still
It is a bit unnerving getting mail from the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security...
Despite that it is regarding something that is not a negative thing.
Yes, I am still going to make a defense of James Comey, despite the recent statements by the FBI regarding their investigation into Comey's actions and decisions. In fact, nothing they said has changed my view at all; if anything, my view has been reinforced.
-- The past couple of weeks have been chaotic, making it impossible to do any writing. (Just to be clear, some of that chaos was welcomed.) Hopefully I can get some done in spite of my current situation for the next several days: caring for my grandmother because she has fairly advanced Alzheimer's. You have no idea how challenging it is caring for someone with Alzheimer's until you are doing it everyday for at least a month or two; because only then do you experience how much it consumes your day to day life. I did it pretty much everyday for about ten months straight. Not by myself, no, because you cannot do it by yourself when the person reaches these more advanced stages and can never be left alone. --
I don't know if Trump has any clue whatsoever about what he is doing with North Korea, but let me just say this:
While it is true that he failed to make a "deal" of any kind with Kim Jong-un, failed to get any real promises out of Kim, failed to get anything out of it at all while giving Kim more than Kim could have ever expected to get from a U.S. president, the humanitarian crisis that is North Korea should take precedence over the politics of interacting with a dictator and his regime who do not deserve legitimacy from political recognition of him as a national leader like any other. Obviously, no one wants to give Kim what he wants; however, can we really continue telling ourselves that we stand on higher moral ground if we continue to knowingly turn our backs on all of the citizens of North Korea, who are the victims of such appalling human rights' violations, just because not turning our backs on them would require us to find some way to work with a brutal dictator(ship)? When is enough, enough?
