MORE OF THE SAME


In the words of President Ronald Reagan, “There you go again” seems to apply to the media, the democrats and the anti-America coalition.  We should all be used to the shiny object technique of fact deflection, but we don’t have to like it nor do we have to fall for it.

The shiny object this time is those nasty Russians, Vlad the rat, in particular. It’s easy to get the heads and attention to turn to an age old enemy, to get a misinformed society to believe the bad guy accomplished what couldn’t be accomplished.

In an attempt to delegitimize the valid President-elect, the anti-Trump group is giving Russia exactly what they aimed at. They are destabilizing the trust and belief that our election process has validity.  They are moving our society closer to an out and out physical division, using the ideological division that has been opened in recent years; a real physical confrontation being the goal of the Soros-backed “Move on” faction.  The use of partial truth to give credence to a lie has been an age old method of deception used for propaganda.

The shiny object used in this case, Russia, has moved our attention from fact toward mere supposition.  What is questionable is how effective were they.  Russian hackers did attempt to hack into the GOP and the Democrats. The media, in their effort to delegitimize PEOTUS Trump, has swung the national attention away from what is fact, using Russia as a deflection.  The facts they, and others are trying to deflect from, are HUGE.  It makes no difference what the intentions of the Russian hackers were, but the facts being deflected from do have value.

This shiny object is to direct us to the possibility that Hillary's loss in the election was due to the hackers abilities to sway the election in Trump's favor. If that were the fact, it is most likely also true that they were able to get top secret documents off Hillary’s private server.  I doubt the Democrats and Hillary supporters would accept that premise.

What really happened is that Hillary did have a private server with classified documents which were leaked to Wiki-leaks.  Democrat e-mails were leaked and made public. Those e-mails contained information that made both media and Democrats look bad.  Those e-mails were displayed in full and showed both sender and receiver.  Most importantly, they displayed factual information, not imaginative supposition and innuendo.  Those leaked, e-mails also gave factual proof of the collusion between certain media outlet representatives and the Hillary campaign.  The facts may have had something to do with adding to Hillary’s unfavorable status with the voters, the hackers not so much.
This battle is far from over and the war continues between ideologies and common sense.

Pray for our country, its leaders, its warriors and our children

God bless the USA

A DIFFERENCE IN REALITY


This election cycle has been filled with live examples of subject matter to be used in the psychology textbooks for eons to come.

Watching the recent interview of the current FLOTUS by Oprah it crossed my mind that we all perceive life through our own specific lens.  The question of “what color is the sky on your planet” somehow took on new relevance for me.  While watching the first lady pack-up her ideological baggage in front of the cameras it was clearly evident her reality and view of past events were different than what I had seen on my planet.  The interpretation of reality is clearly translated and viewed through the language of life influences.

We are feeling what not having hope feels like

What a telling response to Oprah's question regarding the Obama administration's success in accomplishing the “Hope and Change” of Mr. Obama's campaign rhetoric.  Her answer was a slam at the PEOTUS and referred to the mental anguish of the anti-Trumpers.  She was also describing why she felt her husband's tenure had offered the country hope for change.  She mistakenly assumed that a majority of our society felt the same things about our country as she had been taught to believe.  Sadly enough her husband our President for the last eight years saw our country through similar life lenses.

When Mrs. Obama looks at our country, through her own life lessons, she sees the country that has been involved in many atrocities and a country that needs to atone for its sins against minority groups.  She sees the country that the Rev. Wright condemned from his pulpit for the twenty some years she and Barrack attended.  She, in fact, sees a country that needs to correct its direction, a country that is racist in nature, and she sees most whites as being bigoted.  In her husband's slogan of hope and change, she knew the change he was thinking of, and the hope was the possibility that through the power of the presidency the would take place.  Her disdain for the current state of the nation has been very evident in many of her comments and actions.

I can well imagine how she views her hopes as being dashed and that all possibilities of the change are on the verge of being dismantled.  What I think she misses is the fact that another large portion of our population felt our hope for change was completely different than the change she and her husband envisioned.

