Behind me, you will see displayed images of Democrat hypocrisy playing on loop. . . make clear Democrats’ mindset: rules for thee but not for me. . . The President stands with you, your freedom, your ability to decide how to best protect your health. We all know how to protect ourselves from COVID-19: wash your hands, socially distance, wear a mask. . ."

A determined autocrat in the White House poses a grave threat to our democratic institutions and can severely undermine faith in our elections, particularly when backed by partisans in Congress. . . Perhaps only when the stars are optimally aligned — when voters turn out in huge numbers, when the outcome is not close, when state and local officials and the courts adhere to the rule of law, when foreign interference is thwarted, when the media behaves responsibly and when people remain peaceful — can our democracy endure its greatest tests. . . If the Senate flips to Democratic control, Congress will be able to apply the lessons of our democracy’s near-death experience. . .It would enact the For the People Act to combat corruption, strengthen ethics rules and improve voter access as well as the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore the protections of the 1965 legislation. Congress would pass the Protecting Our Democracy Act to constrain the power of future presidents who deem themselves above the law and finally adopt long-stalled legislation to shore up our election infrastructure against adversaries, foreign or domestic. . ."
". . . The news that Bob Dylan, and before him Stevie Nicks, has sold his publishing to his song catalog, has prompted a deluge of conversation on Twitter. . . And thus comes the news from David Crosby, veteran rock star of Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Byrds, that he’s selling his rights, too. . . He wrote: “I am selling mine also …I can’t work …and streaming stole my record money …I have a family and a mortgage and I have to take care of them so it’s my only option ..I’m sure the others feel the same” . . . Crosby, who is always outspoken, says in other tweets on the subject that he’s the same age as Dylan, which is 79, and needs money. . ."
Looking for some opportunity. In his land there's almost none. He's only one of many millions. No one told him streets were paved with gold Like they used to in the days of old. But he heard from some who knew Of all the things to do, He could accomplish
Searching for glorious freedom Here in America. He can be anything He wants to be. With his wealth accumulating, And he's got every liberty, Deep in his heart he knows he Never will be free.
Ravi took a wife they had a child A year or two before they came stateside. And he had such big brown eyes, Too young to realize what he was seeing. On the surface one would never guess That this family wasn't quite as blessed As you might believe they were. He isn't sure of her Or where they're heading.
Someone from oh so long ago still remains Firmly embedded in his soul. She wasn't of the same persuasion as he. His friends and family convinced him That it couldn't be. Broken hearts take time. Broken hearts take time to heal.
When he finally felt the strength he'd need To live the kind of life he'd like to lead. As the heartache dulled with time, Made up his mind, Back when he married. Realizing that he'd never find The true companion that he had in mind, Like the one he almost had. He placed a wanted ad In the local paper.
