George Moss had multiple degrees from different colleges, including multiple master's degrees.

He was a teacher and high school principal at Beecher High School. 

After he retired from the Beecher school district, Moss became a professor at the University of Michigan-Flint.

Educating people was what drove George Moss to get up every morning.

Teaching young people was replaced by becoming a daily columnist and radio show voice. 

He began writing occasional columns for my community newspapers in the late 1990's. His career began as a regular contributor to our "Letters to Editor" collection on the page of our old chain operated by Tri-County Publishing Inc.

As Executive Editor, I had no choice but to give him his own space inside our pages.

His writings were too long and caused problems when limited others to a certain number of words or face editing out what I thought were the weakest parts of their letters.

George's letters were too good to edit.

He became a weekly columnist in 2005 and when we transitioned our newspapers completely online as I stopped getting ink on my hands when ending my 14 print publications in 2013, George approached the subject one day at Arby's in Fenton after he schooled an opponent from the left on my radio show with what he called his "wisdom from the right."

He came with notebooks full of convincing arguments about why I should let him write a column every day.

That was George.

He never came unprepared if he was ready to convince someone he was right about whatever the subject might be.

We spent nearly a decade sitting together in a studio every Wednesday.

I played moderator as George "wore out" all the  opponents "on the left" of the political spectrum who dared to debate him over important issues of the day.

The late Terry Bankert, a prominent local attorney, finally quit trying to tangle with the professor.

I remember Terry calling to proclaim after one embarrassing performance from the left: "My wife says I need to get off the radio unless you replace George! He's embarrassing me too badly. So badly that I'm losing clients for the law firm. Plus, I don't think I'm a liberal any more. Don't tell George though because I'm a former chairman of the county Democrat Party so I don't want to admit I'm a lot more toward the middle. Maybe it's my old age. Or maybe I need to admit it's debating George for the last few years. He shoots holes in everything I've believed most of my life."

The colorful and controversial Flint City Councilman Eric Mays tried next.

"That's enough," the late councilman said after his first, and last debate with George.

"I quit," Mays chuckled. "I keep debating with him and I won't be able go go back to the hood. Plus, I will be a former councilman. That was the most embarrassing hour of my life. I know I'm right on every f**Iing issue but that professor makes me feel stupid for thinking it.."

Enter J.D. Winegarden.

A more prominent attorney I warned George. A professor of law at Michigan State University I informed him..

George came armed with all the ammunition necessary to debate the issues of the day for the first show with J.D.

We went to lunch afterward and you could tell George was absolutely pleased with himself.

"You had me thinking this was gonna be really fun," George told me. "I didn't need to study." 

J.D. Winegarden joined us for a lunch later after another show and was essentially asked to leave the restaurant by the owner who had been listening. "You think I'm getting rich, here, you can have my restaurant," the owner shouted in response to J.D.'s weak argument to George's points during their debate.

J.D. had this to say in reflecting on his memories of George Moss: " I’ve become quite a private person since what is going on recently in the world .  But I can say how much I respected  George Moss .While we disagreed on just about everything political excepting  the importance of the 13th Amendment and the Shameless Despicable Dred Scott Supreme Court Decision! He was an honorable gentleman and treated me as the same We were good friends. He was  a giving person .He was far from the lying conservative rabbles in today’s world . I never got to ask him what he thought of Trump's character!"

I AM READY FOR 2026, HAVING SURVIVED ANOTHER YEAR. 

We take life for granted, but we should take death for granted too, death is more certain than life.

Everybody now living will not be living one day, and every day of our living is a reminder that one day we will not be living, that we are really living to die.  Every day that we live, our death is drawn closer to our life, and death, at some point, will overtake our life.   

We are all walking in the “valley” of the “shadow of death,” and we should fear all evil if we are walking alone, especially the evil that lurks, both actively and passively, in our own souls, in our own spirits, and in our own minds.

As the present year is winding down, it is winding down to be replaced by the new year, 2026.  

The new year, as was the case with this year, will come with the good, the bad, and the ugly, all coming as one, on what is a continuous journey, until the end. 

Having been on this journey for a while, what I have learned along the way is that you really are not supposed to have peace with this world (this world will never be a peaceful world), but to have peace in a non-peaceful world.

Bring on 2026!

THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST DESPICABLE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DEALING WITH IN THIS COUNTRY IN HIS ATTEMPT TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN, SOME REAL SCUM BAGS. 

(Part 1 of a 3-part series)

The American people, by and large, have yet to pick up on how diabolical, evil, and cold heartedly wicked these people are that President Trump has to deal with every day.  

Not only are these people Trump’s mortal enemies, but the mortal enemies of this country, determined to bring both President Trump, and this country down, from within.  

These are not what would be called Sunday School Teachers, but dyed-in-the-wool lunatics who are on a search and destroy mission.  They want to destroy this country, and because they want to do so, they want to destroy Donald Trump.

It is not the other way around.

These enemies of Donald Trump today were not his enemies prior to June 2025 when Trump came down that escalator in Trump Tower and announced his candidacy for President of the United States.

Trump’s announcement of his candidacy is not what set his enemies off, what set his political enemies off was that he won, and who he won against.

Before election day, November 8, 2016, Trump’s candidacy was viewed as mild entertainment, the entertainment crowd’s analysis of what was really happening being stymied by Trump doing something that had never been done before, winning a presidential election with no prior political, or military, experience.

Those who were amused by Trump’s candidacy, having viewed it as having little other than entertainment value, stopped being amused and entertained on election day.  His stunned opponents realized on election day that they had been duped, actually that they had been dopes, giving this political newcomer all of that free air time because Trump’s appearances on TV boosted television ratings.  

That became ancient history November 9, 2016.

(Tomorrow, part 2, “Trump, once elected, had to be stopped — from ruining what were preexisting political plans that were in the works”)

George on Rumble via All Points TV:  Katherine Clark ,Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag

Thursday, Jan. 1, 2025

 Out with the old, in with the new. This week, we said goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026. According to a YouGov survey, roughly three in 10 Americans make a New Year’s resolution or set specific goals for the year ahead.

Goals and resolutions have power because they turn hope into strategy and aspiration into action. When anchored to clear values and purpose, goal-setting becomes one of the most effective tools for personal change, better decision-making, and long-term impact.

So let me offer a suggestion — but only if you’re interested in greater peace, emotional stability, clearer thinking, and a stronger sense of purpose. If living with less anxiety and more direction doesn’t appeal to you, then feel free to tune out for the next minute.

According to the Barna Group, 84% of practicing Christians say they want to read the Bible more. 

Yet desire alone isn’t enough. The same research shows that only about 25% of self-identified Christians read the Bible more than once a week.

And it’s that 25% who consistently report greater peace, clearer direction, and a deeper sense of meaning in life. The difference isn’t intention — it’s consistent action.

So here’s my suggestion: resolve to regularly read the Bible this year. And along with that suggestion, I have an invitation. Join me on a daily journey through Scripture with the Stand on the Word Bible reading plan. It takes just 10 to 15 minutes a day, Monday through Saturday. In two years, you won’t simply have read the entire Bible — you’ll have absorbed God’s word in a structured, meaningful way.

Over the past two years, I had the privilege of leading about 24,000 people through this plan.

 And here’s what many of them had to say:

One participant wrote, “This is the first time I’ve ever completed reading the entire Bible. I started many times before, but lack of understanding made me quit. The daily videos were the key.”

Another shared, “I have never read all the books of the Bible before. I am so glad I took this challenge.”

And another said simply, “This is the first time I’ve read the entire Bible. I’ve learned so much.”

Others emphasized how manageable the plan felt. “The two-year plan made reading the Bible possible for the first time — it wasn’t rushed,” one participant said. Another added, “This plan has made daily Bible reading doable and enjoyable.”

But there was more than knowledge gained. Many described real life change. “Stand on the Word gives me peace and strength to start my day,” one person wrote. Another said, “It keeps me grounded in the word in a very chaotic world.” And still another shared, “This daily reading has brought clarity to my thoughts and peace to my heart.”

One comment stood out: “Stand on the Word has been my anchor when I felt alone. It strengthened my faith and reduced my anxiety.”

If you’d like to join me on this journey, simply text the word BIBLE to 67742.

A new year brings a new opportunity. Make the most of 2026. Commit just 10 to 15 minutes each day to God’s word — and you may be amazed at what God does in your life.

