The other day I got a notification that one of the people I sometimes communicate with on one of those social media places posted something. So I checked it out. This person is a far-lefty, an anti-Trumper, and I like reading what he has to say. I like reading it and I like seeing what he posts not because I agree with most of it, not because I disagree with most of it, but because it always gives me reason to wonder.
And wonder I do!
Before I go any further, I want to go on record for saying that if it weren’t for running my blog, I wouldn’t be on any social media except to communicate with distant family. Some of my distant family, and I find this funny, has stopped communicating with me because of some of my opinions.
Not only do I find this funny, but it also causes me to wonder.
And wonder I do!
This particular person who did the posting is a salesman. That’s how he makes his money, his livelihood. So I’m hoping this whole “virus” situation hasn’t hurt him economically, and if so, I hope not too much, and that brings me to say I truly feel for anyone and everyone being hurt financially by the situation, by the virus and the whole turn of events. I feel much less for the billionaires and multi-millionaires than I do for the regular people, and please, you know what I mean by the regular people. I don’t discriminate in my feelings by political affiliation, gender, religion or anything of that sort.
That said, this salesman is an accomplished and successful salesman. I’d be willing to bet that he is versed in sales techniques, and I’d also be willing to bet that at least sometimes he’s sold some people some things they really didn’t want or need or didn’t want to spend the money on. It kind of goes with the territory.
So I wonder: how could a successful, accomplished salesman, just a regular person, get sold hook, line and sinker on that left-wing doctrine he posted?
I wonder: doesn’t he, don’t any of them, think things through, think for themselves, examine the implications of what they’re advocating, examine the assumptions underlying it?
I wonder: do they honestly understand and believe what they’re saying? Do they ever look at or listen to the words coming out of their mouths and out of their would-be leaders? Do they ever look at their deeds? Their actions? Do they ever look at the videotapes of what their leaders have said and done in the past?
I wonder how anyone on any side could just take what that side says as gospel and go with it in its entirety.
To me, it’s mind-boggling.
I wonder: when and how did the lefties get the idea that their positions are the morally correct ones, that they stand on the moral high ground and anyone who opposes them is immoral, racist, sexist, and all the other “ists”?
I wonder: when and how did the lefties ever get the idea that they stand for all the people and anyone who can’t see it is ignorant?
I wonder: when and how did the lefties ever get the idea that they could speak their opinions freely and anyone expressing opposing opinions should be ostracized, demonized and even persecuted?
Oh yes. Especially in the Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Al Sharpton, Pravda USA mainstream media era, I have many, many wonderings about our representatives and would-be leaders and about a free and fair press.
I wonder!
And wonder I do!

I’ve been watching the news again lately. I had stopped for awhile because there wasn’t much to see. Honestly, there still isn’t much to see. Anyway, I had hoped we’d be beyond politics while we battled this pandemic, but of course that was too much to hope for. Apparently the Democrats are never beyond politics, and their lapdogs, Pravda USA Mainstream Media, are right there with them. Pravda USA has never let up in its unprecedented biased reporting and won’t. It is wholly vested in destroying this President and advancing a socialist agenda. Why is that?
So I don’t really want to talk about politics. Not really. If you read my blog you know my politics. I lean to the right. I believe in freedom and free choice. I believe in not being pinned to one side or the other and in looking at all issues with open honesty and an open mind. I believe in responsibility, in taking care of yourself, which means working and contributing if you’re able to and not riding on the work of others while you chose not to work to willfully exercise your personal right to the pursuit of happiness.
I’m not a Democrat. I’m not a Republican. I believe in common sense and educated responses to the issues we face as a nation and more immediately in fighting this pandemic. I most certainly do not believe many of our elected officials are intelligent or care about educated responses to our issues and to working through the pandemic. I surely do not believe that most of our leaders exercise common sense. I do believe that most of our leaders are human and weak and guided by the group mentality of their party and by their own personal interests.
That, above, is not a political statement. It is a human one. Man is by nature selfish and greedy. You can plug most of our elected officials into that group, the greedy and selfish group that allows themselves to engage in insider trading and to employ their families in foreign places for the purpose of selling influence.
Oh, those of you who would poo-poo that statement, you know who these people are yet you choose to…
That group of the selfish and greedy politicians, not all our politicians, but a good deal of them and a good deal of them on the left who are protected by Pravda USA, the American Politburo politicians, gave themselves the exemption to Obamacare and make us pay with our tax dollars for their sexual indiscretions because we fund their slush fund, and not by choice either.
