No Post- Stop the Violence

A right wing American political activist, author and media personality was gunned down at an event today. Political violence is never ok. No blog today (blog is on Monday-Friday minus holidays). No person ever deserves to be gunned down due to their political beliefs. It is not ok.

Trump Responsible for the Government Shutdown- Tell Republicans Not To Talk to Democrats

So the federal government ran out of money to function. What was Trump's role in all of this as leader of the nation? Donald Trump said, "Don't even bother with Democrats when it comes to talking about a budget." The shutdown is on his shoulders . The looming shutdown had Democrats in Congress meeting, while the Republicans took a vacation . You can't make this stuff up. Acting like a five year old throwing a temper tantrum and "taking your ball home" is not leadership. This childishness must stop.

Muhammed Ali- My Inspiration

Image
I have an autographed, framed picture of boxer Muhammad Ali in my Fort Worth office. Why, might you ask? Ali was the first boxer to win the heavyweight championship three times, won the Olympic gold medal, and was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated. More than this, he was a good man.

Trump Threatens Members of Congress with Death

Image
President Donald Trump threatened U.S. Rep. Jason Crow and other Democratic members of Congress with arrest and execution for a video produced reminding members of the military and intelligence community to refuse illegal orders from the Trump administration. Here is the video . In response to this video, Trump wrote on Truth Social: "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" This is outrageous behavior. From a legal perspective, these folks are reminding government employees they cannot comply with an illegal order. They must follow the law. Trump sees this as treason. It is not. The President does not have the legal authority to tell people to break the law just because he is the Chief Executive of the Executive Branch. No one is above the law in the United States. Trump has gotten away with breaking the law to the point of abandon. His orders to demolish boats with countries we are not at war with, claiming they have drugs, is illegal. He and those carrying out the...
