I am a day late with my update because I was driving back from Wisconsin back home from my 50th High School reunion. It was a good time and I wish I could have visited more with some of the people hadn’t seen in 30 years but you only have so much time before we all go our separate ways again. Maybe I will do a better job of contacting some of them in the future.

While I was in Wisconsin the neighboring state of Iowa was hosting a Donald Trump rally. You know those Hitler style rallies that they used to have in Germany that led to the killing of 6 million Jews and minorities. Those rallies that wanted to return Germany to greatness though the purity of the German blood. Many people have noted the similarities between the Trump rallies and the Nazi rallies. I personally find the similarities scary. The people that opposed Hitler were the enemy of the people. The people that oppose Trump are the enemy of the people. 45% of the people of Iowa voted for Biden. Are they all now enemies of the people?

At the rally in Iowa there was a call for another Civil War. Can you believe that? A Civil War? Who is going to fight who? Is it going to be white against black? Whites against all minorities? Are you going to exile every person that does not pledge allegiance to Trump? Are you going to replace the American Flag with something else? The branches of government, what will you do with those? The Constitution, what in the hell are you going to do with that? Use it as toilet paper? The army, what do you think that they are going to do? They all took an oath to defend the constitution of the United States. Do you think that all of them will just ignore that oath just like Trump has done? People that shout civil war do not have a clue what it would do to this country. Just look at any civil wars that have taken place in the rest of the world and tell me if you like the results. It I easy to shout civil war but it is harder to execute. It is even harder to build a country afterward. The people that shout”Civil War” are just making it easier for our enemies. China and Russia will watch the United States fall into chaos without having to fire a single shot. In reality, what you are doing is aiding our enemies.  The weaker we get the stronger our enemies get. Why do people want a weakened United States? Instead of shouting Civil War maybe you ought to be looking at who would really benefit. If you are really honest with yourself you will realize that you won’t benefit.

There was a man that I read said that Jesus has spoken to put Trump back in the White House. Really? Jesus has spoken? To whom? Jesus that man that wanted his followers to give everything away and come follow him? He would want to put a Billionaire in the White House? Jesus, that said suffers the children not for they will inherit that earth?  Would he want to man in the White House that separated children from their parents and put them in cages? Jesus, that man, when he was a child had to seek asylum with his whole family in Egypt?  Would he endorse a man that will deny asylum to all those desperate people at the border? Have these people ever read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? You know the gospel? They invoke Jesus’ name where I am pretty sure he wouldn’t want his name it to be invoked with anything Trump. How much did you have to pay to get into that rally? When Jesus talked he didn’t charge a thing. He also fed the crowd for free. Can you imagine Trump doing anything for free?

The lying and misinformation from Trump, the Republicans and from the conservative news has to stop. If you do not see that it is weakening our democracy then you are part of the problem. The last four years under Trump has really weakened our democracy and do you know who wins with a weakened American Democracy? Putin, China, North Korea, Iran, everyone one of our enemies. The United States does not benefit and in the end you will not either.

    Sounds like the same bologna they're selling down at the corner deli. Trumpets obviously are throwing a wrench in the cog of democracy just to see what happens and don't understand the consquences of doing that

  There’s a simple way to judge a country: look at whose lives it protects, and whose lives it’s willing to forget. For years now, we’ve heard the phrase “All Lives Matter.” It sounds fair. It sounds equal. It sounds like common sense. But a country doesn’t reveal its values through slogans. It reveals them through actions, through the lives it defends, the lives it ignores, and the lives it quietly pushes out of sight. And lately, America has been doing a whole lot of looking away. When Black Americans said they were being killed during traffic stops and routine encounters, the response from many leaders wasn’t concern; it was irritation. Instead of saying, “Let’s fix the problem so fewer people die,” we heard “Blue Lives Matter,” “Stop resisting,” and “BLM is a terrorist group.” A man died in a chokehold on camera. We all saw, from the beginning to the end. It was like a modern-day lynching. Millions marched peacefully. The answer from those in power was “law and order,” and “...

  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...

  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...
