Heroes
The current heroes [of the so-called deep state]: Gabriel Sterling, Voting System Implementation Manager (Republican) There is also a reluctant hero: Brian Kemp, Governor (Republican) The most memorable/admirable statement from Sterling: “This is elections. This is the backbone of democracy, and all of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this. […]
Let’s Not Forget
What will it take? How long must we wait? I am reminded of George Santayana’s warning: “Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” But I remember, and so do those who went out of their way to vote for Joe Biden; must we be doomed because of the sniveling, ass-licking […]
