While the former president perpetuates his attempt to evade the Law . . . and while the MarALago guy continues his campaign to replace our nation’s Rule of Law with his own mob-driven dictatorship . . .
The President who replaced him is working with Congress to convert our national transportation network to 21st-century standards of clean technology. Joe Biden’s hope is entirely consistent with the intentions of our 34th President, when Dwight Eisenhower mustered American productivity into building our interstate highways.
This is progress.
I was a kid in the 1950’s when General Dwight D. Eisenhower, having led our Allied military victory over the nazi/fascist/hirohito dictators, was summoned by We the People to use his unprecedented leadership skills as our President.
Congress passed the Federal Highway Act of 1956, which initiated a state-of-the art automotive pathway to carry out national automotive exports to 20-century progress levels.
Chances are, you and your family have experienced the benefits of our Interstate Highway System.
And now, Congress and President Biden will be taking that progressive surge of American infrastructure to the next level—21st-century standards of energy efficiency and—pardon my french—“green” technology. I put “green” in quotes because I’m a Republican, and in that party, “green” is considered a bad word.
Be that as it may, our nation must move forward, regardless of what trumpian insurrectionists are doing to tear the Republican party and our American Republic.
Because we really are—hate to break it to ya, bubby— filling our formerly pristine atmosphere with carbon that was for billions of years entrapped in earthen soil and rock geology.
Now that we’ve been pumping carbon into air for a hundred years it is high time we start cleaning up the mess. If you’re a trumpian climate denier, just take your ball and go home; find some spilt milk to cry over.
We’ve got work to do.
Now our US infrastructure, partnered with American business, is preparing to to take automotive transportation to the next level of nationally appropriate technology, also known as sustainability.
Our President and Congress–leading our entire nation– can do this. In so doing, our leaders will enable Americans to prolong automotive independence into 21st-century standards of environmental interdependence.
This is a far better thing we do—far better than prolonging the former president’s destructive attempts to abscond our US.gov.
Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of our country.
The problem we are having now goes much deeper than Jan6 destructions and Uvalde eruptions. It goes deeper than red v blue, more pervasive than progressives v conservatives, farther into the depths of human experience and history than the haves and the havenots.
Now we are seeing a fundamental parting of ways between two different people groups, two separate, as it were . . . tribes.
In the original tribe, which goes back to the dawn of human experience, gender identity begins at birth and generally follows a fairly predictable path, according to the person’s family identity, cultural heritage, and of course, whatever is between their legs.
In the revisionist tribe, gender is malleable and self-determined.
In the classic tribe, gender is manifested in each man and woman, at birth.
This fundamental parting of life-identities is at the heart and soul of all other public issues, most especially those decisions about what children are taught in schools.
What children are being taught in public schools about sexual identity is the most divisive controversy in all of history.
This is a cleavage that will not be joined by governments, courts, nor sensitivity sessions, except for possibly resolving a territorial issue every now and then.
Our very limited reconciliatory efforts will all arrive at the same choice: You go your way and We’ll go our way. But don’t mess with our kids.
Any peacemaking between these two camps can be resolved by only one grand fix: Separation, separation of territories, separation of value-systems, religions, churches.
Most important of all is: separation of schools. Along with that scenario we’ll probably find separation of neighborhoods. We may even see separation of states, with each state establishing, by legislation, policies to govern sexual identities.
Red and Blue may have something to with this, but those hues are not the definitive factor.
Progressives establish their cities/communities of blendable sexual identities and practices. The monkeys among them may pox themselves into quarantine quarters.
Traditionals establish their towns and suburbs of men, women, boys and girls.
Primary and Secondary schools will teach according to the prevailing worldview in each community.
And never again shall the ‘twain meet, except maybe passing by on the street, but more likely on the highway. Perhaps you’ll them by their license plates and identity decals.
The way things are going, this scenario is the probable destiny of our United States of America . . . It’s been nice knowin’ ya, nice while it lasted. We had a long run together, but 21st-century changes were just too much for the sex-traffic to bear.
When in the Course of American events, it becomes necessary for the People to expose the lies which had compelled some of their fellow-citizens to wage war against Our Congress, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should expose the untruths which had compelled the rebels to riot.
We hold these truths to be historically proven, that all men and women are created equal, that they are endowed by our Constitution with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
To secure these Rights, our government of the United States was instituted, deriving just powers from the consent of the governed, —and that when any group of citizens among them becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Duty of the People and their Representatives to expose the lies and treasonous actions that have driven their fellow-citizens to destructive, murderous, riotous rebellion.
Our Rule of Law, indeed, indicates that our Government, long established, should not be destroyed for political and transient causes.
So when a long train of rioting destroyers, pursuing a murderous, destructive end, attacks and attempts to destroy our Capitol, and to obstruct the due processes of governance therein, it is the Right of the People, and the Duty of their Congress, to expose the lies and the malicious intent that has compelled the rebels to their rebellion.
Such has been the patient, persistent and proficient investigation of our Congress, having appointed a Select Committee to investigate the causes of the January 6, 2021 insurrection.
Now, the Select Committee, having established, through their presentation of evidence, the Lies and Rebellious intent of the Jan6 rioters, with their Insurrection having been compelled by the Lies and masterful manipulation of a Depraved Loser.