PS  —  be encouraged  — Jesus promised, "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).

Washington Watch is a nationally syndicated show hosted by Tony Perkins that airs on Metro Flint News/Talk Radio daily at 5 am. He’s the fourth (and longest serving) President of the Family Research Council. He’s been President since 2003 and is one of the nation’s leading conservative voices.

 Let’s make something very perfectly clear to Christians and non Christians religious and not so religious. Let’s stop with the hatred, and animosity over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ will not, repeat, will not take a stand either way. It was a very senseless ungodly killing. It took away a human being, a father, a husband, a family member, and friend. Let’s all stop, and appreciate one another!

 May God keep blessing you George! (George's Reply: He will. I am the favorite George in His Index. Smile.)

Lynn Dabiels

I see that the left is not interested in figuring out where they are wrong. They are not interested in the citizens of this country. They are only interested in power and that is not good.I pray that the new Trump administration is strong enough to continue their momentum...  Listening to people like the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois as well as Kamala and the liberal brainless it appears that this coming year will be interesting. 

 Charles Harris

Mr. Moss, my last go-round teaching, I had a kid in my class wearing "Sons of Anarchy", clothing, and crying openly the entire period. 14 years old. I asked him what was wrong; no reply. Being as I have degrees in both Social Work AND Child Psychology, on top of 51 YEARS of experience, I reported him to the Administrator (who happened to be a Black female). She did me the courtesy of actually listening to me, but then, just "blew me off". Two weeks later, they took a gun off the kid. My considered opinion is that the trend toward, "tolerance", in addition to the fear of being sued, has created a climate in our schools where no one wants to "accuse", anyone's child of anything. I actually saw this coming way back in 1978, when I was still in college, working as a Substitute teacher to make money. "Laquanisha-with-the-Fingernails", has the entire public education system in America, everywhere, in total retreat.

 ============================

LETTER TOTHE EDITOR:

In a response to Richard Wagonlander’s Sept. 13 (Facebook) post about Mott Community College’s Board of Trustees, Flushing Mayor Joe Karlichek responded with some claims that merit further examination. I’m an English professor at Mott and a Flushing resident. 

Karlichek writes, “Why don’t you explain to the community how Dale Weighill, sitting County Commissioner & VP of Mott Community College is pushing for you to replace one of their board members? A guy who is paid $180,000-plus tax paid salary between both jobs.” 

Aside from this sounding like sour grapes because Karlichek lost an August primary to Weighill, Karlichek’s statement is misleading. Weighill is not “VP of Mott Community College.” Weighill is the Associate Vice President of Institutional Advancement. Mott has one VP, and that’s Jason Wilson (Vice President, Student Academic Success). Weighill is one of three associate VPs at Mott, which also has four assistant vice presidents. 

As for Weighill’s salary at Mott, he earns a going rate for his position and there’s nothing in his contract that prohibits him from holding public office. Karlichek writes, “Why don’t you explain to the community that MCC graduates (one) out of (five) students.”

Karlichek is using statistics to mislead, something we English teachers try to teach our students to avoid. The average two-year graduation rate for community colleges (CCs) in the United States is 13 percent. That puts Mott well above the national average, on par with many CCs in Michigan, and well ahead of many others in our state.

 Additionally, all CCs face obstacles to raising their two-year graduation rates. For one thing, many students transfer out of CCs to complete their education elsewhere without applying for graduation from their CC, which counts against the school's graduation rate  — even when those transfer students have earned 60 credits or more (the equivalent of an associate degree) from their CC.  Another factor is that CCs are commuter institutions that attract many non-traditional students, students who are 24 years old and older.

These students have family and work obligations that are difficult to navigate while attending college. (These students are heroes, by the way)

Because of the complexity of their lives, it is nearly impossible for students at CCs to graduate in two years.  Karlichek writes, “Why don’t you explain to the community why MCC, with the lowest graduating rate, has nearly the highest cost to attend?” Lowest graduation rate among what? Certainly not among CCs in Michigan, where several CCs have graduation rates in the teens. Highest cost among what? According to the State of Michigan, the average CC tuition and fees for one year is $4,816. At Mott, it’s $5,456. Of the 32 CCs in Michigan, 12 have average tuition of $5,000 or more, and there are five with tuition higher than Mott’s. And if Karlichek means that Mott’s the most expensive college in town, he’s way off base. UM-Flint’s tuition is roughly $27,000 per year. Kettering is $44,380 annually.

