On gun violence Charlie Kirk

"I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational".– Event organized by TPUSA Faith, the religious arm of Kirk’s conservative group Turning Point USA, on 5 April 2023

Documented by Media Matters for America, a progressive non-profit that tracks conservative media. 

I believe that Murder is wrong. As an Independent, for me guns are abhorrent for the reason that they are made to kill things. People, animals, living beings which have a right to live. I used to have a gun, and when I heard someone trying to get into my home one night, I had the gun cocked and ready to defend myself. I called the police, and was relieved that they came before the intruder broke into my home. I have often wondered if I could have pulled the trigger. Alone, in a place with no other neighbors, and the nearest human was miles away, I was vulnerable. I will never know. Shortly there after, I turned the gun into the police station.

The gun violence in America is out of control. People will use guns and misuse them. Our ideas and our claims that our ideas are Right and the other is Wrong results sometimes to escalation where the end is killing someone or something. Killing is our entertainment, our pastime games, our calls out at sports events where people shout to kill the opponents. Some killing of people to Charlie Kirk was an OK way to have  the 2^nd amendment to protect our other rights. Would he have said this if he knew that it would turn out to be him?

For me, this is a sick way to view the second amendment. I believe that the 2^nd amendment was instituted to be a deterrent, not an advocacy to keep this right in place by killing people, and making it a foundation for the amendment to be there for protecting our other rights.                

I also believe that killing a magnificent deer is wrong. This beautiful living being, a wondrous stately animal is a being to be treasured not to kill. When people feel they have the right to kill such a beautiful animal, it desensitizes the person to the act of killing, and a living being has been taken from our Forrest of light and beauty.

Again, Murder is wrong.. Also, advocating that killing people is acceptable to have the 2^nd amendment is for protecting our rigths wrong. We must going forward find a way to think not in terms of I'm right, and you are wrong, and put these two words into the trash bin. Lets choose instead, words of..Consider the possibilities? These words could start a common human connection to both sides...

Perhaps, eliminating the words, Right and Left, conservative and liberal should also be rendered into the trash bin, maybe, labels are part of the problem because they are used to infer each other is dishonorable...so far, these words have not worked out very well for our Country.

I have read that our Founders were worried about the party system. They were correct...

President Donald Trump has publicly denied that he draws, but numerous examples of his sketches have been sold at auction over the years, many dating from his time as a New York real estate developer, the New York Times said on Friday.

Science and Truth are Foundational for America's Health

Finally,... Four State Governors stepped up and gave the finger to Trump and Kennedy about health care. “We will form an alliance to give our people good medical advice for vaccines and other health concerns”.

The members of this new club are Governor Green for Hawaii, Governor Newsom for California, Tina Kotec Governor for Oregon, and Robert Ferguson Governor for Washington.

I watched Governor Green of Hawaii talk last night of the imperative need for medical advice to be Science based.

As a physician, Governor Green leads with a background of what worked during the COVID pandemic. His state had the fewer deaths than most states in America. He was gracious about Kennedy and the concern about synthetic food dyes in our food, and thought maybe he could have a voice somewhere else in the administration. However for now with the seasons of flu and COVID ramping up, the need for Truth about vaccines needs to be addressed by Doctors and Scientists.

• The statue of General Espartero: A well-known Spanish idiom references the statue of General Espartero on his horse in Madrid. The statue's horse has famously large testicles, leading to the saying tienes mas cojones que el caballo de Espartero ("you have more balls than Espartero's horse") to praise someone's bravery.

In another life, Kennedy a 14 year heroin addict, would not be chosen for any position in a hospital, university, or scientific institution. But, our oval office occupant impotent for lacking critical thought, cannot or will not chose anyone qualified for the HHS position in his administration. Why is that? Recently he said of Kennedy, “ I like him because he is different” This is the reason we have a former drug addict as our Secretary of HHS. Yes he is different. He has no training in the medical sciences.

Several weeks ago, I advocated that the scientists which have been fired or have resigned to be relocated to the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences. Governor Green suggested this very idea last night that these good people having been ousted from the CDC and HSS could continue to do their research, in western states and produce new medical therapies and vaccines for the people in our four states and beyond.

