In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?
20% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.
80% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.
0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

Your letter to Lucille is interesting. She, like my sister, is suffering from "being tied up in nots" = thou shalt not do this and that! She takes great pride in the Dean's List, but was driven to perfection by our Baby Boom ideals and religion of the South.

I was blessed with a wise and intelligent father who saw behind all things SBC and Southern. He went to Mercer under threat from the little ladies of Moon's Grove Baptist Church outside Athens that "they will ruin your faith!"

We are back home after a great High School Reunion celebrating 50 years. I actually graduated with the class of '63 by taking summer school English and taking enough units to get out just before Kennedy was killed.

I have lived here for the last 5 years. We met as I did work at your house after Irene. Instantly I was struck with how a man leaning Democrat and a man leaning Republican could be so similar in basic philosophy and outlook.

Four years ago the State Statute required re-evaluation across NC. Our local tax office here in Beaufort County honestly told them the real estate bubble had burst and prices were going down rather than up.

Tom Campbell wrote an excellent article concerning why he predicts a low turnout in the upcoming Primary Election, May 6. He seems to think the economy and jobs is what might rouse people to the polls.

I was messaged on my chat by Vivan Louis who has a Facebook page. She said she was informing me of my winning the Lottery for $5,0000. Even sent me a certificate with Mark Zukerberg's picture on it to that effect with my name = slick.

The February issue of Smithsonian has a most interesting story for me: "The Last Days of Blackbeard" by Colin Woodard gives a brief overview of things discovered in about the last 10-20 years of contemporary research.

We live "by the River" at Bayview. Our little "fisherman's cottage" was built in the late 40's and early 50's. The first lot was bought under the shade of the oak tree at auction.

It was a great meeting with a great discovery = we get to direct our own show here. The DOT has changed it's whole approach. No longer are they wanting to cram things down our throats.

I am the first of the baby boom generation. Our moms and dads, aunts and uncles went to make the world free of tyranny. From all over they put their blood on the ground in battle.

I lean Democrat, but vote my conscience without regard to party. I was part of the first Title XX Funds committee for the Santee-Wateree 5 county district in SC (early 70's).
