The Poem we have all needed to hear; Amanda Gorman

 I won't lie, I am not much for poems being spoken, nor did I car for her verbal presentation, however reading it is flat out amazing. 
Thank you, young lady.

“The Hill We Climb” Amanda Gorman When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast, we’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace and the norms and notions of what just is, isn’t always justice. And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it, somehow we do it, somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished. We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one. And, yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn’t mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect, we are striving to forge a union with purpose, to compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man. So we lift our gazes not to what stands between us, but what stands before us. We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside. We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another, we seek harm to none and harmony for all. Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true: that even as we grieved, we grew, even as we hurt, we hoped, that even as we tired, we tried, that we’ll forever be tied together victorious, not because we will never again know defeat but because we will never again sow division. Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one should make them afraid. If we’re to live up to our own time, then victory won’t lie in the blade, but in in all of the bridges we’ve made. That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare it because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it’s the past we step into and how we repair it. We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it. That would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy, and this effort very nearly succeeded. But while democracy can periodically be delayed, but it can never be permanently defeated. In this truth, in this faith, we trust, for while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us, this is the era of just redemption we feared in its inception we did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour but within it we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and laughter to ourselves, so while once we asked how can we possibly prevail over catastrophe, now we assert how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us. We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be, a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free, we will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation, our blunders become their burden. But one thing is certain: if we merge mercy with might and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright. So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left, with every breath from my bronze, pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one, we will rise from the golden hills of the West, we will rise from the windswept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution, we will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states, we will rise from the sunbaked South, we will rebuild, reconcile, and recover in every known nook of our nation in every corner called our country our people diverse and beautiful will emerge battered and beautiful, when the day comes we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it, for there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.

With Lame Charges against the January Sixth Terrorists; Militia's now Control America, you should be terrified.

 It goes without saying that this has been building for years. 
From the Bundy Standoff it seemed to escalate as the Feds pretty much just let Armed Lunatics point firearms at Federal Agents and threaten to kill anyone, were allowed to go home. 
Light charges were filed here and there which of course did little. 
They would again Emerge in Oregon taking over a bird sanctuary resulting in a standoff where one would rightfully die when engaging with a FBI Agent. 
Of all things the Agent would be Charged and of course the Hammonds, who had nothing to do with the Standoff, for illegally burning government property while trying to cover up their Poaching. 
Real standup Citizens. 
Slaps on the wrists abounded and more community service for people to clean up cemeteries. 
Everyone laughed as we knew they were low IQ, however unlike the Negro who robbed a liqure store and faces years in Prison, little would happen to the white boys since their Illegal Cause somehow caught the hearts and minds of poorly  informed and thought out politicians. 

Fast forward to the Trump years with despicable sack of shit after despicable sack of shit, including the Hammonds being pardoned. 
Further Emboldened and realizing they faced no real ramifications, the nutbag movement intensified to taking over multiple State Court Houses with again, slaps on the wrist and minor charges thrown at them.

To make matters worse, throughout the last four years, hell before that, I have heard threat after threat of people wanting Democrats and anyone they did not like, executed. 
This should have been a given considering  Trump baselessly wanted Hillary "locked up" and made it a campaign slogan. If you did not realize it, Republicans spent six years Demonizing Hillary, not because she was guilty of Crimes, but because they knew who the Democrats darling would eventually be. 
If you are not smart enough to figure it out, she was not guilty of anything they claimed, don't get me wrong, her Emails pissed me off, it was careless, unethical and should have been the removal of her from her position, however as investigations, plural proved, they were not Illegal. 

Then came lockdowns and Sheriffs, misinformed by Radical Right Wing Media sources decided they did not need to follow Mandates and openly came out against other Elected Officials of more power in favor of a Mentally Deficient President and Radical Right Wing Media emulating Fascist Talking points from the 1920s-30s. 

So here we are, just three days after a Insurrection of Terrorists who wanted to take Congress Hostage to Install America's first Dictator who decided Elections. 

We all saw them lining up, we all knew it was coming and knew it would be a shitshow but hoped that the radical right wing shills in the Justice Department and Feds would Arrest the Ring Leaders and tame the beast before it started. 

The Head of the Proud Boys would be arrested, which is good but not enough as thousands, programmed to hate the institution that they have a say in, stood outside and screamed at their free Press and then some attacked the boys in blue they profess to love. 
Most stood up to the mob and did what they could with little to fight back with. 
Seemingly no Water Canons, no Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets apparently not being manufactured anymore, they woudl have nearly 60 of their own injured and one MURDERED by a insurgent intent on kidnapping Congress. 

It did not matter who was in the building, they wanted blood and they wanted those within the building to not be independent entities, but minions of their Chosen Leader, a leader who constantly makes policies that shits all over them. 
Maybe that's always the case, it seems to be. Perhaps their YouTube fame would be all they needed. 

Dozens have been arrested with charges that amount to community service in the long run being filed. 
Men who have no respect for America's institutions are proven right again as spineless prosecutors slap them on the wrist and tell them to go clean up a cemetery with "Time Served" 

The Armed Mobs are watching, smiling and licking their lips. 

They also saw all those paid to protect the American people simply stepping aside, one even taking a selfie with them. 

They know they enjoy broad support from a Military that apparently has never read the US Constitution or does not care. 

They know the Police will stand with them as Democrats have done their best to distance themselves from the people who otherwise would have protected them. 
Some will do their job, but it will go quickly. 

Now that brings to this post, on the 19th they have said they will come back. Trump will likely still be in office as our Inept Government is horribly divided and afraid to simply do their fucking job, Arrest Trump, His Son, Rudy and the Other Ring Leaders, instead they argue over nothing. 
For god sakes this is the one thing we all should agree on, why are we not?

At some point realizing they are now in control, you will see the Armed Militia's standing in the streets, extorting payments, deciding who lives and dies and generally being the thugs they are. 

I spent my entire life believing the good gun owners of this country would fight to stop Tyranny, I never dreamed in my wildest dreams they would be in large part  supporting this, and those who do not, simply doing nothing. 

Every Dictator has their armed militias do their bidding, now our own Second Amendment will bite us in the ass and cause great harm in the future. 

In the event it does not get as bad as I think it will, it still will never be the same. Officials across America have had their lives threatened and many quit their jobs over it. 

America is not a first world nation, is not safe and you all should be beyond terrified.
