I was a month away from turning 20 sitting in my first wife’s grandparents tiny apartment in Margate, New Jersey watching the moon landing play out while enduring the awful moment when our evil President Richard Nixon intruded on the historic time to ensure the world would not fail to give him
credit.
In those days, we experienced history on TV every day. Vietnam. Race riots. Moon landings.
Closing out the 60s, that glorious day gave me a rare sense of pride in America!
Fifty one years ago today lives on in my memories if nowhere else. Armstrong, Aldren and Collins, American heroes all!
We were all proud of the space program yet horrified by wars and riots.
Today, violence and immoral government actions have become first tolerated then required to enforce illegal policies. Portland citizens are facing arrest and detention by military troops with no insignia or any other identification hauling them away in unmarked minivans.
These actions are unquestionably vile and outside our standard for civilized life.
Why are we being forced to confront such outrages?
Undoubtedly part of that answer lies at the feet of our most recent evil President Donald Trump.
Joe Biden’s America will not be like this. The President will not lie to us. He will not separate kids from families. Joe just wants to do it right.
My God, ya just gotta vote for Joe Biden!
