This morning, in the laundry room, I found a quarter staring up at me on top of my washing machine. I stood it upright and took a pic ... loving the synchronicity. Was George Washington trying to speak to me?

This coin was minted in 2022 - so why does the pic say 2044?

On Presidents Day I wonder what George Washington would have written in his journal about the manner in which the American Experiment turned out in this timeline. Would it go something like this?

The American Experiment created new avenues to define democracy in the centuries that would follow its inception. As I gaze upon the results in the year 2024, I have to wonder if the experiment has reached its threshold. The levels of adversity that exist can only lead to the destruction of democracy as once I hoped it would grow through time. Can the madness of one man, one president, circumvent centuries of progress or is it all part of some grand design?

In his farewell address, Washington spoke of several avenues of tyranny, including selfish ambition (with pretended patriotism,) collusion of powers, usurpation and precedence of usurpation, debt, foreign influence, and rank party politics.

As for collusion of powers, he warned, "The habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism."

On usurpation, "If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield."

House Republicans were shocked by some of the recent high-profile retirements announced by their colleagues, which have included powerful committee chairs and rising stars inside the GOP

The journey of a president - in any country throughout history - comes with the trials and tribulations of trying to get things done be they personal or for the people. Though it has perks on many levels, it is not an easy job as most of you know. I have always believed there should be an age limit of 70 years old when someone can no longer run for office. I also believe Supreme Court justices should serve no more than six years. Change is what makes things happen - sometimes for the better - other times for the worse - but always part of the equation of our reality - even if recycled.

Today we should not be thinking about recycling Presidents Trump nor Biden and yet we find them to be the top two choices of their political parties - which makes no sense to anybody - thereby allowing us to further understand that something else is at play calling the shots - and if well researched is that we exist in the pre-programmed simulation which at this point is taking us down the road to chaos.

My birthday (2/17) is sandwiched between Abraham Lincoln (2/11) and George Washington (2/22). Friday I returned from a birthday lunch with a friend - anxious to hear about the verdict in Trump's civil fraud trial here in New York. It's not just one of many trials Trump faces at this time - but the trial which determines the destiny of his empire and reputation. There on my TV was the best present I could have received. Judge orders Trump to pay nearly $355 million in civil fraud trial and cannot operate business in New York for three years.

Since this is Presidents Day Weekend - here's a bit of history linking my pics and location with the American Revolution. On July 4, 1776, a small American battery on the site of today's Fort Hamilton fired into one of the British men-of-war convoying troops to suppress the American Revolution. HMS Asia suffered damage and casualties, but opposition to the immense fleet could be little more than symbolic. However, this very significant event marked one of the earliest uses of the site for military purposes.

The American Revolution takes us to the adventures of George Washington and the Freemasons - following the architectural blueprint of the Masonic Program (our reality) - his visions and prophecies, alien experiences, and more as it's all connected.

Sunday ... As we move from Aquarius into Pisces - I feel very blessed to have reached 81 without issues. I have always been told that there is something unique about my destiny no matter what it is and where it takes me ... as on I go to that end ...
