The Speech President Biden Should Make

The Speech President Biden Should Make

    Like most of you, I have been looking at the recent election results and giving them some serious thought. I noted the voting trends and the underlying forces that drive those trends.
    One thing that sticks out is that we have a couple of newly emerging forces in the electorate, and they will only grow stronger with time. They will shape the future.
    One of those forces is Women Voters. You may say that Women have been voting for a century.
    But now Women are voting with great purpose. The attacks on their personal freedom has given them focus, a cause. They not only are demanding their rights and that everyone respect those rights, they want to clean up the old politics that played games with their rights. They want a New Politics that respects their rights, their intelligence and their future.
    The other group is Young Voters.   
    The Young Voters do not vote in great numbers, at least not now, but those that do vote have decidedly shifted their focus. Their main concern is the future, and that means they are looking at environmental and climate issues and are demanding action. That is not to say they are not concerned about our society and how they can shape a better world. But they know that if we don’t change our ways of production and consumption, there won’t be anything left of society. They are demanding Progress.
    To sum it up, what I am seeing among these two groups and those that are similarly motivated, is a demand for ‘Freedom, Equality, and Progress.’
    These forces want, even, demand, a positive approach to politics with an end to negative campaigning and attack ads.
    They want substantive policy and program proposals that can be negotiated with reasonable, differing proposals  to create workable solutions to the problems and challenges we all face.
    These forces want Freedom and Equality for everyone, not just a select few, and not at the expense of someone else’s Freedom and Equality.

    I ask the people quit paying attention to the conspiracy theories, almost all of which do not stand up to a logical or fact-based inquiry. These negative thoughts are distracting us from accomplishing the American dream - making a better world.
    All of the above has led me to make a big decision.
    I have decided not to run for re-election for President in 2024.
    These new, vibrant forces of the future want a more dynamic figure, one not tied to the old politics.
    Not that I don’t believe as they do, or don’t want to fight the good fight.
    But America is about change and that must include new people to lead us into the future. This is not about age so much as it is about getting away from the old politics of division, suspicion, and fear and loathing.
    I would urge other people in politics to consider making the same decision.

    There is an old belief in American politics that no politician ever rules themselves out until they have lost the election because this decision makes them a ‘lame duck.’ And a Lame Duck supposedly loses all political leverage and political power.
    That’s the Old Politics.
    By declaring myself out, I am now free to pursue my agenda and will not have to consider the political consequences, especially how it will affect my re-election chances.
    I will be stronger than ever. We will get this country headed in the right direction while we pass the torch to the New Forces.
    As for the obstructionists and naysayers - please get out of the way - we have a future to create, an American Dream to live.
    In the meantime, I am still President Joe Biden.
    Let’s go!

Election Day 2022 - A New Beginning

 We have had two days in this century that brought us sadness, anger, and fear - 9/11 and Jan. 6.
Finally, we have a day to celebrate - November 8.
On that Election Day, the American voting public turned its back on political extremism and the negativism that was dragging us down.
We cast our ballots for thoughtful moderation, civil discourse, and our belief in democracy.
The act of voting was a reaffirmation of our trust in our system of selecting those who will carry out the will of the people.
This is not a proposal to declare “Nov 8” as a federal holiday. It is, however, a request that we pause, think, and recommit ourselves to working together to resolve our differences. We now have a departure date to show when we turned it around and began to create a better world for ourselves and our posterity.

Trump Classified Documents at Mar-a-Lago

Trump's lawyers have lied and deceived so much about the Mar-a-Lago classified documents that they should be disbarred.
They lied to Judge Aileen Cannon, Trump's appointee, to such a degree that she should recuse herself, right after she throws the lying shysters in jail for contempt of court.
Every day more details are emerging and showing how badly the Classified documents were (mis)handled. A lot of people should go to jail for Espionage Act and other violations.
I am not exaggerating. I can only think of one instance where there was worse mishandling - and that involved an Army Lieutenant that threw classified documents into a garbage dump and got away with it because his father was a General.
What is really scary is the lack of concern, as reflected in the media. The whole country should be up in arms about these security breaches.

Bannonstein's Monster

Donald Trump was too inept and psychologically disorganized to pull off the attempted coup on     January 6, trying to establish autocratic rule over our government.
Those around Trump - Bannon, Eastman, and Flynn, to name a few - were using Trump, manipulating him as a ‘useful fool’, attempting to steal the election and then inciting the insurrection.
‘Bannonstein’s Monster’ slipped its traces and did not respond to commands or other mind-control cues at key moments on that fateful day, as the coup failed and the Monster and Controllers lost their plausible deniability for everything that happened.
We are fortunate to have survived the scheming and treachery of the Machiavellian cabal.
Even so, these ‘puppeteers of power’ should be investigated and prosecuted for the insurrection and attempted seizure of the federal government.

