Thank for being so fearless over the last two years. We’ve been a fight for our sanity, and still it’s not over the military has been decimated by the White House’s interference in recruiting soldiers. The airlines are still understaffed but they are afraid to admit the WH is still giving instructions about the vaccine to flight attendants, baggage handlers, air traffic controllers and pilots! The madness is still affecting schools and many businesses. Pls continue to work for the human interests as you have always been a warrior.

President Biden was filmed talking to Eliza New of Harvard about how he loved Robert Hayden's poem, Those Winter Sundays. Hayden was born black and poor in Detroit, but rose through his education in high school, Wayne State and University of Michigan. He became the first Black consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress, and published many books of poetry.

Those Winter Sundays

Sundays too my father got up early

and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,

then with cracked hands that ached

from labor in the weekday weather made

banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.

When the rooms were warm, he’d call,

and slowly I would rise and dress,

fearing the chronic angers of that house,

Speaking indifferently to him,

who had driven out the cold

and polished my good shoes as well.

What did I know, what did I know

of love’s austere and lonely offices?

Biden has betrayed us all and particulary the poor and the marginalized. He needs a spiritual awakening. Maybe Beau could come to him in a dream and tell him of the evil he is unleashing. If anyone knows of "love's austere and lonely offices" it is Dr. Kory, who has lost all he had and kept on fighting for the health of everyone, but particularly for the kids, with great love and great courage.
