The War Is Not Over
What The Sheepdog Knows
I am a sheepdog, always vigilant and situationally aware. Saturday when the networks called the election for Biden millions of people across the nation were elated. I get it, the last four years have been like being caught in a never ending nightmare. Most of us are ready to see these dark times come to […]
The Time Is Now
On Sunday mornings I read the news papers. This morning I read an article in the New York Times by Brent Staples. The title of the piece was “A Hero in the Jim Crow Navy”. The Navy was undoubtedly the most segregated branches of the military. When WW II started there was opportunity available to […]
The 25th Amendment
There are some things in life that we are called on to do that define difficult. For the next 73 days America will be called upon to dance on the edge of a razor. Yesterday after days of tumultuous confusion the election was finally called. People took to the streets to celebrate. I understand the […]
Its The Beginning Not The End!
I’m amazed. I just came across a post that said that Biden/Harris proves that America is not a racist country. People said the same thing when Barack Obama was elected. No election will wipe out a 400 year old American legacy. Saying that America is not racist does not make it so. The fact that […]
It’s A Wrap
Dear Donny The people have spoken. You had a good run. You have that rare distinction of joining the pantheon of television hucksters who rose to the highest office in the land. You’re like Humpty Dumpty who sat on a wall,Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.All the king’s horses and all the king’s menCouldn’t put […]
Don’t Take The Bait
The talking heads are saying that Trump will announce that he is the winner tomorrow evening based on early vote count. Make no mistake if this happens it will represent a clear attempt to circumvent the voting process. Trump will be doing this in an attempt to incite civil unrest. Civil unrest will allow him […]
You’ve been Hoodwinked and Bamboozled
Hoodwinked!! Did you know that you had been hoodwinked. Back at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. You were told that Jared Kushner was in charge of putting together a team to handle procurement of necessary supplies. You were led to believe that this team would be composed of people with deep experience in logistics […]
Autocrats Don’t Share Power
How can people be so profoundly stupid?? These right wing hate groups don’t understand that people like Trump are users, they don’t share power. They’re being played for suckers and they don’t see it. This isn’t from a new playbook. On the contrary it’s been around for a while. Hitler used it 87 years ago. […]
The Declaration of Independence And The Insurrection Act
Saturday evening less than 72 hours before the polls close. Insurrection is defined as a violent uprising against an authority or government. The Insurrection act of 1807 authorizes the President to use the US military to put down a violent attack or effort to overthrow the government. This raises two questions that we have never […]
