I wrote this maybe a month before the election and with a week and a half to go I was as certain as ever. It is a very odd thing to me that a candidate with the campaign slogan ” stronger together “, is part of a machine that loves to devide people into groups and pit them against each other. It is also an odd thing to see the amount of hypocrisy required to call your opponent out for belittling and making fun of individuals while singling out an entire block of voters and calling them deplorable. With all the smoke this campaign produced, not one democrat yelled fire. With everything that came out through WikiLeaks, I never heard one of them ask if just maybe it were true. Then a laptop used by the husband of a Clinton aid turned up some emails that were not accounted for because the Clinton machine destroyed subpoenaed evidence,by hammer, by bleachbit and any and every way they could. As crafty and slick as ever, apparently they were unaware of this Achilles heel. Then out steps Paris and yippy dippy doo, like a Greek god, and just before the buzzer Anthony are you s******* me Weiner, swings this whole election toward the only candidate I dislike almost as much as this evil woman. In the end even that meant nothing to a left that could not accept a blow hard old womanizer. If only they knew how to take their own medicine . Donald Trump, or should I say…. President Donald Trump! How can I describe how I feel today? With a story.
When I was in school, somebody talked me into buying a chance on something the school was raffling off and because I had no chance of winning, I never even asked what it was on. So I walk I into the school Monday morning and a couple of the kids told me I had won! Right, very funny. As it turns out, I did win! A blanket. Wow,that’s every 14 year old boy’s dream. So, this morning I am celebrating a lot like that.

There are a few things that are so horribly bad that we just disconnect, unable to accept reality. I’m just fine because I have been preparing for this moment for months but many of you are walking around like the walking dead. Give it time. You are grieving and over time it will pass. Your country has been infected by a terminal disease. There is no saving what we were. I can’t believe it happened so quickly but we have been changed into something different. Something very needy, and dependent, and greedy, lazy, and I really wonder where we go from here. Can we be friends again while you are stealing my retirement, my guns, and the ability to complain about sucking the blood from my veins? I hope we can. Here’s a few things I’ve learned from this nightmare….

1. The quality of the candidate does not matter. ( This is a classic case of playing down to your competition.)
2. Facts no longer matter.
3. Truth no longer matters.
4. Laws no longer matter.
5. Morality no longer matters. ( I would not shake hands with either of them.)
6. Voting no longer matters. ( Some of you guys would vote for a rock if it had an R on it and the rock with a D would actually receive more votes than they have voters).
7. Conservatism no longer matters.
8. Freedom no longer matters.

The pendulum appears to be swinging back toward the center. If we are ever to find common ground,it is now. It is a new world out there. I for one don’t plan on gloating but for now…. eat, drink and be merry. I have friends and family that I loved before this nightmare started and now that it is behind us, I still feel the same. So my pleading comes to an end and like king David in second Samuel, chapter 12, verses 21 – 23, we now know God’s will in this matter and it is time for cookies and milk….. maybe a valium. Definitely a valium.
