As I begin to compose this masterpiece, my thoughts return some six decades to my time in Germany while in the army. May Day was Communist Day and the streets of Stuttgart were filled with boisterous commies. We military personnel were strongly advised to stay on post. If we chose to leave, we were ordered not to do so in uniform. I can’t recall whether I ever did so.
All of that returned as I witnessed crowds gathering in various cities here to protest the efforts of the current administration. What I wasn’t prepared to learn was the fact that many schools were closed so that our leftist teaching profession could participate and encourage students of all ages to attend.
I started teaching high school English and history at the ripe old age of twenty-one in 1959. I did so for several years before moving on. At that time, the focus was on the basics. Students learned those things which would be required to live in a sane society: English to communicate, history to avoid pitfalls occurring in the past, science to comprehend our surroundings. Today, none of that matters. What does matter is the socialist agenda. Cursive writing? What is that? And who cares?
Socialism and communism vary only mildly and both have never worked in previous decades. Private property and individualism are ignored for the sake of the working class. The extremely wealthy are the enemy. What is ignored is the fact that both socialism and communism require funding. And who provides the required funding? What isn’t common knowledge is the fact that it is the wealthy who pay over forty percent (40%) of all taxes. We are being taken over by a philosophy which has never been successful. Look at New York City.
Former FBI director Jim Comey has been indicted . . . again. If anyone ever deserved indictment it is Comey and his cohorts who engineered the Russian collusion fiasco. While strolling on the beach, Comey allegedly found seashells spelling out “8647”. “It isn’t working so we’ll 86 it,” is an old expression for getting rid of something. And 47 relates to Trump’s position in the presidency. No one believes, of course, that washed-up seashells can spell, and Comey insists that he was not familiar with term 86, which is ridiculous.
The indictment is justified. In addition to “8647”, there is numerous evidence that Comey was deeply involved with the “Russia Collusion” and that he passed classified data to the press via a close friend and kept other classified information in his home! Whether said indictment will result in criminal conviction depends on which jurisdiction the trial takes place. I am convinced that there are others who will be indicted.
On another front, I am horrified by the number of mass shootings which are taking place in the country. It seems like there is one almost daily and many are familial or social. The obvious question is: “why is this happening? The left will be very quick to blame guns as they always do; however, the old adage still applies. Guns don’t kill, people kill people. How does one cope with anger and hate? Candidly, I believe the lamestream media must share responsibility.
Another shooting incident occurred at the Washington Monument just days ago. The shooter was shot when he drew a weapon as Secret Service agents approached him because their sensors indicated a concealed weapon. While he was being transported to the hospital he continued to spew disparaging comments about the White House and its occupants. He did not mention a specific target.
As I’ve stated ad nauseam, I will never understand the level of hate directed at a president who has accomplished so much during his terms of office, all of it positive. Possibly I should sit down with an extreme leftist and inquire as to why the hatred is so extreme. Then, again, it would more than likely wind up in a fistfight.
I have absolutely no doubt how history will portray Donald Trump and the left will not be pleased.
