The Sheep Dog and His Flock

This sheep dog is covered in his own blood after fighting off wolves protecting his flock, while the sheep gently comforts him. Regardless of how physically strong or emotionally tough someone is, showing them how much you appreciate their efforts goes a long way. The dog is willing to die for his sheep, and the gesture of the sheep comforting him is all he needs. Never take someone for granted who is willing to fight for you or stand by you in your time of need. Appreciate their efforts and show them that you are grateful!

The Right to Vote

December 13, 2023

Dear Mr. Neal,

The right to vote and have that vote counted is the foundation of democracy and liberty—with it, anything is possible; without it, nothing is. But for too many Americans, this fundamental right has long been under attack. We should be making it easier—not harder—for every eligible voter to make their voice heard at the ballot box.

That is why I signed an Executive Order directing an all-of-government effort to promote access to voting, including requiring every federal agency to evaluate ways to promote voter registration and participation. I appointed leaders to the Department of Justice who are committed to defending civil rights and voting rights, and the Department has doubled its voting rights enforcement staff to protect the voting rights of all Americans. And I was proud to sign the bipartisan Electoral Count Act to protect the will of the people and the peaceful transfer of power.

There is so much more we must do to strengthen voting rights protections. I continue to call on Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which together would expand voting access, protect against attempts to undermine the nonpartisan electoral process, and prevent discrimination in voting. We must find a way to debate, vote on, and pass these important bills, so I fully support changing Senate rules to prevent a minority of Senators from blocking action on voting rights. When it comes to protecting majority rule in America, the majority should rule in the United States Senate.

This is a Nation that honors the will of the people. While the battle for the soul of America has many fronts, the right to vote freely and fairly and have that vote counted is the most fundamental. We all have a duty to protect, defend, and stand up for that right.

Sincerely,

Gerrymandering

6th December 2023

Dear Mr. President,

In the modern political climate we have seen all too well what corruption can and has done to the most powerful nation in the history of the world. The Republican Party is becoming more and more Fascist and our paralyzed government is having trouble keeping the lights on. As the margin narrows fanatics cling to power by subverting the will of the people.

One of the ways they do this is by Gerrymandering which is the act of drawing an electoral district in order to influence the outcome of an election. It has been a long held belief now that the voter should pick their representation, and the representation should not pick the voters.

Then and there for, the electoral districts should be drawn by independent committee and designed to reflect the will of the voters with homogeny. This would mean that the representation in government of the people would better reflect their will.

I will grant you that removing Gerrymandering would mean one lest way for Democrats to hold on to power, but the idea of democracy is not holding on to power. The ideal of this nation is to be governed by the people. This means that we should educate our people, see to their needs, and be clear in our intentions. It does not mean to subvert the vote by deluding it into the votes of opposition.

There are many parts of our government that have problems and that are outdated and it would be impossible to change them all in the span of one presidency or even two, but this is one thing we should change. Ban Gerrymandering in any way shape or form.

America belongs to her people,

In 2016

16th September 2024

Okay, Boss,

You’re looking for a man in my age range who has an opinion on “2016”. I’m going to guess you mean the election here, but your instructions are to make a statement of one to two hundred words off the cuff without doing research. Well, here goes.

In 2016 the American people were given a choice between an entrenched politician and a wildcard who had conflicting methodologies. Clinton, the entrenched politician, preached a realistic attitude that foretold the fall of the coal industry and made no falsehoods about the change that was in the future of the country. Trump, wild card, preached a return to the golden age of America telling coal workers that he would protect their jobs. Faced with a dismal truth or a hopeful lie enough people accepted the lie as their best hope placing Donald Trump in power. Other factors tipped the needle in Trump’s direction like poorly timed investigation announcements and Russian interference. The Clinton camp thought it was a no contest win and got complacent. Any one of these could have been the tipping point for the election, but it is widely considered a wind gust victory for Trump.

That’s what comes off the top of my head anyway. I mean, I’ve looked at what happened a few times and have strong opinions of it, but that’s what I can sum it up as on the fly.

Best,



Richard Leland Neal

Scooby-Doo! - Masks Come Off

Velma puts the clues together: the villains created a story about a witch and a zombie to scare people away so they could use a metal-tipped pole to search for a car filled with money that they hijacked. They perfected their illusion with powder bombs to make it look like they could disappear. And they would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for these meddlin’ kids!

Scooby-Doo! - Capturing a Witch

The villains see the money bags in the swamp and rush towards them, cackling: “Money! Money! Money!”. Suddenly, Shaggy and Scooby jump out of the sacks and the monsters give chase. “Duck!” Fred calls, and a tree branch is released, sweeping the Witch, the Zombie and poor Scooby into a cart. The captured villains are tied up, the sheriff arrives and Velma pulls off their masks - it’s Zeb and Zeke!
