𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐙𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐠𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧 𝐚 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 ... "𝐈'𝐦 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐨𝐰"

It's getting close to the 2024 Presidential election. The two dominant party candidates are sitting Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democrats and former President Donald Trump for the Republicans.

As has become the pivotal political point in recent elections, Democracy is at stake. Doomsday, apocalypse level. Depending on whichever candidate you favor, the other one is gonna take us to hell in a handbasket. Some would also say that's where they both will steer the ship of state. Don't ask me to sort that one out. Way above my pay grade.

As you may also have heard, there's a lot of killing going on in the world. Mass scale. Some would call it "genocide". We await the results of a thorough investigation to determine whether that in fact is the case. Rather than argue over genocide or no genocide, let's at least acknowledge that there's a lot of souls being slaughtered. By God's Chosen Ones no less. Oy! I won't try to sort out the history of that ... that would be anti-Semitic. 

So it goes on whether the mass dying from war and famine is just an item on the news, or whether this situation is now something that we cannot any longer tolerate, and something must be done. Beyond the haggling over who's right and who's wrong in this carnage.

Recently candidate Harris was at a rally when protesters interrupted ...

The Hill reports:

Demonstrators in the crowd at Harris’s Detroit rally repeatedly shouted out as the vice president spoke to an airplane hangar packed with supporters, “Kamala, Kamala you can’t Hide, we won’t vote for genocide.” The crowd booed and drowned out the protesters with chants of “Kamala.”

“I’m here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now. I am speaking now,” Harris said to applause.

As protesters continued to interrupt, Harris delivered a more blunt warning.

“You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win then say that. Otherwise I’m speaking,” she said. 


I'll leave it to you what to think about that. Hurray for the Girl Boss? Callous slick political poser? Add your own take in the comments section.

Here's a parable:

"Taking Care of the Business at Hand"

I went to pick up a take out Pizza. On the way out of the Pizzeria a man came up to me. He was haggard, in tatters, dirty, emaciated, barely standing. "Hey mister, could you help me get a bite to eat?" Me: "I see your plight, but I have to get home right away so the Pizza doesn't get cold."

Dear reader: If you have any additional ideas, or if you have some other point of view ... please, comments are welcome.   Some things for the two candidates to chew on leading up to the upcoming debate. [BTW there are other candidates, but they don't get to debate.] For President Trump: Okay, Mr. President, we know you have your way. Ways. The nation is in a love/hate relation with you on that. All that. Let's see you turn a page. Stay focused. Don't swat like a pussy at every feather flutter on a string at the end of a stick. Or, have to fill every rabbit hole with words. An old dog like me knows how to tell if you're lying: those lips are moving. Think about that. Maybe dial back the superlatives too. It's a joke now. HUGE ... joke. And, we give you this ... nobody does it better. Verbum Sap Sat! While we're mentioning particulars, maybe dial down the scattin' and jivin' off-script riffs. Some love it, but there are those who heretofor don't. Go f...

Looking for a Firm Grasp of the Obvious

Reader Advisory: If at any time reading this you're inclined to call this an apologia pro vita sua of Republicans in general or Trump supporters in particular, you friend have made my point. This is a rant about how politicians frame. Of course, everyone has a point of view. You can only look into your own heart and conscience to see whether that perspective is accurate and uncolored by prejudice, bias, or hard-held beliefs. Politicians live to get your vote. This necessitates positing a world with those who are in the right, those who are in the wrong. Winners, and losers. We live in times where the art of such divisiveness has reached a level where sides are so sharply divided that it is not at all surprising that some will literally take up arms to make their point. Who's to blame. Politicians. Us too, for swallowing their rhetoric whole and undigested. Pols are particularly adept at slanting facts, twisting them, coloring them, omitting facts that get in the way of their m...

Leadership 2024

Leadership 2024 It’s currently now the year 2024, and in the US of A we’re gonna vote for President this November.  Some choice. Each side making the strenuous case for a mountain of evidence that the other is ... THE WORST!  Hate. Hate. Hate. Black and white. You like him — the red one ... we will cancel you! You like him — the blue one... we'll cancel you!! Third party candidate gets your vote? ... we'll both cancel you!!! Is that what we want from our leaders? For ourselves.  Unless you are already so unconsciously soaked in whichever's narrative side of the aisle propaganda what's been drilled into your head, you most probably lack the self awareness to see above the fray. Or even comprehend there might be another way to look at it. Or — amazing — that there's a level of perspective that sees the game for what it is. A game. Just to win you and me to a side and then steer the ship of state in the right direction. And, maybe, cash in a bit to boot. The saintly Ob...
