Bye Bye USA

The America I learned about in school and grew up admiring and eventually serving in the United States Army is being destroyed and I can't understand why those with political, judicial and/or military authority are just standing by and letting it happen.

There's absolutely no doubt we have an unhinged, egomaniacal crazy person leading the country. What's worse, he's got dozens of ignorant, spineless, greedy minions who are willing to do his bidding without question or hesitation. Every word that comes out of this fool's mouth is a lie. He's so full of himself, he's created this alternate reality. It's bad enough to listen to him spew this bullshit on a daily basis, but it's unfathomable to me how anyone in their right mind would support this craziness. People are selling their country down the river just to be part of the crazy circus in power right now.

I get it; our electoral system is antiquated and broken. The fact that we re-elected a convicted felon who already showed his true colors in his previous stint as president is all the evidence you need that something is broken and not working according to plan. And I understand that majority of the people who voted for this fool were pretty much clueless. This is what happens when you put political parties above people. It's not a big shock. But I am shocked that there are no truly brave and noble patriots (and I'm using 'patriot' here in the truest sense of the word) in the higher echelons of our government who want to put a stop to this madness. By now I would've imagined that a group of sane people would've come together and put plans in place to forcibly remove this dangerous, deranged menace along with all his ass-kissing cronies. Yeah, I realize what I'm saying here. But it's obvious the traditional methods of getting things hashed out in government aren't going to work here. This fool doesn't play by rules; he makes up his own as he goes along. He and his gang are spinning an alternate reality and talking and doing some really crazy shit! People's lives are being destroyed! The CIA took out President Kennedy for much more dubious reasons. 

I guess the only conclusion I can draw is that money and power are the end-all, be-all in our country these days. To hell with integrity, honor, liberty, justice, equality, and democracy. Who needs all that if you've got loads of money and power?!

In the grand scheme of things, 250 years isn't a bad run for a democracy. It was pretty sweet while it lasted. What comes next is anyone's guess. Is it possible to undo all this malfeasance and get back to ideals this country was founded upon? Yeah, I guess it's possible. But it ain't gonna be an easy ride getting back there. Buckle up.

How about now? Now can we have justice?

 I sat in awe as I watched Cassidy Hutchinson testify before the January 6th Committee yesterday and paint a vividly clear picture of what was going on in Trump World before, during, and after January 6, 2021. Ms. Hutchinson was the proverbial fly on the wall throughout this entire saga and provided first-hand accounts of what was said and what was done -or rather not done- during this tragic day in America's history. She was physically there when all of it unfolded. I can't imagine the soul-searching it must have taken for her to finally come to terms with the fact that she was playing for the wrong team and then  courageously decide to share the truth so the entire country could understand how dangerously close our democracy came to collapsing. After witnessing the grotesque spectacle of a human being that is Donald Trump for way too many years, I was sure that nothing would shock or surprise me when it came to Trump and his enablers and supporters. I was sure of this b...

America: Land of the Knee-Jerk Reactions and One-Size-Fits-All Solutions

Another horrible, senseless school shooting. 19 innocent children dead along with 2 adults; the 18-year-old shooter dead and his grandmother seriously injured after he began his rampage by shooting her in the face. The shooter seems to be an all-too-familiar type; a bullied loner with few or no friends who legally purchased two AR-type assault rifles along with over 300 rounds of ammunition shortly before the shooting. We've seen this detail before too: the shooter posted his intentions on social media prior to carrying out the shooting. While we may have become accustomed to these types of tragedies, most of us are still left feeling like we were sucker-punched in the gut. And we have to deal with all those emotions yet again. Shock, horror, profound sadness, anger, fear, futility, frustration, helplessness. I've experienced all of those over and over again. It keeps on happening and we all keep arguing about how we're going to stop these tragedies from happening. Unfortun...

Gratitude

This Thanksgiving, one word comes to mind for me as a human being: GRATITUDE /ˈɡradəˌt(y)o͞od/   -noun-  the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.  Being thankful -truly thankful- requires a moment of pause, reflection, and introspection. I've come to realize that "happiness" is really just a state of mind. It's a person's ability to take stock of what they have and where they are in life and focus on those things in a positive and thankful manner. Take, for instance, the millions of people around the globe that are living in squalid conditions by most of our standards. They have very little food, clothing, or material possessions. Many lack a decent house, running water, or electricity. Their days are spent working and struggling just to survive another day. But, incredibly, many of these people are quick to smile and laugh. They're generous with what little they have and they are truly thankful for what little ...
