Five Things I Didn’t Do This Week
“I fell asleep in America and this is what I woke up to.”

We have the chief executive threatening more violence on his people, suspending Constitutional rights and questioning whether we should have mid-terms.

We’re in treacherous times and if this isn’t the America you recognize, we need you.

New sidewalks announced …

I’ve been up and down George Ave in Norwalk my entire life and it’s always been a dangerous road. Too much speeding, no sidewalks for pedestrians, and a cut through.

Thanks to state funding State Rep. Dominique Johnson and I secured, George Ave will see sidewalks.

“ICE is totally out of control, and it must end. What we saw in the murder of Ms. Good really just showed what is wrong with the Trump regime right now here in the United States of America. What we have is lawlessness, we have corruption, and we have chaos.”

Five years ago there was an Insurrection on our government and attempt to overthrow our 2020 presidential election by Trump, MAGA and their minions.

Thankfully, there was enough brave law enforcement, concerned citizens and elected officials who would not let a mob destroy the U.S. Capitol.

He's taken three cognitive tests that we know of in a year, and had a CT scan that still hasn't been fully explained. He falls asleep while announcing military action. Our troops deserve a Commander-in-Chief who is up to the job.
