MANIC MIDTERMS

The midterm elections are finally over; well, almost, because there is still a runoff election later this year. It was one of the most interesting and boring at the same time with negative advertising beating out anything positive most of the time. The advertising was overwhelming with my telephone belonging to the politicians and not available for my use. I probably missed quite a few calls because I refused to answer it anymore. It rang twenty times a day and into the night waking me up many times. The mail was just as bad with ten to twenty large cards with political advertisements each day. The mail box was full. The television ads were constant, and because I live in West Virginia but receive Pittsburgh stations, we received double. Between Casey and Manchin, I have had enough negativity to last for a long time.

DEM CONSPIRACY MAYBE

We have a new Supreme Court Associate Judge after we went through the process and then tried to destroy a complete family for political power. I have tried to understand how adults who are in government and the press could look at only that which fits their agenda and politics and not try to delve into the meat of the circus. The conservative news did not try to dissect the Democrats’ actions and just disagreed with their assumptions. Now that it is over, I have tried to look back at the complete scenario and tear it apart.

GOOD AND EVIL

I wrote an article about an illness that I have been dealing with and used it to express some thoughts about the “Affordable Care Act.” The other part of this story is my relationship with my God, and suddenly it became important to me to tell the rest of the story. During the last days of my symptoms and before I had a diagnosis, I was sitting down and wondering what was going on with my health. At 80 years old, one does think about longevity now and then. As my depression increased I suddenly felt warm and was turned to think about a friend who was also having a problem. I became aware that I was being pushed to think about someone else rather than myself. I was going to be all right. I had just experienced Jesus answering my prayers with a push to help someone else. I had seen and felt the Good present in the Universe.

It’s election time, and other than the Supreme Court antics, the for and against Obamacare is alive once more with the left still believing that everybody is covered with health insurance and the right knowing that is not true. I have heard from my liberal friends about their love for the Affordable Care Act, but all who love it are insured by their employer and have never had to go to the website to get insurance. They have not seen those who did and can’t use it because of the high deductibles. So let’s leave this for a while, and let me tell you a story about our modern healthcare system.

SEDITION ACT IS WHERE?

Yesterday was Sunday, and as usual I went to church. When I came back home, I sat in front of the TV to listen while I read the newspaper. The TV was tuned to Pittsburgh ABC, and I left it there to get some local Pitt news later. Martha Raddatz was anchoring for George, and I listened as she did the normal start to the Sunday show, which is about 10 minutes of negative Trump. Later she invited a panel on the show, of whom I knew none, but I did not care as I was still reading. The discussion started about impeaching Trump and caught my ear. For the next 20 minutes ABC News pondered when the left should start to talk about the upcoming impeachment. There was no discussion of “high crimes and misdemeanors” or any other reason for impeachment. By the way, impeachment means indictment—not conviction and removal. So many are being misled about the left’s intentions because they will not have enough votes in the Senate to convict—the same that happened to Bill Clinton. There was no discussion as to why there would be an impeachment but simply that there would be one and when was the best time for Democrats to talk about it. Mainly, it was discussed that such talk would help or hinder the mid-term elections, and as impeachment was a sure thing that was the only issue. Would talk of it help elect more Democrats or would keeping quiet about it help the election of Democrats?
