Supreme Court Decisions to be made !


It is time for the Supreme Court to listen to Arguments on some very important subjects and laws in this land, we call America. The Supreme Court must put aside any political bias, or personal preferences for the decisions it is about to make .

First the abortion issue is up today and in my mind, I think the Supreme Court should remember, there is a thin line between a woman’s health and the health of an unborn fetus. Secondly, it is a decision that must include the fetus yes and also the mother to be. Let me say this, I am pro-life yes, as long as the child and mother are healthy. Yet we all know, the health of both is not always as normal as should be, the conditions that place the child is at stake is not more important than the mothers. It is equal on both ends of this equation. Secondly, who are the Justices to tell a mother when she can have an abortion or can’t. That decision belongs with the woman and it is her body and child she is trying to save or not, is it not? If the woman does not wish to carry the fetus to full term, due to rape, or other health matters that may take her life, it should be the woman’s decision, not the courts or states she lives under or in. I know what I am saying is hard to understand for the Supreme Court, yet, should a mother be forced to die so her fetus survives but she doesn’t ? No, the woman is carrying the child and wants the child, that much is true, but, there comes a time and condition or conditions that giving birth can kill the mother. At that point the mother is still the only educated and intelligent half of this equation and needs to be able to make the decision for both involved. In the cases of not just medical condition, the Court must take into consideration the fact women get raped, or get pregnant at young ages due to mistreatment by adults, and they should not be forced to bring a child into the world they do not want. That’s my Opinion on today’s Supreme Court Discussion and the case they are hearing. There must be a federal law overriding the states, because the Supreme Court must protect both fetus and mother, and if either is needed to be saved, they should be. If a woman, needs a abortion due to medical reasons she should be able to have one, to save her own life.

Next the Supreme Court has to decide and debate Immunity for a President and under what conditions that applies, regarding Donald J. Trump, a former President of The United States. Let me say this first and foremost, no American President has ever had full Immunity for crimes committed as President and that in fact is the truth for the full length of America as a country. This decision or case which ever the Supreme Court wishes to label it, is now an issue that is dangerous for America and the world at large also. The only Immunity a President should have is for actions performed as a part of his job as President, there is no way what has occurred in Ex-President Trump’s case should be covered, It was not an official act of the Office of The Presidency, to call Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and others to Washington, DC. and tell them to march to the capital and stop the counting of the electorial votes for the 2020 Election. His speech on January 6th, 2021 and the ones before it calling people to the Capital are not official acts of a President. Never in American history has any President attempted to stop the electorial count, nor has any President ever called people to the capital and destroyed it so and endangered so many people and ended up killing people. Add on top of this Trump’s actions as he left the presidency after being voted out of office, the taking of Top Secret and Secret Documents to Mar A Lago, in Florida, to his home. What did he need said documents for, why did he hide them, and why did he have them, what was his purpose with them and who did he show them to.? The Supreme Court must understand that any Immunity for the Presidency is for official acts done as President in the performance of his duties for the country, not for the individual. I can see if the President needs Immunity due to war actions, dropping of the bomb, or as a direct act he or she must take as President of the United States to protect and defend the country, but not to protect him or herself from illegal acts they themselves did for personal gain, or personal reasons. The Supreme Court must realize, the acts that took place on January 6th, 2021, and after, were not for the good of the United States, and were not done by Trump for the Country’s well being, but for his own personal reasons and purposes. America is 247 years old come July 4th, Justices, and no where in it’s history has an American President been immune from illegal acts like Trump performed on January 6th and afterwards. In my opinion, Trump should have been arrested on January 6th, 2021 and charged immediately. Yet, because he was President he was not, and that is wrong, for no American is above the law in America. Even now as it stands today I remind the Supreme Court, Donald J. Trump is under 4 Indictments/ and currently still 88 charges, he is currently on trial in New York. If you give Trump complete Immunity, you also should then go back in history and give that same Immunity to the first President Johnson, and President Clinton and President Nixon also. I remind the Supreme Court though that what Donald J. Trump did, is on par in my book, with treason, no American should be forgiven for that or be immune from that. Just because one is elected to the Presidency, they are not immune for everything they do as President, they can’t be, because if so, you are putting the Presidency Above the Laws of the Land it is supposed to be protecting and defending, in the presidential oath they take. The Oath itself say to protect and defend the constitution of the United States and the laws of the land. Donald J. Trump did not uphold his oath, that he took. He is not immunne from all he did, period, he can’t be. Lets me end this with the following; We have had 46 Presidents, including the current one, none of the other 45 have ever had to ask about Imunnity, or ask for it. None have done deeds or acts that would require them to ask about it. The only reason Donald J. Trump wants Immunity is to keep him from facing the felony charges being brought by the government against him, and the states of New York and Georgia also. Also he wants Immunity to stay out of prison, which anyone would want to avoid of course. In the end, no man or woman is above the law and that is a fact in America. The danger of granting Immunity to Trump for these acts he committed, would be akin to telling future Presidents you can shoot your opponent, or order it, and not be arrested for it if you arer a President. That the Forefathers and creators of America and our Constitution and Laws would never agree to or allow.

