There's Nothing There...

 With Hillary Clinton opening, and Barack Obama and his wife (who was originally from Chicago, like me, raised in an intact family with a union class father heading the home) giving banger speeches yesterday that the activist journOlist class who helped put him in office really really like, it become more and more clear from Tim Walz speech yesterday there is no real #Change coming in the Dem ticket, just a change of characters.

What About Palestine?

Tim Walz continued on with the offense, and the size joke and the division of our country.  "When We Fight.. We Win."  No sir. You win. Barack wins, Tim wins...

The Minnesota Legislature that passed all the progressive bills the people off this nation would like to see that serve the people of this nation didn't come through "fighting". They came through wise legislating, and truth be told?  Tim Walz was not exactly leading the charge... The Legislature did that work with a Dem majority, at the behest of the Minnesotans who were SICK OF THE FIGHTING up here after the riots and racial issues that were finally exposed and brought to light, with the courts stepping in and juries of  the people guiding the way to justice.

Coach Tim is taking a lot of credit for his state's legislative success of late, and that's fine, but how we he  transfer his leadership skills into united the team not just to win and election but to deliver results?

I'm not sure, based on his speech last night, that he can.  Again, we're not going to throw body blocks for Kamala Harris if she is goin to continue Joe Biden's foreign policies.

People, Zelensky under Ukraine is attacking Russia proper with our weapons.  Can you IMAGINE if China or Russia armed Mexico and directed Mexican citizens to attack the United States to kill civilians here in their homes and capture border towns?

Israel has absolutely obliterated the property holdings of their neighbor, and has attacked at least three sovereign nations since then with American weapons, retreating then behind their Iron Dome that America built to protect their own civilians and government leaders from retaliation after their intelligence agencies continually assassinate without trial other people's leaders...

Sound familiar?  It's here now. Will we simply accept our leaders being assassinated here at home as part of the devolution of warfare?  How about the deaths of children?  Did Sandy Hook teach us that's the price to pay for living in a militarized world that America has helped arm up?

The progressives don't want to worship the gun, and know there is so much more to life than what a football coach, charming as he might be, can teach you...

You have to think, ahead, and figjure out a way for the TEAM to win. Sometimes, that's not a physical fight or asking your grunts to do the work so the star player can run up his or her statistics on the field, even if the team as a whole loses...

Barry O did that.  His wife didn't play the game, but oh was her life lifted when her star quarterback shined from 2008 to 2016 ... and he took her out of town with him, never to return just to visit, after he hit the big time.  They are like celebrities now to the people who helped them win, big, but who now are not enjoying the same success...

Does it sound like the Dems have any plans to make any changes from these past four years under Joe Biden?  Do you see a future for America on that stage, or our Glory Days?  Do you think that team will be competitive, and feature players who can contribute here and there with their own developed skills and push the team to win, or do you think the journOlists covering the game, most of them, are "homers", pushing for their team to win and overrating the current skill set of the team long on the field...

The convention is closing soon. Where is the #Change?  Where is the playbook for the national issues?  I get it, you have to keep things secret to suprise other teams like Netanyahu's Israel, who might play in the same conference as the US but is not on our team, a local rival at best... He knows who he is playing for, and that his team wins when America takes out, maybe helps kneecap, other hated teams that also play hard.  

Israel under "Coach" Netanyahu has ditched the playbook and killed off the refs and started taking aim and firing at those civilians in the stands...

Asking us to help throw body blocks for your celebrity star players who never bring the winning home to us for very long to enjoy during the peaceful off seasons, is not going to win the season, even if you take a big game in November say, Coach Walz.  Do you get that?  

JD Vance does.  He got suckered into serving in a war that most servicemembers now realize was for naught. Some got Social Security disability, some got educations and jobs, some get extra for their service in a war zone... It's not like the war did not pay of for some, but overall, it was a losing mission or our country.

And where we are now in America and in the world is not promising...

Football is  game, life is real.  People got really burned by the Obama brand of success and Donald Trump took note and addressed that.  The energy you see today isn't really from Tim Walz coming in as an outsider to coach the same old same old players starring in the game today to victory.  It's coming from the younger players/voters taking the field...

Don't keep the kids on the sidelines, and I don't mean the scholar athletes like Pete B, or all those carrying clipboards on the sidelines who have served this team in an official capacity for years.  Bring in the fresh blood, the younger minds, the stronger bodies, the NEW IDEAS.  Take some advice, Coach, from those teams like the Minnesota Legislature who did win one or two or many "for the team".

They delivered results felt throughout the crowd, not just the enjoying being near the rewards that befell the star players on the field who lost and left us to many losing seasons in their wake, but were handsomely rewarded for their play despite what they left behind...

That's not really winning, and not many people are going to keep throwing body blocks for teams run like that in the future.  We dumb, but we ain't stupid.  Your guys gotta either take some hits too, or start winning big for all of us.  

It sickens good people to see their taxes go to kill children.  Get your mind off the fun and games, Coach, and talk about that if you really want to lead this new team assembling?  They're starting to shoot into the crowds, dammit.  That's not winning no matter who is cheering and urging us on.

Maybe America is not best served by players from the warrior classes but those who are more into the cerebral cardio enhancing games, like running or swimming, where the scholar athletes are the thinkers who can look past their sports days and still have careers based on brainwork, not continually "fighting"'?

ADDED:  Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass if Minnesotans who see the US as "uncommitted" to real #Change stayed home in November and Minnesota went red for Trump? Michigan and Wisconsin too?  Midwesterners are anti war, and we think it absurd to be bombing and tasked with building what was bombed and trying to save the survivors of our joint bombing campaigns throughout the world.  Makes no common sense... and we don't routinely slaughter new life to protect the old here either.

Circle of Life is natural, it incorporates consequences and nobody lives forever, even if they try, as in cases of men like Ariel Sharon, say, the original "butcher of Beirut" who was eight years in a coma clinging to what was called "life" before Death finally took him too.

Our old in America are flourishing while collecting monthly checks, multiple homes many of them like the Obamas and Romneys and almost all of those who have too much in our current economic system while our workers have precious little rights as non citizens and many still believe "might makes right" and comes from those holding the guns in our society...

We the faithful don't believe that. We believe in God, family, country.  We need a leadership class now worthy of us. One that has the courage to speak out, even against allies, that keep killing kids as we watch.

ADDED:  What do Oprah Winfrey, the Obamas, and the Clintons all have in common?

They have too much. They "won" while their fellow countrymen have not won big and more and more are sleeping on the streets, cannot afford homes or to start families.  You can't win wars, but you CAN address the economic inequality built into a system that benefits "Bigs" like you while we have hollowed out the working and middle class American communities while you've gone international with y/our riches.

Remind me:  did Oprah ever spent time on Jeffrey Epstein's island or plane?
