NEWS NOTES

Abolish the Police . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

The headline “In Minneapolis, new push to end police after Floyd’s death” leads one to wonder if our Country has gone completely nuts. But there may be some merit in their ideas. Sure we can add a more sophisticated police department. A police department made up of “shrinks, lawyers, medical personnel, and others to respond to our Country’s need for law enforcement. Have we considered the costs involved?

Years ago, security of the community was left to the village idiot to sound the alarm in the event of emergency. Today, law enforcement requires a much different village idiot serve as security of the community. Not so very long ago you needed only a high school diploma to become a policeman. This may be true in some parts of America today but, in some communities now they are looking for Bachelor Degrees before they even accept your application. No, that is wrong. In some communities the would like the applicant to have higher education. Either way, this amounts to a higher paying occupation than the cop of yester-year. Now, lets add the specialized training that will be necessary with the Abolish the Police movement . . .

How much education does a medical/mental health/counselor/lawyer/child care specialist/master of martial arts/marksman cop need? And how many of these medical/mental health/counselor/lawyer/child care specialist/master of martial arts/marksman cops will we need per department? Do you see where I am headed with this? Average annual pay for a police officer in America is around $46,000 today. Where will that figure go when we have to pay for the training for this new super cop? And where are we supposed to get replacements for these super cops from? I haven’t reached the end yet. Our new super cop won’t be allowed to make a mistake and will be required to only return fire when using their sidearm. I may be going out on a limb here but this new village idiot is going to cost us a lot more than todays cop, a lot more

Why do we need the new super cop? We need this super cop because our cops keep hurting and killing people that resist arrest, fail to submit to arrest, and/or suffer from some form of mental illness either resist or act a fool when being arrested or interacting with law enforcement. When did resisting and acting a fool become acceptable conduct? And what about responsibility. The idea that a police officer is to be held accountable for those suffering mental illness is ridiculous. If you have a family member that cannot walk to the corner store and back without getting into trouble, then it is the family’s responsibility to care for this person. And if you let this person roam about unsupervised you share in the responsibility of whatever incidents take place.

Do we truly need the new super cop? Not really. Our society as a whole needs to accept responsibility for their actions. If you resist or act a fool you get your ass whipped, it’s on you. Cops don’t get paid enough to put up with bullshit or having to wrestle everyone they deal with. There is no reason to resist or act a fool. If by chance you were arrested unlawfully, sue the police department and get paid for your trouble. What we need is to somehow educate the people on how to act right when dealing with police. If you act right when dealing with police and something negative happens, you have a cop problem which would be a lot easier to identify were people not being the problem.

As for the village idiots out there, why do it? Why put on that uniform every day and try to save people from themselves. The very people you defend don’t support you, your administration and local government doesn’t support you, cops and citizens are getting killed in stupid situations that should not even happen, and you are the only one being held accountable. I would not be a cop in this Country, no matter how much the pay. Stay strong, you are a necessity that some day will be appreciated.

The Post Pandemic Workplace . . . SUCKS!

Rich Cranium1 Comment

The thing most noted about the return to work, is how few are returning to work. And then, how few of those that return actually want to work. I have worked through the entire pandemic with the exception of reduced hours for a few months. Other folks left the job and have yet to return, leaving a big hole in the American workforce.

Retailers such as 7-11’s that usually stay open 24/7 are suddenly closing up during certain hours as they haven’t the employees necessary to keep their doors open. Other retailers are struggling long lines at the checkout stands, again because they lack the necessary employees to handle the task. Has America suddenly become lazy?

Small business Nation-wide have closed their doors. Stores and restaurants that have been in business for many years have given up and closed their doors for good leaving those that they employ jobless. Many of these jobless have discovered that their unemployment benefits coupled with pandemic benefits are making more money than when employed. They may find that sometime in their future they might need these benefits again only to discover that they have exhausted this resource. Unemployment benefits are like the Lottery, You have to play to win.

Bigger business has sent many employees home to work from the comfort of their own homes, many of which do not want to return to their company workspace. While some opf the home workers have maintained satisfactory performance, there are those that lack such quality and perform better with supervision provided in the workplace. Employers have accepted marginal performance during the pandemic, but likely won’t post pandemic.

Our Government has done a “back-ass-wards” in this situation. The Government should be giving those that have worked during the pandemic reward for doing so. Face it, being exposed to the threat of the virus plus actually working while others sat safely at home making more money than you should be commendable and worth something.

