What is the lesser of two evils between Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump?


 Feb, 2nd, 2024, It is time for Americans to face some facts and then to choose, by November 2024, the lesser of two evils so to say ! Lets talk about what I see and many Americans see as the inevidiable rematch, between President Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump and what the results can mean for the country as a whole. Now, before I begin, let me make something clear for all who read this, I am doing so as an opinion, not, as a political supporter in anyway. While myown preference will come out here, I will not force my opinion on anyone.

 As 2024 is rolling out, and we slowly but surely roll toward the next election, we face the war in Ukraine, we face the war in Gaza and what they shall mean to the world as a whole. It means do we support Ukraine in the future and Israel also. For if one man is elected he will stop that support and if the othe ris elected he will continue the support we are giving. So, that is just one of the big decisions to face for all of us. Then attach the border problem and what to do next there and how each would handle it, and it makes all decisions rougher than Americans have faced ever before.

  The American Economy comes up as a subject and has a place in our swcision also, is it turning around and getting better or isn’t it. Which man, Biden or Trump is better for it also comes into play, does it not? I think it does, for it is will I havea job and be able to afford to support my family properly! For me I want to know who is goingto help us Veterans, and keep us above water and living decently and care for our injuries, disabilities and medical conditions too.

  SO, many other things come into play also as we go forward. But, I can not include all in this blog, for mention. What we need to do is decide which man, will be best for American, it’s people, it’s security, it’s economy, and how the world looks at us and what we do in it. As I do and I stop and think on all in the world, I find Donald J. Trump the most destructive and dangerous man in America at this time. If he is elected again to the Presidency, the first thing we all have to remember is he refused to concede the election he lost in 2020. The danger of him doing so again is major, and can Americans afford a President who will act as a dictator, even for a day? I think not, I don’t care if he says he will not do it for real.

  Let me say this clearly, I would take President Joe Biden over Trump any day of the week, 24/7 ! Donald J. Trump is a con man, a liar, and so much more that is wrong with mankind in general. He failed in so many areas that he should not even be considered as Presidential material or allowed on any ballot in America. We have had 46 Presidents to date folks, none have caused riots and insurrection at our capital or asked known organizations to gather in Washington and attack the capital at his asking. None have take secret and top secret documnets home and hid them and refused to give them back. Why did he do so and who did he show them to? That is the start of all of this, Donald J. Trump was the only President to be Impeached twice in one term, indicted 4 times, and to face 91 charges in courts. He is accussed of raping women, harrassing them and now ordered to pay out a total of 88,3 million so far, by courts to said woman, E. Jean Carroll. Yet Americans, some of them, still wnat this man as President, what for? I remeind all also, Donald J. Trump is the only President in American history to go before NATO and get laughed at. It is a sad sight at see in American history. No one is regarded worse in American History than Trump will be in the future, with one exception, and his name is Benedict Arnold ! In Arnold’s case he gave information to the Brittish, changed sides and served the Brittish in the Revolutionary War that gave birth to our country. Arnold was named a traitor and ended up dying in England. WHat do you think The Forefathers of America, would do with DOnald J. Trump today, if they were here. What would Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin and more say and do about Donald J. Trump? My answer is simple, they would have hunted him down, and tar and feathered him on a post, till he died. And they would have been correct in doing so, in my opinion.

 No I am not telling Americans to do so, I am giving my opinion of what theFore-fathers of America would do. You can not take secret and top secret documents, you can not cause a riot and insureection and call for tose people to attack the capital and think real Americans will allow it to happen. Look, Trump cares not about America, he care about Trump period. He isn’t running to help the country, he is running to avoid prison only. The only way he stays out of prison is to win the presidency, so he can pardon himself for acts he committed as President. If the American Justice system, is doing it’s job, New York will ban Trump and his Organization from operating in it’s borders as a state. He has to pay out a total of 88.3 million already to one woman he harrassed and raped. Does America really want a rapist, an accussed traitor and insurerectionist to run it, and be in charge, when he is saying he will be a dictator even for one day or minute. What do you believe now?

 If you are a part of MAGA, and a Trump follower, you in my opinion have either been brainwashed or are blind to the above facts I mentioned. But, besides that, if you object to my opinion, tell me your reasons for backing Trump for President ? Tell me what he did, while President that was good for America ? I don’t want to hear he built the wall, he didn’t, I don’t want to hear he passed a great tax bill either, For the tax bill he passed only help him and his rich cronnies not the average american who is middle class of lower. This man stood on public television, during the height of covid and told americans to drink bleach to get rid of it. He hid his own infection from covid from the American people, the best he could, until he couldn’t. Lets be real folks ok ! Please !!!

 I remind all also, there is only a few years difference in ages between Trump and Biden. BIden is more experienced, more stable and smarter then Trump in all ways in my opinion. Some want to look at the age difference and say that is a problem for Biden it isn’t, both are in the same status in my opinion. Age is a factor period for both not just one. Trump loses it as much as Biden does. Period.

 In the end, if these are the two candidates for President on the November ballot for President in America, I do not see Trump winning, it can’t happen. There is far too many legal battles he must face, one conviction and it is done. States want him off the ballot under the Constitutions Forth Admendment, and I agree with them.

