 This will be my Thursday June 9th posting and June 9th will be the first day of the open Congressional Hearings of the January 6th insurrection. Many people have called that day many things. There has been some outright lying when it came to January 6th. Representative Andrew Clyde said after viewing footage it looked like just a bunch of tourist. Representative Clyde can be viewed helping to build a barricade to keep those so called tourists out of the House Chamber. The last time we had tourists like that in the Capitol was the British during the War of 1812.  These so called tourists were more like a lynch mob storming the jail. Representative Clyde called the insurrection a bald face lie. I am sorry but the bald face lie in my opinion came out of Representative Clyde’s mouth. The Chamber was not breached he claimed but yet a person died trying to breach the Chamber. There is video of him fearing for his life, but what the hell, we are just suppose to believe what comes out of his mouth the next day than what we saw with our own eyes.

That is a problem with today’s technology. Everything survives in digital form, all the truths and all the lies. Sometimes they try to make it hard to distinguish between the two and that is what the liars are counting on. Me? I would rather believe my eyes. I live in a small community in Southwest Florida and a group of us would almost every day meets and socialize at the pool.  January 6th 2021 was a typical beautiful day in Southwest Florida so of course we were at the pool enjoying the great weather. A friend of mine in our little pool group got a phone call from his daughter that a mob was trying the breach the Capitol. Everyone immediately went home to turn on the news. I could not believe my eyes. Never in my lifetime did I ever think I would see people attacking our Capitol. I kept wondering when is the National Guard going to show up. Our Democracy was under attack and the National Guard was nowhere in sight. I watched for what seemed like hours and there was no rapid response from our Government. Many could have died and a branch of our government could have been destroyed.   There was no rapid response from the Executive Branch of our government, the branch that would have been in charge of the rapid response. They had to be seeing what I was seeing. Even Fox News was covering it. Why was there no rapid response? It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist. The Executive Branch of the government was part of the insurrection or at the very least they wanted it to be successful.

The goal of that mob was to put an unelected man in the White House. Trump lost the election. He Lost! There was no steal. There was no organized Democratic plot to steal the election. The Democrats have never been that organized. The Republicans on the other hand are that well organized and they have a few of rich handlers telling them what to do in my opinion. People yelling that the Democrats are the enemy of the people are not screaming that of any of the people I know. They are screaming it to sow discourse.  

Twice Trump failed to win the popular vote. Are you telling me that over half of the voting public are the enemies of the people? If you are, you must be smoking something other than cigarettes or pot but whatever it is it is making you delusional. Could it be hate? Could it be racism? What is driving all the lies? Those are the questions that I would like answer but I know they are not going to be. What I would like to hear; the real reason to hatred and racism that I feel is one of the driving forces. I would like to hear about how the powers with money, domestic and abroad, are using that hatred and fear to try and bring down our Democratic Republic. I would like to know what happened to the pledge allegiance to the Flag and the Republic that it stands for that so many people have forsaken for power and money.

Those pictures of Representative Clyde barricading the door to the Chamber that the insurrectionists are trying to break into will survives for future historians to study a thousand years from now if the human race survives that long. So will also Clyde suggesting that they look like tourist. Just think of how the liars  and tyrants from a thousand of years ago are written about and you can imagine how they will be writing a thousand years in the future. The name Benedict Arnold isn’t just a name anymore it is also the name of someone that is a traitor. Having a Caesar complex is not  talking about Julius Caesar but describing a person the wants to be on all powerful tyrant. How will the people that talk about history, even just a hundred years from now, going to be talked about this period? “Going Trump” may mean leading a failed insurrection. “Going Trump” may mean trying to start a mutiny. “Going Cruz” could mean running away when you were needed. “Going Mitch” could mean taking the money and run.

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...

  MAGA called Biden a dictator, a Tyrant, a Nazi, a Communist, and the head of the Biden Crime Family. Biden was, of course, none of those things. Biden was a good Christian man who believed in God and the American system. When Biden said “God Bless America”, he meant it, whereas many politicians say, “God Bless America” only because they want your vote. Many people will say that Biden was weak. I don’t say that he was weak but I understand why some would say that. He believed in the system and he believed in the American people. It was our voice that was supposed to be important. It was not just his responsibility for our Democratic Republic to survive and flourish it was our responsibility too. Have we, as a country, lost our faith in our Democratic Republic? Have we lost the vision that was our Forefathers? Do today's Americans even understand what their vision was? What is a government by the People, of the People for the People?   Is that even close to what we have toda...
