Shoe on Other Foot

The secret to trump’s chaos is simple; he merely hires a lawyer to sue someone. Then, he delays progress on the case until he can’t any longer. Then the case enters a different phase, and he delays progress on that phase. And so on. And on.

He did this in his business. He did this in his academics. He was slow to earn a degree and then attempted other degrees. It is unclear if graduations ever happened.

He had a $2 million gift from his father, then years later, he grifted his father’s estate and got away with $400 million. He bought and sold real estate focused on building new buildings. What worked he banked net income and asset values. What didn’t work he simply tied up in court or walked away without paying his fair share of the losses. And he did this over and over again.

So now the shoe is on the other foot, and we need to wear it well. Do as he has done and continues to do, obfuscate by way of lawsuits that rarely go anywhere. Their value, however, is the time gained by delay. Opponents give up. Opponents are forced to waste money on court costs and attorney fees.

The really big case being begged here is trump’s oath of office. He has sworn in the past to abide by the US Constitution. He has not fulfilled that promise. And he will do so again when inaugurated in January 2025. So, let’s call him out on that with a lawsuit and push it to the Supreme Court. Every step of the way costing him money. Personal money. Because this is his oath, not the governments. In fact, the government is obligated to prosecute this case because it is the basis of the office’s authority. Trump has no authority if he does not comply with the constitution.

I’ll let other attorneys argue this idea. I’m no lawyer. But the logic and facts are there. We need to do something with this.

America is our country. It belongs to all of us. Not just one person or a gaggle of friends. All of us. It is time to do our full duty beyond voting. To stop a tyrant. To stop a self-proclaimed ruler. He is not a monarch. Under our constitution he cannot be a dictator. Only we can make him one by allowing it to happen.

Let’s not allow that. Simple. But it requires hard work and commitment on our part to do.

Are you ready?

Intimacy

As we mature, we become deeply involved in relationships. Some of this is basic family relations – siblings, parental – and the like. Next is friends who enter our homes and we theirs. Neighbors, classmates, mutual hobbyists and so forth. Then we develop friendships that go much deeper. We comfort one another when we are hurting physically or emotionally. We discuss the matters of life and learn much more about ourselves and each other. We can even anticipate how others will react to various situations and stimuli. Good friendships do not spread to everyone we know. No, good friendships are special, close and deeply personal. We focus attention and brainpower on these few friends. Some special relationships focus on specific topics of interest and importance. Yes, we have specialized friendships. Most common. But one day, we get to know one person very well. An emotional connection forms with deep roots. A need to know the person more fully expands in personal ways. We sense this b...

Bits & Pieces

Pie: Apple pie more specifically. With Thanksgiving just passed, many of us enjoyed a good apple pie. Sure, there was pumpkin to accompany the turkey, but in our family multiple pies are offered in the holidays. Apple is surely one. Pecan, pumpkin and others, too. But I almost always choose apple. When I was in college, I was asked what kind of pie did I eat most often. In front of my mom, I answered apple, because I was always looking for a pie as good as mom’s own. Of course my mother was pleased, but it was a true statement just the same. When I was married, Ann’s pie was darned good. Her mother’s recipe. But we fiddled with the recipe until it took on its own generational name, and boy, was it good! Today I still order apple pie for dessert because I am always looking for a great pie to challenge our family recipes. I rarely do find such a prize. Do others do the same? Do you search for a great pie of choice, continually? If you do, what’s your story? Why do you do this? ...

Remembering Tom Sherlock

Tom Sherlock died on Wednesday, April 3rd. He was 65 years old and did not survive a heart surgery. That was his unexpected end and sad enough. But there is more to his story. Tom joined Dan Schuyler and George Safford to create what became the Village Chronicles, a weekly newspaper serving Warrenville, Illinois. That paper expanded to serve Winfield and then West Chicago. The paper published for eight years and built a good reputation for itself. Tom served the paper in several ways. He was our information technology guru, provided hardware and software to support the paper's operations. He was our sole bookkeeper, accountant and financial manager. He designed our distribution process and provided office space for meetings and layout and typesetting. His efforts supported the work of 32 volunteers who wrote and reported on the communities we served.  The newspaper broke even financially most of the time, but it was a struggle. Tom managed to find money to keep the newspaper afloat...
