A TOSS SALAD OF THOUGHTS!

Well, look at Keene New Hampshire. A new restaurant had to change it's opening sign as it offended  W H O ? ? ? ? This is a French/Vietnamese restaurant, and evidently the language on the opening announcement sign had a similar sound to a oft-used English curse-word. Now keep in mind that most Black folks and White folks use this word on a regular basis on public TV, and it always gets a laugh. Why, just recently a newly elected Democratic woman described our President as a M-F. I have not heard objections to the language used in our sacred Legislative Hall nor on TV!
The restaurant in Keene had to take their sign down. Maybe we should remove any Representative using offensive language.
Now, who decides what is offensive?
Whoopie and her peers constantly use language I would not have young children listening to, and her audience doesn't seem to mind!

How much longer are we going to cower before these people?
                                                                                              I see that the little children on the other side of the aisle want a time and space to respond to the President's 1/9 speech tonight. What kind of immaturity are we looking at?                     
This habit of responding, especially for the State of the Union speech, is in my opinion a most childish and dividing event. Each time I hear this I cringe. They are like spoiled brats that scream for everything somebody else has.
How do you stop an enemy that knows only lies and hypocrisy, without being as immature as they? I hate to use the word 'enemy'. We basically are not enemies, but our Media has put us in that position. Their lying is abominable, and their erroneous headlines are the most laughable I have seen. These people are not true professional Journalists. They fit in the over-crowded category of the very mentally disabled Liberals now taking seats in our Legislative Department for the new term, and those already ensconced in theirs.

I certainly enjoyed "HANNITy" last night. It is about time someone retorted so truthfully to Heraldo Rivera. Sometimes I am embarrassed to even think that he is from Long Island (West Babylon I presume).
I remember his reporting back in the day, on an institution I believe was named Willowbrook. He headlined the treatment of the residents. Well, the place finally shut down. It has been a long time since that episode, and honestly I do not remember the particulars; but I have heard comments that Heraldo used the situation to further his career. Not a nice thing to repeat, but hey, most anything in the news today is questionable, so feel free to raise your eyebrows about that.
I was always under the impression that Heraldo was a fence-walker. He jumped on whatever side was popular.
Heraldo, I am sorry if I discredit you. Nothing personal is intended.
According to the standards of todays' Journalism, I would assume that anything goes. It is difficult to break into the Writing/Journalism field today, and still maintain some credible behavior.
I was on the road a few days previous, and stopped in a Dunkin Donut Shop. I asked for my purchase to be put into a bag. The young woman (approx. 25 yrs. of age.) said she could not put my items in the bag, but she could give me a bag to do it myself!!!!!!!!! She muttered something about insurance, and who would be at fault if the bag ripped. Following that she went into a tirade about the things that are required of them (the vendor help). I totally agree with her. And I was happy to see her get angry about it.
Do these people today (Liberals et. al), making and enacting some of the absolutely ridiculous laws, have any idea what they are doing to our Nation? They must be told, in no uncertain terms, that the World is not perfect; and in no way will they be able to make it so. Especially since they themselves are not even close to normal.

                         IS PELOSI SEEING THE LIGHT??

