That last blog sure was cheerful! Reminiscent of Frodo’s glimpse into the Mirror of Galadriel & the Shire reduced to slag heaps. [FN1] This country, should trump be installed once more in the Oval Office, will not look as chipper as the smoking piles passed by hobbits in chains. 1/9

Conversion of our national government to a trump-led dictatorship is a qualitative change. No one has complied with Art. V and amended the Constitution. In Indiana, when Project 2025 was mentioned,…

The Articles of Confederation “governed” the 13 colonies [FN1] after “Delegates of the United States of America” agreed. [FN2] But “We the People” ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” [FN3] “Preambles are remarkably revealing important” 1/9

“‘We the People’ mak[es] clear that it’s a democracy.... If one reads the preamble closely, one finds the key values that the Constitution is meant to achieve: democratic governance, effective

My work here is done. That's not an oblique way to describe self-destruction. It's a statement of truth. Shelves of books about our history no longer are worth the trees felled for the paper. They're creating a theocracy under the aegis of a deity that does not exist. Knowledge means nothing. Perhaps the plan was to bitch about a stolen election so loudly by a lead candidate so clearly unstable that we demanded every one accept the results that they knew would be a stolen…

Under 48 hours, polls open for Election Day voting. The Marion County Clerk’s website has 1) Times & locations for early voting (still open 11/3 & 11/4); 2) Locations for voting 11/5; and 3) What gov’t-issued photo ID, that you must have w/you, is acceptable. [FN1] 1/15

IN Gov/Lt Gov ticket cannot be split & 3 parties’ tickets are on the ballot. [FN2] When delegates to the GOP State convention nominated Micah Beckwith for Lt Gov, oddities arose, as best exemplified by…

Hatred is not a value America cherishes, but it is a part of America’s history. Groups have been formed to channel hatred, garb it in Christianity, and grab political power. Indiana’s kkk had a jump on that in the 1920s, but then its leader was convicted for murder. [FN1] 1/8

Neither the half-million members Indiana’s kkk claimed nor hatred the kkk espoused evaporated. This coming Tuesday will be the final day of the 2024 elections. Micah Beckwith, Hamilton County preacher & the…

IN’s GOP, today, texted ppl to vote. 4 GOP candidates seek Statewide office, but photos of only 3 [FN1] & trump are at the top. One line of text ID’s each of the 4 & there’s even “Your local Republican House candidate.” [FN2] Micah Beckwith is not mentioned. [FN3] 1/14

Neither does Beckwith’s name appear on most posters, yard signs or ads. Voters should see this NOT as a snit between two politicians, but as Braun’s really lousy style of management. Braun had a full year after…
