IS HONESTY THE BEST POLICY?

   Seems a strange question, does it not, for does it not answer itself in the affirmative? We are not talking about little white lies, but lies conjured up to fool people, to change their souls, to rewrite and revamp history. So now, is honesty the best policy?
     Looking at today's world one would think that it is obviously a belief more honored in the breach than in the keeping. Leader after leader of nations all over the world, in global floods, are being ousted due to being caught in major lies, be they of sexual or financial behavior. Families of these leaders have been found to be tainted as well, as they enriched themselves at the public troughs at great damage and cost to the public.
     So now swing to North America, to the USA , and look around. The Justice Department, so important to be neutral, free to make the proper judicial calls and decisions is hammered by Trump, with judges being attacked and employees quitting in frustration as their efforts of honesty and openness are destroyed. State Department is the same thing as security experts are told to shut their mouths for the Demented One needs no advice other than his own fractured mind. 
     And at the top of the heap of all lies and illegalities, of robbing the people, right after their father, are the 'children' - Ivanka, Junior, and Eric. They go along, foster crooked deals, lie to the public, agree with the overcharging of the Secret Service for rooms in TRUMP HOTELS. Ivanka claims original authorship yet we all know it was a compendium of other people's words. She claims to be for women and rights and for child care, yet in that family it only means rights and care for the wealthy.
     So why would we expect others not to do the same. Trump makes a grand ffffft at his oh so not Great Deal of the Century and is already backtracking on it via Kushner, another great man in his own mind! The wheels on that bus are spinning top speed, ready to grind over Israel, and what, should I then say, triumphantly, I told you so!!! I would rather not, but this is what we have as the head of our country.
     We have one chance to save the country, to save what America is supposed to be, supposed to strive for. That chance is the election and finally, Klobuchar is getting the print and attention she deserves. She is real, steady, and honest. She knows what needs fixing andwill do so, especially if we keep the House and gain the Senate, push out the hypocritical cowards, including  Cheney, and go forward in a humanistic and rational manner.
     Most importantly, I believe that she values honesty and what a breath of fresh air that is and will continue to be. Knowing the truth. Knowing that we are America again. Knowing that we are on the right path and can honestly face an honest future, an honest return to American values, no more roundups of people, no more cheating and lies from the White House, and perhaps, even an injection of honesty and moral values into the remaining Republican members of our government. Perhaps. What a dream. What a wonderful reality - I hope. Then you and I and all of us can sing full throated a Star Spangled Banner and pledge Allegance in all honesty, faith, hope, Americaness. I cannot wait.
