THE Truth is WE have a Democrat Party & OUR Commonwealth are lost with stewards who are LOST at the helm of our government. An arrowroot Republican told me the other day, “stop complaining” when I’m sure most readers know that I’m merely offering solutions and pointing out the truth & facts. I don’t get mad, as I’m just very “DISAPPOINTED with the Governor, the House & the Senate” like many if not MOST of the People. Since my arrival I have witnessed the CNMI go from being on the verge of finding prosperity to the decline in being more like a “third-world country,” which is truly disappointing for everyone who witnessed OUR decline with me. This is why sooo many have given up hope on even voting and why the mainland migration of Locals continues at an alarming rate. The Ghost Town effect that hit Garapan is now spreading even more rapidly creating holes in OUR Social Fabric & the Business sector with hotels & businesses continuing to close. The CNMI is on the verge of “collapsing and/or falling off a cliff” especially if the Feds do NOT step in, as WE are stuck in this economic quagmire with leaders (Dems & GOP) full of political malarky but no real plans.
I’m sure my continued activism FOR the People to have an Economic Recovery Plan has helped to spark the need for OUR Commonwealth to counter my activism FOR the People given I’m the only one publicly calling for the obvious plan that is needed. Yes, the Governor is finally going to give us a “State of the Commonwealth Address” at the end of this month, however, I’m sure that I’m not the only one who knows it will be “a Deflecting & Gaslighting Show” with nothing tangible to give the People any HOPE for things to change for the BETTER! I would be shocked if Arnold has come up with a genuine economic plan that is worth the paper & ink, as he has never been a “Good Steward” just a politician.
I just learned that the Democrat Party has chosen to remove me from the group on Whatsapp thinking they would silence me when I’m sure most readers even know that only forced me to do what I’m doing now — talking to them in the public newspaper when it could have been contained within the Party and only on the group chat. Now I must say in public what I would have said in private. But this is the backwards vindictive thinking of those who would rather try to delete & silence me than have a simple constructive conversation with me like an adult — pathetic stewardship. WE are supposed to “LOVE one another” but this is the perfect example of “God’s degree for Love on Sunday but they act like the devil on Monday,” as vengeance belongs to God! Didn’t they know they were FORCING me to write about their vindictive behavior not out of anger but out of genuine disappointment in adults who think they can hurt me. I have nothing to lose and I’m the ONLY Democrat with an on-going Public Forum. A forum that I wanted to use to try and HELP the Democrats. But they seem to think they don’t need my help when they can use ALL the help they can get given the multiple & continuing failures to get a Democrat elected Governor. I’m tired of seeing the People lose because “the People’s Party” has poor and even BAD stewards at the helm who can only invoke their vengeance with bad stewards, no policies nor plans to make the CNMI a BETTER place to live & work.
FYI readers, except for the favoritism given to a handful of Dems who will be OUT in 2026, virtually EVERY appointed position in the CNMI’s government is occupied by a Republican, which proves the old adage that “power corrupts, and absolute power ABSOLUTELY Corrupts.” WE have a Commonwealth that is Lost to Republican “poli-tricks & subterfuge” that has given us what WE have today after two decades, only new roads but TAYA FOR the People and getting WORSE daily for TRUE! FYI Democrats, WE are facing a real DRAGON with TWO Heads in the next election as usual and the good objective minded people know that Black-balling Ambrose from the group only serves to PROVE their poor acceptance and the type of vindictiveness within the Party when it comes to members. But they won’t lift a finger to really FIGHT against Republican subterfuge FOR the People even when the Republicans sabotage the Democrats election efforts — pathetic!
The Dems are going to HATE they Black-Balled a person who was a Democrat before many of them were even born, as there is real POWER in the TRUTH and I can’t wait to see WHO & WHAT if any response the Democrats will have to Arnold’s SOCA, as it is expected for the opposition Party to offer a counter perspective FOR the People or will it be silence. I remained silent and supported the Party when I TOLD THEM there were Republican Operatives in the Party, I remained silent KNOWING we would lose and even supported the Party when they chose a former Republican Governor to run under the Democrat banner. But I’m through being silent and now the Party doesn’t want to even deal with the “constructive criticism” that I have offered because I’m sick & tired of seeing the Party LOOSE, as the People deserve & need BETTER stewardship who are WINNERS! Unlike children who usually rise to the occasion when the bar is raised, our adult leaders (Dems & GOP) in government have chosen to try and totally ignore the bar of expectations that I keep raising FOR a BETTER CNMI but bigotry, vindictiveness, playing ignorant and being silent is NOT a plan for a BETTER CNMI.
One People One Direction.
