He’s at the 4th stage of grief…construction.

The punchline to the satirical bit that Jimmy Kimmel showed, and the moron at the FCC decided was so horrible he should lose his show? 

What a bunch of bullshit!  

We are now living in a 3rd world country, with idiots in charge…for now.

The reality is that the country has been taken over by people that are vindictive as hell, and are now in a position to get away with this unethical nonsense.

The head of the FCC decided that he would eliminate Kimmel by influencing the conglomerate that was being considered by the FCC in a merger deal with another company.  He told them “we can do this the easy way, or the hard way”, as a threat to get Nexstar to drop Jimmy.

We can be infuriated with the affiliates that Nexstar owns the broadcast rights to for being forced to go along with the decision, but in reality it is a government agency (the FCC) that is behind this decision. They will deny it, but the merger which exceeds the limitation on the maximum percentage of total viewership a single broadcast company can reach, will be approved now.

In any other situation that is called extortion. 

The 1st amendment, freedom of speech is under attack by our government itself.

This government must be returned to the people. 

Normal people that believe in equal rights for everyone, free and fair elections, freedom and liberty for all, and a common interest in protecting the minority, the weak, the helpless, and those in need. 

The midterm elections are in just over a year. We, the people, must take a stand and send a message. Remove all existing congressional Republicans running for office. The republicans party is entirely complicit  in everything that has occurred over the last year.  The Doge, the ICE, the tariffs, the loss of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the attacks on anyone not like themselves, the lies about stopping wars, the lies about lowering the cost of goods, services, and groceries. Everything, from firing comedians for making fun of the orange man, shin splint claiming draft dodger, while supporting some idiot on FOX that suggested giving lethal injections to homeless people.

Enough already, Wake up 

Release the Epstein information and let the entire world witness how justice is served.

First, they came for your liberty and pursuit of happiness, and you did nothing because you were certain the founding fathers knew that the basis of checks and balances would hold true. But, then it didn’t.

Then they came for your right to be treated fairly equally, but you did nothing because you watched the highest court in the land decide equal wasn’t meant to really be equal, and no one is above the law isn’t actually true after all.

Then, they came for the separation of church and state, but you did nothing because the religion they chose was the one you believed in.

Then, they came for your freedom of choice, because you were sure this freedom would be restored when they realized it was unconstitutional. They knew it was, but they didn’t care.

Then, they came for your freedom to vote in a free and impartial election, but you couldn’t convince them that gerrymandering was a form of discrimination and blatently unfair.

Then, they came for your states rights, but you did nothing because your state was the “right” color of red. 

Then, they came for your freedom of speech, but you did nothing because you were told it was warranted if you said or wrote anything they didn’t agree with.

Then, they came for your right to bear arms, oh wait, that cherished right wasn’t taken YET, but it probably will be at some point. Sooner or later, they won’t want anyone that disagrees with them, or is the wrong gender and race to have weapons.

The Constitution and more specifically your rights are being eroded away, and democracy is being replaced.

Wake up, it is our republic, if only we can keep it!

I recently read a poll that was taken regarding how worried people were about the state of democracy in America, The numbers reported were staggering to me, as 90% were either “very worried” or “somewhat worried” about it. 70% were “very worried”, which is an alarming amount of people, if you ask me.

Made me think about democracy, how it came about and what other alternatives might there be.

Democracy started in Greece during the city-state era. Democracy means government by the “people”. The Greeks believed males ages 18 years old (then later changed to 20), that were born in that city-state would be those that determined the rules of government. Those that met the required criteria, made up about 10-15% of the “people”.

Aristocracy is a form of government by the “best/highest” group of people. Oligarchy is a form of government by the “few”. Monoarchy is a form of government by the “one”. Each of these were attempted by various people throughout history. Some still exist today.

In the 18th century, representative democracy started showing up. This is best described as a democratic government where limited rights were given to a minority adult population. The populace represented were mainly white land owners over the age of 18 or 20. By the 20th century, this form expanded the rights to include nearly all adults, regardless of property ownership, gender, or race.

Just after the Greeks initiated the use of a democratic city-states, the Romans began the use of government as a Republic. Thus, it was supposed to be a government belonging to the public. Citizenship was determined by birth and within a certain region under the Roman Empire. They also limited the “people” by gender, age, and property ownership, and birth right.

