Will Mike Pence Attempt to Undermine Our Democracy January 6?

 

Oh Donald, you are all I aspire to be. I want to be just like you. Why, I think I’m even jealous of you. I pledge my complete allegiance and obedience to you, Great One. Uh, eh... no God, I was not talking to you - I'm talking to Donald. 

I believe the answer to that question will likely be yes. He will try something so he can be patted on the head by Donald Trump, but legally he will not have much ground for doing so. This will not matter to someone like Trump, however; he still expects Pence to declare the election was rigged in an effort to hold on to the presidency. Trump’s woeful ignorance is shameful, but Mike Pence is far more shameless than Donald Trump. Pence as a seasoned politician knows better – same goes for the Republican Senate as well.

Mike Pence has proven himself to be a wimp; a man who cowered and groveled at the feet of Donald Trump the past 4 years.  It is hard to believe Pence once governed the state of Indiana; now he seems hardly capable of leading anything at all. He is a follower, not a leader. A self professed Christian; Pence has aided and abetted the worse, corrupt president in American history. Pence is touting the election is rigged just like his master wants him to do – but Pence, like the rest of the Republican Senate know full well the election was legitimate.

What kind of man would be a willing participant to keep an autocratic leader in power? Better yet, what kind of man would deliberately strive to negate the will of the American people? Pence tried in the most pathetic way to portray an image he is a follower of Jesus Christ; but his actions prove it is only lip service. A godly man would not lie repeatedly, aid and abet evil, and would never be a part of such a malicious administration such as the Trump administration. Pence sole purpose the past four years has been to please and satisfy the whims of Donald Trump.

George Will wrote a wonderful editorial in the Washington Post once that nailed Mike Pence’s character about a year ago. Will attributed the term “oleaginous” to Pence’s character, which was the perfect description. Pence want to pretend and convey the image he is a stand up type of fellow, when in fact he is cut from the same dirty, cloth as Donald Trump. 

One has to ask why any person with integrity would be a willing participant of such a nefarious administration. The answer is one would not if they were a person of good character. Pence lays prostrate at every command of Donald Trump, regardless of how vile or ludicrous it may be. George Will statements were tantamount to the fact we expect vileness, evil, and criminal behaviors from Donald Trump, but one would have thought Mike Pence would not engage in such things. He has 100%.   

I’ll come out and flat say this; Mike Pence is racist like Donald Trump. Pence actually share an overwhelming majority of Trump’s rotten and depraved values. Don’t think so? Why do you think Pence is Trump’s right man for a lack of a better word? Not only did Trump chose him because he knew he would be a good toy soldier and attract evangelicals, but because he espoused many of the view he himself had. 

Pence voted against The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act which was based on the gruesome death of James Byrd, Jr.; a black man dragged for 3 miles by a pickup truck driven by three KKK members. The bill also was named after the murder of Matthew Shepard, who was killed solely for being gay. Who would vote against such a thing as the Hate Crime Prevention Act? Mike Pence did – the same man who refused to say “Black Lives Matter.” I guess Pence who appears to view blacks and gays as being less, believes Almighty God does too.

Pence has stood by “Grab them by the pus*y” Donald Trump, like his faithful watchdog the entire time. He stood by Trump when he touted the values of white nationalism at Charlottesville. He stood by and covered up Trump’s attempt to extort the president of Ukraine. He stood by Trump’s efforts to obstruct justice in that investigation.  Pence stood by Trump in the impeachment hearing, and successfully subverted a document during the joke of a trail that would have implicated him. He stood by Trump as he made Vladimir Putin his BFF.

The worse and most unconscionable thing (as if the other things are not bad enough) however, is how Mike Pence stood by Donald Trump knowing full well Trump was playing down the coronavirus. His being privy to the actions of Donald Trump made him just as culpable of what ultimately resulted in the deaths of thousands and thousands of Americans.

Pence stood by Trump when he declared the coronavirus was a hoax. Pence stood by Trump and imitated his assault and disapproval for wearing masks. He stood by Trump as he declared himself a war time president but refused to invoke the Defense Production Act to produce badly needed PPE.

An aggrieved Donald Trump before leaving for Mar-a-Lago on Christmas holiday, met with Pence to discuss his angst about the election. It has been said Trump was upset with Pence for not doing more to overturn the election results. Trump felt Pence was not doing enough to circumvent the election and declare it so-called “stolen.” Trump is hedonistic in his malevolent schemes, and does not mind if others see right through it. Pence is just as malevolent, but he prefers to window dress his misdeeds; as if somehow it shields his true intentions – it don’t. 

This is the most corrupt presidential administration in American history, and Mike Pence will always be known for being a part of it.  So, I still have some trepidation about January 6, when Mike Pence will have the responsibility of formally declaring and certifying the electoral votes before the Senate. 

He has been Trump’s “yes” man from the beginning, so it begs the question will he be so to the end? He is devoid of integrity, as he actively participates in Trump’s amoral and criminal schemes. Pence loves to invoke the name of God as if it gives their schemes some kind of legitimacy, as those in the Republican House and Senate.  

