It’s hard watching the Ukrainians right now – dads, moms, single people, grandmothers, papas, as they fight for their country, their lives, fight for everything. I don’t think Americans can even conceive of an inkling of a thought of just how that would feel – pack 1 bag and walk away from every single thing you’ve worked for. Yes, we all say it’s just stuff, they’re just things. But that stuff, those things – pictures, dishes with LT’s handprint on it, my parent’s clock that doesn’t work – make up your home.
But it’s the kids! God bless them. I’ve seen them playing, throwing stuffed animals, kicking a soccer ball, playing tag. Laughing. Then the other scenes. The little boy crying as his daddy is saying goodbye, hitting his daddy’s head because he can’t imagine his life without his daddy. The sweet baby girl in a pink knit cap kissing her papa over and over on his lips as she held his cheeks not realizing he was going to walk back into a war, and it just might be her last memory of him. The images of babies that have been shot – sure they blurred their faces, but I knew each one was a baby. Other children in a hospital with IV bags next to them. Can we see our babies’ faces in them? We need to because if we don’t we are no better than Putin and his commanders and troops who have slaughtered Ukraine.
Here’s the problem. Americans think an invasion only looks like what Putin is doing in Ukraine. That IS a horrible invasion that does warrant a world response. But America is experiencing a covert invasion and Joe Biden and his administration is the face of it. However it’s been creeping into every day life for decades and we have been tolerating and ignoring it till now. When leaders say out loud that parents do NOT have the right to have a say in their kid’s education – that’s a huge problem. When social media platforms have a say in what the public is allowed to know about a presidential candidate – that’s a huge problem. When we have unelected officials in government shut down our economy AFTER they were inadvertently responsible for the cause of the epidemic – that’s a huge problem. When elected officials create a chasm between law enforcement and citizens through district attorneys NOT enforcing laws bought by 1 anti-American billionaire hell bent on bringing down our Constitution and Bill of Rights – that’s a huge problem.
We can’t idly sit by and threaten like joe did the 3 months before Putin invaded Ukraine. Who are your elected representatives? Call them. Tell them what you want. Their job is to represent YOU – not go to DC and make lots of money. Make them do their job! Contact the president. Tell him what you want. Make your voice heard. If we don’t stop the “bidenvasion” of the radical left green new deal AOC’s in DC – what we’re living now we be the best we have it for our future and it will never be anything worth passing to our grandkids. Own your America!
