HELP, SAVE ME!....12/20/23

It doesn't appear that the 9 members of the Supreme Court will get much sleep over the next few weeks - that is if they spend the time it takes to properly think things through rather than acting on political impulse as they often do.

Most importantly they will have to look up the word, "insurrection" in the dictionary and then decide whether or not it applies to the former president's behavior on January 6th, 2021and beyond.

Four smart justices of the Colorado Supreme Court have one definition of the word and the other three looked at things a different way.

I would bet good money that the majority of the US court sides with the minority on the Colorado bench.

Many of us feared that with the election of Donald Trump in 2016, and the real possibility that he would get an opportunity to stack the bench in his favor, this sort of thing would occur.

It has and will for a long time to come.

BORN LOSERS....12/19/23

Biden is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't when it comes to Middle East policy.

Half the people in this country want Israel to keep bombing the sh** out of Gaza (mostly older voters) and the other half (mostly younger voters), want a cease fire.

Netanyahu is between a rock and hard place too since he's under indictment for corruption and his government is run by hardliners who seem to want to destroy every Palistinian in sight.

But I believe our President is on the right track by trying to get Israel to not be so trigger happy but at the same time give them the freedom to go after those who attacked them.

No matter how you look at it, there are no winners in this fight - only losers. War is often that way.

So why do humans keep doing it?

Good question....

I'LL SAY WHAT I WANT....12/18/23

One of the most fundamental freedoms we enjoy, thanks to our Constitution, is the ability to say what we want, when we want, without fear of reprisial.

That's about to change if the notoriosly thin skinned Trump gets re-elected. He's threatening to go after everyone and anyone who criticizes him.

Sorry Pal, but criticism goes with the territory.

On another note, it's become fashionable on college campuses to ban speakers from coming to espouse their views, no matter how radical.

This is wrong. Let them come and be subjected to the yelling and screaming from one side or the other who come out and peacefully show their support or condemnation.

It's their right. Free speech should not be allocated to only those in power.

That belongs to all of us.
