Here is a one year listing of articles* examining and explaining and simply offering facts and some fundamentals about our title subject – the decline of the democrat party:

We offer the following several words from the last link listed above:

 “If the Democrats have one thing in common, it's their shared hatred of President Trump. His shocking win over Hillary Clinton and the subsequent madness of his rule have galvanized the party in a way unseen in at least a decade. Yet their unity in opposition masks lingering and deep fissures in the party.

Yet even the left-wing is divided about the best way forward. Should it follow Elizabeth Warren's lead and promise a return to the trust-busting ways of the early 20th century? Or should it emulate the more sweeping, Nordic-style politics of Bernie Sanders? Or perhaps the Democratic Socialists of America are right and something even more extreme is needed.”

…only time will tell…meanwhile 90+% of American media is simply lost…and the Washington DC nincompoops aplenty hang on for dear life…and a lot of us simply need to think about and maybe deal with this question – what meaneth this for me and mine?

"...our Nation can count on you."

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
SUBJECT: Guidance on the Government Shutdown

Our government will shutdown at midnight tonight. We in the Department of Defense will continue carrying out our fundamental responsibility to defend our Nation and the American people.

We will continue to execute daily operations around the world – ships and submarines will remain at sea, our aircraft will continue to fly and our warfighters will continue to pursue terrorists throughout the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. While training for reservists must be curtailed, active forces will stay at their posts adapting their training to achieve the least negative impact on our readiness to fight.

I recognize the consequences of a government shutdown. You have my personal commitment that the Department’s leadership will do our best to mitigate the impacts of the disruptions and any financial burdens to you and your families.

Steady as she goes – hold the line. I know our Nation can count on you.

STAY ALERT

The above is worth reading – now, today, any day

Shutting down

We cannot help but mention something brief and wise learned over centuries – the best thing that ever happens to “we, the people” is when government shuts down.

For a week, say – well it’s a beginning

For a month, say – a start

For a year, well now – now we may be on the road to good change

For a decade or more – folks this is exactly what happened for many decades beginning in the late 1700’s – we moved on with the one thing we need as a “people”  – good men fighting and getting rid of the endless piles of smelly ____ that build when governments are not shutting down routinely.

Another New Year? Maybe – maybe not.

Before we write these several words pls know this – we don’t write out of some form of hope or anticipation that things continue on the crap path we have been following for some time now.  We also know that historically – a long time ago – new year was quite a different idea and practice than currently occurring and in many places/groups didn’t occur at all.  So be it.

Our day as have been the past several could have been lost in the endless TV nonsense occurring today – football from every and in every form and location and what we get a particular kick out of are the dumbo’s with some form of massive opportunity limitations slightly offset by televised football games about which they can chat endlessly and accomplish absolutely nothing but cause one to almost prefer the never ending cost rising ridiculousness of our televised advertisements for everything from the cars we may drive to the toilet paper we use to the pills we may take and to the various foods now offered at darn near every corner unless one is able to get the he** out of our large cities and suburbs run by overpaid and completely unneeded useless nincompoops called sometimes – government employees*.

How on earth did we – we the people – remember the basic use of those three simple words – WE THE PEOPLE – how on earth did we the people ever fall victim to this ridiculous nonsense?  May be best to not even raise the question.

We always come back to a basic – a fundamental – one of two basic fundamental reasons why this old fart occasionally writes these unread pieces of brevity that apparently are not quite in line with our wonderful country existing today.

One fundamental is – anyone who borrows money must pay it back or flush themselves with or without assistance.  No worthwhile human being sticks a kid – their own or others – with piles of nonrepaid debt growing astronomically now in our country and several of the most ridiculous states/county’s/city’s falling apart as you read these few brief words.  Our recent top military man spoke about our problem not all that long ago – it’s at the top of this page – and what happened?  Well, we the people voted in a top guy from a craphole state/county/city who darn near doubled the debt – this dumb IL farthead is now missed by our media fartheads (well just 90+% of ‘em) and the hollywood fartheads (smelly oscars-a-comin’) and then our 1,000,000+ group led by nine of the most gaseous no-brainers ever who never say a word about requiring DEBT repayment.

The other fundamental has to do with the good men who died for us.  That this old fart of a guy has not earned the right to do or say anything other than – thank you men – God please care for them – we are simply not worthy of what they and You have done for us.

Merry Christmas – 2018, can’t wait!