Karlichek writes, “Why don’t you explain to the community why MCC, who collects millions in federal funds is not meeting the accreditation expectations and standards?”

These are just lies.  Mott is a fully accredited institution in good standing with the Higher Learning Commission, its accrediting body.

Also, like every institution of higher education that receives federal monies, Mott submits to an independent audit annually for compliance with Title IV programs  — to which federal funds are linked. The audit also includes the college’s finances. Mott is in compliance and all funds from the federal government are accounted for.

Karlichek writes, “I can go on if you like, but these are just starters.”

A list of concerns with evidence would be welcome. Karlichek finishes with this: “MCC is in trouble. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity. Is this something you are subscribing to?”

In what kind of trouble is Mott in, exactly?  Mott’s not failing in any way.

The staff, administrators, and faculty members at Mott  — my colleagues  — are working constantly to ensure that Mott remains a going concern, and we take pride in being Genesee County's anchor institution.

 We’re always thinking of our obligations to stakeholders and how we can meet the needs of every community we serve. We’ve emerged from COVID a stronger, more resilient institution than we were before, and our enrollment numbers increase every semester.

 And for what it’s worth, no one at Mott does the same thing over and over again. We are constantly innovating, always striving to anticipate the needs of our students and stakeholders  — and we’re doing so in one of the poorest counties in the U.S., while being attacked by people who know absolutely nothing about how institutions of higher education are run.

 If Karlichek thinks that Mott’s in trouble, he needs to cite his sources.  Also for what it's worth, in his Sept. 13 post, Richard Wagonlander called out Mott Board of Trustees Chair Andy Everman for his sexism, which has been on display since January 2023, when Everman became chair. Thanks, Richard Wagonlander. I appreciate that.

LETTER TOTHE EDITOR:

I just finished watching the Mott College board of trustees' meeting of last night. The first word that popped into my head was "megalomania." I finally have a descriptive for Andy Everman. 

He is determined to create the "college of the future" at Mott College, without any reference to input from other strategic planners, or community input. When he spoke against the strategic planning process that was going forward at the college, he said he wanted to allow the new college president to lead the process. 

Alas! That was not his plan. It was to intrude his own megalomania and sense of power into planning for the future of Mott College. No one else has a role in the plan, unless they are nodding heads and applauding his posturing.

Some of the things he proposes may be good, or they may be unworkable. They may not fit into what the college is able to do, given available resources.  Most importantly, they do not include input from others outside his board cohort.  

The public has no role. The faculty has no role.

 The administration is expected to do the research and bring the vision back to him. It is the Andy Everman exploration of ways to force his vision on the rest of us. Sort of a dictatorship kind of thing. 

Remember to vote all the way down the ballot. BABs for Democracy will be endorsing three candidates next week. One of them will not be Andy Everman. We need to save Mott Community College.

On Thursday, June 20 and Friday, June 21, 2024 communications from multiple sources were received by the Metro Police Authority regarding a planned protest at the Redwood Steakhouse which was to take place at 5 pm on June 21st. The sources indicated that there may be various reasons for the protest and the numbers were unknown.

The Metro Police Authority takes an operational approach of proactive policing whenever possible. This is equally important for planned or special events since our resources are limited. By planning for such events pubic safety can be maintained more effectively and efficiently.

In order to effectively maintain the safety for those participating in the protest as well as vehicular traffic and surrounding businesses it is vital that we are able to clearly define where a protest can lawfully occur. This information was relayed to the protest organizer on Friday, June 21st prior to the start of the protest. The protest occurred without incident and public safety for all was maintained.

LETTER TOTHE EDITOR:

Dear Genesee Township Residents: 

After 12 years of serving at the township first as your Chief of Police,  and the past eight years as your elected treasurer, I’ve decided to retire and will not be seeking re-election. As police chief I worked to protect your families safety and as treasurer I have worked to protect and grow the township’s financial resources. 

My son Andrew Sorensen is now seeking the office of treasurer to replace me. Andrew shares my philosophy of finances and public service and will maintain the high level of service we provide at the township treasury office.

