I have not written in a looong time, but didn’t feel the need nor the motivation. Now, things are different.

I don’t know if it’s the political climate in this country or the major renovations I have decided to undertake in my house but I am not sleeping well & wake up jangled every morning. So, I’m here to talk about it.

Currently, the country is a mess, a bigger mess than it has been in years. Thanks #Obama and crew!

#Charlotte, NC is now a war zone, thanks to #Obama’s failed policies. He has caused more racial division than we’ve seen since the likes of the 60’s. #BLM & others “supposedly” angry with the way young black men are being treated and killed by the police are rioting in the streets like a pack of angry dogs. I would understand a peaceful protest which is what it’s supposed to be, but it has degenerated into outright mayhem. Some of the “protesters” are terrorizing other citizens, businesses and the #police. I can’t say I can understand black people’s strifes, I am afterall white, but I do believe that obeying the law would help

It is shameful and horrendous to see the progress we had made in this wonderful country in race relations blown away before our very eyes in 8 yrs. Is it all a plot to help the disintegration of #America as we knew her? Are there darker forces at work behind the scene? I’m sure some people protesting are really doing it because they believe in their cause, but many have disinformation and are acting on that.

Police seem to get no respect nor are allowed to do their jobs in this current #America. I tip my hat to the police, for having a thankless job, to protect the citizenry from those who would break the law is not an easy job, especially when being harassed, antagonized, catcalled and disrespected.

The height of hypocrisy is rampantly alive in #America. Those same people who do not respect police and our laws will be the very same who want protection under the law. I don’t understand how that is supposed to work. I don’t believe I am alone in my thinking.

There are so many citizens who are perplexed and horrified by the racial unrest. We personally have done nothing to exacerbate it, foment it nor cause it. I have nothing but respect for my fellow citizens who love and respect #America and her laws whatever their race, creed or color …but when you do not respect the laws, you are part of the problem.

That is all for now…….