 Trumps wants to claim the admendment does not apply in his case for the Presidency is not covered by it. I submit folks, he was an Officer of the united States he held the Office of the Prsidency, he took the oath tpo protect and defend it. That alone covers him and the presidency for as all Americans know, we refer to the Presidency as the Highest Office in the land and call it The Office of the Presidency do we not?  So, yes it is indeed an Office held and he is an Officer of the country. The most powerful one in the world, and he decided to start and order an insurrection, and riot and to call these people to Washington, he decided to take the top secret documents and secret documents to Mar a Lago, he refused to return them when asked, and we do not know who he showed them to.

 So you tell me folks, What is the lesser of two evils between Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump? And when you decide this question, remember, there are no criminal charges against Biden and you can not blame Joe Biden for anything his son did. So, now tell me MAGA, why are you backing Trump ?

Please, let’s keep the Republic and Democracy we have, my fellow Americans


 January 31st, 2024 has arrived, and it is a gloomy, overcast day here in Westborough, Mass. It seems there are more gloomy, sad, and bad things happening in the world, than I have ever seen in my life.

 Sadly, we still have the political mess, the biggest and most dangerous in American History. Let me say this to all Americans, I have lived through all Presidents since Eisenhower, and neve rin my lifetime have I ever seen a piece of shit like Donald J. Trump and his MAGA Movement. I am saddened by the many Americans who actually voted for him, and actually are a member of supporter of him. Either, they are completely ignorant, stupid, or blind ordeaf, which is it? Do they ever actually read or listen to the news? I know Fox broadcast for Trump and something should be done to stop them from doing so. I think someone should finally lay out Trump’s life for all to see.

 Remember the first thing, Trump did not make his fortune, he daddy did. He inheritated it all. Second he screwed contractors left and right, and only paid them pennies on the dollar, and he got away with it. This man rants and screams close the border , I am gonna build the wall, yet all his wives are from overseas and immigrants. Explain that one !

 Now it’s bad enough this man, who is as corrupt as they come, somehow got elected to the White House as President once already, Are you really dumb enough to vote for him again ? I ask this because, I firmly believe Hillary Cinton was correct, Trump is indeed Putin’s puppet. Trump’s performance as President was sad and right inline with what Putin wanted.

 He tried to tell Americans to drink bleach to beat covid on public television, doesn’t he know bleach is posion? If that isn’t or wasn’t bad enough he went to Russia and kowtowed to Putin then went to South Korea and kissed Kims ass too on public tv ! Sad !!!

 He promised to build a wall on the southern border, failed, he said Mexico will pay for it, false. He passed a tax law that does nothing for middle America or below, it is written and passed to help him and his rich cronnies. Why can’t these people see all of this shit?

 This man, made a mad ass attempt to stay in office after losing the Election, he refused to admit he lost ! He called for violent groups to come to Washington on January 6th, and they came and he sent them to the capital, and they ivaded it and destroyed it in many ways, scarred every Senator and Representative to near death, and had them attempt hang his own Vice President !. Be real folks, it was live on television not made up !

 Then he goes home and in the process, takes Secret and Top Secret documents with him, to Mar A Lago and when caught refuses to return them to the governement when asked to. Now, many boxes of documents of this sort were in Mar A Lago, stop and think now, one woman accidently took home one secret document and got five years in prison for it, what do you get for so many boxes of them? Why did Trump have them, what did he have them for and who did he show them to ? Good questions right? Where are the answers and what are they?

  You have a man running an insurrection at the capital before he leaves office, and even if yoy don’t call it an insurrection it was an outright riot, called for and directed by Donald J. Trump, wnat proof, listen to Trump when he called the Oath Keepers and others to come join him on January 6th. he did it and it’s on public record and recorded, yet he is still a free man running for the presidency how the hell is that possible?

 He is a sexual predator, attacking women and getting away with it, and now the courts have said he is gulity and ordered him to pay E.Jean Carroll, 83.3 million dollars. He says he will appeal it, I hope he has that in cash, cause he has to put it up, to appeal, thats how it works, lose and you can kiss it goodbye Donald ! Go APpeal all day, and put up the extra 5 million ya owe her too, so so gets it when you lose !

 We have Stormy Daniels andher case comming up, the Florida case, The New York cases, And Federal cases all lined up against him and he is claiming it’s because he is a politican and election interfernce, I laugh at that. How many Judges, Prosecuters and Jury Members does it take for you to understand this man is corrupt and should never be near the White House again ?

 Let me finish with a few more facts folks, 1) Donald J. trump failed to sell Trump Water, 2) He failed to sell Trump Steaks, 3) He failed to run a casino folks, he busted. 4) He set up a fake University and collected money from people for it and never opened a University and got away with it. How the hell is that possible ? Yet, how is it possible, that he has so many of these MAGA followers and why, what is he telling them and why are they following him? Someone please tell me, please ! Someone tell me what the MAGA Movement is really andwhy it exists? Because as I see it, it is not Making Amaerican Great Again, it is destroying America ! I think Nikki Haley hit it right when she said, Make AMerica Normal Again, because since Trump came down his escalator in Trump Tower, America has been ruined and now laughed at world wide. One last thing, I remind all, Donald Trump went to the uNited Nations once while he was President, they laughed him out of there, he is a walking joke in the world. Yet, these followers of his, want him re-elected as President, be real folks, unless you wish to become an Authorian, or Communist Country, fi thats the case, you need to just leave America. As, Ben Franklin said, after the signing of The Constitution and the Signing the Declaration of Independence, We have a republic and a democracy, and will have it as long as we protect and keep it. Please, let’s keep the Republic and Democracy we have, my fellow Americans, For no where on this planet we call earth, is there a better form of self-government, with the rights and freedoms we have here !