Neither the Greeks or Romans used “elected representation” as a means for establishing a legislature. This came later, after revolutions in France, England, and the United States of America. Elected representation was a means used to allow for a wider input for those being governed, while limiting the actual number of people within the official structure of the government.

With elected representation, political parties were created, to provide voting power to like minded citizens. The parties realized they needed to reduce the number of candidates within that group, in order to hopefully maximize the votes cast for them, and increase the probability of being elected.

In the end, it would enable the majority to prevail over the minority. By having multiple candidates from the same political party, it in would split the votes, and possibly lose out to a third candidate from the opposing party that had more votes given than either of the 2 opponents. This actually happened a number of times in the early history of the United States, until political parties caught on to the numbers game. That is avoided now by use of primaries and nomination of a single candidate per party.

Early on the development and creation of the newly formed government of the United States, the founding fathers were very concerned how, and if, a majority would marginalize or even abolish the “rights” of the minority (just because they could, because they won the election, and were the majority).

Many sought to assure that Minority rights were safeguarded from potential abuse of power and radical mistreatment by the Majority.

Ideas to attempt to assure that happened and included in the development of the government were;

• The need to have a super majority (2/3 or 3/4) to change the basic rights and amendments guaranteed within the constitution

• creating separate branches of government with each having specific roles and duties
• autonomy to some degree for the separate “State” controlled governments.
• Proportional representation for one house of the legislature, to balance fairness among more and less populated regions
• creating the Electoral College to determine the winner of the highest elected leader of the country, instead of a straight popular vote winner.

Safeguarding the “rights” of the Minority is a critical difference included in the new form of government being proposed by the forefathers of the United States of America. Included in the Bill of Rights and established throughout the Constitution – citizens have “rights” that cannot be abridged, regardless of majority or minority standing.

But, at the same time many thought that political parties would eventually end democracy. They could not see how dividing a nation into 2 opposing groups would allow for anything but problems. George Washington, the first President of the new country was opposed to the idea of political parties.

Fast forward through a couple hundred years and we have a bitterly divided nation. 2 political parties, so focused on destroying each other, that nothing of value gets done in the nation’s capital.

Created to keep the Majority from terrorizing the Minority, some of those things established at the onset of the creation of this nation, are all we have in place to safe guard the freedoms that members of both political parties cherish so much for themselves.

Yet, if given the chance – both parties without a doubt would do whatever they can to eliminate the existence of the other. Neither seem to truely believe that they actually do need one another. For a government made up of a single Majority driven party simply cannot work.

The problem today is that both parties have no respect for each other. Working together for the common good will never work, when a common good cannot be agreed upon. One party that gets its way ALL the time, will eventually fail, because even within each party – not ALL are treated equally, nor believe in everything the same way.

Why not, the Majority would ask? We would be so happy and content having everything the way we want it. Screw everyone else. But, the Constitution assures fair and equal rights for ALL, regardless of political affiliation. It is the protection included, to avoid having certain groups or philosophy’s forced upon everyone else.

Unfortunately, people often forget or are unable to grasp this concept. Or, just don’t care.

Even today, with a 2 party system that is filled with vastly differing philosophical views on so many critical issues, the possibility of governing at all is questionable.

The differences within the Republican Party itself, has created a situation where their party cannot even agree on who should be the Speaker of the House. Whom also happens to be the 3rd in line of power in the chain of command of the government, after the President and Vice President.

Rather than work together to elect a Speaker whom enough could accept as their leader, a small group has decided to hold their party hostage for things that they desire. It’s a lot like extortion.

The Democratic representatives can only offer a way out, if some Republicans would be willing to share power. The Democrats want to trade votes for an acceptable candidate along with agreements in how legislative committee are chaired and managed.

Unfortunately, the 2 party system seems to have internal problems that was comprehended long ago by our 1st President. He also was a proponent of term limits, as he felt no one should be in a position to rule as a king.

Eventually even the more modern forms of governance seem to have stumbled along the long path to form a more perfect method to achieve liberty and freedom for all of its citizens.

Now, the basic idea of a Constitution supporting the notions of protecting equal rights for the minority, is under attack.

They are attacking Democracy from within.

Lincoln was correct when he said, a house divided cannot stand.

What is going on now is like watching the Berlin Wall come crashing down and essentially ending the USSR.

I never thought this could happen to the United States of America, but then again, we were warned.

Epstein seems to have touched a nerve with the MAGA cult, and Donnie heads towards the hills to hide.

