Why?Amazing the brilliance of a man alive so long ago? As if he had an insight into the human condition which has not changed at all since his time. The more things change the more they stay the same. We are apparently stuck being what we are. less

Once again I was wrong.I wonder what futurely will come to be? Will I be wrong then too? What about you? Are you right or wrong or middling/medium? Do you win more than you lose? Do you guess wright more often than you guess rong?

They were the Presidents for ALL THE PEOPLE including those who didn't vote for them.On 9/11 we saw how President Bush reacted. There was no doubt he was deeply wounded about the loss of life and brought us together as nation as ONE PEOPLE. He did not dog whistle any American group. He did not attack insult malign blame derogate any American group. He spoke to ALL THE PEOPLE.It's sad that we don't appreciate what we have until we lose it.We took Clinton, Bush and Obama for granted. PRESIDENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE. That is the point of being a president. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PUT VICIOUS VITRIOLIC PARTISANSHIP ASIDE and fulfill the oath of the office. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION AND REALIZE THEY ARE BUT 1/3 of the leaderhip of a country. EXECUTIVE JUDICIAL LEGISLATIVE. Three EQUAL and ESSEN... less

I am getting to that. Thousands were missing, millions were homeless and funds started being collected to help out worldwide. It was on the watch of President George W. Bush. What did he do?He appointed his father, George Herbert Walker Bush and Bill Clinton to head the fundraising task force and coordinate it. A great friendship grew between the two so much so that George H.W. Bush said he could be the father that Clinton never had and Clinton never disagreed with him. Different politics completely. No difference in their character or humanity or CARING about others.Former presidents coming together to do good work. What a novel concept? No. It was a bit of a surprise but we saw very early on it was a BRILLIANT thing to do.What do you think would have been the response if a trump had been president? less

He shared bazillions of photos he took behind the scenes mostly during President Obama's tenure as president but also some were shared covering President Reagan and among the most sadly heartbreaking and poignant were when President Reagan died and at the funeral Nancy and their two children draped themselves over his coffin and kissed it.Normally White House photographers are Apolitical and once the president is gone they become invisible and stay silent. Pete could not and now is an activist.Were you silent all those years but now you too are an activist because silence assumes assent and you do not assent to the current political quagmire cesspool?Or are you still silent because you approve? Or silent because you don't want to get involved? Or silent because you are afraid of becoming a target? Or silent just because you see good in all as well as evil and so why takes sides when we are all the same? less

The IDES of March.William Shakespeare wrote a play about him which is fairly historically accurate as far as the "experts" can tell.So when people are long gone is it the evil that lives on? What GOOD did Hitler do that we remember?

The flat earthers see earth as a vast flatland. If you go to the edge you can fall off.The moon landing was a hoax. It was filmed on a soundstage in Hollywood. It is a conspiracy whose purpose has yet to be made clear. But it is fake phony never happened. NASA is in on it.There was no HOLOCAUST. There was no extermination of millions of jews. It was all a jewish plot to gain sympathy and besmirch the nazis.There is a worldwide deep state cabal made up of fllesh-eating cannabals who traffic children for sex and torture and murder them and drink their blood. QANON is based on that belief. Of course that cabal is all made up of democrats per the QANON dogma. Republicans embrace them and welcome them into politics. WITH OPEN ARMS. They are the future.There are good people on both sides of any issue. The most heinous monstrous hateful evil sapheads are also very good ... less
