What should matter-enough is enough

Forget political parties, liberal or conservative, left or right. Even forget ideology.

Focus on credibility, integrity, empathy, humility, dignity and honesty.

Focus on the behavior you admire in others, that you expect of friends and people you deal with every day, behavior you expect of your children.

Do you see in our current president any of the qualities you admire in the people in your life?

Do you behave toward others as our president does?

Do you treat others as he does?

Do you lie repeatedly to people you pretend to be helping?


There have been past presidents lacking in one or more of those qualities. One even killed someone.

Many survived incredible hardship and person tragedy. Several served their country in war.

Some honest men were undone by scandals created by the people they hired to help them. A few were so honest they couldn’t play the political game.

And a few were so obsessed with control and their own authority they thought they could ignore the system and were undone by their arrogance.

Some were highly competent and others not so much. Some were good leaders, other fell short.


Donald Trump has only taken, but given nothing to his country, lies repeatedly, bullies and brags incessantly. He displays no understanding or empathy toward his fellow citizens especially those not born with a silver spoon.

He promotes hate and mistrust. He ignores the rule of law and due process.

Mr. Trump is narcissistic, uncouth, corrupt and a danger to American democracy. He suffers from megalomania. He has used the office to enrich himself and his family, and sullied the image of the United States around the world.

His current 36 percent approval rating in Gallup is lower than that of every elected modern president at the end of their first year, lower even than it was in his first term (39 percent) and seven percentage points below the next-lowest (Joseph R. Biden Jr., at 43 percent).

If compared against presidents who served two terms consecutively, Mr. Trump is still below each of them at the end of their fifth year, except Mr. Nixon, who had plummeted to 29 percent in the throes of Watergate. NYTs


President Trump’s takeover of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts reached its inevitable apogee on Thursday afternoon when it was announced that the center’s board of trustees had voted to rename it the Trump-Kennedy Center.

He has no respect for anything or anyone.

If you think any of this is inaccurate, tell us why?

    so what; the border is closed–the war in the Middle East seems to be over and now Gaza needs rebuilding; DEI is no longer, our European allies are now paying close to a fair share for our protection; regulations strangling the economy are being dismantled, fossil fuels are no longer on the hit list.

    many of your usual rants are true but you brought them on with disregard for your fellow citizens who you have insulted over and over again. Lies like questioning the invasion of illegals, a demented president who we were told was fine and a “cheap fake”, and Hunter’s laptop .

    yes, Trump has issues but worse are the loons on the left.

    1. so what;

      Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a legal resident granted asylum and working toward citizenship legally. He had a child, an American citizen. I’m guessing Kilmar was not a saint. Who is?

      He was admittedly illegally deported, not just to his home country, but to a hell-hole prison, potentially for life. Trump and most of his cabinet, instead of admitting their error (INTENTIONAL error), demonized Kilmar mercilessly. They ain’t done yet.

      The same thing could happen to me. Or you.

      that’s what

    2. I think you need to take a closer look at what is happening and where it is going and just listen to him. I never voted for a Democrat, except last election, but what have those “loons” done that harmed you and our country?

      1. looks to me like a $38 trillion deficit is one area the loons on the left have given us. Social programs make up a very large % of the debt.

        almost every blue state has financial issues which is why so many red states are growing in population. Heck, we are in San

      2. Social programs do not make up a larger percentage of the debt. Social security and Medicare are large, but Social Security does not add to the debt.
