Hello there! Here’s a new report. Trump’s course of action is really inexcusable and I highly recommend that VP Mike Pence is in charge for these remaining 4 months prior to the November election. It is imperative for not only for Black Lives Matter, but also troop moral in our military, and motivation in our intelligence community. A lot of us really have it up to here. Remember one of my old blogpost, if all I want to do is “flip a table,” imagine what a soldier wants to do to a punching bag after he’s reading allegations about Russia disturbing the peace process in Afghanistan, and Trump looking the other way. That is simply no bueno.

Anyway, everybody, be there for one other, stay strong, it’s about to be July, we got about 4 more months. If you haven’t registered to vote, better get to it. We need Joe Biden to beat Trump. Please listen to Jon Stewart. Joe has dealt with grief in his lifetime, and as a result, it has humbled him. Joe has learned a lot over the years. I still feel Bernie was the better candidate but, we simply cannot afford 4 more years of Trump. So, pretty please, register to vote, and get involved on local, state, and national levels of the 2020 elections. I thank you.

Until next time!
