A few words in response to Kelly Scoles’s letter:
If you would have used the word “fecal” instead of “feculent”, valuable time could have been saved researching. I believe I
have never had the opportunity to use that form for the word “fecal.” Anyway, I see this word has to do with dirt and waste
matter: foul with impurities: fecal. The English word "feculent" derives from the Latin word faeculentus. In English,
"feculents" also translates to “starchy foods or starches” “Féculent is an adjective for starchy [adjective] like or
containing starch cake, biscuits, and other starchy foods.” (Merriam-Webster) I guess appropriate usage here depends upon
which way the wind is blowing. Between Trump and Musk, it’s an ill wind, deserving of your malodorous interpretation.
So, Musk was said to be a “big time drug user" and the “biggest feculent voice in Trump II.” Well, my wandering research
diverted me all the way back to Chaucer, who enjoyed a few spicy words himself, putting you in very exalted company.
Anyway, from the beginning I had questions about Musk, if simply because he’s the richest man in the world. From the
world’s point of view that makes him a demigod, a minor deity, which atheists and those who reject the reality of eternity
will worship. However, those Judeo-Christian’s who believe in the four last things (death, judgement, Heaven and Hell) must
question his spiritual beliefs, if he has some. Whether a genius (like Musk) or a downtrodden halfwit, the law applies to
every unique, eternal soul. Those who disagree with my last statement should begin a dialogue with believers, instead of
starting a riot.
Before placing Musk in a position of such extraordinary power Trump should have known of Musk’s temperament and moral
reputation. It appears that the vice of instability dominates the virtue of trustworthiness in his character. Trump’s
judgement is swayed too easily by personality.

Kelly, you condemn Trump “for creating a chaotic spectacle of a ‘city out of control”. Trump “created” the chaos? We are
now entering the fifth day of growing riots. Did you think of LA as a benevolent sanctuary city, where the bulldogs all
have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs (like the Big Rock Candy Mountain)? The truth is that LA is a liberally
governed sanctuary city where crime is protected under the guise of civil rights. Rape, murder, drug and human trafficking
is headquartered there, and its cartel leaders are all billionaires. And you say Trump “created” this chaos? It’s more
truthful to admit the Democrat Party is to blame.
How well did the delay of police and military crowd-control work out for us during the BLM and Capitol riots? Rioters
demand to be exempt from police power, even if that power alone keeps normal citizens safe from violence. The City of LA is
indeed “a city out of control”, by choice.
“Something like 40 police units have already been destroyed” – and you will pay for replacing them with your tax dollars.
The rioters (instigators) are mostly paid professionals. We need to know who the paymasters are and punish them with long
prison sentences. With hundreds of thousands of terrorists having infiltrated with that ocean of 21 million illegal aliens
that flooded the border during Biden’s four-year betrayal, we need many more federal and state police officers for
protection, because we are beginning to hear from those terrorists now!
Kelly, unbelievably, you say “The arrest count, as of Monday morning, was 56 people, not good, but by no means a
“rebellion.” We’re going into day 5 – The Capitol “riot” lasted 4-hours, and you called it an insurrection!! Also, only
one person was killed at the Capitol – by a negligent Capitol police officer, with a questionable record for safety! That
is the official record.
Kelly, you have launched far too many inaccuracies and misrepresentations for me to respond to them all. We must continue
to agree to disagree until the approaching emergencies which seek us out descend in full force – soon. Then we will all
know the truth. We might even anticipate a blackout of great consequence.
Be well.
