Rep.  Eric Swalwell: The Usual Rules Need not Apply


Committing adultery with a Chinese spy did not provide Eric Swalwell with cause to reflect nor choose a course correction.

My father taught me that our first sin, is always against God.  And then we sin against our fellow man.

The Ten Commandments provide a safety net for society.  The "Thou shalt nots"  have validity. It brings societal health when we honor our parents... do not lie... do not commit theft. And it allows for family health when a man does not poach another man's wife; nor a woman poach another woman's husband.

The Ten Commandments are a reminder that we have boundaries within civilized society. Boundaries require respect for the other. But boundaries also require self-respect. And a powerful man who rapes and humiliates a drunk staffer cannot look in the mirror and respect himself.  Unless, of course, he is a sociopath.

"She deserved it. She was inebriated."  

Since when, would any consider the punishment for inebriation to be rape?  My sixth grade son once ate a whole, large Texas watermelon while I was at work.  Should he have suffered rape for food intoxication? He was not punished at all; in spite of the fact that I had spent all day at work thinking about having a slice of cold watermelon on arrival home.  What about chain smokers.  Is the punishment rape?   Or is it simply that rape is the punishment which faces women who working in close proximity to powerful politicians inside the Beltway?  Not to be obtuse - there a male staffers who have probably also suffered sexual assault.

Rape is a crime of control, power, and humiliation.  Eric Swalwell is a predator;  and predators are generally cowards who seek out opportunities against the weak.  Such men - must be dealt with swiftly for the safety of greater society.

Isn't it time that as Americans we return to a healthy concept of boundaries, and... discreet cough... an understanding that what displeases God is wrapped up in a very small word?   Sin.

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".

Less than a month ago he tra...

"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...
