This is Wrong!

Today is a sad day in U.S. History.  Trump really stepped over the line on this one. To ban people solely due to their religion is just wrong on every level.  It is worth noting that the countries with which he has financial dealings are left off the list.  Also, four of the five men behind the 9/11 attack came from one of the countries excluded from his horrid list.

Any so called Christian, or elected official that agrees with this craziness should not be allowed to be in the service of any church or public office.

This is just pure evil.  Hitler did things like this. And we, as True Americans can not, and will not allow such actions to stand!

It did this old heart of mine good to see so many people out, and standing up to such tyranny!

1984, The Novel, Come to Life

This is a video that really explains what is going on in today's world.  From Russia, to the United States, governments are controlling the way we think, the way we feel and the way we live. As the video explains, you hear the word "ORWELLIAN" used frequently. Do you know what it really means. This video explains its true meaning.

Let me know what you think. Would you like to see more like this? Or should I move on to other things.

In my opinion, using terms such as "Alternative facts"  as did Trumps Press people, is very Orwellian. Giving new meaning to know facts.

Important News for East Contra Costa County Democrats!



Residents east of Antioch in eastern Contra Costa County, California (District 4), now have a place and a voice to support Democratic issues. This is a current and burning issue, as we all know. 

We are a grassroots group, beginning with a small core group.  Keep abreast of this blog and watch for posts on Facebook, Twitter, and in the local newspapers, (Brentwood and Oakley Presses, East County times, etc.) for important information on how to become part of our voice.

We aim to act against Trumpery, both in the real sense of stopping the current occupant of the White House from doing the damage he intends toward our nation, and in the dictionary definition of the word.  

Last night I was elected vice chair of this group, the Delta Democrats. Our immediate focus is stopping the onslaught of executive orders, (most of which probably won't stand, anyway), and also to address other issues important to our collective understanding of the Democratic process.

These include, but are not limited to:  Women's Issues, Education, LGBTQ Issues, Veterans, Native American, Homeless, Disabled Persons, and Senior Issues.

Comments and suggestions are welcome, but please remain civil; no name calling or foul language.  Comments running afoul of this simple rule will be deleted.