People keep sending me emails for money for various political reasons, and I keep deleting them. However, if this new group sent me an email for donations, I would gladly send my contribution for the new “MedicalCojones Club".

The smallpox vaccine was discovered by Edward Jenner, an English physician, in 1796. He observed that milkmaids who had previously contracted cowpox, a mild disease, were immune to smallpox. Jenner inoculated a young boy, James Phipps, with cowpox pus, and Phipps later proved to be immune to smallpox. This discovery led to the development of the smallpox vaccine, which eventually led to the eradication of smallpox in 1980.

He is Three

His future ?

He is Three, this wondrous boy, my Great Grand Son. He is so full of life with smiles, hugs, and joy of life. What will his future be with the insane health policies being instituted by the Oval Occupant and His scyophant Robert Kennedy Jr. ?

This little boy who has such great expectations engendered by his family of which I am a proud far away Great Grand Mother. When I was his age, WWII had not yet started for the United States although the seeds were germinating. What is being planted in our Country now are seeds of our destruction. Just about every governmental agency is being hallowed out by incompetent people who are destroying their own departments. Why is the Congress not stopping this making America weak?

Yesterday Robert Kennedy Jr. answered questions about vaccines and why they have changed for the most vulnerable people the ability to access the life saving care that has been proven by science to save lives. Will my little GGS be able to have the normal vaccines when he goes to school ? Will his classmates? He lives far away from California which will have our own criteria for vaccinations as the western states have decided to form an autonomous group and not let the Federal Government tell us what to do.

Kennedy is a heron addict. He maybe clean now, but he undoubtedly has some brain damage for he has lost the ability to give intelligible answeres about the vaccines which for decades proven effective and saves lives. He doesn't seem to care about the future impacts his decisions will have on our present lives much less for the future for our children.

As I watched him, this bully of a man whose legacy will be one of stupid and untruthful answers about his polices which will kill people I was saddend. The current occupant in the Oval Office is responsible for over a million deaths during COVID. Will Kennedy have a similar legacy? Little children are dying from measles today since it was eliminated in 2000. Three Children have died. Hundreds have been hospitalized. 

What transpired today when he repeatedly lied because he was not under oath was a travesty. I wondered even if he had been under oath, would he have answered differently, I think not.

Meanwhile, more of our Nation's health agencies are being dismantled and scientists are being fired to be replaced with folks who will follow the stupid and unscientific new polices which will not make our Country safe from the coming health crises of the future.

I do have Hope. The little Boy I love so very well, will have his time in the sun. There are new technologies being born, and I have hope that these new ideas and industries will be bring truth and science to our great Nation.    

"Hope lies in dreams, in imagination and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality."

This man who was welcomed to the United States was treated as an honored guest. This man who has killed almost a half million Ukrainians. Little children, mothers, grandparents, doctors, civilians targeted for maximum damage to the spirit of the Ukrainians...was greeted by the oval occupant as a personal friend. 

As he walks down the red carpet, I see the carpet soaked in blood pooled under his shoes, tromping upon the broken lives of the children and all of the people he has killed in the last four years. The red stains his shoes, and I see the red glowing from his eyes as he peddles lies to his bamboozled host along this red blood sodden path of destruction and sorrow...

Is this who we are as a Nation? Seeing the leader of our Country act as though this guest is one who deserves the red carpet treatment of what is usually reserved for foreign leaders of merit. As our press members generate excitement for this event, they can't get enough pictures, shouting questions, and exuding wonderment at the whole show of the guest's importance on our world stage. Never a word about the nihilistic nature of this man who is killing Ukrainians even while here to shine his light of importance and most of all strength.

Why has the media given such credence to this Killer of Ukrainians? Where has the American attitude of virtue, honor, and truth gone? Why have the owners of our media both live and digital gone hiding and become impotent when confronted with such evil...? I can only wonder what Edward R Murrow would say... “good night and good luck” seems sadly lacking for the fighting spirit of our American Anthem...

This Man, this vile man should not be treated by our Country as an honored guest. He is the personification of evil. He will never consent to end the war. Only his death, can have an impact to end the killing. 