There are even Republicans who believe Mike Pence has proven himself to be a weak leader. His subservience towards Trump is to the point it appeared he was smitten with him. Pence has diminished any inkling as being someone capable of leading. Now, I don’t think Pence has the hots for Trump, but he has engaged in so much overkill in praising Donald Trump, that at times it seemed liked a comedy skit. The only thing Pence has accomplished the past 4 years is playing the role of servant well. 

Unbeknownst to Mike Pence, it was all for nothing in the long run, because like I said before; if you know Donald Trump - he will eventually turn on you. And that is such the case here. Trump fully expects Pence will come out and declare the election was a sham; anything less will incite the ire of Trump and will be unacceptable. But if Pence choose that course, it will be the final catalyst behind his political suicide. 

We will just have to wait and see. One piece of good news for me personally, as I thought maybe I was going insane. Finally, someone famous made a statement about Mike Pence that I and a few others have seriously wondered about. Seth Myers asked on his show, Late Night With Seth Myers, is Mike Pence even a real person? I have wondered this myself, and have concluded he might be made of Styrofoam or man-made upper materials; or perhaps he’s one of Satan’s right hand men. Given his actions, I am inclined to believe the latter. Regardless, I don’t believe it will help him now.

Trumpy Claus is Coming to Town

You better watch out

You better not cry

Here's the man who's going to tell you why

Trumpy Claus just got back from a lovely trip 

beyond the Kremlin Way

He met with Vladimir Putin, to spend the holiday

He asked Putin about losing to Biden 

And what should he do

Vladimir told him to void the election

And plan a full redo

You better watch out

Say Covid is a hoax

Or else he’ll be mad

Because it cost him votes 

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

He’s making a list and checking it twice

Supporter or not, you’ll pay the price

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

He wants you to pledge your loyalty

He punishes if you disobey

He lacks decency and morality

And always, always it must be his way

You better watch out

Say Covid is a hoax 

Or else he’ll be mad

Because it cost him votes

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

With blood on his hands

As the coronavirus spread

He can now claim credit for

Over 300,000 Americans dead

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

He’ll sabotage the White House

To stick it to Joe Biden

And milk his base for money

As his finances grow and widen

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

Pence, Pompeo, and McEnany

Will have a jubilee

William Barr will not be invited

Except to put up the Christmas tree 

You better watch out

Say Covid is a hoax

Or else he’ll be mad

Because it cost him votes

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

Now Trumpy Claus is busy

Making sure others will pay

He has millions of dollars to scam

From supporters by Christmas Day 

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

With pardons galore

Himself included too

Giuliani, Ivanka, Jarod

And those who supported the coup

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

You better watch out

Say Covid is a hoax

Or else he’ll be mad

Because it cost him votes

Trumpy Claus is coming to town

A Byproduct of Trumpism: The Humiliation of Anjanette Young

 

Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible. Maya Angelou

Racism is alive and well in America; that is no surprise either to the recipient or the perpetrator. The past four years under Donald Trump’s tenure clearly indicates race relations have become increasingly worse since he has been in office. The Southern Poverty Law Center nevertheless, has reported an astounding increase in hate crimes and other racist incidents since he became president. Trump has fanned the flames of racial hatred, and one area in society that reflects the consequences is in our police departments. 

That leads me to the humiliation of Anjanette Young. The incident happened in February 2019. Americans are just now hearing about it. The Chicago police department raided her home and broke the front door down. Once inside they found a naked Anjanette Young about to change her clothes. 

She told the police officers 43 times they had the wrong house, but they refused to believe her. She said, “I’m a social worker, I follow the law.” Young continues to scream at the police they had the wrong house. One callous officer said, “You don’t have to shout.”  “I don’t have to shout? This is ridiculous,” Young says, using an expletive. “You’ve got me in handcuffs. I’m naked and you kicked my house in.”  Any one in their right mind would be outraged and frightened.

I have seen various accounts of what happened, despite the cop cams. However, the best case scenario was bad enough. The best account stated she was totally nude with no cover on her until after the cops handcuffed her, and then after a minute later she was handed a blanket. Another account stated she stood nude for over 40 minutes. And then another account stated she was allowed to change into some clothes 12 minutes later. 

Her sobs and tears on the police cam were utterly gut wrenching – Young was distraught beyond consoling. The number of police officers has varied according to different sources as we, but there was a minimum of 10, with most sources saying 12-15 were present as Young stood bare for them to see. This is appalling and inexcusable. 

But most incredulous of all - come to find out the Chicago police raided the wrong house. The culprit lived in a nearby house in the same neighborhood. Unlike Breonna Taylor at least Anjanette escaped with her life. She was not riddled with 6 bullets, nor did her home sustained 32 casings s like Taylor’s.

But she will be traumatized from this incident the rest of her life. She was humiliated to a point no person should ever have to endure. Her life, her personal dignity meant absolutely nothing to these police officers. Make no mistake - their blatant disregard and lack of respect for her emanated out of prejudice and racism. 

