Trump has flown to New York. Marjorie Taylor Greene has flown to New York. One is for his arraignment of as many as 34 counts brought against him by the State of New York. The other is there to exercise her Constitutional Right to protest, but MGT was the circus. One knows what New York is like. The other really doesn’t. Trump will try and make a circus out of it. This being New York where everyday can be a kind of circus he will have, what I think, is a little bit of a problem. I don’t think that Marjorie Taylor Greene has a clue. This is a person that believes if a person blows a whistle while she is talking they are committing assault. That is exactly what she said happened in March during her jail visits. A man blowing a whistle “assaulted her” with the noise. She calls the police. She thinks that the Jan. 6th defendants are being persecuted for attacking the Capitol but she is says a whistle blown at her, constitutes assault. She may be a star on 60 minutes but that won’t fly in New York.

Sure enough, she states before she arrives, an “Emergency Noise Demonstration” against her appearance with constitutes an assault. Is the lady like the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, not having a brain? She has just dared the people of New York to do just that. She lasted 12 minutes before fleeing in an SUV. Brave protesters like Martin Luther King and Gandhi always stood their ground. Marjorie Taylor Greene runs away. She has her moment, she has her stage, and she has everything but the integrity to stand her ground. She just shows what a hollow, unprincipled person she really is. I am not saying that your cause has to always be pure but what I am saying is that you must have real conviction of action for your words to have any meaning. Her actions showed that she really didn’t have the conviction to stand with the other Trump Supporters. She just wanted to take her 15 minutes and ran, leaving the people that she helped rally standing there.

Trump is now under arrest. This news really shouldn’t surprise everyone considering that we knew for weeks that this would happen. Trump himself announced it a couple of weeks ago that it was going to happen. Trump did get some of his supporters there and yes, there was a little violence but it looks like it wasn’t a return of January 6th. The two groups had been separated by the police but I really do think that the support that Trump wanted didn’t materialize. I really think he thought that there would be a rebellion that would save him. That of course never happened. People make it sound like it is so unprecedented that Trump has been arrested and arraigned. People that break the law get arraigned every day in this country. My question is why should Trump be an exception? Because he was President? I have been told that the best way to not be arrested was to not break the law. It looks like Trump broke the law. Trump of course has pleaded not guilty to 34 criminal counts.

The saddest thing about all this coverage that Trump is getting is the fact that there were huge student walkouts in Tennessee and protesting at the Tennessee Capitol the school shooting in Nashville and the lack of gun safety. This is all being overshadowed by Trump but by 2024 I think that this will have more affect on the election than anything else. We have students that every year gets closer to voting age. We have students that heard and seen the bodies of classmate friends and fellow students. We have students that have had to practice active shooter drills. They are starting to stand up to be heard. I remember the Vietnam Protest when I was young. They didn’t start out big but they spread. The more body bags that came home, the higher the kill count got the larger the protests got. I am not going to underestimate these students and the power they are going to be bringing to the table real soon, we already saw the impact that they had on the 2022 election. Every year their impact, I predict, will get larger and stronger. We are leaving these kids a mess and they know it. Changing what you try and teach them to dummying them down as DeSantis would do will not change what will happen if it is only a lie or if is meant to hide the truth. Children are dying because we have been lying about the second amendment to them. They know that more guns just mean more death. Their communities are being ravaged by more and more powerful storms yet we have a government that will not do enough to protect their future. We still have people in very powerful position in our Government that still deny Climate Change. Our Children are not idiots and we have to stop treating them as such. If we are not going to start working for a better future for them then maybe we should start getting out of the way so they can start fixing things themselves. We are starting to see Generation Z entering the political arena with our first one being elected to Congress. There will be more in the future.

I have seen there are more walkouts planned for the future. That is how it begins. That is how you bring about real change.

  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...

  Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a party. Not a President, nor any individual. Not a social media following. They swear an oath to the Constitution. They take these oaths of their own free will. No one pointed a gun at their head to seek the office that requires obedience not to a leader but to a document that is our Constitution. What I wonder all the time is how someone can take that oath and then so easily break it. The saddest thing is that it is just all too common. So common that many people don’t notice, and so common that many people don’t care. Here are some very common things that elected officials have done that are actually a violation of their oath. Trying to overturn an election. Pressuring state officials to change election results. Voting to throw out certified votes without evidence. Lying to the public about things they know are not true and using their office to help themselves instead of the country. You don’t need a law de...
