Just Sayin

  Trump needs to put up or shut up. He and his minions need to show proof, that there was enough malfeasance in the past election to change the outcome. Just saying there is fraud, and producing affidavits is not enough. Proof that refutes the fraud, is just as prevalent as proof that supports it. So we are at the point where there needs to be proof beyond reasonable doubt. The narrative that the state election commissions violated the law in changing the rules is disingenuous one, because that is for the state to decide, not Trump or the government. If the state Supreme court says it was legal, then it is legal, and the SCOTUS has no jurisdiction. SCOTUS doesn't have a jurisdiction in election disputes, just fact v. law. That is how it has been, for 240 plus years before Trump misused, and abused the SCOTUS and the courts for his own benefit. The states have decided, that the vote was fair, in Georgia they counted the vote 3 times. The states themselves have deemed the election go...

  As you all know, I am, at times a hard, harsh, unforgiving, individual. In other words a hard case. Having been this way for some 48 of my 56 years, I have learned a thing or two about being that way. I learned if I were going to fight, no matter if the cause was right or wrong, then I had to accept the consequences whatever they were, no exceptions. To not whine about the consequences, because no one cares, and I brought it on myself. I learned that I would have to pay a cost in interpersonal relationships, meaning that some would not like, or tolerate my attitude. I did not care, and I was the way I had to be. I have always been responsible for the consequences of my words and actions, without exception. The fault was, is and always be mine. I hold people, especially politicians, to that same standard. The people who entered the Capitol illegally, during that January insurrection, and attempted coup, now have to face the consequences, of their words and actions. Losing jobs, be...

  For the record, what Sen. Cruz, and Sen Hawley did was called dissent, dissent is lawful in our country. So, not seating any Senators who participated, censure, or expulsion is inappropriate, and wrong. Cruz and his colleague’s voiced their dissent in the proper manner. Those at the Capitol on Wed, did not voice their dissent in the proper manner, at least not in a civilized society. Those at the Capitol will get their hands slapped, and Cruz et al; will get a hammered in a court of law, and public opinion, and that is the travesty, as it should be the other way around. The rule of law is the proper way to voice dissent, not sedition and insurrection. I, in no way agree with the way Cruz went about it. What I do agree with is that there is a problem. So what we need to do is solve the problem NOW, not near another, or after another election. There is going to have to be compromise, and that compromise is going to have to be hammered out in the coming months, weeks, and years. W...

  In may 2020 I believed that the scientific community would develop a vaccine from scratch for the Covid 19 virus, before the end of 2020. Some 8 months. Everyone, including smarter people advised me that the vaccine would not be available until June of 2020. I was optimistic and had faith, with no empirical evidence, other than a gut feeling. I questioned how the vaccine was going to be distributed. I questioned the logistics of the distribution.  I questioned how the government, or the pharmaceutical company or whoever was going to distribute the vaccine in an efficient manner. I pointed out both the mitigating and aggravating factors of the distribution process. At the time I didn't factor all of the elements, which has exacerbated the distribution.  I first suggested that we use the National and Air Guard of each state. That was to secure the chain of custody, and to facilitate the continuity. I suggested we put the vaccine in one central spot; like a secure Guard Ar...

 There was a time when I so disliked the Bush family. My dislike stemmed from HW and his stupid policy of kicking disabled people off of Social Security, so as to make it more solvent. His policy dictated that my 56 year old father who had a degenerative auto immune disease, and was missing his entire right wrist. Later on he would have elbow replacement surgery, the second one ever done. They made my disabled father go back to work, while he fought the government. It pissed me off. The subsequent years of work, shortened his life span bby ten or so years. I never did like HW much anyway. anyway. Then along comes W, his son as President. W then tried to do the same thing his father did, only to me. He started trying to privatize social Security, thus keepin the money I had put in up to that point, which was about 20 years or so of working and paying into. That pissed me off. So along comes the recession he caused, and again, I am the one who pays, and gets nothing. That never ...

  What happened at the Capitol on January 6,2021, was an attempted insurrection by seditious thugs, and lawless pigs, posing as Americans. It was spurred on by one traitor, talking to more.   This is worse than Portland.  I never condoned anything done in Portland, and I would have called out the guard on those Antifa assholes. I careless about what happens in Oregon, I live in Arizona. I stay here, they stay there,  I don't tell them how to do their business, and vice versa. What happened was an attack on my country. An attack on the very root of our system. It was an attack on all of us. Spurred in by a seditious entitlement baby,  that just needs to go away, before he does harm so bad that we can't walk it back. He was a mental midget before, and he has deteriorated to the point of no return to normalcy, either Trump normalcy, or societal normalcy.

  Statesman On Wednesday December the Twenty Sixth Two Thousand and Six the United States lost a statesman, and the world lost one of the finer human beings in its midst. The death of the Thirty–Eighth President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford. Ford ascended to the Presidency in a time of Constitutional upheaval, and political uncertainty never seen in the United States before or since. In the course of doing what he saw as his duty to himself, his God, and his country, he started being a leader; he made unpopular decisions for the good of his country and Constitution. Mr. Ford did this with an unassuming grace very seldom seen in politics. For those qualities of leadership, the United States will be forever grateful.    As Vice President of the United States, Spiro T. Agnew, resigned amidst allegations of corruption and President Richard M. Nixon himself under close scrutiny because of the Watergate break-in, the United States House of Representatives chose...

We are at a watershed moment in our history. Tomorrow, Vice President Mike Pence will have a choice, a choice between loyalty to President Donald Trump, and loyalty to our Constitution, and our country. President Gerald Ford had the same choice, after the resignation of President Nixon. He had a choice of whether to pardon Nixon, or not. Choice one is pardon him and lose votes when he runs for President. By pardoning Nixon, the entire Watergate issue goes away, and the country can go on with out the corruption from and center in an embarrassing way. Which was good for the country. or Two, he could not pardon him, and prolong the issue until the middle of the next decade, in court. Ford chose to save the country further embarrassment. In doing so, he gambled his political future that the voters would be o with it. Come 1976 they were not. Ford did what was good for the country, knowing it may cost him. He did it anyway, that is a statesman. No other politician, in the last half of the...
