REMEMBERING SOME OF THE GOOD, WHILE REMOVING THE EVIL #1. HEY DEMOCRATS IN VA.,TX.,OH.,FL.THIS IS WHAT STOPPING FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

 

IN PRAISE OF MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN.

SINCE TRUMP AND HIS REPUBLICAN/FASCIST/RUSSIAN ALLIES CONTINUE TO MAKE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE, AND THE INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL COWARDICE THAT IS EXHIBITED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE U.S. CONTINUES TO AID TRUMP BY THEIR INABILITY AND/OR UNWILLINGNESS TO DO, WELL, ANYTHING TO COUNTER HIS IRRATIONAL AND NARCISSISTIC DRIVEL, MEANS IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER 2020 ELECTION RECAP, but first...

Fortunately, for all Americans, Democrats in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, victims of the 2016 Election Debacle that handed an Undeserving Donald Trump the White House, refused to allow a repetition of Bogus Returns to put an Unqualified Demagogue back into office. By instituting safeguards, they prevented the Republicans from again stealing the Electoral Votes that come with victory in each state. Trumpians hate fair and honest elections, EVIDENCED BY HIS TEMPER TANTRUMS WHEN HE REALIZED HIS ALLIES COULDN'T ALTER THE RESULTS IN 2020, THE WAY THEY HAD IN 2016. TRUMP COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT HONORABLE ELECTION OFFICIALS STILL EXIST IN THESE STATES.

It's too bad that other states seem to lack the Capability and/or Honesty to ensure that their elections actually record and publish honest numbers. IS IT CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE, LAZINESS etc. THAT PREVENTS "DEMOCRATS" IN SOME STATES FROM FOLLOWING POLICIES THAT WOULD PREVENT ANOTHER "DONALD TRUMP" FROM ILLEGALLY SEIZING THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY? ARE THEY DEMOCRATS IN NAME ONLY, WITH THEIR ALLEGIANCE REALLY GOING TO FAR RIGHT FANATICS, RUSSIANS, OR FASCISTS...

Equality is worth fighting for — Biden-Harris 2024.

 Dear David,

For their steadfast, fearless and unyielding support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans, the Human Rights Campaign proudly endorses President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for re-election in 2024.

The Biden-Harris administration has been the most pro-equality administration in U.S. history — a beacon of leadership and strength amid a surge of anti-LGBTQ+ extremism and hate in states across the country. Help show the strength of our community today by making a donation to support the re-election of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Biden-Harris administration has secured a host of important victories for LGBTQ+ people: from signing the Respect for Marriage Act — landmark legislation that enshrined marriage equality into federal law — to initiating executive actions that provide federal employment protections for LGBTQ+ people, military service protections for transgender people, restored non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people in healthcare, expanded mental health resources for LGBTQ+ youth, enforcement of the rights of LGBTQ+ students under Title IX and the end to blanket discrimination against gay and bisexual blood donors. President Biden has also appointed more openly LGBTQ+ ambassadors, executive officials and judges than any previous president. With LGBTQ+ Americans living in a state of emergency — experiencing unprecedented hostility and attacks from extremist politicians and their right-wing allies across the country who are working tirelessly to erase us — the stakes could not be clearer. The Biden-Harris administration’s leadership, strength and commitment to progress and equality are more crucial than ever. For LGBTQ+ Americans, what’s at stake in the 2024 presidential election is our humanity, our right to exist and our ability to live and raise our families in environments free from fear and discrimination.

That’s why it’s so critical that we vote and take other actions to support President Biden, Vice President Harris, and other pro-equality, pro-choice, pro-democracy leaders up and down the ballot: volunteer for a campaign, register new voters, drive them to the polls and donate. Pledge to “Vote&” help elect pro-equality candidates in Massachusetts and nationwide. HRC is also working to activate our more than 3 million members and supporters and to mobilize 62 million Equality Voters, for whom LGBTQ+ equality is a make-or-break issue, in support of the Biden-Harris re-election campaign. In addition, HRC will funnel significant and expanded investments into six battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — where HRC has already built up considerable infrastructure, including full-time staff and organizers who have remained on the ground since 2018 to help keep Equality Voters engaged. We cannot afford to be complacent or to sit on the sidelines — we must stay unified and win in November to advance our movement for equality and liberation. President Biden and Vice President Harris have shown time and again that all of us deserve to be treated equally and fairly. All of us deserve to be free. And all of us deserve to be treated with dignity and respect under the law. Donate now to the Biden-Harris re-election campaign and join HRC in supporting the most pro-LGBTQ+ President and Vice President in history. HRC is proud to endorse President Biden and Vice President Harris for re-election in 2024 and will fight hard for their victories and on-going support of our LGBTQ+ community.

PRESIDENT BIDEN REMEMBERS WHAT "...PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE..." MEANS, EVEN IF THE GOP DOESN'T. PART 1.

 

PRESIDENT BIDEN STANDING UP TO THE ANTI-VACCINATION AND ANTI-MASKER CROWD IS A RESPONSIBILITY THAT OTHER PROGRESSIVES SHOULD BE FOLLOWING.

(OF COURSE, I MEAN THE U.S. SENATE, ESPECIALLY THOSE ELECTED PRIOR TO 2016. IF YOU NEED TO ASK WHY, I SUGGEST YOU READ MY ARTICLES ON BARACK OBAMAS SELECTION FOR THE SUPREME COURT, AND THE 2016 ELECTION RETURNS.)

