From Eisenhower to President Obama to Trump to Cozumel

I was born in 1957 in San Diego. My father was an officer in the U.S. Navy at Balboa. Dwight D. Eisenhower, America’s hero in WWII, was in his second term as president. America was the inspiration of the free world. It was a time when ‘American Exceptionalism’ was beginning to take hold throughout the world.

Then fifty-one years later… Barack Obama won back to back terms as the president of the greatest nation in the world after rescuing the country from the eight years of Bush 43 after the world economies failed.

From a historian’s standpoint…I would say this election was somewhat similar to Obama’s win in 2008 and Reagan’s win in 1980. That being, both of those elections had the same dynamics with domestic economic turmoil with the Iran hostage situation and the two wars in the Middle East we went into with Jimmy Carter first and then 43 in his quest to kill Hussein.

And BTW…that’s something Donald Trump and and I agree on…that being…43’s decision to invade Iraq was the singular dumbest decision in American foreign policy history. I’m over Trump…it’s not even him with me anymore…it’s you 72 million people who voted for him who bother me. Your lack of history acumen, or civics, or just basic integrity is beyond my realm.

I wonder if a black man like Barack Obama hadn’t been elected to those two terms if America as a nation would today have just selected a convicted felon and overall liar and cheat as it’s next president in its effort to take ‘the country back’?

You people who voted for Trump are the ones at this point who bother me. Your complete lack of any respect for the people in our country’s history who served our nation for your freedoms appall me. You voted for the man who said all of those who serve, or who served previously were/are losers, suckers, and chumps.

Yeah…I get it, Kamala Harris is way too far left. I agree. But why didn’t you GOP primary voters just make Nikki Haley, Chris Christy, or Ron Desantis your nominee if Kamala Harris is so bad and out of touch with the center?

If she was that bad…then clearly she would have been beaten by any of those three GOP candidates– one would surely assume.

But I guess they’re Deep State fake as well. Sigh.

So I must conclude at this point…. you people just love Trump’s anti woke/lit standup routine and couldn’t you people give a shit about the actual goverance of our country at what is a very critical time in not only America’s history, but the world history as well.

Where was your courage? If Kamala Harris is as bad as you people make her out to be you’d think my neighbor’s dog could have beten Trump.

25% OF PRO CHOICE WOMEN VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP!

Really???? You gave up your right to choice because a Big Mac and order of fries cost 35% more since Trump’s Pandemic?

I GIVE THE F–K UP!!!!!

I was supposed to be in Arkansas tonight in preparation for another trip down the White River with Captain Dave on Saturday. Captain Dave now treats me better than royalty since I informed him I’m the closest living descendant of Jesse James….which I actually am, no bullshit. He loves guiding ‘famous people’. First Clinton, now MJ. But its going to rain all day tomorrow in NW Arkansas….so that will have to be rescheduled.

Cozumel is calling me. I’m in desperate need of some head clearing.

OU is a road favorite tomorrow on the road at Missouri. Maybe with Deion Burks and Farooq back… my Sooners will give me some emotional solace by becoming bowl eligible for the 26th straight season. Maybe the football gods will show me some pity with a Sooner win.

From Eisenhower to President Obama to Donald Trump…if that chart of cultural descent doesn’t illustrate the deep cultural decline in America …then I don’t know what would.

It’s not about Donald Trump with me anymore. It was a fair election. I won’t break into the Oklahoma state capital and shit all over the walls and piss in Ryan Walters’ office. I’m not you people. That’s not El Prez.

What you people did was stunning. We have learned nothing from the Athenians and Romans. Virtually nothing.

Stunning.

Mexico calls me.
