   I am a baby boomer. When I was a kid there was a saying “Don`t trust anyone over 30” (years old). That’s for a lot of reasons not the least of which was drafting teenagers to fill the ranks for combat in Indochina. Why? To keep the communists out of the US. With LBJs Civil Rights Act Jim Crow collapsed. MLK leading the Civil rights charge was murdered by a fanatic convinced the Reverend was a communist. Well, now we have septuagenerarians lining up to make repeated runs to ride the desk in the Oval Office. Not a bright eye or a bright idea of US’s young talent anywhere in the wind. It’s sick. The GOP is numerically inferior. GOP can’t win anywhere without enforcement of voter suppression measuress. Not that Dems are blameless. The Dems were the party of racial segregation and organized injustice. Why? Communists! I don’t believe America’s top leadership should exclude visionary youth from the policymaking and the power of our great and solid people to make a better future than the past ever was. And I don’t mean the mean, new extremist QAnon theorists- their disgraceful toxic rhetorical monkeyshines is a national disgrace.. simply stupid and vile. Youth being a relative term, I would recommend Georgia Governor Brian Kemp for president in 2024. He is solid and trustworthy. I believe Mr. Kemp would represent the people in a rational, dignified manner. Word.

   The U.S. government today is a loveable teddy bear compared to those days. I was 15 when the US pulled out of the Vietnam War in 1975. I was a youth petrified my number would come up (in the draft) to be killed in the jungle on the other side of the world. A reality that many faced the hard way. I was no Rambo (a fictional character who did not even exist then). It’s a volunteer military now. That’s a better model. The toxin in the politics today is vast money held by a few. The Bear, if elected, gets a pass every time. Even a major hacking incident against central US government departments before the last election by the Russians barely generated a raised eyebrow in the media. There was not even a wrist slap for the governing victim responsible for the nations security. It may not be collusion but it is definitely coercion keeping all that quiet. To me that’s more concerning than an angry mob in the thrall of the influencers taking to the street growing angrier. Threats within and outside government is a concern but the operations and the extent to which people are affected is murky. Like the hacking reported before the election someone was probably thinking- they only know what we tell them- I can probably use this widespread security breach (an offense against the US) later to my (personal) advantage. Thoughts, y’all
