And now for something completely different...The Revolution has begun





And now for something completely different….The Revolution has begun.

 We've heard enough about the angry white voters who put Trump in. Now, there's another story to tell. Not only of the Bernie supporters and the minorities in this country, but the rest of the Democratic base that has seen dissatisfaction in the rank and file and a growing split in the party loyalty. If the left isn't united to face what is coming, and we know there is a storm coming that will hit like a Tsunami, then we will always be on the losing side. The message isn't simply about change. It's a message of hope and optimism that has been the story of America. It was Reagan's story. It was Obama's story. That was the message that we fought and the one we hoped would prevail. Hillary said, "He's shown us who he is, now we have to show the world who WE are." We did.

 We heard Hillary talk of Love trumping hate and being Stronger Together. And then there was Trump. The Dark side of the Force has won. Not only Trump, but dark money in politics. The politics of division and hate. Of Us vs Them and the otherness of America. The underlying message of racism and bigotry that was implicit in each large rally Trump held. And the group of men with deplorable morals and temperament who surround Trump. John Cleese likened them to a gang of pirates. They have control of our government. The Revolution was something to talk of as a metaphorical event that was needed to change America. Well, my friends, the Revolution has begun.

 The mantra on the street is "Not my President!" It should be added, with each problem dropped into our national discussion with each passing day that Trump rules, it should be added that "it's not my problem". Surely, it's America's problems that we must deal with as a country together. But the shit storm that is unleashed with this election should also include the following: The Media was culpable for much of the rise of Donald Trump. The Right wing did its part through their unrelenting messages of hate and division that worked against Obama and all other candidates to bring them down.

 The FBI and the KGB-Putin partnership helped to bring this election to this conclusion. And the final nail in the coffin was an uninformed Electorate and the angry voters who wanted to blow up the government with Trump. They got their wish and it should be noted that Trump lost the popular vote. Half the country wanted a different outcome. And they feel he's not their president, and it's not their problem. It is indeed America's problem, but be careful what you wish for. The Revolution has begun.

Making America Great Again....Really

The MAGA mantra is a lie…They didn’t vote to make America GREAT again but instead to blow up the system….Not all of the people who voted for the MAGA slogan still believe it will become true. There is too much solid evidence of the hollowness of the promises. Mexico is not paying for a wall, and we don’t have a better health system than the ACA that helps people with pre-existing conditions. The actual components of what it would take to make America Greater still are just not there. Making American Great again would entail working together to create a better health care system for all that would include those with pre-existing conditions. Making America Great Again would mean working on infrastructure to make America a showcase that is the envy of the world.  Making America Great would mean working to be a global leader in NATO and with our allies to not only create peaceful solutions in existing conflicts, but also to work to prevent conflicts and to bu...

Barbaric Acts in the Modern Age and the Appalling Sound of Silence

Why would any group choose to behead someone? In the 21 st Century,  the words barbarians and beheadings should both be viewed as arcane language. Instead, we see South and Central American drug cartels plus groups of extremists fighting in the Middle East using beheadings as a frequent and popular method of murder. For those of us living in the relative shelter and peace of the Continental United States, it’s hard to fathom the black hole of hatred and darkness seen and used by these people. Why do they behead people? One clue concerning the Islamic extremists leads us to the time of Mohammed. Even in the prophet’s time, (570 AD to 632 AD), he was condemned for an act of violence which left seven-hundred Jewish men beheaded at the siege of Banu Qurayza. In certain parts of Italy and in the U.S., the Mafia and drug cartels of South America use beheadings to serve as warnings to those who would stand in their way. Sadly, we probably have not reached the end of this appall...