Andrew has an advanced college degree, has served several years on the planning commission for the City of Mt. Morris, has worked at the Flint Public Library for several years,  and he is currently serving as Deputy Treasurer for Genesee Township.

Andrew’s experience in all these areas of public service will give him the advantage of being able to perform his duties at the highest level on day one of his term in office, and he will bring fresh new ideas as the next generation as an elected official

. 

Please vote for Andrew Sorensen on August 6th for Genesee Township Treasurer.

WHY IS IT 

*****************

TONYA BURNS is the only one on city council really fighting for the people, besides Pfeiffer who is also on the recall chopping block. Jerri Winfrey-Carter seems too nice to take a stand against the Mayor and the Moose is out of control. The new guy, Jarrett, is too mild and meek. A recall against Burns and a recall against Pfeiffer really scares me. I think the Mayor and the Moose are afraid of losing control over all that money in the city coffers!

*****************

I REALLY ENJOYED your Editor's Notebook guy with the nice write-up on Goodrich's guardian angel. Nice prediction. I even tuned in and I don't like football much. I have not watched a high schol game since I was in high school 40 years ago. I cried when Goodrich got that touchdown with the guardian angel's big fella supplying the blocking to power his teammate over the goal line. I do now believe in angels.

*****************

WHY DO YOU KEEP putting that ugly mug of Art Woodson on the front page so often? Just so you know, when I see him, I click off your newspaper. He's bad for your business.

*****************

THE MAYOR OF FLINT is doing a great job, just fabulous. Flint has never looked so good and all these new jobs are exciting. He says crime is down, too. Four on the council love him, four hate him. I don't get the haters. Maybe all of them want to run for Mayor next time and they are trying to make him look bad.

WOW. I was shocked by your front page story today (Tuesday, June 25, 2024) about the proposed Mega Site in Mundy Township. It was a lengthy and in-depth report into the controversy out there. I live nearby in Swartz Creek and now intend to get involved to stop the Flint Genesee Group from getting $250 million of our tax dollars without telling anyone what they will be doing with all that cash. How can that happen? Let them use the $10 million they've already received but don't be bringing factories that will pollute our area!

*****************

TONYA KETZLER thinks she will get sued for opposing the Mega Site. Are you kidding me. You must have misquoted her. Otherwise, she needs to be thrown out of office. I hope someone is running against her for Mundy Township Supervisor.

*****************

THANKS FOR MAKING PUBLIC what's going on with the Mega Site in Mundy Township. Your story about Monday night's (June 24, 2024) meeting is the first media report that's in-depth with facts and information on how they are trying to use our tax dollars to do all this in secret. They will tell us what they're going to build after they get $250 million more of our tax dollars? Are you serious.

FLINT (CCN) — Newly-elected U.S. Senator Ellisa Slotkin of Holly and State Board of Education President Dr. Pamela Pugh were the keynote speakers Saturday during an International Women's Day event in Downtown Flint.

Delrico Lloyd, Chairman of the Genesee County Board of Commissioners, had high praise for the group when joining more than 400 people who showed up to protest the Donald Trump administration at Wilson Park on Kearsley Street, near the UM-Flint campus.

"Right here in Flint was one of the events going on around the country," Lloyd said. "What a beautiful crowd. What an awesome crowd."

Similar events around the state took place in nearby Macomb County, the City of Detroit and in west Michigan at the DeVoss Center in Grand Rapids.

International Women's Day is held annually on March 8 to commemorate the fight for equality and liberation by women

The women's rights movement is celebrated but the 2025 theme was to "acknowledge the progress made since the original commemoration in 1911" while noting "a lot still needs to be accomplished, if we are to create a sustainable future for women and girls."

All of the events this year, however, turned into protests by cuts President Donald Trump is making to federal programs and federal jobs. Like Flint, every event featured lots of picket signs by protestors who oppose Republican Trump and support Democrats.

Lloyd is a Democrat who is Chief Deputy Assistant to UAW International President Shawn Faim.

Slotkin is a Democrat who left her seat in the U.S. House to run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated at the end of the year by Senator Debbie Stabenow. Slotkin defeated Mike Rogers of Detroit who formerly served in the U.S. House when living in Brighton. It was one of the most expensive races in Congress.

