I know we don't have many options, but I want to do my part in responding to a call to create noise and apply pressure to the court before their final decision.
If it is not their body, it is not their decision.
The last three images I am including on this post were taken between 1976 and 1986. As you can tell, I have been riding Kawasaki motorcycles for almost 50 years. I purchased my first dirt bike motorcycle in 1974, at the tender age of 19.
The top picture is a replica of my first 1972 Kawasaki 750 Triple that I was lucky to encounter a couple of weeks ago at a motorcycle vintage gathering. It was my first street bike motorcycle, and the first love of my life.
One of my favorite quotes is : "You don't stop riding when you get old. You get old when you stop riding." The best is yet to come!
To top it off, Schmidt alleges that John McCain lied to him and the American people about an affair he carried out with a DC lobbyist. In other words, John McCain, the 2008 candidate for president of the United States, was sleeping with someone whose job is to influence members of congress.
Steve Schmidt waited 14 years to air the dirty laundry of the McCain family. I expect a book to be out for sale soon.
Just finished watching former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, who was featured earlier today on 60 Minutes. He talks about his experience working at the White House.
According to Mark Esper, Trump wanted the U.S. military to attack and shoot missiles into Mexico, one of our closest neighbors and largest trading partners. Doing that would not only violate international law, it would set a terrible precedent.
During a Washington DC protest, Trump wanted to unleash 10,000 paratroopers into the streets of Washington DC with weapons and bayonets. "Can't you just shoot them, just shoot the protesters in the legs or something?", Trump asked. Trump suggested that we should bring in the troops and shoot the protesters in the streets of our nation's capital, Esper said."
Those are the same type of scenarios that you see at Banana Republics and authoritarian regimes in foreign countries. This is exactly how they deal with protesters.
Like I said earlier, it is a mystery to me how nearly half of the voting population wants to keep this monster as President. How did our country sink so far, and so many are willing for another try with the Orange Turd at the helm?

"Despite his legal troubles, “there is no legal reason” Andrew Wilhoite can’t be a candidate, Indiana election official Brad King told the Kokomo Tribune".
Nothing says "I value human life" like voting for and electing a guy who killed his cancer battling wife, and then dumped her body in a creek. Inspiring commitment to pro life values there.
As long as there's a "R" next to the name you get votes, even when sitting in jail for murdering your wife. Showing the moral values of the "pro life" and "family values" party.
I was sitting at the dentist office earlier today talking to my dentist. I realized that most of the individuals that offer the essential services that I frequent the most during my everyday life are from other nations.
It is a coincidence. It wasn't planned in my part to be that way, it just is. For example, my dentist is from China. My primary doctor is from Cuba. My eye doctor is from the Philippines. The pizza store I frequent the most, the owner is from Lebanon. The store I frequented to get breakfast when I was still employed, they are from Cambodia. The woman that cuts my hair is from Vietnam. The computer/cell phone store that handles my computer and cell phone issues, the owners are from India and Bangladesh. The little mom and pop store where I used to get lunch at my previous job, they are from South Korea. My landlord is from Thailand.
Why am I telling you this? I remember watching the 2020 RNC Convention where one of the themes was the GOP warning that the upcoming election was "a decision between preserving America" and having diversity as a threat to American values. In every election, the GOP seems to bring back their tried and true boogeyman migrant caravan invasion talking point.
Personally, I don't think we could survive as a nation without those people I listed above. They are people from what lots of MAGA followers call sh*thole countries. In my opinion, those foreign-born individuals are the ones who make the United States the great nation that we are today.
