Anyone can comment on my blog, but I always hope the comments are civil and well thought out. I am also on various social media outlets. The comments on one of those outlets got so bad that I restricted it to people I follow. It is very rare to have a civil political conversation with people because most of the time it just isn’t based on the truth. Too many times, people try to kidnap the conversation just to push their own agenda of racism, bigotry, and hate. It is really hard to have a conversation with a person who tries to use logic to justify their racism, bigotry, and hate.

My last blog was about the executive orders Trump had written on his first day of office. I got a response that I found very interesting. This anonymous poster wrote, “Are we looking at stupidity or something even more sinister, sabotage on behalf of the Deep State?” I don’t have any idea what the guy is talking about. Was he insinuating that I was part of the “Deep State”? I had to look up what the Deep State was and try to figure out what I was supposedly part of. I read my news and search for the truth. Is that what the Deep State is? People who search for the truth? I thought that was being “Woke”. Does being “Woke” make you part of the “Deep State”? I search for the truth by reading my news, I am “Woke” and I try to write the truth so I know that I am in the minority. Does that make me part of the “Deep State”? I thought there was a lot of deep, dark money financing the “Deep State” but I am writing for free, not making a dime. If there is all this dark money paying for the “Deep State” why is it not coming my way?

Is DEI part of the “Deep State”? Diversity is what is all around us. The American people are a diverse group of people so in reality Diversity can’t be part of the Deep State, can it? You go to the mall on any given day you see we are a very diverse country. I was just a Costco and I saw Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and many other nationalities all shopping at the same store. When I go to Walmart I see the same thing. Our Diversity is just a fact that is all around us. What is the opposite of Diversity? That would be Segregation, Bigotry, and Racism to name a few. Apartheid is also the opposite of diversity. Is trying to make Diversity part of some Deep State problem just a different way to promote Segregation, Bigoty, and Racism? It sure looks like that to me. To me, it is an attempt to create an American version of apartheid. When you have one race of people who feel their dumbest is superior to another race's smartest you in reality are living a lie.

The E in DEI stands for Equity. Equity states for fairness and justice, fair compensation, and substantive equality. Equity includes a focus on social disparities between groups that have historically been at a disadvantage. That doesn’t sound that bad to me. Doesn’t sound like something of a Deep State thing. I will never understand how one group of people thinks they deserve more than another. I wasn’t a believer that welfare is a good thing but equity is not about giving a person anything. It is about them being able to prove they can do a job. I have worked for a few unqualified people in my day. That is just a fact of life. It wasn’t because of DEI; it was more because of nepotism than anything else. Unqualified people were put into a position because they knew someone or had done someone a favor. I think we are seeing more nepotism and things like that than an employer wanting a good equity program. Maybe we would have more qualified people in Cabinet positions if we judged people through equity instead of nepotism. I don’t think a program that goes all the way back to JFK could be part of the Deep State.

Inclusion, could that be part of the Deep State? The first time I was introduced to the philosophy of inclusion was when my wife was working with the Developmentally Disabled. Her job was to transition clients out of the long-term residential facilities into their home communities. Another big push was to have the Developmentally Disabled students included in the classroom giving them as normal of a life as possible. I believe treating these young disabled students as equals in the classroom, to try and fulfill their potential is just as important as anyone else. Many of those people who were at one time hidden away can contribute to society just like you and me. I know that there have always been those who have opposed inclusion but to me, inclusion has always been about people being able to pursue the same dreams and have the same rights as everyone else

After looking into the Deep State I have decided that it is just a big lie to scare adults just like the boogie man was meant to scare children. It is meant to make you believe that your privilege is under attack by inferior people. To have a real Deep State you would need to have a great deal of money and have the ability to control a great deal of information. That would not be anyone in the Democratic Party. The only people I know who have that kind of money and power were sitting in the front row at Trump's inauguration.

Nazis were not big on Inclusion, Equity, or Diversity but they used fear to make sure it didn’t happen. You could say that they built concentration camps to fight DEI. The Developmentally Disabled were taken from their home and killed. Many minorities were taken to the camps and then killed.  They controlled the media and they demonized entire races and social groups of people with their control of the media. Over 6 million died and not by some secret deep state. It was because of Racism, Bigotry, and Hate. Does that sound familiar?

  1. For the first time in my adult life I am afraid of my own government and cult of hatred in people. With the Federal Freeze illegally just imposed there are going to consequences, real everyday ones. The Democratic party needs to let them swim in their own crap, let the Republican politicians get own vial of hurt and public outcry they deserve. Americans need to wake up, we can do so much better. We need a leader, but its going to take the entire village to change anything.

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...
