Proverbs 18:2 A fool does not delight in understanding. But only in revealing his own mind.
To paraphrase a famous movie line, "I'm embarrassed as hell and why do we keep taking this." Maybe not as catchy or memorable but something I feel more and more each day as I watch this house of cards called our government tremble and weaken and the trump card, our President, losing the confidence of Americans and the ability to lead us to "Making America Great Again."
Our elected leaders as well as the media are so wrapped up in trying to prove who had the most ties to the Russians and who to blame for leaking the stories about ties to the Russians, we don't see the obvious, the Russians are winning by simply making fools of these lawmakers who in turn are stupidly playing along. It was never so obvious as when the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during introductions with our Secretary of State, mocked the media while being asked for his reaction to the firing of FBI Director James Comey as he turned to the media shouting questions and satirically asked "He was fired?"
Then as the Russians meet with Our President in The Oval Office, our media is banned from being there while the visiting Russian media is there documenting from the room where our reputation as the world's leader was built by men who had we the people and our safety solely in mind.
With this it has become obvious the Russians have what was once considered the greatest country on earth rocking on its heels. Our arch enemy for as long as I have walked this earth has America where they want us, vulnerable and defensive. They influenced the election by throwing their support behind Trump because they recognized his in-ability to lead or to gain the confidence of Americans.
And without hardly trying, they are winning. The Russians have brought our government to a grinding halt. Oh sure the House approved a ridiculous version of a health care act that the Senate may not see for months because Trump then chooses to fire the FBI Director who unknowingly helped to get him elected and then claims he wasn't doing his job. Our President seems to think because people watched his reality show just to hear him say "You're fired!" will like him better by doing the same thing as President.
Like it or not he has weakened us in the eyes of the world. Amazingly, he has done in just over 100 days what has taken 241 years to build. And he has made fools of each of us whether we voted for him or not. Some will say this is all the fault of the media by reporting leaks made from within the walls of the White House and the FBI. Again missing the point, its not the leaks that will kill you, it's that weakening wall thats holding back an ocean of lies, mistakes, immaturity and inability to lead that's about to collapse that could make us no better than other 3rd world countries.
We as a country suffered the childish behavior while he traveled the Middle East, visited the Vatican and bullied his way through meetings with other world leaders who must be wondering whatever became of the USA they once respected.
Now he chooses to pull out from a world wide climate agreement intended to continue to protect the planet we call home. To what end? What does this accomplish other than taking the attention away from the ongoing and ever-growing investigations, rumors and leaks concerning Russian relationships.
So that brings us to the question, when will our other elected leaders realize as each day passes the concept of democracy and freedom are being demoralized and our real walls are being weakened and hiding behind the line of protecting the rights, freedom and safety of the people who elected them is nothing but a joke. The President asked when will countries start to laugh at us....the laughter is growing louder each day.
Maybe it's time for another march on our Nation's Capitol to send the message to our officials and our President that they cannot possibly ignore. Hundreds of thousands of us coming together, proving to those who are dividing us that we care about this still great country and the freedom and democracy we cherish.
Thousands and thousands of people converging on the place where lives have been improved and freedom celebrated while sending an urgent plea and reminder to those who work for us that we demand action that protects our lives and families.
Thousand and thousands of Americans who represent the diversity that defines what our country is about, coming together to challenge our elected leaders to do the job we entrusted them to do and that the decisions they make have the intent of making the population of our entire country better.
Thousands and thousands of people coming together to remind lawmakers and our President its not about winning or setting records, it's about finding solutions that benefit the citizens they represent and not the party they stand for.
Is this great country being weakened by a President and a majority party who's only agenda seems to be to overturn everything the previous administration accomplished. Based on approval ratings, just 38% of the country agrees with this direction while the other 62% can only sit and watch these fools weaken us in the eyes of the rest of the world who once depended on The United States to lead in times of challenge, attacks on human rights or devastation.
Trump claims we have not won anything as a country lately. Our last win may have been WWII when democracy and freedom saved the world from heathens and mass murderers. We then became the world's leader. Our freedom has been challenged, our borders breached and our security threatened but until now our reputation as the world's leader has never been challenged.
Ask yourself each morning Mr President, is what you are doing really making America Great Again? Better yet, How?
