And while the word “problem,” vernacular wise, does tend to encompass the sum of American politics no matter which political party one aligns themselves with, said “problem” more times than not has its basis in a commonality that is either willingly being ignored by one party or simply not being addressed by the other party out of fear of facing what are sure to come ramifications. And while most Republicans rightfully feel that today's Democrat party has lost all vestiges of what is both “common sense” and “rational thinking,” thus leaving them in multi-stages of chaos, misdirection, and an uncertain political future; most Democrat's feel that the Republican party is not willing enough, not open minded enough, in its thinking to even try to understand why they deem the concept of “inclusion” to be so important.
But no matter the two parties current differences, the root cause of all the“problems” we as a nation still face today, whether we be Republicans or Democrats...I believe... remains the same, as in one Barack Hussein Obama, America's 44th president, whose platform when running for office was “Hope and Change” which when elected morphed into the “fundamental transformation of America.” And this in turn set into motion not only what became known as the “weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history,” but all the hate, divisiveness, and anger that follow us to this day. How so...because the America Obama led for eight years was then and remains now, vastly different than the America he inherited, but obviously not in a good sense for his presidency heralded in extreme social, demographic, and cultural changes that caused tenuous shifts in both government policy and in the “court of public opinion.”Known also in some Democrat circles as the “Father of DEI,” Obama started said transformation by establishing “The Diversity & Inclusion Council” via “Executive Order 13583,” beginning with the infamous Department of Education...and not surprisingly we all know how well that turned out now don't we. And while Obama claimed that DEI would, “lead us down the path to true equality,” DEI instead turned out to be a guise for anything but “equality” as skin color and misguided sexual deviations overrode not just common sense, but merit based qualifications in both educational endeavors and in the public work force hiring.
And again, America's current troubles were courtesy of the“media anointed” first black president...a misnomer to begin with as Barack Hussein Obama technically is of “mixed race”...or what's scientifically classified as “bi-racial”...as his mother was white and his father black...yet he still deliberately ripped open what was, at the time, healing racial wounds. How so...by his outwardly embracing radically dangerous groups like “Black Lives Matter” and “Antifa” while turning black criminals...like Michael Brown, George Floyd, and the infamous, “If I had a son...” Trayvon Martin...into heroes and victims simply because their skin color was black.
And while Obama's supposed “blackness” was and does remain his true driving force, his political ineptitude while in office led to more Americans receiving government aid...aka “welfare”...then working full-time, thus creating a new generation of “welfare dependent” individuals, which unfortunately continues to this day. Remember too, that it was Obama who, in 2012, helped shield from deportation over 1.2 million so called “Dreamers”....as in children brought to our country at a young age and whose families our taxpayer dollars helped to support...as well as his 2014 spending of our monies on five million then called “undocumented residents.” Simply, Obama loved spending what was our hard earned taxpayer dollars on individuals that it should never have been spent on.And dare not forget that Obama's answer to all America's money “problems”...“problems” including his putting us on a so-called “fiscal cliff” by having added $6.5+ trillion dollars to the then national debt...was simply to “print more money,” never mind the fact that the needed “treasure” to back it up was simply not there.
And while Americans were financially hurting at the same time the printing presses were merrily rolling along, Obama relished in shoving his namesake piece of legislation known as “ObamaCare” down American's collective throats.“ObamaCare”...the healthcare disaster that was then and still remains now in the hands of “pencil pushing” bureaucrats instead of seeing an individuals doctor/patient relationship deciding what should be the logistics of ones healthcare plan. Simply put, “Obamacare” is but another name for government controlled healthcare for the masses that comes replete, yet unknown to most, with its own dirty little secrets...secrets such as the fact that “Obamacare” made it all but impossible for millions of hard working Americans to keep what was their individual or employee-sponsored group health insurance, and led to hundreds of thousands...possibly millions...of workers losing what was full-time, good paying jobs. How so...because the actual healthcare costs dictated by “Obamacare”..as in the costs carried by one's employer...literally became unsustainable for most business owners/employers to bear, especially when an additional “destructive tax” on all medical devices was added into the mix.
