I am not the Founding Father who said, "Give me liberty or give me death," but I am someone who cares about liberty, the Constitution, the rule of law, and the ideal of equal justice under the law.

My daughter passed away in 2024 and left a hole in my life that can never be filled. My daughter was a lot of things, a gentle soul, English scholar, poet, nurse, and dog lover. She loved many dogs, but Mr. Rudy Sherman was the love of her life. Rudy was beautiful, intelligent, an mischievous.

Tomorrow will be the second Father’s Day since my daughter died. I still have a son that I love, but I just can’t think about Father’s Day without being sad.

Imagine how much better the world would be if more people lived according to the spirit of the Keb Mo-Taj Mahal song “Room on the the Porch.” For example: “All of our friends are now your friends. That’s how we do it here.”

My daughter was a nurse who risked her life to save COVID patients and survived. In 2024 she caught a different virus from one of her patients. This virus put my wife in the hospital and killed my daughter. If a vaccine is developed for this virus, it probably won't be done in the U.S.

My daughter passed away in May 2024. In June a neighborhood cat that she called “Kitty” came to our house and looked in one of the small glass windows that line each side of our front door. She was looking for my daughter. The first thought that ran through my mind was, “Kitty, she is not here.”

In case you were wondering if I am a college graduate, yes I am, but I have watched a lot of TV since then, so I am pretty much back to normal now. In fact, I may have overshot normal on the way down.

My daughter passed away last year. I created this drawing of her basenji for her birthday card several years ago. The caption on the card is a quote from Fred A. Clark that reads: “Everyone is trying to accomplish something big not realizing that life is made up of small things.”

Trump’s tariffs and other policies are already causing prices to increase and GDP to decline. The FED cannot reduce interest rates to boost GDP without driving prices up. If Trump gets his way and forces the FED to reduce rates, we will see a return of the stagflation.

Federal Reserve data shows that the amount of U.S. wealth owned by the top 1% of the population has increased from 22.8% in 1989 to 30.8% in 2024. The Supreme Court has made it easier for people with money to influence political outcomes. It’s not surprising that our republic is endangered.

We are cutting NIH, CDC, USAID, and other organizations that work to keep us alive. We also have a vaccination and science denier in charge of HHS. Remember when Trump malfeasance caused tens of thousands of Americans to needlessly die from COVID. What could go wrong?

Currently the U.S., Russia, China, the U.K. France, Pakistan, India, Isreal, and North Korea have nuclear weapons. The U.S. and our former allies have worked to limit the proliferation of these weapons. Now that we have abandoned our allies, more countries with develop nukes. Do you feel safe?

The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 was passed to ensure that the President spends the money Congress appropriates in the way intended. Civil service employees have legal protections designed to prevent arbitrary terminations. These are just a couple examples of laws being ignored by Trump and Musk.

Trump is placing loyalists in charge of our military and justice organizations. He and Musk are shredding the Constitution. It is only a matter of time before Congress realizes that they are not needed anymore. Don’t expect the cavalry to come. We must all resist in any way we can.

The Secretary of Defense has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stop all operational planning against Russia. Musk’s hackers have control of our government’s most critical computer systems. The FBI is downsizing. The Director of National Intelligence is a Russian sympathizer. Do you feel safe?

Now that Trump has aligned the U.S. with Russia and has had the classified documents he stole from us returned to Mar-a-Lago, how long will it take for the most sensitive documents to end up in Putin’s hands.

George W. Bush popularized the phrase “axis of evil.” Now that the U.S. voted against a U.N. resolution to condemn Russia for the war it started in Ukraine, we must be part of a new axis of evil.

FDR said “The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

OLL (oll.libertyfund.org) states that James Madison, the father of our Constitution, believed in the separation of powers in our government because “men are not angels.” Had he foreseen the difficulty we are now in, he might not have given all enforcement authority to the executive branch.

Many people have sacrificed to preserve our liberties and defend our government. I am reminded by words from Union soldier Sullivan Ballou’s last letter to his wife: “I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in, the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter.”

Whatever shred of democracy we have left depends on informed, trusted, and courageous information sources. The billionaires now control the print, cable, and online media that many people use. Many journalists are cowed by Trump and Musk. Seek out and support good sources of information.

My mother used to tell me, “you didn’t listen, so now you have to feel.” What came next was painful. Leading up to the 2024 election, we were all warned about Project 2025, but some people didn’t listen. Now we all have to feel.

OLL (oll.libertyfund.org) quotes Thomas Jefferson’s warning that “it would only be a matter of time before the American system of government degenerated into a form of ‘elective despotism,’” and that we must act to keep “the wolf out of the fold.” The wolf is in the fold now.

Trump’s Supreme Court has ruled that he cannot be prosecuted for his “official” acts as President. Recently, the White House posted a fake Time magazine cover showing Trump wearing a crown and the caption “Long Live the King.”