Shall we get frank here and this is going to strike a nerve. The lives of black people in America mean very little to a great many in this country. People with black and brown colored skin are for the most part devalued and are seen as less. People of color are almost viewed as subhuman and they are underestimated in their abilities and most everything that encompasses their lives.  It is easy to pay lip service, but the big question is what is in your heart?

You have white conservatives and evangelicals who for the most part devalue people of color. However, there are a number of white liberals who are unaware of their prejudices that lie within. You have our vice-president Mike Pence refuses to say “Black Lives Matters.”  You have many now who want to chant, “White Lives Matter” – but I ask, was that ever in dispute? Donald Trump has brought tidings of ill will to the racist which when decoded means, “You no longer need to hide your hate.”

Time for a brief introduction into Social Psychology 101. Sociologists have dubbed the term “master status;” which some may have heard of. One’s “master status” indicates a specific variable a given individual has that others use as their most defining characteristic. It could be race, male or female, rich or poor, etc.  For example, most people will say, “That man over there missed the bus.” But if the man is black, most people will say, “That black man over there missed the bus.”  “Black” in this case is the man’s master status. 

By default, unless one’s race is specifically mentioned, there is the supposition that an individual is white. Usually, the master status has subconscious barnacles attached to it; like that black man might be a gang member, mean, lazy, angry, or dangerous. Another consequence of the master status is usually black employees are often deemed less capable that their white counterpoints. Rest assured, almost in all cases the master status will result to some extent a person of color being perceived as less.

These Chicago police officers deemed Johnson as less; like some kind of animal without feeling or intellect. Her being perceived as less, resulted in her nakedness requiring not even a single ounce of sensitivity towards it. Anjanette was met with disdain and was deemed unworthy of clothing as she stood totally nude in front of more than 10 police officers; like I said earlier, some say 12-15. 

Her nudity clearly indicated she was not in possession of any weapon. There was no reason for the police officers to fear for their safety, and there was no reason to inflict shame like this on any person other than hate; whether they knew it, or were not cognizant. There is no way they were not aware of how humiliating and embarrassing this had to be for Johnson.  Even if she was the person they were looking for, their actions would still be inexcusable.  

The master status in Johnson’s case outweighed decency, sensitivity, and just basic respect for a human being. The master status overrode Johnson’s humanity, and she was reduced to less as she stood nude in front of the police officers. Her master status diminished her intellect; yet being a clinical social worker for over 20 years I would believe she likely has a master’s degree, but definitely a bachelor’s degree. You tell me, how would these police officers feel if that happened to one of their own daughters?  

Where the officers getting some form of sexual gratification from the act? I don’t know, but the issue behind what happened transcends sexuality. This is an issue of a hate – of perceiving someone as less. It is likely an issue of contempt for women as well, but hands down the master status comes in first place. It is the primary catalyst behind Johnson’s treatment by these Chicago police officers. 

I was a little taken back to find out Chicago’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot fought to keep the police bodycam from being released to the public. Chicago’s chief prosecutor, Kim Foxx contested the move, and felt the video should have been released to the public (the nudity in it was blurred out). Foxx stated, “The audacity that the city calculated its embarrassment over the release of the video, is a clear violation of Ms. Young’s body and autonomy,” Foxx tweeted. “This was a complete and utter dismissal of her humanity. Her humanity was, literally, stripped from her.”

I agree with Kim Foxx, although I speculate Lightfoot was afraid the video would incite violence. I can understand that, but this is an incident that the public has a right to know.  The video was finally made public by WBBM-TV, a CBS affiliate in Chicago. A few sources claim Lightfoot said she was for the video being released, so in all fairness I wanted to put that in. But other sources said she was made aware of this shortly after the incident happened.

Do I believe police departments are systemically racist? Yes. Do I believe police officers target minorities? Yes. Do I believe cops profile black individuals? Absolutely! Do I believe in defunding the police? No, I do not. I believe we need the police; they are a necessary part of keeping some form of order in society – otherwise it would be simply chaos. However, there are so many instances of police brutality among black communities that something needs to be done. 

I will go to my grave seeing the life fade away from George Floyd’s eyes as he was suffocating to death from the hands of four Minneapolis police officers. I see his face now, I hear his voice; that video hunts me and it always will. Terrence Crutcher ultimately died because his car broke down on a road in Tulsa. Breonna Taylor, a paramedic fast asleep, until the police broke the door down and shot her six times in Louisville. Phillip Castillo, again Minneapolis, a police officer ask for his car registration and when he reached for it, the officer shot and killed him.

So, why do I blame Donald Trump? I blame Trump for pouring gasoline on the fire; his predicate ensuring racial hatred stay intact. Trump has made being overtly racist in vogue – he’s made it move from a position of shame, into a position of pride. In the past, especially after the Civil Rights Era the racist preferred to operate behind the scenes.  As Trump has emboldened white nationalists, it is now more acceptable to show your hate. Police departments are stacked with white racists, and thanks to our president, he has emboldened both them and white nationalists. 

