The Dwight D. Opperman Foundation announced that Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Martha Stewart, Michael Milken and Sylvester Stallone would be the 2024 recipients of the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award which, until now, was called the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Woman of Leadership Award and dedicated to women of distinction.
I think everyone on that current list is a billionaire except Stallone and he has a bunch of daughters so we understand why he is less wealthy.
How can we take a national treasure and her lifetime achievements and turn it into a carnival act. Do you think Musk needs a bigger award than the US Space business or a pat on the back for recycling launch cylinders.
Stealing RGB's legacy in broad daylight is impressive.
I can imagine in my mind, her eyes lit up as she heard the people going to bear her moniker. It's extremely funny and sad in the same breath.
Maybe we should go erase George Washington's ponytail in protest.
Why can't we be proud of our over achievers and let their shadow fall where they traveled.

I'm not going to be cocky and tell you who to vote for or to even vote.
I am going to tell you to THINK.
That's what makes America Great, the power of our collective thoughts.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

A true American original.
RIP.

They have in their complete control, the ability to changes lives forever.
That is a power few can imagine, much less boast about, but these 4 men can. If they could somehow overcome their weakness and BECOME human for just a day, they would see the tragedy set in motion by their direct actions. A tidal wave of sorrow and poverty for generations to come.
The ripples of hatred blazing across the planet is bringing suffering to unimaginable levels. We are creating our own plague.
The powerful 4 must always be wondering if karma in the future would hate their children enough to harm them as some sort of spiritual payback.

I was glad to see Israel sold $8B in(war) bonds to pay for their own war in Gaza. At least Congress got one thing right. We should never tax our citizens to pay for a total annihilation of a group of people. Make them pay for their own bombs and bullets. We have enough blood on our hands from the Native American decimation in our own country to be part of something so ruthless again. I understand the rock and the hard place. Which came first the chicken or the egg and why did the chicken cross the road. Gaza and Ukraine has raised a new level of real concern if humanity can survive our self induced plague.

I'm not going to be cocky and tell you who to vote for or to even vote.
I am going to tell you to THINK.
As I've said in the past. Bombing Children Is Wrong.

This is a blunt reminder what US citizens are seeing over and over. Wesley Snipes got jail time for tax dodging and our highest judicial court wants us to believe the law experts did not know a Hundred Thousand Dollar gift is taxable. You win a vacation on Let's Make A Deal and Uncle Sam wants his cut. It is a difficult sell to people under 40 that the system is not fixed, like a crooked roulette wheel with the USA brand stamped all over it. Gives made in America a whole new meaning.
With the advent of the internet it gets optically impossible to deliver bull shit to the younger Americans who have seen it all, both fake and real. Starting with the public flogging of Bill Clinton that Congress affirmed a blow job was not sex. Over and over we are teaching the leaders of tomorrow that cutting corners and lying is just a means to the end. The sad reality is that you can run a public illusion and get elected to congress. Humans in America have been tarred, feathered and run out of town for far less.
Raising your hand on a stack of bibles does not mean anything anymore after the thousands of priest caught molesting children. Nothing is sacred for sure.

I think a roman once said 'ultimate power creates ultimate corruption". How many get out of jail free cards are out there and how do you get one? How many times can someone plead ignorance and be the top scholar on US Law.
Stop wondering why the youth of our country have little or no respect for "The Law" because we rub their face in the injustice of the system. Then we ask "Would you like to supersize that?"
The most amazing part of this experiment called America is that somebody loaned us 33 Trillion dollars. Who would loan that much money to a dysfunctional group like us. That translates into $99,000.00 per every citizen, man woman and child.

Unless we can find leaders that are for real and really fast we may end up like the Romans or worse when our youth thinks the Court, Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus are from the same book.

There is no pulling a rabbit out of the hat to save us this time.

In case anyone did not get the memo from Mother Earth recently, let me do the math for you. Hotter ground temperatures result in more moisture taken into the air and we all know what goes up must come down. In our current world, unfortunately, it comes back as a Rain Bomb. We can spend the next ten years debating Climate ( NOTE: first film to sound the alarm was in 1982 - see it here for free) but in the meantime what are we going to do about rising sea levels and destructive weather patterns. This is going to be like musical chairs except the seat is for safe housing and sustainable lifestyles. Not everyone is going to be happy with the outcome to say the least. We are all vulnerable to tornadoes, extreme heat and flooding. Supply chain disruptions and a host of other realities are just the tip of this self created problem, what are we waiting for?

Go Think

With our country so divided, who is going to lead the effort to put the United back into United States?
Is it even possible?
We can't even get a handle on our carbon footprint, plastic pollution and the slow disappearance of drinkable water much less being civil to one another.

Billionaires taking joy rides to outer space and millionaires travel the globe on their private flying palaces. The line in the sand moves often, depending on how much money you have or can even be totally erased if you have the Presidential Magic Wand.
This "I want to save the planet" but we have to do it Tuesday because I'm taking my jet to Maui for the weekend" attitude is not going to get the job done. There is no Planet B we can go to until "they" get it fixed. We are the last line of defense.
RaiseAVoiceHearItEcho.com is a anthem to raise up our collective voices and be heard. Join your voice to ours.