He says to his followers “that there’s nothing to see here, so just move along”.

Pam Blondie said she had the file on her desk.

So who is lying? Probably both, because that is how they got elected and how they operate.

The reality is, there may not have been “a list”, but Maxwell knows who the culprits were. If she ends up like the dead Russian guy, I guess we will know.

He is a convicted rapist and everything he said about movie stars isn’t just boys locker room talk.

Guys like him exist now, and existed years ago. They behaved that way because they were allowed to and had the money & influence to keep people from talking or telling. They had their own “deep state” established to protect their interests.

Now, some of the MAGA cult are obsessed with finding out whom the pedi files were/are? What would they do when their cult leader is identified? Ever heard of a woman named Johnson? She tried to expose her story with Epstein and Donnie, 3 times – she wasn’t able to out of fear for what “they would do to her or her family”. She was 13 years old and had verifiable evidence.

He wants the story to “go away”, because he knows where it will lead. This is his normal motive and method used to deflect reality.

Don’t let the Epstein story get swept under the rug.

Hopefully, this might lead to the end of him influencing the so called “ultra conservatives”.

I never understood how they supported such a pervert in the first place.

The fight of good and evil is masked by differences in beliefs and values established for selfish purposes, and overshadowed by those seeking control and power. The proof of this is the fact that the battle even exists at all. 

The development of mankind continues to be stunted by a lack of a cohesive understanding among all believers and non-believers, that sacrifice without prejudice, must be the cornerstone of human behavior in order for it to evolve to the next level of humanity.

Love thy neighbor, and treat others as you would like to be treated, are similar yet lesser steps towards achieving a more harmonious world. Well meaning and hopeful attempts for peaceful coexistance.

The ultimate measure of love is sacrifice.

For whom do you love enough to give up everything for?

Wouldn’t it be great if we lived in a world where that never needed to be asked, or answered?

To achieve that ultimate state of peaceful understanding and growth, mankind must rid itself of every form of greed, hate, jealousy, deceit, and disrespect utilized as a means to disenfranchise anyone else from enjoying the true freedom each seeks in pursuit of a joyful life. 

When all people finally understand that the ultimate sacrifice of giving their everything for the betterment of others, without filtering, requiring anything in return, or establishing prejudices relative to religious beliefs, color of skin, place of birth, or gender, only then will there be any hope that mankind will survive itself.

No, to Scientifically proven data based reality, and grants used to investigate and invent cures for deadly diseases.

Yes, to pardoning criminals that violated the law, hurt people, and destroyed government property.

No, to Public Education and grants supporting the many previous Acts of Congress for our Education system.

Yes, to Tariffs that will create Job Losses, raise Inflation, cause a global financial crisis, prompt countries to impose Tariffs on our exports that will harm many individuals here, and that almost every economic and business person opposes.

No, to the long standing 2 term limit for the President, ignoring not 1 but 2 different amendments in the Constitution.

Yes, to sharing military plans to execute bombing raids over an unsecure communication method with folks that are not cleared to see such unclassified information – including a reporter that was accidently added to the chat – risking the lives of our service men and women involved and located geographically nearby.

No, to Historical factual information involving or mentioning certain words or philosophical beliefs opposed to by this administration. Essentially approving censorship, in an attempt to erase history.

Yes, to Christianity, but ONLY Christianity (and  Judaism), yet not actually behave the way Christ preached and the New Testament states.

No, to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) – far too many examples where the current administration has dismantled this basic tenet of Civil Rights.

Yes, to Deporting citizens and immigrates before vetting that those being transported are actually in violation of actually being here legally or not. Some are legit, but some are not –   But, what happened to “Due Process” in this country?

No, to Public Television and Radio Free stations for fear that they included shows about topics opposed to the administration beliefs.

Yes, to insisting on including terribly unqualified people to run many of the Departments within the government, and then self appointing a wealthy contributor to dismantle those departments using waste, fraud, and abuse as his reason for doing so, violating Congress responsibility while doing that.  Too bad he hasn’t pointed to the biggest FRAUD of all – Those being the idiots in charge.

No, to keeping their promise to not touch Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. The foundation of the American workers retirement benefits that they contributed to with a promise from the government to provide the benefit once you retire.

Yes, to degrading women and handicapped in order to demonstrate the actual misogynistic and hateful behaviors within his defective personality. WWJD doesn’t really apply to him, now does it?

