If anything, these most recent disasters has illustrated that those public servants seeking to represent us  must be thoroughly vetted for their educational background, professional experience, ability to think critically, make sound decisions, and exercise common sense. We must demand accountability and hold our leaders responsible for the decisions that affect our safety, environment, and future. 

Let’s hope the real threat to democracy ends on January 20, 2025, and with it those who claimed they would leave the country if Trump were elected have their boarding passes in hand.

I do not pretend to have the solution to stop this disturbing  trend and even among the younger members of my own family I see a reluctance to step up and serve the community

There are very similar patterns between Pre-World War II America and our current position on the world stage.

In view of the most recent acrimonious and partisan election cycle I say amen to such sage words from our Founding Father.

The bonds of friendship should transcend day-to-day politics which are only fleeting. Let’s hope we can return to that civil state once again.

On this Veterans Day let us not only thank a veteran for their service but as Lincoln urged help those still in need.
