After The Fall?

In Saner Thought

Okay the America Civil War is over….the North has defeated the South in the war of “Northern Aggression”…..where did the losers slink off to after the fall?

Not all ran home to the plantation to lick their wounds.

Some went West and even some went as far as Mexico….but what did the majority actually do?

The late Charlie Daniels had a decent hit in 1974 with “The South’s Gonna Do It Again.” It would have provided a proper ear worm for Confederate forces and loyalists in 1865 after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Courthouse. Post-war conditions were not ideal in the southern states. Most of the war had been fought on Confederate soil, and it showed. Agriculture and infrastructure were devastated. Thousands of lives had been lost; other lives were irretrievably damaged. Economic opportunity was nearly nonexistent.

Some people went West to start over. There was land to be…

Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden – Defending Democracy Together

We are former national security officials who served during the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and/or Donald Trump, or as Republican Members of Congress. We are profoundly concerned about the course of our nation under the leadership of Donald Trump. Through his actions and his rhetoric, Trump has demonstrated that he lacks the character and competence to lead this nation and has engaged in corrupt behavior that renders him unfit to serve as President.

For the following reasons, we have concluded that Donald Trump has failed our country and that Vice President Joe Biden should be elected the next President of the United States.

  1. Donald Trump has gravely damaged America’s role as a world leader.
  2. Donald Trump has shown that he is unfit to lead during a national crisis.
  3. Donald Trump has solicited foreign influence and undermined confidence in our presidential elections.
  4. Donald Trump has aligned himself with dictators and failed to stand up for American values.
  5. Donald Trump has disparaged our armed forces, intelligence agencies, and diplomats.
  6. Donald Trump has undermined the rule of law.
  7. Donald Trump has dishonored the office of the presidency.
  8. Donald Trump has divided our nation and preached a dark and pessimistic view of America.
  9. Donald Trump has attacked and vilified immigrants to our country.
  10. Donald Trump has imperiled America’s security by mismanaging his national security team.

While some of us hold policy positions that differ from those of Joe Biden and his party, the time to debate those policy differences will come later. For now, it is imperative that we stop Trump’s assault on our nation’s values and institutions and reinstate the moral foundations of our democracy.

To that end, we are firmly convinced that it is in the best interest of our nation that Vice President Joe Biden be elected as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him.

Only women bleed — The Chatty Introvert

from The Shinbone Star website. I felt sick when I read about the migrant women in detention, and the hysterectomies. Somehow in the back of my mind, I was hoping this step would never occur, but it seems like it has. “It can’t happen here,” my ass. Our ugliest human-rights defying history is rhyming very, […]