No, understanding basic economics, history, or civics lessons. No wonder he hates the Department of Education – it didn’t help him at all.

Yes, to Isolationism – see the line above and others too. And, at the same time piss off our neighbors on our north and south border, act like he is somehow going to unilaterally invoke statehood on one, purchase Greenland, take over the Panama Canal, and end a War that he said would be over 24 hours after he was elected.

No, to Birthright Citizenship which has been in place and challenged in the past with the judicial system supporting Birthright Citizenship.

Yes, to avoiding responsibility for anything is done wrong. Blame others, Lie and keep stating that lie to convince others, file motions and extensions – as long as you can, to avoid court decision that most likely would be against you. And, at all cost – avoid ever apologizing or taking responsibility for anything bad that is done.

No, to any judge or prosecutor that opposes their ideas, or decides in a way that they do not agree with. Then, threaten those with impeachment as the means of punishing them for not ruling in his favor.

Yes, to siding with the dictator of Russia, and refusing to acknowledge that it was Russia NOT Ukraine that started the war. Are you kidding me?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keSxkTL-p9o

When the Judicial system needs an enforcement support staff because court orders are ignored, and demands for impeachment result whenever a decision that opposes the choices being made by the President, the country is in deep trouble.

This is NOT a political problem anymore. This clearly goes far beyond what our long established democracy was established to be.

This is clearly a total lack of respect for the Constitution and everything that occurred to establish it. We are in uncharted waters now.

With NO one except ourselves to blame.

If you voted for him because of what you thought would be a “conservative” approach, it should be pretty clear now that it is far more radical than anything ever attempted before.

Frankly, this is exactly how Civil Wars are created.

When a group of citizens are so opposed to the form of government that is being forced upon them, that they completely lose faith in the process, the foundational beliefs, the leadership (or lack there of ) and a balance between those in power and those being over powered that no other course of action will suffice.

Wake up.

if you don’t think this could happen, you are as wrong as everyone that thought the 3 equal branches of government would actually work.

It is no big secret that the United States federal debt is at an all-time high.  It has been going up exponentially for years and years. The US paid off all of its debt once, in 1835. When the Civil War happened, the government debt skyrocketed and since then has never looked back. Financing 2 World Wars, a number of recessions, and a pandemic created a very large and growing debt. 

The biggest problem though, is that the US government has taken in less revenue than it spends, year after year. The largest single contributor to revenue is taxes. Federal income taxes and corporate taxes have not kept up. Spending with no limits has occurred on a frequent basis, regardless of which party controlled Congress or the Presidency. Some did better than others, but the situation continues on with no real end in sight.

Nothing being proposed today will change this either. The ideas being brought forth fail to recognize the negative impact that they will have on the debt.  They think by cutting federal spending and raising tariffs, they will somehow reduce the federal debt.

They fail to realize the world has changed and we now live in a very global and intertwined economy. The US debt is financed by the very countries that finance our debt. Tariff wars will not significantly reduce the debt. Tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations will not impact the debt, they will cause it to increase as those breaks only create lost revenue.

The US finances its debt by issuing Treasury Bonds.

Treasury Bonds are sold and promise to pay a higher amount than was paid for them. The interest paid has never failed to be met, making this investment a super stable one. The amount paid varies with a number of factors, but generally it is tied to the value of the US dollar and the strength of the US economy.

Treasury Bonds are bought by a wide variety of purchasers. Twenty percent is currently held by Intragovernmental buyers, while 80% are sold to the public.

About 40% of the public purchasers of US Treasury Bonds is foreign countries. Foreign counties enjoy the stability of a guaranteed return, even if it is lower than riskier investments.

Some countries use the purchase of Treasury Bonds to manipulate the value of their own currency. If the value of the US dollar increases, it has an opposite impact on their own currency. A higher US dollar reduces their currency, thus making the goods that they make less expensive to buyers of those goods. The lower valuation of their currency also allows their economy to thrive as their manufacturing improves and the employment of their people increases, and their economy improves.  So, it makes sense to them to invest in buying US Treasury Bonds and finance our increasing debt.

Of the 80% public owned Treasury Bonds

Japan holds 12.75%

China holds 9%

United Kingdom holds 9%

Luxembourg holds 5%

Cayman Islands holds 4.5%

Switzerland holds 4%

Ireland holds 4%

Canada holds 3.8%

Brazil holds 3%

By some estimates, the US dollar has been “overvalued” for quite a long time.  It has been blamed for a lack of US manufacturing growth in certain areas.

