UNITED INTERDEPENDENT GLOBAL ACTIVISTS
The Way To Peace! #299
"The Pomp and Ceremony Surrounding The State of The Union Address is always Very Impressive," Surpassed only by The Inauguration Ceremony of The President of The United States," and "Is The Most Important Political Event to Take Place Annually," with "Members of All Three Branches of The United States Government Of The People, By The People and For The People, In Attendance," under "One Roof!"
And, As President Trump,"The 45th President of The United States of America," and "His New Administration," Continue Their Peaceful Transition of Power" from The Administration of Former President Obama, and, at a time, "When The World is In Need of Leaders" who are "Willing to Build Bridges of Diplomacy to One Another," The State of The Union Address is "An Excellent Opportunity for The President to Extend Branches of Peaceful Diplomacy to All The Nations of The World, who Believe in Peaceful Coexistence," and "Build Positive Relationships and Alliances with Leaders of The Global Community" who are "The Peacemakers and Voices of Reason of The Earths Populace!" And, In Doing so, "Transcend The Walls of Indifference and Divisiveness" that "Threaten The Peace of The Twenty-First Century!"
"The State of Union Address," was "First Conceived of In The U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 3" as "A Written Report Delivered to The Congress," during "America's First Century!
With America's First President George Washington Delivering "the First Regular Annual Message to A Joint Session of Congress," in New York City, (the Provisional U.S. Capital) on The Eighth of January, 1790!"
"It Became A Major Political Event, during "The Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the Twentieth Century, "In Which The President Reports on The State of The Union," and "Recommends any measures that he believes are necessary and expedient," to "A Joint Session of The U.S. Congress," and "The Citizens of The United States of America on An Annual Basis (in either January or February) via "The Cross Media News and Social Media Universes, Here in The Twenty-First Century!"
"Because This is President Trump's, The 45th President of The United States Of America's, "First State of The Union Address," It is Being Called "An Address to A Joint Session of Congress," Outlining His Administrations Goals!
And, "The President's Speech was Well Written," with "The Appropriate Audience Pleasing Applause Lines, and Platitudes Concerning Coal Miners, Black History Month, Hate Crimes Directed against The Jewish Community, U.S. Relations with Israel, The Keystone and Dakota Pipeline made with American Steel, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, A Trillion Dollar National Infrastructure Plan, Job Creation, Paid Family Leave, Clean Air, Wall Street Gains, De-Regulations, Cycle of Poverty, Cycle of Violence, His Support for NATO and Working with Our Allies, Trust and Support The Law Enforcement Community, Victims of Crime, Trade Deficits, New Trade Agreements, Undocumented Immigrants, Immigration Enforcement, and An Out Reach to The Democratic Party to Help Him, and His Administration, Pass His Proposed Legislation, and Approve of His Policy Goals, and The Confirmation of His Supreme Court Nominee Neil Gorsuch!"
(Interestingly Enough, "The President Did Not Mention either, Russia," or "The News Media During His Speech!" Does that Mean He is Offering an "Olive Branch to The News Media," after "Refusing to Permit Four Major News Organizations CNN, The New York Times, The LA Times and Political from Attending an Informal, On The Record, White House Briefing?")
The President, also "Spoke Strongly of His Make America Great Again Campaign Rhetoric," "The American Spirit," and "Placing American People First!"
This "Evolving Theme," though, "Nationalistic and Isolationist in Nature," is also " Good Applause Rhetoric," and "Pleasing for His Base," and "The Ultra Right Fringe Elements of The Republican Party," and "Traditional Members of The GOP to Hear," and "Drew as Expected a Good Response!"
And, "He also Spoke Very Patriotically and Empathetically about America's Armed Forces," and "United States Navy
Service Member, Chief Special Warfare Operator, William "Ryan" Owens,
36, of Peoria, Illinois, who was Killed,"
in
"An Attack against Al Qaeda Militants" in Central Yemen, "Conducted by
Members of The U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6, that was Very Touching," and "Brought Ryan's Wife Carryn, to Tears!" And "Proposed A Significant Increase in Defense Spending" for the Fiscal Year 2018, Although, "Not A Historic Increase as He has Claimed!"
But, "It is An Increase in The Base Defense Budget of 9.4%, Fifty Two Billion Dollars!"
(It Must Be Noted that William "Ryan's" Father, for whom He was named after, William, "Refused to Meet with President Trump at Dover Air Base," when "His Sons Remains were Being Returned Home to The United States," and has "Called for An Investigation in His Sons Death and The Raid!")
"The Presidents Delivery of The State of The Union Address" was "Well Rehearsed Speech," It was "The Best of Donald Trump!"