Dr. Pugh is also a Democrat. She was re-elected earlier this year as President of the State Board of Education after losing in the primary to eventual new Congresswoman Kristin McDonald-Rivet who replaced retiring Dan Kildee of Flint Township.

Dr. Pugh is the former chief health advisor in the City of Flint during the water crisis.

She said: "A woman standing alone is fierce, but when we stand together, we are a force!  Honored to have participated in the Flint International Women’s Day Rally, organized by the incredible Samantha Lawrence Siebert and Megan Ropeta,   where women united to fight for equity, justice, and a future where no one is left behind. Let’s continue to uplift, protect, and empower each other — because together, we are unstoppable!"

Senator Slotkin said she told her daughters "everything would be okay" when Trump was elected the first time but added: "I can't say that this time."

The Genesee County Election Commission hasn't yet scheduled a hearing date on recall language submitted against Flint's 8th Ward city councilman. I've advised Lisa Pasjberg that her language is dead on arrival to get rid of Dennis Pfeiffer as her representative on the Flint City Council.

Her language says: "Councilman Dennis Pfeiffer was censured by the city council for calling another member a 'fake ass Republican'  another a 'big piece of shit' and told other colleagues to shut up." 

She didn't like it that our front page story revealing her recall effort noted that language must be clear and concise. We quoted two English teachers as saying her language was a "run on sentence" and "completely illiterate."

Not our words. Words of people who specialize in determining "clarity" which also goes to words being spelled incorrectly or a comma being in the wrong place. Blunders that render denials at hearings in front of election commissions tasked with ruling on language submitted in recall attempts anywhere in our state.

So my opinion expressed here today in this space where I spew my opinions is that her recall language is dead on arrival. It must be rejected under state law.

The facts cited in a news story on our front page a few days ago is that two English teachers we consulted say it's not "clear and concise" because it's a "run on sentence" and "completely illiterate."

The last hearing on a recall attempt earlier this month in front of the local election commission was to review eight sets of language submitted to recall Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley. I didn't bother to read any of it because the address of the lady behind the effort lived in Flint Township, not the City of Flint. I said so on the radio the very next day after looking her up because I had never heard of her.

I only exchanged texts with Lisa Pasjberg via Messenger earlier today when inviting her to appear on The Morning Gazette Radio Show to explain why she wants to dump Councilman Pfeiffer. Her profile on Facebook says she works for the Flint Registry and that's all I know about her except that she isn't very good at grammar.

Lisa rejected my interview invitation. 

Probably needs to brush up on her English skills before going public on the radio.

One question I wanted to ask was this: With all our tax dollars being dumped into work being done at the Flint Registry, I'm surprised how the boss there can allow one of the organization's employees to be involved in politics. What do you think? Drop me a message on my Hot Line at (810) 771-8421, find me on Facebook and drop me a note via Messenger or simply e-mail me at morninggazetteradioshow@gmail.com.

How do I know tax dollars are going into the Flint Registry? How about $39 million since 2016?

I'd like a report on what they've done with all that cash. I do know they are certainly not teaching any English classes to the employees.

THERE WAS AN INSURRECTION WHICH TOOK PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT IT WAS NOT ON  “JANUARY 6,” THE INSURRECTION WAS ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020 WITH THE STOLEN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

 (Part 3 of a 3-part series, “Joe Biden should be impeached in the House, and tried in the Senate, convicted in the Senate, therein removed from office, and then tried in a civil court for treason.  General Mark Milley should have been court-martialed for treason, for his own role in the treasonous debacle in Afghanistan.”)

The above subtitle, admittedly, is a long subtitle, the purpose of which is to, first, point out what it takes for a President of the United States, or a former President of the United States, to be placed on trial for what he did, or didn’t do, while in the presidential office.  

The purpose for the length of the subtitle is also to link the charge of treason against Joe Biden to the charge of treason against the now retired former head of the Pentagon, General Mark Milley. 

Both of these political scoundrels, Biden and Milley, belong in federal prison for treason against this country, based upon their actions in the Afghanistan war.

We have traitors in every corridor of power in the federal government, in Washington, but I will limit the reach here to the arch traitors in the Executive Branch, although this treason against this country is more widespread than just the treason in the Executive Branch of government, much more widespread than that.

