In the meantime, I want to bring something that might have not been on the radar of my dear countrymen/women who have made Good Ole USA their home like me and my family. The current political environment is something of a concern to me lately. I am aware of the fact that every election season has been somewhat a charged up atmosphere in the past but this one is unique in its intensity. Those of you who were here during the weeks and months following the Watergate scandal would remember how the crisis reached to a level of a nightmare. But the country had found ways to resolve the crisis peacefully. I hope and pray it will find ways once again to defuse the current tense political environment wisely and peacefully. My concern is there is a substantial size in the society which feels threatened and now disfranchised. The days between now and the inauguration day are something to watch very carefully. Many among 74 million voters think and strongly believe they were cheated at the ballot box without any factual evidence. What really concerns me is this call by some elected officials for violence in the streets. I never heard of such reckless remark by elected officials before. As I have mentioned many times before in every society there are always some people who lack the sophistication and calm nerves to look through what they hear or read. All it needs just one lone wolf so roused up to do harm to others. So, please pay attention and stay tuned with the latest news. I am confident that the very capable folks at FBI are watchful to keep us all safe. We have to support them in their blessed efforts. If we see or hear something harmful then we should say something about it. Above all let’s hope and pray that peace will prevail and January 20 will be just as the same as those in the past: Peaceful inauguration!!!

My other concern has lately been the political environment here the USA. It is tense and highly charged up. It could escalate between now and the Inauguration Day. The loss in the Georgia senate race is gonna put more fuel to the raw emotion by the misguided protestors. There you have it, folks. My fear is justified. People are gathering up at the capital with such negative energy to disrupt the certification process of the election results. It has been peaceful so far but we should know that it is going to take just one or two deranged individuals to turn into undesired directions. Let’s hope level heads will prevail but it is more concerning to me now. The loss in the senate race in Georgia seems to fuel the raw emotion of the misguided crowd. It is good to see the president tweet urging the protestors to remain peaceful. I have been thru more than ten election seasons but never seen such a highly charged up environment like this one. So my dear countrymen/women! Please keep yourself abreast with the latest development especially those of who live in and around the capital and the state of Georgia/Atlanta. This tense moment could even be escalating between now and the Inauguration Day. Then it is going to take just one analyst-wannabe loose lip to be right on the mainstream media and tell the audience the new immigrants have played a tipping role for the victory to go to the other side. They were the Irish, Italians, Jews and others before to be blamed and now it could be the ‘new’ immigrants. So keep your antennas up and eyes wide open. If you see or hear something suspicious call the good folks of law enforcement near you. May The Almighty Our Creator Blanket You/Protect You!!!!!
