I haven’t written much the last two weeks because I have been completely irritated with the US. Everyone is angry, including myself. Our government is completely out of control.

Watching America is like watching an abusive relationship unfold.
The first thing I usually hear people say after a wife, child, or even husband is finally murdered by an abuser is, “Why didn’t she (or he) just leave?” Well, because it’s not that simple and straightforward.

December 8th, is the official Presidential election result. Biden-Harris/Trump
I voted for Trump for a variety of reasons. I thought he had a good chance of winning, but I’m not surprised that he appears to have lost. I say appears because there are some ballot issues and I don’t think he is done fighting.

Divided America: Good cannot unite with evil.
Divided countries fall while united countries stand or erupt into civil war. The problem with uniting Americans is the belief that this is a fight of good versus evil.