They put erasers on pencils because we all make mistakes. Making a mistake is okay. Happens to all of us. In this pandemic, something we’ve never seen before, our data may be skewed. Who knew? Who knows? Eventually more studies will come out and we’ll get real data that shows how well the scientists and doctors did with this, with determining who and how many are infected and what the real death rates are, etc.
Key point: who knew? As of yet, who knows? We’re in uncharted waters here.
The real deal is the President and his Administration and his lead scientists are looking at the big picture as well as immediate circumstances. Eventually the devastating economic effects of an unduly long shutdown will kill more people than the virus, if not the whole economy of the country itself.
And herein is the real problem. There are those, particularly the mainstream media, Pravda USA, and the undying lefty politicians (like Chucky boy and Nancy girl) who see this as an opportunity to destroy Trump and gain power. They are salivating over it.
If they really cared about the American People and this country as a whole, what they should be and would be doing is sitting with the President and looking for the common sense and educated responses to the issues we face as a nation and more immediately in fighting this pandemic.
But alas, what you see is what you got, and if you listen to Pravda USA, the mainstream media, what they tell you is not what is.

Sunday was a beautiful day, a little windy but the sun was bright and out there for everyone to look at, out there in all its glory. My daughter was antsy and she wanted to go out so we drove to one of the parks and went for a nice long walk around. We had to practice some social distancing for people passing, but other than that, we were pretty lucky. We were fortunate.
Gratitude.
Yesterday was a wild day, very heavy rains and sustained high winds. Power outages occurred all over. We were lucky. We didn’t lose power. We lost it Sunday afternoon for about an hour or so. Why?
I’m thankful for electricity. More gratitude. But in this day and age in America, short of real tangible and uncontrollable circumstances, no one should be without power.
Today, Tuesday, is just another superb day. We have bright sunshine and it’s not too cold. The wind is there, but just a bit.
What a difference a day makes!
And it’s more than that.
I started to write a Monday Morning Rant the other day. I wanted to say that we have very little say and very little control over what’s going on these days, which I believe to be a true statement. I wanted to say that we go on and we will get through this and passed this. I wanted to say look to the sun. For me, just for me, having something like that to hold on to really helps. I don’t always feel positive, and like everyone, I’ve got my own stuff, maybe more than some people, maybe not. Who knows? I’m trying not to get weighed down by it.
Sometimes that’s easy. Sometimes not. Sometimes it’s like the days we have, some good ones, some not so good ones, and of course there’s some great ones.
Anyway, here we are. It’s important to remember that we all wear different shoes and we all have different perspectives. So no matter how I’m feeling personally at any given time, an objective look at my family and me says that as a whole we are very fortunate. It’s pretty interesting. We are not perfect, not ideal, neither rich nor poor. But here we are.
Other people are not as fortunate. Some are much more fortunate than we are. And so it goes.
So I see we are getting back to — we never really left – politics. While the President, no matter what you think of him, is doing what he can to help the country get through the pandemic, mostly behind-the-scenes and some right out there for everyone to see the Democrats aided and abetted by a corrupt propaganda media machine, Pravda USA, are campaigning, politicking, fundraising and maneuvering to effect their agenda.
I’m not going to say much more than that. We all wear different shoes and we see things as we see them. The one thing that must be continually stated is that the mainstream media is not and has not been for a very long time telling us the truth. In fact, it no longer even attempts to hide its bias. This is dangerous. In accordance with the Democrat credo – never let a good crisis go to waste — the Democrats’ puppet-Pravda USA Mainstream Media-is using this crisis to advance the leftist agenda instead of presenting truth and/or attempting to find it. It is working against the President, for the Democrats and against the well-being of the American people and America.
Not only is this dangerous, but it’s wrong and it’s immoral.
What a difference a day makes. Or is it any difference at all?
By Peter Weiss
I’m getting up there in age, well into the high-risk group for the corona virus and that weighs heavily on my mind. But this isn’t about that. Not really. This is more about thought.
Lately, more often than before I’ve been having thoughts about how events and things have changed my life. I’ve been wondering what I would have been if this or that had happened or if I hadn’t done this or that. It’s not so much in the form of regrets although honestly there are some regrets. It’s more in the form of wonderings. I wonder what I would have been if this hadn’t happened and then that had happened because this happened, etc.