I feel terrible for Anjanette Young. The shame, the embarrassment, the degradation she experienced from this will stay with her the rest of her life. These police officers should be fired – how could they not know this was grossly inappropriate and dehumanizing? She did not deserve this – no one does and it is inexcusable. No human being deserves to be treated in this way.  

Sorry House Republicans: The Coup d'état Was Unsuccessful

 

Jim Jordon should had been protecting the young boys at Ohio State from pedophile doctor Richard Straus, instead of asking wrestling Captain Adam DiSabato to cover for Straus. And once again, he sides with evil and worked to overthrow our democracy by protesting the votes of the American people. 

Joe Biden will be our next president. It is a real shame when someone wins a presidential election; yet yesterday most everyone was on pins and needles waiting for the electors of each state to vote. Knowing Trump previously tried to coerce two Michigan officials to undo the election by filing a plethora of lawsuits; I had made up my mind I would not rest until the electors cast their votes. Finally, this crazy chapter in history is closed but will be told for years. 

Expect more sabotage, corruption, plots and schemes from Donald Trump and his cronies until he’s out the door. Yesterday, not even a full hour after the electors voted, like a rabid animal he forced William Barr to resign. Can’t say I feel sorry for him – he got what he deserved for being Trump’s pit bulldog hybrid. But it goes to show what I’ve said all along; if you are in Trump’s orbit, you will eventually be kicked to the curb. 

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton brought the lawsuit to overthrow the results of election, but was unanimously struck down by the Supreme Court. Here is a list of the 120 morally bankrupt Republican members of the House of Representatives who tried to pervert our democracy and overthrow the election and the will of the American people. Whether you realize it or not, this is an act of corruption in plain view. 

Each and everyone on this list has deliberately turned their heads away from Donald Trump's blatant corruption, his overt racism, his numerous cases of sexual assault, including several legal actions filed for the rape of a 13 year old girl, and the rape of E. Jean Carol. Trump has blood on his hands for downplaying the coronavirus and taking no real national action to counter it like other countries throughout the world. Every one on this list supports him and his actions.

These House Republican has had a hand in a deliberate attempt to undermine our election system and our democracy; and fully participated in this scheme. They are all responsible, as is Trump for making the American people lose faith in our democracy; solely to benefit themselves. There are going to be severe ramifications for America, as a consequence of these representatives indelible role in this phony facade the election was not sound. Make no mistake - they only care about their positions at the expense of the American people. The desires of the American people are immaterial to them. 

Their are some listed below even more malevolent than the others; they deserve a special and dishonorable recognition. All of them are reprobate and rotten to the core. They give lip service to Jesus Christ, but they are ruled by Satan. But make no mistake - everyone listed are engaged in undermining the will of the people and our right to vote. It may sound harsh but it is true - these people literally are a danger and a threat to our democracy. 

What did Jesus Christ say about such men and women listed below? He said:

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44

The Truth About the Corrupt Republicans in the Senate and House

 

There is a link below to an article written by Jill Filipovic, which is the best article I have read concerning the metamorphosis of the Republican Party under Trump’s tenure. Republicans are trying to get the Supreme Court to overturn democracy itself. Finally someone has come out and spoke the plain truth about the Republicans in the Senate and House. 

I’ve maintained all along they are not afraid of Donald Trump, to the extent most people believe, or reported in the media. Trump is their mouthpiece and the heavy for what they actually want to happen and say, but they don’t have the guts to say it. All they have to do is wind him up, tell him what to say, and he will. If the Republican Senate wanted to get rid of Trump, they would had done so during the Impeachment hearings.

Donald Trump would not be the autocratic leader he is today without the Republican Senate allowing it to happen. The Republican Senate is actually more culpable than woefully ignorant Trump. Whereas Donald Trump does not know the Constitution, the Republicans in the house and senate do. Between the three that have inflicted an indelible blow to our democracy and the Constitution.

The Republican Party pre-Trump does not exist anymore. They are now extremists on the far right. One can’t be more extreme if he or she is trying to overthrow our democratic processes and the legitimacy of our vote. We have gone to war over other countries trying to do even less, and now we are the one thing we use to abhor. One can’t be more extreme by embracing conspiracy theories out of thin air. One can’t be more extreme by deliberately attempting to undermine the will of the people by making the votes they cast not count.

Later I will add a list of the primary republicans who have a deliberately played a part in trying to undermine our democracy. They are without excuse and like Trump, they are un-American. Below is a link to the article I was referring to.

Time Magazine Prints Special Edition to Assuage Donald Trump’s Ego

Of course Time did not print a special edition for Trump, but if they had done so, it might of sort of looked like picture above.