And, When You Consider that "He has Never Held Public Office before," and, on "This Special Evening," "He was Speaking Before Eight Members of The Supreme Court, Members of The Joint Chiefs, The U.S. Congress, The Diplomatic Corps, the Cabinet, as well as Important Politicos, Special Guests," and "The Nation at Large," even "A Practiced Speaker, Politician, or Actor," "Might Feel a Little Intimidated," However, "The President overcame Whatever Nervousness, it was Natural for Him to Feel," and "Delivered a Speech that He is No Doubt Proud of," and "I'm Sure that His Supporters Feel the Same," and also "Believe that Their Support of The President has Been Validated!"
"Did He Convince The U.S. as a Whole," that "He Will Be A Unifying, Compassionate, and Knowledgeable Head of State," Who "Cares about Their Welfare," Is "Still to Be Debated!"
And, "Do You Believe The President," When "He said, "It's time to put trivial disputes and fights behind us?"
One Thing that Is Clear is, "President Trump's Challenge" Will Be to "Make Good on All of His Campaign and Policy Promises," Because, "For Better or For Worst, "Action and The Passing of Legislature," that is "Beneficial To All The People," Will Be, "The True Test of His Administration and His Presidency for History Books to Record," and, "If, He is To Be Re-Elected in Four Years!"
And, "We Will have to Wait," "For Better or For Worst," A Year until "The Next State of The Union Address" to Find Out, If, The Presidents "Talking Point's and Campaign Promises," are "Applied Fairly, Justly, Legally, In Unanimity, and Morally, For One and All to Share and Benefit from!
But, "While Very Little" about "President Trump's Successful Campaign to Become President of The United States of America," (with The Exception of His Victory) and "The First Days in Office of His Administration," have "Led One to Believe" that "His Name or Presidency Will Be Remembered or Spoken of," or "Considered to Be" in "The Same Historical or Political Category" as "Former Republican Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, or George Washington, "He has Four Years to Improve The Quality of Life of The American People," and "Make a Positive Difference in The Lives of All The People of The Earth!"
And, That, also, "Applies to The Democratic Party Response," Given by Ex-Governor Steve Beshear of The State of Kentucky! Who was "Very Knowledgeable" and "Instrumental in Bringing The Affordable Care Act to Five Hundred Thousand Kentuckians,"while Governor, and "Proved to Be A Positive Force in Creating Jobs!"
Ex-Governor Beshear was "Convincing when He Spoke about People First and Politics Second," and, "The Twenty Million Americans who have Affordable Health Care" and are "Grateful for This Health Care Coverage!"
However, "The Democrats have To Decide" If, "They are Going to Be Activists, Advocates, Public Servants, and True Representatives Of, By, and For The People," If Not, "They Will Lose The Midterm Elections," and "The Faith of The People!
And, that Applies, "Specifically," to "The Loss of Support of The More than Sixty- Five Million Americans who Voted for Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton," Out Gaining President Trump in Popular Votes by "Almost Three Million Votes!"
(It was "a Sincerely Meaningful and Symbolic Moment" to See "Democratic Women Members of Congress Wearing White in Support of Women's Rights," and "In Memory of The Suffragettes who Fought for Women's Right to Vote," and "Succeeded after a Long and Hard Fought Battle!")
The Saying, "Action Speaks Louder than Words" is "A Simple way to Express This Important Point of View!" And, "The Recent Town Hall Demonstrations have Shown" that "The People have Thrown Down Their Gauntlet," But, "The Challenge is For The Democrats to Pick It Up," and "Build on Mrs. Clinton's Stronger Together Campaign!" There are almost "Sixty-Six Million Votes, in The Balance!"
But, At a Time, "When The Nations of The World Need Leaders to Build Bridges of Diplomacy in The Twenty-First Century," to "Bridge The Impediments that Lie in The Way of Working Out Challenges," "Challenges that Present Themselves Continuously on a Daily Basis," from "One Nation to Another," and as "Each New Administration Comes to Power!"
"The Asian Equation Presents such a Challenge!" With Nations Aligning with One Another." or "Against One Another," or "In Defense of Ones Own Sovereignty!" One and All, "Making Moves" as If, "In a Regional Chess Match!" However, "The Reality is," There are "Billions of Lives a Stake," and "Not just In Asia!" It's a Worldwide Concern" that "Affects Us All!"
"The Asian Equation is Complicated with The United States Standing One Hundred Per Cent with Japan, as "President Trump Stated" at a Press Event on The of Eleventh of February, 2017 with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, "In a Demonstration of Solidarity between The Two Nations," after "North Korea Launched a Ballistic Missile into The Sea of Japan," on Friday, The Tenth of February 2017!