Some things happened. Some things I did. Some things happened and then I did some things because those things happened. Maybe I would have done other things.
Who knows?
So I was out for a good walk today. One of the things I’m doing since I’m working from home and home a lot more now is trying to get back into shape. I was a long distance runner for about twenty years, until my hip started to bother me. That ended up in a hip replacement and the hip replacement kind of meant no running, and I got out of shape. Now my other hip is an issue, but not so bad yet, so I’ve been working little by slowly at getting back into shape.
A couple of minutes out on the road walking and I started into some of those what-if thoughts. And I thought to myself, don’t do that. It was a fair thing to say to myself. Some things, sometimes, are just not worth going into, end up not being productive at all.
And that’s the point of this. It’s a simple point: Don’t do that.
It kind of applies across the board. We should not be playing politics at this point in time. Don’t do that. But I spoke about that last time.
So the next don’t do that is second guessing. No one really knows the truth of what is going on with the covid virus. It’s pretty sure China isn’t telling us the truth about their numbers. Other countries don’t measure as we do and don’t know what we know. And in all fairness, vice versa. Altogether we aren’t that great. Our numbers as they flash on the screen do not project a real picture of what is going on. If you listen to the full reports of the people studying this, you get great variables in the projections and vastly different scenarios.
So don’t cheat. Don’t stockpile medical equipment. Don’t sell equipment out from under our first responders to make a bigger profit.
Don’t second guess what our leaders are doing. Those in charge of states, cities and the country are doing the best they can with what they have. We may not agree with everything and we may not like some things, but they have no reason not to be. So don’t sit in the background and take cheap shots, don’t second guess. We’re in uncharted waters here, so make the least negative assumptions.
We are who we are and we know what we know. We all have different points of view and come from different backgrounds. We all wear different shoes.
Don’t do that: don’t be part of the negativity.
Look to the sun.

I was listening to classic rock, which is one of my favorite things to listen to, and some Bruce Springsteen came on. Springsteen, whose music I like, was one of the first musicians to come out with political positions a long, long time ago. What he said back then was enough to make me not want to listen to his music anymore. And I haven’t. When he came on, I remembered that right away and I turned to a different station.
It’s okay to have political positions. It’s okay to have political positions I don’t agree with. It’s okay for us to disagree and we can still be friends. We can discuss and converse. We can exchange ideas and learn from each other.
But it’s not okay for people like Springsteen and more recently like Taylor Swift (who I think is somewhat talented) to be making proclamations to us from their elevated positions. What they do is speak in platitudes. For example, the people of Hollywood and the entertainment industry tell us medical care should be free for everyone and they endorse the Medicare for everyone position.
The point is: there’s nothing wrong with that position. It’s a position. You can agree with it or not, as you wish, no big deal either way. But you shouldn’t be endorsing a position you, yourself, will never adhere to. Springsteen and all those high-rollers, the moment they get sick they are off to their high-cost private doctors and clinics, paying for it in cash no matter what the cost because whatever the cost is, it’s a drop in the bucket to them.
And so it goes.
The most classic examples are Al Gore and the Hollywood special people like DiCaprio who fly around in their private planes imploring us to adhere to their climate policies. You know who these people are. We all know who they are.
Same thing for the abortion issue. Everyone of those powerful-position females like Madonna if they ever wanted an abortion aren’t going to Planned Parenthood. They talk to us in platitudes knowing full well that their money affords them opportunity to do as they please regardless of what the laws are.
Netflix now has available George Carlin’s last HBO special. He’d just turned seventy. In that special he proclaims loud and clear that it’s all BS. You know what? Most of what we hear from our leaders and those we set up as role models is pure BS. Like Bernie who actually knows what he’s saying, they speak in platitudes making proclamations they have no personal intentions of ever having to follow or live by. It is all BS and they are full of it.
So don’t get any on you.
By Peter Weiss
So forget our government. As regards information, these days, take what you need and leave the rest. Regarding all the rest, they’re full of it, and you just choose what “it” smells best to you.
In a nutshell, that’s it.
As far as the media goes, you know, Pravda USA, they’re so far off the mark that they can’t even see the mark anymore. It’s all about agendas, personal agendas.
So there’s a good line in the movie Shooter spoken by Ned Beatty. He says “There are no sides, son, there’s only haves and have-nots.”