 

Any repeat of the last election is dangerous.


 Saturday January 27th, 2024 is upon us. The biggest discussion now a days, concerns former President Donald J. Trump. Everyone is watching as he flouts the law, and goes on rampages and throws temper tantrums publically, and runs for President again. He act like a spoiled child in courtrooms both state and federally as he faces 4 indictments, and 91 counts. Add on top, the defamation cases and more, why is America sitting here, putting up with this, at all?

  I remind all Americans, Donald J. Trump lies about how he got his fortune, he lies about anything he can, to further his own personal interests of course. He has failed to sell water,and steaks and conned people out of money for his so called Trump University, the never went anywhere. He cheated contractors who built for him out of money, by only paying them pennies on the dollar for their labor and supplies. Yet, people believe he is a special person, why? I remind all his own home state he was born and raised in, can’t stand him, yes I am talking New York.

 Trump, lied to get a term as President in 2016, and while in office he failed to build his wall on the southern border, he failed controlling covid and the only thing he passed wasa tax bill for the rich, himself and hios cronnies. So please tell me what he did that was good for America? Nada is it folks !

 While President he was impeached twice in one term, he pushed and set up fake electors to try to steal an election he lost. He got caught. He ran a riot and called for peopleto come to the capital and march down to it. He got the capital tore up and damaged, scarred all the politicians in the capital in both house, half to death. Then when he figured out he couldn’t find away to stay in office as President decided to take secret and top secret documents to his homein Mar a Lago breaking more rules and risking America’s security. He then refused to return those documents when asked to by the government. Tell me why? What purpose did he have for taking said documents and why did he have them and who did he show them to? Let me say this, one woman, years ago, accidentlt took homea single page secret document by accident, and she got five years in prison, so why isn’t Trump in prison now? Why is Donald J. Trump getting such preference and special treatment ? Why can’t he just be treated like any other American in a court room? Someone explain that to me !

  Donald J. Trump is the Republican favorite to win their nomination for the Presidency ! My Question is why? Why do the Republicans support him so much and jump on his bandwagon? What are they going to gain by it, I want to know ! Can anyone tell me?

 Maga Members. are vocal and loud and noisey as hell. I hate to tell them this but, you can’t make a country that is great, great again, immpossible to do. So Even the tag of MAGA you wear on your hats and shirts are lies and false. Yet, it’s a movement in American Politics, I find it sad that some Americans fall for this shit. I am embarrassed but just seeing it and would never back it or associate with those who do so. This MAGA shit, is really just a cult and Trump is it’s leader for sure. Sadly, no Republican or Democrat, has the guts or balls to stand up to it, call it out and work to stop it ! The politicians on the Republican side are weak willed, scarred lil whimps, afraid to lose their jobs if they take Trump on. They fear what Trump will do to them come election time. They don’t do themselves any good in trying to back Trump and his MAGA movement. The MAGA Movement needs to be stopped and disbanded in America, period.

 Instead of standing up to Trump, calling him out on his stances, mistakes and lies, they join him. I am personally disgusted by Senator Tim Scott, of South Carolina, who actually kissed Trump’s ass on public tv recently. He looked like he was cowtowing to Trump and kissing the ring! And I am disgusted by seeing it happen, I wonder how many African Americans, have seen it, and what they think of this full grown adult black male, doing this on public tv? I wonder if they like the look of a black male, acting like he is owned and kissing his master’s ass on tv? The scene of such an act publically, shown on television should digusted all African Americans period, it takes this country back to the actions and treatment, they experienced during slavery ! It wasa sad sight to see and Tim Scott, should apologize for doing so and he should drop out of sight, he embarrassed himself, his state and his race, in my opinion.

 Now, let’s talk the Defamation Trial of Donald J. Trump for what he did to E.JeanCarroll. It is obvious to all of us, that as the Judge in the case said, Trump is liable for sexual harrassement and rape. So, if elected you are electing a rapist and sexual harasser to the White House. I wish the Jury would have hit him harder then 83.3 million, they should have hit him for billions in my opinion, he’s guilty as hell. And let me say this to all Americans, if it was you or I in the court room talking loud, acting like a child and walking out, like Trump did we would be in a jail cell, again he got special treatment. An Average American who was charged 91 times, charged and found liable for sexual harrasment, taking Secret or Top Secret Documents home, and more, we would be locked away by now ! You do what Trump did in the courts he has been in, you would be in a cell, awaiting a bailsman or family to get you out, yet Trump is free, why? Add to all of this, 2 IMpeachments in one term as President, 4 indictments, 91 charges. how the hell has Donald J. Trump avoided a jail cell so far? The courts and judges and Justice Department are scarred of the MAGA people, rioting if he is arrested and jailed is why ! They need to just dotheir job, arrest him, put him in a jail cell, and show the world they are tired of him getting away with murder and getting the special treatment he gets for being an ex-President and show his MAGA followers this shit must stop ! Until they do, Trump will continue to do as he pleases and ignore what Judges say.

