Most people know when to call it quits.

After more than 25 years on the Phoenix Fire Department, I realized it was time to retire.  I realized it was a young person's job, my body could not take it anymore, and I did not need an endless job .I had other things I wanted to do and see before I died. As most of the people I know, and knew, they knew when they saw the writing on the wall, IT IS TIME TO QUIT.

Giant boxers like the late Muhammad Ali knew when it's time to stop. When CEOs realize they are doing any better in their positions, they resign and step down. A lot of people usually retire when their reach 65, or so, they retire. When businesses keep losing money, they close the doors. And some had to stop because they were assassinated like the late President John Kennedy, his brother Robert, and the late great civil rights leader Martin Luther King. They became martyrs, and so did the assassins.

I really hate bringing politics into my blog, but I believe it has to be said. Past president Trump needs to stop making false statements and his followers need to wake up to true facts of life before this country is thrown in to another civil war like we were in 1861 over slavery.

Mr. Trump is not a dumb man. He knows his power with his party and his followers, and I think he does not realize the ramifications he will cause if he continues his pursuit of the office of president, and inspire the radicals to due things like November 6th at the nation's capitol.

After 12 jurors weighted all of the evidence over a 5 week period, and went into a room to vote on the verdict and came out unanimously "GUILTY on ALL 34 counts", and the judge asked each juror to repeat their individual vote of guilty, Mr. Trump came out of court calling the trial a disgraceful, rigged, corrupt sham orchestrated by President Biden. Oh my God, GET A CLUE! When it has been proven time and time again that the 2020 election was NOT stole and was accurate, he continued to deny it, and his followers believe him. His own family called him a spoiled child while growing up. They said his father let him do what he wanted and pulled him out of problems and legal events he created. He learned from his father how to brush the law to build his empire, by screwing people and businesses. I guess when you have that much money you can always find a string of vicious attorneys to smooth things over so you get what you want. Unfortunately, Mr. Trump does like to lose a losing battle. He would much rather get his way and care less about what it is doing to our country. We are already divided, and he is just putting another wedge in that increasing crack. The worst case scenario that could happen is that Mr. Trump could be elected president while sitting in jail, as a convicted felon, and commanding the USA, as he called it,  a DICTATOR. I hope the people of this country wake up to realize the truth in justice, understand the marks on their ballot will determine the faith of our country and the world.

Mr. Trump epitaph on his headstone should, "SEX, LIES, MONEY AND DENIALS … REPEAT."

PLEASE do your research BEFORE you vote on our future. Take care, stay safe and truthfully informed.