And, with U.S. Secretary of State Tillerson "Making a Joint Declaration with South Korea and Japan," in Germany, "Condemning The North Korean Ballistic Missile Launch!"
And, "The Assassination of Kim Jong-nam," the Older Half-Brother of Kim Jong-un, The Chairman of the Workers Party, and Military Dictator of North Korea," on Monday, The Thirteenth of February, 2017, who was "Poisoned with a VX Nerve Agent," in Kuala Lumpur International Airport, in Malaysia, in Broad Daylight, "A Shadow Continues to Loom over North Korea," and "Punctuates the Negative Image that North Korea and Chairman Kim Jong-un have Developed in The Eyes of The World!" A Nation that has "Been Rife with Assassination!"
(Global Cross Media News Reports, Seoul Lawmakers were Told that after Consolidating Power in North Korea, "A Hit was Issued on The Life of Kim Jong-nam, in 2011," by The Newly Self Coronated Chairman of the Workers Party, Kim Jong-un!"
"A Previous Attempt was Made on Kim Jong-nam's Life, in 2012," According to Lee Cheol-woo, the Chairman of The National Assembly's Intelligence Committee!
And, "Kim Young- woo, a South Korean Legislator," who Leads the National Assembly's National-Defense Committee, is "Reported to have said" that, "Kim had His Brother Assassinated" because of "A Perceived Threat," However, "He Did Not Back up This Statement with any Proof!"
And, "Without the Presence of Absolute Truth Presented in An International Court of Law," These Claims "Can Not Be Substantiated!" Kim Jong-nam was Initially Considered to Be "The Heir Apparent to Kim Jong-il)
"Four People, Including Two Women have Been Detained," and "Malaysian Authorities Claim" that "Four Additional Suspects," have "Flown Out of the Country the Same Day as The Murder of Kim Jong-nam Occurred!"
(The North Korea's State Run News Agency, The Korean Central News Agency, (KCNA) has Claimed, on Thursday, The Twenty-Third of February, 2017, "The Malaysian Investigation" into "The Assassination of The Estranged Half-Brother of North Korean Leader, Kim Jong-un," is "Full of Holes!" And, "The biggest responsibility for his death rests with the government of Malaysia as the citizen of the DPRK died in its land.")
"Since The Assassination of Kim Jong-nam," Global Cross Media
Reports have Surfaced that "North Korea has Executed Five Senior State
Security Officials," because "They," supposedly, "Revealed False
Reports to North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un!"
"The Specific
Details and Nature of These Reports is Presently Unknown," However, They
May Be Related to "The Dismissal of Former State Security Chief Kim Won
Hong," in January, 2017!
"The
Origin of These Execution Reports" Came from "a Private Briefing Held by
The South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS) to Lawmakers," Lee
Cheol Woo, a South Korean Lawmaker said, on Monday, The Twenty-Seventh
of February 2017.
The Five Senior State Security Officials were, supposedly, "Killed by Anti-Aircraft Guns!"
"It's a Human Tragedy" that "Death, Violence, and Destruction" has "Followed The Nation of North Korea for Too Many Years to Report," even "Before The Korean War Began," on The Twenty-Fifth of June, 1950!"
And, As "The Asian Equation Unveils Itself," You Can See "How Important it is To Establish A Balance of Power between Nations," with "China and North Korea on One Side of The East Asian Part of The Equation," (However Reluctantly) and "Japan and South Korea on "The Other Side," (However Reluctantly). And, "Then Add in The Taiwan Factor!"
And, "Then of Course, Bring in The U.S. Element!"
"The U.S. Factor is also "A Delicate Balance of Support and Defense of Japan, and South Korea, While also Expressing Its Support of Taiwan, "Which President Xi Jinping of China Does Not Appreciate in The Slightest Bit," as "Noted by The Complaint Made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi!"
(Remember when "President-Elect Trump Placed a Call to President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, on Friday, The Second of December, 2017, and China's Immediate Reaction of Protest!" (China has Vehemently Declared The Province of Taiwan to Be a a Part of China/One China Policy)
The Value of U.S. China Trade has Been Estimated to Be 659, 000, 000, 000, In 2015! Is President Trump Willing to Risk Losing This! What is "His End Game Strategy!" There are "Important Issues of Climate Warming" and "The Construction of Artificial Islands," that "Still have to Be Addressed!"
"The Asian Equation" Takes in "A Broad Spectrum of Legal Disputes, and The Law of The Sea Conflicts!"
Such as' The Dispute over The Spratly and Paracel Islands, In which, "An International Court in The Hague," on Tuesday, The Twelfth of July, 2016, "Ruled in Favor of The Philippines against China!" China, "Did Not Participate in This Hearing," and "Rejected Its Ruling!" Which also "Included A Rebuke of China's Construction of Artificial Islands!" And, that "China had Caused "Irreparable Harm" to The Maritime Environment!
