The Garden of Eden

It is perfectly disgusting that New York City continues to act as a garbage can. There should be no live garbage anywhere, and certainly not on the streets. A photograph was taken the other day of fifteen rats on a disgusting pile of garbage emanating from Palace Restaurant on East 57th Street, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Blank Street Coffee. The other day, a photograph of the rats outside of Dunkin’ Donuts was taken into the manager of Dunkin’ Donuts. The manager thanked the guy and gave him a box of donuts. The rats are still there, the garbage is still there. Why does not the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, run a real campaign to eliminate all organic food matter from the garbage? There is no reason in the world that every enterprise, and certainly food centers, should not be composted. There are garbage bags today which can be filled with live garbage, placed in a bin, and they will decompose and turn into compost. If an individual enterprise has more to compost than it can handle, why should there not be bins on the street from which the city can pick up the compost and use it to feed the trees, the grass, the parks… This is not the most complicated process to organize. It would turn New York City from being a garbage can, a disgusting city to walk through day or night into a pleasant and updated city. Come on, Mayor Adams, get with the program.

Justice For All

The American democracy under which we have lived and prospered for the last 245 years is on the brink of destruction.

Anyone who lived through World War II must recognize the similarity of those forces, of those individuals, who like Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, were dedicated to creating their own autocracies and to the destruction of their own democracy and the world as we knew it.

Their followers, too, were Aryans and Antisemites who were totally responsible for the murder of 6 million Jews and many others besides. Along with the Japanese on the other side of the world, seeking their own world domination, were totally responsible for World War II. Those forces have grown, misinformation has spread, and war criminals, such as Putin, have been aided and abetted in their dedication to the destruction of our nation.

Perhaps the most essential feature of their destructiveness and perhaps the most long lasting effect of Trump’s desire to destroy this country, will be the denigration of education, the introduction of religion into the educational system of the schools, the judicial system throughout the country, and finally the destruction of the Supreme Court.

He and some of his predecessors cynically stacked the Supreme Court for their perceived possible benefit.

Trump is not the only responsible party for the destruction of the Supreme Court. In recent times, President George HW Bush made the cynical appointment of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. The Republican party refused to allow Obama to make an appointment. However, they did support Trump’s three self-serving appointments. His soul intention was to stack the Supreme Court in his favor should his case ever be presented, as it probably will.

The confidence of Americans in the integrity of the judicial system has been totally undermined.

The destruction of the Supreme Court is probably the last and final act leading to the demise of our democracy. Historically, they have been the iconic final word on any judicial issue. They had the nation’s trust that their decisions would be just. One used to consider that the Supreme Court’s decisions were not bound by self interest or politics, but purely by deliberation and what was the best and correct decision for the nation.

This is all reminiscent of Hitler’s Germany all over again.

Ultimately, it seems as though the members of the Supreme Court are one way or another corrupt, can be bought by wealthy individuals and this is at the very heart of the destruction of this country. Money has taken over the entire governing system, from state elections to national elections, to the Supreme Court. A democracy really depends on the integrity of the electoral system in every state in the country, and the dedication of the individuals who run for office and who are elected.

It seems that character and integrity are not required for a perspective Supreme Court Justice. It’s easier to run for election for any position in the United States government than it is to get into a New York City Co-Op.

Truth Matters

The division in this country has become vast and dangerous. We are on the brink of losing our democracy and part of the reason for this largely rests with the Republican Party. Unfortunately, this is no longer the traditional Republican Party. This is now the party of Trump. Ex- President Donald Trump is a man who has clearly committed treason against the United States. The January 6th insurrection, an attack on the Capital of the United States of America, the papers that he has stolen from the White House, hidden at Mar A Lago, can only have been retained by him with intent to divulge classified information in return for some form of compensation or other favors.

In America today, does truth matter?

Alack Alas, The Rats A Mass

The streets of New York City were definitely never paved in gold, however, they were paved.  

In those days there was some element of continuity in any ten feet of city blocks. Today, you cannot walk on a sidewalk in Manhattan without a total change in the pavement. Just walking down Lexington Ave you will see that there is a different pavement about every ten feet.  

In other times, shopkeepers were responsible for maintaining the pavement outside of their shops and the pavements were uniform on any given block. 

This deterioration is causing unsafe and difficult passage for foot traffic with no one being held responsible. Furthermore, the proliferation of garbage on the streets has certainly not added to curb appeal. 

Every store, building, restaurant and diner are allowed to dump their garbage in piles on the sidewalks of New York City streets. These piles litter both the streets and also attract mice and rats.

On 57th street alone, between Park Ave and Lexington Ave, the collection of garbage on the street produced by The Palace Diner, Dunkin Donuts, Blank Street Coffee to name a few, generates pounds of garbage and over 18 rats were counted at one time at the same location.

