We have an election next week that may just be the most important election in my lifetime. Didn’t I say that for the last election? Why are these elections so damn important now? Have they always been this important? Maybe they were but we just didn’t realize it at the time. Back in 2000 we had an election and a close one at that. Do you think that maybe there would be a million Iraqi’s alive now if Gore would have won instead of Bush? I had more faith in the public back then to do the right thing than I do now because of that election. Why? Maybe it’s because of those one million dead Iraqi’s. We attacked a Country that was not a threat and we changed the course of history for an entire region. The Middle East is still very unstable and there is only one country to blame. Our vote matters and how we vote has a direct effect on not only America but the rest of the world. What happens to Europe if we withdraw support of Ukraine and let Russia and Putin move as they please? Who would be next. NATO is there for one purpose and that it to resist Russian aggression in Europe. No Russian Aggression and no NATO simple but as long as there is aggression organizations NATO will remain necessary.

I just do not understand the American Voter today. Gone is voting for the best man or woman because not matter who you put in there they will fall in step with the rest of their party. Values? Values don’t seem to be that important at all. Christian values? I don’t even know what those are anymore. How can you have a gun toting culture and have Christian values? How can you believe in the sanctity of life and have “stand your ground” laws. We have gone from a society of justice to a society of vengeance. Were we always this way? Children are dying because of guns and we say the answer is more guns? I have stated many times before the that one of my definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. That’s not rocket-science folks. That is just good old common sense. What is the difference between a good guy and bad guy?  A lot of times it is one bad decision. I would rather ask the question who benefits from all the guns on the streets? Who benefits from the chaos that they can create? Some people will tell you that it is so we can rebel against a suppressive government. Show me one rebellion around the world where the country was better off just one. That is way our vote is so important instead to rebellion.

How can you say that you are a person of family values and then vote for Hershel Walker? I can’t figure out any reason why someone would want Hershel Walker in the Senate. Who will Walker really represent? I am pretty sure he won’t be representing the people of Georgia. I hate to tell you this but representing the interests of billionaires is not representing the will of the people. These billionaires are in many cases international billionaires with interests all over the world that wish to own American Politicians not for the good of our country, but for the good of their international businesses. Is a businessman like Elon Musk thinking about what is good for America? Most businessmen now think only about what is good for business. Look a Twitter. The 2nd largest stock holder of Twitter is the Saudi Royal family. Are they interested in free speech or maybe, just maybe, they are more interested in shaping public opinion to meet their needs. Billionaires want to not only want to control public opinion but they want to control the people that can regulate that control. As long as we keep and electing people that don’t truly represent the people the worse it is going to get.

There are many Republicans that talk about the truth. Trump was thrown off Twitter because of his lying and misinformation and he talks like he is a defender of the truth. People died from his lying and misinformation. I have heard that Jan. 6th was just tourists. That was a lie. I have heard that it was Antifa and that was a lie. I have heard that it was people exercising their right to peacefully protest and, that too was a lie. Too many don’t care that we are being lied to about some pretty serious stuff. These are deliberate lies for power. They are meant to destroy your faith in the American way of life not enhance it. They want to divide us while they prey on our racism. 6 million Jews died because of racism and we still are hearing the anti-Semitic garbage. Why are our leaders not standing up to that? Why is the news media’s not standing up to that? Hatred and violence have now become too much of a political tool. One political party more than the other is the one that does not really believe in the vision that used to be America. They have promoted violence. They have promoted lies. They have promoted racism and they have not stood up against the anti-Semitic garbage that is out there. Why are we not standing up to them?

  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...

  American exceptionalism, we have always heard about American exceptionalism. To be honest with you I never understood what that meant. What are we exceptional at? Sports? Are we exceptional because we produce the greatest athletes? Music? Are we exceptional because we produce the greatest musicians? Because we have the greatest Army in the world? Does that make us exceptional? I was told American exceptionalism is now based on Freedom, not truth and justice. Freedom of speech except for groups we don’t like. Freedom of religion except for those religions we don’t like. Freedom of love except only certain kinds. Is it only what we will accept, that is American exceptionalism now? Time magazine published an article stating the United States has been added to the Global Human Rights Watchlist due to the decline of civil liberties. We are on the same watch list that those third-world countries are on that Trump called shithole countries.   I thought I would never see that in m...