Let me start with correcting what is an egregious misunderstanding of what the Constitution requires for putting a President of the United States, or a former President of the United States, on trial in a court of law for what he did, or didn’t do, while in the presidential office.  

There is a need first and foremost to correct this outrageously incoherent misunderstanding of these justices on the Supreme Court who are now seeking to determine the extent of a President’s immunity from prosecution. 

I can save them some time; there is no presidential immunity from prosecution.

The very idea is not only absurd and outrageous, it is blasphemous to the rule of law, and to the Constitution which is the "ruler" of the law in this country, not these Justices on the Supreme Court.

What it takes to make a formal charge against a President, or a former President, in a court of law for what the President did, or didn’t do, while in office, according to the Constitution, is the President's impeachment in the House, and the President's conviction in the Senate based upon specific charges that are clearly stated in Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution.

I will pause here to tell these lawyers like Alan Dershowitz, Laurence Tribe, and the rest of them that they are misrepresenting the Constitution in stating that Article II, Section 4's provisions are about impeachment.

It's a common mistake, and I want every constitutional scholar in this country to pay attention, the Constitution does not specify any charges for impeachment.  The charges listed in Article II, Section 4, are charges necessary for removal, not necessary for impeachment.  

No charges are specified for impeachment in the Constitution.

It is a mistake that has been made throughout this country’s history.  I am here to correct this egregious mistake!

There is so much that is wrong in this country, so much that is unconstitutional, placing a former President on trial in these kangaroo courts, for instance.

This judge in New York, Juan Merchan, is anxiously awaiting the presidential election returns before passing sentence on Donald Trump’s trial that was held in Merchan’s court.  

It’s a constitutional outrage that there was even a trial in Merchan's court.  And for judge Juan Merchan to believe he has sentencing authority in this case is grounds enough for his disbarment.  

This country has idiots like Juan Merchan who are in charge of the legal system in this country who are not dispensers of justice but destroyers of justice.in this country.

I ended part 2 by pointing out Joe Biden had planned to end the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan on the 20th anniversary of the 911 attack on this country, as if in celebration of this attack on this country, or maybe even worse, as a signal to Iranian leaders who have been empowered by the Biden administration, that the present leaders of this country are all in on these external attacks on this country.

There was such an outcry by the American against the choice of the 911 date for the completion of this country's withdrawal from Afghanistan that Joe Biden was forced to change the date. 

Still, the withdrawal was chaotic, a withdrawal which ended up providing cover for leaving $85 billion of military equipment behind, in the hands of the very Taliban extremists this country had engaged in battle for the last 20 years.

The American government ended up arming the Taliban soldiers that the United States’ soldiers had been sent to Afghanistan to fight.  No one was fired for it, no one was held to account. 

Go figure.

“None Dare Call It Treason,” but what other name is there for it?

Today, these foreign soldiers can fight us using our own weapons to do so. 

Google censors erased my earlier article on the subject from my computer screen several days ago in which I commented on what British General Richard Kemp said, which is that both Joe Biden and General Mark Milley should have been court-martialed for the way in which they handled America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

You can't court-martial a President, but I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of the former British commander of British forces in Afghanistan.

If you thought it was strange for Joe Biden to withdraw the American military from Afghanistan before evacuating American citizens from the country, and evacuating Afghans who had helped allied soldiers, and before evacuating Muslim women who had cast aside their Burkas, if you thought the Biden strategy was strange, it was not only strange, it was treasonous, deliberately so.

No one should forget Joe Biden making a point of looking at this watch every time one of the 13 last fallen American soldiers in Afghanistan was brought off the plane in a casket, this man showing his disdain for their sacrifice.

Read chapter 9 of David Horowitz’s book, “Final Battle,” pages 171-190, for the full picture of this man's treason, to see more fully the kind of person Joe Biden is, a Swamp Rat who has been in Washington for 50 years, a politician who is mean, evil, and rotten to the core.   This man does not have the moral, legal, and political, authority to ask anyone to fight for this country. 

Free the political prisoners who were locked up without trial for protesting this man’s unlawful, fake election.

The myth of the peaceful transfer of power

Friday, Nov. 29, 2024

Hey y'all, I was going to give flowers to a very deserving person in my life but my heart has led me in another direction. Can we talk for a minute?

 I won't keep you long. This has been heavy on my heart for a while now.   

