How did we slide back on the evolutionary scale? As a people, how did we lose our humanity? There’s insufficient space here to say all that needs to be said about love, regard, sincerity, respect, courtesy, mutuality, courage, caring, friendship, trust, the golden rule, fairness, courage, humility, generosity, and oh yes. honesty.
I invite any readers to add missing qualities in today’s world in their replies.

This does not excuse the perpetrators. Their continued intimidation tactics will not prevent me from performing the duties I swore an oath to do. Our democracy is tested constantly, it continues to prevail, and it will not falter under my watch.
But there are those, including the president, members of Congress and other elected officials, who are perpetuating misinformation and are encouraging others to distrust the election results in a manner that violates the oath of office they took. It is well past time that they stop. Their words and actions have consequences.
Now, I am calling on other leaders in this state, including the governor whose deafening silence has contributed to the growing unrest, to stand up for the truth. When facing unimaginable challenges this election year, Arizonans stepped up. More people are registered to vote in our state than ever before, election participation has been at historic highs, thousands answered the call to work at voting locations during a pandemic, and people made their voices heard.
This should be a time for thanking voters and election workers for their incredible commitment during unprecedented challenges. In that spirit, I offer my gratitude and express my admiration for the Arizonans who inspire trust in our democracy. [Amen]

Q: If not, why are the Republicans in the Senate helping to gut our democracy?
A: I haven’t a clue, unless they’re afraid they might run into him on Fifth Avenue some day.
…MY ENTRIES as noble as possible, without following our president’s example. Therefore, Perhaps for awhile I’ll be downright silly. So you can ignore me, that’s okay. My political focus has already cost me readers in search of escape let’s pretend. (Alas, I ought not bad mouth any straggling readers! I continue self-quarantined.)
WRITE YOU a poem every day?
After the fat lady sings, I say,
And after the ice man cometh
Maybe that path I will runneth.
___
I’d sing to my plants if I could,
But vocal chords no longer sound good.
On the other hand when I burp
The birds tend to answer my chirp.
___
Perhaps my boundaries are loose–
I’m all over the place, forsooth
And Bob’s been reincarnated,
Already inebriated.

FROM MY SNAIL MAIL:
Some states having lockdowns and not others is like selecting a spot for pissing in a swimming pool.
Hair Turn White Overnite?
It was white today when he spoke in the rose garden. Didn’t he used to have orange hair? Glad he’s talking, anyway.
There’s been a recent scientific discovery that accounts for hair turning white overnight due to an extreme stressor. But…oh, Wait…
At first this story had a honeymoon ending, and I hope but am afraid there are dark days ahead, even though Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won. One of my concerns is that it appears Trump is boxing himself in to even more radical plans. (As though asking that the count be halted when he was ahead weren’t enough). I’m impressed how much planning and work and thinking has gone into Biden and Harris’ transistion already. I hope it will play out to the advantage of democracy.
So, the tale continues until Jan. 20th. And I would be remiss if…
I didn’t congratulate the FBI for preventing the kidnap plot against the governor of Michigan via one or more undercover agents, and I am also grateful to the FBI for the prevention and apprehension of violent attempted disruptors of vote counting in Philadelphia, again by the FBI’s dedication to their jobs during the very time the Attorney General was harshly and very publicly berating them. By the way, the world is continuing to watch democracy in action…? I hope.
Such a good re-blog!
OOPS! Where did it go? Too rushed to do a good job on Election Day–for instance, trying to get my tv working again.
The day has arrived, with our president threatening to fire Dr. Fauzi if he (Trump) is elected–which he doesn’t legally have the power to do. (WHAT ELSE IS NEW?) Donald Jr. caused mischief by siccing his father’s henchmen on Biden’s campaign tour bus. Over much of the United States–our democracy–store fronts and government buildings have been boarded up in anticipation of UNREST. That’s a hopeful name for it. One reporter said he had asked a voter what Trump had done for her and she couldn’t think of anything, but said looking at him made her feel good….Will the denouement of this chapter of democracy occur today…or tomorrow…or in January…or will it be determined by…the supreme court? Tune in…