(China Based Its Legal Claims on Their Nine-Dash Line Theory)
"This Decision in The Hague" has "Brought New Hope to Other Nations in Southeast Asia and East Asia," such as: Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Taiwan, to Legally and Diplomatically and If Necessary in An International Court of Law, "Establish Their Rights in The South China Sea," as well as "Restrain China from Its Continued Expansion in The Region!"
And, "When You also Add India to The Equation," whose Population and GDP is Challenging China's Dominance in The Region," and "Singapore, and Myanmar, " (Plus Pakistan and Afghanistan in South Asia) "The Overall Balance of Asia is Dependent upon Cooperation, Diplomacy, and a Sensitivity to The Sovereign Rights and Borders of One's Neighbors!"
However, "The Asian Equation" Extends All the Way "To Israel in West Asia, and Palestine!" And, For Decades The Earths Population has Hoped for A Positive Resolve to The Ongoing Conflict between Israel and Palestine! "A Two State Resolution!"
However, "In a Press Conference with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel and President Trump, on Wednesday, The Fifteenth of February, 2017, President Trump said that, "I'm looking at Two State and One State, and I like the one that both parties like."
And, The President Continued, "If Israel and The Palestinians are happy, I'm happy with the one they like the best."
As You Can Imagine "The Palestinian Reaction was Not Favorable" to "A One State Solution" to "Their Conflict with Israel!" And, Fortunately, "Prime Minister Netanyahu to His Credit," "Remained Committed to Working out a Two State Solution!"
And, "Then Add Syria, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and Lebanon" to "The West Asia Equation" and "The Hot Spots and Potential Threats of Conflicts and War Increase in Intensity!" And, One Can Clearly See, "How Important It is, To Totally Uproot and Eliminate The Syndicates of Murderers and Criminals who've Created A Caliphate in The Midst of These Countries!" And, Why The Military Operation and Success of Iraqi, Shiite, Kurdish, U.S. Special Operation Forces, and Coalition Forces, in Mosul" is "An Important Step in Achieving This Goal!"
And, You Can Clearly Understand, "Why The Reach Out and Call for, Cognizant, Compassionate, Inspirational and Experienced, Leaders with Well Thought Out Idea's, Vision, and Thoughts about Resolving Issues of War, Economic Opportunity and Fair Trade, Religious Persecutions, Lack of Equality amongst All Genders, Eliminating Poverty, Climate Warming and Environmental Protection, Racial Discrimination, The Tragic Circumstances of War-Wearied Immigrants and Refugees from War-Torn Nations, Guaranteed Social Security and Universal Health Care, and "For A New Age of Financial Parity and The Pursuit of Happiness For All The People of This Planet Earth, Is so Crucial!"
And "A Call that Must Be Heeded By, To, and For All The People of All Nations," If The Earth is To Find a New State of Universal Equilibre, Peace, Justice, and The Right of One and All to Live as A Free Sovereign People of The World!" Where The Diverse Fabric and Tapestry Of The People, By The People and For The People "Reflects The Majesty and Magnificence of A Limitless Dimensions and New Horizons of A Universe of All Sentient Beings!"
And, From East Asia to West Asia, "The Equation is a Simple But Tried One," Which is "The Golden Rule," "Do unto Others what You would have Them Do unto You!" And, "Nuclear Proliferation, and Imperialistic Acts of Global or Regional Expansion," "Should Not Be on Your List of Priorities!"
And, On The Domestic Side of The U.S. Equation, "Whether You are Pro or Against The Policies or Persona of President
Trump," You have to Ask Yourself, This Simple Question; "Why is The
President of The United States, so Vehemently, Discrediting The U.S.
Intelligence Agencies" and "U.S. News Media for Revealing The Truth?"
"What has Been Revealed about General Flynn," The Presidents Ex-
National Security Adviser, for One Simple Example, "Has Been Verified as
Being The Truth by Gen. Flynn Himself," (For which He has Apologized).
And, "It is Not FAKE NEWS!"
And, "Why hasn't The President
Thanked The U.S. Intelligence Agencies and The U.S. News Media" For
"Uncovering and Revealing This Important News!"
(He Thanked WikiLeaks,
When He was the Republican Nominee For President of The United States,
for Releasing Former Secretary of State Clinton's Illegally Obtained
Emails)
One Thing is For Certain, "We The People, Would Not have
Learned The Truth," Because, General Flynn "Did Not Tell The Whole Truth and
Nothing But The Truth" to "Vice President Pence, or Other Members of
The Trump Administration," (Again, For Which The General has
Apologized).