I always try to give credit where credit is due. And now, I must agree with Nancy Pelosi.
In a recent forum she is quoted as saying " ... Yes, Black lives matter ... ";  .................. " ... all lives matter ... ". And yet it appears the Left is not happy about the latter!
Why do Black communities and their leaders express such outright singularity; I believe this is a very selfish attitude. They seem to be demanding "special treatment". They do not deserve it. No one Race does. No one Religion does. No one individual does.
And I also believe that no one should expect reparations, apologies, or other forms of retaliation for previous treatment at the hands of America. Governments enter into Wars for their own reasons, and we should not put the blame on any one faction or person. " ..... No son should pay for the sins of his father ..... ".
In the United States of America, we live, work, pray, and fight together as family. Differences are put aside when necessary; praise is offered when earned, and discrimination is avoided at all times.
If you do not subscribe to these values, then you, my friend, came here for all the wrong reasons. The good life is guaranteed to no one. You must earn what you desire .
We are generous, but don't be demanding of us. We are compassionate, but don't attempt to use us. We love our Republic and we will fight to the death for it's continuity, as the original Revolutionists did.
Our Constitution is precious to us. Don't try to change it for selfish reasons. We only make amendments to preserve our rights, freedoms, and liberties as the majority of Society may request.
For the Immigrants coming to our shores, you must enter legally, concentrate on obeying our Laws, learning the language so we can all communicate in an intelligent manner, adopt our values and the life-long established work ethic, to improve one's life, and contribute to the values and prosperity of our Nation.
We have State's Rights to insure our values and freedoms, and Federal oversee for protection and guidance. We do not subscribe to Government intrusion into our lives, our personal values, or our Religious values. We wish to live according to our own accepted values as reflected in the Constitution and the Laws of our Nation.
When entering into our Country and gaining Citizenship, do not attempt to force upon us the life from which you fled. If that is what you want, then go back to it. We have our established and accepted way of life. In coming here you are the one who must integrate. You come here for the "better" life we already have, don't change it. Adopt it, subscribe to it, and make your own as we did over the years.
May God bless and guide you.

                           WE CANNOT GIVE UP 
Through my many years (83) observing moods, idiosyncrasies and habits of Human nature, I have developed the opinion that Liberals need much compassion and understanding. I am not a Professional by any means in this area. I have been a student of Human nature for as long as I can remember, and thoroughly enjoy this weird habit of mine. I have found it to be a most interesting read and enjoyable conversation piece.
That being said, I will expound on my thoughts. I believe that we should try to live by the three M’s. ~~ Yesterday is a Memory, Tomorrow is a Maybe, but today is Mine!  
Two of my Fathers many wisdom's stay with me: Live For Today, while Preparing for Tomorrow; and Be Observant of Your Surroundings.
Now, it is my opinion that our resident Liberals completely forget about yesterday. Dwelling on the past most possibly creates within them the immature notion that conveniently ignoring unpopular memories, can be a catalyst to assume they never happened. Thereby creating an allusion of hypocrisy to their observers.
Tomorrow, being a “Maybe”, scares the devil out of them. The unknown can be frightening to anyone. But to someone possessing the notion that everything must be in their control to insure the continuity of a good and peaceful life, and a satisfying one, must be quite frightening.
Today is all they concentrate on; their thoughts, their opinions, the NOW of life is the positive. This they can control. And so, behaving and reacting in a Sociopathic manner, they proceed to allay their fears by insisting, with a forceful tone, that the World listen to them. Their fear creates an atmosphere of urgency; much akin to a “… chicken-little …” warning!
This then, in my opinion, is the motivation for the Liberal hypocrisy, the lying, and the intense emotional behavior. What to do about the disruption they have caused in our Society? Perhaps a Professional can help us there. We have, I believe, tried everything and anything Humanly possible. But a rational solution obviously is not the answer.
I pray God to help and guide us in this Human experience. We need to have patience, compassion, and understanding. Most of all we must handle the days ahead with a quiet resolve to do what is right for Humanity. We can not take on an air of violence and anger. I feel placating and quiet talk may help; but we must do what is right for Society and the World, no matter the current cost.
We then, as a healed Society, in togetherness and unison, will deal with whatever consequences may come of the necessity to do what is right.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:  Clocks and calendars are gaining ground on me. Staying out of the Obit column becomes a continually greater challenge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

              THOUGHTS FOR THE END OF A VERY BUSY YEAR (2018)
 
