If neither dominant party represents you, consider the Libertarian Party.

April 4, 2023

We all see current events as disruptive and consequential. Quite often these fears are false. However, I believe 4/4/23 will become a stake in the ground – a day of national consequence.

Legal Implications

The legal implications of President Trump's indictment are graver than the already existing overuse of federal law.

As the law MUST apply to everybody, it cannot be used to teach lessons or persecute political opponents. There will be a time when the other dominant party is "in control" …

45 and 46

The contrasts between the current President and previous President cannot be more striking. Our polemic public discourse is personified in these two men. This 50/50 nature of politics (it should be about governance …) cannot continue. Some relief is necessary. Just what is the heart and soul of the United States of America?  I believe we are about to find out.

Is there Biden Derangement Syndrone?  It is obvious that there was Trump Derangement Syndrome. Was there Obama Derangement Syndrome?  Was there Bush Derangement Syndrome?  Was there …

Those choosing to govern must elevate themselves from being "good" party members and consider what is in the best interests of the nation.

Emotion

I talk about governing with reason … demoting emotion. Everybody knows that "decisions" made amidst emotion almost always come out poorly; very few emotional decisions work out. Starting April 5, 2023, it is even more important to bring the issues of the day into the forum of reason – to evaluate issues and proposals solely with intellect.

Additionally, we must become dispassionate about both the current President and prior President. To have proper governance we must rationally debate and discuss the ideas. What idea is in the best interest of 332,000,000 fellow citizens?  Partisan or divisive ideologies do NOT serve We The People.

Prediction – 4/5/2023

The indictment of President Trump will drag on much longer than is necessary. There will be attempts to try him in the court of public opinion instead of the courtroom. This drama will run well into 2024.

In the end President Trump will NOT be convicted. The political divide will intensify in time for a national election. It will be ugly.

The Swamp's intention is to make witch hunts a political strategy. We The People must NOT accept this. That means rejecting emotion and anger, in addition to witch hunts. If we can do this, our vaunted republic will have proper political discourse.

I hope this prediction is wrong. But I'm NOT holding my breath.

Life, Liberty!, Property
