In his first 6 weeks in office, Donald Trump is doing everything he can to weaken the watchdog agencies who investigate fraud. The SEC, FTC, and Inspector General’s office any and all. He campaigned on cleaning up the swamp. Well if he meant by the swamp was the safeguards against corruption, he is keeping his promise.
I was directed to Being Mortal by my son. Shortly after his mother passed he asked me to read the book so I could prepare myself and him for what will eventual come for me.
As Dr. Gawande points out we are all mortal beings. He is a surgeon who was trained to treat illness and frailty and fight for life to the bitter end. His thoughts on seeing terminal ill suffer have led him to believe the medical community in many ways is failing the terminally ill. He has several suggestions on how to improve the quality of life for those of us dealing with our end of life issues.
One of his major points is helping determine what is important to the individual at the end of their life. I write this blog as a reference for my son, so he can make decisions based on my desires. To start, I am currently in relatively good health and of a sound mind.
For decades liberals have not spoken up because they don’t want to argue. My question is how is that working out! The answer is we now have Donald Trump as our president. In a vacuum the one who speaks loudest wins. We cannot be silent any longer. We must speak up and remain true to our ideals.

No one, not even the President is above the law. That axiom was part of our schooling. The recent Supreme Court ruling giving the President partial immunity is contrary to this axiom.
Donald Trump is a bully.
Plain and simple. He vilifies those who disagree. Threats are his main tool and many of his legions of supporters are white supremacist. I consider Trump an elitist using his rhetoric to fire up his followers. Donald Trump isn’t about service. He is about collecting gold.
From March 16 to April 5th there have been 27 mass shootings in this country. In a mass shooting, 4 or more individuals are injured. These incidents included 22 deaths.
I see divisions between people and countries widening. This is not a solution, but a sure way to create conflict. I see a world where the cycle of violence increases and my goal and mission in life goes unheeded.
In truth everyone wants shelter from the elements, enough food for themselves and loved ones, good health. and can live without fear.
But a choice between a person with limited mental acuity versus one who is morally bankrupt is simple. I’ll pick Joe Biden’s memory over Donald Trump’s morals all the time.
