slip sliding away

slip sliding away.....

the you know the nearer your destination

the more you're slip sliding away  (Paul Simon)


The circus trial and conviction of Donald Trump will have a rippling effect on the American brand that will be felt for a very long time. We are the central American banana Republic that we used to laugh about....a land where dictators rewrite the laws and use judges to imprison their opponents.

Statute of limitations expired ?  extend them

Alleged offenses are misdemeanors ?  upgrade them to felonies.

Defendant has the right to know the charges ?  not today.

there is a laundry list of grievances which will be grounds for appeal , but that will come after the election. The here and now is that the demonrats entire campaign will now be focused on labeling Donald Trump as a convicted felon.....i think it will backfire......the two sides are well drawn.....very few people will ever switch sides......this is and really has been a battle for the independent voters in the swing states.....i think those people are waking up today and may be very concerned about the precedent set yesterday.....November will be an opportunity to say NO to this slide to irrelevance.

The US Flag is not to be flown upside down EXCEPT as a signal of dire distress in instance of extreme danger to life or property....that to me sums up the past 3 1/2 years.....but even if you disagree...that opinion falls under free speech....we can agree to disagree......in any event the Flag code is not enforceable.......if it offends you that's okay......i'm offended by BLM and Palestinian Flags....

research shows that the Appeal to Heaven flag was designed by Colonel Joseph Reed, who served as the personal secretary to George Washington. Originally commissioned for use on six military cruiser ships, the flag was adopted on October 21, 1775. It became the official Massachusetts navy flag in 1776. In 1968 it was featured on a US postage stamp. 

Unlike the Swastika in Germany, the Appeal to Heaven flag has not been outlawed or banned (yet). The problem is that some of the Jan 6 peaceful demonstrators carried the flag, and so the left has tried to recategorize the flag as a symbol of  extremism and white supremacy. Is this different than labeling fans of a sports team as criminals because the local street gangs wear NFL merchandise ?

Congress has authorized Billions to our ally Israel in their war with Hamas, but Joe biden has witheld precision bombs in an effort to appease the arab left of the democrat party. election interference anyone?

Congress has also authorized Billions to our ally Ukraine in their war with our rival Russia, but Joe biden has told the Ukraine they do not have "permission" to fire these weapons in areas where Russian troops are assembled ( i wish i was kidding)

if these are not examples of a nation in decline then i do not know what is........2+3=BEEER


God only knowsGod makes his planThe information's unavailableTo the mortal manWe work our jobsCollect our payBelieve we're gliding down the highwayWhen in fact we're slip slidin' away
