TOWSON, MARYLAND, Thursday, July 19, 2018: I am back. I last posted in November of 2017. Beginning in April, 2017, both of my parents passed after prolonged illnesses. Both were Gods' gifts to their offspring, which consisted of myself and my sister. They are sorely missed by me among others.
In fact, the passing of my father just a few days ago has focused my emotions on the loss of my mother like nothing else possibly could.
As my father lay in home hospice, about to pass, it forced me to confront the fact that I am now the oldest of my immediate family. Predictably, all hell has broken loose in just the few days since he passed. I will not be permitted to grieve. Something similar happened to my wife back when her mom passed not long after her dad did the same. New I am beginning to understand what she tried to tell me.
Writing has always been a way to cope for me. Now, I turn to it again.
The world has tried hard to implode. Strangely, a man nobody could possibly have thought of as a champion has emerged to be just that. Donald Trump was always a bellicose, bombastic business genius with little apparent interest in world geopolitics. When the man who sadly left a legacy of abject failure - Barrack Obama - was mercifully forced from the White House at the end of two failure-filled years, it looked for all the world like Hillary Clinton would take his place; only more certain miserable failure could follow because Hillary Clinton is not a good person. She never was. How her nomination was possible demonstrates that lack of real leadership in the party. Hillary is the opposite of sane leadership. The party that gave America Roosevelt, Truman, and Kennedy now gave us an Ultra-Leftist who despised all things American, to be followed by a sour old nincompoop.
Incredibly, the GOP nominated Donald Trump to challenge Hillary in the autumn, 2016 General Election. Incredibly, Trump won.
Among other things, the Trump victory has forced the USA to come to grips with the reality that one of their two political parties is no longer capable of governing. The Democrats have lurched far to the left. America responded by dumping the Dems from office in unprecedented numbers. Instead of a long-overdue re-evaluation of the trend of the party to the ultra-left, the Dems doubled down, selecting two ultra-leftists to run their party. This guaranteed more failure.
In a move of almost mind-numbing minsdlessness and open cruelty, the Dems have elected to openly abandon white democrats, almost openly forcing whites into the arms of the GOP.
The GOP has not acted with assuredness. They must continue to attract all voters of all races, sexes and religions. They must pound the Dems for their decisions of exclusion, decisions that are openly evil.
History has taught little to the ultra left That much is clear. Whether the GOP is capable to leading in the absence of sane opposition is not yet clear. All Americans must pray that they can.
In the coming hours and days I will patch together my views on the state of our nation and other issues of relevance. I hope this becomes regular and dependable. I invite your responses.