The difference in what those changes were is a large part of the vote that moved away from Mr. Obama’s camp and the Democratic candidate.  A lot of saw our hope going out the window with a continuation of the change in direction that the Obama administration tried to force upon us.  Our country is so divided that a loss of hope will be experienced by close to half of our population regardless of which party is in control of our government.

My hope and my prayer is that our country will become more cohesive, and tolerant, and ready to unite behind goals that help each and every member of our country’s society.  For me Mr. Trumps “Make America Great Again” rings a bell of optimism and hope.

God Bless the USA

AS HERCULES SLEEPS


I can imagine Hercules the strongest man of Greek and Roman mythology.  He was hero of superhuman strength and courage who performed twelve immense tasks or “labors” imposed on him and who after death was ranked among the gods.  I wonder how mythology would have treated that myth had it been about a man equipped and able to perform but decided to take a nap instead.

That weird thought jumped into my mind as I watched thousands of Syrian inhabitants of Aleppo trying to escape the horrors of war that has seen some half a million of their countrymen killed.  I cannot help but think that the Hercules of countries, the U.S.A., slept through their responsibility to mankind.  Our nation’s leader, so called leader of the free world, has abdicated our responsibility.  His theme of leading from behind is not a rally call to achieve victory over those inflicting the plague of war.  The Obama doctrine has been to defer, defer, defer. 

Once the protector of lives, and societies our nation was forced into a slumber which allowed evil to inflict racial, and religious eradication upon entire groups of the populations.  We were once such a power in the world that no country would chance a confrontation.  We existed as a force of peace through power and our resolve not to let another holocaust occur. Much like the biggest kid in school we had the choice of being the schoolyard bully or the guy that protected the unpopular nerd.

I keep hearing our intelligentsia spouting the rhetoric supporting the Obama doctrine.  America has no stomach for war.  To my way of thinking, that is not entirely true.  We also do not have a desire to watch our sons, daughters, friends, die in a war that was never conducted with the intention of winning.  Containment is not a strategy that inhibits bad behavior.

 As our country brought WWII to a horrifying end with the use of the atomic bomb the world was dramatically aware of a change in world dynamics.  There was an entity capable of causing death on a large scale and no country wanted to test our resolve in its use.  There were a few that decided they could equal that power but to use it would be the cause for mutual destruction.  That prevented all from the utilization of the weapon.  That was the positive effect, there has also been a negative effect upon our own society.  We struggled with the mental images of the destruction and death caused by our dominance of weaponry.

We were no longer proud of the fact that we had ended the war of centuries, the end that actually saved millions of Japanese and American lives, we gradually replaced that pride with shame.  That shame has cost the United States and the world innumerable lives and countless wealth as we no longer fought to end the conflict but fought instead to maintain a moral standard.  This exercise has extended every conflict we have engaged in since that time.  The Viet Nam protests shouted the disdain and the revulsion of war as a means of stopping the advancement of Marxism even though most regarded Communism as a dangerous enemy.  The Communists on the other had used this abhorrence of war to enact a subtle but effective campaign, that of infiltrating those who entertain and those who teach our children.  This has proven more effective in changing our country and our society than any other method since our country’s birth.  Woe is to us if we continue to hide our heads in the sand.

This blight has produced the political climate which has caused the abdication of responsibility towards our fellow man.  Our use of the false belief of refusing to take a substantial active part we have a kinder gentler nature than the rest of the world.  Strutting about on our high horse, while millions are being killed and maimed is truly shameful.  This taking place because we failed to act to the best of our capabilities.  History if there is to be any future for us will see us not as leading mankind to a better world, but as traitors to mans existence.

We were as capable as Hercules, but we slept.

Pray for our country, the world, and love your neighbor.

