Assessment Time

Chaos reigns in Washington DC. Entire Executive Branch departments are headed by appointees sworn to follow the Oval Office inhabitant, not the needs of the nation’s people. Rules are changed. Laws ignored. Protocols and relationships build over many decades, destroyed. Very few tenets are proclaimed to be the goals of the government’s mission under the named leader.

In short, what is normally up is now defined as down; what is in is now out. What is truth is now a lie and vice versa.

This modus operandi may work to unsettle the established order, but we are witnessing the established order thrown under the bus en masse. This is wrong. This is cockeyed. This is dangerous. For all of us.

What to do? It is time that leaders in the federal government – all three branches – huddle for common cause and determine a path forward. The US Constitution provides the answers. Entire law schools have lawyers and academics who understand the Constitution. They need to step forward and mentor the leaders in government. Together these people can thread their way back to bed rock governance.

The sitting ‘president’ is no longer in charge of himself, let alone the government of, for and by the people. It is now up to us and our elected representatives to do the right thing and preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States of America. That is their sworn duty to do.

It is time to stand and deliver on that oath.

The ‘president’ is out of control and does not recognize right from wrong. He is rudderless and unprincipled. It is time to declare him unfit for office and replace him with the emergency powers provided in the Constitution.

I am not the expert here. There are many experts with proper credentials to do this work. Let them do so. For all of our sakes.

And then, let’s get back to serving the common good of mankind and build peace as we ought.
