Wise Words Of Warning … | Filosofa’s Word
…When Republicans faced an 11th-hour reckoning with another of their presidents over far less serious offenses almost 50 years ago, the elder statesmen of the party marched into the Oval Office and told Richard Nixon the truth. He had lost his Republican support and he would be impeached if he did not resign. The beleaguered Nixon resigned the next day and left the White House the day following.
Such is what it means to put country over party. History tends to look favorably upon a party that writes its own history, as Winston Churchill might have said.
Republicans have waited in vain for political absolution. It’s finally time for them to put the country before their party and pull back from the brink — for the good of the party, as well as the nation.
If not now, then they must forever hold their peace…

Abbott Torpedoes Sickle-Cell Legislation on Juneteenth Weekend
This legislative session, advocates celebrated the passage of House Bill 181, which would have established a sickle cell patient registry.
However, celebrations over the registry were cut short last week, when Governor Greg Abbott announced he had vetoed the bill. Supporters of the bill were quick to point out the irony of Abbott’s timing: The announcement came over Juneteenth weekend, just a few days before World Sickle Day.

Learning about love…by Magic Mixture – Magic Mixture
Yes, loving is hard
And it’s easy too
love the good
too easy
Like perfect?
And how not?!
But who is against us?
Respond to us
Challenge us, challenge us?
Loving implies looking
look next
as for ourselves
But look with compassion
observe the hidden truth
Hidden in a harsh gesture
In a bitter word
Loving what’s hurt
Withered, trampled in the soul
So no, I don’t want
I can’t, I give up
Inner change is what I need
I insist, I persist
I still get there
Loving is easy, it’s hard …
I’m going ahead
I’m still at the beginning…