Employers anxious to fill vacant work positions are accepting lesser qualified people that are not up to the task at hand leaving others to have to pick up the slack created. What this all leads to is a barren workplace, worked and managed by a skeleton workforce, that ends up doing far more work than they previously had to do, and feeling taken advantage of. Regardless, trying to do your job during this pandemic has been difficult, and it promises to suck post-pandemic.

White America is AFRAID!

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

This should not come as a surprise. White America fears the Black Man. That is the only excuse I can find that allows this farce of Black people being treated worse than Whites.

It is my contention that the data used to demonstrate the treatment of Black people is intentionally flawed to create a racial disharmony.

Why? Simple, racists make money off racism.

The Washington Post’s Police Killings Database does not tell the actual story?

This database fails to demonstrate the actual population percentages that dispute the findings of Black people being 13 percent of the US population.

America’s political machine is afraid they will lose voters if they talk against the current movement in support of Black people.

Lets look at the true facts:

The Washington Post Database of Police Killings says that Black people make up about 13 percent of the US population and this percentage should be relative to the amount of Black people killed by police. NO IT SHOULD NOT! The claim of Black people making up about 13 percent of the US population may be true, but that is all it is good for. Use of such data does not truely reflect the data necessary to demonstrate police killings claims.

According to U.S. Census Bureau, 49.7 percent of the California population is male and 50.3 percent are female. The top five races for people in California are: White (61.8%), Hispanic or Latino (37.2%), Some Other Race (13.9%), Asian (13.1%), Black or African American (6.1%).

But:

As you can see from the data above, the Black population of Oakland, California clearly exceeds the 13 percent claim. Run the data with these population percentages and suddenly not so many Black people killed by police vs population exists. There are still a high rate of Black people killed, but race does not factor near so much. One has to stop playing the race game and ask the right questions.

Why do Black people get killed by police? Black people get killed by police because Black people resist or act a fool when arrested. This is what needs to be fixed. None of the racial claims previously made are supported by use of the relevant population data. What does the use of this data demonstrate? It demonstrates that the percentage of Black people being killed by police should be almost double the 13 percent calculation.

I cannot say if this is true of all cities nation-wide, but it will paint an entirely different picture of the data results. Why hasn’t this data been discussed by our politicians? Because the first to show this disparity between the true data and what the Country thinks is right, won’t be very popular. And most of our most influential people of all colors seem to rate popularity higher than truth.

What all of us need to understand is that there is money in racism. Racism is being created by the people making this money. We are allowing these people to influence us without fact checking their claims. And, we all allow too much playing of the race card when we need to dig deeper to find the true data to resolve issues. C’mon America, let’s move beyond the color of our skin . . .

Okay, Somebody Tell Me . . .

WTF is with grown men beating on little old chinese people? I mean is there honor in beating an old person too old to defend himself? Why old people? Why not young people that might defend themselves? Why not somebody that can stand up to you? I just don’t get it. “I’m a tough guy. I beat up the elderly because they are too old to fight back”.

Recently there have been a couple incidents in which a Black guy pushes an elderly Asain man causing him to fall hitting his head, he later dies. Then this past week a Black guy knocks an Asain woman to the sidewalk and then kicks her repeatedly, while local security guards do nothing but watch. Don’t worry White folk, we know you doing the same shit, just haven’t been caught on film just yet.

We need to put an end to this shit now. There is no honor, nobody thinks you are big, bad, or brave. You are simply stupid and a bully.

First, even if it was China’s fault for the Covid-19 virus, it wasn’t ALL the Chinese people and most certainly was not some old Chinese person that has lived in the U.S. longer than you have been alive. Second, ANYBODY that knows of anyone so stupid to be a participant in this racial violence, tell them how stupid they are.

It scares me that we as a society are allowing this to happen right in our faces ansd we do nothing. The incident where the security guards observed the lady getting assaulted and did nothing, showed something else. A number of people drove right past the situation, did anyone even stop? Didn’t see anybody stop in the film clip.

He takes no guts or heart to beat down the elderly. It takes guts to stop assholes like this. Quit being punks, stop people acting like this. I don’t mean go out and get hurt, bullshit thats exactly what I mean. Stand up for yourself and tell these people to stop their violence and do what you have to. Protect the victim and show them we are not aLL RACIST.

It really is not that hard to fight racism, just grow beyond skin color it doesn’t hurt at all.

And, Racism Again Wins The Day . . .

Oakland launches guaranteed pay plan for low-income people

Title links to story!

