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 !

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Stand up this Fall


As many Americans go broke lose their homes, jobs, and more, the rich keep getting richer and the poor, poorer. Sad isn’t it, that no matter what, we can seem to even the playing field in America, especially on the money one.  While people struggle daily to survive others have so much they can blow millions at a clip, on elections and other things and not know the difference.

       Romney, Obama, Politicians on the top of the heap ruling countries and worlds of attention, rich now because of the luck they had with getting educated and being pushed into politics.

      Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg now all rich because of skills and ideas and yes, not sharing enough. Although I will give it to Gates and his wife for helping across the globe, so I shouldn’t really include him here. But you can get the idea I am getting at, how many who have the bucks, fame and resources actually reach out and help Americans not other countries. very few indeed.

         Here is a little idea for the rich in America to consider, you didn’t get rich on your own, people helped form the economy and the country you are rich in. Give something back to the people who’s shoulders you stood upon to get to the top. The workers, the citizens who make america great the real great ones, the blue-collar workers. The ones that staff the, stores,offices and factories. The ones who gave their sweat and blood and time to keep America free, the veterans and disabled elders. The country as a whole needs help to climb out of this economic hole, built by former President Bush. It took Bush eight years to make the pit we are in and you want President Obama to get us out in four, your all sick to think anyone can do that.

       Then on top of demanding President Obama dig us out in four years, you give him a Congress loaded with the opposing parties people, and ask him to work with them and they refuse. If you want to know why the economy hasn’t come back look at a Republican filled Senate and House. While America hurts and struggles to save itself in the world economy and our debts grow deeper, they stalemate and block anything going thru that would help. This is a check and balance system in American Government and I agree with it to a point, but there is a time when bipartisan action must be accomplished and things must be done no matter whose name is on it.

        You want to cut something to help Americans out, cut the salaries of the Senators and Representatives who did the log jamming in Washington, cut off all the wars we fight for reasons not our own, cut the supplying of trade agreements that help other countries and turn it around to help us. My parents once said it loud and clear for all to hear and our Government and elected officials now need to hear it too. Before you can reach out and help, protect and defend anyone else or anything else, take care of yourself and your own! It is time America stop policing the world, allowing other countries to shit on us in trade agreements and take care of our own here at home. Lets get Congress to help our homeless, our downtrodden, our hungry and poor and to stop beating on the middle class and help at home. Stand up this Fall, Vote out the blockade forces in Congress, give whomever you elect and I believe in Obama a Congress to back them and let’s get this country on its feet once more!.