And not to be forgotten is Obama's what some call “foreign policy blunders,” but what I call his back-stabbing traitorous actions...a list that truly did go from bad to worse with number one on said list being:1. Obama's infamous “I Apologize for America” tours based upon his utter and total disdain for our U.S. armed forces even when being deployed on behalf of our national interests.
2. The disaster known as “Benghazi” which cost U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and C.I.A. Operatives Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty their lives, and whose blood is clearly on Obama's and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's hands.
3. Obama's ever so proudly signing what was the the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” ...useless U.N. nonsense that has done absolutely nothing to stop or even deter Iran's nuclear ambition
4, Obama's ever infamous five Taliban terrorists for one American traitor deal.5. Obama's too numerous backstabbing betrayals of the Jewish State of Israel who is America's staunchest ally.
6. Obama's exposing his true “personal allegiance” with these 15 words, “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
7. Obama's secret middle of the night deal where he sent $400 million dollars in cash to Iran, then as is now the world's leading sponsor of terrorism...while knowing well that said monies would likely be used to increase funding to their proxy armies...armies like Hamas and Hezbollah...in their quest to wipe Israel off the map.
And these seven “foreign policy blunders” along with the previously stated domestic based “problems” lying at his feet, are just the proverbial “tip of the iceberg” in regards to all the harm this one man has done to both our beloved America and “We the American People.” But to make it all even worse is the fact that not one of our duly elected officials, to date, has officially and publicly called Obama to task “on the record,” let alone charged him with any (I believe ) crime committed. Getting away with murder so to speak, Obama has not even been held accountable for any of the damage that he has caused out country. And why...in my opinion...it's because of fear of the “race card” once again coming into play.
And why so...because for a man like Obama who wasn't “white enough” to “pass” while growing up, he embraced his having been socially deemed to be black, after all it gave him the coveted chance to be “anointed” as America's “first black president.” And in the symbolic nature of his having fully erased his white half, Obama was able to openly embrace the radical left's “Black agenda” replete with the implementation of “white guilt.” And sadly, because a sizeable number of very vocal people “of color” continued to think about the color of their skin upon first awakening in the morning and as the last thing before going to bed at night, Obama had a dedicated group of supporters who would do and say anything to help rip open the aforementioned, once healing, racial wounds.
Also, remember that while the sum total of Obama's presidency was one of putting the wants and needs of our enemies over America herself; over “We the American People;” as well as over our country's allies and friends; it was “We the People” who suffered through eight long years of Obama shoving his race driven and overtly anti-America agenda down our collective throats. And yet Republican leaders still have done nothing of substance about it. And why...because the only logical explanation can be is that they still fear being called “racist” in both the still leftist controlled media and in the court of public opinion no matter that Trump is now, thankfully, in charge.
And while Donald Trump, during his first term as president, did try to expose the truth about Obama, his administration, and all the harm he and they did to our country, Obama...in my opinion...was able to gather together the components that became the infamous “Trump witch hunt.” And in Obama's successfully doing so, along with his knowing that Republican leaders would fear his using the “race card” against them, the stage was set for Obama's third term in office.
Remember, it was obvious to many...even before Joe Biden's physical and mental health decline became obvious...that Obama would be the one running the country. And this scenario was proven true when Biden's policies mirrored that of Obama's...not unlike two ships passing in the night...replete with a not so healthy dose of manufactured DEI policies and calls of racism being thrown in for good...or should I say bad...measure.
And so...in my opinion...the man who relished in“aiding and abetting” our nation's enemies...the man to whom “bipartisanship” was a dirty word...the man whose promised “immigration reform” turned into our open “free for all” southern border fiasco...the man who deemed “globalism” superior to “America First”...and the man whose inner racist self relished in seeing American cities burning and lives and businesses being destroyed in the name of black criminals...actually remains the shadow now hanging over all the “problems” President Trump is trying to fix today. But until the “problem” source itself is outwardly called to task...until Barack Obama is so charged and sentence adjudicated...this man will continue on to try to get what would be his “fourth term” in office. Case closed.