And, "This is Not a Half Truth, Outright Lie, Leak, or FAKE NEWS,"
"It's The Truth!"
"It Should Be Obvious," by Now, "to President Trump" and "His Administration," that "The More Transparency and Honesty There is," "The Fewer and Fewer Leaks There Will Be!"
And, "It's Not a Matter" of "FAKE NEWS," or "The News Media," as "The President has Taken to saying," That is The Problem, "It's The Lack of Coming Forth with Information that "Would Clarify and Answer so Many Unanswered Questions," and "All The Distractions that Continue to Come Forth on a Daily Basis," that have "Clouded even the Most Serious of Minds from Being Able to Comprehend Exactly What has Transpired," that has "Led Us to This Place and Time," and "What is Going on!"
And, "Attacks upon The U.S. News Media," and "The U.S. Intelligence
Agencies," "Should Not Be Used as "A Tool of Political Necessity," and, or
"Election Strategy," or Quite Simply, "As A Distraction from The More
Important News of The Day," For "Which We The People Deserve, and Need,"
If "We are To Learn What The Truth is!"
Such as, "Anti-Semitic Crimes along with Crimes against The Muslim Community have Risen Significantly!"
"The Damage Done to at Least One Hundred and Seventy Head Stones in "
Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery, During The President Day Weekend Holiday,
The Eighteenth and Nineteenth of February, 2017, in University City, a
Suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, Plus, "An Alarming Number of Bomb
Threats" that have "Targeted Fifty-Three Jewish Centers, in
The Month of January, 2017 alone, is "Reason Enough to Bring to The
Attention of The People of The United States," that "A Vigilance Must Be
Maintained," by "One and All," and Not Just The Law Enforcement
Community, "to Stop These Hate Crimes from Continuing to Occur!"
And, Global Cross Media Reports are, "Hate Crimes Directed at Muslim Communities have Tripled over The Past Year and a Half, from 2015 thru 2016," and "Must Be Confronted Directly by The Trump Administration" over "a Prolonged Period of Time!" "One Speech a Month Will Not Suffice!" It Will Take a "Concentrated Effort on the Part of President Trump," Who Must Lead the Way to "Stop These Hate Crimes
from Continuing to Escalate!"
And, "These Malicious Act of Violence," Directed at Innocent People," Must Be Condemned Strongly," by "All The People of The Earth," and "All The Leaders of Civilized Nations!"
I sincerely "Do Not Believe" that "To Hate Another Being" is "An
Inborn Condition!" For "A Simplistic Example," How Many Times have You
Seen Children of All Ethnicity, Creeds, Nationalities and Gender"
"Playing Together in a Playground!" Simply, "Enjoying Playing, Whatever
Game They Can Imagine, or have Learned!"
So, "It's Up to We
Adults," Parents and Relatives, along with Religious, Political,
Financial, and Public Officials, Academics, and Professionals of All
Types of Endeavors to, by Example, "Teach The Children" to "Appreciate
and Respect Each Others Civil Rights and Person," and The Law of The
Land, as "They Grow up and Become Adults!"
And, that "The United
States Constitution, Bill of Rights, and The Declaration of
Independence" are "The Guarantors" of "The Civil Rights, Independence,
Freedom, Justice and Pursuit of Happiness For One and All!"
But, Unfortunately, "It Appears As If President Trump and His Administration is Determined, Obsessed, and Committed to Continue Their Attack upon The Fourth Estate," Because, on Friday The Twenty-Fourth of February, 2017, President Trump, "Guaranteed that He Will Receive Volumes of Free
Media Coverage" (over The Weekend), and, "No, The Reason is Not about
Rescinding Guidelines to Protect and Permit Transgender Students from
Choosing The Bathroom of Their Preference," or, "Deporting Undocumented
Immigrants!" "No," Today, "He Barred CNN, The New York Times, Los Angeles
Times, and Politico from Attending An Informal, on The Record, Briefing
at The White House!"
And, It also "Appears as If The President Enjoys Being "A Gadfly," and "Stirring Things
up!" And, When The Weekend Approaches, "He usually Finds Something, An
Issue, or Person, or Organization, that "Will Provide Him," via "His
Pointed Barbs, and Tweets," "The Abundance Public Interest," (and Free News Coverage) that Will
Engage The Cable News, and National News Networks," and, or, "If Possible,
Print News," for at Least, "a Forty-Eight Hour Time Period,"
or "From Friday 'til Monday!"
And, "He has Become Very Good at Knowing What Will Work Best for Him!"