  #Why do Vendors use many different languages in communication with the public? A great deal of paper is used for this; and that adds to expenses for vendors; and their profit is determined partially by their expenses; to increase the profit they must cover the expense, and they cover the expense by increasing the cost. (to you and I)!
  #Do you realize (I’m sure you do) that our Freedoms, Liberties, Rights, and the enactment of our Laws under the Constitution, are very much determined and controlled by the Political Parties; not by the individual Representatives we vote into office? We are no longer “by the people – for the people “!
  #Maxine Waters is vacationing in the Bahamas. Nancy Pelosi in Hawaii. Chuck Schumer is hiding. Wonder how the Democratic Government workers out of work feel about the Reps. they voted into office! Washington D.C., Virginia and Maryland are three heavily Democratic areas!
  #Perhaps, if we’re lucky, 2019 will be the year the “modern” Democrats (mostly Socialists) will see the light, and meld back in with the True Democrats of yesteryear. The Party of the people.
  #I hope to see Parents take a keen interest in what their children are being taught in School. Please go to the PTA meetings, and let your voice be heard. Renew the “reading – writing – ‘rithmetic” agenda, along with intense History. At the College level, research thoroughly the curriculum and agenda of the University when your child shows interest.
  #Children do not need professional grief counselors, “bully” protection, or Political indoctrination. Leave Parenting to the Parents. Let Family’s raise their young according to their own values and principles. It DOES NOT take a Village to raise a child. Just a caring, loving family.
  #My New Year hope is also to see the Professional Athletes stop the fighting on the field or Arena, and remember they are role models to many of our youth. That, I believe, is part of their responsibility to their fans, who support them so fervently, in all weather. And for the owners to stop pandering to their “money-makers”. They will perform for you without the blackmail at “contract time”; ……… and players, pick up the darn football and toss it to the Ref., instead of just letting it drop. (that action reminds me of the Politicians who remind each other; “ …. let them eat cake….”.
  #Party safely tonight 12/31/18; Remember your children need you; be sure you make it home to them. Have a safe New Years Eve. Bring along a “designated driver”. And resolve to be a better person in 2019.

TODAYS' THOUGHT:   Take care of Earth - - -  so far it's the only Planet
                          in the Universe with Chocolate (that we know of).


Questions and comments without answers!!?!!

Why do Democrats, like McCaskill and Doug Shoen, question the antics of newly elected Congresswoman from NY City, Ocasio-Cortez?
McCaskill questions her popularity, I question the intelligence of her supporters that elected her, and Shoen considers her  "... a near and present danger ..."!
Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi is acting like the " incoming President " in her promises and threats to the people and the Administration, while she takes this time when the Government is shut down to vacation in Hawaii (...."let them eat cake....")!!! Not to worry tho, her 'walled mansion' in Ca. is well protected.
And why does Chuck Schumer read with his head down? Doesn't he wear his glasses on the tip of his nose to read in an upright position? Maybe the water on his brain weighs it down. But honestly, I am getting bored with looking at the top of his bald head whenever he appears and speaks; can't the man ever look us in the eye when talking?
Now then, while I have these note-able public servants in mind, I think also of Maxine Waters, Representative of the people of the 43rd district of Los Angeles County, Ca. She also is well protected in her own mansion in the beautiful coastal State of California. I question her recent actions; in my opinion she is bordering on Treason, or perhaps, in itself, her demeanor could be explained by a deteriorating mental state.
At this point I cannot leave out Sen. Dianne Feinstein, long time California Politician. A native of San Francisco, former Supervisor and Mayor of San Francisco, before her election to the U.S. Senate, and she has been a notable and respected member of Government. However, her recent words and actions have affected a lowering in my respect for her. Perhaps it is time for her to step down. I found her actions related to the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh to be a black spot on her record.
Now, I recognize that all the above mentioned are Democrats; but I do not omit Paul Ryan, current, and about to be latter, Speaker of the House; who, in my opinion, is the ranking "RINO" (a term put upon Republicans whose Party loyalty has been put in question); his opposition to the President is nothing short of obstructionism. Never before have I witnessed a Speaker so blatantly against his President.
I mention here those that are prominent in my mind today. The Holiday season is one to enjoy life, enjoy each other, renew our faith, and accept the wonders of our Creator and the courage of our Founders. But I am saddened and angry toward many of the Politicians in our Government, both Local and National.
We must all be true to each other, our Nation, our Religion, and ourselves; let us pull together and fight against those who would destroy us.
We will have, in 2019, a separated Gov. with a Republican Presidential Administration and a Democratically led House. They must work TOGETHER.
We must constantly remind the members of the Government that they serve at our pleasure. Their Political Party agenda's must not accompany them into the hallowed chambers of government. Party affiliations MUST be put aside while there. We have put them there, we support them financially, and will continue to do so, until we realize they are not supportive of the American way, of our revered Constitution, and in particular, supportive of you and I, the American people!
Let us make 2019 the year America woke up! ! !
Have a happy and rewarding New Year.

