THOMAS JEFFERSON SURVIVES

 The John Admas -Thomas Jefferson feud is one of the most unusual historical occurrences of the Fourth of July. Both men were founding fathers of our country and compatriots at the time of the revolution.  When Jefferson defeated Adams for the presidency, Adans sent Jefferson a text   a note wishing him well. Jefferson did not respond and it started a feud where the men did not speak for over a dozen years. 

Eventually there was a rapprochement of sorts, but the men did not speak much, and their rivalry continued. Fast forward to July 4, 1826.  exactly fifty years after the declaration of Independence. Jefferson was 83 and Adams was 90. 

As Adams lay on his death bed, his last words as he knew his death was impending, were of his old friend and rival- "Thomas Jefferson Survives".  Adams then died. 

A few hours later, on July 4, 1826, Thomas Jefferson died. 

These two giants of men- their character and intellect and philosophical thought provided the foundation for a great nation, died hours apart fifty years to the momentous day when they brought forth upon the earth a society founded on principles of freedom and democracy. 

These principles, we argue, led to one nation amongst all others with the intellectual and industrial ability to land humans on the moon, to save Europe twice from oppression, and to  accept a statue of Liberty upon its shores welcoming those who want only a chance to use the abilities they have been endowed with by the creator. 

On this July 4, Jefferson and Adams survive- in thought, ideas and principles. 

Their nation hangs precariously on the precipice of losing the ideals they brought forth. But we are not scared. We have been here before and prevailed. 

We shall do so again. 

Happy Fourth of July. 

And now to the important  issue- what do you put on your hot dog? We are a brown mustard, with a dash of ketchup and relish type of guy. 

 

CLEENEY AMENDED ORDER

 This is the order that was filed.  The prior one was a draft. 

Pardon our delay- there was a federal judge in Los Angeles that kept us on our toes for the last two weeks. But all's well that ends in a rule 29.

WHY WE ARE VOTING FOR JOE BIDEN

UPDATE TWO: THE IMMUNITY OPINION IS OUT! : "We conclude that under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power requires that a former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office. At least with respect to the President's exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute. As for his remaining official actions, he is also entitled to immunity. At the current stage of the proceedings in this case, we need not and do not decide whether that immunity must be absolute or instead whether a presumptive immunity is sufficient. State v. Winton 522 So.2d 463 3rd DCA 1988" 

UPDATE: Good Monday morning. We expect the Supreme Court (Motto "Can anyone loan Clarence their private plane and yacht for the summer?")  to issue its decision on the Trump Immunity appeal today. 

WHY WE ARE VOTING FOR JOE BIDEN

 The President's performance in the debate last week was dismal. And that is being kind. Let's get that out of the way. He was awful, and he is likely too old to be an effective President. Our choice would be the nomination of the Vice President, or Pete Buttigieg the Secretary of Transportation, or Governor Gavin Newsom of California, or Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, or Governor Jared Polis of Colorado, or Mutt Romney, retired Senator from Utah. 

But the reason we will vote to reelect the president is the competency of the government he has built. During the past three and half years we have had one secretary of state, one secretary of defense, one attorney general, one secretary of the treasury. In fact, President Biden has had one of the most stable administrations in Presidential history, Which means the country is being run by professionals. As opposed to the prior administration which had:

Four Chiefs of Staff; Four Secretaries od Defense; Three Attorneys General. 

The list of who the former president fired is extensive. And why did he fire them? Because they were good and decent people who openly expressed loyalty to the Constitution and the nation over the president. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was fired via Twitter. He called the President a "a dumb son of a bitch". The first Secretary of Defense- Jim Mattis- an aesthetic Marine  who lived a quiet, bookish life in between his loyalty to the county and Corps resigned when he would not agree to the troop withdrawals the president wanted. And attorney General William Barr, the second of the Attorney Generals, resigned when he would not agree with the President's crazy legal theories about the election the president lost. 

Roughly 75% of the former president's original cabinet was gone by the third year of his term. And this from a man who bragged about hiring the best and brightest. And what we learned is that the former President does not want the best and brightest. He does not want a "Team Of Rivals" like Lincoln's cabinet, meaning he does not want independent thinkers who do not agree with him. He wants lackeys. And when North Korea is about to invade South Korea, or Russia threatens to invade Poland, or the economy edges to collapse, what we need are professionals in the room. People who are the best in their field and have spent a lifetime preparing for the moment when their country and the world needs them most. And what we know for sure is that Joe Biden will staff the government with those professionals. And the former President will not. 

We do not know if our republic and democracy will withstand four more years of a presidency by someone who open disdains the freedoms of our democracy. Someone who wanted to know why he could not call the military out to shoot the Black Lives Matters Protesters in the legs. Someone who admires, of all people, Vladamir Putin. 

These are dangerous times and we are very very worried. 

HURRICANE BERLY

There is a major Hurricane in the Caribbean. It went from a tropical storm to a Cat 3 within 48 hours, the fastest increase every recorded in a hurricane. Why? BECAUSE THE OCEANS ARE OVERHEATING BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING. 

Which is another reason we are voting for the current President. There are approximately 30-45% of the American public who are so ignorant, so uneducated, and so frightened by global warming that they only way they can deal with it is deny it, and vote for morons who chant drill - baby- drill. 

The ice caps are melting. The oceans are the hottest they have ever been. And we have a major political party who believes that all of the news reports on global warming are engineered by Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and ANTIFA. 

It looks like Berly will miss Florida.
