Well said, Jesse. To quote another song from those times by Johnny Cash, "And the lonely voice of youth said, what is Truth?" We might add a corollary, "Does truth matter anymore?" Terry.

Amen, brother. I got not one derogatory note on my story , "Targeted". I was shocked. This is well written. You are doing right to get your legs as strong as you can. Eons ago when I had my third back surgery, the doctor told me to weigh no more than 125 pounds as I was then 5' 4". He said any excess weight pulls at my back. I got down to 112. I went back to my eating something small every 4 hours. That is the diabetic diet. I maintain the diet to this day. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Karen

The knee replacement is a simple operation and what joy to be walking! Don't forget to do your exercises before and after the op. Yes, I was gobsmacked at the election results. I don't live in America but this is the worst outcome, not only for you guys. It will have ramifications around the World. Take care friend. K xx

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
There was so much hatred levied at Trump and he had so many enemies and yet he battled against all odds and won the election. I am sorry you feel disappointment, I felt like that when the labour party won the vote at the last election, pensioners are now suffering with allowances being cut and many will die of the cold this winter.
I favoured Trump because he is a Republican and traditionally they will help the country prosper and we need to fight world inflation. Also they will take a hard line with illegal immigrants that are draining America's health services. I am hoping Trump will tackle the world's peace problems and befriend Russia and China to prevent a world war.
Democracy dies under the Democrats as they restrict people's power to lift themselves out of poverty. I am hoping that life will improve for you all here Jesse, so take heart and look forward to a brighter future. People may not like Trump's personality, but his policies will work for America.

I reserve the right to disagree. But each to their own, right?
Thanks for stopping by.

Comment from karenina
Oh, Jesse! Very well expressed, my friend! These are worrisome times for so many the President elect considers "less than" in our society and the world.
I take some comfort in nearly half the country not voting for him!
I, too, am hoping and intend to be peacefully proactive in pushing back against those he has declared marginalized.
You are well loved and respected here...and I am one among many who support you both in your next series of health challenges and your determination to remain true to your identity, despite DJT's efforts to take us back to a time of intolerance.
To peace and harmony!

Wow, Karenina! Your gifts of six stars and many pumps are overwhelming in your generosity and kindness!
Your support of me is unwavering and I feel hopeful knowing that you among many are here for me despite the election results.
I wonder how could so many vote for him again. People are afraid of differences.
I feel secure knowing your love and kindness are here for me in these crazy times.
Thanks, my friend!
To peace and harmony!

Comment from Gloria ....
A timely and important post, Jesse. Trump has to be regarded with great caution like a scorpion given that he has promised to reinstate a ban on military service for transgender people and block transition related care nationwide.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community should also be concerned about their rights under Trump given his love and admiration for Putin whose government recently expanded anti-LGBTQ laws in Russia.
Thank you for sharing. You are not a minority on FanStory.

Thanks, Gloria, for stopping by to scare the living daylights out of me. Comparing Trump to a scorpion is an apt statement and one I would not have considered before reading your review.
Although the things you say are true I still need to lean on hope that things will work out in the end. I am an optimist by nature.
Thanks for your support. I appreciate you making me aware of his cunning way. I know it is going to be a bumpy ride.

Comment from Wendy G
I hope that nothing goes wrong for your knee replacement. It's a frightful thing to contemplate that a president would be so uncaring as to diminish the rights and well-being of minority groups. However he is hungry for power, and seems to be a very vengeful person towards those who disagree with him. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes.

Yes, I completely agree, Jesse. We need to pray and lean on each other for hope that God will continue to provide and help us work toward peace in this country. I'm also a minority and we Asians suffered attacks during Trump's administration because of his racist rhetoric. Those who are not in the minority cannot understand how we feel.