However, at At Time, "When Discontent, Frustration, and Fear is In The
Minds" of "A Great Many American Citizens," This is "Not The Time to
Attempt to Distract The News Media" from "Covering The Important Stories
that Effect The Lives of We The People," Such as; (1) The Frustration
that is on Display at Town Hall Meetings with Republican Members of
Congress Bearing The Brunt of The Frustration, and (2) The Deportation
of Undocumented Immigrants, (3) The Escalation of Hate Crimes in The
U.S. in both Jewish and Muslim Communities, (4) The Military
Operation with Iraqi, Shiite, Kurdish, and U.S. Special Forces and
Coalition Forces to Retake Mosul, and Raqqa," and (5) The Sincere Fear that Millions of Americans have over The Real Possibility that The Affordable Care Act Will Be Repealed, and that They and Their Children Will Lose Their Health Care, just to "Name Several Stories that
are of Importance to The American Public and The Worlds Populace!
And lastly, "The Fourth Estate Deserves Much More Credit than They are
Being Given," by "President Trump and His Administration!"
And,
"With All the Free Press Coverage" that "He has Been the Beneficiary of
All Throughout His Campaign for The Presidency," and "Positive News Coverage,"
that He has Been Provided with, "via Telephone Call ins," and "Social
Media," and "The Global Cross Media News Universe," Someone in His
Administration or The Republican Party "Should Counsel Him to Say Thank You!" After
All, "He is President of The United States of America!"
And, "President Trump's Decision" to "Rescind The Guidelines,"on Wednesday, The Twenty-Second of February, 2017, "Guidelines" that Former
President Obama Put in Place, "to Protect and Allow Transgender Students
to Use The Bathroom of Their Own Choice in Public Schools," is "Another
Reversal of Opinion by The President and Betrayal of The LGBT Community," (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender). Who, "While Campaigning for
The Presidency of The United States" said, When Questioned, "Whether
Caitlyn Jenner would be free to use any bathroom she wished if she
walked into Trump Tower," Candidate Trump answered, "That is correct!"
And, Candidate Trump also told "The Today Show," that "North Carolina
did something that was very wrong," and also, that "They're (North
Carolina) paying a big price!"
(This was said in regards to "North
Carolina's Law" in April of 2016, that "bans people from using
bathrooms that don't match the sex indicated on their birth
certificate!")
"Republican Members of Congress" have "Been on the
Receiving End of the Admonishment and Severe Criticism of Families All
across The United States!"
"Families who Will Be Negatively Effected
if The Affordable Care Act is Repealed" and "Made Unavailable to Them!"
Or, "Families of Undocumented Immigrants and Dreamers" who are "Being
Threatened with Deportation by The Trump Administration!"
And,
"Families who are Waiting for President Trump to Make Good on His
Promises" to, (1) Come to The Aid of The Coal Industry," (2) Improve
Veterans Affairs, and (3) Improve The American Economy (and Not Just Wall
Street).
And, Now, The President has "Chosen to Revoke The Civil Rights of The Transgender Community!"
"Is This How He Intends to Make America Great again?" And, "How is His Vision of America Consistent with The Vision of The Founders of The U.S." Even "A Blind Man Can See and Understand," "Why There is Such Disunity and Disharmony in The U.S. Today!"
One Thing, I Can Unequivocally say is, "If Republicans thought Their Town Hall
Meetings were Intense before," "They Will Be Facing an even Greater
Activism Of, By, and For The People" than "They Could have ever
Imagined!"
And, In The Next Elections, "They," The GOP "Will Be
Paying a Big Price for President Trump's Reversal of Policy," and,
"Political Rhetoric," and "They Will See The Proof of This Discontent of
The American People," When, "They Vote for Anyone on the Ballot,"
"Other Than The GOP!"
However, "Democrats Should Not Take This
Utter Discontent for Granted," Because, "They Will have to Prove Their
Sincerity to The Voters," to "The American People," by "Their Actions,
Vision, and Legislative Agenda For All The People!"
And, "The U.S.
Congress" and "The Trump Administration," and "President Trump Himself,"
"Should Take The Frustration and Discontent on Display at Town Hall
Meetings All across The U.S. to Be Very Serious!"
And, "Playing The
Gadfly" is "Not What is Needed to Unite and Empower The People of The
United States Of America!" "Sound Economical, Sociological, Health,
Inspirational, and Moral Policies For The People," are "What is In The
Best Interest Of All The People of These United States of America!"
And, "What is Needed," and "In The Best Interest Of The People," to
"Build A Positive, Enlightened, Lawful and Just Future" upon "The Great
Foundation that The U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration
of Independence were Created for!"
But, Under The
Directive of Homeland Security, "President Trump has Found Another Way"
to "Keep His Campaign Promises to Deport Undocumented Immigrants," While "Breaking the Hearts of Children, Mothers, Fathers, and Families All across The United States!"