The above headline discusses how stupid we are in our efforts to put an end to racism in America. You will have to read the story to make your own decision regarding the racism involved.

First, why is this plan racial in any way. People that should be targeted for participation should be selected based on income and need for the service, not by skin color. There is no need to make such a plan that precludes White participation, unless you are a Racist. Or, do you mean to tell me there are no low-income White people that could qualify for participation?

The facts are simple. Our Government, Leaders of Industry, and the Rest of those supporting such programs don’t understand a damn thing about racism, except how to create it further. Is it racist to give to one person but not another based upon skin color? Would it be racist if it were a “Whites Only” plan?

“This is the first program to limit participation strictly to Black, Indigenous and people of color communities.” How is this acceptable. Do you really believe there are no poor White people that could benefit from this plan?

Their Reasoning: “White households in Oakland on average make about three times as much annually than black households, according to the Oakland Equity Index.” But what about the White households that don’t make so much money? There are at least as many poor White people as there are Black people. You don’t think so? Look around you?

https://www.everydimematters.com/ Budgeting help and information

You cannot fight racism with racism. There should not be any program in the United States today based upon skin color. Every program, plan, offering, or other should be based on need not color. The guaranteed pay plan should be open for anyone that qualifies. It’s not that hard to not be racist. All you need to do is grow beyond skin color. It is not that hard to take the applicants and qualify their participation by their lowest incomes. Look Ma! No skin color involved!

But why is such an idea even allowed consideration? It’s easy! There is money to be made off racism. And I will bet you that the organizers that run this program will all have phat incomes from it. Corporate America is so eager to show their support for Black people that they will donate to anything good or bad.

Grow beyond skin color, then you can fight racism. This Guaranteed Pay Plan is nothing less than racism in progress. If you cannot come up with a program that is not racist, then just leave it alone.

Government Pandemic Robbery

Rich Cranium2 Comments

Are you being robbed by your City, County, or State Government? Many of us are and don’t even realize it.

It seems like half the Country is dependent on Federal Funds to survive presently. Most families are struggling, living day to day with the monies they recieve from unemployment and stimulus benefits. And lots of us also utilize other services from local government. Other than those living the life of the independently wealthy, you have run delinquent on payments for such services. This can become a real issue as time goes on because your local government does not give a raggedy rats ass if you are forced by this pandemic to live off goverment benefits, local government wants their money, plus LATE FEE PENALTY. WTF!

Do we get to charge the Feds late fees while we wait for them to return from week after week of usless negotiations and additional weeks of waiting for the check to arrive. Is the Government delaying paying services so other Government can assess additional penalties to the local citizen?

Should you have to pay late fees or penalties to the DMV, or your City or County during this pandemic? How about taxes due? Give this a moments thought. You have worked your ass trying to get ahead, along comes a simple pandemic that currently has passed the year mark. You have lost your job, possibly your home, and your debts are piling up. DO YOU OWE ANYBODY ANY FORM OF PENALTY. Should any Government agency be assessing such penalties to anyone?

In my opinion, yes my opinion . . . No Government agency should be collecting a single penny from anyone during the pandemic. No taxes, no fees, and no penalties. Why? Because each and every Government Agency has pissed away a whole bunch of cash neglegently since the beginning of this pandemic, and if I cannot collect late or penalty payments against Government, why can they do so to me? How many people have gone from middle-class to homeless while waiting for their unemployment. How many months are we all behind on our rent, utility payments, car payments, and everything else we have suffered a loss from? Is anybody giving us a way to recoup our losses by paying our late fees and penalties.

Late Fees and Penalties can add up quite quickly. Calculate the late fees you are being charged. Your late house, car, or utility bill probably are adding late fees to you if you are at all delinquent in payment to them. Have any of these services re-evaluated what they charge for their services during the pandemic? Are any forgiving late payment fees or penalty during the pandemic.

Why is the Government able to collect on past due taxation when the Goverment has miss-handled every tax dollar they had. Look at the money pissed away via Unemployment. The last thing anyone should have to do is pay any past due debt to Government. Yes, you should still pay your current taxes, but why should you pay a past due tax bill or in any way be negativly impacted by government during the pandemic

What do you think? Use the thumbs-up to indicate you share my opinion that nobody including local Government should be assessing late fees or penalties during the pandemic, thumbs-down to indicate you do not share my opinion.

We can see a lot of people are presently returning to work or going on to new jobs that have become available. Good for them. These people are going to struggle to catch up their debts, but how long is it going to take to catch up all your debts to being current? How many late fees are you going to be forced to pay.

