https://www. +++ The two articles I am writing are not easy because I admit I am conflicted. The first is complex and the second , avowedly, involves generalities while at the same time includes equally complex realities.Please indulge. What justifies Trump's recent behaviour? It is no secret Trump has done many things that leave, even me, shaking my head in both disbelief as well as despair. I know he is narcissistic, insecure and self-centered. I also know he is not above lying or slanting the truth as he would have it known. I also believe some of his behaviour is driven by negotiating tactics. Specific to pre and post election events, I believe Trump correctly warned Democrats were seeking ways to defeat his likely re-election and one was to encourage and support changes in voting behaviour and regulations. We know Democrats engaged in despicable activities in order to wreck his administration, so they could impeach him. Therefore, when hundreds of voters proved willing to file affidavits claiming fraud and misbehavior and state judges decided they could ignore their own legislators and constitutions, that cannot be totally dismissed. That is a fact. Why none of these allegations were never explored in a proper judicial setting I cannot understand. Swearing an alleged activity, in an affidavit, if intentionally done falsely carries risk. Therefore, these allegations should have been explored if only to resolve doubt and to assure further elections are honest and believed as such. Having said that and the fact that Trump and his advocates were totally rejected carries some weight but also this does not satisfy that every rejection was justified. We know the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is liberal and the justices decided their own legislature had no standing with respect to making laws. There were at least several other states whose actions are questionable and should have been explored. Consequently, Trump is justified in believing something rotten occurred, has every human right to feel aggrieved and the election was stolen because that was the Democrat's goal all along. Where the conflict occurs is whether his current is something I both can understand and support. If Democrats have perpetrated the theft of a presidential election, as many claim they have, this would be a tragedy as well as a dangerous precedence in this nation's sordid political history. Therefore, I come to two conclusion: b) Trump apparently decided to burn the house down in order to roast the pig. He has elevated a schism within the Republican Party. In doing so, it may replace the schism that already existed in the Democrat Party. Consequently, Trump's attacks on those within his own party for their failure to support his efforts to resist the alleged and unproven theft of his re-election may have some merit on a very personal level but when viewed in the larger scope of what is involved it also could be overkill. Do I side with Senator's Cotton and Mc Connell or with Senator's Cruz and Hawley? Do I ignore both and side with Trump? What is the correct decision and in the best interest of my nation? The second article traces my views of the Democrat Party and liberals in general. All parties are a composite of many holding different political views. When Sam Nunn was a Senator, Democrats included segregationists, moderates and northern/eastern liberals and progressives. A Republicans began their political rise it had an impact on Democrats who began to move further left. Today the Democrat Party consists of truly far left radicals, and some centrists and lingering progressive liberals. The radicals seems to have become the face and voice of the party as their influence has grown. The segregationists are now extinct. My problem with Democrats is, like most politicians, they are hypocrites. Some more so than others. Their policies are predicated on appealing to retaining/creating loyal voting blocs through identity politics and this causes fractured loyalty and the nation loses in the process. Democrat patronage to unions results in lost educational opportunities, particularly for black Americans. By keeping blacks less educated it remains easier to convince them Democrats care all the while blacks continue being used and abused. Trump actually did more for blacks by instituting policies that made the economy expand so jobs and higher wages were the resulting consequence. Hispanics have been convinced Republicans are elitists and yet Democrat policies of open borders increases competition for jobs and lowers wages for work many Hispanics perform. There has been a shift in who is now served by The Chamber of Commerce. Corporate America is now overwhelmed with liberal billionaires who run technology companies. What about radical demands of defunding police? Certainly crime has ballooned and that does not serve the interests of the beleaguered whom Democrats profess they care about. In fact sanctuary cities and disregarding enforcement of many former crimes does not serve the entire nation's interests regardless of race and color. Here again, it was Trump who addressed and eliminated certain egregious penalties unfairly directed at blacks. Is life better off when Democrat mayors and governors tolerate rioting and destruction of public property including police stations? When Democrats multiply nomenclature pertaining to how males and females are defined what benefit accrues to the nation? Does the elimination of the word "amen" protect us from the rise of China's navy (PLAN) and desire to control the seas or does it reduce domestic prejudice?(See below.) When Democrat anti-Semites attack our relationship with Israel and ignore what Trump, his son-in-law, and our ambassador to Israel accomplished with the Abraham Accords what benefit accrues to world peace? Will today's election of two radicals seeking Senate Seats and giving Democrats control of the three branches of government serve the better instincts of the Founding Fathers who sought checks and balances in governance? What interests of our society are served by the embrace of socialism, more government control over our lives and our health? I once found much that appealed to me about Democrats. That was when the Democrat Party , in my opinion, served the interests of the nation. Then the party began to weaken our militarily, our trade position, thus, a diminished middle class, raise taxes in order to support backward and radical social policies and you know the rest. Perhaps my 1950's education at Wharton turned me against Democrats because I was taught about Capitalism, discovered Ayn Rand, Hayek and others who challenged my thinking and opened my eyes to the opiate Democrats were serving the masses. Whatever it was, I no longer have much respect for liberals and what they profess. I visited some mid-western cities where American values still rule their way of living, comprise their core values and dictate their thinking. Patriotism still is something admired, serving the nation is something treasured. I found I related more to the core beliefs expressed in our Constitution when I attended law school than the nonsense liberals wanted me to swallow. That does not mean I embrace the Republican Party because they too have drifted away from their professed values, fear fighting for their beliefs and disgust me when they talk a good game about spending and then act like kids in a candy store. So I am a man without a party in a sense as I independently pick and choose. However, the offerings are getting thinner/slimmer and the pickings less attractive. I still love my country but no longer am confident it will survive as it was intended nor is capable of standing up to the Chinese menace. I admit to being a pessimist and hope I am proven wrong. Meanwhile, Trump did a lot to convince me America could change course but Democrats and their (m)ass media friends (see below) and Obama holdovers made it difficult for him to achieve all he could and his own unorthodox ways and personal peculiarities cost him immeasurably because far too many were directed to focus on his warts. Today's election results may not be known quickly because delay suits the goal of Democrats and we seem to have too much infighting within those who are at the top rung of State Government. I hope Republicans retain the Senate and voted accordingly only because Biden , in my opinion, will prove to be a disaster, will not serve his full term and Kamala is Obama's Edward Hyde. Time will tell. It always does. +++ Billions a year are spent using tax payer dollars to pay for pet projects of those in Congress whose campaigns are then laundered and no one has the guts or desire to stop this abuse. This is why unions and salaries of local and state employees exploded under Andy Stern's control and have grown in proportion to average wages. Their increased wages are preferred status has been used to fund the political campaigns of those who voted favorably for this occurrence. Yes, we have the best government money can buy and this is why we are, in part, in the current mess. There is far too much money in politics. Over $600 million will have been spent in todays campaign in Georgian alone. That is sinful. PBS: This Segment PROVES PBS Hates Republicans And Trump +++
