11th of September 2001

 11 September 2001

          This is the story of where I was on 9/11, It was a beautiful day, but I was working inside at the Floral Park Verizon Telephone Central Office (CO) installing some new equipment on the second floor, when a coworker came up to me and said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. We thought it must have been a small private plane, but what kind of idiot could hit much a large building on a beautiful clear day. I knew we could see the city skyline from the roof of the CO and could usually see the World Trade Center pretty clear from up there, so we run up to the roof. When we got there it wasn’t hard to spot the WTC buildings smoke was pouring out of first one then the other, smoke covering about a quarter of the southern sky across Brooklyn. Some other guys joined us up on the roof and one had a small radio with the news that two airliners had hit the WTC, and another hit the Pentagon in Washington D.C. with the Newscaster saying she thinks to might be a Terrorist attack, to which I replied, “You Think?”. It wasn’t until I went home that I heard of the fourth plane went down in Pennsylvania.

What really struck me was that all whose people that worked in the World Trade Center starting what we all thought was just another work day with some going to a the nearby Deli for the coffee while the coworker waited in their offices for them, the ones whose turn it was to go for coffee lived, while the ones who waited died and it may have been the same Deli I got my coffee from when I visited the West Street CO which is across the street from the WTC. I think it is but another example that we should live each day to the fullest.         It was a beautiful day, but I was working inside at the Floral Park Verizon Telephone Central Office (CO) installing some new equipment on the second floor, when a coworker came up to me and said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center.

How safe was the safe president?

 

How safe was the safe president?

President Biden was elected over a crazy deranged president that came before him. Although he had a great agenda the most important issues were blocked by one senator from West Virginia Joe Manchin. so, he did a good job or at least better job than I expected it still shows the weakness of the American system where one man can block progress.

President Biden and Vice President Kamilla Harris Didn't seem to get along during the campaign.  I thought that was just part of the political two to four, but it seems that there is a definite friction between Biden and Harris the media doesn't seem to like Harris and gives her a tough time so far it's not known if that's because she is the first woman vice president or they just don't like her positions on certain issues.

The corporate media which controls pretty much every election especially the national elections prefer corporate friendly politicians whether they be Republican or Democrat that is why Joe Manchin of West Virginia get so much play whereas the progressives are hardly ever mentioned someday maybe America will be a true democracy, but not now.

Impeachment was necessary

The reason to impeach a president even after he left office is that future presidents cannot commit crimes in their last year in office such as the insurrection of the 6th of January get away with it because time is short, and he can't be impeached. Also he can't run again for public office and in spite of Q Anon conspiracy theories the election was fair and honest Biden is president

             Now trump should have been impeached in his first term of office if the Democrats were not so chickenshit. He used his office to funnel money into his businesses he is guilty of tax fraud, insurance fraud and money laundering  and many other things including election fraud in 2016

Who won the 2020 Election?

 

          All won the election of 2020, the Right Wing lost ground in that they lost the White House, and some Senate seats. the left did not gain any ground, it did not lose any either. The winners were those in the center so called Liberals and real Conservatives both of which want progress with the Conservative putting money first staying inside a budget.  The Liberals progress first then worry about the budget.

          The Corporate powers that have run the USA for the last 245 years one way or another. They have gained once again for most people have been conned yet again.

Post 2020 Election

 

Wow, the election really was over on November 4th, but the fascist president refused to accept defeat  and still doesn't  accept the result of the election  but technically it was really over as of yesterday December 14th 2020 with Joseph R Biden junior and Kamala Harris Winning the Electoral college vote.

The Fascist will fight to keep White supremacy alive to the end that says more about the American people and the Republican Party who refused to acknowledge facts.  If They do not like the facts that doesn’t go along with their fake delusions like the fact that they keep calling COVID-19 a hoax. Also they don’t go along with the fact that Biden won they think that there was electoral fraud in the 2020 election and they brought over 50 law suits, but have no proof at They lost them all of them including two in the United states Supreme Court. They will continue their tirade until the day they die.

 What I wonder about is what's going to happen to the Republican Party for there is some Conservatives that sided with the progressives and black lives matter voters to give Biden his victory. so, there is a split between in the Republican Party between Republican Conservatives and the Republican fascist will they split into two parties or well one subdue the other I guess time will tell.

Week before the 2020 Election

 

Well it's a week before the presidential election of 2020 between Donald J Trump and Joseph Biden. So, far Biden is ahead by an average of 10 points national, but much narrower in some of the so called swing states like Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania And Wisconsin most people even Democrats are wary of these polls because of what happened in 2016 where all the pulls said Hillary Clinton was going to win by a landslide, but Trump got in by the Electoral College which makes the States count more than the United States population as a whole.

          Trump the incumbent president has some accomplishments in the foreign policy area, such as finally come to the conclusion that the United States has lost the war in Afghanistan and so Surrendering it to the Taliban and some little bit more questionable things like moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in Israel. Then getting some Muslim countries to recognize Israel which is a good accomplishment. Then the withdrawal of troops around the world would be a good thing, but it was all so far it's been all talk no action He claims to have success with China but it seems more like it's the other way around China's economy is growing even after the pandemic where is United States is shrinking

          Trump domestically is another story other than the tax cut for the rich which he would call an accomplishment. He has set storm troopers against innocent protesters of the black lives matter people. Started riots around the country blaming it on the black lives movement. Then the biggest thing is the who's to blame for thousands of American lives  by playing down the pandemic which she knew was dangerous long before it had had hit areas of the country this is still playing out today. Hopefully Biden can stop the hemorrhaging and bring the country back to normal.

          Joseph R Biden Jr. The Democratic candidate for president was not my first choice no in fact she was my last choice to run against Donald J Trump. I did vote for him because he was not Donald Trump.  He served as the senator from Delaware from 1973 to 2008 When he became Barack Obama's vice president I am sure he had many accomplishments as senator, but so far the only things have been brought out are the things that his critics like to blame him for Like the tough on crime bill which he put forth in the Congress that was tougher on the poor especially Blacks poor and put many in prisons  even with many low crime Offences.