Obama Says . . .

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

In an article written by Aris Folley this morning, he discusses what Former President Obama says relative to “reparations” for Black Americans. If you have not read it, “Obama Says . . .“

The Black Americans seeking such reparations seem to fail to realize that the Black Man did not get to where he is today by himself. White men have fought for racial equality and defended “Civil Rights” for all Americans for at least as long as the Black Man has. Agreed, not all White men have supported such, but Obama was not elected to office soley by the Black vote. And contrary to the belief of many Black Americans, there is a large populace of non-racist White people here in America. And if you are Black and are not familiar with the term “N***** Lover” then you need to go back to the past when White men showing support for racial equality were shunned by other Whites for showing such support and subjected to abuse and ridicule. How many White people have lost their lives fighting for racial equality and defended Civil Rights for all of America?

Every time the Black man has marched, protested, or committed an act of civil disobedience, White men in support have been there. And many more in support have been there in the background casting votes and serving to support most Black causes. At least more than 50% of White America has stood in support of equality and civil rights or no progress would have been made over the past 50 years. The Black Man did nothing alone. Black people seem eager to believe they have suffered something White man hasn’t. Not true! Slaves over one hundred years ago suffered the reality of slavery, none alive today has such experience. What Black people alive today have experienced is racism and civil rights abuses.but if you think about it we as a Nation were enjoying the best racial harmony we have ever had just this past couple years, prior to the incident of George Floyd. Sure there were minor incidents on occaission.but it seemred as though people of all races were getting along and showing respect for one another.

Presently there is tension between the races. And now talk of reparations. I personally have never owned a slave. I have never treated people of color any differently than anybody else. And over the years I have observed that this separatuion that everyone claims is by race, isn’t by race at all. There is a social divide in this Nation of those of wealth and those with less. White priveledge is not an all whites thing, it is a “select Whites and others as they acquire such level of wealth” type of thing. A significant portion of the White population suffers the same abuse that Black people suffer. Yes, there are White people that get followed by security when entering stores, that are pulled over by police when passing through certain neighborhoods, get treated like crap when dealing with County services and the Courts. We get our asses beat down by the cops unless we surrender easily, and we die sometimes while in the custody of others. My point is, THERE IS NOTHING BLACK PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING THAT ISN’T ALSO BEING SUFFERED BY THE OTHER RACES. So when the cry “Black lives matter” or “Reparations” goes out we ask, “What the F***”, “What about us?”

The next consideration we have to deal with is equality. It does not appear as though Blacks want equality, but superiority. Not all Blacks, but a bunch of those in the public eye. We have had a Black President. Now a woman Vice-President, and numerous other politicians. Forty percent of America’s Black population is considered middle class. The equality of the Black man has progressed quite a bit.

Racism is money! Somebody is making money off racism, and they promote racism by their existance. When you support one race over another, develope programs race specific, or give to some without giving the same to others, you have succeeded in creating racism If you want to stop racism, you need good men of all races to manage your services, your law enforcement, your courts, and your communities by looking beyond color to treat all fairly and support all fairly. We have to quit giving to skin color and give to people that need equally and fairly. And we as a populace of this great Nation have to mature to look beyond skin color.

Reparations bill tests Biden and Harris on racial justice

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

That is the headline to an article in POLITICO a few minutes ago. As this movement gains momentum, I have a few questions:

  • Reparations for my family members who gave their lives freeing the slaves?
  • Are there any of those enslaved alive today?
  • Have any Blacks been denied jobs or promotion, given to an unqualified White man instead?
  • Have any White people been attacked by Black people just for being White?
  • Haven’t White people been treated just as poorly by Police and Government as Blacks?
  • When anything is given to one race, where does it come from?
  • Isn’t “Reparations” just a continuation of racism.
  • How do you end racism?

Some people see this reparations bill as a positive act, but is it really? My family members gave their lives fighting to free the slaves. To date, I have not ever heard or seen any Black people give acknowledgement or even a thank you for my relatives contribution. Actually, my whole life I have supported equality of the races. It is a good thing I have done so without expectation of anything in return as not even a thank you offered. To this very day I still support equality of the races but cannot support this bill because it is an insult to my family members that paid the higher cost in giving their lives, and now you expect me to pony up the tax money for this? NO THANK YOU!

