Dear Grandson, I just sent you the newsletter. This morning I thought I should include a personal note. The reality of the last 3 days seeps through the cracks in our consciousness with each hour. The newsletter clarifies the known facts as well as possible. Today, it frightened me. And that made me think of you, your sisters, your parents and your friends. I thought of how you must be puzzled by such events at the hands of adults.

I believe in Joseph Biden. I believe in his humanness. I believe in the people he is assembling to help govern the country. I believe in the humanity of the vast, vast majority of Americans.

Lots of troubles exist in America, some since conception. Now Covid, Climate change, and the aftermath of djt . But of all the countries on earth, we are the best equipped to solve our problems and to help the rest of this world to fix what we all face.

So keep the faith. Work hard, play hard, and sleep hard. Be both kind and brave. Don’t hate.

Don’t put up with hate. Dream your dreams and put them into action. It’s going to be ok.

Love from GP

I was here for the Kennedy assassination, Nixon resignation, Reagan attempted assassination (which only angered me that Brady was collateral), but this attempted coup as a finale to a wannabe dictators horrid rule is the most disturbing political event of my life.

And now it is coming out that those sinister things we suspected of this “regime” are true. It was a real coup attempt, run by naive idiots who could not sustain it but now we are finding how high in the government was involvement. The police are suspect, the military is suspect and elected legislators along with oligarchs behind the scene are known accomplices. Conspiracy theories of a right-wing takeover of the U.S. took a turn toward reality this week.

And the madman in the Oval Office is still there. Ppl involved are getting arrested but being charged with misdemeanor “breaking & entering” or “unlawful trespassing.” We need to see real felony charges of INSURRECTION, SEDITION, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT/’BATTERY & FELONY MURDER where the perps sit behind bars until arraigned and then held without bond.