We, therefore, the People of the United States of America, virtually assembled as witnesses to the evidence brought forth by our US House of Representatives Select Committee for Jan6, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good people of this Nation, solemnly publish and declare, that this nation, represented in our Courts of Law by our Attorney General, do resolve to charge Donald J. Trump, 45th President of our fair nation, with the crime of Treason and Insurrection against our United States of America.
So . . .in a moment of high tension and national crisis, an outgoing President of the United States has to make a choice between two different lawyer cliques, one of which will define his legacy and confirm for posterity his destiny in the history books.
The Groups:
1.) His official legal staff, a few highly qualified lawyers who have been advising him all along, during his 4-year term in office.
2.) A new, untested group of whacko lawyers who are dredging up, from the muck and the mire of human gullibility, a sack of pseudo-legal strategies to undermine our Constitutional Courts of Law while creeping through sub-legalian tunnels, then slithering beneath Congress and wiggling up into the White House for another four years.
Very stable genius that he is, the president thus carves his own destiny by choosing a wild, unprecedented path that will guarantee him a special place in the history books.
So, what does he do?
He ignores his legitimate lawyers.
Instead, he instructs his team of whacko lawyers to get ready. Then he steps aside stealthily, to summon forth, in the wee hours of December darkness, a special reserve team whom he had instructed, earlier . . . to stand back and stand by.
He releases his pet tweetie-bird to carry the message. But thank God, some of our alert lawmakers intercepted it.
“. . . . Will be wild!”
Webster’s dictionary defines “wild”:
adjective. uncivilized, unconstrained by caution or convention, completely undisciplined, very angry, irrational, uncontrolled.
And wild it was. Only a very stable desperado could have dreamed up such a wild insurrection scheme—a cutting-edge call-to-arms that would carve out for himself a place in history.
Congratulations, Donald, you will go down in history, subverting our Rule of Law to the same depths of Rebel fate as Jefferson Davis: the Loser.
Stay tuned for more News from our Select House Committee, at the 11th hour of our .gov.
They were empowered to maintain control over the Colonists. by means of their fancy uniforms and their fancy firearms.
But the Colonists were feeling a new wind of Liberty; so they took unto themselves firearms, by which they would empower themselves to assert their fledgeling freedom and run the King’s soldiers out of America and back to their little island.
By ’n by, the Americans got it together to write a Constitution by which they would build, from the ground up, a new Republic, if they could keep.
And they did keep it for a long time. . . just how long, remains to be seen.
But we digress.
Within the structured Law of that Constitution, the Americans had written unto themselves an Amendment, the Second, to whit:
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
This official protection of the Right to bear arms was very effective for the Americans as they expanded their new Republic all the way across our Continent, imposing, by the force of their Guns, their high-tech industrialized hegemony over all North American natives.
And a bloody time was had by all. As time went by they made forceful use of the Firearms to subdue the native peoples and appropriate unto themselves the vast lands of the North American Continent.
By ’n by, the Americans had a bloody friggin Civil War in which they killed many many thousands of themselves.
As the 20th century got cranked up, the Americans did provide massive firepower to drive the German kaiser and his soldiers back into their prussian holes.
And a few years later, the Americans did again provide massive firepower to drive the little nazi and his nazi demons back into their holes.
By n by, the Americans did, over the course of the 20th-century manage to, sometimes make good use of their guns to settle wars that had sprung above around the world.
In some of those ventures, the Americans did ok; in others . . . not so much.
By the time the 21st century rolled in, Americans had morphed into a very different breed from the original Patriot role model that had inspired their original impetus toward Freedom, Liberty and Justice for all, especially since our visual obsession has turned us into couch potatoes with eyes obsessed in electronic screens that are robbing many of us of any capacity to actually think and act with responsibility, compassion, good ole common sense and liberty and justice for All.
The “Justice” for all category is one, particularly, in which we Americans have failed to maintain high standards of appropriate, consistent, lawful enforcement among our varying communities and neighborhoods.
Sad to say, this 2nd Amendment that now enables the fascists and the murderously compelled whackos among us to go around killing people as if they were shooting dildos at an amusement park . . . Austin, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Charleston church, Colleyville synagogue, Parkland Florida, Sacramento, NYC Subway, Uvalde, Tulsa, Philadelphia, Highland Park . . . to name just a few,
and then there are the assassinations: Medgar Evers, President Kennedy, Dr. MLKing, Senator Bobby Kennedy, the attempt on President Reagan and Gabby Giffords. . .
Times have changed; the world has changed; people have changed. We have lost the ability to govern ourselves. We have sacrificed our Peace and Safety on the altar of Second Amendment fantasy.
Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of our country. Take guns away from crazy people! It’s time we took that “well-regulated militia” phrase seriously.
We need a Constitutional Amendment to impose appropriate limitations on Americans and our Right to Bear Arms.
And while we are at it, we need a Constitutional Amendment to delete the Electoral College from our Constitution and replace it with the Right of every citizen to vote for the President of the United States. That damned E.C. construct came about only because our Founders were not yet confident enough–not yet smart enough– to forbid slavery, and not yet American enough to constitutionalize a government that is actually established by the Voting of We the People.