Are their any of the Blacks enslaved still living today? If there are, pay them. They lived the abuse, the lack of freedom, and true injustice. Slavery still exists in America, but it is not just Blacks enslaved. People of all colors are being subjected to slavery by people of all colors today. Black people were not brought to America as free men. They were bought as slaves from people of their own color as slaves and brought to America. This is when the wrong-doing was committed. If their are any of those enslaved still alive, please pay them immediately so they might enjoy such payment in their last days.

The term “affirmative action” was first introduced by President Kennedy in 1961 as a method of redressing discrimination that had persisted in spite of civil rights laws and constitutional guarantees. It was developed and enforced for the first time by President Johnson. While there was numerous benefit provided the Black man, such benefit was taken from the White man. Jobs that White men qualified for were given to unqualified Black men. Promotions were given to Black men ahead of White men of higher qualification. College seats were taken from White students with a high gpa and given to Black students with a lower gpa. And this is why any action that gives to one race at the expense of another does not do anything but create additional racism. First thing you must understand is affirmative action did not and does not affect the affluent. Do you want more info on Affirmative Action? See Affirmative Action Laws: Everything You Need to Know

I have never attacked anybody for being a different color than myself, but I have been attacked for being White. How do I know I was attacked because I am White? Because just before I had bricks and rocks thrown at me, one of those throwing such hollered to the others “He’s White! Twice during my life I have been approached by Black men with intent to rob me. I do not know of anyone attempting robbery of a Black person. I know violence against Black people has happened, I believe some Black people have been subjected to racial violence and in some instances such violence observed by many. But, has racial violence by Blacks against all of the other races been of higher incidents.

Claims that Black people are treated worse than the other races by Government, Police, and other agency are simply exagerated data. Most claims use the data that says the Black population in America is 13%, which is true. But only 12 States have a significant Black population. And in those States the Black population is anywhere from 23 to 60 percent of the population. People in America fail to look beyond skin color in this situation. If they were to do so they would note that economics plays the biggest role, as people of this economic group, regardless of color are treated like crap by everybody, including their own. What is the difference between the Black and White races when being arrested by Police? Simple: Blacks act the fool or resist. White people that do the same get their asses beat too. This is a decision made by the person being arrested regardless of color. George Floyd and Oscar Grant did not end up getting killed because they complied. And, in both cases their death was not by intentional act by Police. Neither of these men should be dead today, but still you have to ask the question, “How did he end up on the ground.”

When you give to one race and take from another, do you create fairness or racism? Again, use economics instead of skin color as the problem. Your lower income neighborhoods probably have a good mixture of races, believe it or not. All of similar income. Now give something to one race and not another, what do you have? History is already full of such acts. Do you think there are more Blacks suffering anything more than others? Open your eyes, look around you, see the reality of life today. Giving to one and not the other creates a whole new racism. Reparations will likely create a whole bunch of racism.

How do you stop racism. You treat people as equals regardless any of the applicable factors. There was a news story a short while back in which a White youngster got his ass whooped by a Black guy for repeatedly using the term “My Ni****.” This was inappropriate as Blacks made talking like this acceptable and the White kid must have been mentally suffering to think himself cool acting like that. The Black guy should of just walked away and another White guy should of stepped up and slapped the kid down. For more on this topic, read CanYouBeReal.com

Devaluation of the Nobel Peace Prize

Rich CraniumLeave a comment

The Nobel Peace Prize has been an honor bestowed upon the few that are worthy of such award. I saw a headline that said the Black Lives Matter movement had been nominated for such award. Why not just devalue the award entirely?

The Black Lives Matter movement was never intended to be what it is today. Black Lives Matter was formed by a couple of gay women to highlite the struggles of a young gay athelete I believe, and had nothing to do with anything else. On the day that George Floyd was accidently killed by a negligent police officer, Corporate America was looking for a way to support Black People and based on the name “Black Lives Matter” Corporate America started donating a whole bunch of money to BLM. Social Media was screaming “Black Lives Matter” and the women that formed BLM didn’t say anything about their organization not relative to the George Floyd matter, while they accepted gobs of money in donations. Simply put, right place, right time.

Now some folks say Black Lives Matter is not a racist organization. First becauase by definition Black People cannot be racist and second because some white people believe it isn’t. Well if you believe Black people cannot qualify as racist using the same criteria used for whites, modify the definition a little. And believe me Black people discriminate, show predudice, and treat others poorly based on skin color. Black Lives Matter even believes they are the Master Race. Wasn’t there a White guy who thought he had the Master Race back in history. Black Lives Matter people have threatened the U.S. Government, incited riots, incited violence, and caused millions of dollars in damage to their neighbors . . . All BASED ON LIES!

