Mueller Speech

There Can be No Compromise
-Jenny Hays

America is known as a land of not only great achievers, but a democracy that prides itself on doing the right thing in times of tribulation, standing up for those who cannot defend themselves, leading the world through calamitous times.

However, the very things that we cherish the most are being threatened. How we will react to these challenges will define not only our laws and procedures, but will define us as citizens. Will we stay home on polling day, denying ourselves of the chance to announce to the nation our core values? Will we stay silent when our representatives, those who serve as our voice, spout intolerant and undignified views? Will we elect those who show the world that we can still be a powerful leader and force against evil?

Robert Mueller is a Republican who was elected as Special Counsel into investigating possible obstruction and collusion, corruption, in our very highest levels of government. Most leaders trusted him to be fair and impartial. Democrats and Republicans alike have relied on him to help guide our nation away from potential corruption that has the capacity to change the very fabric of our country.

However, as arrest warrants began to be issued and the probe began to reach into the deepest areas of the administration that were deemed to be untouchable, questions about Mr. Mueller’s efficacy and bias began to surface by those who believed that there could not possibly be any collusion. Rumors began to surface, suggesting that the President was searching for ways to dismiss Mr. Mueller, either directly or indirectly.

There are times in our lives where there can be no compromise. There are times when we cannot yield, because the consequences of a mutual understanding are far too great. There can be no middle ground, because doing so would be too great of a loss to the very ideals that make us who we are as a nation, and as citizens. We must recognize that any threat to the Special Counsel Investigation is a threat to not only our nation, but who we are as citizens and what we are willing to accept.  We cannot offer any compromise. We cannot offer any middle ground of our core values and beliefs. It is imperative that we see beyond the cast suspicions by those who are resistant to uncovering the full truth and who may have much as stake. We need to show the world that we are not a nation of obstructionists with corrupt leaders who do not always play by our own rules, but that we are true to our common core values and beliefs.

Throughout our country’s history, many have been asked to defend the tenants of our nation. Some have gone to war, others have run for office, many have waited in long lines at polling booths, or volunteered for their affiliated party. Now is our time to make a statement to the world that we will support the Special Counsel Investigation, free from rumor, threats, or pressure, so that we can know and understand the full truth. This will be our unyielding moment, the one with which there can be no compromise.

Polite and Impolite

POLITE is the shy, middle child who sits at the awkward extra chair at the dining table, timidly accepting leftovers, with a gracious smile on her face, after everyone has had their fill. She defers to others and places their needs ahead of her own at all times, and because she does not know when it is the right time to yield, so she does it all the time. Her bitch of a sister, IMPOLITE, also sits at the same table. She is never hateful, rude, or disrespectful, but knows when it is her turn. She does not defer, but yields when it is the kind thing to do. She sits on the comfy chair, at the center of the dining table, and if you try to take her turkey leg, she will destroy you.

The Process

“The Process” -by Jenny Hays From the time I was five years old, I have been a goal-oriented person. I have kept detailed notes and journals on my latest desires. When I was young, I wished to become an Olympic rider, later, to lose 25 pounds. I aspired to buy a new home, a horse, pay off debt, find a new career, start an exciting new business, or become a freelance writer. With each new goal came a laser-focus and intensity. Sometimes I achieved success and other times I did not. However, the goal was always the outcome. As my ambitions became more challenging, and reaching them began to feel more daunting, I began to read self-help books and articles. I learned that my ambitions were merely dreams without an action-based plan. I put verbs into my sentences and got busy. I put a poster above my work station that said, “Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you will still land among the stars.” I created a visual poster, so I could gaze doggedly at my aspirations