Overall, clear as day, and make no mistake about it, that is what drives the agendas. Envision it any way you choose. We are the zombies, they are the people. We are in the districts, they are in the gated city. We are the cows in the pasture who have to produce the milk. They own the farm and drink the champagne they buy with the money made from selling the milk that we must produce for them.
And so it goes.
No. I’m not really bitter. I have my feelings and my resentments. I have my experiences and the effects of them, and I have what was superimposed upon me by my parents and those people who have had any influence in my life. It is what it is.
If anything, especially now, I’m thankful. I woke up this morning. My family has its medical issues but we are mostly okay. I’m thankful I worked all my life and while we are not rich, we are okay. I’m thankful I have a job and I’m set up to work from home and can do so for this period of time, whatever it will be. I’m thankful that my parents taught me to work hard, to rely upon myself, to not be wasteful and to save for the future. Especially in times like now, I’m glad I didn’t spend my money on two hundred dollar sneakers or brand-new cars that I couldn’t afford the payments for. I’m glad that I bought what I could afford, saved my money and am prepared for a rainy day. Today might be that rainy day in this environment. I don’t think so, but it just might be, and that’s the whole point of not living beyond your means or being dependent upon others.
I’m grateful for so much more too. I wrote about that in the little piece on gratitude. I’m most glad I’m in America, and this even though our government is FOS. It is FOS, no question about it. But still and all, America is the best place to be, at least as as I see it.
Right now, and at least for now, everything is quiet in my house. Last night when I wrote some of this, one dog was downstairs watching TV with my wife. One was in bed with my daughter. They were both sleeping peacefully.
Thank God for the little things. I thought that then and still think it now.
That’s about it altogether. The only thing I implore everyone to do is to look clearly and closely at everything. Believe nothing the government and Pravda USA say until you verify it for yourself. Follow the Golden Rule and remember man is by nature selfish and greedy. Try not to be one of the greedy and selfish. Fight that instinct. Being able to understand our instincts and to temper them is what it means to be human.

My mother died when I was twelve. I’ve written about this too. For all we or anyone knew, she was healthy one day and dead the next. We ate pizza, she got what seemed like indigestion, my father called the doctor who said it was indigestion and he’d see her in the morning if she were not better. Seven-thirty the next morning, after she’d dressed herself to go to the doctor, she plopped down on that green sofa and died. But she didn’t die before knowing that my aunt gave birth to a baby girl.
You get what you get. My little cousin, named after my mother, now fifty-seven, has had to live every birthday under the shadow of my mother’s death. But I wonder. I wonder if that’s her reality. I feel for her, but then I think maybe it’s just me. You know. Maybe she doesn’t feel anything about it or think about it. She never knew my mother. Her father, my uncle, was crazy about my mother. He was deaf. You get what you get.
My cousin got what she got and I got what I got, and of course my father and brother got what they got, and the whole family did too, the luck of the draw. It is what it is.
And there’s so much more of course.
A little while ago I wrote a series here about those shoes you, we, anyone and everyone are standing in. The series was about perspective, how we see things and why. It kind of centered around politics, about all the free stuff the Democrats are promising and how one views that. If you are not paying taxes or have been irresponsible and/or uncaring about your finances (like living way beyond your means), that free stuff is a great thing, like really almost free. But if you pay taxes, work hard, live within your means (like going to a college you can afford and not buying a house you can’t afford or taking expensive vacations instead of paying credit card bills, etc.) then you’re not only not getting any free stuff, but you’re paying for the free stuff for those who are getting it. So you view the offers of free stuff differently than they do because you understand free isn’t free. Whose shoes are you wearing? Which ones?
My father, POW in Nazi Germany for three and a half years, got what he got. As I’ve been told, for at least six months after he was home, every time he heard an airplane he had to run out into the backyard to see whose plane it was. Then there’s the famous story of his jumping under the kitchen table at my aunt’s house. As she told it, it scared the hell out of her.
Hello Georgewood!
Along with the PTSD (they didn’t know much about PTSD back then) he had a pretty severe case of jungle rot. He also got a rheumatic heart that the government would claim no responsibility for.
You get what you get. It is what it is.
Anyway, if you’re one of the remaining World War II veterans, or a veteran of any war, especially Vietnam whose Vets got a raw deal, and that’s not the half of it, and you see what the Democrats are standing for here in 2020 – I don’t even have to say it.
