VERY SAD SCENES

I watched the televised mayhem all night and was horrified and depressed over what I saw.

Like a spark, the Floyd murder in Minnesota caused an explosion of violence and property destruction. Peaceful protests quickly devolved into rioting and looting. In many neighborhoods the police and fire departments were missing. Some local leaders announced curfews, but failed to enforce their directives.

It is shameful that small business owners in areas pillaged quickly lost the dream of their lifetime efforts to secure economic independence. It is deplorable that law abiding citizens lost their neighborhoods and now must face plummeting values for their homes. Blocks and blocks of commerce and homes randomly sacked and torched and to what end ?

The orgy of hate and destruction makes no sense. Other than loot, did the rioters save or improve anyone's life ? On a few rare occasions when a reporter asked a demonstrator for an explanation the result was a flurry of shouted old clichés, curse words, and middle fingers.

The riots of 2020 are nothing new. The same senseless behavior has been repeated too many times in too many places over the last fifty years. I suspect it's not solely because of an outrageous and illegal act by a policeman or civilian. America has been wracked by a silent and more deadly enemy than the Corona Virus and it may be us.

I believe the fury and passion boiling over from many riotous participants stems from a breakdown in families, churches, and government. The rotting away of common codes of acceptable behavior has happened as government replaced families and churches in many communities. When jobs are replaced by government handouts and fatherless families become the new family model, society begins to fall apart. When education is replaced by materialism and self gratification, the common moral code of right and wrong, which binds society, frays. Far too many young people spawned in places devoid of values live in a world of hopelessness, ignorance and poor self esteem.

Government which governs using emotion, political correctness and polling numbers for direction has replaced the firm ground of government based on established laws and the constitution. America is dividing into two different spheres and its a damn shame. I pray our political, cultural, and religious leaders heal the wounds that divide us.

  

AMERICA BEYOND THE PANDEMIC AND 2020 ELECTION

In the not too distant future when the pandemic is a bad memory and the democrat/media cartel has been neutered by the 2020 election, what goals will brighten our horizon ?

A few suggestions for President Trump and a hopefully freshened republican controlled Senate and House of Representatives:

1. Within reason, set America on a course to never again depend heavily on another nation for any product or service. Establish fresh trade arrangements with our historic allies and any new trading partners who favor capitalism and a free market. Establish "made in America" our new slogan as we rush to full employment and a thriving economy again.

2. Begin the difficult process of term limits for Congressional members. Our national legislature, for too long, has become a rest home for career politicians and their lobbyist handlers and bureaucratic masters of inertia and obstruction. If the executive branch is limited to two terms, why not Congress ?

3. Get the national government out of the postal, transportation and land ownership business. Private carriers have proven to be far more efficient with mail and packages than the USPS. Our rail system under Amtrak is decades behind the speed and efficiency of rail systems in Europe and Japan. Our highways are a mess. The Interstate System of the Eisenhower Administration desperately needs repair, modernization and expansion. Our air and cruise line terminals need modernization and enhancements to better accommodate domestic and foreign travelers. The direction of The Bureau of Land Management and other agencies which control vast swathes of America must be overhauled. Millions of acres of idle land controlled by the federal government is actually the property of every citizen and should be designed for responsible private ownership, recreational and business use.

4. Keep the military top drawer, but avoid military adventurism, world policing or war unless Congress approves same. Press ahead vigorously with initiatives to explore distant planets and outer space.

5. Continue to secure our borders. Restrict immigration to individuals and families who follow immigration laws and are willing to pledge allegiance to the United States.

6. Stay strong with the Constitution and never again allow politicians to restrict our sacred freedoms of speech, religion or assemblage no matter what the real or perceived danger.

7. Make it abundantly clear that we are a nation of law and order. Despite blue state mayors and governors, better serve citizens by quelling violent civil disorder of rioting, looting, burning, violence against the police, and the destruction of public and private property. 

  

WHO LOVES JOE BIDEN ?

EVIDENTLY,  NO ONE LOVES OR GIVES A DAMN ABOUT JOE BIDEN THE HUMAN BEING !

For God's sake, doesn't anyone love Joe Biden enough to talk him down from his embarrassing and ill fated run for the White House ?

Isn't their an honest family member, close friend or lifetime political pal that can ease Joe to a respectful retirement ?

In recent basement and studio telecasts his mind is obviously wandering. Repeatedly, he has failed to  utter a meaningful sentence or paragraph with any coherence or accuracy.

He has become a sad spectacle and given his many decades of service to the country it seems someone should care enough to help him make a graceful exit from politics.

I'm a political conservative and disagree with everything Joe Biden represents and has represented politically throughout his career. However, I believe it is cruel for his family, friends and political colleagues to allow him to sputter along knowing full well his mental acuity will likely decline further with the stress of a run for the presidency.

Are the democrat party bosses so heartless as to play this poor man while calculating a politically correct running mate to be the first female president ?

Whether your politics are right, left or somewhere in the middle, it seems an easy call to retire Joe Biden respectfully while he struggles through the final lap of his political career.

   

DON'T ALLOW THE LIBERAL MEDIA (4TH ESTATE) TO SET OUR NATIONAL AGENDA

When a majority of people prefer emotional rather than reasoned explanations for complicated situations and when most people are entertained more by shiny bits of fantasy than fact based news, our national course will definitely lead us to further losses in personal and economic liberties.

As long as the liberal print and digital media companies have advertisers and subscribers they will continue their relentless assault on traditional American values. Our constitutionally guaranteed rights are at jeopardy when state governors, using the pandemic as an excuse, eagerly and severely restrict our rights. Sadly and in my opinion, too many citizens comply without questioning or offering more than a whimper of serious protest.

Has any real investigative journalist in Virginia researched and reported the true number of corona deaths from senior care facilities in relation to the total deaths statewide ? What is the per capita incidence of death or hospitalization by city, county and town in the Old Dominion ? How does that justify a complete state shutdown of business and entertainment facilities when framed with the total populations of the specific areas ? Did Governor Northam's edicts surpass established law and common sense ? 

On a national level why do the big television networks and major national newspapers, along with all their local affiliates, tend to trumpet doom and gloom ?  Are we being scared out of a robust economy for  political reasons ? Why do so many local and national politicians push for big government payouts to keep businesses closed and workers sheltered at home ? Did the democrats and Biden/Harris use fears of the Chinese virus to win the 2020 election. 

We all need and seek information. However, I believe the largely liberal fourth estate is doing it's best to set the agenda and fundamentally change America. Their goal is to reshape our nation into a place run more by unelected government agents and lobbyists where elected officials are subservient to establishment moneyed individuals and organizations . They want a population more dependent on government handouts than jobs and independent businesses. Their ultimate aim is to disarm citizens, close churches while keeping liquor stores open, celebrate abortions, allow millions of illegal immigrants, strip us of our recently won energy independence, allow unions to poorly educate our students, unleash executive orders and legislation which weakens our Constitutional rights,  and establish a new economic and social order that prints ration stamps and devalued currency for toilet paper, fresh meats, milk, eggs and all other essential products and services. Essentially, big government wants more and more welfare to enslave citizens and their votes.

In step with leading democrat/socialist national politicians and cultural icons, the fourth estate is winning the war to make the United States something very different from what our forefathers brilliantly outlined  in our Constitution. We must reject the censor/cancel culture epidemic and work very hard to re establish our independence. 

DO SOMETHING TO EFFECT CHANGE !
