 OK so I'm officially paranoid.  I am freaked out.  Around 10 PM last evening after coercing Murphy to go outside to potty, we encountered a weird and totally disgruntling situation. Murph was on a leash and he was about to go potty... I was on the deck, leash in hand.... a flashlight from the street that had been moving down the street stopped and suddenly Murph was on alert and the hand holding the flashlight was extended so that I was being observed.... and it wasn't continuing to move....no it was trained on me and Murphy.  I didn't say anything.  I just yanked the leash and Murph hopped up onto the deck and we went inside.  I locked the door.... shook and went into action.  I turned the light off so I could see if someone was going to come thru the gate... then, since no one was approaching....I turned the panic lights on and called the sheriffs office.

They said I did the right thing and would patrol the area... cause let's face it...no one is walking  their dog at 10 o'clock at night...

What should I do?  Is it time for me to buy a gun?

 In reading "An Unfinished Love Story"  I came across this passage:

"Some have called upon us to mute or stifle dissent in the name of patriotism and the national interest.  It is an argument that monstrously misconceives the nature and process and the greatest strength of American democracy....It is not our privilege but our duty as patriots, to write, to speak, to organize, to oppose any President and any party and any policy at any time which we believe threatens the grandeur of this nation and the well being of its people.  This is such a time."

       an excerpt from Dick Goodwin's speech to the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) on September 17, 1966... in opposition to the American escalation of the Vietnam War.

Funny how it's really timeless and how appropriate it is today...

We are faced with an increasingly fraught situation... an unhinged resentful President set on personal revenge aided and abetted by his henchmen and set on destroying our Democracy and the rule of Law.  We CANNOT just sit idly by and watch the dumpster fire.  We MUST stand up in direct opposition.  We must call out exactly what it is... clearly Trump wants to be a King and Musk is his chief Oligarch Henchman systematically doing the actual destruction.  

It's time to ACT!!!! Organize, demonstrate... FIGHT!!!

I am apoplectic!  This is a dumpster fire!!!  I have checked the networks  this morning and Trump is once again distracting the public with his ridiculous plans for Gaza and his executive order to ban transgender youth from playing sports.  

This is Trump - the Master of Distraction!!!!

Meanwhile, Musk has taken control of the government check book and financial systems.  No one elected Musk BUT he's in control of our Nation!  He is controlling what and where our nation puts our funds...and he has OUR power.   

This is a COUP!!!  WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

Trump pardoned the Jan. 6th criminals to form his own militia...  

Everyone of his new cabinet has lied to Congress during their confirmation hearings.  They are orchestrating the takeover of justice - the FBI, Health, Education and Human Rights.

We need to FIGHT!!!!
