Good News - Democracy Is Alive And Well In The United States Of America - The Bluing Of America On November 3rd 2026

 Sunday November 8th  2026

My Dear America:

Welcome Back To Democracy America. 

It has been awhile since we have been able to say that and really mean it.  We have been through a very bad time and unfortunately we are still not through with the bad times.  We remain under the leadership of a man who doesn't belong at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC but regardless of that he is still there tearing up the place while all he seems to care about is building his Ballroom-Bunker on the site of where the East Wing of the White House used to stand.

Despite the staggering victory by Democrats all across America on November 3rd, Election Day 2026, Donald Trump still remains on the White House grounds like an obnoxious relative who comes to visit and refuses to ever leave.

If Donald Trump had the least bit of shame he would look at the Election Results and understand the astounding level of rejection that he has received by American Voters in Every single state in the union AND RESIGN.

But unfortunately Donald Trump does not see reality in the same way that most other Americans do. Although he encouraged voters to vote like he was on the ballot, his reaction to the voters overwhelming rejection of him is to claim that if he was on the ballot that he and the Republicans would have won by a "landslide."

So at this point it is doubtful that Donald Trump will ever see himself in the same way that the voters of America have seen him.  He is under the dark and mistaken illusion that he is a "Stable Genius" who is one of the Best Presidents that we have ever had.  

Clearly at this point we should all be able to see that even this Incredible Landslide Voters Rebellion against Donald Trump will probably not change his mind about what a Great Bang Up Job he is doing as President.  There may be an outside chance that he might wake up to the fact that the American people think that he is a jackass who has been doing a terrible job as President and RESIGN but I'm certainly not counting on that.

I suppose we could all hope the Trump Cabinet might push Trump out but that would only put JD Vance, a Committed Authoritarian,  in charge. No Thanks. Plus it would take a lot more spine than any of the Cabinet Members have for them to turn on their Fearless Leader. 

I think it is going to take all of us awhile to recognize just how overwhelming a victory Democrats have received following the November 3rd Election Day Country Wide Landslide.  After more than a decade of waking up depressed as I watched the outrageous stupidity and cruelty practiced daily by Donald Trump and his Republican cronies I feel as though I needed to pinch myself every day this week to make sure that the Blue Wave was real.

It Was.

Yes, the polls predicted that this Election Day was going to be a Good One for Democrats but after the incredible disappointments Democrats have been through over the course of several years I and many of my Democratic Friends were skeptical about the poll predictions.

After all, the polls had predicted Democratic Victories before that didn't pan out.  

We were told that Hillary Clinton was a shoo in.

She Was Not.

We were also told that Kamala Harris was also a shoo in.

She was not either.

Who can blame us for not trusting the polls.  They have failed us in the past.

But on Blue Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026 they didn't fail us.  The polls told us that Democrats were poised for Victory.

They received the victory but although the polls were certainly encouraging no one expected the Blue Wave to turn into a Tsunami.

But it did turn into a Tsunami and one of the most astounding Election Victories that the American Democratic Party had ever seen.  As time has progressed we are continuing to witness the massive extent of the victory.  No one in their right mind would have or could have predicted the overwhelming capturing of nearly every state in the union including even TEXAS and KANSAS by the Democratic Party.

The time will come for Democrats and, indeed all Americans, to analyze the data and the extent of how much America has changed in the past week.

For Now it is time for Democrats who have grown tired of hearing the constant complaints from Americans stating -

"Why aren't the Democrats doing more to control Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress?" 

Now Democrats finally have an answer to that question.

We Democrats are ready, America, to take responsibility once again for our Government.  We still have Donald Trump to deal with but as of January of 2027 we will be in charge of the United States Congress and unlike the Republicans who have given Donald Trump free range to do whatever the hell he wanted to do, that unlimited Republican Blank Check will no longer be available for Trump to cash in 2027.

It is a New Day America.  Democracy is back in style again in America.  Clearly we almost lost it but we in the United States have come to our senses in time to save Democracy for our Children and Grandchildren.

We Democrats promise the American people who have put their faith in us that we will do our best to try to live up to your faith in us and we will act responsibly in the halls of Congress to work hard to get our Government back on track and keep it on track.

