Decision 2024: Uncle Sam or the Crazy Convicted Felon Uncle?

Joe Biden has pulled us out of the hole we were in thanks to the Trump administration’s horrific and willful mishandling of the pandemic and the economic collapse that ensued; he has restored our standing in the world; he honors the memories of those who sacrificed everything so that our democracy might endure. My uncle, the convicted felon, honors nothing and he will continue to rally the darkest forces—that he himself has lifted from their hiding places—to erase those memories and render those sacrifices meaningless.

This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a normal election. In 146 days, Americans are going to choose what kind of country we want to be going forward. Will it be the same country that fought on those beaches against the evil of tyranny and fascism? Or will we choose to align the most powerful country in history with the malicious designs of the enemies we risked so much to vanquish?

There is a palpable sense of fear among the good guys these days. In Europe, our allies wonder who we are. At home, we wonder the same. Are we the good guys or the bad guys? Are we aligned with Uncle Sam or the uncle who can’t seem to speak without lying or act without committing crimes against our country and our Constitution? In just a few months, we will know.

I believe in the America Joe Biden and his party represents. I believe our best chance forward is to make sure the administration stays in Democratic hands, we increase the Democrat’s Senate majority, and make sure we take over the House. Overall, we are a good people, striving to do better. I believe we are better than my convicted felon uncle and the hatred he espouses and inspires.

America has won this fight before. In 146 days, we can win it again.

यदि चुना हुआ गंतव्य और रास्ते गलत हो जाएं

तो आगे के लिये दिशा परिवर्तन बेहतर है…

जीवन भर अंधकार में भटकने के बजाय 

एक नए गंतव्य और नए पथ का चयन बेहतर है…

⬇️ ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬆️

If the way you chose to tread leads astray instead…

It’s wise to change direction, find a new path ahead…

Better to seek a fresh route, a goal that’s truly right…

Than to wander lost forever in the endless night…

Genealogy Roundup, June 13 – Megan Smolenyak

Ask the Experts with Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak – Hey, y’all, look who I’m going to be chatting with this month! Diahan Southard – Your DNA Guide

I Was Mortified When I Found Out My Parents Are Cousins but They Don’t Seem To Care – Kind of surprised people are still getting surprised by this stuff. Kissing cousins are so much more common than many grasp.

Supercentenarian and remarkable age records exhibit patterns indicative of clerical errors and pension fraud – While the results aren’t all that surprising, it interesting that someone took such a deep dive into this topic! You might have noticed in your research that when people get older, they get sometimes much older. Many elderly, for instance, keep rounding up over time across census records so that someone who’s, say, 89 winds up looking as if they’re 101. Well, this explores that issue.

Shadow Boxes of Almudena Cemetery – Wish shadow boxes were more common in cemeteries. Would be interesting to see what ancestors (and their survivors) decided to include.

Parents are finding baby name ideas by visiting cemeteries – “I am a gravestone baby.”👶😮
