. Sixty Minutes was scary business. This morning I woke up anxious and wasn’t sure why. But it was anxiety caused by this
program. The video was pretty graphic
and descriptive. They said that Trump
could end up pardoning the rioters and perhaps himself before he leaves
office. This is a good reason for
impeachment right there. It’s a matter
of national security now. The other
thing is that we may well be living with a constitutional crisis. Instead of the army committing mutany it could
well be the president of the United States that’s guilty of mutany. These officers, high and low ranking, swear
an oath to the constitution and not personal loyal to the president, right or wrong. Thank God we have a disciplined military who
follows their conscience. These two
segments took up two thirds of the show. The third segment was on this heroic
and brave football player who suffered a severe injury with his leg and he had complicated
and extensive fractures. They put pins
and all sorts of stuff in his leg to keep it together. He didn’t want to have it amputated, which
was a real possibility. But through
sheer grit and a triumph of the human spirit he overcame all odds and now is
back playing football again, and it wasn’t that many years. But I think we have the right to fear for our
country the next several days. They underestimated
the severity of the planned disturbance.
These hate groups meant business and did elaborate planning and they
were out to win. They have never had
such a wide perimeter.

Will the President Stage a Mutiny Against His Own Military?

This Year- A Democratic US Senate
The great mystery of our time is how Donald Trump became such a bad loser and embarrased the country and disgraced himself. One of his final humiliations was the election of a democratic Senate in last Tuesday's special twin elections in Louisiana. Who would have guessed? I sure didn't. I thought the Republicans would win both of them. The Republicans didn't do half bad in November. They had to lose both of them and the Democrats had to win both of them- and they did. It was Trump's fault pure and simple. He made a fool out of himself as he has continued to do not only in the past month but his entire four year term. He challenged Biden's victory in Georgia and numerous other places and he lost every time, None of this is news but I have had health constraints that have delayed my bogging. I know I should have said all of this five days ago like everybody else out there. The President lost his magic if he ever had any to begin with, It's an irony that his prized book is "the art of the deal" because I wouldn't elect him for dog catcher. I sure don't trust him in any business deals. He just doesn't have the integrety needed to be a successful business man or salesman as I see it. He's a swindler and a cheat and worse yet just another blow-hard. He seems like the kind of guy nobody with any sense would listen to. So now Camille Harris will be running the US Senate. We have entered a new era in politics. This is the first time the democrats have controled all three centers of power since the first two years of the Obama administration and gives Biden hope for a better tomorrow. I hope Biden puts a lot of work into his inaugural address because everybody will be tuned in listening to it. Most speeches of Joe Biden seem pretty level headed and sensible- more so for that matter- then President Obama was.
Wednesday is another story. I don't think we need to repeat the bloody details of that one. It was an out of control right wing mob rampaging through the houses of congress. I lose track of how many people died in the malay. Was it one, or two, or four? Whether he should be impeached is a hot question right now. I just don't see how there is enough time. People don't want trump's button on the nuclear bomb one day more than necessary. We can't use the 25th Amendment because Vice President Pence won't go along with it and I doubt eight members of his cabinet will go along with this plan either. It's just ten days and what can happen in ten days? Or now I guess it's nine days. It shows that these Republicans are anarchists at heart. Maybe they always have been. They are like a soap opera character who does an emotional melt down on the spot and completely loses their objectives and goals in life except for the one thing they are obsessed with. Hopefully we will enter upon a new and peaceful era where real forward progress can be made at last. Some of you may be wondering at the question of the last eleven months or so. Do I believe President Trump has been forsaken by God. I know his fans don't think so. To them God never makes a mistake and there is a divine pan that gives God the glory in the end. It doesn't make sense to me but that's how they reason. The only way they can see themselves as losers is if they give up on God themselves. This idea above all would be unthinkable. Anyway that's about all I had to say now.