"Fortunately," For Many Undocumented Immigrants, This New Deportation
Order "Does Not Include Anyone who Fits under The DACA Policy
Guidelines" (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).
However, If "You have Lived in The United States for Less Than Two Years," and "You are Undocumented," "You May Be Deported!"
But, "Fortunately," There are at Least "Two Thousand Sanctuary Sites,"
Churches, Mosques, and Synagogues, who are "Offering Sanctuary to
Protect Those Families who Feel that They are Threatened with
Deportation," and are "Living in Fear of This Happening!"
"Families
who Came to The United States" to "Be a Part of," and "Work Hard for,"
and "Share The American Dream," Mothers, Fathers, Children, and
Relatives who "Came to The U.S. to Escape from Violence and Political
Oppression," are "Now Experiencing A Horrible Nightmare" that "Threatens
Their Very Being!" Knowing that "They May Be Forced to Return to The
Nightmare They Thought They had Left Behind!"
"These are
Families!" "Not Criminal Aliens," or "Murderers," or "Malevolent Gang
Members," or "Evil-Minded Members of Syndicates of Terror!" "
"They" are "Women, Children, and Men," who "Came to America Searching for A Safe Haven to Live Freely, Lawfully, and Peacefully!"
Fortunately for Them, "There are Civil Rights Activists and Advocates and The American Civil Liberties Union" (ACLU) who are "Courageously Willing to Defend and Protect Their Rights as Sovereign Beings of This Planet Earth!"
And, While The President Fulfills His Campaign Promises, "People Living
in Civilized Nations All over The World Look at The United States," A
Beacon of Liberty and Freedom, "in Utter Dismay!"
One Can Not Help but Feel that "This New Deportation Directive is A Violation of Everything Good that America Stands for" and that "Is Written on the Plaque that is Placed in The Pedestal of The
Statue of Liberty," "A Grand Ole Symbol of Inspirational, Empathetic and All Inclusive Ideals," with "Embracing and Deeply Felt Sentiments of The Mother of Exiles," Given Voice by "The Words" of of Emma Lazarus' Sonnet; "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp
beside the golden door!"
In This Time Period of of The
Twenty-First Century, "When The Earth is Being Challenged," Once again,
"by Forced Migration, War, Conflict, Homelessness, Oppression, and
Frustration, It is Important For Us to Remember that "We are All
Immigrants" or "Descendants of Immigrants" Living in The United States
of America (With the Exception of Native Americans!).
Let's Hope that "The Senior Members of The Republican Party," who are
"Willing to Place Country above Party Loyalty" and "Party Ideology," Can
Influence The New Trump Administration to "Make Choices and Decisions" that
"Embrace, Protect, and Empower, All The People Of The United States Of
America!"
Because, "It's For Certain" that, By Issuing a "New Deportation Directive Causing Fear in The Hearts, Minds, Spirits and Souls of Undocumented Immigrants" (Mothers, Fathers, and Children, "Dreamers of The American Dream,") "Living in The United States," or "By Re-Writing A New Executive Order that Ban's
Immigrants-Refugees from Entering The U.S." May Be "One of Promises The President Made While Campaigning to Win The Presidency," Clearly, "It Must Be Obvious" that At This Moment in Time, "It is Not The Way to Win The Hearts, Minds, Spirits, and Souls Of The Citizens Of America," and "Get His
Message Across" that "He is Not a Bad Guy," and "Would Like to Unite America!" And, "The President" and "His Administration Must Fully Realize and Accept This!"
And, "In This Time Space Reality and Age of The Twenty-First Century,"
When, "Because of The Global Internet," and "The Advances of Modern
Technology," "There is Zero Degrees of Separation Between Us," and That
Makes for An Atmosphere, "Where It's Extremely Difficult to Keep Secrets!" "Why" wasn't "FBI Information about General Flynn Given to The
Media," or "Leaked to The Press and The Global Cross Media Universe
During The 2016 Presidential Election Campaign!" It Could Be Debated One Way or Another, that "It Could have had A Significant Effect on The Outcome of The Election!"
And, "Why" Didn't FBI Director James Comey "Send a Letter to Specific
Members of The U.S. Congress Alerting Them," (and The News Media)" that "The
FBI" was "Conducting An Investigation into General Flynn's Activities,"
"Concerning Meeting with A Russian Envoy," or "The Russian Ambassador!"
"Director Comey Actually Did this and More," on The Thirtieth of October,
2016, "When He Not only Alerted Congress," "He also
Obtained A Warrant" to "Review The Emails of Huma Abedin," that were
"Found on The Computer of Her Estranged Husband, Anthony Weiner," that
"Involved a Totally Separate FBI Investigation of Mr. Weiner!"
Was there "A Double Standard" Involving The Two Presidential Campaigns?"
