Jayme Closs Found Alive -- some good news in a sea of bad!

It is beyond belief that this young teenager, kidnapped in her own home October 15, had the will and the intelligence to figure out how to get away from the monster who kidnapped her and killed her parents. Kudos, of course, to law enforcement who kept the story alive and kept looking with their ever present professionalism. Thanks to the public for having Jayme's face etched in their minds so that when the time came the rescuers -- a woman walking her dog and a man and woman in their home -- knew who she was and brought this young battered woman to safety.

How important is it for those who own homes and/or have children to trust no one for whom to open their doors unless they are sure they know who it is. In Jayme's case this beast kicked in the door, shot her parents and kidnapped an adolescent. One can only do what is humanly possible.  We see every day in our weapon saturated society how important it is to transmit to your children never to go with anyone they do not know and the ones they do know are deemed trustworthy. I am sickened when I think of the violence this innocent young girl endured. I am afraid to listen to the entire story. I am nearly sure there existed indecent assault. I hope against hope this is not so.

The government shutdown because of Trump's desire, which changes depending on the second he exudes it, for a fake wall of lies costing cheap money not paid for by Mexico and will do nothing to stop the latest boogeyman from seeking the safety of asylum in a nation known for its diversity.  It is eminently important now to take one's safety into their own hands and be always vigilant. There is need for more attention to be paid by the general public to ensure their own welfare as, for example, TSA airport security call in sick because of a sick president's demand of a wall on the southern border experts say is not needed and will not work.

Jayme Closs gave us the good news an American public starving for some good news needed. Thank you, Jayme.  May her days from this moment be filled with moments of joy she so richly deserves, may the so called president suffer the loss for his border wall experts say is mendacious folly and may the government open up returning federal workers to jobs with pay that keep our nation safe.

Democratic Presidential Convention--On to November

  I watched the Democratic convention last evening until my body's demand for sleep overtook me around midnight.  Having followed thin...
