SHE THE PEOPLE. "TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD." SO, I'M NOT SICK OF THE BIG APPLE! NY MAYOR, BILL DEBLASIO AND ACTOR, ED HARRIS, ALONG WITH 30 OTHER PEOPLE, PERFORMED, THE PLAY BASED ON THE BOOK, IN FRONT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS, ELEMENTARY, JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL, FILLED TO THE BRIM OF MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ARENA, AND YOU COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROP AS THE KIDS GOT INTO THE DEEP SOUTH SAGA, WITH A MORE CONFLICTED, ATTORNEY, ATTICUS FINCH, PERFORMED IN CINEMA, BY ACTOR, GREGORY PECK, 1962. KIDS LEARN FROM "RELEVANT" INFORMATION THAT APPLIES TO THEM, TODAY. WHO WOULD THINK, THIS CLASSIC BOOK WOULD BE AS "RELEVANT" AS IT WAS WHEN WRITTEN, BACK, WHEN, IN 1960? HARRIS SAID, IN HIS RENDITION OF THE PERFECT ATTORNEY, HE TRIED TO SHOW, THAT, EVEN RACISTS CAN BE NICE PEOPLE, FOR THE MOST PART, SO EVOLVE. MAYOR DEBLASIO HAS AN INTER-RACIAL MARRIAGE, SO HE KNOWS THE HIDDEN RACISM WE STILL STRUGGLE WITH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE COLOR SPECTRUM. HOW IRONIC AND HOW TIMELY, THAT THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, VOTED, 400+ TO WHATEVER, TO PASS, THE "EMMETT TILL LAW," OR AN "ANTI-LYNCHING LAW?" WHAT THE FUCK? I WAS SHOCKED THAT, IT TOOK 200 ATTEMPTS TO MAKE, LYNCHING, A HATE CRIME? GOD? REP. BOBBY RUSH, KEPT ON THE BILL, FINALLY SEEING IT TO A SUCCESSFUL VOTE IN THE HOUSE, NOW ON THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT. EMMETT WAS A 14 YEAR OLD BLACK BOY, WHO WAS LYNCHED, IN NOT SO, LONG AGO HISTORY IN THE DEEP SOUTH--GEORGIA? SOMEONE ACCUSED OF LYNCHING, CAN NOW BE SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON. THIS IS SHOCKING TO ME. LYNCHING IS FUCKING, MURDER, SO? WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG TO PASS? ALWAYS AMAZED. SIDEBAR, AS STAFF ATTORNEY FOR THE UTAH PROSECUTION COUNSEL, CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT DIVISION, OF THE UTAH ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, I USED TO WRITE A NEWSLETTER, CALLED THE "UTAH PROSECUTOR" WHERE I WOULD DO A FEATURE ARTICLE ON ONE OF THE STATE OR COUNTY, PROSECUTORS. THE TWO MAIN MODELS, THAT INSPIRED, YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE ATTORNEYS, WERE, ATTICUS FINCH, AND, PERRY MASON! PERFECT. I WONDER HOW MANY ATTORNEYS, WERE INSPIRED BY THE BOOK, WORLDWIDE, TO VENTURE INTO THE WORLD OF LAW, MAYBE EVEN, CIVIL RIGHTS LAW? I BET TONS! WITH SEVERAL FORMER, MAYORS, IN THE 2020, PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, THERE IS A GREAT NEW BOOK, WRITTEN, BY, ANOTHER, MAYOR, OF CHICAGO, ROHM EMMANUEL FORMER, CHIEF OF STAFF, FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA, AS I RECALL, SERVED IN A CITY, NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART, CHI TOWN, "THE NATION'S CITIES: HOW MAYORS