4th of July!
It's Thursday and it's the 4th of July! It's been 248 years since this nation was created, if one takes 1776 as the date of creation. And in 1814 the poem featuring the line 'the rockets' red glare, and the bombs bursting in air' over Fort McHenry during the battle of Baltimore was published by Francis Scott Key. This poem became the Star Spangled Banner. So that's 210 years old. And our enemy at the time, the United Kingdom, is now our best bud as we take over (took over) its role as the english-speaking Empire leader!

Maybe we really do have the candidates we deserve

After giving it some thought I've come to the conclusion that the presidential debate kind of does represent our political establishment. Sure, the American people deserve better than this, but this isn't about the American people. This is about our political system and our political system is hopelessly broken.
So watching a geriatric lifetime politician debate a professional conman felon is an accurate reflection of our political system.

I hope you all see the implications of what you are doing!

Should you fail to vote for joe Biden, the savior of democracy, the effects will be disastrous. Not the least repercussion will be 4 years of Russiagate 2.0. Imagine Rachael Maddow and Noted Expert on Russian Election Interference-HER alternating 24-7 on all mainstream media. Do you think you can handle that? Even if you could, would you want to? And what about the children? Think about the children.

That's all (folks).

Open Letter to Democrats

Friends, can we have a word? I think you know what this is about. All you Republican voters y'all go outside and play now, this doesn't concern you.

Former Democratic friends (in which 'former' refers to my voter registration and not our friendship), I wasn't going to say anything about this, but something Rep. James Clyburn said on Sunday has pushed me over the edge.