Selective Data Farming is when somebody farms data to show only certain information. This is how a company can claim it’s product better than a competitor or in the case of Black Lives Matter . . . “Black people are killed by police more than Whites even though they are only 11 to 13% of the population” The trouth is though Black people are 13% of the U.S. population, they only have a significant presense in 10 to 12 states and in those states Blacks are from 23 to 60 percent of the population. And, with the exception of Chicago Whites are killed at least twice as often than others. I cannot explain Chicago.

Killings of Blacks sells newspapers. Face it. It doesn’t matter if the person good or bad, all he has to be is Black and the Black populace will pour out onto the streets screaming of the injustice of it all. White people don’t do this for White people, but will for Black people. White people understand that if they mess around or act stupid they get their ass beat by the cops. When White people see a White dude beat down by the cops they know the guys an idiot that deserved the beating and go on about our business. But when it’s a Black guy beat down, nobody cares what he did, or even if he did. A majority of the Black people of recent protest and more are there by their own act, yet we cry defund the police as though the police are wrong. Yes some of the incidents have been by wrongdoings by police, but for the most part had the person simply complied with the police officer he would be alive today. Go ahead make me the bad guy for telling the truth. It is a fact that most Black people do not allow themselves be arrested without resisting. George Floyd did not end up on the ground with a cops knee in his back because he complied with his arrest. And people think White people get treated differently, but a White guy resists he gets treated the same.

Black Lives Matter would better serve the elimination of racism, by not practicing racism. Our problems are not skin color, it is economics. As long as BLM and America fail to see this, they feed the racism beliefs and continue to promote racism. There are a lot of people that make their money off racism, most use skin color as part of their name. Black Lives Matter being nominated for anything more than racist organization is ridiculous. For the Nobel?

If you want to nominate someone for a Nobel, find the man that treats all men equal.

And A President Disgraces A Nation . . .

Throughout President Trump’s presidency, he has been known to act a little different than your every day politician. This for the most part has been accepted as the poor fella has not had a single day of peace since he was sworn to office. His biggest fan and our Country’s biggest embarrassment throughout his presidency being Nancy Pelosi, who should of been removed from office with the first complaint she chased Trump with. She wasn’t and four years of embarrassment brings us to today.

In all the pursuit to remove Trump from office, Pelosi made a “smear campaign” out of Trump’s every day. But let us not forget why we elected Trump in the first place. The reason we elected Trump was that we had grown tired of lying ass politicians that did nothing and wanted to give a businessman a chance at running the Country. Well Trump never got the chance because Pelosi and her bunch of political assassins pursued Trump like a pack of junk-yard dogs using every bullshit thing they could to cause Trump and this Nation disgrace.

I have no idea what Trump was thinking, but Pelosi didn’t do this one. Yesterday thousands of people converged on Capitol Hill trying to disrupt the counting of the electoral vote, in support of the President and at the encouragement of the President. Four people dead, one by a Capital Police bullet, and 52 arrested in a riot that should not have ever taken place and it was ALL 100% President Donald Trump. The offense bigger than the laws broken is the disgrace this episode brings upon our Nation. The threat to the political folks in the chambers, the violation of Capitol Hill, coupled with the violence that injured many have all been seen worldwide and makes the United States of America look like a bunch of idiots.

Now Trump may not have gotten a fair deal in Office with the Pelosi mob chasing him, but for a President to “in any way” be a participant in this riot, is way too much. How many people could have been hurt or killed? If it continues would it bring about another civil war? Trump took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Trump became the enemy, and he incited others to follow. Not a very Presidential act . . .

You see, what we fail to take note of is our own democracy. In order for democracy to work, we the people have to honor the vote. Never should a citizen have to take a violent or unlawful act to challenge a vote. We might protest, but the job of determining the legality of the vote are the bean counters that count the vote. And, once the determination made the vote legal, it is our responsibility to honor the vote, and if necessary support someone other than who you voted for taking the position voted for. That is what democracy is all about. Subsequent to the most recent presidential elections we have failed to honor the vote and accept the winner into Office. You may not like the one elected, but you still need to honor the vote.

I’m sorry Donald Trump, but you have violated a great many laws of the United States of America and it is time you surrender your keys to the executive washrooms and go back to Trump Hotel and stop bringing disgrace upon our Nation.
