Trump's Plan To Steal The Election


 

Trump has called a number of State's official according to reports, asking them to override the 2020 election which he lost to President Elect Joe Biden using whatever means necessary and has been rebuffed as what he is asking is against the law coming very close to sedition.



I have been warning that Trump was planning a coup and it sure looks like that's what is happening. But the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray and pray God  this is what happens now but if left to the Republican party and most of it's members it will succeed as they are doing nothing to stem the attack against our Democracy.



The time is short before Trump finally incites something like civil war there fore the leaders of our country and the voters too must do all in their power to thwart such an effort, no violence but everything short of that is needed. 



Wake up America before it is too late.

Vote Biden/Harris

As of this date October 30, 2020 Covid-19 is spiking all over the world including the United States of America.  President Trump is holding campaign rallies which are turning into super spreaders because people are turning out in great numbers supporting him.


Trump and his supporters, family, Fox News personalities such Hannity, Carlson Ingram, Fox Friends are spreading false information that is in direct opposition to the scientific conclusions supported by rising data of increasing infections, hospitalizations and deaths.


Despite Trump's horrific handling of this pandemic he is strongly supported by Republican political allies such as Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell and William Barr.



It is time America to soundly reject Trump and his cohorts before America is completely destroyed by them! Vote Biden/Harris and flip the Senate because the Republican Senators are complicit in the support of Trump's terrible policies which are far too many to list but one of which is the horrific immigration stunt of taking children away from their parents and never getting many of them back together and of course the maddening rush into the teeth of the pandemic never caring that he is a super spreader causing illness and death.

                                                            

                                                              VOTE BIDEN/HARRIS!

Peaceful Transfer Of Power


Trump has made it clear that he will attempt to keep the Presidency at all means regardless of the will of the people as expressed by their vote. 


He is preparing to do this in real time right before our eyes hiding nothing. He intends to use the courts, the constitution, our antiquated electoral system and violence if necessary. He has said this openly so no one should be surprised.


The question is what will be done, if anything, to prevent the takeover of our government? The people in power can act in ways to prevent this but won't because they are afraid of failure and the consequences of such failure. However, we the people need heroes who move for the good of all not for the good of a select few.  The time to act is now, vigorously with determined purpose.  If no one steps up Trump can turn us, with the support of elected Republicans, into a banana republic. 



Words mean nothing without actions. Trump must not be allowed to succeed. Our present day Lincolns, Roosevelts and Obamas must step forward without delay.

The Republicans Cult of Trump

 


This isn't a religious cult but it is close. It is a personality cult! Which in many ways is just as dangerous maybe even more so than a religious cult. The following are some telltale signs that explain how the reader can tell that the Republican Party is the cult of Trump.



(1) Trump is their leader attempting to be one without accountability which means he is their absolute and only authority. 

(2) Trump doesn't want any inquiry except those that support him.



(3) Trump has paranoid thoughts of people conspiring against him while he conspires against his opponents.

(4) Trump is always correct even when it is obvious he is wrong which causes him to lie repeatedly expecting and getting his followers to believe or defend his position.



(5) Trump demands complete loyalty at all costs even to the exclusion of basic reality, which his followers give him.

(6) Those who escape the cult are always wrong, stupid or evil according to Trump even though they have proof of his incompetence and their stories are provable. Those remaining in the cult defend Trump to their detriment.



(7) Trump rejects science if the scientific conclusion seems to poorly affect his political position. 



(8) Trump refuses to reveal his Tax returns, seemingly uses his position to increase his wealth, asks all to accept his word that he's done nothing wrong ever even though he has been named as a coconspiritor in one case, been impeached, and is a subject of another criminal investigation regarding his company which he has refused to divest himself of any interest using something like a blind trust.

(9) Trump lashes out at anyone he considers to be an enemy following what seems to be mob rule.

(10) Despite all this those remaining in the cult support Trump even to the losing of credibility in all things reputation in shatters. One author, Rick Wilson wrote a book  titled "Everything Trump Touches Dies". 



So on voting day in Nov. think carefully Republicans! Will you be voting for a person representing a political party or voting to support a cult?

Wake Up America! Stop The Forces At Work To Take Away Our Democracy!



Representative James Clyburn has it right, one of the few in a position to do anything about it, when he says that Trump has no intention of leaving the Presidency if he loses the election in November 2020 or when his term runs out if he wins. He will never leave and is preparing to stay in office through a coup supported by people in power like A. G. Barr and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. 


Rep. Clyburn isn't mincing words as he says Trump will undermine our democracy by attempting to install himself as President for life! Trump's supporters are greedily holding on to power while our present day Nero fiddles as Rome burns because power lets them increase their wealth position while the rest of us not in power flounder. Trump does not want to leave office because of the many legal problems which will confront him when he becomes just another citizen of this great country not the least of which revolves around his dealings with Deutsche Bank, Germany and his involvement with Putin, Russia.


