Go Teram

        I have two degrees from the University of Iowa and have lived in Iowa City three times, so I am an Iowa Hawkeye fan.  I love collage football, watch the games, and cheer for my team.  I praise their wins, mourn their losses, and wear sports apparel showing support for my team.  Going to a home game is a lot of fun.  The tailgating outside Kinnick Stadium is a great experience.   

        It is fun to support a favorite team that provides great entertainment.  A good season is exciting, and if they have a bad season, there is always next year.   

        The student athletes are encouraged to be team players, which is good training for a career later in life.  This is great as long as the coaches or fans don’t do anything that violates the rules.  If that happens every member of the team needs to speak up. 

        Team building is also big in business.  Management promotes the team concept, and managers are sometimes called team leaders.  Same job, different title.  Being a team player is great and does not mean being a yes person all the time.  But, if the boss does something illegal, everyone must speak up and not ignore the problem.  Being a good team member means doing what is right for the team, and not covering for the boss.

        The same is true in government.  If the heads of any government agency do things that are illegal and unethical for any reason, everyone in that agency has an obligation to speak up and expose the infraction.  In the military, everyone must follow orders, but no one should ever comply with an illegal order.

        I understand that whistleblowers are afraid of losing their jobs, but everyone has a moral obligation not to allow corruption in government.  Being a team player does not mean covering up or being part of a crime.  There are no excuses. 

        There is obvious corruption for political reasons within the top management of several government agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice.  They cannot investigate themselves and top management refuses to cooperate with Congress. 

        Most people working in these agencies are hardworking honest people, but they need to come forward to expose the corruption or the public will never trust the FBI and DOJ again.  Being a team player means doing the right thing for the country and not covering for corrupt bosses.  We must be a country of law and order.

        I understand that the deep state and political elite don’t want to give up their control.  They have demanded and rewarded a corrupt team.   We must drain the swamp.

God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