  We now have had 46 Presidents of The United States. No President before Trump or since Trump has committed the crimes he has, ever. From Washington, to Biden, Trump is the only one, who stoke documents, started a riot and innsurrection against his own country and government ! If all men are created equal and have to live by the laws of this land and under the Justice department too, then treat Trump like all of us would be treated, lock his ass up, now. No President except, Donald J. Trump was ever Impeached twice in one term, or has had 4 indictments and 91 charges before. This man created electors ballots with false electors to try to overturn an election. He wante dto discount millions of people’s votes so he could stay in Office ! Think about that !

 I will leave one more thing on this blog to consider for all. Anyone thinking otherwise is wrong, Trump does not belong running for the president, or even dog catcher in America. The states should all band together and ban him from their ballots and force the Supreme Court to make a decision fast.

 I pray, that America wakes up and realizes what Voting a Trump back into the Presidency means for this country. He already said he wants to be a dictator for one day, he is already threatening mass deportations and more. He has shown his mental accurity is not right and made false statements and more. While I agree with Nikki Haley, both Trump and Biden are too old to hold the office, We will still need a President in November to be elected, and Sworn in in 2025. I think the American People need to find a new leader to do it right, any repeat of the last election is dangerous.

 

 

America must wake up!


 Friday January 19th, 2024 has arrived and yes I woke up and am alive. Never thought I would be here at this age and getting ready to turn 68, in lets see, six days. I honestly thought I would be dead at 40, because of the life I lived in my younger days. Others who lived the same type of life I did, have not survived as long and are gone. I have seen accidental deaths, and suicides as they have gone by, people who I never thought would be gone are indeed gone. I never thought I would see, myself still kicking, yet here I be.

 As I get ready to turn 68 on January 25th, 2024, I do so, missing my wife of 28 years still. Yet, I also know she can not comeback to me, nor can I reach her. I know many will tell me, to begin to move on and I wnat to, but, since i havent found anyone to do so with, the memories draw me back to her. I also know the memories are great to have, and missing someone you loss is ok, I also have to keep living day by day, for the fact, I am here.

 I look for a way now, to try to just keep going, to laugh, to do what is necessary to keep going. Finding the small things in life that count most is not easy, when your alone you tend to stay to yourself, it’s a matter of fact. Those who know me, tell me to go out, meet people, have fun, thats the only way to find someone, but I ask, where do you go at 68 years old to do so ?

  I walk a lot as i said before, and if I see someone who went down, or is injuried I will help if I can. I will never refuse to help anyone who is hurt, I am not built that way, to just do nothing. Living in a 55 plus community, I see it as a place we should keep aneye on each other and help when and where we can. Not all of us have family nearby or that can be called and I am sure we all want help when we can get it. When you get to a 55 plus community like i am in, you know your here for retirement purposes, or to live out the remainder of your life. Doesn’t mean we die on getting here, just means we realize we want to retire in peace, have some quiet, and hope to make and have friends we can share whats left, with.

 In my case, my life, has it’s own rewards, to it. I spent my youngest days, helping my family at home, rebuilding a home for us to live in with my step-father, babysittng my younger siblings and such. Then, I helped all my firends I had that I could in my high school years and a lil beyond. I joined the Service at a young age and served for 16 years in 3 different branches of service, Army, Army National Guard and US Navy. I recieved a Honarable Discharge un Medical Conditions. I married twic eone, went 12 years, produced two daughters and now four grandchildren. The second marriage went 21 year, the relationship went 28 years, no children but, I spent 16 of those years taking care of a wife with breast cancer and that ended with my hospicing my wife till she passed on me in 2021. So yes, I have had a pretty full life, but, I am leaving somethings behind when I do leave.

 I leave behind when I die, some people i have taught things like drawing, some I have helped along in relationships and there will be my writtings. Stories, blogs, poems, they are out there for all to read. If they help anyone in anyway, then I have done good in this world. I have like all people my ups, my downs, my just hanging on moments, but I have also, given back whatI can, where I can and when I can. a person’s legacy may not equal those of heroes, or President’s or or civil leaders or more, but, we are not remembered for being heroes, we are remembered by those we care for, help, guide, defend or love. In life we make friends, some we keep for alifetime and others we pass by as we go. The same can be said for lovers. Personally, I know my lovers have been few and i can count them on one hand, not all reached fruiation, or relationship status, but I am not, one to mess with destiny of fate, I accept it. You can’t make someone love you, anymore than you can stop death from happening. Destiny and fate is all that is and we make choices, based on what we have already experienced in our past. We draw on all we experienced as we went along, and what we were taught by others, to make the decisions in the present day we live in. Just a fact folks ! We are taught by parents or those that raise us, right from wrong, and we go by those lessons, which is why family units are so important in this world we live in.

