The Election and Israel

[prisonchaplain]

I've decided how I will decide who to vote for in November. Most here know that, like many (perhaps a majority), I don't prefer Trump or Biden. The conflict with Israel has made this one decision more straightforward. I toyed with voting for Biden because Trump seemed isolationist to me. However, if Biden betrays Israel and moves to the pro-Hamas wing of his party, that's it. I'll be on the Trump Train.

It's fun to pretend that the individual Washington State voter makes a difference in the presidential election.

This post may mean more than my actual vote, but yes, we feel each other's pain.  I still remember 2000 when I was in FL and was so tempted to name my newborn child CHAD. He ended up being a she, and we're thankful. ;-)

Yes, but is she dimpled?

Seriously though, my cousin named one of his kids Reagan.

I felt the same way as a Texas voter.

I wish voting even made a difference.  But it doesn't.  So, I'm not voting in this election.

This may be first election in my lifetime in which I won't blame anyone--including those who don't vote.

I know it doesn't matter, but I will be voting anyways- writing in Peter Sonski of the American Solidarity Party. Just me and some Catholics.

So true. Regardless of who is in office the US still gets hit with solar eclipses.

And cicadas. It's like they're not even trying.

Maybe.  But we would never have had rainbow air if Trump had won.