It wasn't a verdict...it was a vendetta delivered to appease the always angry mobs of miscreants and thugs...a verdict rendered way too fast to have been carefully and with due diligence reached. Guilty on all three charges...second degree murder, third degree murder, and second degree manslaughter.
And so it's now one week since former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin has been tried and convicted both legally and in the “court of public opinion”...convicted based not upon true medical evidence per se, but based upon a video played for the jury over and over again. We all know well the video in question...the video showing Officer Chauvin's knee on media anointed saint George Floyd's neck...a video that those on the jury surely viewed many times during the past year as did we all...jury persons who had already found Chauvin guilty in their own minds even before being appointed to sit on said jury.
And don't think for a minute that anyone on that jury hadn't seen the video beforehand as it was and still is being posted all over the internet...posted so many times that this one video has become so ingrained in our subconscious that common sense coupled with must needed impartiality of the legal kind be damned. And why common sense specifically...because to most law abiding folks it seems pretty obvious that those on the jury were picked because they appeared to be easily swayed individuals who could be manipulated if need be... manipulated to fear the very real possibility of their being both the cause and the scapegoat for any riots that followed if the verdict rendered exonerated Chauvin in any way.
But why do I say this...because one key critical piece of evidence seems to have been completely and possibly deliberately ignored during the trial...as in the very fact that the Official Minneapolis Medical Examiner's Autopsy Report showed absolutely no...I repeat no... forensic evidence that George Floyd was asphyxiated by the placing of Derek Chauvin's knee upon his neck. Also included in the M.E. report was the lack thereof of petechine (pinpoint-sized red dots caused by broken blood vessels common with asphyxiation) and that there were no internal neck injuries of the "crushing" kind found, as in "life-threatening" injuries to Floyd's neck, head, spine, chest, brain, skull or injuries even remotely related to his larynx.
Simply, without said injuries present, common sense should once again dictate that while Officer Chauvin's knee was indeed on George Floyd's neck as shown in the video, it appeared not to be "crushing" or compressing into his neck but simply, for lack of a better word, "resting" there. And while that action itself can be considered a questionable action regarding the legalities of police procedures used, it in no way, in my humble opinion, even remotely relates to murder especially when the one being subdued was a career criminal, a convicted felon, a man caught in the act of committing yet another crime, a man so hopped up on drugs that it took numerous officers to subdue him. The actions of Officer Derek Chauvin regarding the knee was, if anything, a bad judgment call on his part, but not one that should equate to murder...manslaughter perhaps but not murder...for he in no way ever intended to kill George Floyd.
And what so many forget is that police officers take an oath to “serve and protect,” and that they put their own lives on the line everyday to do so. They surely never know when a routine traffic stop might lead to their own death or when a drugged out thug might turn on them next. And while too many say there's always some bad apples in the police bunch, I say those few bad apples are way outnumbered by those simply doing the very job they swore an oath to do. Think of it this way...do we white folks condemn all black folks for the actions of BLM miscreants and thugs or for the likes of disgraceful and cowardly sorts like LeBron James who last week tweeted and then took down that “YOU'RE NEXT” in reference to the white police officer who saved the life of a young black girl ready to be murdered by another young black girl, as in 16-year old knife-wielding Ma'Khia Bryant? No we do not, and the Columbus, Ohio police officer who saved the young girl's life should be hailed as a hero, and LeBron James should not only be ashamed of himself and publicly apologize to the officer, but should be arrested for deliberate incitement of violence as well.
Arrested for incitement as should 16-term California Rep. Maxine Waters, a woman solely driven and defined by the color of her skin. A thug in her own right who not too long ago claimed that “rioting is the voice of the unheard” when rioting is actually the voice of those who think they are owed everything simply because they are black, Maxine Waters embodies everything the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought hard against for the “content of her character” is as ugly as the sick sneer she always has on her face. A no longer closeted racist, Maxine Waters outward hatred of white people is on full display every time she opens her mouth to speak, for her ill-mannered vulgarities and hate filled vocal intonations against not just white folks but the police as well speak volumes while her black skin color now places her safely in the "dare we not condemn her" zone.
