IF YOU’RE LEANING TOWARDS VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP IN NOVEMBER, PERHAPS YOU NEED TO STEP BACK. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.
Trump has proven he’s not fit to manage the presidency in times of a majpr crisis. Consider his shameful performance during the worldwide COVID pandemic. Scientific American gave Trump a blistering review in March of 2021, in which they said:
“Faced with the pandemic, Trump suppressed scientific data, delayed testing, mocked and blocked mask-wearing, and convened mass gatherings where social distancing was impossible. Despite the mounting threats of COVID-19 and global warming, he pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accord. He installed industry insiders in regulatory posts tasked with protecting Americans from environmental and occupational hazards; their regulatory rollbacks resulted in 22,000 excess deaths from such hazards in 2019 alone. He pushed through a $1.9 trillion tax cut for the wealthy, creating a budget hole that he then used to justify cutting food and housing assistance for the needy. He tried, but failed, to repeal the ACA (Afordable Care Act), then bent every effort to undermine it, pushing up the number of uninsured Americans by 2.3 million.”
Additionally, in comparing US deaths from COVID, a commission sponsored by Lancet, a British medical Journal, reported the U.S. had 40% higher number of deaths per capita compared with other high-income, industrialized countries. With over 1 million recorded deaths from COVID-19, that means over 400,000 Americans paid the price for Trump’s inept management of the crisis.
If you don’t think his shameful pandemic performance disqualifies Trump from ever holding office again, watch this space for other, equally compelling reasons.
Something is happening right now that most pundits and observers of political events are not equipped to see.
Let’s call it Hurricane Kamala.
These visually impaired experts have been trained to analyze and predict the movement of forces by relating those movements to similar happenings in the past.
But they’ve never seen anything like Hurricane Kamala.
Hurricane Kamala is something rarely seen in our lives. Nothing less than a wave of energy sent to restore balance and justice to our nation, and to the planet. The more one tries to define or explain this powerful and energetic cleansing wave, the less it makes any sense. But so it is with language whenever it reaches beyond its grasp to explain phenomena more spiritual than physical.
Nothing the experts might study outside of religious texts could compare to the political storm now gaining strength across our country. A storm that provides glimpses of its fierce implacable force whenever Kamala touches down to connect with Americans.
Yes, the pundits can see these riotous throngs of Americans, starved for honest talk and unbridled hope, flocking to Kamala’s rallies; especially relieved that their fallen warrior has been replaced by a fighter just as zealous and decent and capable. But what they can’t see is that this is a phenomenon unlike any other they have previously witnessed or read about. Which is why they continue to predict, against any evidence to the contrary, that the wild, arena-shaking, earth-quaking enthusiasm and joy Kamala has inspired will inevitably break, like a fever run its course, once the initial honeymoon period has subsided.
What they have yet to learn, or to understand, is that the forces that gave rise to Hurricane Kamala will not subside once the news cycle ends, the excitement dies down or some barometric condition shifts.
Nor will the storm finally cease its violent stirrings until it chases away and rigorously cleanses every trace of the threatening shadow Donald J. Trump has cast across the American landscape.
And Jesus went to the desert, looked across the sea of angry American faces and spoke of truths both ancient and new.
Raising his arms, Jesus declared, “You have heard it said by our Master In Mar-A-Lago, ‘You shall tolerate your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ Let me add that you must first learn to which political party your enemies belong. ONLY then are you fully prepared to hate your enemy, and to also bear false witness, if the opportunity arises” Jesus concluded.
“And who are these enemies of yours?” Jesus queried, his arms reaching out to ask the question. “Now listen carefully,” Jesus charged the crowd, “Your enemies are those whose skin color is different from yours. And those who speak in a different tongue than you. And, especially, those who worship a god other than our Master In Mar-A-Lago. For your Father in Heaven would not have made your enemies seem strangely different from you if He hadn’t meant for them to be easily identified, even from a distance.
“You have heard that I said, “It is better to love your enemies than to hate them, better to bless those who curse you, and to forgive those who persecute you.”
Let me state unequivocally that those purported words of mine were falsely attributed to me in a fake news newspaper story. What I actually said was, “It is better to deport your enemies than to have them living in a house near yours, where they can burgle your treasures and rape your daughters.” And I also said, “it is better to lock them up than allow them to take your low caste jobs. So much better to let their families starve or go homeless than to tie up welfare funds real Americans might some day need.
“Talk to us about abortions!” a voice called from the crowd.
“Gladly!” Jesus replied, bending down to pick up a stone. He called to a nearby disciple and beckoned him to bring a basket forward.
“Take this rock,” He charged His disciple, dropping his stone into the basket. Continuing, Jesus instructed the crowd, “Let my stone multiply in huge numbers so that we have enough rocks to arm each and every angry American. Now all of us clean, respectable Republican males should find a woman, or a clutch of women, whose lifestyle and life choices we abominate and reject as ungodly.”
“He that is most pious among you, let him be blessed to cast the first stone,” Jesus called as his disciples distributed the multitudes of rocks among the crowd. “And remember, it is no sin to wound or fully disable a Democrat.
“You have heard it said that your Father In Heaven makes His sun to rise on the good as well as the evil, and sends rain to the just and unjust alike. That is true, my children, but He never meant for the sun to shine its beneficence down on illegal aliens residing on OUR side of the border.“
Jesus beckoned the two cameras to move in for a tight closeup, as he explained, furrowing his brow: “Remember, there is only so much love and forbearance to go around. If you spend all your love on those who don’t belong in our country, what reward will remain once they have eaten all your bread, taken every job, slept with all your children, robbed you in your sleep and sent for the rest of their family that remained back in Juarez?
“No, no,” Jesus exclaimed. “that just won’t do!
“Reserve your love and comfort,” he suggested, “for those with whom you do business, as well as for those you consider brethren and friends.
“Therefore, I say unto you, you shall be rich and comfortable, just as your Master In Mar-A-Lago means you to be.”
