What my musings are all about...

Blogging might well be the 21st century's form of journaling. As a writing teacher, I have always advised my students to keep a daily journal as a way of organizing their thoughts for future writing projects, a discipline I have unfortunately never consistently practiced myself. By blogging, I might finally be able to follow my own good advice.

The difference between journaling and blogging is that the blogger opens his or her writing to the public, something journal- writers are usually reluctant to do. I am not so reticent.

The trick for me will be to avoid cluttering the internet with more blather, something none of us need more of. If I stick to subjects I know: sports and literature, I believe I can avoid that pitfall. I can't promise that I'll not stray from time to time to comment on ancillary subjects, but I will make every attempt to be interesting and perhaps even insightful.

WUSSY OLDER MALES

In my blog yesterday I took to task two young males, PATRICK MAHOMES AND HIS TEAMMATE, TRAVIS KELCE, calling them WEENIES for their cowardly stance in this coming election.  This  election will determine if our country remains a democracy or becomes an autocracy. The choice can not be more clearly defined between the candidates: it's either the DEMOCRATIC United States of America as conceived and created by our forefathers, or the new AUTOCRATIC dictatorship of Donald Trump. There is NO other way to look at it. Zero. You either man up to your choice or you don't. Women have womened up to their choice and have stated unequivocally they will vote for Kamala Harris. 

The problem is male voters. For the purpose of this blog, WUSSY older males.

Before I begin, let me tell you a story about a business man in Russia as it was  told to me by a mutual friend. This Russian business man, call him Boris, although he hated the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, never spoke out against him, believing his silence proof of his loyalty and that his perceived loyalty would protect his successful business from being swallowed up by Putin and his cronies. It didn't work. One afternoon, Putin's lawyers entered his office with documents proving Putin's cronies owned his company. 

The moral of this story is obvious as this syllogism makes clear:

       1. Dictators don't care if you are a loyal to them. 
       2. Trump wants to be the Dictator of the United States. 
       Ergo, Trump will not be loyal to people who are loyal to him. 

As I did with our NFL WEENIES yesterday on my Blog: Meschery's Musings on Sports, Literature & Life, I will focus on businessmen: Jeff Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong, two billionaire WUSSIES. Bezos owns Amazon and the Washington Post. Soon-Shiong owns the Los Angeles Times. Both newspapers have a long history of truth-telling and award-wining journalism. Sadly, no more. Recently, both editorial boards, the Post and the LA Times have stated that they are not endorsing a candidate. SHAME ON THEM. How wussy can you get? What cowards!

What conclusion can we draw from their cowardice? There is no possible answer other than GREED. They are fearful that if Trump is elected, he will hurt their bottom line. Gentlemen, let me clue you in: Donald Trump is going to go after you anyway, as many business men in autocratic countries who thought they could appease dictators learned the hard way, a few losing their lives.  Donald Trump wants to destroy the FREE press by turning it into a press of obedience to his will, like the press in Russia, like the press in North Korea, like the press in Austria, and like the press in China and Turkey. You will both be out on your cowardly butts, wondering, geez, where did I go wrong? 

You might just look back to the date on your calendar when you made the decision not to endorse Kamala Harris.

But, all is not lost. You have a few days to change your minds and do the courageous thing. Endorse Kamala Harris and help save our democracy. If you don't, you'll get what you deserve. And there will be no tears shed by this blogger. 

From: "COURAGE"    by Anne Sexton

It is in the small things, we see it.
The child's first step
as awesome as an earthquake.
The first time you rode a bike. . . 

                              Mr. Bezos, Mr. Soon-Shiong, ride the bike of courage. 

                              Help save our nation. Don't go down in history as WUSSIES.
