6/20
Yesterday was Juneteenth. I’m sorry to say that I have not heard of this. It is front and center now because of all the protests and injustices still experienced by citizens of color. It is the real day of freedom from slavery. Not when the Emancipation Proclamation was written by Lincoln. After he was assassinated, some states still allowed slavery.
Today President Trump is having his first rally since the Covid 19 virus. As usual in spite of warnings from WHO, and epidemiologists, he still has the need for adulation. He has been getting a lot of bad press because of the stupid things he does and says. Also a book has come out written by his former National Security Advisor, John Bolton. Of course he has tried to stop it. Another scathing book by his niece is also coming out. His base supporters don’t care what he does. There is supposed to be over 100,000 people congregated indoors who don’t have to wear masks. According to him there will be over a million people. He has threatened any protesters, anarchists, and rioters that they will be handled a lot more strongly than other cities have done.
It scares me that once he gets the adulation that he so desperately needs to hear, what other dangerous things will come out of his mouth. He feeds off of this.
