"THERE MUST BE JUSTICE"

  How correct a statement, how delayed its demand, its implementation. Who said this? Aha, bet you cannot guess. Right on - Trump himself. The meaning of the statement in simple terms is that we must have consequences when laws are broken. Absolutely correct. The only problem is that this man, deranged and dangerous, opened his mouth once more to insert said foot. However, this time, he put a decent man, a hero, in another mouth, the mouth of death, of 'vengeance' pursued when there is nothing to his ridiculous lie, yet on he goes.

Motor mouth claims that Babbitt, shot while participating in the attempted coup of Jan. 6, was "murdered". She was   "murdered at the hands of someone who should never have pulled the trigger of his gun," Trump said. "We know who he is. The Radical Left haters cannot be allowed to get away with this. There must be justice!" Once again, his careless - or are they so careless - words serve as instigation to once again engage in lawless behavior, in threats and actions inimical to the survival of this democracy of ours. Justice? Truly, if there were justice anymore within this country, he would have long ago been fitted for an orange jumpsuit.

There is no justice, seemingly, for DeSantis either. This fool is as dangerous, as future survival threatening, as he refused to do what must be done for his own Floridians to survive, to regain some measure of control over the raging pandemic. But no, for in his quest to run in 2024, he believes that emulating Trump will give him that chance. Really! Really? Will the nation fall for yet another stooge of obvious uncaring heart and soul, as he consigns fellow Americans to a painful death or illness with lingering effects? I think not. But meanwhile, where is the justice his master shouts for with forked tongue? Where is the justice for the record numbers of ill, dying, and dead Floridians? Where is the truth in his denial of the importance of mask mandate? Of the request for ventilators and breathing devices? I can only hope that those needing these aids are not denied them in a game of deadly chicken with the government. I hope and pray that officials realize that never mind who is wrong, people need this help. Send it and crow about it, complain about it, afterwards.

The shameful herd of GOP members follows Trump down the road to perdition, lockstep, even as we admire the infinitely higher class, much brighter herd. The elephants who found their way home, over thousands of miles, over all hindrances, through China, with their little calves, such a better, more intelligent herd than the one we have.

Back at the ranch, we read of changes. We are told not to post photos of the first day of school lest perverts see them. Duh!!! Who has not yet learned of the dangers of media, the threats to people from it. If you must post - leave out all data, censor the photos carefully. 

Furthermore, we read that Chris Cuomo is being hounded for being a brother to Andrew, mired in muck of his own making. We read of a photographer who questions, oh so righteously, whether or not he should turn over the rest of photos to the FBI, investigating the rebellion.  Now mind you, this righteous fella has already published a book with over 1,000 photos taken the same day, same place, same people, so what is this blowing of so much hot air? Does he need money to release them, for he has no leg to stand on. They are part and parcel of the same lot of photos already released to the public so why is he now playing holier than thou? Publicity perhaps?  How about we remind people of the right thing to do, the obligations we hold to protect the many?

The largest, pink elephant in the middle of the room size, still remains. When does Trump face justice? When does this ridiculous, shameful game of suit after suit on top of suit on top of other suits, suits suing other suits - it grows tired and shameful, particularly in the minds and eyes of the world and our own kids, seeing this farce of ours, how criminal behavior does not get punished if one is rich and powerful.

Yes, Trump, there must be justice indeed. We are all awaiting its arrival, delayed, but we hope still on the way, getting closer each day. We hope then to be able to rival the sheer joy of the little boy in Music Man who shouts out about the arrival of the Wells Fargo wagon. We await, with the same bated breath, the wagon of justice with the Lady of Justice holding the reins, once more in control.