To our Allies and Friends throughout the world We Democrats promise that Democracy is truly still alive and well once again in America.  Please, Canada and other important allies, try to understand that we support NATO and Ukraine and those of you who have always been there for us.  Unfortunately we are all probably stuck with our mentally Ill President for another two years but we pledge never to make the same mistake again of electing someone like Donald Trump.  

We Democrats will work together with Republicans to get our house in order as soon as possible and to those Americans who took a chance on us we want to say THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Sincerely Yours

It's A Bird - It's A Plane - It's SUPERDEM

 Friday October 30th  2026

My Dear America:  

To be honest I am tired as hell of watching Politcal Ad's on Television with one candidate after another Hellishly Bashing their Opponents with whatever Sleazy Oppo Research they can find to tarnish the reputations of their opponents.  

Jesus, what a Rouges Gallery we have created of Individuals we are left with to vote for if we seriously consider every Crappy Slam Ad to be Truthful. 

As I sometimes do before I start writing my posts I checked today and read over one of my previous posts  from Saturday November 5th of 2016 that many Readers of my Blog had dredged up and read recently.  The Blog Post was titled "The Man In The High Trump Tower."  As is usually the case when I write about Donald Trump It was a hateful and seriously biased story that predicted what I thought we were in for in the coming years if Donald Trump was elected in 2016.  

Of course he was elected in November of 2016, as well as in 2024 and as we know as horror filled as my predictions were at the time I wrote them as we prepare for the coming Mid Term Elections I have to say that my predictions, while disastrous didn't even touch the surface of what we have had to endure from Donald Trump during both of his Lie Filled Elections.

Back in the day Trump stated that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it.  At the time when he said it I thought he was full of crap and just bragging in his megalomaniac style.

But this Wack Job wasn't kidding and it seems as though many of his supporters have lost all sense of responsibility and decency as Trump has ravaged our country from sea to shining sea of madness.

Those of you who read my Blog or listen to my Podcasts might have noticed that I have increased my output of posts quite recently.  That was because some really wacky stuff was happening and I felt compelled to comment on it.

Also Like all of us I was hearing that things looked good for the Democrats in the upcoming Mid term Elections in November.  I still hope that this is true but I am a little more worried than I was a couple of weeks ago.  

I have seen some recent interviews with MAGA Supporters and in particular Latino Supporters who are willing to condemn some things like the Iran War and Trump and Vance's support for Vivek Ramaswamy's disgusting Ad featuring Doctor Amy Acton's mother condemning her daughter as a liar while Mom was exposed  as abandoning her daughter while running away with the stepfather who sexually abused her daughter. But in these MAGA supporter interviews that condemned some of the things that should have been condemned, the MAGA supporters also stated that despite their condemnation of those things that deserved to be condemned the MAGA supporters were still planning to support Republicans in the upcoming election.

No, it doesn't make any sense.  Nothing with regard to Donald Trump and MAGA seems to make any sense but into this sea of Dark Madness has come a ray of light.

Yes, Democrats beginning last Saturday hopefully our Savior and Super Democrat has arrived on the scene.  Like Superman of Old, Barack Obama was not going to sit this one out on the sidelines.  Like Superman, Obama was ready to speak about Truth, Justice and The American Way. He came into Ohio First on Saturday Endorsing Sherrod Brown for Senator and Amy Acton for Governor.  As is usually the case with Obama, his speech was a barn burner that torched not only Ramaswamy but his backer, Donald Trump, who thought that Ramaswamy's ad was perfectly fine.  Obama's main concentration in his speech was Donald Trump.

Obama pointed out that in his own Administration he had shown that there was absolutely no reason to go to war with Iran.  Representatives of the Obama Administration had negotiated an agreement that kept Iran from obtaining and enriching Uranium. The International Atomic Energy Agency was tasked with making sure that the Iranians were not enriching Uranium.  That treaty was in effect and working well when Trump took back the White House and Trump immediately ripped up the agreement and Trump claimed that he was going to get a better agreement but instead he started a war with Iran.

From there Obama lit into many but of course  not all of the problems that Republicans led by Donald Trump had inflicted on the country.  Suffice it to say that Barack Obama had a lot to say and he said it powerfully in Ohio and then later on moved over to Michigan where he endorsed Jocelyn Benson for Governor and Abdul El Sayed for Senator and essentially gave pretty much the same speech he had given in Ohio with of course different endorsements.  