If only I could be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office today. Donald Trump desperately wanted to be Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. His narcissism has always prevented him from understanding that the person Time selects does not necessarily mean it is an honorable title. Both good and bad people are selected as the Person of the Year. This year it happens to be good people; Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Of course, we know Donald Trump is enamored with ruthless dictators.  Adolph Hitler was selected as Time Magazine’s Person of the Year back in 1938. Also, if you recall the infamous Iran’s Ayatullah Khomeini – he was selected in 1979. Being selected does not mean a person is held in high regard; it just means that individual had very notable actions or impacted the world in some way.

I voted for Andrew Cuomo, because he went far above and beyond his job working for the state of New York 24/7. To bring the coronavirus numbers down to the extent he has is short of miraculous. He poured his whole being into curtailing the coronavirus, and is working just as hard today. I can understand, however; Time's basis for choosing President Elect Biden and Kamala Harris. 

Harris made history of being the first woman for the position of vice-president and a woman of color at that! Many people do not realize Joe Biden had pretty much retired, and initially was not interested in running as president. But he saw how Donald Trump was destroying this country, and with prompting from others he chose to run. It is very clear that both Biden and Harris really want to try and reunite Americans.

"For changing the American story, for showing that the forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division, for sharing a vision of healing in a grieving world, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are TIME's 2020 Person of the Year," Time’s Editor in Chief Edward Felsenthal

But, we don’t want to leave Donald Trump out. Time Magazine has decided to print a special issue on Trump’s behalf; dubbed the “Poorest Loser in World History.” But because there was an error on the front, you can only find this edition through underground channels. The magazine forgot to print “Impeached” on the front cover in reference to one of the articles inside. But you better hurry to get one; rumor has it Trump has bought up 85% of the copies already. 

 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Order Bogus Raid on Home of Rebekah Jones

 

                                            Looks like guns drawn to me.

You can tell pretty much which governors are friends with Donald Trump just by their actions and attitudes. They share some similar traits; lying, cooking the numbers, vindictiveness, plotting and scheming, and not giving a rat’s rump about their constituents. I’m sure there’s lot more characteristics out there, but these come first in mind to me. Ron DeSantis is one Trump’s pals and it shows.

I remember watching Rebekah Jones on Chris Cuomo’s Prime Time show back in the spring I believe - might had been early summer. She spoke of how the State of Florida fired her because they asked her to make the coronavirus numbers look better than what they actual were. She refused to comply with their scam. Jones actually designed the Florida’s State Department of Health coronavirus dashboard before they terminated her employment. 

When Jones refused their request to misrepresent the data, they railroaded her with the lame excuse she had been insubordinate. At least that was in accordance to DeSantis’ spokesperson. Well, if being insubordinate means refusing to make up numbers so coronavirus cases and deaths look lower than they actually were, than I guess the definition of insubordination has changed. 

Not too many people in this world would take a stand as brave as Rebekah Jones. DeSantis ordered a raid on her home as if she had federal warrants out for her arrest and was on the FBI top wanted list. It was an appalling and repugnant display of vindictiveness, but most important, it reflects an ongoing effort to conceal the truth from residents in the state of Florida. 

A group of Florida law enforcement agents entered the home of Rebekah Jones, with her husband and children inside. They had their weapons drawn as shown in several photos, although their agents are denying it. Yep, that’s right – pistols and rifle drawn. What was the crime that warranted such artillery from the liking of state law enforcement agents? It was a chat message imploring others to tell the truth and protect the people in Florida. The complaint maintained there was an “unauthorized message” sent in the state’s communication system. 

The raid was carried out at 8:30 a.m., with the agents confiscating Jone’s computer and phone. I’m not sure if they took more, it sort of sounds that way, but I can’t affirm this is the case. They not only pointed a gun at her, but her two children as well. This is deplorable and inexcusable! It does not even seem like America is even America anymore.  But hold on - what’s really pathetic is the words in the message that resulted in such dramatic action by law enforcement to where they felt the need to have their guns drawn. 

Below is the message that was sent on the states message board:

"It's time to speak up before another 17,000 people are dead,""You know this is wrong. You don't have to be a part of this. Be a hero. Speak out before it's too late."

You can clearly see why law enforcement came. This has to be one of the most threatening messages I have ever read. I mean, what kind of ruthless  criminal Rebekah Jones must be. That is pretty audacious; instead of wanting to kill 17,000 more Floridians, the culprit was trying to save their lives. Isn’t that terrible? The unmitigated gall for someone to ask people to speak out against phony numbers that minimized how deadly the coronavirus impact on Florida is outrageous. Jones is a very dangerous individual – don’t you think?

Yeah, I can see why the agents came in guns drawn. I mean you compare that to domestic violence, rape, murder, robbery – those things pale in comparison to the statement made. They should have issued an APB of whoever made such a malicious, reprehensible statement. Here it is again. "It's time to speak up before another 17,000 people are dead,""You know this is wrong. You don't have to be a part of this. Be a hero. Speak out before it's too late." Outrageous!

