My theme for this year’s A to Z Challenge is the A to Z of Democracy. This is your trigger warning. If you are going to be bothered by my descriptions of what I believe America should look and feel like, please stop reading and come back next year when my topic may go back to music or scrapbooking or interesting tidbits. Please respect my space and DO NOT leave disinformation or inflammatory statements in the comments. It’s my blog and I will delete them. Thanks for your cooperation.
| Zealous Representation | Zero Sum Confrontation |
| Working hard to represent the people who elected you. | One side wins, the other loses. Not cooperating even when mutual benefit is a possible outcome. |
Zealous representation is exactly what we need right now and sometimes I don’t think we’re getting it. I guess it is hard to get over the feeling that we need to “play fair,” especially when the other side is so dishonest and unprincipled. I wonder where we would be at this moment if Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice had prosecuted #47 and his cronies for what happened on January 6, 2021. What if congress had done it’s job and impeached him at that time? He would not have been able to run for another term.
Instead we have a heads I win, tails you lose situation going on. The congress people can’t seem to agree on anything that will benefit anybody other than #47 and his rich friends. How much lower are we as a nation going to sink? How many more rights are we going to lose? We have to take back some control in November.
As always, credit goes to Speaker Hakeem Jeffries who gave an impassioned speech on the floor of the House of Representatives at the beginning of the 218th congress.
And there you have it. Made it through the A to Z Challenge this year. Next year I’ll go back to something a little lighter. Thanks for hanging out with me.

Let’s hope someone does the right thing before it’s too late for all of us.

With the latest “Supreme” court decision it’s not going to be any easier.
