I have received my ballot for the Republican sponsored Recall Election. The Republicans can’t seem to win an election straight-up, so they suppress our vote or pull some other trick to try and win. I say, “NO to the recall.’ I think Gavin Newsom is doing a good job. He’s got the experience and seems to know what he is doing. When I opened the ballot, I was reminded of the old Nursery Rhyme that says, in effect, “Rub A Dub Dub, three men in a tub.” It goes on with, “a butcher, a baker, a candle stick maker, all going to the fair.” In my version, I say, “Rub A Dub Dub, forty boys and girls all crowded in a Hot Tub, a butcher, a baker, a candle stick maker, an, athlete, a mouthpiece, a retailer, a wholesaler, an animal trainer, and an assortment of other gamblers, all wanting to be the California Governor.” I can’t believe we have this many people, without any governmental experience wanting to be our leader. Some of the Wannabes sidled up to their apparent master (Trump) like a Taliban to a Terrorist. It seems that Trump and the Republicans don’t expect to win so their stunt is to siphon off enough votes from Governor Newsom to keep him from winning on the first ballot. On their way to the Governor Recall, the crowd is confused by one guy who has never even been a dog catcher, and he’s talks bad about black folks and about the current guy in the job, and thinks that’s enough. After all, it was good enough for his beloved master. This guy seems like he’s saying, “Vote for me, and I’ll set you free.” He is neither Doctor, Lawyer, nor Indian Chief, but he thinks that he can fix all and make all things better than Governor Newsom. He wishes! He says he will take the masks off all the students because that’s what his master and his followers want to hear. He will open all schools to the school of your choice, as long as there are not the wrong people in them. Not the brown people, not the black people, just the right people. We all know who the right people are. You know the old saying, “If they’re white, they’re alright, if they’re brown, they can stick around, if they’re black, get back.” My message to the black guy running, I say, “Take pride in your blackness, for whether you believe it or not, your blackness is a sign of nobility. To ridicule or despise it is blasphemy against your own soul. Hopefully, it’s not too late for you. The winner of the upcoming Governor Recall race should be Gavin Newsom. Vote No to the recall. We used to love experience. We called it merit. Then Obama won and the rules changed. Newsom has proven ability and should continue in his seat. One candidate said, “Doing the same thing over and over is tantamount to insanity. I wonder if he ever heard of President Franklin D. Roosevelt who ran and won over and over? Like Roosevelt, Gavin Newsom knows the job and has experience doing the job. The guys and girls seeking the job just want the experience, at the expense of the sitting Governor. On-the-job training is too expensive a chore for California. VOTE NO. |
