Pesky cold finally gone, I'm left to contemplate the continuous stream of terror spouting from the WH resident and his horde of ignoramuses. Now DHS wants to create a data base of journos. Good thing I'm on anti-D meds, else I'd have probably slit my throat weeks ago. No, I'm not kidding. I thought the Nixon era was bad, but the current regime has that past one beat hands down.

Don't tell me the system of checks and balances will redress this mess; that system is broken. Don't tell me that I'm being paranoid: a few days ago I was asked at my bank, at which I've been a customer for over a decade, where I was born when opening a savings account. The teller said the question was used to confirm my SSN. Total and utter bullshit. Of course I told her the truth: I'm naturalized. I feel as though it's just a matter of time before ICE bangs on my door.

Most especially, don't tell me the GOP isn't really that bad: all you have to do is look around with open eyes to see that we are in serious danger of losing all our freedoms.

If you care what happens to your family, your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors, you county, your state, your country, please show up at all your local elections this year, and vote your conscience. Not your party, your CONSCIENCE.

May God have mercy on us all.