Women Take Action

                                                                                                                             July 20, 2022
First Lady Jill Biden
The White House
Subject: Women Take Action

Dr. Biden,

The 2022 General Election is fast approaching - 111 days away.
America is split, our national politics are lurching aimlessly, and men continue to be in charge.
It is time for Women to take charge and redirect our national focus and energy.
You and a reasonable Republican national figure, such as Sen. Susan Collins and/or Sen. Lisa Murkowski, should call for American Women to take action. Call for those women who do not normally show up for demonstrations or initiate petitions. You need regular, concerned females answering the Call to Duty.
The immediate need is to secure the election system. Poll workers and poll watchers are needed to process the balloting and vote counting and make sure the system is not corrupted. You might find that female military veterans would be good people to help in this task.
While this is going on, other Women should be out registering female voters, providing information about the issues and candidates, and making sure these voters actually vote.
Coordinating with the League of Women Voters would provide you with a readymade organizational structure, for these two actions.
Another action to take is to set up a national poll of adult females. This great mass of humanity is generally overlooked and seldom listened to. Call up the female billionaires of America and ask them to contribute.
Hire the biggest 10 polling companies and send them out to ask three basic questions:
    What do you need/want?
    What can the government do for you?
    What can you and the government do together?
Follow this up with an open ended comment section - let the Women finally say what they feel. Males will ignore this at their political peril.
Start with the counties that voted Obama-Trump-Biden and work from there.

Amnesia/Anemia - So What?

 I am having an existential crisis.
I cannot remember the difference between amnesia and anemia                                                                  and I don’t have the energy to look it up.

In the face of the growing crisis, Americans must unite

 Cold War II has begun and could lead to World War III. Instead of bombs and bullets, the conflicts will mainly occur on the battlefields of economies (national, personal, business), electronics (high tech), and energy.
We must immediately come together to face new challenges. Examples: 1. Lithium and rare Earth metals are needed for modern industries but are in short supply. How do we obtain these resources without harming our environment? 2. COVID is still a dangerous medical contagion, but we also need in-person education. 3. Medicare already has financial viability issues; COVID with its long-term effects will make the money issue worse.
What we need now is Americans meeting together in good faith, putting aside their personal preferences and ideologies and coming up with practical solutions. When we put our minds to it, there are no better people on Earth for solving problems.

Trump, Pence, and the Evangelicals

 The Jan. 6 hearings have shown the worst aspects of Pres. Donald Trump, especially his treatment of VP Mike Pence.
Trump pressured Pence to betray his (Pence’s) values and his sworn oath to the Constitution in Trump’s attempt to subvert our electoral system.
Trump allowed, if not encouraged, the mob to threaten Pence’s life (“Hang Mike Pence”).
The question is, can Evangelical and other conservative Christians continue to support Trump knowing that Trump acted in such a harmful way to the living symbol of their faith who is in public service?

Reproductive Rights Defense

 Reproductive Rights Defense

Since many states have chosen to outlaw abortion and therefore abolish or control reproductive rights of women, it is natural to follow up with laws covering other aspects of primacy/reproduction.

There should be a federal law that any State that passes a statute restricting or abolishing any aspect of female reproduction should also pass other laws on the same subject.
      The State in question should also pass a law stating when a woman must have an
       abortion  or other reproductive procedure.
      Similarly, laws must be passed about men’s reproductive rights and restrictions.  
      There should be rules about restricting when males can have vasectomies and
      when they must have vasectomies.

2. A federal law should be passed requiring each state to limit reproduction activity
    (coitus) to those who are prepared to economically and parentally provide for the
    care of any offspring that might occur.

3. There should be a federal law that requires any State restricting abortions to have
     minimal prenatal and postnatal care, maintain a public school system that is in the
     top 67% academically of all the states, and ensure or provide a nutritional system
     that guarantees a healthy diet for each child in that state.
    The Federal Government shall determine the standards of measurement (for
    Law #3), and determine when a State is out of compliance.

Putin and Hitler

President Vladimir Putin of Russia appears to be planning a “false flag” operation as an excuse for invading Ukraine. This is reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s false flag attack on Gleiwitz  in August 1939, which began World War II.
Hitler had taken power in Germany and began to build an authoritarian state into a totalitarian one.
Internally, he attacked those who were different ethnically, religiously, and ideologically. He accused those scapegoats of defiling and betraying The State.
Externally, Hitler kept seizing adjacent territory as a matter of restoring German imperial power. Then came the false flag attack pretext and Poland was invaded.
Putin is taking the same steps within and without Russia. He has taken Hitler’s playbook and made it his own.
How will we, the U.S. and the Free World, react to Putin’s moves - with direct action or appeasement?

The 'Do Nothing' Republicans

The filibuster rule as presently used in the Senate should not be changed. If the Republicans become the majority party in the Senate and the House and in 2024 win the Presidency, the filibuster will be the only barrier to populist Know-Nothingism ruling our nation.
But the Democrats can use the present situation to their advantage.
The Democrats must continue to press for change and progress. Make sure that everything is on the record, especially the blocking and stalling of the GOP.
Then go to the people with a message of how the Republicans are the problem.
Harry Truman won the 1948 presidential election by constantly referring to the “Do Nothing Congress.”
Joe Biden and the Democrats can win by damning the opposition as the “Do Nothing Republicans.”