You get what you get. It is what it is.
While he was overseas, my father’s father died. They didn’t tell him his father died. It was one of his first surprises for when he was liberated and returned home.
Recently I ran into a Vet wearing a Big Red One insignia on his cap. My father was Big Red One. Go Infantry!
(To be continued)
By Peter Weiss
It doesn’t always feel “there but for the Grace of God.” Sometimes it feels like “why me?”
Why me?
In real life, and I write about this in my fiction too, that’s a real question. Of course it manifests itself in different ways. When something happens I might think: why now? Or I might think: why me?
So if the cop singles me out and pulls me over, especially when I’m not doing anything other than what anyone and everyone else is doing, then it’s why me? That’s how it was way back in Columbus that day when the cop pulled me out of the crowd of people who were jaywalking and gave me the two-dollar ticket. Why me? Of course I knew why me that time. That time it was me because I was the only hippie in the crowd.
Yes. Long ago I was a hippie. I was ripe for being singled out that time and getting that ticket.
Why now is a different question. You know, and you probably all know well too, when you’re on your way out the door and you shut down your computer and the blue screen flashes “updating do not turn off,” that’s a why now question.
In my fiction, unless it’s within a character, I rarely, if ever, ask why me. Most often, if not always, it’s a why question, and more often than not it’s a “why this one and not that one” question.
I call that my sixty-four thousand dollar question. I almost always ask it like this: why does one dog get euthanized and the one right next to it get adopted?
Honestly, for me, that is a real question. Personally, I find it fascinating. And that dog who’s getting adopted, if we could read its thoughts it might be thinking: there but for the Grace of God… as it watches the dog being taken away.
Somewhere, somehow, some way, it all fits together.
Being cynical and without actually being political, I can tell you decisively that these considerations are foolish ones to our politicians and leaders. They don’t apply, and even if they did they wouldn’t matter. Again, not being political, to them, it’s silly stuff.
Except to say I’m extremely disappointed in where governments and leaders have taken us, even horribly ashamed actually, enough of that.
So back to the perplexing question. I understand and very often feel “there but for the Grace of God.” And I look up into the heavens and I wonder. No, this is not religious. I do believe in God, but this is not about that. This is about gratitude and being thankful on the one hand and about wondering, maybe wonderings, on the other. So much, especially these days, I wonder about.
As from last time, I wonder if this is all we are. I take a look at human behavior and I wonder for how smart and technologically advanced as we are, how can we be so stupid? so mean? so evil? so selfish and greedy?
I wonder what would happen if we followed collectively what the majority of us believe individually, you know, the simple, easy Golden rule, do unto others. If we could actually follow that, the rest of it would fall into place.
And then I wonder about fate, maybe luck, that sixty-four thousand dollar question: why does one dog get euthanized when the one next to it is adopted and finds a loving home?
In a sense, that’s the “why me?” question on a bigger scale, on a grand scale.
But even then, especially then maybe, when stuck in the “why me,” a good sense of gratitude goes a long way.

Last time I spoke about this, the amount was over a hundred million dollars. Then it went to two hundred million. Now it’s over four hundred million dollars just by Bloomberg alone. That’s a four with eight zeros, or, 400,000,000. And that’s just on advertising.
Last time I spoke about it, I quoted some other dollar figures. First, it would take about 650,000,000 to completely house the homeless in California the first year. After that it would take about 350,000,000 per year.
Or, Bloomberg will have spent more on advertising by the time he’s finished with whatever he’s doing for his presidential campaign than it would take to house the homeless in California.
There’s something obscene about that.
There’s something grossly wrong with that.
Is this what we’ve become and what we are?
Think about it.
I could talk about Bloomberg personally. I experienced his overhaul of the NYC school system. They say he raised the high school graduation level in NYC. That’s probably true to some extent, but I saw the inside of that, of what they did, the principals of the “small schools” he created, to doctor the graduation rates so that their schools would not be either put on probation or summarily closed.
Another scam. So many scams. So many lies.
Is this all we are?
So here’s the Bloomberg school overhaul model. One high school with 3000 students was turned into eight small schools. Those eight small schools each had a principal and two assistant principals. That’s eight principal salaries and sixteen assistant principal salaries for the building, same amount of students, if not less. The original school had one principal and fourteen assistant principals. Principals and assistant principals cost a lot more than teachers.
