TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3

There have been many important dates that have changed life for millions and set history on a new course. Election day 2020 in the USA will be one of those days.

The country has been dragged through the mud for four years by media saturation centered on one man and his warped view of our future.

History will show that year 2020 was a turning point for the United States and by extension much of the free world.

The US electorate showed us in 2016 that they were ready for a change, ready to step away from governance as usual and elect a leader who would form a government for the people, not for the politicians, i.e. "drain the swamp".

The idea was right but as is so often the case, the execution was a shit-show.

So here we are, convinced we made a mistake and struggling with our conscience as we realize governance in a Democracy is, by definition, messy and inefficient but as history tells us infinitely more permanent.

The monarchists in Europe learned this lesson the hard way as did the Americans in 1776. A Monarchy, dictatorship if you will, is far more efficient than a Democracy but in the end more representative of the people, all the people, not just the elite.

We have a choice to make in November, it may be the most important choice we'll make in our lifetimes, don't blow it, we need a landslide.

CHAOS REVISITED

" a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order." Isn't four years of this enough, seriously? The constant media drumbeat, TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP, dominating the headlines, the news shows, and our conversation. This did not happen by accident, this was a calculated strategy by a certified narcissist. "Narcissism: a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others." The Trump supporters say that "this is just Trump being Trump" that, my friends, is precisely the problem. Now that he's lost the election and his sycophants in Congress have replaced their horns with silence, if not acceptance, wouldn't you think the man would suck it up, acknowledge the inevitable, exhibit a modicum of humility and devise an exit strategy that would highlight his accomplishments not feed his addi...

A TALE OF TWO CITIES~A REIGN OF TERROR

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." Charles Dickens Paris in the 18th Century was in turmoil, it was the reign of terror, the French revolution was raging the atmosphere was chaotic. Washington, DC in the 21st Century is in turmoil, the pandemic is raging and the atmosphere is chaotic. Is this an analogy? Maybe, but we need to fill in a few gaps. Paris in 1789 was suffering from unemployment, hunger, and p...

THE LAST HURRAH
