What better democratic process is there than forcing one of our representative legislative bodies to do their jobs? "Robert's Rules of Order" may survive in House protocol, but doing the right thing no longer is in vogue. Now it's extremism substituting shock value for integrity. What' integrity? Without God and and some tenet of religion and spirituality, we don't know thus our "Conditions of America." Lies are the protocol. The Media is doing a poor job objectively of reporting the news, because they have been tainted by this nefarious substitution of Extremism over truth and integrity. The news is biased, and because they no longer by law are required to report on equal sides of an issue, biased opinion is paramount. Lester Holt's says it each night, and it is getting worse. Blatantly he said prosecuting Donald Trump would "Tear the nation apart." This was speculation and opinion, and it would be thrown out by a judge in a court of law. (unless of course it was a Trump appointed judge, wherein they are on the take) Mob tactics were ushered into Washington, DC by Donald Trump. He may not be the first, but Mob tactics are proving to be grievous and influential threatening our freedom and our democracy. What's the deal? If Kevin McCarthy doesn't merit the votes to elect him Speaker of the House, then legislative process requires finding a new candidate. The GOP is in tatters, and Kevin McCarthy now is its metaphor. We see it in full bloom visibly inhibiting our legislative process and preventing the functioning of our federal government. The GOP must do their jobs. If your candidate is not deemed worthy of leading the House, then you must select a new candidate! Matt Gaetz voted for Donald Trump, and he is not a house member. ? The GOP is not qualified to lead the House or the nation, and a violent attempted coup on the Capital seems like a television show. Kevin McCarthy supports it. Should he be elected as Speaker of the House? The House says, "No!" "Meanwhile," in the ephemeral words of Stephen Colbert, of whom I no longer can watch, because my over-the-air television is so limited, America is fighting a proxy war with Russia. Shall we discuss this? Does anyone care that the United States is fighting Vladimir Putin? Does anyone care that World War lll has begun and is operating incognito? Our attention has moved from the natural resources of Afghanistan (poppies) to the natural resources of Ukraine. It is a prudent switch considering the amount of products produced in Ukraine. "Drugs are bad," but these military planes keep making drops. A three state trek along the Atlantic ocean, a little touch-and-go in sunny La Florida, and back to home base. Is it the Mob? "Meanwhile," the railroads are raking in cash hauling munitions to Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point. (and other more lucrative cargo) Why does a Mexican Conglomerate own a polyester plastics plant on the Cape Fear River serviced by three different railroads? It's a logistical Mecca! Man, business as usual and no one notices, and the drug problem continues. The murdering of ten thousand American teens by fentanyl deserves priority in a country who can't even remember what "the right thing" is.