One of Obama's comments about Trump was that his extreme use of gold in the Oval Office looked like he was trying to make the it look like Saddam Hussein was setting up a "Cheese Factory" in the Oval Office.  

Clearly this reference to the Cheese Factory angered Trump and Trump had his Billionaire Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent set up a news conference outside of a "Cheese Factory" Restaurant in response to Obama's comment. 

This only gave Barack Obama more to say about the Trump Administration's odd obsessive anger about his "Cheese Factory" Joke.  When Obama took his Endorsement Tour to Atlanta Georgia this week Obama was struck by the fact that what bothered Trump about his joke was not the reference to Saddam Hussein but Obama's supposed disrespect to the "Cheese Factory".

Clearly we are surely in incredible times these days in which we see dueling Presidents on the Campaign trail.  

Obama is a President who can spellbind an audience with his brilliance and his self deprecating Humor.

Trump is a President who seems to to be obsessed with Ohio Senatorial Candidate John Husted's Ass.

These days when I think of our Current President the term "Horses Ass" comes to mind.

I just hope that in the Dystopian Scenario where Donald Trump might possibly be allowed to run for a third term that Barack Obama might be willing to run against him and beat the living hell out of this "Horse's Ass.

Other Democratic All Stars Like Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and the Clintons have also been on the Campaign Trail recently to endorse Candidates and to encourage Democrats to get out and vote once again like your life depends on it.

Because there is no doubt these days that it surely does.

Sincerely Yours

An Important Message For American Allies - Please Don't Give Up On The United States

 Saturday October 24th  2026

My Dear American Allies:

Yes, I know that it is difficult these days for Allies to trust America because somehow something got very screwed up over the last several years and Donald Trump has once again become President of the United States.

I am very suspicious that Elon Musk's Ex Girlfriend was correct when she claimed that Elon told her that he manipulated the 2024 Election in Donald Trump's favor.

Whether or not this was true the present truth is that Donald Trump is in the White House whether we like it or not. 

Count me and most of my friends and relations in the "NOT" Column.  I suspect that at this point in time enough Americans have learned enough to realize that Donald Trump's return to power in America has been an unmitigated DISASTER.

Is he Crazy.  Is he Evil, or is he both.  Whatever he is he is certainly bad news for America and he is also bad news for the world.

A few years ago, when Joe Biden was our President -(Ah,  the Good Old Days when we were still a Democracy) - Joe Biden warned Ukraine President Zelensky that American Intelligence had learned that The Russians were amassing their Armed Forces on the Ukraine Border and were planning to invade and conquer Ukraine

President Zelensky found Joe Biden's warning difficult to believe.  Why in the world would Russian President Putin invade a peaceful neighboring country. Russians and Ukrainians had for many years lived as Brothers and Sisters, mostly peacefully except for when Russia annexed Crimea.  Russia invading Ukraine would make no sense at all.  

Zelensky found out soon enough, however, that Biden had been telling him the truth and very quickly the former Actor and Comedian who was now in charge of Ukraine found himself thrust from being a Peaceful President into being a Wartime President.  

At this point more than Four years down the line clearly Putin's Plan for a quick end to Zelensky and to the War in Ukraine never happened.  Zelensky has made it clear from the first that he had no plans to flee and abandon his country and his bravery has inspired his Country Men and Women to fight for and defend their Home Country of Ukraine. 

Zelensky is nobody's fool and although he has tolerated a lot of Donald Trump's Nonsense up to now so that America would continue to assist Ukraine with supplies he could always clearly see, as anyone else could see, that Donald Trump had decided long ago who to support in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.  Although Trump wasn't as blatantly Pro Putin at first he has become ridiculously Pro Putin at this point and Zelensky has finally had enough and as Trump and Musk pulled the plug on Starlink halting Ukraine's ability to keep Russian Drones and missiles at bay Zelensky has begun to say out loud what everyone has been able to see for a long time now.  President Donald Trump has chosen to stand with the Russian Invaders of Ukraine rather than the Democratic Freedom Fighters who have been holding back the Russian Invaders for years now.