The other day there was a bin on the street, it was a black, nicely designed discreet bin for garbage.  Why can’t the city of New York, one of the wealthiest cities in the world, work out a deal with the trade unions which would encourage and permit such garbage bins instead of the present collection of ugly plies of rat infested garbage? Replacing the garbage bags with bins would enormously improve the experience of walking through Manhattan, north, south, east and west.

It is absolutely imperative that all the citizens of New York City support Mayor Adam’s new initiative regarding trash in garbage bins to replace the rat infested garbage piles that currently litter our streets.

Credit must be paid

Several people have contributed to the Trump evil list. Joy Javits deserves major credit. Her father senator Jacob J Javits was a republican who represented exactly what a republican senator in this country should be. The Javits center is named after him, he was a great man, a great senator, his statue is there, and everyone should go to pay obeisance to a great republican, a great American and a great believer in Democracy.

Hell to the Chief

It is beyond understanding that Americans who claim to believe in America Democracy could ever have supported Trump as president of the USA.

Stop the Killing!

The population of the United States is 326 million people. There are more than 393 million firearms in the America, or enough for every man, woman and child to own a gun, and still have 67 million guns left over. Those numbers come from the latest edition of the global Small Arms Survey, a project of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.(the washing Post information) The right of an individual to bear arms has been argued since the constitution was ratified on September 17, 1787. The Second Amendment was ratified on December 15, 1791, as one of the first ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights expanded upon the Constitution by establishing clear individual rights, limiting the government’s powers, and further laying the foundation of American freedom. The right to bear arms for individuals was not originally written into the constitution . It was only granted years later in the second amendment. It is barely conceivable that this discussion is still going on years later. The second amendment still affords the individual the right to own arms, but only for self-protection or protection of their home. At the time that this second amendment was ratified, a gun rifle was capable of shooting one bullet at the time. Today an American made semiautomatic rifle can shoot 600-950 rounds a minute or more discharges in a single shot, with each pull of the trigger. Anybody in American above the age of 18 can buy semi-automatic rifles, capable of shooting hundred bullets a minute. Until very recently a repetitive rifle and guns were available at any Walmart. No one today is being denied the right of an individual to own a gun for self protection, and protection of their home. This does not afford the right for an individual to carry arms in public places, or anywhere outside of the home. Get rid of all the guns on the streets of America, and there would be no reason to feel unsafe on those streets. We as Americans, whether Democrat or Republican, should join together to promulgate and support a law forbidding anyone to bear arms of any kind on the streets of America. Only members of law and enforcement agencies should have the rights to bear arms in public places. For other groups such as hunters, they should have to undergo an extensive training program, before obtaining a license to bear arms, as is common in other countries. Americans, whether Democrat or Republican, we must UNITE to get guns off the streets of America. The penalty for bearing arms in public should be severe even considering the death penalty, with which I personally do not agree. However, putting people in prison for an extensive period of time, is very expensive for tax payers. Strict laws and severe penalties, including heavy fines, rehab centers and community services over extended periods of time, might act as a deterrent to carrying weapons, producing substantial results in securing our streets and public places. We are no longer the Wild West. We must get guns off the streets of America.

Time is running out

Friends and fellow citizens of USA. Those of you who are interested and who value the democracy under which we have all lived for several hundred years must now support Biden in the midterms. 

Whether one agrees with all of President Biden’s policies or whether we do not agree with all of them the only way to save this democracy in the next period of time will be to support him in the midterms.

Trump and his Nazi party and white supremacist followers who want to destroy this country, are well into the process to do so. They are working day and night to do everything possible to suppress the voting rights, to promulgate, publicize and communicate misinformation and lies. 

If Biden is not supported at the midterms, if the republicans regain the senate this country will fall into the hands of Donald Trump and his republican sycophants posing as members of the senate. They do not represent a true Republican party. They represent Trump and themselves with a single aim to destroy this country and the 

Democracy and destroy our democratic form of government under which we have lived and thrived for more than 200 years.

Biden has not always been right a 100% of the time. However at least he is dedicated to the service and salvation of this nation of ours. 

He is blamed for everything that is wrong and goes wrong in this country and beyond. 

The truth of the matter is that starting with Afghanistan and the withdrawal of the American troops, Biden was blamed for the messy exit. 

Nobody seems to remember that the former president Donald Trump had a contract with the Taliban to get all Americans out in 10 days. If this contract was not fulfilled every American in Afghanistan would have been killed by the Taliban. 

Biden inherited that contract and managed to get a 170.000 people out of Afghanistan in 10 days. Most of those people were Americans and many others were people from Afghanistan or people who have worked for America. 

Of course, it was messy and of course it was most unfortunate and sad that some people were lost along the way. 

