“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Churchill

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

HCR today leaves me with mixed feelings. Hope, that people are finally starting to live on earth where lies aren’t truth. And still discouraged that it took this long, and this much evil, to even get here. I’ll focus on the hope!

Yep. Free and fair elections, that’s the key. And you’d better believe Trump will do absolutely everything in his power to stay in power.

My concern is how to get more Americans in a lane! I heard someone yesterday say he was resigned that we won’t be a true Democracy any longer. I overheard another person saying they just don’t get involved in “these things”. Resignation and denial will not preserve the constitution!

This is what Trump promised, and here we are.
NEW: A report from pro-voting groups warns that if the Supreme Court rules to gut a key safeguard against racial gerrymanders this term, it’ll be “enough to cement one-party control of the U.S. House for at least a generation.”
