This week becomes the final week leading up to the 2018 Mid-Term Election on November 6, which many have stated is “the most important in my lifetime.” Well, maybe not in mine, as the last presidential election was one of the most, if not the most, critical elections in my nine-decade memory.

That includes those in 1940 and 1944 when PRESFDR-32 was candidate for a third term. This was in repudiation of the tradition started by PRESGW-1. As his second term was running down, George Washington declined strong efforts to be made president for life.

The national media has continued building a crescendo of claims of a “Blue Wave” in hopes of swaying enough uninformed voters into making a major change in Congress come to pass. If successful, the result would be an undoing of all the beneficial changes that have occurred in the time since PRESDT-45 took office. The successes brought about by his dedication and determination are far too numerous to enumerate in the space allowed here. One of the ones not mentioned in any media (except one radio report, seen or heard by me), is the passage of a budget for the first time in years by Congress. Hopefully that will preclude any “government shutdown” or continuing resolutions being needed.

The disgusting display of lying, nasty accusations, and other undignified words and actions – principally on the part of paid disrupters and Senate members with a “D” on their voter registrations – that were clearly on video display during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings and vote is not expected to decline in the future. It seems to now be firmly established in their DNA, to the detriment of the dignity and civility of Congress in both Houses. In my mind, they seem to act more like C/F/S (communist, fascist, socialist) officials in foreign nations under  that type of government, or where a movement is under way to bring such about.

And, of course, it appears they are strongly supported by mistaken left-leaning media personnel and management. There is a continuous barrage of attack opinions and “news” presented with opinion coming out of speakers on the TV and some radio stations. (Not having cable in my house, the Fox News Channel is not seen by me, except occasionally when visiting in the homes of friends and acquaintances.)

Meanwhile, in the traditional service of Kirk of the Hills (EPC) Presbyterian Church on October 14, there was great rejoicing and praise for PRESDT-45 and God for the (finally) release of The Rev. Andrew Brunson, a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church denomination, from prison where he had been arbitrarily and falsely accused, and convicted, of actions against the government of Turkey (now in control of the followers of Islam). At least there has been some coverage of this story in the national media. His plight had been pretty much ignored by PRESBO-44, but then he has often stated that Obama is really a Muslim and so stated to the rulers in Saudi Arabia when on a visit there.

While those in the Democrat Party and media prognosticators loudly proclaim they expect a Blue Wave next month, my opinion is that they may have pressed their case too loud and long to the exhaustion of the voters, even some long-time supporters. It will just depend on how irritated we who have more common sense have become to the point of voting in major numbers. My absentee ballot is already marked and was in the mail mid-October, as has been my practice for decades. This was originally because of the demands of my professional activities in the oil exploration field.

Former Democrat Congressman the Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, who was banned from taking his seat in Congress, said, “Keep the faith, baby.”

All is not lost until the “honest” votes are counted.