One thing I have learned about Politicians and Public Figures a long time ago is their ability to pick and choose which parts of a subject to discuss and criticize publicly, (Parts they have knowledge of and agree with), and the parts they attempt to avoid at all cost, (Parts they do not understand or comprehend, and would make them look Ignorant, Intellectually Challenged or Morally Bankrupt if they attempted to justify their opinions.)

This is especially true when it comes to matters of Law, with the U.S. CONSTITUTION BEING A PRIMARY AND OFTEN SHAMEFUL TARGET. Even worse, it seems to be a Tactic used by LAW SCHOOL GRADUATES, AS WELL AS THOSE WITH NO FORMAL LEGAL TRAINING.

I have written and published a number of Articles on the CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, ESPECIALLY THE "BILL OF RIGHTS," on this Website. So if this SUBJECT MATTER APPEALS TO YOU, I RECOMMEND BROWSING OTHER AREAS OF THIS SITE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

However, for this article, I will be referencing THE PREAMBLE.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

As you can see, the PREAMBLE OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION DOES NOT GO INTO SPECIFICS, BUT INSTEAD POINTS TO UNIVERSAL "GOODS" OR "NECESSITIES" THAT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED.

IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION.

- ESTABLISH JUSTICE.

- INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY

- PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE.

- PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE.

- SECURE THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY FOR

OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY.

What is most important. however, is what is said at the very beginning:

"WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES..."

Contrary to the Fascist Rhetoric we are often confronted with,

The CONSTITUTION is not just a collection of  Rules and Responsibilities

that protects the Individual from Abusive Government, BUT IS ALSO A SET

OF GUIDELINES THAT PROTECTS SOCIETY ITSELF FROM BEHAVIOR

BY AN INDIVIDUAL(S) THAT IS DESTRUCTIVE AND DETRIMENTAL TO

THE WELL-BEING AND BEST INTERESTS OF THE U.S. CITIZENRY AS A WHOLE.

TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY: WHAT AN INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN MAY WANT OR DESIRE,

HAS TO BE WEIGHED AGAINST HOW THAT AFFECTS THE POPULACE AS A COLLECTION

OF HUMAN BEINGS LIVING UNDER THE SAME RULES AND CIRCUMSTANCES.

TO BE CONTINUED...

So, allowing Putin to Dictate Foreign Policy to NATO members is the Better Choice? Caving in to Despots always ends well.

 LET'S LAY THIS ONE OUT:

NATO is a Treaty Organization created to protect its members from possible Foreign Invasion. (Which, at its creation, WAS THE U.S.S.R AND ITS SATELLITE PUPPET GOVERNMENTS.)

So, with the breakdown of the U.S.S.R, former IRON CURTAIN COUNTRIES SUCH AS POLAND, THE CZECH REPUBLIC, AND GERMANY join NATO. Given the recent history of THESE COUNTRIES BEING SUBJECT TO THE TYRANNIES OF STALIN AND HITLER, allying yourself with other DEMOCRACIES for mutual protection would seem to be a NO-BRAINER.

With the recent invasion of UKRAINE BY PUTIN, it would seem to be a pretty smart move, considering the fact that the rest of the world has apparently forgotten the LESSONS LEARNED BY THE CONFLICTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY.  LESSONS SUCH AS:

APPEASING OR BACKING DOWN TO SOCIOPATHIC HEADS OF STATE, WILL NOT MAKE THEM:

- MORE REASONABLE IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION.

- WILLING TO IMPLEMENT "HUMANITARIAN POLICIES."

-  PURSUE LESS AGGRESSIVE FOREIGN POLICIES THAT WILL 

ENSURE NO FURTHER DIRECT PHYSICAL INTERVENTION

INTO THE SOVEREIGNTY OF OTHER NATIONS.

Current NATO Countries and the Years They Joined:

Note: * indicates a founding member

Belgium	1949*		Luxembourg	1949*
Bulgaria	2004		Montenegro	2017

Italy	1949*		United Kingdom	1949*
Latvia	2004		United States	1949*

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ABOVE LIST, ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS:

- HOW MANY WERE FORCED BY MILITARY INVASION OR PHYSICAL INTIMIDATION

TO JOIN NATO? 

- SO NATO IS A THREAT TO RUSSIA? PERHAPS YOU CAN LIST FOR ME THE NUMBER OF

MEMBER  NATIONS THAT INVADED ANOTHER SOVEREIGN COUNTRY, AND SEIZED 

CONTROL OF ITS GOVERNMENT?

- HOW MANY OF THESE NATIONS SUFFERED THE TYRANNIES OF THE U.S.S.R,  NAZI

GERMANY, OR OTHER FASCIST REGIMES BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER WW2, AND WILL

CLAIM THAT THEY WERE COERCED INTO JOINING?

AT THE SAME TIME, THINK OF HOW OFTEN THESE COUNTRIES SUFFERED BECAUSE OF POLICIES AND AN AGENDA DIRECTED BY A HEAD OF STATE SITUATED IN MOSCOW?

...WHAT WILL THE EXCUSE BE WHEN PUTIN DECIDES TO PUT ANOTHER COUNTRY ON HIS SHOPPING LIST, AND LIES THROUGH HIS TEETH ABOUT HOW IT WAS NECESSARY TO INVADE, TO PROTECT RUSSIA?

I REALLY SUGGEST THAT PICKING UP A HISTORY BOOK MIGHT "ENLIGHTEN" SOME WORLD LEADERS AS TO WHAT COULD BE LOST, IF WE CHOOSE TO THINK THAT THE PUTINS AND TRUMPS OF THIS WORLD CAN BE TRUSTED.
