The Longest 30 Days...

At the rate we are going. where will we be in 30 days? The desperation, the deceptions, the lies, the conspiracy theories will only intensify, I am sure.

I cannot imagine America going thru an election that is fair and free and accepted by all Parties. Unless Trump wins, we know he is not going to accept the results. So, in my opinion, Joe Biden should start preparing the National Guard today, in order to protect our democracy and our rule of law. We cannot tolerate another treasonous act like January 6th, 2021.

Let us hope we can remain civil and humane and not resort to the violence and depravity of Donald John Trump.

What Trump demands is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.

Let’s be clear about what he wants. He wants to not only to win the popular vote, but to be proclaimed unanimously the greatest who’s ever been.

So, the struggle to come is baked in. It’s been allowed to go too far to avoid.

We must be brave and determined. Standing up for what’s true, just, and needed.