Rep. Clyburn is a courageous person who says it like it is. There are many more who feel the same way but remain silent especially because of the way the impeachment trail was mishandled so badly. Now they are waiting for the November elections to bail them out but this may be too little too late.


We need those who can move a nation to step up and use all their gifts to make certain to make sure this nation doesn't fall to this Demigod and we remain on the course to make this nation, "A more perfect union", a great Democracy.  Step up America!

July 27, 1957 (7/27/57)



July 27, 1957 was a hot Saturday. They were getting married at a Nuptial Mass at 9 AM . Then off to the restaurant in Port Washington with a sliding roof, called, The Riviera, for Breakfast then the reception at 1 PM. As she entered the church he thought she is as beautiful as ever, in today's terms, she was very hot! It was to be a small gathering with close relatives and friends totaling 85 people. The ceremony went well with only one glitch, if one could call it that, her father was standing on her gown's train so after he kissed her he didn't move and she couldn't get to his side which caused him to laugh, controlled,  but laugh he did.


After the ceremony they had the breakfast and looked out upon the water of the bay which boarded The Riviera. The reception started right on time and they had their first dance together as Mr. and Mrs. The four piece band was one he used when he was playing his trumpet for a living so they surprised him by bringing his trumpet so he danced yes, but he also played some sets and he also managed to insult the photographer   so that he left after taking enough pictures or so he thought. The guests were wonderful. The roof was rolled back and the sky shone overhead and being next to the water the cool breeze was delightful. They left around 4 PM as they had to go to Miami for their honeymoon, then to the Army base where he was stationed in Georgia. They lived off base at 79 B Baker Village.


As he reflected on this day of July 27, 2020, some 63 years after it it all started, he could only reflect on how much has happened in those years. Most if not all of the guests were gone. She left him, passing on, some 12 years ago. after a long deliberating battle with Alzheimer's. But while everyone from that eventful day was gone many more were added. They had 7 children, some of whom married and had children, 10 to be exact. Three married and have produced two great-grandchildren and one is waiting to tie the knot this coming November. New friends, new family all replacing the ones who had passed on. Their children were truly the gift of their union, a treasure that was immeasurable, truly a treasure worth all the gold in the world and then some.
 

For a while he grieved deeply not only for her passing but for her illness which robbed her of her life, her dignity, her ability to function even at the simplest levels. But he soon realized that the life lived was just that, something of the past that lived no more except in the memories of those who wanted to remember. It was time to move on and start to live again, not stay in the past but get into the "now", the present. He got together with old friends from his childhood, volunteered and was busy, that was it, "busy" not living, not enjoying. Then through social networking he met an old friend who he hadn't seen in a quarter of a century. They met. They hit it off. They fell in love. But Sinatra is wrong, Love The Second Time Around is not the best, it is good but young love building a life together savoring the first kiss living the dream then fighting the battles is something that can't be duplicated. But as one grows old it is realized that all experiences are good but not all are the best just different. The point is July 27, 1957 will always be there to be enjoyed and the love remains. But life is to be lived and that's
what he will do until the time comes for the next experience. .

Trump & Pence Worst Leaders EVER!!!



Our lead scientists in the USA and in the world have been very strong in saying wearing facial coverings, MASKS, saves live by helping to keep Covid-19 from spreading.  Yet the President & Vice President keep appearing in public settings of all kinds without any facial coverings nor do they strongly advise the citizenry to wear them. 


The fact of the matter is they by example are advising the citizenry NOT to wear masks. As far as it goes they even promote rally's indoors without social distancing or masks, see Tulsa etc.  claiming some stupid reasoning that people have constitutional rights like public gatherings that cant be suppressed under any circumstances. Which is definitely not true for instance one can drive drunk until caught and then severely fined and maybe even face jail because the drunk driver may and eventually will hurt others even up to taking their lives just like people who congregate indoors in large numbers without face masks because all this leads to sickness and death to society as a whole. I hope you get my drift! 


I won't get into the reasons why they do these things because they always spin the truth whenever they can. But everything I said is what they do which is against the scientific evidence as espoused by their own scientists making them irresponsible and very dangerous leaders as some of their followers will follow them off the edge of the cliff only to find that they won't jump off but don't stop their followers from jumping because that is their constitutional right.


Hopefully the followers of these two will finally come to their senses and start to put the scientific facts ahead of what seems like a cultist leadership.

Trump & Republican Governors Opt For Herd Immunity


I wrote a Blog telling my readers that Trump was opting for Herd immunity as his solution to the pandemic. Ed Adler posted on CNN posted an Opinion column saying the same thing but in much more detail. If you care to look it up many have joined the chorus in saying Trump and his allies really prefer this type of cure as long as it doesn't affect them which raises the question "WHY"?.


