Time for Americans to wake up!
 
Israel is a killing machine and its oppression of the Palestinian people is worse than the apartheid of the past South African government against their Black people. And it’s America that funds Israeli killing of Palestinians. It’s my tax money that Washington uses for this crime. 
It is the American government that continues its economic wars against Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua that makes life miserable for the people of those countries and none of them is a threat or even an enemy of us. Shame on Washington. And the Democrats are as much a war party as the Republicans. This is nothing new. LBJ killed 1.5 million Vietnamese, people who were never a threat to the U.S. and always wanted friendship. And again it's my tax money that killed and are killing my brothers and sisters abroad. And it's only good for the corporate interests largely but not exclusively the weapons industry that benefits and controls the Democrats and the Republicans in Washington.

Free press is a myth. Julian Assange is still in prison because the U.S. does not allow whistleblowers in the media. The media is largely bullshit when it comes to honest reporting because it is largely owned by huge corporations.
It is us, the Americans, who think America is god’s gift to the world. It isn’t. It is the mindless brainwashed people that is the gift to corporate greed and control of America. You don’t control America – it controls you. It owns you.
The war between the Ukraine and Russia is exactly what the U.S. system wanted, to weaken or destroy Russia. It could have been prevented but the U.S. didn’t want that. It could be stopped at any time but the U.S. keeps sending weapons and spending my tax money for killing. The U.S. doesn’t care about Ukrainians; they are being thrown under the bus. Shame on the Democrats – the party that loves war (along with the other creeps).

Americans – it’s time to wake up. America is NOT a democracy.

Tell it like it is

Words that incite rather than inspire are considered part of the new normalcy.
Truth is considered a nuisance to avoid and should be muzzled.
The dark side of the political spectrum promotes deception and evokes confusion and doubt. Their near worship of wielding power ruthlessly would prove ruinous.
Even the Supreme Court really blundered when just a few diehards recently carved up a hard-fought and –won case, and dismissed it with a wink and a nod. The damage to our humanity and personal privacy decisions has been violated.

The truth hurts some folks
Although the Republican Party told its supporters that inflation, high gas prices, the cost of groceries and all tangible goods was America’s largest concern. Women and the silent majority spoke through their votes as not the most important.
It seems as though electing Republicans to control the senate and the house all would be well and price reductions across the board would decrease. Not true.
America, according to Google, ranks 107th as inflation is a worldwide problem not caused by Joe Biden, as the opposing party would have voters believe.
The restrictions placed on women’s bodies, while none on men’s, sent a clear message to the Supreme Court – “They’re not going to take it any more!”
Why is it that the party who lays claim to being the party for life does not support social programs such as WIC medical benefits, food stamps and many other benefits needed to support life?
While I write this letter Donald Trump announced another bid to run in 2024. While under many investigations into tax fraud, business doings, as well as three wives, 30,000-plus lies, paying off porn stars and committing adultery while Milania delivered Baron, most churches continue to support this charlatan as he lays claim to being the chosen one and butters their manna by telling the gullible what they want to hear.

My faith in the modern-day clergy has greatly dissipated as apparently any moral compass has boundaries not allowing me to recede to false provocations.
It is my belief America has had enough division and the majority have had enough of Trump’s trash talk, cocky attitude and conceit, always displaying an attitude of arrogance.
I’ve lived through 14 presidents and none have shown such disrespect for the office.