     DEMOCRATS --- GOOD? EVIL? SICK? TREASONOUS?
 
Take your pick! One quite possibly could make a case for each definition of what once was the “Party of the People!”; and is now the very epitome of childish immaturity at least.
I find a vast amount of our representatives, on “both sides of the aisle”, or at least the ‘Anti-Trumpers’, to be irrational in their behavior. And Hillary Clinton had the audacity to call Republicans (or maybe just the Trump followers) as deplorable.
It is very sad to see our supposed leaders replacing patriotism and common sense with sheer politicism of their selfish and irresponsible personal agenda.
I am over 75, and unable to physically start a movement or even take part in one; and I hopefully wish that someone of a younger age would do so. I could and would support them with the written words of encouragement, and my prayers.
Our time has not passed, it is not too late to pick up the Flag and fight for our Republic.
The “good” will fight with us; the “sick” we must tend to and help; the “evil” and “treasonous” must be cast out.
On another perspective, I am angry as H____L that our Congress, a formal union assembled through vote of the people, and financially supported by the people, have the audacity to use the time we have given them to protect our Constitution and enact Laws to preserve our Nation, are finding it a time to embarrass our Country by fighting only for, and politicizing their own personal agenda. One can almost hear them saying “ ….the people be damned.…”!
I ask Sen. Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, Rep. Waters, Sen. Feinstein, et al, to research their own words during the Administration of President Obama, calling for Border protection and curbing of Illegal Immigration; try the years 2009 and 2011 for a start.
Can either of you tell me what has caused the change of mind?
Maybe I will take a stab at the answer:  you have become selfish Public Servants that have forgotten how you arrived at the wonderful life you now have. You have forgotten who put you in that position. All you can think of is that Donald Trump had the nerve to circumvent your plan to install Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office.
Your “poor loosing” attitude is not just a selfish one, but it does seem to me that you have been so deeply affected and mentally disrupted in your plans, you will do whatever it takes to discredit him. Your actions, your words, your entire demeanor at this time, is, to me, so intensely Sociopathic, that I am not sure if you all should be removed from office forthwith due to an inability to perform the responsibilities of your office.
Perhaps that would be something to look into. Maybe we should also look into the Justice Department and question the unaccountable actions they have taken, and the rude actions of directly avoiding the requests of Congress.
They must all be reminded they ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW!!!!!
President Trump, and his entire Administration, need the help of the American people. He cannot do this alone.
Be the first to step up, through your organization, your job, your family, your neighbors.
GOD BE WITH YOU!

