Most of us when we talk about our country and its form of government we refer to it as a democracy. A few times but not many there will be someone that says that we are not a Democracy we are a Republic. This is from the English Dictionary. Republic: “A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representative” Democracy: “A system of government by the whole population or all eligible members of a State, typically through elected representatives”. I don’t think that it is a sin to call us a Democracy if you want. They correct you when you say that and say you are wrong to try and make you look stupid and they are so much smarter than you. Well they aren’t. They are just jerks that want to insult people with their small minds. Most of the time they claim they are Conservatives but what I really think they are, people that do not really believe in the vision that is supposed to be America. They throw around words like freedom while suppressing others. That is what is wrong with America now too many people no longer think about freedom and the vision that was America.  They just think about power and in a real free America it does not give them power.

Now, there has been a saying throughout history that we always hear. “The Truth Will Set You Free”. We have a hearing going on now on the investigation of the January 6th attack on our Capitol. Every witness that speaks swore in whether they are live or taped to tell the truth. Most of the testimony is from the Trump team. I believe what we are seeing at the hearings is the truth for the most part. What I find interesting is the fact that so many people still believe the lies. At times like this throughout history the crazy conspiracy theorists come out of the woodwork and give wild theories about what we are hearing and seeing. With today’s social media who needs the tabloids to spread this stuff to the crazies. I have read now that Bill Barr was talking in code and saying exactly what Donald Trump wanted him to say. I have read that the recorded testimony of Ivanka’s was fake, just a computerized image. Just like with the space lasers causing the wild fires our conspiracy theorists will say just about anything to distort and hide the truth. The birther movement was just a lie to hurt the Obama Admistration. The World Trade Center was an inside job. That one was made up to make America look bad. The one about Sandy Hook being a false flag was beyond cruel.  I used to think that most of the conspiracy stuff was harmless and funny, Elvis lives or Area 51. The problem with today our conspiracy theorists I believe are meant to harm and weaken our nation. They are meant to help divide our nation worse than it is already divided. When we were doing a boat delivery, when I was younger, members of the crew would show up with a National Inquirer and we all would have a good laugh at the ridicules stories and theories but is was just all in good fun. Today’s conspiracy theories are not laughable and they are not in good fun. They are meant to harm people and our nation.

Lying always harms our nation. I grew up during the Vietnam War. I enlisted during that war with the hope of serving my country. They turned me down because of my health but I wanted to go and was ready to go. As I have gotten older I have realized how much the Government has lied to us. From Vietnam to Afghanistan to Iraq, too many lies have been told. Because of the distrust of our government many of the conspiracy theories are born. Both the Government lying and the conspiracy theories do harm to the truth and the American people. All the lies do is harm us, they never protect us. Biden is not responsible for worldwide inflation and the lying just makes it harder to solve. Biden in not responsible for the price of gas and all the lying just makes it harder to solve. This all would have happened is Trump was President too. All the conspiracy theories out there just makes it harder to search for the truth.

Today I was called a partisan hack. That is fine. The person calling me that wouldn’t know what bipartisan is. Not one of the Trump supporters would know what a bipartisan person looks like because their attitude is either my way or the highway. When you are believers in lasers from space or that John Kennedy Jr. is alive and going to be Trump’s next running mate just shows how easily some of the American public can be lead to believe anything.

  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...
