On November 5th the British celebrate a rather unusual holiday. They stack up old furniture and items that will burn and place an effigy of a man named Guy Fawkes on top and set it on fire. The Guy goes up in flames once more for his attempt to destroy the houses of Parliament and destroy the English way of life. If you have doubts Google it and I am sure you will be given the information just as presented.
What is the point, you may ask, which means you have been under a rock somewhere or totally brainwashed. We have our day and it is Jan 6 and I am guessing you can figure out who to burn and it is not Jack Smith.
A person that posted numerous threats on social media has been killed in Utah. His hope was that he could kill the President and that his name would go in the history books because he did a notable thing and followed the path set by his MAGA leader. This man’s name and that of the MAGA leader should be removed from all publications because fame is what they are looking for and obscurity is what they should receive. The MAGA leader has called for this type of violence more times than most wish to count, against the President, Vice-President, prosecutors of crimes named against the leader as well as witnesses and possible jurors for these trials. How did we get such a person into our political system?
The bigger question is how do we redeem the people that have so willingly followed him down the rabbit hole? Taking back the ability to actually think things through and not allow rumor mill purveyors from controlling the action is one positive step. So many have the attitude that if you do not see things the way I see them then you are stupid, uniformed, a communist or whatever and the truth is that without the influence of the alternate thought process we would make no progress in anything.
So things we really should not have developed better ways for, going to war, killing each other, are two that come to mind, but we have needed the progress in how to feed our populations, advance medicine, better travel and I am sure there are more to add to the list.The point is that not everything’s meant for everyone. We do not all crave the same kind of foods, or to drive the same kind of car, there has to be more choices than one. Those choices may not work for you but they work for others and as long as the choice is legal and it does not involve your participation each of us needs to step back and appreciate the point of view of others.
We seem to have a notice from the Supreme Court that Trump can no longer run for office.If this is the case then his trials should not be delayed by any campaigning. The fact that the 14th amendment has been invoked, or so it has been said, then there is no campaign for him to be in and none of his constipation problems should affect anything. Now proceed to try him as you would any other felon and put him in jail where he belongs and get it over with.
Sounds cruel to say a person of his age should go to jail, but since he should have been there years ago it is about time. If they can tie the attempts on the lives of prosecutors and the international crimes that he has reported to have been involved in then try him in the world court and get it over with. His bs and the clenched fist and all the other posturing he has done as well as telling all the fools that voted for him that he was going to do so much and he did nothing but enrich himself.
His current complaint of many, is that he can not get a fair trial in DC or Georgia or NY and everybody is picking on me. So let us have a trial and have the jurors made of his peers, namely former presidents. There are not that many still among us so take their vote and look to history for the other opinions and see if he is guilty or not. Chances are you are not going to find any that wished to get rid of the Constitution, none that agree with the idea that their tour in office was simply for the purposes of personal enrichment. All senior officials have done very well in terms of wealth after being in the WH so they know the difference between out and out fleecing the country for personal gain.
How many owned hotels in DC that were the promoted place to stay by anyone and everyone wanting to be looked favorably on by the President? How many had golf courses that they ran off to every weekend and took all the security force with them. Those people had to stay at the golf course and eat there and at taxpayers expense. The rooms were more than likely rented for the duration of his term of office. Holding rallies so the enlightened ones could have another chance to hear and see their savior, oh, and donate more money to his never ending need to be enriched to keep up his lifestyle, after all the Presidency was a cut in pay for the great one.
So let’s have the trial and if he is found guilty of treason do what has traditionally been done with all traitors, look it up in history. If you have doubts about the fate think Napoleon, Mata Hari, Mossilini, Cesar, just to name a few. That fate sounds harsh but being locked up for the rest of your life would be no picnic especially in a maximum center where you have access to nothing, no news, no visitors, no contact of any kind, just being fed and watched until the day you are no more, good times.

What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
I would say the most important thing I carry is a sense of humor because if you can find levity in the absurdity we live in you’re absolutely going lose your mind.

I already did a post about stupid bumper stickers, but I saw one today that I had to comment on. The quote covered the entire back window of an SUV…
‘I’m just a normal MOM’
‘Doing my best to NOT raise liberal children.’
I so badly wanted to chase her down and ask ‘WHAT?’
Here is a quote from JFK,
“If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal”, then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.”
― John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage
What that being my basis for what a liberal is I am wonder what kind of children that this person is raising… I suppose she wants her children to feel self-righteous and entitled with zero empathy for another. That’s awesome, just what the world needs more narcissistic bullies that only feel that they should have dominion over whatever they see fit to claim as their own.
This fits into the mentality that the ‘former guy’ has given license to. I heard a pastor talking about Christ Sermon in the Mount. Sermon on the Mount, a biblical collection of religious teachings and ethical sayings of Jesus of Nazareth, as found in Matthew, chapters 5–7. It teaches that God’s children are those who act like God. The teachings of the sermon are often referred to as the “Ethics of the Kingdom”: they place a high level of emphasis on “purity of the heart” and embody the basic standard of Christian righteousness.
One of the parishioners asked the pastor, where did you get that liberal crap from?
So I guess now the Moral Minority has decided that Christianity that is supposed to follow the teachings form the New Testament is too LIBERAL. The name’s sake of their ‘supposed’ faith was weak and his lessons that have been disseminated for 2 plus centuries is no longer the model they wish to emulate.
I am very confused that the people that profess themselves to be Christian but have non compassion for anyone be themselves. I will honestly admit that I do not follow a faith, religion is great organized religion is a farce only meant to fleece it followers.
These bearers of false witness claim that liberals are portraying Jesus as WOKE and that isn’t at all what is in the Bible… Not only was Jesus woke, but the gospels make it clear that He ministered in a way that showed that being woke meant serving, living and loving. And yet, Jesus never carried a billboard or led a political protest. He never incited any insurrection against the Temple or Roman rule or even spoke in overtly political tones. All he did do was flip over the money changers tables in the temple in opposition to the Pharises fleecing the people.
For all of those who don’t agree read the book that has been printed and translated more than any book in history… Jesus, as described by his disciples, was a sandal wearing, hippy socialist that hung out with a bunch of dudes and the infirmed. Absolutely wasn’t carrying an AR15 and screaming at those that disagreed with him.
This post probably pissed some people off and that’s ok. Just hope it made some recognize hypocrisy.

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
When I started the blog, the idea was to have three generations of authors, a Boomer, Gen X and a millennial so everyone had their view of topics based from their point on the timeline. So far my millennial has dropped out so I am looking for someone to contribute that is a millennial. The only points of view so far are from my father who was born in 1945 and mine born in 1967.

What Ifs…
Dwain Northey (Gen X)
It is narrow minded and egocentric to just imagine an alternate reality for just yourself, unless all your imagined string of the infinite multiverse is that you have unlimited resources or were born into a different family or ethic group. Those things seem to me to be the only alternate realities that would not impact the whole of society.
If you are someone that believes that there are innumerable strings of reality. In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. This in theory would create different realities on each individual string, some very similar and others very different.
The string that I would like to exist on is a string that in the evolution of mankind greed and borders were a concept that happened. In that reality mankind would understand that all life in this spinning blue ball was connected and war and prejudice are counterproductive.
The dystopian reality we live in has from the beginning pitted one against another for any number of reasons. Our current reality has spent uncounted resources on destroying others that share the same DNA structure but don’t share the same skin color or believe in the same deity. Image a reality where all those resources went to solve problems, cure diseases, lift up your fellow man instead of keeping them down.
That is the alternate universe I want to live in.
