THANKSGIVING DAY

   My plan for today was to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving and to be careful if driving anywhere, to remember to avoid confrontation both on the roads and at the table. But life intervenes and I simply cannot ignore some things that took place or that were revealed.
     So we now have a president to be who is what, too busy to get his daily intelligence briefings. Is it because he lacks the intelligence to understand the contents or is it that he simply does not care at all or better yet, will call upon his princelings and princess to be to go and mediate and talk, just as Junior did with the Syrians and the Russians. So I ask all of you, especially those of you who voted for this farce of a leader - did you also vote in his family as part and parcel of the ruling dynamic in America? Woe upon us all.
     Sean Hannity has taken to Twitter, the new fount of all that is Trump and called for a ban on basically all media outlets other than Fox News. And here we go with the censorship threats and the ridiculous use of Twitter as a quasi official outlet for this administration.
     Mitt Romney is opposed as a potential Secretary of State by Huckabee and Gingrich- a paragon of virtue - because he made some hones t statements that actually are true. He challenged Trump on his character, his honor and his honesty and how right he was. This Trump is a man without honor, substituting greed instead and concentrated on his main business of his businesses, thwarting and ignoring all ethics and laws regarding this an leaving the running of the country with its foreign entanglements to his children.
     Well, I for one want no part of this and hate to be the Cassandra crying out with warnings or the prophets of the Bible who warned the people what was coming, and being neither Cassandra nor a prophet, but only one worried person - I worry for the state of our country and the state of the world under this man. I worry for us as individuals as we have lost the art of conversation and cannot talk to each other over this divide and this man has done nothing to ease that but instead has exacerbated the whole issue.
     So enjoy this Day, enjoy the family and ban politics as a topic of the table or the living room and just think and wonder how we got here. And let us resolve to do better and watch this guy like millions of hawks, waiting and watching and jumping at the opportunity to impeach. Let us make sure that the American Dream remains true and we have it to be thankful for next year too.