God Bless Zelensky and God Bless Ukraine as the Ukrainians continue to fight hard for their survival.  They are a brave and impressive people and if Vladimir Putin was smart he would pack up his troops and get the hell out of Ukraine as fast as he can.  

We in the United States of America are shocked and saddened by many things that we continue to see our President do not only to Ukraine but to Canada, to Venezuela, to Iran, to Greenland and to many other countries all around the world.

It is clear as a bell to many of us who live in the United States that There is something radically wrong with our President.  He clearly admires the most Despicable Dictators on earth and seems to really enjoy denigrating and damaging those People and countries who have for many years been our Allies.  

I realize that it must be difficult for those Countries who have long been our Allies to support America and trust us right now.  

Those of us who still believe in Democracy (And I would have to say that that is most People in America) ask those of you who are truly our Allies to give us a little more time.  We have an election coming up in November in which we are counting on Responsible Democratic Candidates to take back our Congress and our Country from those who would rather turn it over to the reckless and the insane.  

To those Americans who are tired of Trump's BS please stop bitching about what he has been doing and will continue to do if he is not stopped.  

If you are a registered voter don't wait for someone else to vote the Republican Do Nothings out.  Get your own plan ready to get your vote counted on November 3rd and lets take back our Country and return it to our Democratic Principles.

A Democracy Is a Terrible thing to waste.

Sincerely Yours

In The Closing Days Of The 2026 Midterm Elections Vivek Ramaswamy And J.D. Vance Have Created A New Low In Political Campaigning

 Thursday, October 22nd  2026

My Dear America:

Usually when a new low in Political Campaigning is reached these days generally the culprit is Donald Trump. 

It isn't the fact that Donald Trump isn't reaching new lows in statements and behaviors every day.

He is, of course. But we have all become so numb to his constant new lows that it takes a lot for something to appear to be worse than Trump.  

But it seems to have happened in Ohio where Republican, Vivek Ramaswamy has run an ad on Television featuring the mother of his Democratic Rival for the Governorship, Dr. Amy Acton denigrating her daughter as a "Liar".  Acton's mother appears to be a poor haggard old woman who in another situation might be pulling at the heartstrings of Ohio Voters.  But such is not the case right now.

There is no attempt in Vivekswamy's ad to present any context of why Acton's mother would verbally attack her daughter in a television ad at this point in the Governor's race.

What has been revealed about Acton's Mother, however, is that she is not the sweet aging caring mom that Vivekswamy's ad presents her to be.  Reporters digging into the ad and Acton's background have found that when Acton was 11 or 12 and under the age of consent she was removed from her mother's home due to allegations that Acton's stepfather was repeatedly sexually assaulting the woman who is now running for Governor of Ohio.

Inexplicably both Ramaswamy and Vice President J.D.Vance have doubled down on defending Ramaswamy's horrible ad.  There have also been a number of Republicans who have expressed disgust with the ad and it is difficult to see how this reckless and insensitive ad is going to help Ramaswamy win the governorship.  There already seems to be increasing support for Doctor Amy Acton in the polls and with regard to donations to her campaign.  

Nikki Haley, who debated Ramaswamy in the early days of the 2024 Republican campaign for President has called him a "Bad Guy."  I recall seeing that debate and Ramaswamy struck me at the time as being a very arrogant and entitled phony who seemed to attack every one of his debate partners in a vicious manner that reminded me of Donald Trump, who was not at that particular debate. It struck me that Ramaswamy in that debate was likely campaigning to be considered for Vice President if Donald Trump ended up being the Presidential Candidate.

Although Donald Trump has not, as yet commented on Ramaswamy's controversial ad he would do well to stay away from it like its a dead skunk in the middle of the road.  

It seems unlikely that JD Vance has not at least discussed this Ramaswamy ad situation with Trump and obtained the President's approval regarding Vance's support of the ad prior to JD commenting on it.

Some of the women on "The View" were horrified by the Ramaswamy ad and seemed to feel as though JD Vance may have lost any chance to be successful in the 2028 election.  

Time will tell about JD Vance's chances in 2028.  

Certainly, It seems unlikely that Vivek Ramaswamy will ever be back on a campaign trail ever again after this election.

We can all hope that this vampire will never rise again in American Politics.