The sad truth of the matter is that Trump’s arrangements are always inhuman and inconsiderate of the human beings involved.

Now Biden is being blamed for the inflation. It is possible that Biden’s build back America was too generous. Perhaps some families should have been deprived of the $1400 allowance that was distributed. When you are dealing with a society that is suffering from a worldwide Pandemic, and the ensuing unemployment and starvation and death, there is no known mechanism available to go from family to family to investigate the financial status of each claimant. 

The covid epidemic had caused the closure of businesses and corporations leaving people unemployed, sick, and hungry and dying. 

It is certainly possible that less money might have been spent in this regard. However, the situation was desperate urgent and required immediate attention. 

Remember that Trump have failed utterly to do anything to help this nation to survive the covid Pandemic.

Yet another major contributing factor to the present inflation is of course the war in the Ukraine. 

President Roosevelt kept WW2 over there for as long as it was possible. Remember Cash and Carry project, remember the arms sent to the Russians to help them in the war against Hitler, remember the America help to England and France and the rest of Europe.

It was not until after Japan attacked the USA in the Pacific and that Hitler would attack the USA from Europe that the USA had to enter the order by sending troops. 

We are in a similar situation right now. The world is again facing a criminal, inhumane mad man who will stop at nothing. This man Putin cares cares nothing for human life, who thinks nothing of useless, unforgivable destruction and torture only to salve his own ego. 

Biden by supporting the Ukraine and the battle against Putin is fighting a war over there. 

By weakening Putin’s army, and holping to destroy it. We are keeping the war over there.

War is costly. 

In order, to support Ukraine, we have to pay. There is no alternative. 

There is a cost to the combination of the loss of Ukrainian grain to the world and the shortage of oil in Europe as consequence of the shutting down off the Russian oil flow.

We have inflation and we will continue to have inflation as long these condition lasts.

If Putin is in the stopped in the Ukraine, he will push into all the neighboring countries and alternated the NATO will be forced to declare WW3. 

We must recognize that Putin from overseas and that Trump within our own nation are both determined to destroy our democracy. Each for their own divisive purposes but allied to create an authoritarian pro-Russian government in the USA.

This may sound insane but look back at the roots of the WW2 and you will see that Trump and Putin together have a similar aim as did Hitler and as did the Japanese at that time.

America support Biden now and in the midterms. 

If Biden loses in the midterm, if the democratic senate is lost to the right wing, narrow minded and anti-democracy, fascistic, our democracy is lost.  

These people are not dedicated to our democracy or to our nation. They are only interested in their own power and in their lifetime gratuities.

They are not interested in benefiting this country. 

Only by supporting Biden and the democratic senate in the midterms can we at this time hope to preserve our democratic way of life and the democratic government under which we all abide. 

Hit the streets America. 

Support Biden now. 

Support Biden and the democratic senate now in the midterms. 

Address his deficiencies later. They are far less serious than the present danger and potential immediate loss of our democracy.

Hit the streets America. Vote for Biden in the midterms and send this blog onto as many people as you have in your list and encourage them to send it to their lists.

Are women not equal under the law?

Are women not equal under the law?The equal rights amendment was passed and made into law in March 1972. 
 
Trump managed to keep it out of sight and off the books along with his other plans to destroy our democracy.
 
He managed to hide the equal rights amendment as though it had never existed.
 
The fact is that women in America today have equal rights under the constitution. 
 
They have the right to determine what they should do with their own bodies. 
 
The rights of women, today, cannot be taken away or destroyed by some Nazi, right wing, fascists, or religious fanatics who are trying to take over this country. 
 
This has been Trump’s aim from the beginning. He has had the support of the narrow minded, right wing, republican senators. 
 
It will not stop until WE THE PEOPLE of America wake up and stop this anti-democratic movement in America. 
 
Every woman who receives this blog and every man who supports women’s rights and the constitution should stand up and scream out against the suppression of equal rights in this country. 
 
For those who may agree with this, please read it, and send it on to others whom you know.
 
Let’s get women’s rights back on track.
 
Let’s get all rights back on track.
 
Let’s get our democracy back on track.

Is humanity dead?

The shocking news of the murder of the Reids makes one aware of the incredible amount of racial hatred in this country. The Reids obviously are a mixed racial couple. This is probably and the most likely the irrational reason behind this heart-breaking murder. It is heartbreaking for friends and family to lose parents and friends at any time in any way but in this manner, it is particularly sad and savage. It is certainly hoped for that the Hampshire police will find this vicious assassin and lock him forever and throw away the keys. It is pure guess work to believe that this is a racially motivated murder but somehow that is what comes to mind when you look at pictures of the couple. It is just another example of the deep racial divide in America. It is having a disastrous and destructive effect on our nation as a whole and then in the end could destroy our democracy.
