It is a disconcerting time around the world. The USA’s resolve and ability to weather the right wing challenges to truth and democracy are highlighted in the visit of President Macron. Can our NATO partners depend on us to stay the course in Ukraine and in this critical alliance? Tomorrow would be much less certain without a co- ordinated effort to send Russia back to its own borders.
Could Georgia really stand behind an election denier, chronic liar, a person of questionable ethics and morality, who cannot speak in complete sentences, wants to be a werewolf and not a vampire, carries a fake police badge, and may actually live in Texas? Please tell me it is not possible. Our twice impeached and well sued former President hosts a pronounced anti semite and a holocaust denier/white nationalist for a cozy dinner. I tried to discover if Nick Fuentes is actually a Caucasian but names and appearance can be deceptive. Regardless the guy is totally offensive at any level on top of wishing he was Hitler.
What the hell is Elon Musk doing? How could Sam Bankman-Fried lose billions of dollars of his clients money? In a recent interview he revealed he should have spent some time on understanding the risks he was taking. No shit Sherlock. Where were the regulators while all this was happening? Oh yeah, if FTX were regulated like a financial services company, this likely would have been prevented.
Kevin McCarthy is looking to provide QAnon conspiracy theory believer, the person who suggested space age Jewish lasers were going to target Santa Claus to destroy Xmas, and who has not served on a committee or cast a vote over the past two years a role in leading the Republican House. Desperation makes strange political allies, I think the two of them rather deserve each other.
So, you can see why for the reasons mentioned and so many others we live in an uncertain and frightening world dynamic. I take heart in our young leaders, if you missed the interview with the young Captain of our World Cup Football team, Tyler Adams, I encourage you to watch it. After sincerely apologizing for his mis pronunciation of the country, Iran, he clearly answered the loaded question about discrimination against African Americans in the USA. He has experienced discrimination all across the world, in his country he stated we continue to make progress. Slow and halting but if we can protect the democracy, we will surely continue the progress.
We lost Christine McVie this week, the legendary Fleetwood Mac keyboardist, singer and song writer left us a legacy of great song memories. She was a blues singer who brought that passion to rock and roll. Today’s message is intended to bring her spirit to a potential bright future for our country. “If you wake up an don’t want to smile…it takes just a little while…open your eyes and look at the day…You’ll see things in a different way. Don’t Stop Thinking about tomorrow.”
Tomorrow will be left to our children. The famous black orator, Frederick Douglas, gave us the key to the future in l846, “it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” America is a work in progress, lets not leave it to the misdirected agenda folks. Education is our best weapon. Mike
