Sameness

All of us have our intellectual systems. Every system is as special as each of us is special and every system has the need to express itself.  If your system has gotten to the point of writing a book to gather like thinkers, you are already dead. Life is over because life is about a conversation. Life is all about a live give and take in your moment.

People who have it all figured out are stupid. They assume that if everyone had their intellectual abilities, if everyone read the correct books and attended the correct schools, etc., etc., then we would surely agree about everything. 

Forget it, sameness has never and will never happen, sameness is dull and stultifying. Sameness is another word for being dead for it is in our shared experience that we come closest to what is true and noble.

Sue Me!

Give me a break! An Afghan shooter who has killed for money on orders from our CIA for half his life, suddenly decides on his own to show up in Washington and kill our soldiers. No way. The Washington shooter was killing on orders from someone, in or out of government. FBI, follow the money if you can.

The killer was on orders from the left of the Democrat party in order to embarrass our president. Can this be proven? Probably not but don’t tell us we are not at war. Does this not obviously fit the pattern of revolution? The dying has only begun!

Thanksgiving

Let us be thankful this Thanksgiving for the gift of laughter. We were born to laugh. Laughter from the belly not just at the funnies but most of all in the midst of adversity. Some of us can at last give thanks to the giver of that certain life confidence, win or lose.

Washington

Washington is at a crossroads. The Republican Big Beautiful Bill legislation is not enough to keep the folk back home engaged for the midterm elections next year. The Republicans must have an even bigger legislative year in 2026. Accomplished Republican Americans with pure motives for politics will not remain at their posts with a do nothing Congress. They will go home.

Winning in Washington is now the only way to keep our Constitutional Republic. It is 4^th and one at the goal line with 10 seconds on the clock. A touchdown wins the game. Republicans, it is time for the Philly push and a big win. They know what’s coming but the team can push our quarterback, President Donald Trump over the goal line. 

Republican Senate, you get no more excuses for playing it safe. It is win or go home time. America is for risk taking winners. John Thune, how do you want to be remembered by your grand children, as a winner or loser? 

Please Senators, do make 2026 a really big year in Washington. No longer will they then say, Washington is for the comfortable losers.

Dirty Pill

"Barth was the first theologian to begin the criticism of religion, and that remains his really great merit; but he put in its place a positivist doctrine of revelation which says, in effect, ‘Like it or lump it’: virgin birth, Trinity,, or anything else; each is an equally significant and necessary part of the whole, which must simply be swallowed as a whole or not at all. That isn’t biblical."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "Letters and Papers from Prison", p. 286.

Such is Life, there are winners and losers. Most of us just have to keep trying for it is useless to reason why.

Plan

Wait one minute, like always, President Donald Trump has a plan! 

Maybe it’s a New Years plan. Landers is a long way from Washington but shall we guess? The Trump plan could be to combine the $2000 checks to low income citizens with the long standing Republican election reforms that have been repeatedly trashed by the Democrats. Could any politically sensitive lawmaker of either party oppose this legislation and still survive? This could get interesting.
