In the film “Apollo 13,” NASA flight director Gene Kranz, told a typhoon might hit the splash down area, as the spacecraft nears re-entry, says if there’s nothing the astronauts can do about it, “Then we don’t need to tell them.” [FN1] A trump return to the WH, w/promises to 1/8

Today, Robert Hubbell [FN1] noted the concern of “readers [] about the lack of a coordinated defense against Trump's efforts to run rough-shod over the Constitution. []Until a national leader emerges to unite the Democratic Party,” it is up to the grassroots to oppose trump. [FN2] 1/7

To yesterday’s blog [FN1] Bill Smythe, whom I respect, replied “you don’t save the constitution by ignoring it.” I said “everyone has ignored Amend XIV sec 3.” He noted it hasn’t been proven “in a court of law” w/not guilty in 2nd impeachment as close as we’ve come. [FN2] [FN3] 1/8

SEO [FN1] leads many searches to one conclusion: allegations of interference in the elections of 2024 & 2020 elections are, and should be treated, the same. [FN2] Few can argue that an end to a chaos, visited on us each day since 2015, is not only welcome, but deserved. 1/15