I've lost a lot of friends over this election.

 I've been called an asshole, a racist, a dumb ass mindless Democrat, a puppet and a host of other names that I dont care to regurgitate. I responded in kind and I can assure you, my demeanor is quite different from that laid back person that you have come to know, love and respect.   

Don't get me wrong, I give it as good as I take it, but it takes a lot to bring it out. I make no excuses. This election brought out the worst of most of us, me included. Some of y'all were much worse than others! Lol  I take full responsibility for every word that I said. I even apologized to a few people, not out of guilt but moreso because I allowed them to get to me to react as I did.

It's time to move on. Here's the thing, though. Trump supporters are finding it easy to move on because your guy won.

Had he lost, things would've been drastically different. That's not supposition. It was all being laid out just in case he lost. The fake votes, the machines, the folks working the machines and so on. I am still not ok with Trump becoming the next president. As time goes on, I see exactly why he ran. Jail time was looming had he not run/won. He knew it. As a sitting president, the parameters change. I also see all of his cabinet selections and can't believe what I'm reading. Most are simply unqualified to lead those cabinet positions but the one that really got me...trying to bypass FBI background checks! Smh. But, I digress.

My point to this particular post is this; the true friends that I have, whether Democratic or Republican, are still my friends. We didn't and don't agree politically but the respect was never lost. I had to check some of my friends hard because they straddled a racial line and we're so disrespectful with their comments. Did I snap back? Absolutely! I make no apologies and I said what I said. I stand on it. 

It was my hope that they took a step back and simply assessed what was said. To assess WHY I commented the way that I commented. If you post something publicly, and I answer respectfully, but your friends check me and call me a racist...and you don't defend me...and you agree with your friend, you're just as bad as your friend. 

When I go after your friend and you side with the friend, well dammit, it is what it is. That's the same friend that will cut your throat but I'm the friend that would've given you bandages. 

The true friend will always defend your integrity... unquestionably defend you. So then, there are the folks that were more friendly than a true friend. Those are the fair weather friends that you just gotta let them go. They've shown you EXACTLY who they are and what they are about. You can't even be mad at them because they are showing you EXACTLY who they are. You just gotta accept it and move on.

I've been blessed to have the same core of friends from my childhood, high school, college and European experiences. It's still a relatively small circle. Win, lose or draw, they will always have my back. Never any doubt BUTTTT, this election was quite challenging with a few.

But guess what? We're still cool as penguins balls at the North Pole! 

Now, before y'all start bashing folks, it's not about that. It's not about Republicans versus Democrats anymore. I'm talking about people that you perceived as friends. You don't even know the number of folks that stayed silent and just observed everyone making fools of themselves for the whole world to see. 

I have quite a few that never said anything publicly but clearly they have a lot to say.   I'm just a guy that can't nor won't bite my tongue. I don't intentionally try to hurt another person's feelings.

When I hear so many vile and negative comments, it's just damn near impossible to stay silent.

I don't try to stay neutral. If I'm your friend, we ride together, we die  together, bad boys for life!

 That's how I roll. It's not in my DNA to be a fair weather friend. If we're cool...we're always going to be cool. If not...well, you'll know it almost immediately. You can see it all over my face long before I utter a single word. 

See, when folks call ALL Democrats idiots, dumb, mindless..i take offense to that, especially recognizing who they are actually supporting.

Yea, that was a Trump jab! I had to sneak one in!

Lol  So folks, if you have friends that you've been friends with for 30 years, don't let one single man or one election ruin that friendship. Y'all just had a political difference. You just gave Trump too much control over your life. I often had to say, "Let's agree to disagree and move on!"

If they chose to keep on with the BS, okay, I'm that guy. Never argue with a writer that loves research.

You'll never win. You'll only get more frustrated! Lol I could literally write a book on  the responses that I was getting, especially when I responded to factual information. I was also amazed at the number of folks that grew these humongous Internet nuts and felt that they could say whatever they wanted to say. Nah, that didn't work out well.

 You picked the right one. That day was your lucky day.  Now, let's hold the new president accountable. Keep your true friendships near and dear. Or, did your friend get exposed?

 Y'all stay safe folks. Have a safe holiday. By the way, do folks know the true history of Thanksgiving? Asking for a native American friend.