The balance between financing US debt and controlling the strength of the US currency is not a simple one. We need to continue to find buyers of Treasury Bonds, while keeping the value of our currency from rising higher versus other countries’ currency.

In fact, if the currency of countries that compete with our manufacturing continue to be far lower than the value of the dollar, it would make no economic sense for an company to bring manufacturing back to the United States, unless the cost of labor is substantially reduced from todays cost, and the cost of materials (including transportation and logistics) is reduced also.

The current administration has decided to attack the currency imbalance concern by issuing tariffs against countries on certain material and products.  For tariffs to work the US has to hold the US dollar stable against the foreign currency that they are imposing the tariffs on.

A major problem related to this approach is the retribution of tariffs on the goods and material we export to them. That often mitigates the impact of tariffs on their exports to the US.

The impact of a tariff war on the US is that the consumers in the country will end up paying of the tariffs in the form of higher prices. Higher prices drives inflation up, making everything cost more and more.

Meanwhile, companies will avoid increasing manufacturing in the US, as they wait out the fallout from the rising inflation by laying off the workforce in the US. Jobs will be lost rather than increased. That revenue in the form of income taxes and corporate taxes will be lost too. The administration will continue to lower tax rates for the corporations and the wealthy, while increasing the tax rates on what is left of a quickly disappearing middle class.

The US debt will increase even more, and the US currency will eventually begin to fall as a recession (if not a depression) envelopes the global economy.  The idea that isolationism will somehow save the US from financial ruin, will prove wrong once again.

Tariffs wars are only going to make things worse for everyone. Unless countries want to eliminate currency manipulation and really move to a global free trade economy, where everyone wins and loses together, instead of the current necessity to control currency in order for one country to succeed while others don’t.

The bottom line is that trying to reduce the value of US currency, in order to entice companies to invest in additional manufacturing domestically, is short sighted. The currency valuation is minor in the larger economic picture. The US losing the ability to compete in manufacturing is far more related to the cost of increasing labor. Corporations have for decades sought out the lowest labor costs, shutting down manufacturing in spite of higher logistics and transportation costs. Tariffs are not a deterrent to them, as the cost is simply passed on to the consumer.

What might be a bigger concern is what happens if China simply decides to double down and buys even more US debt (US Treasury Bonds). The Chinese yaun will continue to be deflated in value, and the US dollar will increase in its own valuation.  

The United States dollar is the currency that all other countries are valued against. A strong US economy keeps the dollar value high. It puts the US at a disadvantage for competing against other countries while importing their items, and exporting our items.

When the US dollar too strong, we can buy more – but sell less. If the amount we bought and sold were equal, there would be no difference. But, we currently import more than we export.

Rather than trying to level the playing field using tariffs (that don’t work and only hurt the consumer), why don’t they try creating incentives to corporations that increase exports, and decrease importing goods and material.

Decreasing corporate income taxes should be coupled with the incentives needed to create jobs here, while increasing exports and reducing imports.  Invest here, purchase items made from here, increase capacity and jobs here. Then, enjoy a substantial corporate tax advantage here.

Beware that the mighty US dollar could be replaced by a different monetary standard. Once enough countries have enough of the bullying tactics being used to try and strongarm them into ending the currency manipulation in their favor, they might just walk away or convince others to us their currency as the monetary standard.

China, for instance could find it advantageous to become the new “gold” standard for currency.  If that occurs, the US economy would be on very unstable ground.

The US economy is strong when the US dollar is strong. Unfortunately, when the US dollar is strong it doesn’t make sense for companies to invest in work here and employ more Americans in great paying jobs.

More Americans in great paying jobs helps the incoming revenue needed to offset the spending and keep the debt somewhat under control.

Keep going down the road they are on, and the result might just be – fewer jobs, more inflation, less revenue, and more federal debt – even if they are able to reduce the federal spending by what ends up being just a little bit.

Captains log, Stardate 2272025 –

The ship is battling massive attacks from within.

A madman has convinced some of the crew that he, and he alone, can make the Enterprise great again.

This is the 2nd attempt at overthrowing the officers in charge. The 1st time failed, after enough crew members realized he was incapable of actually handling command and control responsibilities.

This time he has enlisted one of the more affluent technologists and his small army of young geekoids.