God bless the USA

a TRINITY OF RESPECT


Today is the 7th of December, seventy-five years after the surprise attack on our country.  Pearl Harbor docked the U.S. naval fleet, the attack sank or damaged the entire fleet.  The American casualties of 2,008 naval personnel and another 710 wounded, 109 marines lost their lives and another 69 wounded.  The attack also killed 68 civilians and wounded 35.  All in all the attack killed 2,403 and wounded 1,178 non-combatants.  
The United States had to this point opted out of the war, but this surprise attack on our fleet and our country sucked us into the whirlpool of war.  WWII had begun with the awakening of the “sleeping giant”.
Today, December 7th, 2016 is one day of remembrance that caused me to think about our country’s history and how some of our country’s inhabitants have chosen to disrespect the positive aspects of our country’s history. 
In my religion, Christianity, the Blessed Trinity is revered as the Triune God, a God comprised of three persons within the being of one God.
I stopped to think about what these three national symbols of respect meant to me personally, and to a lot of our society.  It brought to my mind the similarity between these three and the Trinity of my religious beliefs. These three, the pledge, the anthem, and the flag are separate but comprise the one unified purpose.  The purpose of respecting the history of a nation which brings the rainbow of humanity into a place of unity and freedoms. 
THE TRINITY OF RESPECT:
  • The American flag, “OL” GlORY” was designed during the birth of our nation and has stayed as our national symbol.  The flag carries with it a silent statement of our journey through history, the joys, and the sorrows, the successes and the failures, the acts that bring us pride, and the warts of shame that have prompted change and improvement.  http://www.pbs.org/a-capitol-fourth/history/old-glory/ .  It’s an interesting note to history that respect and awe for our flag brought about the other components of respect of country.
  • After a British bombardment, amateur poet Francis Scott Key was so inspired by the sight of the American flag still flying over Baltimore's Fort McHenry that he wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" on Sept. 14, 1814. It officially became our national anthem in 1931. 
  • In 1892, the flag inspired James B. Upham and Francis Bellamy to write The Pledge of Allegiance. It was first published in a magazine called The Youth's Companion.
This trinity remained as an integral part of the glue that gave our national society the cohesiveness of unity. The unity that endured through numerous trials, errors, and successes these all worked together to make our nation The United States of America.  
Throughout our history people of all nationalities, colors and creeds have arrived at our shores and borders to join our citizenry, to partake of our possibilities and a chance to fulfill their dreams of a better life.  These people learned to speak our language, to respect our laws, and to respect each other as part of the same nation. A nation that the pledged allegiance to as they recited the Pledge of Allegiance. 
Today we see people burning and stomping on our flag. People who choose to disrespect our national anthem. Education administrators disposing of the recitation of our country’s pledge of allegiance.  To me, these actions give cause to reflect on why and how this could have happened.  We wounded by the disintegration of our national unity, the erosion of faith and beliefs that once gave strength to that unity. 
We have allowed the dissent of the 1960’s activists to infect our society.  It has invaded our government, and our educational system to the extent that many in our society are no longer aware of the obstacles we have corrected and overcome throughout our history.  We have allowed our borders to be infiltrated by some who have no intention of becoming an integral part of our society.  The immigrants who once came with the purpose of assimilating into our society are now parsed with divisive elements with no intent of assimilating. 
The “Cold war” was never just against nations, it was against ideologies, and that war has never been won or lost.
Pray for our country, love your neighbor, pray for peace and understanding.
God Bless America

HUBRIS/DENIED


Wow! What a difference an election makes. An entire class of the American population is shocked by the outcome of the recent election of Donald J. Trump.  They are blaming every possible causation of that result with one exception, that of the common sense of the people.



HEADLINE: Hubris seems to have cost the Democratic party this election.  In sticking to their indoctrinated beliefs that they are the superior faction (in every way), they refused to look at the facts.

Denial: refusal to satisfy a request or desire. 2. a (1) : refusal to admit the truth or reality (as of a statement or charge) (2) : assertion that an allegation is false b: refusal to acknowledge a person or a thing: disavowal.