  Anyway, life is still going on for me as of today, and I watch the political world in America and wonder, what is next ? Are Americans really foolish enough, blind enough or accepting enough to re-elect a man, who lies, cheats, is a sexual predator and harrasser of women. and never kept a promise in his life again? I know many will think oh, another anti-trumper is all I be, but, that is not the truth of me. Ex-President Donald J. Trump does not belong in the White House or in The Office of The Presidency again ! Which in itself as a statement Trump uses himself to run for The Office of the Presidency proves the Presidency is an Office held in the United States and comes under the 14th amendment clause, of the constitution. I remind all Americans, Donald J. Trump, couldn’t sell water, steaks, or a university he ripped people off for money with, he cheated contractors out of money for work they did for him, and only paid them pennies on the dollar. And that just is the start of his crimes of his past, now add in sexaul harrassment of women, found to be liable for doing so and fighting with Judges over how much to pay. How about his Two Impeachments in Office as President, his running an insurection and riot as President and telling people led to walk down to the capital and stop the certication of electorial votes. How about his people yelling, Hang Mike Pence ? He called the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and others to the capital that January 6th ! Wake up.

 Four Indictments, 91 charges later and people still want to vote for this man, why? I don’t have the answer, but, I do warn you, re-elect him and you destroy yourself and your own republican, democracy you live in. This man was removed from the Colorado ballot and Maine ballot because they found him to be the leader of an insurrection against our country and constitution. Now it must go to The Supreme Court for a decision soon. The danger of Donald J. Trump is real folks, if you can’t see it yet, please go read his brief put forward to the Supreme Court fighting for Immunity. He warns the Supreme Court that is his claim of Immunity is not upheld by them, it will cause Chaos and more. Who tells a court this and gets away with it? He tells the court, that his people will cause chaos and destruction and go wild if he is not given full immunity. Are you kidding me, lets just be realistic and do what is right. If his supporters wants to attack and go crazy we have the National Guards and military to stop it all. No way in hell should anyone, allow one man to lead his supporters this way. Trump wants revenge for losing in 2020, he wants retrobuition for his loss. Are you kidding me? I wish someone would wake up this country, and wake up to the fact that electing Trump is just installing a dictator, or autocrat, and paying the price for it over four more years of more crimes and problems. America must wake up !

 

 

 

 

 

NFL DIvisional Round, My Picks !


 NFL Divisional Round is this coming weekend; It all starts Saturday;

  First up will be Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens- I think the upstart Texans have their playoff win, already Houston is young and inexperienced in the playoffs. The Ravens with Lamar Jackson and the weapons he has, plus their defense, will win here.

 Next- will be Green Bay Packers at San Franciso 49ers. The Packers may be the only team on this day that stands a chance at an upset here. Yet, the 49ers are a very good team and Purdy is a great QB. I say 49ers, if no turnovers by them. If it turns into turnovers The Packers can win.

Sunday Games: Tampa Bay Bucs vs. Detroit Lions. Detroit has won it’s first playoff game in 32 years ! The Lions are a well balanced club, led by a coach who has a drive to win and keeps the team motovated. Overall I see Detroit as the better team, young and strong on both sides of the ball. The Bucs surprised all winning to get this far and Mayfield played well against the Eagles. But can, they beat the Lions, I have my doubts.

The final game of the coming weekend- Kansas City Takes on Buffalo in Buffalo. This may be the best of all four games here, two teams built to win, two QBs who are great and two defenses that are strong as hell. It could be a low scoring game or a shoot out really. If it is a low scoring game and Buffalo’s defense plays well, the Bills, I would favor. But, knowing Mahomes and the Chiefs, he will be constantly attacking every play. Both QBs can run here. The difference may be the recieving corps. The team who connects passing wise can win this and probally will. Sinc eit is in Buffalo I like the Bills, but I will never say never, against the Chiefs and Mahomes. Should be a good game !

Lets Go NFL and Playoffs !

It’s called life as it is ! 1/17/24


Peace comes to those of us, who age and take loses along the way. peace comes mentally for us, and in our day to day life. It doesn’t mean we are happy, it doesn’t mean we are content. It just means we avoid trouble, because we are smart. But, it doesn’t mean we like being alone, it means we are adult enough to understand why we are and mature enough to accept it.
Personally, I did my things in life, I accomplished what I wanted.
I helped my family as a kid, I helped my friends as a kid. As I grew I served my country for 16 years in three branches of service. I was married twice once for 12 years and the second for twenty eight. Two daughters I have from my first marriage, and now four grandchildren too. I did right by my wife who passed in 2021, I hospiced her and took care of her for a 16 year cancer battle.
Never claimed to be perfect, or the best looking, or the funniest or anything else, just me. I now go day by day, do what I must to get to doctors, dentists, groceries or stores. I walk malls and outside, build puzzles, use my computers and chat online, play xbox now and then, and read. Life is a slow process daily now, and I miss my wife and life I once had. What more is there to say, I get told to go out, meet new people, go to bars or do things, I actually have no motovation to do so, nor, do I ever think, I shall. I think I have reached a point where living has turned to existing, and thats it. So,it is now day by day, and thats it.
I pay my bills, I am not a burden to anyone and i refuse to be, nor would I impose on anyone for any reason. I don’t ask for pity or anyone to feel sorry for me either, I have had a good life. It is just that at this point in time, it is running down, as I turn 68 in a few days. Acceptance of what is, is not surrendering, it’s knowing where you are at and living with it, is all. It’s called life as it is !

What grip, what kinda cult is MAGA and Trump?


