IN TWO DAYS . . . IT WILL BE AMERICA’S TWO HUNDRED & FIFTIETH:
First & Foremost . . . America’s Greatness Is The People – The Rest Follows Suit.
In The Future . . . If I am Going to Remember just One Exceptional thing About President Donald J Trump . . . It Will Be Trump’s Determination To Keep America Free As A Meritocracy.
Even though Trump is the Most Active & Aggressive President I am Aware of . . . And even though there is Much About Trump that Rankles Me More than Just Somewhat, Trump’s Love For American Freedom Seems To Be Without Bounds.
Trump Is Not The Reason . . . But To A Great Extent – He is The Catalyst.
As I’ve Written & Said More Times Than I Can Remember . . . It is the Words of President Reagan that Resonates Most Strongly in My Mind, when Reagan was the Governor of California – Reagan Said In A Speech On January 5, 1967 . . .
“Freedom Is A Fragile Thing. And It’s Never More Than One Generation Away From Extinction”.
I WORRY . . . THAT LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE – HISTORY REPEATS:
To Many Conservative Pundits . . . The Wild Swing to the American LEFT, is Nothing More than an Aberration Within Already LEFT Leaning Cities & States. But to Me, the Hard Swing LEFT in America is a Serious Harbinger of Socio/Political Things to Come. And Not Just In Blue States & Amongst Blue Cities.
THE FRENCH ARISTOCRACY DID NOT SEE-IT COMING EITHER:
When Marie Antoinette Purportedly Said . . . “Let Them Eat Cake” . . . It Rallied the Highly Educated Youth from the French Aristocracy, who Drove the People to Revolution (1789 – 1799), which Turned-On the Privileged Class – Starting The Reign Of Terror (1793 – 1794).
Don’t Say It Can’t Happen Here . . . Because It Can Happen Anywhere.
A Great Economy is Only Great for those who Have Money . . . But Not So Great For The People Who Struggle To Get By . . . And Not so Great for the Young Educated Idealists who Come from Money, who Have Been Inculcated by their Teachers & Professors from an Early Age to the Age of Post University . . . To Feel Guilt Over The Successes Of Their Parents.
I HAVE NO OPINION ON TAYLOR SWIFT OTHER THAN THE FOLLOWING:
It Is One Thing To Watch The Mega Million Dollar Wedding Of Taylor Swift, as the Streets of New York City will be Shut-Down, as Swift and her Legions of Wealthy Sycophants Take-Over Madison Square Gardens for a Wedding Fit for Royalty . . . But Another Thing Entirely – For The Common People . . . Who Worry About Putting Food On The Table.
PERCEPTION IS OFTEN GREATER THAN REALITY:
I’m Not Picking On Taylor Swift . . . She Earned her Billon or Billions of Dollars, and is Free to Spend her Money as she Legally sees Fit . . . But in a Nation that Celebrates the Exuberance of Wealth, Excess, Prestige & Power Seemingly Above all Else . . . Where Does that Leave the Masses who Have No Wealth, No Prestige & No Power, Who Worry About Food, Lodging & Affordable Health-Care . . . From The Time They Wake-Up In The Morning – To The Time They Go To Sleep At Night?
For The Working Middle Class . . . There is Always the American Dream & Hope for a Better Tomorrow, but for the Working Poor, Many Can Only Hope For Tomorrow – To Look No Worse Than It Does Today, because for a Massive Amount of People . . . The American Dream Is Just That . . . An Out-Of Reach Dream, who are One Lost Job or Sickness Away, that will Lead to their Personal Catastrophe.
MY PARENTS WERE CAPITALISTS . . . I’M A CAPITALIST – THAT IS NOT ENOUGH:
I Would Hate To Live In A Communist Country . . . But I Also Don’t Want to Live in a Country where the Masses Live Without Hope and are One Day Away from Financial Disaster.
THE MEANING WAS SIMPLE:
I Remember At My Earliest Age . . . My Mother Would Say To Me In Yiddish (To Make A Point), Even though my Mother & Father were Canadian Born, and English was their Primary Language . . . “Don’t Burn The Eyes Of Those Who Have Less”.
THE MOOD OF THE NATION IS NOT AN ABERRATION . . .
I Want America To Have A Magnificent Future – But, if the Real Needs of the People are Not Met, Or Are Erroneously & Propagandized Deemed Not To Be Met . . . The Future for America Could be as Bleak as Many Other Great Empires that Fell Because of the Avarice of a Few . . . In Comparison To The Many.
“IF YOU CAN KEEP IT?”
September 17, 1783 At The Constitution Convention – Benjamin Franklin Said About America When Asked if America is a Republic or a Monarchy . . . In Response Franklin Said . . . “A Republic If You Can Keep It?”
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE . . . BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KEEP-IT:
Make No Mistake About It – The LEFT Is On The March & They Have A Story To Tell.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Taylor who?
I have been following you for sometime now and value your opinions. BUT! I suggest you have been soaking up the leftist class struggle a bit much. Yes we have poor that are struggling. But that is in relation to our society. When you have food, shelter, a car, and appliances you are not struggling on a world poor level. And you hit the revolution problem almost. If you look at history, virtually all revolutions emerged from the middle classes and almost all made things worse not better.
It’s the same battle America has been fighting since about 1900–Communism/Socialism has been infiltrating our education system and culture for at least a century! They sound so good on paper, and stink so bad in practice–Trust history on this!–Neither actually works for more than a decade before degrading into chaos!
