A near tragedy in PA has brings back another bad image on American history.

 This morning, as I sat down to watch CBS's Sunday Morning, a news bulletin came on stating former President Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania. I thought to myself, "Oh no, not again." As much as I dislike Trump for what I believe he would do to our country if reelected, I would NEVER wish that on him. What a stupid, stupid move on the part of the shooter and anyone connected to the attempt.

Years ago, after I witnessed (courtesy of TV) the assassinations of President Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King and the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, I was appalled at a young man, on a building beyond the Secret Service's parameters, could even think of the attempt. This is what radials do. If you disagree with someone, just kill them? That is NOT the right way to do things.  We can all agree to disagree on any topic, but radical violence is not the way to justify your believes. It makes the supporters rally around the person wronged. 

I do give President Biden credit for calling Mr. Trump and wishing him well. I believe that makes Biden a bigger man for having compassion for his presidential opponent. President Biden may not be the strongest candidate against Trump, but right now, if you don't want Trump, Biden is the best hope we have. And to change the Democratic agenda now, would throw the whole election into a tail spin. As if it isn't already.

Mr. Trump is not my pick to be president, nor do I particularly care for him because of his lying, infidelity and back stabbing.  But he, and anyone else, do not deserve to be shot and/or assassinated because of it. The people's voice determines the voting process outcome, not a bullet to the head. The other bad image is the innocent supporters at the rally who were collateral damage in this senseless attempt. One died and one or more injured. Shameful.

I will keep this short because I believe everyone will agree, this is not the USA we want.  Make you voice heard on the first Tuesday of November, not because he was shot, but because we want the right person in the White House, that will do the right thing for our country and it's citizens.. 

Take care and stay safe.