 Well, January 16th has arrived and snow is here in my area of Massachuestts. On top of the weather, I have watched the Republicans of Iowa, give Trump 50 percent in his race for the Republican nomination for President. I have thought about it carefully and in many ways, and come to a conclusion, people are not being intelligent about what they are doing here. Iowans, have now given Trump an inside track to the Republican nomination, but you have also given that track to a criminal, an insurrectionist, a person who stole and held top secret and secret documents and wouldn’t return them. Add in the capitol riot on January 6th, and what we have is one of the biggest messes in American history. I remind all, Trump was Impeached twice while in office, has four indictments against him and 91 charges, in our legal system against him. Yet here we have these republicans voting for him to be the Republican nominee for President again. Someone explain that to me, please !

 As we barrel ahead into 2024 and the election cycle, I have only a few hopes that Trump will not regain the Presidency in my mind. 1) He is convicted and jailed. 2) Joe Biden can win again 3) Americans will realize he is corrupt as hell, he faces ligation for sexual harrassing women, and more now in courts. Unless something derails Trump, or he is convicted an dpulled from ballots, he may be President again and that would be disasterious for America on the world stage and here at home. I pray Americans will wake up soon, because if we don’t, we will be an autocratic nation, run by a man who wnats to be a dictator, and who is indeed backed by communist, Putin and XI. Sadly, the final thing Ben Franklin said after the signing of the Constitution is coming to fruiation, ” We will only have a democracy and republic for as long as we protect it ! America was built on the COnsitution and now one man, one movement is goingto topple us and it and move us closer to auticratic and communistic rule. Why, America, Why? Are Americans really that blind and gullable and foolish now?

I am saddened, as a veteran who served my country for 16 years and gave my health to keep it safe and free. For Americans to hand this country over to a man who failed at everything he touched, is a sad statement on the country and i’t’s state at this time. Will Americans wake up, in time to prevent it’s downfall, other nations are watching us, we must look like complete idiots to the world.

I will close this blog today, with this question for all Americans, Where do we go from here, and why are you allowing Trump, to lead you to a country that will be autocratic, communistic and lost ? As, history has shown us and the world, all empires fall, is this the end of The American Empire for us all, will we fall, because you all follow the MAGA Doctrine and Trump? If so, you are giving up a life of freedom and richness for what, Trump, Maga and autocratic life ! Sadly, there is not much I can do about it that is for sure.

What grip, what kinda cult is MAGA and Trump? Someone needs to find out very soon or America will go down the tubes here and the final great Republic and Democracy on the face of the Earth shall fade from existance and the faceof the world !

Wake up America !!!!!!


 January 15th, 2024 starts, cold, and windy yet sunny here in Westborough, Mass. As the NFL Playoffs go on today and upsets have hit, a couple more games to go today. We face the first votes of 2024 today, in the Republican Caucas there. A sto who wins there , well it is still to be decided by the voting public.

 Yet, as a country, America has become the most anti-social country I have ever seen in my alomst 68 years of life ! People don’t talk to one another anymore unless it is to get to your money. When I mention the antisocial atmosphere in the country, and listen to others as well as Doctors, there is indeed a loneliness syndrome in america. Why are so many lonely in America, lack of communication, electronic device, like computers, and cell phones. You want proof of it take a walk in a mall, and look around, people havea cell phone in one hand, staring at it as they walk, period. You can’t be social or find a relationship, if you don’t talk to other human beings, or interact in anyway. It’s sad statement on the American Society as a whole isn’t it?

  I get told it is my own fault, I am alone. I get told to go to bars/ or taverns to meet someone. Look folks, I am turning 68, I had two marriages, one 12 years and the second 28. I have two daughters over 600 miles away who have four children between them. I don’t see them either or the grandchildren, they expect me to travel to them, nowthats silly as hell, I am 68. I don’;t really know them and they don’t really know me, even though I made attempts. You change life, or how it goes, unless your rich and able, you don’t have themoney or means, you live the best you can and know how, is all.

  Yes I miss my deceased wife, yes I am lonely, yes, I probally will be alone till I die and I have adapted to it, I have no choice really. I am forced to accept what I can not change, and I don not have the motovation, energy, strength, money or means to change it. So, each day islike the last day for me, wake up, coffee, medicines,tv, walking, or reading, building puzzles and if needed doctors, dentists, or gaming on Xbox. It’s boring, redundant, lonely and overall, sad, in many ways. Yes I shop for groceries, and what I need too. America though is the most antisocial climate and population I have ever seen in my 68 years of life, come January 25th, 2024.

 Is there a way to change the anti-social, uncommunicative, impersonal society America has become. America and the world call the texting, cell phones, emails, computers, video gaming and more, advances. But I ask, what did we do when there were no such things, we talked more, interacted more, and were indeed more social and less lonely. Ever wonder what the future will bring with more eletronics, now, VR and AI on the way in bigger numbers and affecting more brains, I do. It is impersonal, isolating and bad for society and americans as a whole. Yet, we can’t stop the advances and societies acceptance of it all can we.

