Happy July 4th America 🇺🇸

 

One of the finest days in American history was the day freedom was born and independence declared, July 4, 1776.  

Historians like David McCullough would write about it with awe.  

Why?

Because the road to freedom was super difficult and a near-impossible amazing journey of resilience, bravery, and sacrifice.

And if we look through the pages of history, at what transpired during those early days, we would find leaders, like George Washington bravely facing the unknown and the near-impossible fight for freedom so daunting most men and women would have bowed down within that first mile.

“By the time Washington started his long retreat across New Jersey, they were down to only a few thousand men. 

Probably a quarter of the army were too sick to fight, victims of smallpox, typhoid, typhus, and, worst of all, camp fever, or epidemic dysentery. 

Men deserted, men defected—went over to the enemy by the hundreds. 

Or they just disappeared, they just went away, never heard from again. 

By the time Washington was halfway across New Jersey, he had all of 3,000 men.”*

Yet, somehow George Washington persisted.  

He managed to inspire his men with the will to go on and keep fighting for freedom in a seemingly impossible war against a king and country that was considered a superpower of that Age.

“Every soldier, because of the system at the time, was free to go home as of the first day of January 1777. 

Washington called a large part of the troops out into formation. He appeared in front of these ragged men on his horse, and he urged them to reenlist. He said that if they would sign up for another six months, he’d give them a bonus of 10 dollars. 

It was an enormous amount then because that’s about what they were being paid for a month—if and when they could get paid. These were men who were desperate for pay of any kind. Their families were starving.

The drums rolled, and he asked those who would stay on to step forward. The drums kept rolling, and nobody stepped forward. 

Washington turned and rode away from them. Then he stopped, and he turned back and rode up to them again. 

This is what we know he said:

My brave fellows, you have done all I asked you to do, and more than could be reasonably expected, but your country is at stake, your wives, your houses, and all that you hold dear. 

You have worn yourselves out with fatigues and hardships, but we know not how to spare you. 

If you will consent to stay one month longer, you will render that service to the cause of liberty, and to your country, which you can probably never do under any other circumstance.

Again the drums rolled. This time the men began stepping forward. “God Almighty,” wrote Nathanael Greene, “inclined their hearts to listen to the proposal and they engaged anew.”

Now that is an amazing scene, to say the least, and it’s real… It was as if he was saying, “You are fortunate. You have a chance to serve your country in a way that nobody else is going to be able to, and everybody else is going to be jealous of you, and you will count this the most important decision and the most valuable service of your lives.” *

Yet this amazing scene, one of many, was not the scene which made Washington the greatest man in the world of his Age.  

“Washington, the political general, had never forgotten that Congress was the boss. 

When the war was at last over, Washington, in one of the most important events in our entire history, turned back his command to Congress

—a scene portrayed in a magnificent painting by John Trumbull that hangs in the rotunda of our national Capitol. 

When George III heard that George Washington might do this, he said that “if he does, he will be the greatest man in the world.”*

Our freedom and independence would not be possible without heroes like George Washington knowing the difference between service to the country and self-service to autocratic power and greed. 

As we celebrate Independence Day, let us remember the spirit of service and sacrifice given on these battlefields for freedom, and ensure that our hard-won independence and freedom from tyranny continue to ring for our children and future generations.

Today let's engage anew those in hate and hypocrisy that would tear down and apart our Republic and democracy, and let freedom ring ever after.

The haters like only 
Their whites-only book covers.
Hate much any 
And my book cover of colors many.

For some unfathomable reason 
Those covers think 
Its only white abusers
Have superpowers.

Though I have tried to explain 
Through the pain
That it was the Lord that made 
Every book to cover of different colors.

It's no use.
My pleads go unheeded.
I am not tolerated 

Disrespected and abused.

The whites-only covers don't care
Spending all their time in hate
And power trips to bother 
With loving one another.

