Skimming through the news at 3AM is not conducive to anything but a great big sigh. One wonders when the road to hell took a shortcut through the highways and byways of America; moreover, why did so many clamber aboard the vehicles traveling that path, eagerly, full speed ahead, eyes and minds closed to any redemptive activities and thoughts. Wish I knew the answers, for then I would be able to craft a cure-all for the malaise that has infected and infested the very air of the USA.
So I sigh. How many more years will it take to clear the air of the lies that abound, proliferate at a disastrous unstoppable rate. Can we even do that? The rot that has been exposed runs so deeply into the very foundations of the country, rocking it, destabilizing it, perhaps already at the point of no return. 15 states away from a forced convention to Amend the US Constitution, to rewrite it. You read correctly. Now, given the atmosphere of today's politics, just how far away are we truly from a constitution rewrite which will engender a change so drastic, so earth shattering that its effects cannot truly be understood, in ramifications for mankind such as we have not seen since forever. A crashing end to the greatest experiment of mankind. Too awful to contemplate. And yet, here we are. Steps away from undoing the "shot heard round the world". Sigh.
I am tired. I despair. I am angry. So are many people. Can we harness this anger, to fight the evil that is nigh upon us? How do we undo the decades long plans of extremist GOP members who eagerly bought into the long-term plan to reshape this country, to undermine the judiciary, to turn its impartiality into a massive partisan entity? To subvert members of the highest branch of the legislative framework, down to the smallest town council. Most unsettling, how the hell did we ever allow a mad character, open to any and everything, even treason, to become President and change this country perhaps forever. Not in a good way at all.

There are some good, brave people out there who are willing to take up the battle, to face down the enemy. Are there enough? Is there enough staying power, realistic ability to change the ever-worsening reality we face? Can they maintain the fight, the struggle, against this most despair inducing situation in the face of such a massive, well planned and plotted coup? And yes, coup it was. And is. And will be. Unless and until we put an end to it all.
Still, there remains certain niggling factors in my mind. How is it, that despite the fact that there are two GOP members on the J6 committee, there are still lockstep votes wherein the entire GOP body votes lockstep - and that must include these two. So, in the face of their bravery, their strong statements at the hearing sessions, at news events, where are their anti-votes to the obstructive and destructive policies of present-day GOP? Where?
Double SIGH.
We killed Zawahari. 21 years after the facts. Great, but what does it matter in the long run? What does it matter in light of the issue we now face - the very survival of this country, indeed, of this world?
Maybe we should all be able to close off segments of our mind and wax eloquent, victoriously, over the success in renting a full day cabana at a Disney water park for the mere sum of $365. After waiting three hours on the phone to do so. And not to include the huge cost of entry into the park so they could actually reach their cabana!
My head is shaking of its own volition. I hear a background continuous sound and finally realize that is the sound of a continuous sigh, one heard round the world by all thinking, concerned, democracy supporters. That, in and of itself, is sigh inducing.
