Post Thanksgiving 2016
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
Many people are breathing a sigh of relief that it is over.
The election in these US of A was over almost 3 weeks ago and a bunch of us were happy AND a bunch of us were pissed. Since then we have been having riots in many cities. Some would say that the ‘peaceful’ protesters aka rioters have a good reason to burn, smash, destroy and injure people, that this should be expanded. Others will say that the police need to crack down HARD on the rioters and the we NEED them to declare Marshal Law and round those thugs up…
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR!
Ask your friends and see how many of them know that the popular vote is NOT the final word, the Electoral College which actually elects the POTUS does not meet until December 19th until they report we do not actually know who the next President will be. It is kinda like waiting for the smoke when a new pope is selected. Basically the fat lady ain’t sung yet!
There are some who say that the rioting is being paid for to disrupt the nation and collapse the country. It sure does look like this could be true, but I do not know. Some are projecting that we are headed for another civil war in America, I do not know, but I hope not. I feel that things are going to get worse before it gets better. ; [
All I do know is that we all need to be ready to shelter in place to be able to ride this out regardless of who gets installed into the white house or who may or may not stay there.
Our reactions should remain peaceful BUT we do need to be ready to defend ourselves and our families. Stay aware of your surroundings and have a plan, discuss all this with your friends and family.
Pray for our country, our families and the people trying to protect our society [ Fire, EMS, police and military]