They have attempted to take control of the onboard communication and computer systems. We are fighting back as best we can, but time is of the essence.

Please send reinforcements, and people that will stand up to his tyranny.

Enterprise…out.

History was often recorded on Captains logs. The captain’s log was a form of record keeping that was used since the 1st captains sailed the seas in ancient times. The log was used to inform the captains superiors of what was happening on a mission, and to records historical facts for future generations.

Today, our logs are in the form of media and journalism. This is both a blessing and a curse.

Most people may not realize that freedom comes with limitations. We have the freedom of speech protected by the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. We can report and say almost anything we want to, even if it isn’t the truth. There are limitations when it comes to certain areas, but not if the statement is simply mis-leading or different.

Mis-information and the enormous amount of media applications in service today, is unprecedented. At no other time in history has a person been bombarded with news, data, and information. Even those that try to dis-connect might still be impacted, unless they travel to a remote location where satellite and radio waves cannot reach.

With all the choices of information feeds being transmitted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – it is no big surprise that so many people believe things that they hear, even if unsubstantiated.

Many people just don’t know how to research or work at trying to discover alternative viewpoints, or actual facts. To many that is too difficult to do, or they are so enamored with the folks providing the mis-information that they simply choice to believe them without question.

I am thankful to my Mom, because whenever she grew tired of me constantly asking Why? She pointed me to the den/library/dining room where hundreds of books lined the shelves. Where the new monthly encyclopedia, and annual updates resided. Mom told me,”the answers are in those books”, and so – “I should, go find out”.

I spent a lot of time searching for the answer to Why? Sometimes I was successful, but often not to my total satisfaction. I was taught an invaluable lesson. The answer often requires patience and time.

And quite often, along the way – I found that there were multiple answers to the questions. I found out that not everyone had the same opinion, and even when presented the same facts or inconclusive evidence outcomes might be different.

There is a big difference between scientific facts. and opinions. Philosophical, Religious, or Political – opinions are beliefs. Not everyone feels the same way about things.

Scientific facts are proven over time, by experimental results. Physically measured or observed action/reaction based experiments. Supported by the sciences of math, physics, thermodynamics, chemistry, geology, and a myriad of other sciences.

The founding fathers of the United States referred to our independence as one of the greatest social experiments know to mankind. Where as, after decades and centuries of people being governed by tyranny, they would attempt to create a “more perfect union, one that was by the people, and for the people”.

The democratic republic that was created so long ago, is now under attack from within. The rich want not economic superiority, but also political power over the majority of normal middle and lower income citizens.

Captains log…Stardate tomorrow

I pray democracy survives. Please send help!

So, Elon Musk shows up at the very 1st Cabinet meeting of the Trump administration and when introduced he says to the Cabinet members – Okay, 1st things 1st – Everyone, take out a piece of paper and write down 5 things that you did last week, and if you don’t, we will take that as your resignation.

Don looks at him and laughs, until Elon says – that means you too, dummy.

I think the future T.V. mini-series is going to be riveting.

Why do I feel that somehow I fell into an alternate reality?

This is exactly why, you do not try to run the government like it is a business. It just doesn’t and cannot work the same way. Different goals and objectives that are not based on Business principles.

The American people are stupid, or at least approximately half of the voting population was. The rest of the world laughs and we look like the idiots that we are.

Every morning I wake up and read about a new moronic idea that is being touted to save money and be more efficient, with little to no actual proof that the dumb assed idea will save more than it will cost. When I say cost, I include all the social upheaval, and non-monetary impact of disenfranchising civil servants, and benefactors alike.

I only hope that in just under 2 years, enough folks that bought his lies wake up and help eliminate any politician that didn’t have the balls to stand up for what is right for fear of being “primaried” out of office. Those folks that bent the knee and kissed the ring need to go, one way or another.

We do not need a king, or a tyrant to run this country. We need a person that really believes the Constitutional meaning of “by the people, and for the people”.

The 5 things I suggest everyone do is

1. Read the Bill of Rights
2. Make sure your spouse has everything she will need to re-register to vote
3. Write to your Congress person and demand that they protect your rights, and hold the Executive branch accountable, and Stand by the Separation of Powers.
4. Speak up, share ways to make people understand that their voices need to be heard
5. Stop supporting the Companies and Corporations that do not believe in Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion, especially any owned by Elon Musk.
