Feb. 10th, 2025, and cold is still here, of course in Massachuetts, and it is early am a lilttle after 6:30 am. The coldness outside, causes havick with my back, which has been injuried now since 1982. I was injuried in a fall aboard a Navy ship back then. So I have suffered and still suffer today from the discs I herniated then. I go on using muscle relaxers, traction, back braces and taking it as easy as I can daily. For no matter what I am alive and still kicking, after turning 69 in January.
I try to keep a positive outlook on life for myself and anyone around me. Going in the opposite direction does not help at all. I use my braces, hot water soaks and muscle relaxers, I lay down as needed and sit when needed. Yet, I refuse to give up, even if the pain gets me at times. I have learned, you can try to handle the pain, manage it the best you can, and keep going, or, you can surrender to it, give up and end up, shutting down for the rest of one’s life. I will handle it and manage it as I have always done since 1982, for complaining, crying and not doing what I can, does not help in any way. It only makes the matter worse. As long as I can continue to walk, and engage with people I shall. Isolation and Loneliness will only kill, it never helps folks, always remember, human beings are indeed made to be social animals.
Ok Next, The Super Bowl is done for 2025, and The Eagles have won and stopped the Cheifs in their quest for three in a row. The game was not as competitive as people thought it would be. The Eagles defense handled Mahomes and that Chief;s Offense in every way. The score may have said 40-to 22 Eagles, but, the game was no where that close even. The Eagles defense manhandled the Chiefs Offense and then the Chiefs defense had no idea how to stop Jalen Hurts, and that Eagles Offense. It was interesting, but, entertaining too. I watched it with others from the community I livein here in Westborough Mass, and as we did we laughed, we cheered the Eagles on, and some were surprised by how it turned out I wasn’t. The Eagles had scored 55 point’s in the NFC Championship Game and they were on a roll, coming into the Super Bowl. I give it to the Cheif, that they made the Super Bowl three times in a row, but, they are not the same caliber as The Patriots were in their heyday and prime.
Now, onward folks, lets see what comes next for all of us in America. As Trump and his Administration try to tear down what America is and has been, remake it in his image, what do we do next and what will he try next. The last line of defense for the American People is goingto be the Justice Department and the Judges. Sadly, they themselves only have so much power and ability to slow him and his maga crew down. The real question is how far, will Congress and the American people let Trump and his Maga cult go? Will Americans wake up in time to save our Republic and democracy, or will wil slip slowly into an anarchy and communist ways. For that is where we are headed today folks. We are being withdrawn from the world stage, not helping others anymore, our personal information is being raided by Musk and his DOGE team. On top of all of that we find Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid under attack, and The Education Department too. We have a President who wants to take over Greenland and annex Canada and tariff the world to hell. He can’t stop food and gas prices from rising and he knows it. His tariff’s will only cost americans more in taxes each year they are in effect. And America continues to tumble and fall from prominance and from world view. We are now headed toward becoming a third world nation, isilated, alone and unable to recover what we once were, before Trump. It’s a sad, sad thing to see, for thos like me, who served our country and gave our all to keep it free. What wil become of America over the next four years, how many countries will walk away from us, and how many countries will we walk away from too. All because one man didn’t like the fact he lost the 2020 election, we have a Capital that was destroyed and a path of destruction, he set upon us all, in his revenge and retribution mode. It’s a sad thing to see, that so many voted him in and now, they refuse to admit they were wrong as he dismantles all he can, and the nation slowly starts to pour down the drain, becoming a shell of what was once it’s greatness.
I love my country believe me, but, the fact that the American People voted Trump back in as President, the fact that Congress can’t stop him from all he is doing, reflects totally on the fact american are gullable, foolish and blinded by his MAGA cult movement. The real question is how far will the American People let Trump, and Musk go? No one elected Elon Musk to any office period, yet here he is, attaining and reaching for your personal information and data. Musk is not even a born American citizen, yet he has more power at this point in time, than anyone thought someone would. Musk needs to be stopped. Also the fact that between Trump and Musk are cutting Federal employees and cutting their jobs is unbelieveable. This will really help our economy right? Put thousand out of work and on the unemployment lines and make then search for jobs to survive. The eonomy will not get better worse, Trump has no idea how to slow it’s rapid growth and cost to you. He made numerous promises to the American People and people bought it and now, we shall all suffer for those who were gullable enough and foolish enough to vote him in. At some point even the MAGA followers and cult followers will wake up and figire out what they did wrong and try to correct it I am sure, but by the time they do, America, it’s Democracy and Republic, will fade slowly from the world. As we do, I pray, that at some point the Congress and we the People will wake up and fight back.
God Bless America folks, and I hope our people too, as we tumble down the ladder of societies in the world. All great empires of the past have fallen, and it is looking like America is next. Sadly, The Aztecs, Incas,American Indians, The Germans, the dynsasties and Empires like Japaneese, Italians all failed, and America will fall too. Donald J. trump cares not about you or I, he cares about his own pocket, his rich cronies. As they get richer the average citizen in America will pay more. I hope and pray at sometime, the American People iwll wake up and realize the mistake they made in Electing Trump back in office. It is not Trump running anything, or doing what he promised, it is Elon Musk controlling Trump. Musk is not a born American Citizen, he has no business controlling acess to your personal data, or information, yet there he is. Wake up America! It’s time to wake up and fight back, or go down like all the other Empires that have been lost in time.

The money from the citizens that has been used to feed you a narrative and remove any dissent is vaporizing. Once the indoctrination ceases perhaps you will see the adults are in fact back in charge.

It’s not that Congress can’t stop, they are unwilling to stop.
In the veterans community, we all hear, all gave some, some gave all. The pain you are feeling as the cold invades your damaged bones, is just a constant reminder that you defended this country’s and continue to do so every election season. Back when I was a new swabby, I was schooled on politics. We may not like the occupant of the Oval Office, but we still salute the position, and wish nothing but the best, as anything else is failure for all.