                         BRING OUR KIDS HOME                    

CLEAN YOUR OWN YARD FIRST
You’ve heard similar words before: “clean up your own act first”! We have spent enough money and lives and time aiding these governments that have clearly no good intentions for their citizens. Human rights be damned while they amass more power and money for themselves. How much longer are we going to support these very evil people?
President Trump is right, ” bring our men and women home “. We have enough work to do right here in the greatest Nation on the Planet. Perhaps if we use tough love, maybe the folks will work themselves to rid their own Nations of these critters. Instead, we encourage them to come to our shores for the good life.
How many remember how we got the “good life”? How many of you have actually read and absorbed the History of this land we call home.              Many call for ‘open borders’; and yet we thoroughly vet those traveling from State to State, and even some leaving the country. Is there any logic to this?? Of course! They do this to stop any idiot from blowing up the plane or train! Well, what about the idiots sneaking across our border to blow us up as a Country. Or to take advantage of all our freebies. My answer to that, ” … let them clean up their own home first… “. Lock up their own criminals. Don’t send your drugs to our children!! And don’t sell your young girls across our border!                                                                                      Have Americans forgotten our Revolution was to get out from under Royal Rule; one King controlling everybody? How much blood spilled; how many lives lost; how much property destroyed??? All so you and I could have the very free life we have today! The freedom and rights to live the life we choose for ourselves.
Capitalism is not the greatest, but it is the best so far. Hard work is rewarded with a good life. Depending on the Government is akin to tending the fields and forests for the King.
Here in America, we now have the Liberal Socialists that are decrying everything our current Administration is doing. Well, stop and look. And look good. What our President and his staff are doing, is to weed out the bad and protect the good. Many laws and actions that have been inducted into our system, are decrying our Constitution. Many of which have been initiated and followed without you, the citizens, knowing about them. This is the way of the Liberal Socialists.
We know quite well why the Democratic Liberals are fighting for a wall. They want to let these people in, in droves, who will thereby support their agenda and keep them in their lucrative positions of power and authority. You must realize, of course, that we have also, in the Republican Party, those that support the Liberal Socialistic course.
So I repeat, ” bring our kids home”. Let them help us rid our land of the dictatorial Socialist agenda. They know better than you and I, what that spells for a Nation. They have seen the suffering and despair.
We tried to help those folks. But they depended too much on us to fight their battle. And now we need our kids here on their own soil, to add their voices and support to rid our precious land of those that would destroy us, to stop them from getting a free pass into our land. Time to vet the Immigrants, much the same as we do folks in the Airports, Train Stations, and other areas of transportation.
BRING OUR KIDS HOME TRUMP. And let the Democratic and Republican Liberal Socialists be damned!!

  TODAYS' THOUGHT:                                                                     The Media causes division! In sports, in politics, in everything they get involved with; Politics should not be a competition. America thrives on the concept of United States.                                                                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                                         
                         IS A REVOLUTION NECESSARY ?????

When, if ever, will the Patriotic American citizens finally put a stop to the Socialistic Liberalism that has infiltrated the Democratic Party? This Party, in the past, claimed to be the "party of the people". It has become the Party of the Politicians. The constant, blatant hypocrisy of the Party leaders has become a direct insult on all good Americans.
The attempts to change our Constitution through any means possible, is a direct and obvious challenge to our Democracy.
The nonsense put forth by the anti-American factions of the Democratic Party is nothing more than childish, immature, tantrum-inducing actions. And yet, we, the Democracy-loving Patriotic citizens, are ignoring their words and actions; allowing the dissenters to get away with all of the lies, and the attacks on our beloved Constitution. Don't assume that the good ole USA will find a way to counter this, without your individual help.
The past three years have been an ongoing wake-up call to all. Candidate Trump scared the devil out of the opposition during the campaign. He directly threatened their comfortable and satisfying way of life. They knew exactly what he was referring to with the words " ... drain the swamp ... "!            They were certain that enough had been done to ensure the win of Hillary Clinton. Well, obviously the Republicans did more to ensure she did not.
These latest actions by the "Swamp-Sisters", I am hoping is a final wake-up call to all who cherish the American way of life; who abide by the Constitution, and accept the rule of law that the United States of America stands on.
I refer specifically to the fight over funding of the Border wall and the ridiculous and embarrassing Immigration policies that have been fostered and used by the Democratic Party to bolster up their base of voters.
Let me also remind all about the criminal behavior of many in the Democratic Party; i.e. the blatant criminal actions of the Clinton Foundation. And now we suddenly see an attack on Trumps charity foundation. Didn't you know they all have similar manners to avoid certain taxes, and manipulate around the Finance laws?
And like a bunch of school kids yelling " .... he did it too ...." !!! Really!!!              I'm insulted and embarrassed again at this behavior in our Government.
We no longer have a Government for the people nor of the people. We have a group of swamp monsters all trying desperately to protect the muck and mire they operate within.
Businessmen and women must also use a certain amount of political acumen to operate successfully. But the difference we have within our Nation, is that the current President is putting America first. He does not need favors, he does not need political 'points'; he acts almost completely with the needs in mind of the people of the United States. Yes, he enjoys a pat on the back, and acclamation for the good he does. But so what? At least he is not using you or your savings to further his bank account. He is not a really likeable guy to many, but he is honest with the American people.
There are those that ridicule the Administration for so many resignations. If they truly understood the "business" mind of the President, they would realize that in business, you do your job or you get out. Politicians do not understand that. They work on a mutually beneficial scenario.
Well, it is time to put the brakes on. Time to protest, time to demand that the Congress stop taking so much time off; especially when important work hangs in the balance. When you work for the public, you must act with the public in mind.
Remember:  WE PUT YOU THERE ----- WE CAN VOTE YOU OUT! ! ! ! !