Jones stated DeSantis only is worried about how the coronavirus impact on him politically, and could care less about curtailing the coronavirus and the loss of lives in Florida.. Of course, that has been readily apparent all along as he refuses to even issue a mask mandate for a state with such catastrophic numbers. DeSantis also hosted numerous rallies for Trump; making sure plenty of Floridians caught Covid-19 and died from it. He, like Donald Trump does not have a moral compass. No wonder why Trump and DeSantis are such great friends.

I don’t think Florida is alone is fudging the numbers. I imagine there are likely a few other states fudging their coronavirus counts. Jones stated, “They took my phone and the computer I use every day to post the case numbers in Florida, and school cases for the entire country."They took evidence of corruption at the state level. They claimed it was about a security breach. This was DeSantis. He sent the gestapo."

The Florida Department of Health claimed their system had been hacked into; however, Jones claims it was not her. The search warranted stated "that a person illegally hacked into their emergency alert system." The court document stated the message was sent to a state planning group, where everyone shared the same user name and password. Even if Jones sent the message to a group she once was a part of; it does not warrant the over the top raid carried out at her home. 

After Rebekah Jones stopped working for the Florida State Department of Health, she created her own coronavirus dashboard. Like I said, she was responsible for the state’s dashboard before she was fired. I find it refreshing to see someone who cares enough about others on her own without getting paid, by endeavoring to bring the truth to people in order to save lives. 

Sarasota Florida attorney Ron Filipkowski resigned in protest over how Rebekah Jones’ home was raided by agents. However, he had been troubled even before the incident and stated the following in his resignation letter, “I have been increasingly alarmed by the Governor’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.” “I believe the policy of this state towards covid is reckless and irresponsible.”  Governor Ron DeSantis actually appointed Filipkowski to the12th Judicial Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission.

Even if Jones had sent the message, Filipkowski said, “What’s the crime here? The crime is her sending an email telling people to tell the truth?”

 I have a great deal of respect for both him and Jones. The raid has DeSantis signature all over it, and he has well earned a spot in the Hall of Shame. But he earned that with his dismal response towards the coronavirus from the very beginning. 

You would have though at least one other person in the Florida Department of Health would had said, “No this is not right – lives are being lost.”  They will have to live with their choice to do nothing. My hat’s off to Rebekah Jones for taking a stand and speaking the truth.  

Trump Asks Governor Brian Kemp to Undo Electoral Votes in Georgia

 

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs, and explosions, and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men. Rod Sterling 

I hate to say it, but I told you so. That’s why I wrote the article “Don’t Let Donald Trump and the Republican Senate Take Away Our Right to Vote” back in September. On Saturday, Donald Trump called Governor Brian Kemp and asked him to undo the electoral votes in Georgia. He specifically urged Kemp to stop the electors who are set to vote on December 14, and replaced them with people who would vote for him instead.

Kemp refused to call a special legislative session to appoint 16 new electors to vote for Trump. To do so would be a violation of state law, not to mention how blatantly unethical such a stunt would be. It surprised me because I did not believe Brian Kemp had it in him to do the right thing. But he knew it was illegal, whereas Donald Trump could care less. Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who voted for Trump, said to appoint other electors would go against the will of the people.  

On Sunday, December 6, Gov. Brian Kemp and Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, issued the following statement, “Any attempt by the legislature to retroactively change that process for the November 3rd election would be unconstitutional and immediately enjoined by the courts, resulting in a long legal dispute and no short-term resolution.” A high strung Trump spoke for several hours with Kemp on Saturday. Trump is always worried about appearing weak, but I don’t think he has ever appeared weaker by reacting as he has from losing the election. 

I wrote about this before the election even occurred, because I recognize Donald Trump for the fraud he is. I know how he operates. He is a psychologically disturbed individual (a sociopath) with no conscience, and he is corrupt to the core. I can't take credit for this prediction; a good number of people suspected he would take this route before I did. Never put anything pass Donald Trump; the potential always exist for him to go lower than one even dream it’s possible. 

Trump can actually be predictable at times. One thing that aids in his predictability is the fact he will always take the low road – nothing is off limits for him. This attempt to circumvent the election is a crime that should not be shrugged off. Trump’s actions undermine our entire democracy, and he should be charged both on a federal and state level for interfering with the results of a presidential election. 

Trump is the only source of voter fraud. This is the way the mafia works – it should not be the way a president of the United States operates. Joe Biden defeated Trump by over 7 million popular votes. Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., George Bush, Jr., and Hillary Clinton accepted their defeats like a normal person and with grace. Donald Trump, however, is a mentally impaired man; he is hands down the poorest loser in the history of America. But he is far more problematic than just being a sore loser. 

As ironic as this sound, only someone gravely insecure would resort to such measures after losing an election. Only a weak person who is a coward would react so desperately and to the extremes Trump has.  Donald Trump defines himself by his adoring fans – they are more like fans than constituents in my opinion. In truth, it is almost like he has a cult following in some ways. I am stumped as to why.

Trump fears appearing weak more than anything else in this world – he feels he must win. His ego will not permit him to do otherwise. After all, he invested some much time and energy to sabotage the election. The only way for Trump to save face is to assert himself in the role of a victim, by falsely claiming the election was a fraud. Donald J. Trump will never concede and will never admit defeat. He never has and he never will.