Sincerely Yours

Living Large And Loud - The Ups and Downs of Professional Grifter Kimberly Guilfoyle

Saturday, October 17th,  2026

I'll say one thing about KImberly Guilfoyle.

This Woman has led one Hell of an Interesting and Entitled Life so far.

Although these days it seems as though Kimberly is facing more Downs Than Ups it has not always been this way.

Kimberly started her life as the daughter of a rather well to do San Francisco businessman. Anthony Guilfoyle, who along with being Kimberly's dad was also, according to California Governor, Gavin Newsom's excellent Autobiography, "Young Man In a Hurry" one of Newsom's most trusted political advisors.

Even though Kimberly is not exactly ugly these days the Then and Now Photos of Kimberly clearly show that back in the day when she was married to Newsom for Four years she was nothing short of a Knockout - Extremely Beautiful.

These days- Eh, Not so much.  She has obviously had some serious questionable plastic surgery resulting in puffy lips and what some people call "Mara Lago Face".  Not Good.

Many years after living comfortably in Gavin Newsom's Liberal World, Kimberly Guilfoyle seemed to have had a complete change in Personality and World View and completely abandoned Liberal Society for the Comfort of Fox News, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Junior and Conservative Society.  

Although Newsom certainly had a perfect opportunity in his book to trash his Ex he pretty much had fairly positive things to say about her. He did point out, however, that his mother and his sister were not particularly fond of Kimberly although they apparently did not express their reservations to Newsom early on.  Newsom's sister indicated that she felt that Kimberly's need for attention was "over the top" and could never seem to be met to Kimberly's satisfaction.

Newsom and Guilfoyle cited problems with their long distance relationship as the main reason for getting divorced, although the fact that Kimberly was already pregnant with her next husband's child would have to be considered a factor in the downfall of their marriage. Kimberly was married to Eric Villency for Five Years after she and Newsom divorced.

Following her marriage to Gavin Newsom Kimberly began a career in television which was initially successful.  She worked at Court TV and Fox News for awhile until problems cropped up with Fox News.  She was apparently pressured into resigning after Fox News had to shell out 4 Million Dollars to an Assistant of Guilfoyle's at the network who accused Guilfoyle of Sexual Harassment and other improprieties.

Guilfoyle went on to date Donald Trump Junior and became an insider in the Trump Organization. She had some responsibilities regarding finances for the 2020 Re Election Efforts for Donald Trump.  

Guilfoyle was even asked to speak at the 2020 Republican Convention which was essentially a Televised Convention Special due to Covid.  Guilfoyle received a lot of Negative Attention for her Excessively Loud Convention Speech which some called "Unhinged".  Clearly at this point things were going well for Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Junior.  They were buying houses together and it was announced that they were engaged to be married.

Then something Happened.

What happened was the revelation in 2024 that Donald Trump Junior was now dating a Palm Beach Socialite named Bettina Anderson. who he has recently married in a controversial Ceremony largely paid for by a Russian Oligarch and close associate of Vladimir Putin.

Apparently as a Consolation Prize for getting cruelly Jilted in Public by the President's son, Donald Trump appointed Kimberly Guilfoyle to be Ambassador to Greece. Greece was certainly not a bad place to be sent when someone is trying to get rid of you.

But as was the case in other situations in which Guilfoyle always seemed to have self created problems with her jobs, it was revealed recently that while she was being considered for Confirmation to be Ambassador to Greece she was begging a Trump Donor named Eric Deter for 100 Thousand dollars to pay off her American Express Card and instructing him how to do it without leaving a paper trail that could be discovered.

Whoops, She did it again.

I'm sure that Kimberly Guilfoyle probably thought that this was no big deal.  Within the Trump Klan 100 Thou is Chump Change to the Grifter in Chief.  

But that is him, Kim, not you.  You have to keep your nose clean and Grift from somebody who is not going to reveal your Grift to MSNOW.

There are, of course other allegations, as well, and as of today Donald Trump is searching for another Ambassador to Greece.

I wouldn't worry too much about Kimberly Guilfoyle, though.  Now that she has joined the ranks of other Women dumped by Donald Trump like Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard & Pam Bondi She will probably get a Tell All Book Deal from some publisher that will undoubtedly solve her financial problems for good.

And I'll be honest.  I can't wait to read it.  