And what exactly is this zone we, as white folks, dare not enter but a politically manufactured sector of sorts where no white person is allowed to speak nor even think ill of any persons of color. And if we do we are not only deemed to be racists, but it gives misplaced credence and opportunity to both Democrat politicians and their media cohorts to continue perpetrating the lie that our beloved America is a systemically racist nation especially against those whose skin color is black, or as Joe Biden, the man who once said he did not want his own children to grow up in a "racial jungle" now says, is but a “stain on our nation’s soul.”
But I believe what is the true “stain on our nation's soul” is actually the not uniting together of both good black and white folks in a show of strength against these evil and vile sorts no matter the color of their skin.
And herein lies a good part of the problem, a problem that in reality only black folks themselves can solve, for the fact is that while the majority of black folks are truly decent, hard working, family oriented folks...just like the vast majority of we white folks are...and they are folks we are happy to call “friend”...they continue to allow the voices and rhetoric of the likes of Rep. Maxine Waters, LeBron James, BLM's hierarchy, the Nation of Islam's Louie Farakham, and other assorted militant black groups and individuals...as in black leftist politicians including, sadly, a former president...to not only speak dangerous words of incitement but to take action into their own hands all in the name of the whole.
Remember, if one does not condemn one condones...if black folks themselves do not tell the black miscreants and thugs to stop speaking and acting up on behalf of said whole, then in their silence they are indeed condoning not only overtly racist words of hate, but overtly racist and ever so dangerous actions now coupled with vehemently anti-police rhetoric as well. And their cry of holding police officers accountable for acts of brutality are truly getting tiring indeed for more white officers are killed by black thugs than black thugs are killed by white officers. But these deaths we never hear of for the media themselves acquiesces both out of fear and unfortunately the ratings...a true monetary gain which black thug deaths garners for them as well.
Simply put, the miscreants and thugs are carrying out actions ordered and heralded by what are militant black separatists groups...groups who in no way strive for or even want equality between the two races...groups whose true want is total black domination over white folks...domination delegated and willingly accepted, it seems, courtesy of the always present fear that these same black groups will surely act up again if we dare not appease them. And know that these black militant minority groups actually now do control the entirety of what amounts to the politically designed and motivated race-bating discourse, and they do so by their always hanging the threat of said violence, rioting, looting, arson, and mayhem over our heads if they dare not get their way.
And not only do these vile militant black folks have the vast majority of America's black population silently complying out of fear...remember black on black crime is the curse good black folks face on a daily basis...but sadly that same fear now seems to have engulfed a good many white folks too. And this can easily be seen in the ever growing multitude of spineless Republican politicians so afraid of being labeled a “racist” that they willingly cater and bend to the will of those who have no problem sacrificing, if you will, Police Officer Derek Chauvin to the angry miscreant mob calling for his blood. And they're doing so all in the name of the afore mentioned career criminal, convicted felon, and hard core drug addict who had enough illegal substances in him on the day of his death to open up his own drug store, a man who will now and forever be known as media canonized Saint George Floyd...a martyr to all who claim they "can't breathe."
And all I can say is may heaven and an overturned verdict on appeal help save us all.

America...“the land of the free and the home of the brave” has now, at least in the political realm, become a land where a “placeholder president” gets away with ruling by executive order while his political opponents cower in fear of being called “racists”...“racists” in the broadest and most twisted sense of the word...as in those being perceived to be driven by narrow-minded bigotry of anything proposed by or initiated by the left.
America...a once true melting pot of
blended races and cultures is now anything but as the voices of
certain minorities seem to override the majority and dominate both
common sense and the political discourse, while at the same time
seeing these same folks completely separating themselves from what
was once viewed as the sum of American culture. And this in turn has
now filtered down into becoming broad based cultural biases, biases
not without merit, yet biases having little or nothing to do with
race or ethnicity per se, while having everything to do with
politically driven anti-American ideologies.
