1825? SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD YEAR?

     Civil rights? The rights to a better education? The right to protect the consumers, the workers? The right to revoke and rescind all civil rights and prevent any settlements made from becoming law and setting precedents? And just add to that the money that Trump wishes to return to banks that will not "trickle down" but would rather go to the shareholders and we all know that. Making for a great vintage year, does it not and then just add to that the increased and more vocal demand from the Republicans to loosen the gun laws. Duel at the Capitol at Noon? A new picture?
     It seems that despite all the hullabaloo made about the travel ban and the immigration stalkings, that ICE is proceeding apace and made a deal with Iraq to corral and send home immigrants here, mostly being Chaldean Catholics. Many of these people are kids who were brought here as young children and who do not even speak the language any longer. Some have committed crimes but when and are they hardened criminals? Do they deserve a death sentence for evidently ICE and Trump seem to be blind about the discrimination against and the killing or rather slaughter of Christians of all sects in Iraq.
     There is a verse in Leviticus that states "You shall not stand idly by the blood of your fellow human being" (Chapter 19 verse 16). Are we going to stand around while people are consigned to the dust heap of the world. Are we going to ignore the fact that death sentences are not only being passed on the immigrants but also upon standard good old Americans who happen to be needy, are poor, are in poor health, have low paying or no jobs at all, no retraining, are aged, alone and now we have the oh so astute appointment of an old crony of Trump's, a party planner, a liar who claims a law degree from a school which says it has no record of her ever being granted this degree, and now she has been given the authority over the billions of dollars involved in the NY metropolitan area for housing. Wow!! His appointments get worse and worse and we are the losers because of them.
     We are responsible for our fellow man and by the way, that includes women as well for the rights of women seem to be trampled upon by Trump and his crew ever more so on a daily basis. This morning we even find out that the policy found in DAPA, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, has been cancelled. So less protection for these "terrible" immigrants and parents of legally American citizens. Just about what is expected from a heartless and soulless administration. And lookee here - Trump has just now changed his tune and says he will allow the Dreamers to stay. For how long will this stand?
    ".... to investigate Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election — and any "collusion" with the Trump campaign — his assignment also includes "any matters that arose or may arise” from the Russia probe."
     This is the assignment and responsibility given to Robert Mueller and his assembled staff, a very capable crew, to do. Evidently Trump does not appreciate this and is ranting and raving over the "witch hunt" he is suffering. Truly!! He is vehemently stating that there is nothing there and should not be subjected to a charge of obstruction of justice. Now we read that Jared Kushner is being investigated by Mueller for his role in this whole abominable mess. In the meanwhile, Trump seems to think that his position as President puts him above the law, as he does with his ethics violations, his business conflicts and anything else his tiny and mean heart desires. He will find out otherwise but then the question is raised and what, we get Pence? Oy vey!! But then again, maybe the Republicans and the Trump worshippers will have finally learned that Trump is not only naked, but is also dangerous to life and limb to our country, the world and all within, even our very planet.
     In any case, I like living in today's times with all that I hold dear and 1825 and its outlooks of that time are not attractive at all. The question is - why do these others find it indeed attractive and why are they trying so hard to drag us all back there? Sniff, sniff. Smell anything, folks?
