Again ... nuff said. We have to look in the mirror to find the authors of this debacle. We can blame the news media, we can blame the 47 percent.

But it also means ... we collectively have the solution. And we will find it.

I think we need to take a few days to reflect on everything before we start pointing fingers. I am not defeated. This is a setback, but I will continue the fight.

California was lost from the beginning of this debacle, we will not achieve victory until the loss and pain affects even the beggar class of our society

Let us heed Adm Stockdale’s advice:

“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end – which you can never afford to lose – with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”

– VADM James Bond Stockdale, USN

It’s been a good run. Don’t go down cheap. Make them pay.

SEMPER FIDELIS: They can whip us, they can beat us, they can even kill us; THEY CAN NEVER DEFEAT US.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Macbeth, Act V

Good to hear from a Marine. I’m ex-army, but I don’t give up.

And can we not forget our own Brutus?

The majority have too much arrogance to beg
from the rich. More face in legally taking
it.

Yes, we must burn like Greece, but the Greeks
don’t see anything wrong. So it will burn to
the ground.

That would be my plan.

JCG’s device travels with me from now on.
