...and the decision is made


 People are Monday morning quarterbacking. The haters who can't get enough of the moment are hunting for more red meat. The hypocrites who pushed him out are celebrating behind closed doors. And very few have even stopped to consider the weight this decision had on the man behind the Office of the President of the United States of America.

Like many aging championship boxers in history, the last thing to go is the heart. And Joe was full of heart.

Maybe the right decision for the Democratic Party was to ask him to step aside. But in my opinion, that decision will not attract many undecided voters.

Voters who now have proof the Republican position that the Democratic Party, the party of the Elites, will throw anyone under the bus if that person gets in their way. That the American people aren't to be trusted with the decision of who they want to lead via their Constitutional right to vote.

It happened the last two elections with the incredibly popular candidate, Bernie Sanders, who the elitist establishment didn't deem sufficiently loyal to their dogma or controllable in his messaging. Instead they went with bristly candidates like Hillary Clinton who were unpopular at the time, and rammed them down the Peoples' throats whether they liked it or not. Now it's occurred again. The elites decided, not the People. They forced a candidate down Democrats' throats and then called anyone who didn't toe the party line disloyal.

The pressure placed on President Biden wasn't about the presidency. It was about the DNC, Congressional and state level Democrats putting their best interests ahead of the People. Their assessment was Smokin' Joe was in their way. And what matters most to elected officials in high office, is to win. Not the People.

A temporary rise in popularity behind VP Harris is underway; the "I'm With Her" movement. The question is whether that surge holds for the next few months until the DNC convention. I wish her well. But I am not convinced it will. 

My observation is the puppet masters of the party are already considering what will inevitably be a disorderly mess of an open convention with a hope the winner ends up gaining the full support of every Democrat and many undecided voters in the few weeks left just prior to the election. 

I don't believe that support will materialize, as many stakeholder interests and factions sit under the Democrat umbrella; many at polar competing ideologies on what the Party should look like moving forward.

Love or hate the Republican Party, they stand behind their man. If they desire, they can just sit back and watch the Democrat clown show for the next 100 days. 

They won't. But they have the choice.

The Republican party has all the momentum. It has record numbers of black and brown people supporting it. It has undecided voters intrigued. And it has 100 days to woo others.

Will the Democrats pull off a miracle? Or is the Trump train's next stop the Oval Office? Time will tell.

Two final thoughts.

The PEOPLE should decide this election, not the elites. If they choose former President Trump, then he will be THE President of the United States. Cry all you want about it on Facebook and Twitter. And if as a Democrat you don't accept him as your president, then you're the very thing you think of the Republican party when they say your Democratic President isn't theirs. You've lost the moral high-ground you think you own.

If the PEOPLE choose whoever the Democratic party nominates, then he or she will be THE President of the United States of America. Cry all you want about it on Facebook and Twitter. And if as a Republican you don't accept him or her as your President, then you're the very thing you think of the Democratic party when they say your Republican President isn't theirs. You've lost your conservative "values" and your moral standing that you represent the everyday blue-collar, tax-paying American.

I think President Biden is a good man. A  good man who gave his entire life for the Party and the People. He didn't deserve the pressure campaign, but he got it. The elites got what they wanted. They kicked him to the curb. All that's left to see is if their little bet pays off.

Thanks Joe.

The Hereafter

The last 30 days have been a little difficult for my circle of friends. As life goes on unpredictable as always, my circle of friends have seemingly lost more friends, coworkers, and family members than I remember in recent memory and it has me thinking. A friend of mine posted a recent article by renowned physicist Stephen Hawking balking at the idea of a hereafter as a fairy tale for those afraid of the dark. Please know this blog is not about telling you what to believe. As I read the comments folks left about the article, it dawned on me that regardless of what each of us thinks, one thing is certain; every one of is going to find out the answer to the question of whether a hereafter exists or not.; every single one of us. If nothing exists, well then we won't have a whole lot of pondering to do on the idea since we won't be in a hereafter to ponder or do anything else. But if it does, there might be some "explaining" to do. I don't know what will happen wh

Sorry About That, Mom

Mom,   From where you sit today, perched above the heavens, chances are you already know the things I did which weren't the "best" as a child. So I'd just like to publicly apologize on this special day when I honor you, my beautiful mother, and all mothers out there. Here's a list, not a complete list because the years have been long and the brain cells don't work as well as they once did. But here's my confession: 1. I didn't mean to, but I sat on the parakeet. I let him out to play with him when you weren't home and he got lost. I sat down to think about where he could be and low-and-behold, I found him, squished under me. I put him back in the cage and hoped you'd think he died a natural death. 2. Remember when the power went out in the house and right before it you heard a loud explosion coming from my bedroom? Science experiment to gain superpowers gone wrong. 3. That toilet that overflowed into the hallway, well the truth is it wasn

Season of Learning

Well the summer's officially over. Tomorrow the last of America's students go back to school, mine included. Its been a great summer but there is always something uplifting about this time of year for me. Maybe its that I somehow live vicariously through my kids and can remember the butterflies in my stomach at the thought of walking through those school doors for another year of adventure. Although to them, the butterflies are more about how good they'll look and if the chics will dig em (which is probably what I was thinking at their age). I might be dating myself by the very comment I just made. Haha. Hey, what can I say, I've been cool, hot, fresh, and ill, and at various times of my life, those were proud monikers. With the new school year, I as a parent know that past the social dynamics of high school and middle school, my sons are in for a year of learning and that to me is really cool. I've been a lifelong learner as an adult. As a high school student, I
