My American heroes for this summer are the valiant men and women who work day and night to save American lives and homes. Of course I’m completely biased because those same heroes saved my home about one month ago. I also congratulate our Sheriff’s department and the National Guard members who came in on a moment’s notice to maintain the peace in an extremely desperate situation. I am convinced that without their help, our entire county would have burned.
But, until you’ve been evacuated you really don’t get it!
And then we have the true anti-hero of this summer: President Trump.
What is an anti-hero?
According to Wikipedia: “An antihero is one who lacks conventional heroic qualities such as idealism, courage, and morality. Although antiheroes may sometimes do the right thing, it is not always for the right reasons. They primarily act out of pure self-interest.”
The yin and yang of humanity. Those who will run towards an emergency and save those affected at risk of their own lives. And those who couldn’t give a (bleep) that the emergency is in progress, and goes off to play and dine. But what really gets me in the gut are those who cheer on the latter and will take health care or other benefits from the former.

Keep your eyes on those heroes. I know it doesn’t help much in this situation.
But it does help.