I hope she will be as kind to Gavin Newsom in her book as he was to her in his book.

But to tell you the truth, I don't expect that to happen.

Sincerely Yours

The Senate Judiciary Kangaroo Committee Crucifixion Of Jack Smith

Monday October 12th, 2026

 

My Dear America:

WOW

These Republican Senators just don't get it.

But they are going to get it on Election day in November of 2026. They are going to get it good, or bad, depending on how you look at it

The recent Senate Judiciary Committee meeting in which Former Special Prosecutor, Jack Smith was scheduled to testify was, to use some of Donald Trump's Favorite Descriptions  A Hoax and a Witch Hunt.

Unfortunately for the Republican Senators who were clearly hopelessly unprepared for the onslaught that they planned to unleash on the testifying Prosecutor, Smith was ready for them and he was not willing to become their Witch or their Bitch.  

While the Republicans on the Committee lashed out unmercifully against Jack Smith, he calmly told the truth about why he was there in the first place.  He told the committee members that in his legal judgement Donald Trump had broken the law on January 6th of 2021 by unleashing a destructive Mob to disrupt the Capitol and prevent the legal proceedings that would certify Joe Biden as the Elected President of the United States.   Smith also stated that Trump was also guilty of  illegal theft of Top Secret Government Files which he was found with at Mara Lago and refused to return to the United States Government.

While I am sure that Republican Senators didn't intend This hearing to go the way it did I can't see that anyone who watched even a little bit of these Committee Proceedings could have seen anything that Republicans could be proud of.  

As Americans continue to see lives and munitions wasted on an unnecessary war in Iran that continues to jack up prices on Gas and Food Items I doubt that anyone watching this Committee Meeting's public display of Republican Fealty to a man who doesn't deserve it can feel good about it.

Clearly Republicans are not recognizing how out of touch they are in trying to punish Jack Smith for doing an excellent job in getting the goods on Donald Trump which was what he was hired to do.  

Although I didn't see the entire Committee Hearing I heard enough to make me sick to death that we have to put up with this ridiculous ass kissing behavior on the part of the Republican Committee Members toward Donald Trump.  The worst offenders that I observed were Josh Hawley, John Kennedy, Eric Schmitt and Darlene Graham. Graham's attack on Smith was especially inappropriate since she has shown herself to be an especially know nothing Senator who has a hell of a lot of nerve making judgements on someone as accomplished as Jack Smith.

What in holy hell do these Republican Senators think they are doing. It is perfectly clear that Jack Smith did the job that he was hired to do and he did it appropriately.  Even if he hadn't done a good job No American today is focused on that.  The American People do not want to hear any more about whether or not Donald Trump won or didn't win the Presidency in 2020.  Cory Booker put it best when he pointed out that it was clear that the truth was that Donald Trump lost the election in 2020.

Who in the hell cares about that when America may be on the brink of bankruptcy or even extinction due to Donald Trump spending money like a drunken sailor on monuments to himself while Americans can't afford to buy gas or groceries.  

I challenge any American voter to please look up this Senate Judiciary Committee Meeting from 9/29/26 on You Tube and determine for yourself Which side you are on this November.

Clearly Republicans realize that they are stuck with Trump for now and they are shameless in their adulation for a man who is clearly going to sink their party in November and is sinking the entire country right now.  

Thank God there were some Democrats including Cory Booker, Adam Schiff, Amy Klobuchar and Sheldon Whitehouse sitting in on these proceedings and reacting appropriately to the insanity of the Republican Party in 2026. 

God Bless us all in 2026.  We are certainly going to need God's Blessing as this year continues.

I Loved the fact that Jack Smith showed up at the "Power To The People Concert" wearing a Bruce Springsteen "Land Of Hope And Dreams" sweatshirt and was acknowledged by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters.

When Donald Trump's attempt to put on a concert couldn't get even get off the ground, sometime E Street Band member Tom Morello organized a Musical Democracy Celebration that was truly outstanding Musically and was incredibly well attended and broadcast on You Tube through MSNOW. 

I Just Have to Say That I Can Feel That Blue Wave Coming.  