” We shall have a republic only so long as we protect and defend it” ! 


 Feb. 7th, 2024 starts. The sun is out here in Westborough, Mass. the temps will rise the weatherman says to 41 or 42 degrees today. Time marches on, even if we age each moment, we are subject to old age, illnesses and more, yet as humans we survive, till the body fails us.

 At 68 years old I believe I have seen enough corruption, evil acts and accidents for any human being, and I tire of the bad things from it all. I just want to live my life in peace and quiet and when my time comes, I hope to pass in peace. I have done my service for my country, been injuried and I did my thing for my family and friends also. I have never been Mr. Popular so to say, I am too quiet and stay by myself, mostly.

  I can honestly say at 68 years old, I have seen enough to know, the world is cruel and humanity isn’t always nice to it We take from the planet, we destroy is natural habitant and animals and we pollute like no other species. We are the onlyspecies on the planet that destroys it’s own enviroment, and each other. Sometimes i wonder, what humanities purpose is on this planet, but I mostly wonder daily what my own purpose here is. Yet we wake up each day, and do not know why, we just do our own thing and live among our own kind. It’s a crazy fact is it not?

 I watch as the world turns so to say, and wonder how far humanity can go before we destroy ourselves or our enviroment we live in. Or even both at some point, as I see wars raging across the globe, and self-destructive tendies in mankind. Thank God there is some of himanity, that are not idiotic enough to kill themselves off as a species. We suffer our own injuries and affrimities daily and we fight to survive through illnesses, injuries and political conditions that we do not need to self-inflict upon ourselves. Too many Americans are easily led astray and into backing individuals who are dangerous and deadly to the one thing American’s prize, first, most of all, our own freedoms, our constitution and our laws we created. We deal with politicians who want to tear down democracy and our republic and that is scarey and dangerous period.

 I have now seen, Americans foolish enough to support Donald J. Trump and his MAGA movement and his wanting to be President again. Let me say this in plain english folks, Donald J. Trump does not belong anywhere near the White House or any other office in America. He is dangerous, unstable, criminal and cares not what you or I want, he is interested in getting the Presidency, just to stay out of prison himself, period. He knows he did wrong he is not totally an idiot, but he is a autocratic player on the world stage. We don’t need a dictator, for even one second, minute or day. Wake up folks please !

 As the year moves on and primaries are completed, I just can not believe the Republican Party can’t find a better candidate then Donald J. Trump. The Republican Party needs to realize, you are going to run a criminal for president period.He has lost so many times it is sad to see, yet, republicans want to keep him on the ballot, why? What are the Republicans thinking here ? I wish to tell the Republicans, the end of the MAGA Movement and Donald J. Trump is close at hand. America can not afford him as President again. The danger is too extreme for me to consider.

 I don’t care who is elected President, as long as it is not Donald J. Trump! He has failed at everything he has ever done in his life. He takes great chances in all he does and he is a vile, uncoth, assine individual, yet, people run to kiss his ass, stop it !

 Lets, keep Trump away from the Presidency, he doesn’t even understand it is an office, in government. Why, can’t you understand if your Trump, that they call it The Office of the President, which means the Presidency is an Office and they are a Officer of the country we live in. It is disturbing to me, when we need a court to tell us when a President has done wrong or criminal acts. It is plain to see Trump has, and in my opinion he neeeds banned from the presidency or any official office, period. You can’t seriously, believe he is innocent in anyway. For a man who swore to Protect and Uphold the Constitution of The United States at his swearing in, who started an insurrection, and riot in the capital and tried to overturn the electorial votes, you saw it on TV on Jan. 6th he must be banned from the ballots for the good of the country. If he get elected again, we should just start flying a communist flag. It’s sad indeed.

 The media bears some responsibilty here also. They give Trump their air waves and allow him to do and say what he wants, and he has brainwashed a large part of the Ameirican people. I think the media is trying to report it all and they are failing in one way. They continue to give Trump full coverage and braodcast his mantra everyday. By doing so, you are supporting what he does. Period. No President in America History has done as many criminal acts as Donald Trump has. So wake up Media outlets, newscasters, Trump is dangerous !