 We are now head to a antisocial society for sure and more than likely a autocratic society or worse. We have the MAGA Movement, Donald Trump leads it on. I believe if Americans want to save their country, our country, we need to leave Trump behind and kill his MAGA Movement. It’s dangerous and in the end, we have already gone thru January 6th, the destruction of Washington from the MAGA Movement and Trump. out Senators and Representatives forced to hide, and even Trump’s own VP, havingto hide too. 2 Impeachments in one term for Trump, stolen documents, a riot and insurrection, 4 Indictments, 91 charges, yet people want to vote for this man? Something is wrong here, how has Trump brainwashed these peopleso well folks? I wish I knew ! It’sa sad state for sure for America to be in. The world as a whole sees the danger here and they speak of it too, as they watch and warn us of what can come next. Do Americans have an awareness of what is coming and what can happen here, when you backing a candidate who claims he wants to be a dictator on day one and attack his opponents for retribution too. Stop and think Americans, this is what Putin wants, what Fidel Castro wanted, what KIm wants, stop and think what is happening here is he wins. Wake up America !!!!!!

 

Ban Trump, and Jan. 9th for me !


 January 9th, 2024 is upon us, been a slow, overcast day, with the snow that fell here lately, They are calling for another storm, some snow and rain next. Seems I am in a valley area that attracts these things in the winter, I had no idea. Being new to Westborough, Mass and Massachuestts as a state, I had no idea here. Yet, I live din Connecticut for most of my life, so snow is no big deal to me.

 As to things other than weather for me, I don’t go out much except to shop for groceries or to Doctors and Dentists. I basically gave up on trying to find a woman to replace my wife who died, first off, I don’t believe I will find another like her, secondly the women in Westborough, Mass, and the area seem either stuck-up, or scarred or not in my age range. It will probally be along, lonely, life for me, till I finally pass away and joing my deceased wife. I have come to accept the fact that, I am not a handsome man, nor am I a comic or laughing all the time. So, I walk a lot as I have said before and build puzzles, watch tv and read when I can. I definitely fell like one of those Grouchy Ole Men in that old movie, I could probaly pass for Walter Mathue in it. I have surrendered like he did, and putter day by day is all.

  I don’t playing golf folks, nor am I a big fan of pickleball these days after trying it and hurting my ankle. I bought a guitar and was going to teach myself, but, I have lost interest in doing so. It would take a large effort by me to learn it, and I don’t want to pay for lessons. Hell, I wil be 68 in 16 days now. I am not running any races, nor competing with another man for a woman’s attention. I don’t want any woman reading this, thinking I hate women or don’t like them, that would be false. I just accept the fact, they are scared, have anxieties, are not interested in an elderly man my age anyway they want someone younger. I guess the younger men, bring them more joy. I find the town of Westborough a nice place overall, yet it has no place for the elderly, besides it’s Senior Center. I find the town as a whole, pretty rough on it’s Senior Citizens, if your going to build condos for 55 plus people in your townm you should not be raising taxes on those seniors at a crazy rate, and if your attracting us due to these complexes you should be giving us a break to stay. The people are nice, but, realistically, the town is built for a younger generation.

 The hardest part of being a widower is pulling yourself back together after the loss of your spouse. Then, you try to get used to not having a parther to talk to, to take care of or to support you. Many like myself have moved away from where they loss their spouse and into condos like these in Westborough. We do so, to have aplac eof our own, we grieve, and we survive and interact with others our age the best we can. As adults we know not to get involved with others in any serious relationship that live here. It is easy to see why, you cross that line, and something goes wrong in anyway, and it becomes a mess and one half or the othe ris forced to leave the complex. relationships can be messy for sure in that way, never mind how messy that can be at our ages here.

 Making friends is one thing like I say, but crossing the line is a mess if you get my drift. So many of us, just do events put on by the community. For me I find nothing interesting in Bingo, or Majong, or Dominios really. POker players get together here also and play, but, they are pros for sure. Shit I don’t even use the swimming pool here in the hot months. If one person gets sick, and it spreads like wildfire in such a community too, so being careful is what we all are. Many belive when you get older and go to a retirement community it’s all fun and games, and there is a high rate of interaction between men and women on a sexual basis, but again, when you live in the same complex you are crossing a line one should never do.

The next problem with living in such a retirement community is, it is like Peyton Place was on TV. Everyone watches one another and the gossip and rumor mill runs wild. You do something, and before you know it, it is all over the compound that you did and the talking begins. people point fingers, make statements, and it causes animonisty and anger and can get out of control for sure, as others choose sides. So, I avoid it all, in all ways I can, by staying to myself, minding my own buisness, and not commenting on most or all that happens. Not my business in my opinion.

 As to venturing out in the town or neighboring towns I don’t do that either, because i have no idea of any place to go out to, or what to do where. I get advice like you should get out more, but going anywhere alone sucks. I am used to having a wife to do thiongs with, and of course she is gone now. Then I get questioned about family, well I have none close to me, and I am alone, is my answer. I refuse to bea burden or impose on anyone period. I won’t go there, it’ isn’t right in my mind or heart either.

 As to other items, I have been tracking sports, I follow the Celtics, The Pats, my Vikings, The Red Sox too. I am a sports fan in most sports, Hockey may be the one exception for me, if I can’t follow it due to the pace or see the ball, well. lol !

