America's Symphony


Musical Selection:  Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov 

The reign of verbal terror from a mouthy and practically unemployable attorney is over.  Jasmine Crockett is schooled on the power of the vote.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is predictable in her primary loss to opponent James Talarico.  The Republicans cheated!   Zzzz  And in a district which has a forty percent black American demographic, and an overall eighty percent majority-minority ratio, she lost her pride of place to a fresh-faced Caucasian male. This man is certainly capable of causing more damage to Republican aspirations in Texas should he win the general election in November.  But there is such a tangible distaste for Ms. Crockett and her grandstanding,  that a cup of cheer is raised across the state.

The voters have spoken.

Musical Selection:  The Battle Hymn of the Republic by Julia Ward Howard

We await the run-off election between Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton.  One is an aging statesman.  The other a womanizing political shark.  In this "buckle" of the Bible Belt, we don't mind the shark, but the Baptists are more hesitant to vote for the skirt-chaser. But it is possible because our AG Paxton has been in lock-step with our Texas governor regarding shutting down the Muslim colonization project known as EPIC (East Plano Islamic Center) he might surge forward in the run-off.

The voters have spoken.  The will speak again.

Musical Selection:  Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig Van Beethoven

The story is moody, foreboding... and really, it is absolutely tragic.  Rep.  Tony Gonzales abandoned his marital vows to do a bit of digital stalking of a staffer who was probably quite naive regarding consequences related to sleeping with a powerful man.  (That is why I always quip, "Sleep with a janitor.  He will be grateful.)  With a world of regret, she spiraled into madness and set herself aflame - leaving behind a husband and a child.  The aforementioned Congressional asshole is in a run-off with Brandon Herrera - a rather handsome guns rights activist.  It should have been a foregone conclusion that the man with a broken zipper would meet his deserved fate.  But because each vote counts - Rep. Tony Gonzales faces a run-off.  

The "Sheeple" vote.  Unfortunately, sometimes we get the government we deserve.  But other times, we manage to get it right. This is the one that we need to get right, for the sake of a woman.  Brandon Herrera has a cool site and a very cool video.  A bit long, but showcasing America's best.

Our elections are peaceful and transition of power occurs in seamless manner.  Every election has a cadence on the local, state, and federal level.  But each cadence is accompanied by a composition made up of the notes on the page which represent the individual voter, and the chords which represent  groundswells of support.   The underlying mood can be frenetic, hopeful, or one filled with despair.  But when I go to the polls I do not see it so much as a Constitutional right.  It is so much more.  It is a beautiful symphony which is faithfully offered to each new generation of voters.  Do you hear the sound of freedom?  It is a symphony.  A powerful lyric.

America, America!  God Shed His Grace on Thee!

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