ARE RUNNING THE WORLD." THEY ARE TAKING ON EVERYTHING FROM, EDUCATION, TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, TO GUN CONTROL, GLOBAL WARMING OR CLIMATE CONTROL, COMMUNITY POLICING AND SANCTUARY CITIES, EVEN, FREE COLLEGE TUITION FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS! WHEN TRUMP DITCHED OUT ON THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT, JOINED BY 190 OUT OF 193 COUNTRIES, THE NATION'S MAYORS, GOT TOGETHER AND DECIDED, THAT THEY WOULD, STILL, TRY TO MEET THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CONTROL GOALS OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT. GREAT IDEAS, COME FROM THE GRASSROOTS, AND MAKE THEIR WAY UP TO THE FEDERAL LEVEL! AS WASHINGTON, D.C, IS LOCKED IN A PARTISAN WAR, AND, THE SENATE REFUSES TO EVEN BRING, THE 400 DEM CONTROLLED HOUSE BILLS TO COMMITTEE OR THE FLOOR FOR DEBATE, THE CITIES MAYORS, ARE MOVING FORWARD, IN CREATIVE, SMART, PROGRESSIVE WAYS! SMILE. IT IS A SLOTHFUL SERVANT THAT HAS TO BE COMMANDED IN ALL THINGS! VISIONARIES, DOING GREAT WORK! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! CORRECTION FROM YESTERDAY'S BLOG, I MENTIONED THAT, REP. JIM CLYBURN, WITH A DIFFERENT, FIRST NAME, A POWERFUL, BLACK LEADER, NOT ONLY IN SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT NATIONALLY, A RANKING MEMBER OF THE HOUSE, ENDORSED, FORMER, V.P. BIDEN. I WAS MULTI-TASKING AS WOMEN ARE KNOWN TO DO, LISTENING TO THE NEWS, WHILE WRITING MY BLOG! THE NEWS JUST SAID, REP. CLAYBURN, AND, I CAME UP WITH MY OWN, FIRST NAME, FOR SOME REASON, TRYING TO REMEMBER, THE SPELLING OF CLYBURN, AND SOMEHOW, CAME UP WITH, CLAYTON, AND I WAS NOT SURE AT THE TIME, HAVE ENJOYED YOUR THOUGHTS AND INSIGHTS, AND SCREWED UP YOUR FIRST NAME. LATER IN THE EVENING, I GOT TO SEE, THE ACTUAL, EMOTIONAL ENDORSEMENT, THE TENDERNESS OF YOUR SWEET WIFE, EMMA, 60 YEARS, YOUR SWEETHEART, AND HER LOVE OF JOE BIDEN, AND I WEPT LIKE A BABY, BUT, THE SECOND, I SAW, YOUR NAME, I KNEW IT! SORRY. GREAT MAN, RESTORES MY FAITH IN MARRIAGE AND MEN! KISSES. I NEEDED THAT. AS THE NEWS, MSNBC, SHOWED, SENATOR, ELIZABETH WARREN, DRAW DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN HERSELF AND SENATOR, BERNIE SANDERS, HAVING MANY PROGRESSIVE IDEAS IN MIND, SAID SHE WAS THE BETTER CANDIDATE, THAN, SANDERS, BECAUSE SHE GETS THINGS DONE. SO TRUE OF WOMEN. THE BAR FOR MEN, IS SO FUCKING LOW, CASE IN POINT, HILLARY VS. DONALD TRUMP! AND THE BAR IS DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH FOR WOMEN! BUT, THE TWO, MOM AND DAD, WARREN AND SANDERS, PARENTS OF A NEW GENERATION OF VOTERS, REMIND ME, OF MY MORMON UPBRINGING AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MAN TEACHING, A RELIGIOUS CLASS . . . THE MAN, WILL HAVE NOT READ THE LESSON, UNTIL HE GETS UP AND SITS ON THE EDGE OF THE TABLE, AND WINGS IT; THE WOMEN, HOWEVER, PREPARES, EXTENSIVELY, KNOWS THE LESSON, BY HEART, BUT MAY PUT