The Bloomberg paradigm was management heavy. They had to cut teachers because they had no money. Or the Bloomberg model is for the upper tier, not the workers.
That’s just a perfunctory comparison. It doesn’t begin to talk to the lack of student services, inability to handle intramural sports, etc.
But it looked good on paper.
About looking good: would you rather own a football team that wins the Super Bowl but doesn’t look so pretty doing it or a team that has great style and panache but can’t win?
Obama looked and talked great. He was pretty. Bush looked okay and talked like a president, whatever that means. So they were okay except for policy differences. Enmity and personal dislike were not real factors, not that they didn’t exist but…you get the point.
Trump talks different, is a bit more crass and crude, not all that different from LBJ, who was cruder and got a pass. But Trump, if you listen to the off-the-wall Democrats, is the end of the world as we know it.
So, for all our technological advances, is this all we are?
My God! The smarter we get and the more we know, the more stupid we become.
If you listen to today’s discourse, nearly every bit of rationality and factual verification is absent. Not many, if any, of our politicians are interested in logic or truth. They say the most outrageous things and expect us to go for it. They call us deplorable, say we’re too stupid to know what we want as a people and then they do what they want.
If you look at them and where we’re at, with as much money being spent by one person on mere advertising as it would take to completely fix the homeless problem in California, you just can’t help but wonder: is this it? Is this all we are, all we’ve come to? Is this all we’ll ever be?
By Peter Weiss
So back to movies. From Here To Eternity and Here Comes Mr. Jordan are my two favorites. They both are in black and white although I know at least one of them was colorized. Black and white is better, was better back then. Contrast. Clarity. Technique. That’s why.
We’ve come into an era where every waking moment we are bombarded by stimuli. Statistics recording stimuli are staggering, more in one day than our ancestors one hundred-fifty years ago had in a month. Don’t quote me on that. I remember reading it and it’s probably outdated by now. It might have been more in one hour now than in a month then.
The point is that to get attention nowadays you have to be bigger and badder, louder and louder, more and more outrageous. You have to bang the public on the head and say: look at me.
Then: simplicity, clarity, contrast, technique.
Now: outrage, shock-factor, bigger and badder (with little consideration to better).
The next movie I mentioned was Passenger 57. It’s not a great movie, not even a great movie in its genre. It’s just a simple one-man-saves-the-world action movie. I find it of import because it sets a new limit, a higher one in the outrageousness of where we’ve come as a race of people regarding meaningless killing and narcissism.
Passenger 57 presents changes in our established moral code. We are asked to accept as part of our reality the wanton killing of a family man as the way we’ve come, the way we are evolving as a people.
And we do. Now, some years after 9/11, some time after the making of Passenger 57, we see things like this and it’s just another killing, another terrorist act, another day, ho-hum.
Next movie: Set It Off. Four black women rob banks to get money not because they are criminals but because the system will not give them a break, won’t let them make a living even though they try and won’t even let them simply be themselves. They are discriminated against because of their color and abused because they are women.
Of course robbing banks isn’t the answer, no matter what. But that said, they get caught, because they are not criminals, and they “fight it out.” One gets away and one detective sees her getting away and decides to let her go.
This one is a good movie. It’s groundbreaking in many ways. It’s of import (to me) in that it lays bare what the system is in real-life modern terms and questions the rightness and wrongness of the system. It has more in it too, lots more.
So nowadays there’s a real question about who we are and what we are. Nowadays, there are lots of questions most of which none of us ask. We are busy. We are inundated. We are bombarded by stimuli, most of them distracting, useless and negative. A lot of them are even false or falsified. So like that once-shocking-the-senses killing in Passenger 57, we’re numbed, stressed-out, beyond the limit, and consequently we don’t ask the questions we should be asking.
Believe me, there’s lots of questions.
Why movies?
We can learn from them. The old ones including my two favorites show a clear sense of our morality and sense of justice back then, and the new ones, who knows? Morality is convoluted. Justice is often not served.
Kind of what we’re like and where we are at nowadays, huh?
Don’t get me wrong. No better place to be than here in the USA. But our system, our government, is broken and breaking more and more. If you listen to Pravda USA media– you know who they are–they’ll tell you it’s President Trump who did it and is doing it. If you’re interested in truth and reality, you will look at what the Democrats have done from before Hillary lost until now. They’re already talking of another impeachment.
Nowadays in the movies we’re the zombies. The Democrats want us to be just that.
