Trump and Musk

 Seems like a lot of things are converging on November 8, 2022, when the midterm elections will reveal the balance of power in the United States Federal Government.

Democrats sensing a loss of control in the House of Representatives are rushing to disparage Donald Trump using their arguments that he controlled the breach of the Capitol two years ago.  On November 8, the Republicans will change the focus from Trump to the orchestration of Pelosi regarding this event.

At the same time, Twitter will be opened up allowing the freedom of alternative viewpoints to be expressed.  Expect a major assault to be waged on Elon Musk for taking over this company and having the audacity to promote a free expression of ideas rather than repetition of an ideological narrative.

Is it coincidence that the people that the American Left fears most are wealthy business men who cannot be influenced by bribes?  

Trump and Musk are beholden to no one.   They can't be bought and are oblivious to the reptiles in the Federal Swamp.  The clock is ticking on the time that Dems can have full swing in stifling these men.  After November 8, it will be much more difficult as Dems start to see arrows aimed in their own direction.

Freedom of Speech

 So this morning, the MOAM woke with an urge to expound on the issue of Free Speech. Elon Musk deciding to purchase Twitter causing spasms at the authoritarian social media company is undoubtedly my inspiration. Ever since my journalism professor, Dr. Jerome Musgrave, at UMASS laid out how free speech was supposed to work…. I have been an ardent supporter.

Our founding fathers at the birth of America saw how stifling free speech was the tool of an oppressive tyrannical government.…. And thus they codified our right to free speech under the purview of our inalienable rights.

The cost of this freedom is tolerance. We have to tolerate statements that we know are false…. And counter with statements of truth. Then we have to have faith that the truth is exposed from this give and take. That is how freedom of speech works…. It is cumbersome and frustrating…. But ultimately it is our God given right embodied in American law.

Google recently informed the MOAM that it will tolerate no criticism of Ukraine in my blog….. so I can’t call to question an examination of Biden’s pipeline of fund???? We have to be free to have a conversation on any issue. It is our right of free speech.

A Complex Match

 So the pros at Nanepashemet took on the task of replicating a complex five piece ceiling molding assembly.  This ceiling pattern was installed throughout the downstairs of this high end Marblehead home.

The challenges were matching  a back layer with bead molding, which we accomplished by routing the back pieces of 1/2" MDF panels.  We installed a layer of crown and a layer of shoe molding over these MDF pieces.  Coated it all with coats of primer and two coats of premium Benjamin Moore White Dove Semi-Gloss.

We pretty much nailed it, and the  customer is very pleased.
