HOPE FOR GOOD CHANGE Week of
2018/07/23
It seems more and more like there really is true hope for change for
the better
in the District of Columbia. PRESDT-45 appears to be on course to "drain the
swamp" at least in Washington but slowly. Also his two Supreme Court
nominations
within fifteen months after taking office appear to be top-notch from a
'follow the
words of the Constitution' standpoint. The first of course having been
approved and
sworn into office. It also appears the Senate Pro-Tem McConnell has found
some
back-bone and is ready to carry the ball on the second. In this, second
case, the
name, Kavanaugh, is the third time in my life a person or that name has
appeared.
The first was in 1941 when one of the priests at Cascia Hall was
named
Kavanaugh. Because, it seems, likely that his demeanor and humor caused
there to
be only two of the 105 students who really liked him, myself and J. A.
LaFortune, Jr.
My closest memory of Rev. Kavanaugh is the most vile smelling cigars he
chose to
smoke. You could smell them for days. The second was in 2010 when, having a
necessary move, the realtor chosen carried that name plus Nancy. She was
dedicated hard working and necessary to my needs.
It is most unfortunate that the totally biased national media, in
all areas of
operation, are so opposed to the new 'sheriff in town' that little if
anything good
makes it to reporting status. As a result those utterly vociferous and
disruptive
paid 'protesters' are given total coverage while the beneficial
accomplishments of
our forty-fifth President remain known only to those of us minority who take
the
time and effort to find the truth. These include, but are not limited to,
installing a
new Supreme Court justice who had a stellar record in an appellate court and
already has made good decisions, nominating another with an impressive
appellate
court record including a reported 12 opinions adopted without change on
appeal to
the Supreme Court. Taking strong stands on border security to the point that
invasions by illegal aliens is reported substantially down. Using strong,
rather than
apologetic and weak, approaches to other nations' officials and thus earning
their
respect and cooperation. Convincing Congress to pass major tax reduction and
reforms resulting in a major increase in the business activity and pay
increases to
their employees.
On the other hand, the increasing boldness of those involved in
'protests' to
the point of outright violence to the level of rioting reminds me of the
actions of the
Bolshevists in Czarist Russia, fascists in Italy and Nazis in Germany on the
way to
taking over those governments. Many thousands of honest and peaceful
citizens
were killed or imprisoned along the way. My concern is that a repetition of
those
actions is under way here which, they plan, will result in the USA as a
"Representative Republic" being destroyed and replaced by just another
worthless
dictatorship with the citizens reduced to slaveryhood at the whim of the
rulers.
Remember that the life span of those ruthless types has been limited to less
than
100 years while our form of government has just been celebrated as 242
years.
To see it last another two or three hundred years will take a
monumental
change of coarse in the way our families operate, our return to GOD as our
guide,
and our dedication to become much more objective in our evaluation of
candidates
for elective office. It is far past time where this should happen and the
selection of
candidates result from an informed opinion on the person and her/his record
rather
than fancy speeches, advertisements, and personal appearances.
Of course, the first thing such would be despots will do is to
remove guns from
the possession of the populace, that is us. As long as our right to weapons
for self
defense is protected, we are relatively safe from such a take-over. I should
be
remembered that after World War II ended the records of the Japanese
military
indicated that they had original intention to invade the US mainland but
decided it
would be disastrous to their military because we were so privately armed,
and
qualified to make use of the weapons, and ready to use them in defense of
ourselves
and our Nation.
It is hoped that PRESDT-45 will continue his quest to restore our
freedoms
that have been so eroded during the period beginning with the Woodrow Wilson
administration in 1913. This has happened piece by piece so that, like the
proverbial frog in a saucepan of water on the stove, we haven't noticed the
losses.
Yes it will take some effort and attention on our collective parts,
including an
aggressive effort to re-educate the generations that have become misguided
by
media and a diverted education system!!
