Messages of HOPE in the midst of a pandemic ....
I had a 'vision' of HOPE the day before yesterday. Then today while out running errands I saw a man I've often seen running. Today, however, this man had an American flag trailing behind him as he ran along the rural highway. In his hands, out in front of him, he carried yet another flag mounted upon a pole. I don't know why, but witnessing this scene overwhelmed me with such a profound a sense of HOPE. This man's efforts spoke not only of patriotism and the notion that we are "all in this together" --at a time when this is sorely needed-- but that somehow we, as a nation, are running a marathon with respect to Covid-19. We have to pace ourselves, lest we run out of steam and find ourselves unable to finish this race. That being said, I think we are beginning to turn the corner on this pandemic. ... And no, I didn't have my evil appendage of a cell phone with me, so sorry but I've no photograph to share. Instead I'll post a photo and a video of other men running with American flags. Apparently many people across the nation are taking up our nation's flag as an inspirational show of national unity during this time of great upheaval. Great stories! God Bless and keep these messengers of HOPE! God Bless and keep us all during this challenging time of profound change.

Games People Play
Time to finally put an END to the current "Congressional Oversight" Abuses of POWER ....
It has come my attention that the Ghost of Christmas Past --i.e., Nancy Pelosi-- and her compatriots, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer --Ghosts of Present and Future (a.k.a., the Reaper) respectively-- have once again began to rattle their oversight chains. [Where in Liberals' fantasy Trump would play the role of Ebeneezer Scrooge to these ghosts 'enlightened, visionary way thinking' ... wishful thinking indeed? For President Trump's actions defy their stereotyping time again and time again, but some people never learn??? Think the American people are starting to see through this whole charade, however.] Yes, we need more Congressional oversight in the midst of our national crisis? I think NOT. While most of us are trying to work together in a concerted effort to fight off a global pandemic these antithetical leaders don't want to waste any opportunity to bring the President down.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for convening committees --ones we already have in place, standing committees in the U.S. Congress-- in the aftermath of our hopeful triumphant victory where Covid-19 is concerned ... Emphasis on AFTERMATH (i.e., once the dust settles and our lives begin to return to some sort of normal, albeit likely a new normal), where "lessons learned" would be evaluated and documented for use in preparedness for future wide-scale epidemics/pandemics. However, to convene a 'special oversight commission', in the here and now, would sorely wreak of rank partisanship, not to mention the fact that it would serve to distract and take attention/focus away from the current crucial leadership efforts the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, his administration and advisers are taking, with aid of the CDC, NIH, FEMA, scientists, military, doctors, nurses, first-responders and everyone on the front-lines of our war against an unseen deadly pathogen, in a heroic effort to save hundreds of thousands of lives ... actual people, not merely numbers. Simply put, such a partisan 'oversight' at this particular point in time would jeopardize the very lives the Ghosts of Christmas are claiming their newest commission would help to save ----with a rather weak case, I might add, both from a facts as well as a numbers perspective. There is clearly no shortage of hypocrisy dripping from these ghostly chains? Governance literally is a game to Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Chuck Schumer, where POWER is the ultimate PRIZE, and the lives and concerns of actual American citizens are merely tokens that enable them play yet another round.
Looking back at the endless string of 'oversight' conducted at the behest of the ghostly trio one could rightly conclude that the U.S. Congress under their 'leadership' has willfully chosen to shirk all of the other normal Congressional duties --much to the detriment of you and me, "We the People"-- in the hopes of undermining, and ultimately defeating their nemesis who is none other than the duly elected President of the United States. This egregious behavior begs the question: What will we, as citizens, choose to do about their **?%! blanked-up priorities? I suggest drafting a widely-circulated citizen petition to have Nancy Pelosi and company censured by their respective Congressional chambers, and if the votes are there to even consider have them removed from office. It's time to put ACCOUNTABILITY back on the table in a BIG way! Because, I don't think --given previous election cycles and the fact that these Congressional members are still in office-- that we can rely on elections alone to save us from their ineptitude. Then again, maybe a national petition might make a rather sizable dent in their re-election campaigns as well?
And speaking of accountability, I cannot help but wonder" will China be held accountable for hiding the fact that this virus was on the loose in their country for many months --maybe even up to an entire year-- and heading out from their country to INFECT the entire rest of THE WORLD???? And if the Chinese Government is to be held to account, in what ways will this accountability take form? Ongoing travel restrictions, stricter permanent screening measures and mandatory quarantines for anyone entering the United States after having traveled within China from now on?
4/20/20 Seems relevant that I should take a moment in order to make a comment about the notion of POWER here, particularly with respect to our government and power. There are basically two types of power: 1) the type of power that seeks to collect/gain power (e.g., in pursuit of an unwavering political ideology); and 2) the type of power that seeks to give power back to the people. And you have to be extremely diligent in your dissection of the end-objectives of politicians by carefully considering (discerning) their true motives. This careful contemplation applies particularly to the words of politicians; for actions are often far easier to discern intent from, whereas words can far too often be misleading. One should be wary of a power that promises to give the people something ("FREE"), but with a cost --often not readily discernible up front-- that requires surrendering basic rights and liberties. This power appears benevolent at its surface, but upon deeper inspection it is in truth much darker at its core. One should question a power that seeks to make people dependent upon government for their very existence. On the other hand, a power that seeks to care for the people in their time of need, while simultaneously lighting the way to independence and true FREEDOM, thereby ultimately giving the power back to the people is a true beacon of LIFE, LIBERTY and HAPPINESS, thereby affording each of us the opportunity to evolve more deeply on a spiritual level by owning our own choices in this blink of an eye we call the journey of LIFE.