Life Is Good Sometimes

Sincerely Yours

A Saturday Of Family And Music In My New Home Town Of Havertown Pennsylvania

Monday, September 28th, 2026

My Dear America:

Although I had one issue with plugging in an Electric Heater and apparently causing the electricity in my new Apartment to shut off, My Landlord reacted quickly and my Electricity was restored right away.

Other than that annoying glitch, things have been falling into place in my new digs in Havertown, Pa. It was a bit sad to leave my long time home in Allentown, PA where I lived with my Wife since the Eighties and we raised 2 Daughters but the time had come and last weekend thanks to my daughter, I moved a great deal of my stuff to Havertown.  I drove down to Havertown the next day, Monday because I have issues with driving at night these days.  LED Lights make it a bit hard for me to see at night so I pretty much stay off the roads when its dark. 

I know I'm going to miss my relatives and Friends who still live in the Lehigh Valley but there are some definite advantages to living down here in Havertown and I found that out last Saturday.  I got a call from my one of my daughters early Saturday Morning inviting me to go to breakfast with her and her sister and my 2 youngest Granddaughters.  Although the day was rainy I had my umbrella ready and easily walked the half block or so to meet them at the restaurant.  It was wonderful to spend time with them and the Western Omlette Breakfast was outstanding.  They all walked with me back to my Apartment which my one daughter had not seen furnished yet and we chatted for a bit and had a nice time.  My Granddaughter who had already provided me with Artwork was pleased to see one of her drawings already on display, thanks to her Aunt.

It was truly a nice start to my first Saturday as a full fledged Resident of Havertown, PA.  I had in mind a rather laid back Day and in many respects that's what it was.  It had been a fun start to the day since any day spent with my Daughters and Granddaughters is a Great Day in my book.  But there was more to come.

I knew that Saturday, September 26th was the date scheduled for Farm Aid, the Annual Fund Raising Concert put on by Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews that I had watched online on occasion in the past several years.  I checked on my new Computer and found that Farm Aid was being broadcast over You Tube so I tuned in.

Once again during the day Farm Aid was exposing some extraordinary talent on the Farm Aid Stage most of whom were not yet well known artists. Although I watched and enjoyed the Farm Aid lineup throughout the day I realized that at 7:30 one of my daughters had bought a ticket for me to attend a concert at "The Kelly Center" called "Imagine Lennon" that celebrated John Lennon and music of the Beatles.  

As 7:30 approached I was watching all that I could of Margo Price performing at Farm Aid but eventually realized that it was time to get to the Kelly Center.  I don't know why I thought that there would still be seats available for this show but I found out when I hustled around the corner to the Kelly Center that the show was sold out and there were no seats left.  Luckily for me Tom Kelly, the Gentleman in charge of the Kelly Center came up with a chair for me and I settled in to enjoy the show.

It was clear from the First Downbeat that the group that was presenting this tribute to Jahn Lennon and the Beatles clearly had done it before and knew exactly what they were doing. They were sensational.

The leader of the group looked and sounded like John Lennon with a few miles on him. He played Guitar and Piano.  There was a Bass player and a Rickenbacker Electric Guitar player.  Both of them were good harmony Singers, as well.  The Keyboard Player was terrific and had a grin on his face throughout the show.  This guy was having a hell of a good time from start to finish.  The drummer was as skilled as they come and to add to all that there were three excellent horn players, two sax players and one trumpet player.  

The group played an exceptionally long set with no breaks and the Audience of Beatle Lovers was thrilled and appreciative of the extraordinary performance that they had seen and heard.

After the Kelly Show I quickly returned to my Apartment where Farm Aid was still going on.  I was thrilled to find that still to come on Farm Aid was Neil Young and Willie Nelson and Family.

It occurred to me as I watched Neil first and then Willie and Family That both Neil and Willie were still outstanding performers but even though they played well both of these performers were not at the peak of their performance as singers. They had both seen better days as performers but that wasn't really the point of what was happening now.  These two Old Timers were not done yet with their careers or with helping out the Family Farmers Of America and certainly Old Neil Young and Old Willie Nelson was certainly better than No Neil Young or No Willie Nelson., at all

I watched what was left of Saturday Night Live after Farm Aid ended and went to bed feeling pretty happy about my First Saturday as a Resident of Havertown, Pennsylvania.

Sincerely Yours

Jerry Gallagher
