Thus, The Battle Begins

Today, August 18th, 2020, Fecklesss Leader said the following in a speech on the tarmac in Wisconsin:
"We are going to win four more years. And then after that we'll go for another four years, because they spied on my campaign. We should get a redo of four years."

Don't believe me? Hear him for yourself:
Yeah, he'll walk it back and say he was kidding. Don't believe that for a New York minute. He's not kidding.

Tonight begins the 2020 Democratic National Convention, and yes, I am watching. 

I think that Biden-Harris will actually win this election. I have less faith that Biden will be sworn in as POTUS  on January 20, 2021.

The successful fracturing of this nation is happening before our eyes. Racism and anti-Jewishism has increased exponentially. COVID deaths continue to spiral upwards with no end in sight, and Feckless Leader continues to dismiss science in favor of demon sex, alien DNA, and magic oleander oil cures developed by pillow-pushers. The absence of  science is just slightly ahead of the absence of civility from this White House; the void is but a harbinger of the dark abyss into which We, the  People, are being pushed by an administration that cares nothing for the good and welfare of this nation.  

The dismantling of USPS is, I'm guessing, the test run for dismantling Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. If they can get rid of a Constitutionally guaranteed postal service, getting rid of the other two will be simple. Nothing is done in this administration without a long line of dominoes lined up behind it. If you really want an example, look to the regulations on methane that were rolled back today. Not a glamorous issue, it's a quietly deadly one. 

The choice, obviously, is ours to make. Think carefully about how you want the world to look in 25 years. 25 years is not a long time. But when you look out the window, what do you want to see?

Listen to the speeches. Listen to what the politicians are promising. But most of all, listen to the voices of your heart...and the hearts of small children in your town. 

What future are we providing for  them?

The Wifely Person's Tip o'the  Week




It may look like a campaign sign for Biden-Harris, but it has more important meanings. 
For the moment, I will go with B'ezrat Ha'Shem...with G-d's help. 

With any luck, after  November 3rd, it  will change to Baruch Ha'Shem...Thank G-d. 
I can think of no better way to mark my parents' 77th wedding anniversary, but
B"H, Dad is not here to witness what has happened to his beloved Republican Party.

  1. I read tonight a column in the Independent, I think, written by a young woman, citing others of her ilk, who won't vote at all because they didn't get the candidate they want. They're picking up their dolls and going home.

    Short-sighted, juvenile, and deadly. If this man is not summarily routed from OUR White House, there is literally no hope for this country. None. Nada.
