It wasn’t until 1983-84 when I took a bicycle trip around the world where I touched down on four continents.  That adventurous journey to see overpopulation firsthand knocked me upside the head.  China just about hit 1.0 billion along with India. I witnessed people stacked up on people beyond anyone’s comprehension in Europe,Canada and America.  Who could imagine expressways with 50 lanes in one direction, which is their reality in 2025?

You need to speak up, write up, and stand up for your country. Cut, paste, and send this letter into your senators and House member. Thank you to Merlin for the bulk of this column. We either take action for preservation of our country…or consequences will visit us in greater tragedies, endless crime, homelessness, lack of American representation, schools trashed, growing loss of pride in America, and ultimately, an unsustainable civilization.

This entire situation with the MS-13 illegal alien Kilmer Abrega Garcia stuns any rational, reasonable, and common sense American citizen. He violated our borders. He beat his wife numerous times. She took out restraining orders against him. He trafficked other illegals without a license. Two judges deemed him an MS-13 gang member. He is not a citizen. He has no rights to 'due process’ under our Constitution. He belongs in prison in El Salvador.

Today, we see guys pretending to be girls. They’re giving psychologists headaches trying to figure out what kind of mental illness to categorize them. We’ve got “gays” parading around like crazy people wearing absurd outfits and performing sickening acts of decadence. Morality, children, ethics and rational behavior be damned! Anyone want them in uniform defending our country?

Over 20 years ago in 2003, Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm gave a speech in Washington, DC on how to destroy America.  He titled the speech, “The Eight Ways to Destroy America.”  I sat in the crowd, dumbfounded at his brilliant/sobering points on how to take down our country.  At the end, no one applauded because they were pretty stunned

Instead of raging against all the bad news in April of 2025, how about each of us contemplating our own struggles while living in America, especially us baby boomers. We’ve lived through some pretty amazing moments since WWII. I don’t have to name them because you all know them from living through them.

Have you looked out across the American political landscape for the past three months? If you remember, President Trump won the popular vote, the electoral vote, the Senate and House. Such victories gave him a mandate to correct multiple problems with America’s finances, political standing and resurgence in the world.

Let’s face it, today we KNOW that the Deep State bureaucracy in Washington DC has been lying, cheating, screwing and stealing American taxpayers blind. Over the past 50 years, you have been paying into the U.S. AID slush fund for the benefit of every rat, scoundrel and politician in that Swamp called our U.S. Congress.

Growing up on a farm in LeRoy, Michigan, population 500 farmers, I got close to the Earth.  I helped my parents plant a quarter-acre  garden every spring.  Nothing like getting your hands dirty in the dark riches of organic soil!

Dozens of emails poured into my computer after the publication of “Irony, Pain, and Hope for Earth Day 2024.” (March 22, 2024)  Some quite negative! Some gave up years ago.  Some felt distressed over the 1.0 million vertebrate creatures killed on America’s highways every single day of the year.

In the final equation, what does Earth Day mean? It means YOU must be the “change agent” in your community, your state and your country. You must elect those who will act. If they won’t act, you may run for office. When it comes to a free society, it’s up to “we the people” to make change toward a viable future.

Dear fellow American, we need a responsible Congress, head of DHS and president to serve our interests. NOT 10 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS. We need to vote for the next president to deport every last illegal alien and every Muslim who chants, ""Death to America." We don't need them bringing their barbaric religion, their barbaric savagery like 9/11, or any of their 6th century barbaric rituals.

What can you do for yourself and your kids? Answer: Educate yourself. There are plenty of YouTube seminars on healthy eating. Shop only "Organic" foods. Avoid just about everything in a package, glass, or can. Everything in packages, glass and cans have additives, unless it really tells you that it's a healthy food. Check the labels.

When he imports another 10 million illegal aliens including hundreds of thousands of Muslims, Chinese and Africans with chain-migration along with “asylum seekers”, we won’t know who we are or what the hell to do to save ourselves. Biden’s handlers are effectively destroying our culture, our language, our identity and our way of life.

Today, you’re seeing California’s ugly situation of being unable to function as a first world state. It features 200,000 homeless, shoplifting killing major stores and chains, regular murders on a grand scale, welfare off the charts for illegal aliens, hospitals and prisons overrun, and the Mexican flag flown more than Old Glory.

It’s known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 allows for the - "suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the president, whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States."

Now, we’re seeing our changing climate burn-up our summers. We’re seeing it in 100,000-to-200,000-acre wildfires. We’re seeing it scorch our landscape. We’re seeing it in 100 species a day suffering extinction, worldwide. We’ll see more of it as our electrical grids overload their capacity.