SOME PROMPTS, BY WAY OF STRIPS THUMB-TACKED INTO THE CORK BOARD, BUT SHE WILL HAVE, A LACE TABLE CLOTH, COVERING THE WOODEN TABLE, A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS, SOME PICTURES ON SMALL EASELS, AND, IF WE ARE LUCKY, A SNACK OR COOKIE, TO GO WITH THE OBJECT LESSON! LOL. SENATOR, AMY KLOBUCHAR, WAS NAMED, LIKE, CONGRESSWOMAN, OF THE YEAR BY VANDERBILT AND I AM GUESSING, UNIVERSITY? BUT A BIG HONOR, CONSIDERING THERE ARE WHAT 465 HOUSE MEMBERS AND 100 SENATORS! SHE GOT IN THE SENATE, AT THE SAME TIME AS SANDERS, AND SHE HAS PASSED OVER 100 BILLS AND HIM, NONE? AND HE IS THE FRONT RUNNER? TRUTH MAKES REASON STARE . . . #LET'SKICKINEQUALITY! FOR GOD SAKE. FORBES MAGAZINE, ALONG WITH, MKSNBC, MORNING JOE, MIKA, "KNOW YOUR WORTH" ARE SPONSORING, A PROJECT CALLED, "50 OVER 50" . . . LOOKING AT WOMEN, OVER THE AGE OF 50, WHO, HAVE, BUILT UP IMPRESSIVE SUCCESS, LATER IN LIFE! I HAVE HAD TO RECREATE MYSELF, GOING ON THE 5TH TIME! I KNOW THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE, OLDER WOMEN, OFTEN, PUSHED ASIDE, ONCE THEIR BEAUTY FADES OR THEIR CHILD BARING YEARS ARE GONE . . . NOT SO FAST TO DISMISS! MOST MEN DON'T BECOME, SUCCESSFUL UNTIL AFTER 50 WHEN THEY STOP THINKING ABOUT SEX, 24/7! WOMEN START TO ROCK THE WORLD AT THAT AGE, TOO! WE JUST DON'T HEAR ABOUT THEM, SO, KUDOS, TO THIS PROJECT! WE ARE A FORCE TO DEAL WITH! A FORCE OF NATURE,NOT ONLY BECAUSE THE WOMEN WHO ROCKS THE CRADLE, RULES THE WORLD, BUT WE CAN RULE IN OUR OWN RIGHT! PERFECT. "THE DECADENT SOCIETY: WE WERE VICTIMS OF OUR OWN SUCCESS." --ROSS DOUTH. FROM MY AWARD WINNING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MANUAL, ACTUALLY, THE GRANT AND AWARD, CAME FROM THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT, AWARDED UNDER, PRESIDENT CLINTON'S TERM OF OFFICE, BUT, I LEARNED, YESTERDAY, THAT, SENATOR, JOE BIDEN, ACTUALLY WROTE THAT LAW! SO COOL, BUT TO WRITING THE PLAN FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA, ON AFGHANISTAN, SOMEONE HAS STOLEN, CREDIT FOR MY WORK! VICTIM OF MY OWN SUCCESS! ALL KINDS OF FELONIES, THE THIEVES SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH! ANYONE WANT TO DO YOUR FUCKING JOB? STOLEN VALOR AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS! A FAMILY AFFAIR. TOO GOOD. ACCESS. ACCESS. ACCESS. I COULD HAVE DONE THAT . . . BUT, YOU DIDN'T, I DID! THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO POWER TO BAN ME FROM MY LIFE, STORY, AND MONEY! "LET'S KICK INEQUALITY!" THERE SHOULD BE NO, DOUBLE STANDARDS, BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN, AND WOMEN, MEN ARE FUCKING AND THOSE THAT KICK THEIR ASSES! WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS, AMERICA! I DON'T NEED A ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, NO BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION, GENDER IDENTITY, BECAUSE, I CAN BEAT EVERY MAN IN SIGHT! COME CLEAN.

