I am an originalist — not the kind who is a self-proclaimed savant claiming to be able to divine the mind of people centuries ago. Instead, I am an originalist interested in perpetuating the message of that great document, the Declaration of Independence, soon to be celebrating it’s 250th anniversary, as well as that of the constitution.
Of course, no document can be perfect. In the case of the constitution, the founders realized this and wisely allowed for amendments. Surely amendments could be useful now.
In any event, most definitely we do not need the resurrection of a protective, isolationist stance which threatens to transmogrify the country from a democracy into a banana republic. As Martin Luther King Junior, said, “Let freedom ring! Let freedom ring!”

On Saturday, December 13, the American actor Dick Van Dyke turns 100. Currently featured on the cover of People magazine, Dick Van Dyke exudes an easy, happy confidence as he begins a second century of life.
After a long life of performing, Mr. Van Dyke has earned the praise of millions of people all over the world. Certainly his artistic accomplishments are many and fine. But best is his advice on the subject of hate – don’t engage; On choosing a career – find something you would do for free;
On daily life - don’t give in to a condition of constant upset over the way things are; And other such jewels of wisdom.
Dick Van Dyke demonstrates the truth in great artistry. It is an attitude of Goodwill. Say, what season of the year does this remind me of?
As Gov. Newsome says powerfully here, “Get up off your knees and fight! We have agency!”
Watch this inspiring and brief video here:Today I took my mental acuity test. I got all three memory words correct, which was as good as anyone EVER!!! I completely past the test on telling time, which they were stupid enough to use the same one as last year.
My wife, Melodia, tells me that she has never heard of anybody doing any better than I did today, and I am 97 years old!
Understand This is a really hard test, and most people struggle with it. But not me. I was absolutely brilliant!
The stupid liberal Dollycrats would be so doped up, they would be lucky to not be dragged out of there!!!,!π ππΌππΌ
Most of this information is true, but the intent was purely for knowing humor.
Upmost importance
Here we have the outlines of the full story of the Epstein matter. This surely is the story of the century to date.
In a courageous move, former members of the military, including senators, have appealed to members of the armed forces not to carry out illegal acts. Watch the public service announcement here:

Dear “Weeknight:”*
Follow the money. You are already partly there as you report on the hidden donors who are contributing $230 million to the ballroom which is set to replace the destroyed East Wing of the White House.
This alone is a big story. But to tag on, there is the far more important story, and that is how such a man as we now have ever got into the White House. Money is a big part of the problem. But motive is a bigger part. MSNBC has begun to delve into this matter.
Fox News is another thing entirely. But there is corruption there, as well as in the White House. As has often been said in the past - - “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