Ungrateful for all and every blessing 
God made
Running around and round
Playing god and cursing.

Judge and jury
Acting like all things 
Which belongs to the Lord 
Were stolen from them.

Never sharing in the Lord's bounty 
Hoarding away
Idolizing hate and greatest Hate
Destroying all and any in the way.

Trashing the Lord’s creations
Justifying in blame
Committing atrocities 
In shame.

Know now failures to bow down
To whites-only book covers 
Won't be tolerated.
Even when the Hate is grossly overrated.

In the end 
When the book chapters are read 
(By the Lord)
What would not be there
Are the very white book covers so prized.

For you 
Cannot take any cover with you
However liked 
Or despised.

At that end,
You will be judged only
Based on the contents of your book
Not on how your book cover will look.

 

 

I don't know why anyone would put a wagon before the horse, and then try to make predictions regarding this backward process or cover the horse in the dirt, and then try to read its aura. 

And I do not know why anyone would follow the directions of Professor Trelawney or Voldemort in a debate and then wonder where it all went wrong because when you put garbage in you get garbage out.  

And then when things go spectacularly wrong, know the embarrassment or shame on the world stage and still not get it; not follow the directions and advice of the grandiose nonsense people, because ignorant people do not know what's going on, let alone predict what's going to happen.

Also, I do not understand why unholy sinners get off on their damnation as if it's a good thing and do not know any shame or embarrassment.  

What's so great about having no honor or decency; where there is absolutely no purity of heart?

And I would not call setting the bar so low that at times it's below that of even cockroaches, parasites, and scum, not any kind of excellence or even barely passable standards.  

Or not know that constant, continuous, and aggravated abuses are crimes against humanity that are damning. 

So why then insist on knowing what it's like to have everything go to hell in a handbasket, especially when you can simply avoid them with best practices and wise choices? 

Why leave an embarrassing legacy of abuse and harm?

P.s.

How does it translate to control of the horse by continuously abusing it and assaulting it incessantly with parasites on a daily basis?  

And how could a vet ever treat the bites if the assaults with parasites never stop?

 

There must be a clear distinction in choice for the people.  

Therefore, current and future presidents must have:

Fight for democracy, liberty and justice for all.

Pledge allegiance to the Flag and the Republic of America. 

Stand against tyranny.

Have Honor - where their word is their bond;

Have a duty of care and fidelity to the American people and the Constitution.  

Have Decency - where purity of heart and defending a person's honor, especially defending a woman's honor is a top priority and matches Jesus's teachings of Beatitudes on the Mount.

Have ethical and moral behaviors when enforcing the rule of law.

Enforce the law, fight corruption and defend democracy.

Remove the bad players, the Judases and terrorists from constantly causing harm and hold them responsible for each count of abuse.

Provide honest services.  

Establish clear rules of conduct and Robert Rules of Order when dealing with friendlies and different tribes; and in politics.

Hold accountable those with dishonorable conduct and indecent behaviors.  

No assaulting friendlies or citizens and getting away with harm.  

No cruel and unusual treatments.  

No sexual abuse, harassment or abusive methods, especially against friendlies and citizens.

Respect people, personal and intellectual property.

Hold abusers accountable, especially for sexual harassment and abuse.

Follow National Security Guidelines and enforce violations.  

Run a tight ship.

Fix Broken Windows.

My Opinion

The Supreme Court decided today to punt.

The ball is in the lower courts and believe it or not in Biden’s court, because he is still the president therefore, it's his headache, so I suggest he stop listening to the ignorant alphas and start listening to the sage.

Trump attorneys are going to be super rich.

His mess is going to go on forever.

The lower courts will have to comb through each of his questionable actions as president.

Trump will most likely face jail time for private acts (since his attorney already admitted to the Supreme Court that some of his questions actions were private acts).

Biden should secure democracy now. 

He should remove the bad players including those in the media,  breaking National Security Clearance and color of law and those not providing honest services.