Trump has propagated numerous lies about election fraud, and many in his base believe him. I think Republicans outside his core base may not buy it, but they are willing to go along for the ride. It seems like “corruption” is in “vogue” these days. Ask the Republican Senate – they are part of the charade.

The ramifications from Trump’s false claims are catastrophic for the integrity of our American democracy. Voters have lost faith in our election system which can solely attributed to his lies about the election being rigged. It is unfathomable the self-centered needs of one man have resulted in so much irreparable harm to our democracy. 

Trump on Sunday tweeted the following: “Has anyone informed the so-called (says he has no power to do anything!) Governor @BrianKempGA & his puppet Lt. Governor @GeoffDuncanGA, that they could easily solve this mess, & WIN. Signature verification & call a Special Session. So easy!”

Can you imagine when Jimmy Carter and George Bush Sr. lost their elections, if they would had went around like maniacs accusing different states of election fraud? What about John McCain? What if when he lost to President Barack Obama, if he went around claiming there was widespread voter fraud in the election? John McCain would never assault our democracy like Donald Trump has. No other president would engage in such self-serving reckless behavior at the expense of our country.

I have no respect for John Kelly anymore; not after he was willing to prostitute himself in order to please his pimp, Donald Trump. But he did say one thing I wholeheartedly agree with. He said, "The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it's more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life." There is nothing inside the shell of Donald Trump other than lies, corruption, hate, and self-interest. 

Donald Trump will never stop his despicable efforts to commit fraud and cast doubt on this presidential election. Maybe if the election really was a fraud, then those Republicans who were elected should not have won either. Trump fired Republican Chris Krebs, head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which oversaw the cybersecurity of the elections. Krebs stated there was no voter fraud found; in fact, he said it was the most secure election in American history. Trump fired him in a tweet because Krebs certification went against Trump’s plot to undermine the election. 

Court case after court case, Donald Trump’s con man lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani entertains the court with farts and frivolous allegations claiming election fraud. These court cases have become like a revolving door, with no end in sight; one thrown out after another. Ironically, all of these lawsuits have cast attention not only on how crooked Trump is, but just how badly he lost the election. It’s a pathetic display of one desperate man. 

There is one thing, however, that has panned out in Trump’s favor. As he begs for alms at the door from his base, they are pumping lots of cash into his new and shiny website. Donald Trump has immediately set up his prostitution ring online, asking for money to fund his efforts in contesting the election in court. It's paid off - 207+ million so far. He has raised more money than he even had for his campaign. What’s nifty for Trump, he can use this money for whatever he wants; new golf clubs, cheeseburgers, or perhaps even to pay his taxes (not likely). One thing for sure, he will not leave the Oval Office broke. 

Donald Trump is demonstrating just how weak he really is. To see a president act like this, is appalling and repugnant. He is innately vulgar; his desperation is on display for the entire world to see. He does not give a rip about committing one crime after another, or bottle-necking the courts. His actions bring to mind of an image of baby defecating in his diapers; screaming and kicking his legs in the air. He is delirious and discombobulated from losing the election - he has is now in the Twilight Zone. 

Donald Trump: So Let it Be Written, So Let it be Done

 

Let the crimes of Donald Trump and his family be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument within the United States. Let his crimes be mentioned in hushed tones or unspoken, erased from the memory of Americans for all time.

Sorry Trump, you won’t be so lucky. Donald Trump has always likened himself to a king or pharaoh, although in reality far from it. In the Ten Commandments, Ramses, played by Yul Bryner is a prime example as to how Trump envisions his presidential powers. Ramses was not woefully ignorant like Donald Trump, but just as power hungry and ruthless. 

“So let it be written – so let be done. That’s been Trump’s disposition the entire time in his presidency. Trump never concerned himself much with certain particulars; like getting congressional approval or following the law. The New York Times recently got their hands on a court document that indicates the Trump administration sought money in exchange for pardons. Not much out there yet about it, but when more comes available I will write a post about it. 

Donald Trump is preparing a host of pardons; which of course is indicative of a host of crimes. If this does not tell you something, then I don’t know what will. Criminal behaviors can be pardoned by a president, but Donald Trump is readying himself and his whole blooming family to be pardoned. Oh yeah, let’s not forget Rudolph Giuliani. I wonder what things they are afraid of…

Now concerning Donald Trump’s pardon authority, there seems to be several legal camps out there. Some say a president can pardon himself, which redefines the word “pathetic” on a whole new level; whereas, others say he can’t. One thing for sure, Trump will do so, or at least present to the world that he is now cleansed with a stroke of pen. He has already pardoned Michael Flynn and Roger Stone. Let’s consider what else Donald Trump might be afraid of.

5. I pardon Donald J. Trump for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have died from my egregious, inexcusable lack of response towards the coronavirus. I also exonerate myself for downplaying Covid-19 in an effort to hide the truth so it would not impact my chance to be reelected.

