original notification, this is just a note
that I won't be sending out news articles each day. Here is why.

Trump just kissed his own ass goodbye. The Republicans will lose the
House, Trump will be impeached, and he will not be re-elected in 2020.
That's my instant analysis.
In fact, he might not last that long. His effort to not get blamed for
a government shutdown has sealed his fate. He got horrible advice from
his staff. Reagan shut it down several times, and pretty much got what
he wanted despite not having majorities in either House. Once
impeached, which is a near certainty, how many of senate castrati will
join Democrats in voting to convict?
This debacle tells me it no longer matters who I vote for. Democrat and
Republican, it's all the same. It doesn't even matter which party is in
the majority. The Senate majority leader, McConnell, has been invisible
since the signing. Maybe he's consulting with the Chinese paymasters
for his wife and himself.
Last year, early in the new administration, Rush Limbaugh interviewed
Vice President Pence on his radio show. Rush asked ... why would anyone
vote for Republicans? I don't recall the answer. A year later it really
doesn't matter which candidate and which party one votes for. Election
day will come and go without notice in my house. Maybe I'll get up the
energy to go to the polling place and make a demonstration: I'll burn
my voter registration card. That's how little voting means today.
No, I don't feel any better about it now. In fact, voting and
political activism or even rooting means essentially nothing.
Each day
I send out between ten and 20 articles, mostly political. With
them,
it is my hope, people are better informed and that may help when
confronting the "lesser breeds without the law." However, what
Trump
has done is so egregious, and comes from a Congress so compromised,
that information, confrontation and voting mean essentially
nothing.
We came. We fought. We lost.
I now see no reason to continue sending out the articles, and so I
won't. I'm not going anywhere, but I'm not going to waste my time.
