The Unexpected Is Around The Corner

None of us knows what might occur in our lives at any given moment, because The Unexpected Is Around The Corner and it Always takes us by surprise! I can cite numerous examples of such surprises, but for today I will stick with President Joe Biden’s announcement that came on Sunday, July 21st. declaring to the Nation and to the World that he will finish his term as President and then pass the torch on to his Vice President, Kamala Harris, to be the Democratic Presidential Candidate for the upcoming Election. I must admit that it was a very, very sad moment and very moving and touching to hear his speech from the Oval Office. I wanted to reach out and hug him!

Irrelevant of whether we are Democrats, or Republicans, or of Any Political Affiliation, or Any Nationality, Ethnicity, or Religion realizing that Any Human Being is succumbing to the diminishment of their mental faculties is indeed very painful and sad. Some of us have seen this happen to loved ones, to friends, or have been aware for some time of how devastating this condition is. It is at such moments in life that we should all step away from ourselves and allow our compassion to take over and extend itself to enfold the frailty of our Human Existence, and how Any One of Us could be in that same debilitating and distressing situation. I must admit that despite all my reservations regarding Joe Biden’s foreign policies, I put all those aside, teared up and was quite distraught upon listening to him!

Moreover, Joe Biden has been serving this Nation for the past fifty years. We have known of his trials and tribulations for decades; we have empathized with his personal tragedies, as we have celebrated his successes from being Senator Amtrak Joe, to Vice President to President of these United States. It is a record of which he has every reason to be Proud, and one which we should all acknowledge and appreciate irrelevant of whether we agreed, or disagreed with his policies. It is the decent approach at this precarious time.

Therefore, Any Person choosing to belittle, disparage and debase this Human Being at this time is mere uncivilized, rude and despicable behavior! This goes for Donald Trump and many Republican Politicians and People. Such bad taste! Such foul-mouthed drivel! Such pettiness! Such cruelty! Such offensive reactions! Absolutely shameful! And, from the sounds we’re hearing it seems that the Trump/Vance duo, as well as their Republican chorus and supporters are going to go all out down and dirty, smearing, lying and creating “alternative facts” that should turn off Any Human with half a brain! Yes, they are sharpening the knives! It is nauseating!

President Biden anointed Kamala Harris to be the Presidential candidate. I believe that only time will tell how the Voters will respond to this choice. However, after meeting with Netanyahu on Thursday, July 25th., she made some remarks recapping that meeting and struck all the right chords. Frankly, I teared up as I was listening to her words! Was she being transparent about stating her views on this vital matter? Is she saying mere words to mollify the majority of Humans who believe that the atrocities and the War of Vengeance going on in Gaza and the West Bank are way beyond any acceptable premise? I hope her assistants and policy wonks are not shielding her from the truth that she says she will not be silent about, because I have heard too many appeasing words in my lifetime and I don’t believe that the check is in the mail until the actual cash hits my account! Moreover, did she whisper other words to Netanyahu that contradict her stated public remarks? Or, is she betting on the fact that despite whatever she says, Netanyahu will continue with his Lies, Deceit, Propaganda and Delay, Obfuscate and Muddy the Waters as he usually does in order to continue denying the Palestinian People their Rights? Will he – as he has done previously – stage events in such a way as to go to war on Lebanon and Iran? This sounds like his plan since October, and perhaps even before that. And, will Kamala Harris buy into his hypocritical and cunning arguments, and blame it all on Biden’s Foreign Policies thus absolving herself of bloodied hands? Will she Cower, or go Bold?

I don’t know what will happen! What I do know for a fact is that she is Uniquely Positioned to Insist on Implementing her Objectives As Soon As Possible and to Face Down Netanyahu because No AIPAC, No ADL, No Any Radical Israeli Factions can say that she is Anti-Semitic since her husband is Jewish! They simply Cannot stick that trope of a label on her, although they have successfully done so on some Progressive Jews!

I have prided myself throughout my Voting History in these United States to be an Independent Voter having cast my Vote for Democrats, Republicans and Other Parties. I have also prided myself on Not Being a One Issue Voter, but to judge my choice holistically. However, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East compel me to be the No War Voter. Any War! All Wars! All the US Foreign Misadventures and Screwed Up Policies that only serve the Colonist Enterprise. I have had more than enough of that in my lifetime! Enough Tears! Enough Agony! Enough Cruelty! I have also seen enough Women who assume the Male Macho Mantra of being a War Hawk. Remember Hillary when she gleefully stated her evil and destructive statement about Gaddafi: “We Came. We Saw. He Died.” Utterly despicable, reprehensible and shameful! And, Nancy Pelosi who has never opposed Any War? Another despicable War Hawk! And there are other despicable female journalists, anchors and politicians supporting the murder of children!

Therefore, whom will I cast my Vote For during the Upcoming Election? There are still three more months to go, and three more months during which the Democratic Candidate can either Earn My Vote on the Issues that I have stated, or Another Candidate Will.

Three more months to go and The Unexpected Is Around The Corner!