9. I pardon Donald J. Trump for the well over 20,000+ lies that have been documented, and therefore I am issuing a post disclaimer for all lies that resulted in harm to any individual. For example, I am exempt for the hundreds of thousands of deaths from the coronavirus that resulted from my despicable message for Americans to not wear mask, and my claims that Covid-19 is nothing to fear.

16. I pardon Donald J. Trump for years of federal tax evasion. I decree as well that I am pardoned for tax evasion in the state of New York. Can’t do that? Sure I can – I’m the president.

17. I pardon Donald J. Trump for being a white nationalist, and for being the prime catalyst for the huge increase for hate crimes across this country. I absolve myself for any murder that spawned out of my hate rhetoric. 

18. I pardon Donald J. Trump for my assault on the free press, and for calling the media Fake News; whether they accused me of saying what I actually said on video, or if they played the video itself for the viewing public. 

19. I pardon Donald J. Trump for ordering William Barr and the National Guard to gas peaceful protestors at a Black Lives Matter protest in Washington D.C. 

20. I pardon Donald J. Trump pardon Rudolph Giuliani for obstruction of justice, lying to the American people, for abuse and misuse of the court system, and for his ill repute “debut” in Borat 2.

21. Last, but most important, I pardon Donald J. Trump for all crimes I committed as president, and for the numerous criminal offenses I committed before I was president.

There are so many possibilities out there that one could spend years naming them. Trump’s lies about a rigged election or election fraud in my opinion, warrants impeachment, but there is not enough time. It is an assault on our own democracy, and it is something that should never be exonerated or forgiven. Donald Trump has irreparably harmed this country. He will be remembered as the man who destroyed America; his legacy as president will be one of hate, division, death, and corruption. 

Stop and Think About How the Coronavirus Impact Love Ones

 

The despair captured in this photo demonstrates how heartbreaking the coronavirus really is. It is a diagnosis not to be taken lightly, but it is just as devastating to one’s family and friends. Our hospitals are overwhelmed and the coronavirus is taking its’ toll on our healthcare professionals. This week, the White House Coronavirus Task Force announced the United States is in a very dangerous place. 

In the photo above, Dr. Joseph Varon, chief of staff at the United Memorial Medical Center in Houston, Texas, hugs an elderly patient on Thanksgiving Day. The elderly man was crying while in ICU, and was trying to leave his room. Dr. Varon asked him why he was crying and he said wanted to be with his wife. Being separated from her and the agony of being alone in the hospital became too much for him. But can you imagine how his wife feels? Until he tests negative, he will not be able to see he, and she has to be frightened. 

Dr Joseph Varon has worked for 256 days straight with no time off. He is a prime example of the incredible sacrifice those in the healthcare industry have made. He is imploring us to follow the rules for social distancing; by avoiding crowds, washing our hands often, and wearing masks. Is that asking too much? He can’t understand why people are going about their business as usual and neither can I. For one to proceed as normal before the coronavirus hit, epitomizes selfishness on a whole new level. 

The coronavirus is brutal; it has taken even perfectly healthy people and mopped the floor with them. Can you even imagine someone you love wasting away and not being able to see them? Can you imagine never saying goodbye to that person? They say time heals all wounds, but I don’t believe anybody will be able to completely heal losing someone in this way. I know there will be some to disagree with me, but I honestly do not think it is possible. 

It should not be until one knows somebody who becomes stricken with Covid-19, that he or she starts caring. It seems people’s hearts have become calcified, and I blame a considerable amount of that calcification on the Trump Administration’s part. Donald Trump’s legacy will be one as hate, death, and destruction. 

Trump will be remembered in the history books as the president who ripped this country apart by racial hatred. He will be remembered as the president who actively sought to downplay the virus from the American people, and refused to address it on a national level like other countries worldwide. The death of hundreds of thousands is on his hands and the Republican Senate. Always remember, it was the Republican Senate that kept Trump in power – Trump would had been nothing without them making it possible.

I’ve also wondered if the indifference towards the coronavirus is a ramification of the hate filled Trump supporters. If you support Trump, than you support hate - period. I knew there was a lot of racial hatred in this country, but I have to admit the division is far deeper than I imagined. The spirit of hate is alive and flourishing in the United States. Donald Trump deserves that dishonor – he has brought out the absolute worst in people. 

I believe another part of this indifference can be attributed to Americans being tired of the restrictions. I understand this, but I find that very pathetic for one to say, “I had enough,” and forgo trying to keep others safe. People want to do what they want to do at the expense of others. It is not right – it is immoral. Those who are not getting their way may have actually been the catalyst behind someone else’s death. You may never know who you killed in this world, but you will in the next.

One bit of good news; the elderly man in the photo is expected to be okay. The hospital anticipates he will released probably by the end of the week. But as of this moment, 270,881 Americans died tragically from Covid-19. And with 13,741,687 individuals having contracted the coronavirus, the death rate is going to rapidly climb upwards. What is so sad and devastating, it just did not have be this way for our country.
