“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Benjamin Carson Shares Mother’s Poem, “Yourself to Blame, By: Mayme White Miller.”
Dr. Benjamin Carson, director of pediatric neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins Hospital
The poem (below) and the legacy of Dr. Benjamin Carson, Pediatric Neurosurgeon, should serve as an inspiration for all.
America is Beautiful and exceptional.
*********************
“Yourself to Blame.”
If things go bad for you
And make you a bit ashamed
Often you will find out that
You have yourself to blame
Swiftly we ran to mischief
And then the bad luck came
Why do we fault others?
We have ourselves to blame
Whatever happens to us,
Here is what we say
“Had it not been for so-and-so
Things wouldn’t have gone that way.”
And if you are short of friends,
I’ll tell you what to do
Make an examination,
You’ll find the faults in you…
You’re the captain of your ship,
So agree with the same
If you travel downward
You have yourself to blame
Author: Mayme White Miller
Be inspired. Look beyond the blame and let no one distract you from your goals, nor convince you otherwise.
Dr. Carson”s common sense facts much needed and appreciated We need more of the same…Everyone needs to join together. Our young ones need guidance from those with wisdom and those who have walked the walk.
Amen!

What happened? Plain and simple. Democrats should listen – Hollywood is not the mouth piece to send out as spokes people in elections.
The Democrats didn’t follow the Constitution and veered off course with their hate – so here they are.
It all started with Pelosi/Obama/Clooney’s star-studded event in CA to soak up big dollars for Joe Biden. After they faked/raked old Joe then Pelosi asked Joe to stand down after his fatal debate with Trump failed – they knew they were in trouble.
They faked it with Joe’s dementia in the 2020 election by keeping him in the basement and it still is not clear – did he win or did they cheat for him to win? It has been said both ways. History always proves itself. And, they tried to continue to fake it with Joe in 2024/ Then it got to the point – they couldn’t keep him in the basement any longer after his bad debate.
The background story of Kamala Harris was she ran against Joe in the primary election and lost and did not get even ONE VOTE. And,, they still tried to sell her to the public by replacing Joe with her which did not follow the Constitutional process.
So, here we are – in the end the Democrats didn’t fool anyone with their candidate – they selected her – not the voting process and GOT STUNG.
Therefore, in the end – it wasn’t Biden’s fault he was a solid candidate by coming through the right process. Then, you have the Tim Walz’ pick as vice president – which was as far left as Harris which was not good for the country.
It was Pelosi/Obama/Clooney who should be blamed for trying to cheat – don’t blame Joe Biden – he was the victim in this story.

