In Florida a health official was put on leave by Governor DeSantis for suggesting to staff members they get the vaccine. Can you imagine being suspended for just suggesting something that is right? I would think that all health officials would be vaccinated. Their job is to protect the community and if you don’t want to protect the community you shouldn’t be in healthcare. I worked in healthcare on the technical side. I set up laptops that nurses would wheel into patient rooms, computers at nurse’s stations computers in Doctor’s offices, printers and various IT equipment that were used. I know firsthand that healthcare workers are always at risk of catching all kind of diseases and also of spreading all kinds of diseases. The first people that you want to protect are the frontline worker. People in healthcare are the frontline workers. If a soldier won’t carry a gun he should not be on that wall protecting our country. If a healthcare worker does not want to protect their patients they should not be in healthcare.

Healthcare is all about safety. Our Dear Governor DeSantis knows this. His wife has cancer. He is vaccinated and he should be to protect his wife. He won’t say if he will get the booster shot but I bet he already has it. Why? To protect his wife of course, that is what any good husband would do. Do you think he could be elected dog catcher if his wife caught Covid and died because he was unvaccinated? I wouldn’t vote for anyone that would sacrifice their wife to get elected to any political office. Our families have to always come first. As sad as it might be I know that there are people that would sacrifice their family for an ideal but I hope that ideal is something bigger than a shot in the arm but, in some cases I am afraid that it is not. DeSantis has put people in jeopardy for political gain and far as I am concerned he should be held criminally responsible and people should have the right to file a criminal complaint against him for obstruction of something that will save people’s lives. This health official was not forcing people to get vaccinated. He was suggesting that people get vaccinated. In my mind he was suggesting that people in healthcare should be protecting patients.

I am not a big fan of Federal Government Mandates or even State Mandates. I would rather that to be left up to the communities, though at times, they are necessary such are things that are regulated by the Federal Government.  There has to be consequences for our decisions. If you choose not to vaccinate that is fine but you should not expect to be able to continue to live your life as you normally have. Our medical experts have said that we should get vaccinated. They have the expertise in this field not Joe Blow down the street. Almost all of our government officials are vaccinated. Our Governor is vaccinated. The entire Trump Family is vaccinated. Why? Because experts in the field have advised it. With the encouragement and incentives by the Trump administration the pharmaceutical companies developed a vaccine to protect us. Businesses do have the ability to mandate safety protocols for their working environment for the satiety of their employees and their customers. You don’t like their rules then take you business elsewhere. If you don’t like the safety rules by you employers find another job. If you don’t like the guidelines to fly don’t fly. You do have choices but you cannot force your demands unto the rest of us. Your rights are not some overriding thing that should expose me to the dangers that you want to face. If it is your choice, you should face them without harming other people.

Life is always full of choices and I have chosen to be vaccinated. I have chosen that I will try and protect my neighbors. I have chosen I will try and protect you. I still wear a mask because I have chosen I will protect my neighbors. I still wear a mask because I have chosen to protect you. Those are my rights and you have not right to put me in jeopardy.

    Very well written. ALL DeSantis cares about is maintaining and increasing his power at the expense of our Democracy. He does this by taking advantage of the ignorant and the racists. Ever since Trump was President, I have been completely shocked by the power hungry scum in our country that lack any integrity or morals whatsoever.

  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. ...

  I will tell you that I am no Christian, but I will tell you that I was raised in a Christian household. I was baptized, went to Sunday School, was Confirmed, and attended church into adulthood. Because of that upbringing, I still think about the morals I learned from that religious upbringing. To this day, I judge right and wrong by what I learned in that church. There has been a little bit of a dispute between The Pope of the Catholic Church, the Trump administration, the deportations, and Catholic convert Vance and his use of the concept from the medieval Catholic theology known in Latin as “Ordo Amoris”. I guess Vance has said the concept delineates a hierarchy of care – to family first, followed by neighbor, community, fellow citizen, and lastly those elsewhere. Being raised a Protestant I had never heard of it but then the Lutheran Church has no medieval saint.   I searched on the web and asked if “Ordo Amoris” was in the Bible and the short answer would be “no”. It i...
