Before hate, let’s talk love. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Dorothy Ruth Hopper Kelly raised six children with her husband, Miles. I was the oldest. She did so during an extremely brutal period, World War II, when Miles was away much of the time and she essentially filled both roles. With the help of her sister, Hustie, she did an amazing job. I love you, Mom!
Now the bad part: The hatred of our president continues to grow. Recently, actor Mark Hamill, of Luke Skywalker fame, published a photoof Trump lying dead in a casket with the words “If Only”! Try as I might, I cannot comprehend the level of venom directed at a president who has accomplished so much during this term in office.
I saw a headline the other day which would have been humorous under other circumstances. It read; ”Congressman (deleted) who was endorsed by President Trump has been charged with spousal abuse”. The implication?
I am reasonably certain that Hamill will get a visit from the Secret Service if it hasn’t already occurred. I wonder how the actor would react to a published picture of him lying dead with the same phrase? I’m sure he’d be screaming “lawsuit”! Just another Hollywood phony.
Speaking of phonies, I’m hearing rumors that Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona might consider running for president in 2028. This is the same moron who published a request for military personnel to disobey “illegal” orders coming from above! This from a former military officer! My brother Marc Kelly, a former combat marine, is muttering in his grave . . .
Hate seems to be the watchword of the left. I’m encouraged to hate folks whose skin is a different color or who practice a different faith. I must support the termination of life while in the womb and protect the poor illegal alien who raped and murdered a citizen. And I’m compelled to look the other way when thieves ransack our government programs and laugh while doing it.
And cruelty isn’t limited to politics. Family issues also abound. I recently read an article which left me speechless. A caretaker brought a fourteen-year-old boy to the emergency room. Subsequent examination revealed horrific mistreatment suffered by the teen. Example: The average weight of a male that age is ninety-five pounds. This child weighed forty-five! He was also covered in numerous cuts and bruises and had difficulty communicating. Medical staff called police and the caretaker was taken into custody. Get this: While the boy was very malnourished, the caretaker was morbidly obese. A photo revealed a frame which would have difficulty fitting into the bed of a pickup truck!
Speaking of news, billionaire Ted Turner died a few days ago. He was a media icon having developed the first twenty-four-hour cable news channel, CNN in 1980. His third wife was actress Jane Fonda to whom he was married for ten years. He is also known for his philanthropic accomplishments and the fact that, for years, he was the largest private landholder in the United States and had an intense love of bison. He was eighty-seven.
The leftists took another hit when the Supreme Court of Virginia declared the latest gerrymandering attempt unconstitutional. If approved, it would nearly have eliminated GOP representation in Congress. As I’ve indicated previously, the Democrat Party is on life support. The midterms will indeed be interesting.
Lastly, President Trump has delivered on another promise: release of government documents regarding Unidentified Flying Objects which have previously been kept secret despite decades of demands for disclosure. I’ve always been a “sci-fi” nut and look forward to discovering the contents. On one trip to Arizona, we stopped in Roswell, New Mexico, the most famous site and I snapped a picture of the entrance.
Is there life out there. Have they visited? I have a strong feeling they have. I suspect that one visitor created the Democrat Party.
