A Citizen Legislature
We have been operating our government contrary to its design... & very obviously it isn’t working. Much good has come from the last 4 years, (I am not here to argue that today) but the best that’s come from the latest “Revolution” in our country... the average, ordinary Americans have become much more educated about our Constitution, how our gov't is to work for the citizens, the SWAMP in every community across the country is being exposed, & citizens are taking action to resume their position as rightful owner of this government & it's operation. When the people fear government there is tyranny, & that Woman in Lansing has been counting on just that reality... when the gov't fears it's citizens there is freedom.

Tell Tale Heartless
While Trump continues to ignite a furor over his election loss we have to understand that when public officials, police, and armed forces act above the law anarchy rises. These people including Donald Trump are sworn to serve and protect the public. And, yet over the past 35 years there have been more instances that have given rise to anarchy in our streets. When the United States has been subjected to years of disingenuous policies the political corruption that is now at the highest levels we have seen in decades has increased the numbers of impoverished millions to unprecedented levels. Not since the Great Depression has America seen such wide spread homelessness, starvation and acute poverty.

"Midnight In A Perfect World"
14DEC2020; 2315, MON. Dear Fam, Tell me, Brother Man, ever heard the adage "the money don't really make me whole"? My first time hearing it was likely somewhere around the time that the beautiful and talented rapper, Noname (formerly known as Noname Gypsy), decided to open up her debut mixtape with that line way back eons ago on 7JUL2016.

Somewhere in the Middle
First let me introduce myself. I am 48-year-old mom of five boys. I was born in Virginia to a Navy sailor who served his country with honor. My mother was from Florida and my dad from Missouri. When I was about 2 and a half, we moved to the Missouri Ozarks. I was raised to respect everyone regardless of sexual orientation, race, religion or political beliefs. I have fought a mostly silent battle for many years. It seems my beliefs that fall into the political realm do not fit with either of the major parties. This leaves me stuck in some very uncomfortable positions. Most people of my acquaintance fall rabidly one way or the other.

The Deadly Games Played By Congress
With all the hype played up by the media concerning the vaccine to eradicate Covid-19 there remains concerning questions about the actual long range affects and how successful is this vaccine in stopping the spread of this very deadly virus. There is a distinct probability of more mutations stemming from this one Covid-19 virus that very few are addressing. We have already seeing the very deadly results of what this virus is doing. The United States continues to record record number of infections and deaths just within the past two months. And, yet the Trump Administration and the Republican led Congress have long since played with peoples lives and livelihoods by not taking direct and concise action to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 and to usher in the much needed financial aid to curtail what is becoming an catastrophic humanitarian catastrophe.

Democracy lives
Our Country has become a people of spoiled, entitled and frankly a nation of ungrateful whiny Adults. Children knows right from wrong, bad from good, black and white, but as of today, us Adults choose to vote against the interests of themselves and others. Why are we so afraid of Healthcare for all? Why are we afraid of "Black lives matter"? Why are us Christians hateful towards follower's of Muhammad?

Democracy Held Hostage
Written by TJ Hyland - December 11, 2020 An email hit my inbox this morning titled, “bad news (re. Electoral College),” but when I opened it up, it read more like a threat, telling me I had better take action now! It’s from the DNC. I always read these to see what tactics they’re using on the sheeple these days. This one is about abolishing the electoral college, and it reads, “This is a hard email to write. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and John Oliver. Everyone warned you… But we’re about to miss our major $15,000 fundraising deadline for the Abolish the Electoral College Fund. And sadly, we just checked… Progressive donations are PLUMMETING!!! If we CAN’T raise the remaining $9,391 for our Abolish the Electoral College Fund, then we will HAND Republicans a HUGE victory. REMEMBER: Republicans NEED the Electoral College to win…”

I Miss It!!
My Friends, It may or may not be hard for you to believe, but we are now a year into COVID-19. It was first discovered last December in Wuhan China. Since then nearly 300 thousand people have lost their lives with close to 20 million lives directly impacted; just inside the proverbial walls of these states united. Then we have the remaining 320 million.
