There’s a Peet’s Coffee Shop in Folsom I would frequent before taking a moment to reflect on U.S. Military who were deployed in Afghanistan. I am glad they returned safely using the “No One Left Behind” motto, despite how messy the pullout was. While the chapter on Afghanistan is nowhere near over, at least we did it, we defeated the “Military-Industrial-Complex.” Also, America has the capacity to destroy ISIS/ISIL around the globe, and we will use our diplomatic tools to force the Taliban to understand they must respect women/girls to have an education by politely referring them to a YouTube video of a Stealth B-2 Bomber. In addition, please continue to support organizations such as Team Rubicon, and the International Rescue Committee (IRC), who are helping with the influx of new Afghan Refugees. Thank you.

I am very proud that in the first Jan. 6 trial, a jury found Capitol riot defendant Guy Reffitt guilty. This is a win for millions of Americans around the country, especially African-Americans and other minorities. If a young black or brown teenager goes to jail over a little bit of weed, it was imperative that white nationalists who had the audacity to blatantly like and say “Blue Lives Matter” yet go to our Capitol and attack police officers, is completely uncalled for. Thank God the FBI is doing the right thing.

Please remember, if this was a Middle-Easterner, he’d be in Guantanamo Bay right now. Because he is white, he is not getting that treatment. Regardless, Assistant U.S. Attorney Risa Berkower described Reffitt as the “tip of the mob’s spear.”

You’ve earned your glass of Whiskey, Mueller, the work continues.

Happy International Women’s Day! Especially to the Women of Palestine who have been ignored for over 73 years. Everybody is calling the horrors of Ukraine very quickly, yet very mute on Palestine. Your racism has been exposed, and no matter how you play it, you will be forever labeled as a hypocrite. Thank you to the Irish Prime Minister for being the only major European politician to really say it like it is. Thank you.

As I eat my Chinese food and nimble on my sunflower seeds, I’d like to know why the fuck did Bolton not testify against Trump, only to give us more months/years of Evil Trump. I’m bringing this up because Former AG William Barr is doing the same fucking thing. He’s written a book saying how Trump was dangerous and a crazy person. Why didn’t he do something while he was AG? It’s time for the FBI to really kick things into high gears. I implore you. We cannot afford to have Trump still as a threat prior to the Midterms 2022 and subsequent Presidential Elections 2024. If someone could give Mueller some spinach so he could go into Popeye strong mode, it’d be much appreciated. I thank you for listening.

Until Next Time!

I was able to catch up on my book club reading list for the month of February, I hope many of you enjoyed the selection. Have fun talking about these books and comic books amongst yourselves, they are very good.

Let’s pray for the people of Ukraine, we need Peace in Ukraine. In a war in that region, everybody loses. It’s not worth it. It is imperative to arrest Donald Trump immediately. He was praising ‘Putin’s murderous invasion of Ukraine’. Arrest Trump. Arrest him now.

Until Next Time!
