters. What matters is that we honor the men and women of this nation that have put their lives on the line and continue to put their lives on the line in defense of the Constitution. It started as a day to decorate the graves of the fallen soldiers and has expanded to help us honor all the brave souls that have defended this nation.

How can you be an insurrectionist and a believer in the Constitution at the same time? I don’t think you can. The insurrectionists tried to destroy a branch of our government that is part of the constitution. Yes the Legislative Branch is part of the Constitution. The courts had ruled there was no fraud. The Congress was doing their Constitutional duty to certify the election. Everything had gone according to the Constitution. What happens next? A mob of Domestic Terrorists are directed to march on the Capital and make them change the results of the election. They tried to destroy a branch of our government and install a non-elected person as President.  That is like appointing a dictator. No matter how hard some of the politician’s try to spin it. all the digital evidence will survive for generations if not forever. It was on live TV for the world to see. It is not only part of U S history, it is also part of world history. We saw the bravery some of the Capital’s finest and those should be honored along with all the defenders of our Constitution.

As I am writing this there is a congressman from Florida by the name of Matt Gaetz that seems to be kicking off his presidential run. Now he appears to be advocating violence against the people of Silicon Valley pretending that he can use the 2nd amendment to do it. His logic is beyond what I feel is even sane. Does he have a right to form a militia to force his will upon people in another state? Here it is a weekend of remembrance a of the true Patriots and we have this idiot running around trying to put up smoke screens because he is under investigation for have sex with a minor and transporting that minor across state lines. The second amendment definitely was not meant for defending that. He is just an embarrassment to all that have taken up arms to defend this nation and that great document.

Everyone have a great Memorial Day and remember. Remember the fallen that gave all so this nation can continue to be free.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...

  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...

  Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a party. Not a President, nor any individual. Not a social media following. They swear an oath to the Constitution. They take these oaths of their own free will. No one pointed a gun at their head to seek the office that requires obedience not to a leader but to a document that is our Constitution. What I wonder all the time is how someone can take that oath and then so easily break it. The saddest thing is that it is just all too common. So common that many people don’t notice, and so common that many people don’t care. Here are some very common things that elected officials have done that are actually a violation of their oath. Trying to overturn an election. Pressuring state officials to change election results. Voting to throw out certified votes without evidence. Lying to the public about things they know are not true and using their office to help themselves instead of the country. You don’t need a law de...
