Just Ranting Bout the Times
Well hello friends and welcome to my sublimely, beautiful Sunday. Typically for a post like this, I would share photos of a meal I prepared or perhaps some pretty flowers from my plants. However things being as they are I thought it would be more prudent to post somewhat of a rant.
Can you believe after all this time Josh Hawley goes over to Butler Pennsylvania to check out the scene of the attempted assassination for himself and was run out of the area by the FBI!??!! Just as a reminder Josh Hawley is a United States senator from Missouri...Clearly he should be able to examine the area unhindered.
By the way we certainly haven't gotten very much information out to the public so far. The word and the number of shots fired nor the caliber the weapons used. Well tomorrow the head of the secret service is going to testify before Congress but my hopes for getting some transparency in answers is basically slim to none.
It is clear to anyone, and also rather sad, that the government doesn't even try to answer to the people any longer. Seemingly long gone are the days where government was for the people, by the people, rather it has become the people are solely here to fund whatever the government wishes to do without any accountability or transparency.
These days certainly bring to mine the great song "For What It's Worth" written by Stephen Stills way back in 1966. Here it is preformed by Buffalo Springfield.
I find the lyrics to be aa prescient warning to us today…
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh ooh ooh)
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

It's pretty clear that's true and they are being pretty bold about the part where they are doing what they want while thumbing their noses at the American people. Anybody that WANTS to see, can see it.
I like our flower photos.
I have heard that song an a very long time.
Sad that the things that happens there often because guns are more accessible.
Long gone are those days, lyrics of Stephen Stills very pertinent. Have not listened to Buffalo Springfield in a long time, great rendition, very appropriate taking into consideration the times we living through at the moment.
Politics stink to high heaven!
Truly crazy days we are all living in now!!
