LETTER TO THE EDITOR — STAND BY OUR COUNTRY! (Failed Nominees)
Ex-Republicans and Recovering Republicans almost have to be feeling more angst than we Dems. Forty-some House Republicans, so far, are planning on retiring later this year ahead of the impending blue tsunami. There’s been an extremely high turnover-rate of White House staff, many having been fired and some forced to resign in disgrace. Twenty-four Trump nominees have failed to be confirmed by the Senate, but the ones that have … Stocking the Swamp! Scott Pruitt, EPA Chief, was grilled on Thursday by a Senate investigative committee on numerous ethic scandals, he has lied to them repeatedly; he needs to be fired. The White House physician, Ronny Jackson, was a Trump-nominee for Secretary of Veterans Affairs; his nomination interview postponed due to allegations (from 23 current and former colleagues, many still in the military) of creating a hostile work environment, drunkenness on the job, handing out prescription drugs, including opioids, for which he reportedly earned the nickname: Candy-man. Mr. Jackson withdrew his name for consideration on Thursday, but he deserves an investigation into these allegations and should be fired if ANY are proved true.
Mike Pompeo was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday as Secretary of State, leaving immediately to attend a NATO meeting. President Trump, who should have presidential business to perform instead called into the TV show: Fox & Friends LIVE, going on a long, unhinged rant about the raid on Michael Cohen, admitting that Cohen represented him “on this crazy Stormy Daniels deal” and basically destroyed his defense on 2 fronts. Lawyers for Cohen (and Trump) were trying to argue that materials seized in the raid should be protected by attorney-client privilege, but Trump said in the televised segment that “Cohen only handles a tiny, tiny fraction of my legal work”, those words only hours later finding their way into the court brief, working against them.
He ranted about corruption at the highest level of “his” justice department, said he’s been trying to stay away from managing it, “but at some point I won’t stay away from it”. A Senate Judiciary committee took a bipartisan vote on a bill to protect the Special Counsel investigation; the bill might not make its way to the floor.
The following quote from Republican strategist, Steve Schmidt’s website: “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President”, said Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States of America.

MAY 2018 PREDICTIONS
Uranus, after traveling through Aires for 7 years, “moves into Taurus on May 15th”. Unpredictable Uranus expressed through fiery Aries, squared by Pluto in Capricorn gave rise to chaos, volatility and the breakdown of “outdated regimes”. “Uranus represents revolution, rebellion, freedom and inspiration …. Taurus represents money, all physical, tangible things, including Earth” herself. “Pluto’s ongoing journey through Capricorn will continue to transform the establishment.” We can expect a shake-up in our economic structures “and the way we view the environment” — with more disasters and “unpredictable weather patterns over the next 7 years”. Gaia continues a warming phase and enters an even greater degree of instability, a shifting of poles. As many exacerbate the rape and pillage of our planet continuing — their irresponsible disposal of toxic wastes, the rampant use of dangerous pesticides, rolling back protections for clean air and water — Mother Earth may just rebel. Our planet continuing its ascension — needs less carbons spewed into our environment, and more solar and wind-powered devices utilized. For the financially savvy ….”invest only in green and or ethical companies”. This is the beginning of seeing big changes in companies and systems based on greed going bust; we are also seeing a transformation in how we make financial transactions. Uranus sides with the underdog, and we may see a rebellion to the unfair structures in place that serve the ultra-rich at the expense of those struggling to get by. “Possibilities range from a collapse of the financial system to revolutionary shifts that benefit the majority. Anticipate “a lot of talk about the economy … as we also have Saturn, Mars and Pluto in Capricorn (the sign of the system, “including governments, banks and powerful organizations)”. Uranus in Taurus “will encourage people to stand up against financial exploitation, greed and unfairness”. As Uranus moves into Taurus on May 15th, alongside Mercury … a time “perfect for downloading inspiring and innovative ideas … we also have a new moon in Taurus, intensifying new beginnings and making this a perfect time to invite change”. Mars squares Uranus on the 15th, so we can expect some volatility. Uranus is the Liberator — that calls on us to be authentic and to seek empowerment in all areas of weakness or restriction. As we near the end of the month, as the Sun enters Gemini, and Mars moves into Aquarius, we get a respite from “the heaviness of 7 planets in earth signs”. A full moon on the 29th optimistically encourages us “to broaden our horizons, remain curious and consider new possibilities”. Carl Jung wrote, “When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate”. As we strive to become “more conscious of what is going on within us and allow its expression” — we won’t feel as overtaken by events, and will hopefully feel more like Life is happening FOR US as opposed as happening TO US!