And what better way to describe such anti-American ideologies than with the two words “cancel culture”...the movement trying to erase and rewrite American history itself...as if tearing down statutes, removing paintings, and other such foibles changes actual history...it emphatically does not and will not for what was...was...period. Now going against not only our American way of life and what is basically western prevailing societal norms, values, and ethics, the adherents of this ideology, for the most part, are black malcontents who thinks today's white folks owe them something for their ancestors past; are spoiled rich white kids with too much time and money on their hands; or are those liberal sorts who love using race and misplaced sensibilities to force their opponents into both political and cultural submission.
Now being given free reign by the Democrat powers that be to publicly shame those who don’t agree with them, “cancel culture” has become a movement trapped in a highly focused yet extremely dangerous group-think sort of mentality whose mission, if you will, is to lay assault on our traditional sense of moral law and order as well as on American cultural and religious values, and they're doing so in order to gain the upper hand over the multitudes of cowardly politicians too afraid to initiate any sort of action to oppose them. And the mainstream media, who while pushing forward their own self-fabricated brand of anger and hate based solely upon politically generated lies and innuendos, relishes in reaping both a ratings bonanza and large financial advertising rewards by actually giving, not only the adherents of said “cancel culture” a voice, but by giving the adherents of what's now called “woke culture” a platform as well...a platform by which they too can speak out and oppose any and all things American and to do so without fear of either media or political reprisal.But what exactly is this somewhat new ideology known as “woke culture?” It simply is the now favored media description du jour of those progressive sorts who have suddenly and oh so miraculously “woken up”...as in become “aware”...of what they perceive to be not only ongoing unaddressed racial discrimination issues but other assorted social injustices here in the U.S. as well, including the standard plethora of leftist issues...climate change, abortion, inclusion, fossil fuels, illegals, etc...that are both the hallmark and calling card of those out to destroy our beloved America.
And while the whole idea of being “woken” has its origins in black culture, it's now being used as a catchall phrase in the political discourse thanks...so sarcastically said of course...to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement that uses the hashtag #staywoke to reignite both the overt animosity and the physical flames of racial tension that was slowly starting to temper down here in our country... animosity and a path towards said flames that (I believe) was actually deliberately initiated and set by Barack HUSSEIN Obama courtesy of his infamous words, “If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon Martin.”Simply, the joint ideologies...the joint weapons of cultural war...of both “cancel culture” and “woke culture”...has not only divided our country into warring political camps, but into actual race-bating camps as well...camps that do not even bother to hide the fact that their goal is to openly pit black folks against white folks, and law and order folks against a criminal element now being given free reign to run amok by an administration run amok itself. And while “cancel culture's” and “woke culture's” adherents claim that what they do is based upon their first amendment right to free speech, their (supposed) striving for racial equality, and their right to the “pursuit of happiness,” they in turn willingly and knowingly deny those very same rights to those of us who oppose them.
But the truth is that both “cancel culture” and “woke culture” are just more of the ugliness that is “political correctness”...“political correctness” on steroids that will, in time, run its course with the only difference in their modus operandi in today's America being the using of a new deemed more hip vernacular to address the same old tired, over-played issues that surface when election years roll around, especially when a change in political power is looming. And while some folks hope that things will change for the better and do so in a more timely manner, reality itself has proven that change will not come via intimidation, threats, or political coercion, but will only come with yet another change in administration. And really, no one in either party has the power to wave the proverbial magic wand or sprinkle enough unicorn fairy dust to make lasting and positive change happen any sooner than destiny dictates.
Simply, only time and the maddening futility of still non-existent
events will determine whether things, no matter the label du jour
attached to them, will change our country's current status quo unless
“We the People” rise up to claim the ultimate sort after
prize...as in the America we remember and long for...as in “the
land of the free and the home of the brave,” a land where "liberty and justice for all" is the true order of the day.
