I’m not really into politics.
I mean some of my friends are and I respect that. I like doing stuff like debating for better causes, fighting for my claim, I mean I am more of a get it done and make it happen kinda girl. But when it comes to the branches of government and legislation’s and a bunch of other truckloads of things I don’t understand, are put together into one thing my brain just oozes and wants to explode. I mean I understand what I need to understand but its just so
C O N F U S L I N G
(Yeah I made up that word.)
It can either be a thorn to your side or your best friend. Or you just really don’t care. Politics is the driving force for a lot of countries besides the people themselves. It is an important part of the places we live in and how society is run or is being run. The earliest politicians( people from the 17 and 1800s )such as the senators of each state or the treasury or Secretary of State.
Recently I read this book by James Comey, now I assume that you may or may not have been acquainted with this name and the title this man holds. He was he former FBI director before he was fired by Mr. Trump and told to resign as of May 2017. He was the 7th director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation since 2013 since 2013. However, before he was appointed FBI director, he was the U.S. deputy attorney general with the authority of President George W. Bush
My dad seems to have a lot of respect for him and I wanted to learn more about this man who seemed to be on a lot of news lately. One night my dad had gone to Costco to purchase our groceries and stuff. Now Costco isn’t only about food I mean it sells furniture and other stuff too but anytime I go I am always attracted like a fly towards a lamplight when I see that long barricade with stacks with piles of books. Call me spoiled if you want but it seems that every time I go, nowadays I always leave with some book in my hands. I wasn’t surprised when my dad walked into the door that night, back from Costco with a book in hand. I am so grateful for my parents because they have to deal with my ridiculous obsession with books and if scientists ever did a testing on me to see how irrationally annoying I can be, I bet the results would go off the charts.
Anyway I thanked my dad and stared at the deep navy blue color of the soft book jacket. The words A Higher Loyalty written boldly in silver embellishments. I appreciated the simplicity of the cover but its ability to still stay informative in its title. Literally.
Before I continue on I would like to say somethings:
- The things I say about what is going on in the country currently, is not my entire opinion
- I am not on anybodies side when it comes to politics
- I simply read the book to my own content
That night after dinner I sat on my bed, the fan turned on fluttering the crisp pages. I read on and on for at least a day or two, giving my dad insight on what I had read so far. James Comeys story is a whirlwind of morales, clean transitions from each situation described, at the same time the book slowly conversing into a kind of sad, dampening realization that this countries government is slowly turning into a democracy where loyalty is demanded, truth isn’t believed, and dishonesty is a norm of a twisted sort.
Quite distressing is it not?
The book starts out with an authors note and an intro, both in which I found interesting and wonderful pieces of self thought, of life around us. But what really was intriguing was the first line of the first chapter in the book:
“THE LIFE BEGINS with a lie.”
What an interesting way to start a book was it not? What did he mean by that? Were our lives defined by the lies of others? Is loyalty a mythical thing of the past? Why had he emphasized the first three words, leaving the other three de-emphasized? Was that to create a simple statement? To have a recreational purpose for the book and its furthermore contents? These questions still pick at the edges of my brain and I have put more thought into this more than most of the things that sticked out to me in the book.
The book starts with his years of when he was the U.S. Deputy General at the time of President George W. Bush. He describes the different scandals and situations he had to bring justice to. But what I found most interesting in his writings, were the ways he maneuvered the way he described the people he worked with, including the three different presidents mentioned in the book in each order and his colleagues. He describes the way they made him feel and how comfortable he felt around them. All this his mental thoughts at the time.
If you read carefully, with each transition of presidents it shows the same line of what he is describing, such as height, their stature, their attitude and logic, work ethic, and how comfortable he felt around them. But what I found super duper hilarious was this:
“Trump’s face appeared slightly orange, with bright half-moons under his eyes where I assumed he place small tanning goggles, and impressively coiffed, bright blond hair, which upon close inspection looked to be all his.’’

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *snort* *gasp* HAHA *wheeze* HE ACTUALLY CALLED THE PRESIDENT O R A N G E
ORANGE
Oh dear gods why.
I don’t think I can describe everything he wrote in the book but one thing I do want to say is that this book is one of few books by high staturized adults THAT I ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD OH MY GOODNESS YES! I respect him even more, souley because I was able to understand almost everything he was talking about in the book. I’m sorry I couldn’t write more about this book but the thing is there is so much to describe and its O V E R W H E L M I N G.
See kids I can be
E D G Y
WHOO
No, no I am not actually, forget I said that. Sowwy that was weird.
Hehe okie. MOVING ON. I really hope you guys have the opportunity to read this book because I think it has so many morales that you just need to have in your life but he makes those morales hidden. You have to find the meaning of the whole book before finding out the lesson he is trying to teach.
Welp. Thats uh, all I got for you guys today. I hope you enjoyed and so yeah. Bye!
