I wrote this in April 2020, but never posted it anywhere. Strange. Even stranger is this has turned out to be far truer than I could have feared or imagined. We are living in perilous times, when victims are blamed for violence and a vile con artist is determined to win at any cost. With so many racist white folks and ignorant black folks in this country – his desire may come to pass. We will ALL pay the price if it does.
“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
– Winston Churchill
Who would imagine, just three months (now 8 months) into 2020, that we would be in our own version of hell? While there are some places and people who cannot grasp the effect of group behavior, some of us understand all too well what affects ME affects YOU. If you didn’t get this before, you are in for some very rough lessons and rude awakenings in the next few months. Buckle Up!
Right now, focusing on politics is the last thing I want to do, yet politics underscores how this pandemic is playing out, both home and around the world.
My pinned tweet is “2020 is not just the year, it also represents 20/20 vision. It’s about clearly seeing What Is. The narrative is ours to drive.”
What I see clearly now is you don’t put an incompetent, mentally unfit, lazy, self-centered, selfish, smugly ignorant and illiterate person in charge of the “greatest country in the world.”
What we are seeing (20/20) quite clearly is this person has no capacity for humility, growth or appropriate responses to any of what has occurred. The fact that he was advised months ago and treated this as a “public relations messaging opportunity” as opposed to an actual health crisis is still an issue. [1]
Other Americans can see this clearly as well. Steve Schmidt, who I’ve admired since Senator McCain’s run for office had plenty so say, none of it good regarding trump’s incompetence[2]. He was also a very early critic. His outlook has been honest and refreshing, unlike the lackeys that are now the republican party.
Trump is not willing to evoke actual war powers; he just likes saying he’s a war time president. Who we should add – is a complete and utter failure as a human. Why won’t he force manufacturers who may otherwise have to lay off employees to build ventilators, protective gear for our front-line health workers, masks for all who need them and tests, tests, tests?
Why NOT? Selfish never goes out of style with this cretin. He refuses to evoke his actual authority (unlike the fake authority overruled by court after court after court). No, this idiot is afraid to use any “socialist” actions because then he won’t be able to use that as a talking point against democrats in November.
He is and continues to play politics with people’s lives by sending supplies for those who genuflect, grovel and lie about how great a job he is doing, while shafting blue states with unabashed glee.
Today, the Boston Globe’s editorial board made the decision to call it exactly as it is – trump has blood on his hands. Full Stop. Period. [3]
As for the rest of us, know that in seeing clearly, we now have an ability to create a better, brighter and more just world for everyone. Even for those who claim they want no parts of our world.
A new world is coming. We can see the outlines in the ways our everyday lives have been impacted, and the innovative and creative solutions we offer to help those we know and those we don’t. Could this be the catalyst that propels us into The Age of Aquarius? I certainly hope so!

The punishment for not kissing his ass now is the unleashing of the semi-literate, gun toting jackasses aka patriots who believe every lie uttered and with karma, will join him in the 9 rings of hell where they all belong.
I seldom do politics on my site, but in this year of SEEING CLEARLY, every, single thing IS POLITICAL. If you are living a life where this statement offends you, I suggest you check your privilege. Perhaps, you are the reason those patriots feel the need to terrorize those who don’t believe whites are superior to everybody.
The choices are stark and more lives will be lost, before this shitstorm of a year is over. We should have seen the writing on the wall with the exodus of people who died in 2019. Should I live long enough, I will remember this as a signal the shit to come is more than many souls signed up for, and they are/will be allowed to check out early.
Please understand, if you support this man, I truly hope you get to see the horrors he has personally brought down on America and Americans up close and personal. This is the only thing that will break his strangle hold on republican voters. Or not… After all, over 2 million more people must die from Covid19 before herd immunity even starts to kick in.
White privilege is proving to be dangerous for all people of color and conscious. Choose sides wisely. You cannot be a racist spiritual person. That is an oxymoron. This is a battle for the soul of amerikka, but will impact an entire planet. Trust and believe, the worst is yet to come.
