Humpty Trumpty's Wall

Today that bombastic lying malignant narcissist announced, though he "didn't have to", that he is declaring a national emergency so he literally can rob taxpayer funds already designated for other purposes to build a token border wall. He's either mentally ill, as many suggest, and obsessed with a mnemonic device taught to him during his campaign days, or he's making a lot of money for himself, his crime family and syndicate, in this country and abroad, through mega-deal somehow related to border security and the construction of this wall. Most likely there's quid pro quo . When is there not? GOP used to be spending averse, or at least they pretended to be. Oh, but that's right, this isn't the GOP anymore; this is the Trump party. So, the U.S. debt is the highest it's ever been at $22 trillion and government elected officials and lawmakers just keep on pouring wealth through a multi billion-dollar sieve, of course keeping most for those who put

Coup d'Etat

Today the Trump party, formerly known as the GOP, scored a big one. They violated the democratic process, flagrantly, and it was a brutal takeover, but they scored one. I can only hope there still will be justice and that justice rights wrong.

Dr. Blasey Ford, the Trump Party, and Freedom and Truth

Freedom is everything. What is constrained, controlled, and oppressed withers and dies. Resilience is finding a way to be free every day. Today I am thinking of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. I had created a blogpost during the week she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding her allegations that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both teenagers. Now I am thinking about how casually I posted to my blog the sketch portrait and very short summary account. Now I am thinking I was relatively callous as I did. Until one actually confronts what it is to testify as she did about her trauma and post-trauma experience, in a way that is in itself traumatic, one cannot know the complexity of doing so. I have seen nothing for days in the news about Dr. Blasey Ford, and maybe it’s better that way. I have no doubt her life has been impacted in a huge way both personally and publicly, that her life will never be the same. She may be relieved to slip away to
