THE NEW UNITY

     The campaign by Joe Biden from his cellar promised that if he were elected he would unite America and reach out to both sides of the isle. There would be a new unity and bringing people together was his greatest priority. Well he was elected and the new unity has started to be realized by at least half of the country. One of Biden's prior statements was that Trump was acting like a dictator by using Executive Orders. I guess Biden has decided to be a bigger dictator than Trump since he has surpassed Trump by many the number of Executive Orders that he has signed. In fact he has surpassed all of the previous presidents in trying to rule by fiat.  I do not quite understand this action because he has both houses of Congress to pass his wishes but he can't wait or those pulling his strings such as Susan Rice and Valery Jarret are in a hurry to erase  anything that Trump did before anyone realizes that the country needed it.

Coup d'e.tat or Coup de grace

     I just wrote a blog about the incursion at the nation's capitol and here I am again.  The democrats had their Coup d'e.tat  after 4 years and a somewhat questionable election and you would think that they would be jumping for joy. Biden campaigned on bringing the country together and going across the aisle to heal the political divisions but apparently that is for later. Nancy and her democratic party want more. They want a coup de grace and complete destruction of Trump before he leaves office. My last blog accused the left of constant bullying and reasoned that it left a scar that will not heal soon. Now that they have won both houses and the oval office they are not happy but want to stomp on Trump and his 75,000,000 supporters. I have been hearing  once again that we are being called Nazis and again the ones doing the calling really do not know what a Nazi is. I grew up during WWII and remember exactly what they were and it is a little scary to see the parallels between the liberals and their co-conspirators the media's actions of late. Banning books from schools and shutting down media sites for conservatives are exactly what the Nazis did when they reached power. They were not happy with gaining power but continued to destroy anyone that disagreed with them and then the "Final Solution" came along, What is happening in this country right now is very scary to me and anyone that lived  through the war with the Nazis. The actions against President Trump in his last 9 days may have repercussions for years and this country may never recover to guarantee the freedoms we once enjoyed. The actions by a few at the capitol may be magnified if the coup de grace is carried out. As of now  Biden has decided to be president for,only, those that voted for him since he will not condemn further destruction of his political foes. What a shame!

VIOLENCE IN AMERICA

     Years ago there was rioting in the streets of Los Angeles over the beating of Rodney King by police.  It was an epic experience to see this on television every night on the news shows. The reaction to the beating was terrible for the city and the businesses that were ruined and then those involved were never prosecuted. The riots were for naught because nothing was ever done to reform the way police treated black defendants at the time. We have seen the continuation of these actions again and again in St. Louis, Baltimore and so on with calls for defunding the police and never really trying to understand the reasons that caused the riots in the first place. Burning your place of residence because you are mad at a  police department is kind of stupid. Destroying your neighborhood businesses and your neighbors' livelyhood is beyond stupid and is criminal but very few ever were charged for their crimes. In fact our new Vice-President helped to raise money to pay bail and fines of the rioters that were arrested and therefore giving approval to their actions. The city of Portland Oregon is still under siege and  has been for months with no call to end it by the democrats that are in power or the new President or Vice-President. President Trump's attempts to aid in the situation were repeatedly rebuffed by the governor and mayor. The riot continues and the people affected have no recourse but to move out of the area. The call from the left is  to approve the rioting and blame it on the police. As police funding has been decreased the crime rate has risen with no acceptance of responsibility by those making the decisions to reduce the police forces.

INFRASTRUCTURE

    I just drove to Pittsburgh this morning and once again had to slow to 45mph through Washington, PA due to construction. This construction is on  about 2 miles of interstate where rt 70 and rt 79 coincide until they split at the other end of the town. This was one of Obama's shovel ready projects that was supposed to stimulate the economy just after he took office. It has lasted for 11 years and is still ongoing. I can't imaging the cost of 11 years of road construction at union wage scale and at the rate of progress it would take 100 years to rebuild interstate 79 alone. 

BLOGGING AT 80

    Blogging has been  new experience for me and after three years I wonder why I did not start sooner. After retirement I started to watch more of the cable channels and the items discussed caused me to start writing letters to the editor. One letter that I wrote contradicted an article by a retired political science professor and the paper refused to print it because they decided that the prof knew more about the subject than I did. They also disagreed with my position which was that this country's founders would not have been happy about Obamacare and would be turning over in their graves. At that point I stopped writing. A friend that I had worked with called and asked if I would be interested in attending a night class on blogging with him. I said yes and we both finished the class. I was introduced to many free web sites that allowed anyone to start using them to write a blog and I tried a couple of them but they were clutsy and not easy to use. My friend Mark put me in touch with another IT guy that he had worked with and I hired him to create my blog web site. I asked if he wanted me to use his name and he said yes. Tim Crowe from Morgantown, WV, built  the web site that I am using and maintains it. That was three years ago and I started to write blogs after my eightith birthday. I'm eighty three now and still have a lot to say but by putting it  into a blog you don't have to listen unless you want to.