Democrats Implode: The Blame Game Over Harris’ Loss Begins
- Posted byby Jimmy Parker
- November 6, 2024
The dust has barely settled on the latest election, and already, the Democrats are pointing fingers, placing blame, and, quite frankly, eating each other alive. With Kamala Harris’ embarrassing defeat to Donald Trump, the old party of “unity” has descended into a battlefield of infighting and “if only” scenarios, and it’s quite the spectacle.
Kamala’s Running Mate Disaster: The “Tim Walz Problem”
The decision to pick Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Harris’ running mate is getting more flak than a B-17 Flying Fortress during a WW2 Bombing run. Why? According to key Democratic operatives, Walz was just too “folksy,” too tied to the 2020 riots in Kenosha, and way too left-leaning for mainstream America. Party insiders are arguing that Harris should have gone with Josh Shapiro, the “charismatic” Pennsylvania governor. But hey, why pick someone who might appeal to working-class voters when you can go with a guy who, to many Americans, represents everything that’s gone wrong with the “woke” leadership of the Left?
Democratic strategist Lindy Li put it plainly, wondering aloud what might have been if Harris had paired up with Shapiro. And apparently, she’s not alone. Many on the inside thought Shapiro would have softened Harris’ image—moving her away from that classic “San Francisco liberal” label Trump branded her with. But Harris picked someone even further to the left. Maybe next time, they’ll realize that the middle ground isn’t so scary after all
Harris’ Failure to Stake Out Her Own Positio
Beyond the VP pick, Harris’ critics within her own party are grumbling about her inability to stake out clear policy positions and put some distance between herself and the outgoing Biden administration. In an eye-rolling moment on The View, Haris was asked what she’d have done differently from Biden over the last four years. Her response? A bold, inspiring, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” In other words, she couldn’t name a single policy where she’d have taken a stand of her own. Talk about reassuring leadership…
This lack of distinction might have seemed like loyalty, but it didn’t help when Biden’s approval ratings tanked. Standing by his every move ended up looking more like political quicksand than a solid platform. If Harris thought it would give her a free pass with voters, she was sorely mistaken. Democrats are now saying that her refusal to step out of Biden’s shadow only hurt her more.
The Demographic Fallout: The Great Divi
Meanwhile, the Democratic coalition—famously known for covering every base—is splintering. White women didn’t show up in the numbers the party needed, and Black men switched to Trump in higher numbers than anticipated. MSNBC’s Joy Reid bluntly pointed fingers at white women voters in North Carolina, accusing them of abandoning Harris. Yet, curiously, Reid had less to say about the trend among Black men moving to Trump, which exit polls show rose by about 5%. Hispanic voters shifted even more significantly, with Trump gaining 45% support in this election.
It seems this “big tent” is starting to develop some noticeable leaks, and Democratic leaders are now scrambling to figure out where they went wrong. Funny how that happens when you stop listening to the concerns of real working Americans and start prioritizing Twitter trends over kitchen-table issues.
Biden’s Delay Didn’t Help Either
As if Harris didn’t have enough hurdles, another piece of criticism flying around is aimed squarely at Joe Biden. Many are saying that Biden’s decision to stay in the race for so long—despite his faltering support and rough debate performance—was a mistake. NBC’s Kristen Welker noted during election night that Biden should have bowed out much earlier, giving Harris a better chance to establish herself or letting the Democrats open up the field to new blood. Biden staying in only to bow out late in the game? Not exactly the passing of the torch Harris likely envisioned.
CNN’s Van Jones, once a key Obama adviser, chimed in with a critique of Harris’ campaign strategy, zeroing in on the campaign’s flashy, celebrity-filled rallies. According to Jones, working-class voters simply don’t have the time (or money) for star-studded events. “People have to choose between paying for babysitters to attend these big concerts or actually getting to the polls,” Jones observed. Turns out, glamor doesn’t win over voters struggling with everyday expenses.
The Lessons of the Harris-Walz Ticket
So what’s the moral of this story? The Democrats banked on an image-driven campaign without substantial policy distinctions. They assumed they could win by pointing fingers at Trump rather than laying out a bold vision. And now, the blame game has started. They’re left wondering if maybe, just maybe, they should have focused on the issues that matter to middle-class Americans, rather than pushing ideological experiments that left voters feeling disconnected.
In the end, the Democrats got caught in their own echo chamber, and it’s now glaringly obvious that their coalition is far from united. The Left may talk a lot about unity and progress, but when it comes down to it, their biggest obstacle might just be their inability to figure out what their own voters want. As they say, the first step is admitting you have a problem. But from the looks of it, the Democrats are a long way from political rehab.

Yes, they have a divided party brought about by Obama who first divided the country. Obama has been in bed with the Iran/Hamas group against Israel from day one. They will have to sort that out themselves.
Now with President Trump – he will work with both groups to seek peace and stop this killing on both sides from the way I see it. The most telling piece was when Iran/Hamas started the war with Israel and the Palestine’s had to flee – none of the countries in the Middle East would allow Hamas into their countries? Doesn’t that tell us something?
In my opinion, the countries who have hired terrorists should be called out and made to disband these people. The countries have armies of their own but pay the terrorists to do their dirty work. This has to be stopped. Where is the United Nations and the World Court?
Stop the wars and the killing of innocent people.