 I wll not list all of Trump’s crimes here, for they don’t all apply to the upcoming Election in 2024. What concerns me is; The Riot and Insurrection on January 6th. His calling of the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and others to the capital. His instruction to them to march down to the capital and stop the electoral votes from being certified. His taking of all the Top Secret and Secret documents to Mar A Lago, his home. His attempt at false electoral votes and disregarding the people’s votes, ultimately. No President has even had 2 Impeachments in one term, 4 Indictments and 91 charges, ever.

 What would the Founding Fathers of America do with the Donald J. Trump ? What do you think Washington, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, and the rest of the Founding Fathers would have done? My belief is a simple one in this case. The Founding Fathers would deny Trump from the presidency or any public office. They would have also, done to Trump what they did to Benedict Arnold, cast him from our shores and refuse to take him back. But if they had caught Trump, or Arnold in the past, they would have tarred and feathered him and put him on a pole. Donald J. Trump is a criminal, a crook, a sexual harrasser and a rapist. But of all the crimes he is charged with, his greatest is the Insurrection against the government he was sworn to protect and defend. His participation in the fake electoral, votes scheme, is a larger than life bold attempt at overturning our democratic process and republic. And, I tell all I know, what Ben Franklin said after the Constitution was signed still applies here, ” We shall have a republic only so long as we protect and defend it” ! Never forget Americans, We The People are in charge not the President, The Congress or Government. In the end, Americans must decide if we preserve and protect our form of Governement, or we surrender it to an Autocrat, or communist or criminal like Donald J. Trump ! If you want to stay a republic and a democracy, you must not vote Trump or MAGA. Wake up Please.

 

 

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 !

 

 

 

 

 

Colorado is right!


 The State of Colorado”s Supreme Court found that Trump participated in Insurrection against the American Government and then banned Trump from the 2024 Presidential Ballot in their state. I agree with that state’s decision, not just based on the 14th Amendment of our constitution, but for one other reason. I remind all, Donald J. Trump, called people to Washington, DC to riot, and attack and overturn the certification of the votes of the american people. He alone tried to use fake electors, in seven states to to discount the votes of the citizens. He tried to discount and change the votes of the people of 7 different state’s folks. He incited the riot and insurrection on January 6th.

 Now looking at the Amendment itself, and the way it was written, some are saying the President is not an official of the country, if that is so then, what is the Presidency? The position is voted upon by the people of the country and they are a duly elected official, running our country. If the court says they are not, then what do they determine the Presidency to be?

  My last arguement about this disqualification of Trump from the Colorado Ballot folks is this, we are the United States of America, each state is a sovigien one alone on it’s own. If The Supreme Court says Colorado can’t ban Trump from their ballot, then they are now autocratic in nature, and interfearing in a state’s decision. I remind all, Trump refused to accept a legal election, he tried to stay in office, and he set up fake electors in seven states, and tried to discount the votes of million of American Citizens. So, the Supreme Court would have to say, that Colorado can’t pull his name from their ballot, but on what basis can it do so. The Supreme Court would be wrong to do so period, especially since Colorado’s courts said Trump was part of an insurrection. The way I see it, The Supreme Court of the United States has no right to interfear in Colorado’s decision in this case, it would be overstepping it’s bounds, and ignoring the rights of the people of the state of Colorado.

If the Supreme Court of the United States, overturns Colorado’s Supreme Courts decision, you are now boarding on making America a Autocratic, Communistic Country. The States have the right to refuse any application to run on their ballots on a state by state basis. The decision should be based on each states right to qualify or disqualify any candidate period. In my opinion all seven states Trump tried to install and set up fake electors, should join the decision by Colorado and file likewise in their own states, and block him from their ballots also.

 Also if the Supreme Court of the United States rules against Colorado in this case, it will definitely, look political in nature, for the majority of the court was appointed by Donald Trump as President and is conservative in nature. It will look like the Court itself was bought and paid for by Trump by the appointments he made to it. Which ever way the Supreme Court goes in this case will cause disruptions in the country’s discord and population. I remind the Supreme Court, your job is to determine the law, not politics, stay away from the politics in this case. Go by, the 14th amendment, it’s wording and then determine what the Presidency is, is the president a official of the country, and if the Presidency isn’t what exactly is it please. We elect the President yes, once elected they are an Official period of this nation, he falls under the amendment. What else can a President be? The President is not just a figurehead, he is indeed an official of the United States Government and should be held accountable under our laws like all citizens are, there is no immunity to cover illegal acts, and crimes a President can commit in Office. The President falls under the same laws period.