When You Consider the Amount of Unknown Information that was Not
Revealed to The Public, "You Can Easily Believe" that "There was!"
And, "The Surprise Effect and Timing" of "The News of This Warrant" was
"As Near to Being a Devastating a Blow," as One Could Imagine, "upon
The Hopes and Hard Work of The Clinton Campaign to Secure The Presidency
For Her," Especially, "Because It Occurred Less than Ten Days before
The Election!"
"The Question
is," "Will Investigating Leaks by The U.S. Intelligence Community,"
Make up For "Previous Mistakes in Judgment," in regards to Russia and WikiLeaks,
"In The Past!"
One Thing that is for Certain is, "The Call for An Ongoing Investigation," in Regards to, "Exactly What The 2016 Activities of Some Members of The Trump Campaign (Not All) and Russia were at the Time," is "of Great
Enough Importance to Pursue with All Expediency and Vigor!" "Why," "Because The Truth Must Be Known," If, "We are to Have Trust and Faith in The Trump Administration," and "The Integrity of The United States Election Process!"
"Russia has already Been Declared Guilty of Interfering in The 2016 U.S. Presidential Election," (Think about it) and "Now It Must Be Found Out," If, "There were Others Involved," and "Who They were!"
Voices of Reason and Peacemakers of The Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries, Over the Period of Time that has "Bridged The Past Two Centuries," Beginning from The 1960's until Today, "We have Been Faced with Economic Crisis, Civil Rights Crisis, Religious Scandals, Threats of Impeachment, War, UN-Declared Wars, Ongoing Conflicts, Malevolent and Immoral Attacks of Violence upon Innocent Citizens, by Syndicates of Murderers and Criminals, A Financial Crash of Epic Proportions, Increased Climate Warming, The Disenfranchisement of Vast Numbers of People All across The Global Landscape,and "Its as If History is Intent upon Repeating Itself," Once again!
"For Those of You who are Not Old Enough to have Experienced" or "Have had First Hand Knowledge of This Cycle of Time," It was as If, "You were Existing within An Event Horizon," that "Held Many Tragic Moments that have Been Documented for Us to Learn from," and "In Hopes" that "We Will Never Repeat This Cycle again!"
However, "It Seems as If We Must," Because, "We" are already "In The Midst of It," and "We Must Not Retreat from The Divisive Tactics that are Being Used against Us," under "The Illusion, or Guise" that "Everything that is Being Done is For Our Benefit!"
And, "We're Being Told this, Without Being Offered a Choice or An Alternative Plan to Consider in Advance as An Alternative!"
"We are Being Asked to Trust and have Faith by Voices of Government" who have either "Told Us Outright Lies, Half Truths, or Political Rhetoric," All under The Premise that "Their Plan, Policy, Ideology, Strategy, or Vision is Better," without "Telling Us What It is!"
Well, "Enough is Enough," We Can All Read, Write, Add, Multiply and Subtract," and "Those of Us who Can Not are Depending on Us to," Quite Simply, "Tell Them The Truth" and "Spread The Word via "Social Media," or via "The Global Cross Media Information and News Universe!"
And, Wherever or Whenever, "There is a Town Hall Meeting involving An Elected Official Make Your Voices Heard!"
And, Wherever or Whenever, "a Non-Violent Demonstration is Being Organized in Protection and, or In Defense of Your Civil Rights," "Stand up and March For Your Beliefs" as "A Free, Just, and Sovereign Interdependent Being Of, By, and For The People!"
And, "Plan Well, and Organize Well," and "Do Not Be Deterred by Forces of Disorder, Distraction, Glitz, Manipulation, Chaos, Fools Gold or False Promises!
If, "We Must Be Thrust into The Middle of This Cycle of Tumult again," "Let's Not Be Fooled again!"
Let Us, "Follow The Sovereign Interdependent Path Of The People, By The People, and For The People of This Planet Earth!"
And, "Let There Be No Doubt" that "We are A Great Soul Force" that "Has To Be Reckoned with!"
And that, There is "No Getting Around Us!" Or, "Toying with Us!" "Not Now, or In The Future," or "Ever Again!"
For, This is The Way To Peace, and An Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscience Age Of Peace, Justice, Law and Order, Respect, and The Pursuit Of Happiness For One and All!
In An Age Where The Global Equation and Global Equilibre Of The People, Lies In There Being An Earthwise Community that Embraces The Diverse Fabric and Tapestry of The New Norm Of, By, and For The People, Whose Visions Provide Social Security For All The People, and Limitless Horizons of A Grand Earthrise of Opportunity and Purpose on Earth and In The Cosmos that We Share in An Ecological State of Balance, with a Universe of Sentient Beings!