 

The Smirk Seen Round the World

It was only a fraction of a second...this face of a beast inside the Beast. This cunning smirk.* This indited war criminal, riding inside the Presidential limo called The Beast. What we see is beyond comprehension, this meeting between a convicted president of the United States of America and a War Criminal who has for the past four years killed thousands of Ukrainians. 

How can we accept a convicted felon clapping for a red carpet visitor who is the killer of Children, bombed hospitals, destroyer of cities, and while this meeting is on going, continuing to bomb the Country he considers to be part of Russia? And yet, the media says nothing, giving agency to these two people who care nothing about Ukraine, only what they personally can gain in power and monetary largess.

Yesterday, while engaged in a meeting with seven European presidents and diplomats, the occupant of the oval, steps away and speaks to his mentor for forty minutes. The puppet master needs to instruct his puppet how to deflect and reject a ceasefire in this war. The Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni was indeed aware of the compromised U.S. Occupant of the Oval...her look after her speech said it all.

This farce of our Country's leaders, the press, and the talking heads of cable, all have the unmitigated gall to give agency of normalcy to the two criminals in this untenable tale of a war which was started for no reason but to take one country's independence away and subsume this country into the beast of the Russian Bear.

THE NOBEL

PRIZE FOR PEACE

"There's no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day."

So saith Republican Senator Mitch McConnell. We all saw these events on January 6^th 2021. It was something like watching a Harrison Ford Movie, only it was real. These pictures were burned into our National memory like 9/11. Only this time, it was because a person who occupied the oval inspired and gave aid and comfort to the insurrection by doing nothing to stop the mayhem, just watched it unfold on TV. 

This man, who occupies the Oval thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. This is mind blowing to me, a person who inspires death and destruction because he lost a fairly won election. This is Peace? Violence on his own country, thugs, continuing cries for death of a Vice President. Why do the people of his cult think that this peaceful? They say to me that he told the crowd to “walk peacefully” to the capital and take back their Country. He also told them to “Fight like Hell”, and if you don't you wont have a County anymore...a very un-peaceful act for a sitting occupant of the Oval.

Yesterday the occupant of the Oval went on a journey, spending millions of tax payers dollars, to find a way to win the Nobel. The way was not to happen. Those of us who live with a truth of reality, knew that the result of the talks would be negative were not surprised. Mr Putten has a cred he has instituted for the War in Ukraine, “primary root causes”, which means, all of Ukraine will be part of Russia, and that imply that Russia's security concerns, including NATO expansion and the perceived threat from Ukraine, need to be addressed before a lasting peace can be achieved.

Mr Putin is KPG in his heart,  the means justify the ends...his intentions are not acknowledged by the occupant of the Oval. Does this occupant of the Oval not understand the mindset of Putin or does he not have the ability to understand? 

Would the Nobel committee bestow the Peace Prize upon a person who has committed a treasonous' act upon his own people? A good question. Google has sheds some light upon this question. Yasser Arafat's 1994 prize was also controversial due to his past association with terrorism, but he made efforts...

According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize shall be awarded to the person who in the preceding year "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

The phrase Promotion of Peace congresses means?

The term "peace congress" is applied to a meeting of diplomats to end specific wars by peace treaties, as well as to an international gathering convened to urge measures for preventing future wars. In today's consideration the criteria has greatly expanded with Human Rights becoming a significant element. In our own congress, he has generated only hate for the other, and to enhance his own power.

The concept of peace on which both Nobel’s will and the Nobel Committee’s practice are founded, is a moral concept. In our Nation's history there has never been a more immoral leader of America. His litany of immoral behaviors is long and well documented. His concept of Human Rights is vacant. All that he has done in the last 7 months is to tear apart the rights of his own countrymen and people internationally. The Epstein saga, the pardoning of the Jan.6^th of convicted felons, the exporting of U.S. Citizens to a foreign country, instilling haunting fear in our people of Color, bombing Iran, and most of all, destroying faith in our Constitution. 

He, a convicted felon, now seeks to be a peace maker. Will this effort paper over his past efforts to be the one to fix everything with his illegal, immoral, and self aggrandizing behavior which has wrought only painful consequences for thousands of people nationally and internationally be successful ?. In reviewing the past grants for the Nobel Peace Prize, the prize most revered, it seems to be an open question.

As McConnell said, he is morally responsible for an insurrection against our Country and Constitution.
