GETTING A GRIP ON IT.

I never like to break my rule on this blog when it comes to political discussions or opinions. No one wants to hear from me on that matter and I can agree that it shouldn’t appear in this space.

Would you watch someone get run over by a car and you have the power to warn that person, but don’t? That reasoning is why I will break my self-imposed rule about political views and opinions.

That the Messiah has come or the second coming of God and Jesus, makes me want to either speak out or go to church again. It’s been a while since I saw the inside of a church so I think I will speak out. My going to church will only cause the parishioners money as they repair the roof by committing to weekly or monthly donations beyond what they give already or may afford.

I fear the President of the United States has lost his way, his proclamation of being the: Chosen one” is one for deep pause and reflection. To determine that Democratic Jewish voters will be disloyal to the USA and Israel if they do not vote for him in 2020 is outrageous! That we should value the opinion of Israeli citizens over US citizens is idiotic in their like or dislike of Mr. Trump or the Messiah. American Jews live under this myopic, disingenuous, and faltering administration, seeing first-hand the destruction of our moral standing in this world, the inhumanity it fosters on immigrants that are desperate to free themselves and their families of oppression, poverty, and violence that they risk everything for a chance to live in the US.

My ancestors came to America for the same reasons that they do now, seeking the same freedoms and joy in life. Coming here legally is impossible for some for various reasons like quotas and restrictions. Instead of embracing these poor souls, we find ways to further punish them. Like every American who came to this country over the centuries, this new wave of immigration is as entitled to citizenship as ever before. Who among us can become a self-righteous, self-anointed, gatekeeper of the personal lives and happiness of the incoming poor and desperately seeking? How dare we determine what is good for one and not for another?

I witness the “Fake News” every day of the week. I read the Tweets and listen to the statements that ‘THE MESSIAH’ makes every day and it gets worse until he finds the worst thing to utter or tweet about.

Every day I wonder how we can continue when he makes declarations that tumble the stock market, force farmer who had a decent thriving business wonder what tomorrow will bring? Seeking reason I wonder how we can support tariff wars that he thinks will make him seem like a champion of this country, destroying livelihoods, fortunes, and hope? Similarly, I wonder how do you justify supporting someone who supports our enemy, Russia, Its manipulative quest to undermine our government and electoral system?

Then he decides that maybe being President of the United States of America he can run the government like one of his failing business, maybe sink us into bankruptcy with schemes like buying Greenland. Do his boastfulness and lying give his supporters comfort? All his promises seem to lie in disarray, shattered like the truths we must all reckon with someday because of his inability to govern and sit in a floundering posture that leaves it all over his head.

Let’s wake up America! The fault lies not with Trump, but it does with the Republican Party and its refusal to see the truth, about immigration, gun control, and the interference of the NRA. Trump’s disjointed policy towards China and North Korea, leaving us in a winless situation as he takes a sophomoric and ill-advised stance on matters of great importance. His lack of professional and intelligent advisors is only during us deeper into the great abyss.

As for the Democrats, where does their responsibility lie in terms of Trump’s election? Perhaps we should examine what they put up for President the last time out? Hilary Clinton was not someone we could trust as she demonstrated throughout her career as First Lady and carpetbagger from New York running for a Senate seat and one of the most divisive and disingenuous people that ever took the stage in American politics.

But getting back to Trump, he is not a political problem, he is a national problem that is cancerous and endangering our democracy, we need to rid ourselves of him. Impeachment or voting him out of office is a must, not to get back at Republicans or Democrats, but to get back our country.