The idea is a great deal of the population is not going to die from Covid-19 and the 30% or so that will be affected badly many will die from this virus are not strong contributors to the economic health of the country and will die shortly anyway so why should the strong spend their wealth on the week and elderly who are only a drain on the country in many ways.


Just a few ways to show that this is their mentality is the very fact that the Trump campaign is having those who are coming to the planned campaign rally sign a waiver saying they will not sue or hold Trump responsible if they get ill. 



One other example. Florida is spiking after opening before the figures suggested by the CDC were reaching the prescribed levels. The Governor answered by denying the spike, firing the person in charge of certain figures proving a spike,  and then fudged the figures. He knows this is dangerous but only the old and those with underlying conditions will die in numbers so who cares?



One other thing. Fools like Trump, Spence and many Republican Governors attend gatherings without wearing masks and they never seem to get sick. Why? Shouldn't somebody get affected? I wonder what they have that protects them because social distancing, wearing masks doesn't they refuse to wear them. They say they get tested regularly but testing is not prevention. What is their secret? I wonder. In March of this year some staff members of Trump and Spence were reported as testing positive yet with all these disregards of Masks etc. we haven't heard of anyone testing positive or falling ill. 


Come on reporters of our Free Press do some digging and reporting much is "UP" in suppressing numbers and facts find them out and report it all without biases, just the facts that's all, JUST THE FACTS.

Trump Dictator In Waiting!


Many pundits are openly confused about Trump's position about opening the country while in the middle of one of the worst pandemics this country has ever faced.


He's concerned about the economy tanking more than the health advisors  claims that a premature opening would cause a greater health crisis. The health care system would collapse and many would needlessly die.

It seems obvious that Trump doesn't care for in his mind the deaths would weed out those who are physically weakest and others who are imprisoned. It gets rid of the drain on the economy such as the residents in nursing homes who are the oldest and weakest and all those on medicaid as well as those in jails and are convicted felons. The weakest, most draining of the country's wealth would be removed leaving the youngest, strongest, most productive to help produce greater wealth.  The herd immunity concept for in his mind they were going to die soon anyway.


That's the plan, Trump would be re-elected taking full control of the country dipping into the honey pot because if things are going so well isn't he entitled to a taste? Then he could manipulate the laws along with his Roy Cohen's help, to stay in office until death perhaps passing the throne to one of his idiot kids.


The Trump supporters might wake up too late to stop this but then many of them would be dipping into the honey pot also leaving the country to die never fulfilling it's promise of "Life, Liberty and Justice For all"!

Thoughts About Growing Old(er)


When I was pre teen years I wanted to get into the teens as quickly as possible. In my generation the thought was to get freedom, from most of all mom and dad. This drive only became stronger when we became teenagers. Then almost suddenly by the time we were 18 or so we found that mom and dad let us go, that is as long as we didn't do anything that brought shame to our family. We got jobs, met young ladies, went into the armed services through the draft and married when we got out. Imagine, by the time a guy was 22 or 23 and the gal was 19 or 20 they were on their own, with some help from mom and dad but for the most part they had to be the masters of their own ship and the crew members were 3, 4 or 7 or 12 kids. It took a little over 2 decades or a little less than 2 decades and we were sailing our own ships just like mom and dad and all our relatives. Yep that's right we were grown up.


Then our kids grew up just as fast and lived their own lives and suddenly we were grandparents then we got older and one of us succumbed to the pains of living a long life and now one was left to grow old (er) by themselves. For me the best time of my life wasn't only one era but many. The joys of playing the trumpet, the experience of my wife and me kissing for the first time, our chikldren being born healthy and growing up being a pain in the ass just like I was to my mom (never my dad he just seemed confused by me). Or a solitude moment when I was walking guard duty in Georgia, 3rd. Infantry Division, Fort Benning and I took a moment and stopped in my tracks and looked up at the clear night sky and saw all the stars bright against the night's sky, just beautiful. Being a New Yorker I don't think I ever saw such nighttime beauty like that and I'll never forget it.


Now that I am getting real old I am not sure how it'll all end but reflecting back it was a great ride. I do regret that no one really sees the guy who lives inside of me anymore all they see is this guy who walks slower, a little bent over who still likes the beauty of a woman, a good steak and a good shot of Scotch. Looking in the mirror that's all I see so I try not to look in mirrors unless I have to instead I just close my eyes and remember, remember that beautiful gal who loved me and I loved her and the wonderful life we had even though it had rough spots but then that's what made the smooth spots that much smoother. By the way I wouldn't want to end this thoughtful essay without giving a shout out to my God, Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit and my Guardian Angel and Patron Saints without whom I could have never got this far, the details of which could be the subject of a good movie.
