Profiling Courage

The Freshmen Class of Democrats, who brought new blood to a stale party, have some real firecrackers in their midst. As refreshing as it is to see them and hear how they’ve scared the Old Guard silly, there’s more at stake here than the present day. These freshmen are looking at decades in Congress (just like the current Speaker of the House).

Let me savor that for a moment. (Ahh!) All those clear young minds pitted against two senile old men. There IS hope for America if we can #HoldTheLine.

I’m big fan of The Squad: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). Though I’m much older than they are, I find their energy, drive, and media savvy (plus that dash of blood-lust) utterly refreshing.

I also have respect for Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, as well as the rest of embattled Democrats in Congress and the Senate.

We live in perilous times, there’s a raging Bull in the White House and an Evil Turtle running the Senate. The bright spot is the gavel of the House of Representatives sitting in Democratic hands.

And, of course, The Old Bull has made the four young women known as The Squad his target. After all, what better, more fitting, target than young women and dead men?

Oh, oh, I know, single out the naturalized immigrant!

A true test of wit and courage, that choice of target, for a senile old man; I hope his epitaph will read: “He beat up small women and dead heroes.”

It’s not like The Old Bull can actually DO anything constructive. He’s failed at everything he’s put a hoof to: replacing health care with some ‘great’ program that everyone loves, getting ‘manufacturing jobs back’ to the Rust Belt, balancing the Deficit, infrastructure, including the vanity wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for. He’s great at playing patsy with Communists and other dictators, I’ll give him that.

So he thrashes around the White House, spewing B.S. from both ends, attacking young women, locking the poor and their children in cages to impress – whomever it is that holds the ring in his nose.

Such courage!

Speaking of courage, please note the vast outrage expressed by the GOP, the Party of Morality and Fiscal Responsibility…er…not peep out of them.

The Evil Turtle stuttered his condemnation of – wait for it – Democrats – a feeble attempt to appear less senile than he is. He didn’t even know who the racist was.

Poor old man, someone find him a nurse, he didn’t get his green Jello at lunch and he’s cranky.

Hasn’t Kentucky had enough of this wizen creature? Can’t we move on, perhaps to someone who has proven their courage?

How about a Marine Corp fighter pilot? https://amymcgrath.com/

She could win on just her tag-lines:

ANTI-CORRUPTION.
ANTI-OBSTRUCTION.
ANTI-B.S.

Come on, Kentucky, it’s time to #DitchMitch and make America sane again.

Jordan's Croft Is Back

Yes, I'm back with more commentary from my tiny farm in Kentucky.

After a couple of years of radio silence, I've revived this blog, even without my URL, because there are somethings I can't stay silent about, and Twitter just doesn't cut it for me.

I'm watching The Old Bull and his Evil Turtle, now that we are on the cusp of the 2020 election, I'm digging in my heels. This might cost me readers on my favorite international writer's platform. I certainly hope not, because they've been good to me. I'll apologize to them in advance.

This also means I'm going to need to deal with the Trolls who hit this blog on a regular basis and stole clips of my work to post on Facebook.

Regardless, I'm not going to allow the Old Bull spread his manure unchallenged from #FlyOverAmerica. It's time to get out the pen and use it like a sword.