FEDERAL COPS, DON'T GET TO BE THE BRIDE AT EVERY WEDDING AND THE CORPS AT EVERY FUNERAL!

EYES ROLL.

AFTER, YESTERDAY'S, NEWS CONFERENCE, AT THE WHITE HOUSE, IN HE PRESS ROOM, THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A YEAR, SINCE, SARAH HUCKABEE-SANDERS, LEFT, PRESIDENT TRUMP, BLAMED THE DOW AND STOCK MARKET FALL, ON THE FACT THAT INVESTORS, SEEING THE FIELD OF DEMS, AND THEIR DEBATE, ON THE MASSIVE DROP, IN THE TWO DAYS, PRIOR TO THE DEBATE?  MSNBC, CHRIS MATTHEWS, HARDBALL, ALWAYS AMAZES, AT HIS, INNOCENCE, AND, AWE, THAT, PEOPLE, CAN HEAR THIS SHIT FROM TRUMP, BLAMING THE DEMS, FOR EVERYTHING FROM THE DOW TO HIM CUTTING THE BUDGET AT THE CDC, THE EXPERTS, DEALING WITH THE CORONAVIRUS OR CODIV-19, ON THE DEMOCRATIC DEBATE?

THE VIRUS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A MONTH OR MORE, HIS BUDGET, A FEW WEEKS, FIRING OR GETTING RID OF THE PANDEMIC LEADERSHIP TEAM IN VARIOUS, AGENCIES, AND DEPARTMENTS THAT DEAL WITH, EMERGENCIES AND THIS TYPE OF ISSSUE . . . WITH, INVESTORS, SEEING TH WORLD'S SECOND LARGEST MARKET, CHINA, BEING TAKEN DOWN BY THE BAT VIRUS, THEY, REACT TO THE THREAT OF MARKET LOSSES!

BUT, THE POINT I AM TRYING TO MAKE IS, THAT, CHRIS, ASKED, FORMER, REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST, STEVE SCHMIDT, HOW TRUMP'S BASE, CAN LISTEN TO THIS STUFF, AND BELIEVE IT?

A VERY, SARCASTIC SCHMIDT, LOL, SAID, IT IS LIKE, SOMEONE PLANTED, A CHIP, IN THE BRAIN OF THE TRUMP BASE AND LOYALIST, AND WHEN, TRUMP TALKS, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT GOES OUT, FROM FOX NEWS, TRUMP TV, AND, TRUMP TALKING POINTS, ARE ACTIVATED IN THEIR BRAINS AND THEY, KNOW NOTHING ELSE!

FUCKING HILLARIOUS!

LOL.

PERFECT.

P.S., THERE ARE NO REPORTED CASES OF CORONAVIRUS, IN KIDS!

OH, I ALMOST FORGOT, YESTERDAY, WAS THE FIRST DAY OF LENT . . . POPE FRANCIS, CHALLENGED, EVERYONE TO GIVE UP SOME OF THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA, GIVE UP BEING MEAN, ONLINE, AND, TRY TO GO 40 DAYS, GIVING UP SOMETHING.

PERFECT.

JUST ONE MORE THING . . . DURING THE CRAZY ASS DEBATE, THE DEMS HAD THE OTHER NIGHT, AMY AND JOE, GOT INTO A DEBATE, OVER WHO WROTE A PARTICULAR BILL . . . SOPHISITICATED THINKING, BOTH!

BIDEN WROTE THE ORIGINAL BILL, AND KLOBUCHAR, WROTE THE AMENDMENT TO HIS BILL!

PERFECT.

BOTH MOVERS AND SHAKERS!

70 FORMER, U.S. LEGISLATORS, CONTACTED, CONGRESS, AND, THEY ARE TELLING, CONGRESS TO DO THEIR JOB, THE BUSINESS OF THE NATION,TO STOP FIGHTING AND SQUARING OFF, AGAINST EACH OTHER, WITH NO FAIR GROUND BETWEEN THE TWO PARTISAN CAMPS!

THEY WENT ON TO SAY, IT WAS NOT THAT LONG AGO, MAYBE 10 YEARS, WHEN, THE TWO SIDES, FOUND, HIGHER GROUND, AND WORKED TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION!

WE THE PEOPLE!
WE THE NATION!