Sometimes I wonder, what will happen next in politics in America or in the world too. Wars in two areas, Congress not acting right, fake Impeachments not needed, being done out of revenge not, on real basis or evidence. All crazy in today’s America. An ex-President who believes he has full immunity for crimes he committed in office, states banning him from ballots, 91 charges, 4 indictments against one ex_president, who already has 2 impeachments while in office. Documents taken out of Washington, DC that were Tap Secret and Secret stored in a private residence in Florida. W ehad riots after the 2020 Election in Washington, calle dby a President and that islablean insurrection now. HUndreds in jail because a President asked them to do what they did. Be real here folks, we saw it all on television, President Trump called for the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and more toc ome to Washington that day. Be real, then he directed them to go to the capital. I fthat is not leading a riot and insurrection, I don’t know what is. Be real.

 I want to add one more thing here, if, the Appeals Court or Supreme Court holds that Trump had immunity for everything that happened leading up to and surrounding January 6th, and all the occurred after, while he was in office, what doe sthat say for future Presidents and what they can do while in office and get away with ? So, you telling me, that a Presidentc an order his rival can be ordered killed by him and he doesn’t have to pay for it or be held accountable for it ? Hmm, if so, stop and think what can be done while a President is in Office for 4 years, if it is hidden, or not. American Democracy would be done folks, out Republic is shot then and we don’t elect President’s anymore, we elect short term dictators ! We are Americans folks we know better than that, and i am sure the courts know too. What is happening in Trump’s cases here, and what he has done, has never happened in 235 years of this countries extistance and should never be allowed, you know it and so do I. I admire the States of Colorado and Maine for being brave enough to step up and ban Trump, I think more states should too. God Bless America is all I can say and I pray Trump is banned,, tried and convicted and removed from all ballots.

 

 

 

 

Reflections/Resolutions 2024


 Life can be amazing, an adventure, an enjoyment, or it can be mundane, lonely, and make you wonder, what the hell your here for ! I never claimed to be apopular person and never was really, I had my difficulties as a kid, bullied in school, did not fit in in my younger days thats for sure. I had conflicts with my mother, my older brother, and of course my step-father. Some I overcame as I grew, like, my elder brother I ignored, my mother and I came to an understanding after I got old enough to investigate her some and figure out things. But each brought me new knowledge of them and the world I have to live in. It doesn’t matter what those moments were as you age, what does matter is what you make from them, as you move on.

 I know I learned many things in life about it in general, love, respect, honesty, integerity, and pride come to mind. I also learned that relationships happen and they form over decency for one another. Shit, I have friends from when I was fourteen years old, friendships may fade some, but they never disappear as we move on. Families scatter and go their own ways, but, we still find a way to carry on don’t we?

 I reflect many times in my life backon my experiences in it and the people that have left or passed I knew. The famous ones to the mundane and everday ones you walk by daily, each affect us differently. Some you admire because they are family and have departed for the love they gave you, the care they did do for you, and then others you remember for the good times, the laughing, the jokes, good or bad, the tears, the fears, the chances you took with them and more. It is amazing how much the human mind remembers as you age and how much it may tend to ignore or forget also. The painful times we tend to forget, the ones who got away that we loved, or the ones that have passed before us. Yet, The good Lord is the one guiding and directing and leading us to go on till, we can no more and we complete the missions we have been put here for !

  Two seems a very important numbe rin my life and world. I had two marriages, two children and I have no idea how they happened. I never learned to flirt, or what to say to the female species. Yet, I wasmarried twice, have two children and find myself with four grandchildren who live 600 miles away from me. They do not know me, my own children were lost to me in my divorce from my first wife. And it was my second wife who encouraged me to go see them when she was alive. I did so of course as much as i could handle it, but, I am not rich and I really do not think like they do, that I owe them anything. I sometimes think they should stop and realize, the divorce from their mother, was not my fault number one, and number two I lost like they did, and more than I would admit or want to. The courts do not favor the male of the couple when divorce happens and the females are believed no matter what and protected, even when they lie. I know i suffered from it and still do today.

 Yet, I went on to do things I never thought I could, I found a second wife, a second life and much more. The first marriage went 10 years and then two for the divorce, then the second marriage lasted me 28 years. So you might say, I did something right in it, and I wish it was still happening today, but, cancer took her from me. We all learn and adjust as we go along folks. experiences we had, lead us to make the decisions we do each day, we draw from the past to make the present work daily, never forget that. It is a lesson we all learn as we grow older, mature and find our way in the world we live in.

 We can’t change somethings and others we have control over. Yet we learn and adapt to what we face as we go along, or if we do not, we suffer for not doing so. My life is like a roller coaster with it’s ups and downs, but, my second wife put a steadying hand on me and helped me through the rough times. She got me to go back to school, to graduate college, to stabilize and learn again. She encouraged me to learn, expand, become better, and at the sametime loved me. I miss her dearly and always will. As she knew and stated at one time, she told her own daughter, when she passes I would be fine because I am a realist. Fine I don’t know, but surviving I do, and I am so far and she has been gone since 2o21 and we just entered 2024.

 Someone asked me, what my resolutions are for 2024. I stopped and thought for a moment then. I haven’t really made any, but, if I did it would be to talk to more people, get out more, and hopefully meet a woman who is intelligent, fun and wnats a companion. I miss that ion my life and I miss a smiling face to smile back at, someone to converse with and help, and who wants the same in return. So, my basic idea is to move on as I turn 68 soon and do the best I can to smile, laugh, talk, joke and interact with others, and be myself the best I can. No one is perfect, no one expects you to be, but, if we are honest, loyal, ourselves, and we care enough, we can at least have fun in 2024.