MY OPINION TODAY CONCERNING ***** OUR  RECENT & CURRENT 'FIRST LADIES' 

When looking back over the recent past, from Jan. 20, 1981 to today, Dec. 19, 2018; I am prompted to speak of the six First Ladies to serve in the White House.                                                                                        Four have exhibited dignity, eloquence and pride in their responsibilities in spite of the loss of privacy, and constant overseeing by the eyes of the press. I refer specifically to Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, and currently Melania Trump.

Nancy Reagan, cherished and admired by all as an accomplished actress, left the entertainment glitter and acclamation to be at her husbands side, and serve the Nation. As the wife of President Ronald Reagan during his two terms 1981 to 1989, Mrs. Reagan, who was born in New York City, was devoted to, and very protective of, her husband and his privacy. While serving the Nation as First Lady she dedicated her time to several programs enlightening our youth to the consequences of drug involvement and abuse.
Barbara Bush, serving with her husband George H.W. Bush, from 1989 to 1993, was yet another example of dignity and eloquence. Loved, respected, and admired by all, she put forth the epitome of Matriarchal beauty and confidence. Born in New York City, she dedicated her years in the White House to conquering illiteracy. She was also a strong advocacy of the concept of Faminly.
Laura Bush, Respected and admired by all for her quiet, unassuming dignity. As the wife of George W. Bush, and the daughter-in-law of Barbara and Pres. George H.W. Bush, she also exhibited a strong confidence of family. Serving with her Husband, President George W. Bush, she, as a previous Librarian, knew and enjoyed the pleasure of reading. During her eight years as First Lady she was a strong advocate of reading, and was eager to share her passion with the young of America.
Melania Trump,  Our current First Lady, serving with her husband President Donald J. Trump, has put the White House, and the place of the First Lady, back on the path of very high respect, unwavering dignity, and strong family values. Many compare her to Jackie Kennedy Onassis, wife of President John F. Kennedy. Her composure during the horrendous time of his assassination, through the unforgettable and heart-rending days of National Mourning, was a true lesson in dignity and self assurance for our Nation.

Now all that being said, I have just a few words that would encompass the two I have not yet mentioned; i.e. Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama. 
Hillary Clinton served as First Lady with her husband Pres. Bill Clinton. I have always felt that Pres. 'Bill' would have been a great man had he not aligned with her. She, in my opinion, is a very self-absorbed person. She had what I saw as a very strong influence on her husband, and was also able to take advantage of her position, and become a popular voice in the Democratic party. She continued to pursue her own goals even after her time as First Lady. She has gained many supporters, but few friends.
Michelle Obama was one of the most controversial women in this position. In my opinion. I question her background, and her education. I question also her class, her deserving of respect, and I am very much against her obvious use of the "race card", much the same as her husband, President Obama.
The Democratic Party realized it was time for a change; that America was ready for a person of color in the Oval Office. Being half white was a plus for Obama, and consequently he was in, and Michelle with him. This has proven, in my opinion, to be a mistake that has had a continuing effect on America.
It will take a long hard time for the United States of America to overcome this fallout.
But we are a strong people, and I have confidence.