Hu·bris: [ˈ(h)yo͞obrÉ™s]: excessive pride or self-confidence.

synonyms: arrogance · conceit · haughtiness · hauteur · pride ·


antonyms: humility  (in Greek tragedy) excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods, leading to nemesis.



In their usual misinterpretation, of how correct they are in their ingrained beliefs and judgments, they completely misjudged how sick and tired most of us are of hearing how ignorant, uninformed, racist, bigoted and just plain stupid we are for not accepting their policies and ideology.

Most of us are just sick and tired of being fed an intellectual diet of bovine excrement, non-existent  transparency, politically correct language and policies.  We are tired of Senate leaders who refuse to act on legislation because of a President who puts his political beliefs in front of our nation.  The recognition of that discomfort, at a national level, propelled Mr. Trump to one of the highest electoral victories in the last few generations of voters.



It is,  apparently, not enough that we have been subjected to the name calling of the last nine months.  In their pain and anguish, the democrats are continuing the fight and spreading the hatred.  It is a precursor of the next round of division in our country.  Instead of looking to the policies, that have been rejected, the Democrats have blamed racism for the failures of their ideological stance of the 1950’s and sixties.  Thanks to the race baiters their ideology is stuck on the misbelief  “white folks” want people of color to remain as second class citizens.  That misconception is another of the reason for the recent defeat of the Democratic party.  Just as their hubris neglected to recognize that as a weakness during the election they continue to hold on to that part of their narrative and belief.  As a conservative, I sincerely hope they continue their hubris.  As an American I would much rather see the complete evaporation of their judgemental, all knowing pride.



As a side note, I reiterate my oft-spoken belief, that All is never a correct way to describe a group of individuals when at most it should be some and in most cases a few.



The actual truth of the people of our nation is that most of us respect the other person's humanity, rights and freedoms, the rights of their individual beliefs.  Most of our people will give a helping hand to another human being regardless of any difference.  Most of us do not wish harm on any other person.  Most of us do not judge another by the color of their skin, their educational level, their economic level, UNLESS those judgemental attitudes have been taught to them.



To trade one form of prejudice for another doesn’t make you better or different but it can make you a bigot of another color. Arbee



I might suggest that in the best interests of our country that the Democrats do an honest appraisal of what really happened, and adapt a position of humility in place of hubris.  That just might help heal the effect of the policy of divide and conquer which is no longer effective.  We, as a nation, do not have to accept the socialistic world view of a borderless international governmentally controlled species.  There is a better path for us.



Love your neighbor, Pray for our country, support our military, and stand up for law and order.



God Bless our nation and it’s leaders.

DEPARTMENT OF INDOCTRINATION

News flash this A.M. greeted from our West Coast city of San Fransisco me confirming that education has taken a back seat to indoctrination.
The teachers union which provides “education” for  over 57,000 young minds is offering curriculum training for a class that is definitely more indoctrinational than educational. 
San Francisco's public schools have been offered a classroom lesson plan that calls President-elect Donald Trump a racist, sexist man who became president by pandering to a huge racist and sexist base."
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/san-francisco-teachers-union-offers-anti-trump-lesson-43586647 It’s not surprising with the exception that the slanted lesson plan has been so openly presented. 

Presenting subjective opinion to young minds is like planting seeds in a fertile field with no proof of nutritional value, or of the overall safety of the results. Since the 1960’s our educational system, with teachers fed by the unions, has become increasingly political in nature.  
The ideology of the progressive liberal  agenda has made huge inroads in the practice of revisionist history education.  The old method of teaching the differences of opposing views during social studies has taken the direction of indoctrination over that of educating.  Instead of learning the tenants of the different systems and beliefs students are now taught the values of one over the other from the ideological leanings of the teachers.  Students are no longer taught how to think and discern, they are filled with subjective misinformation which wears the mask of false facts.
  
Our society is relinquishing the unity of purpose, national pride, freedom of thought and speech that helped us grow into one of the most productive and generous people the world has ever known.  We are giving away our positive history to a system of socialistic academia, and unionism that concentrates on our mistakes rather than our achievements.  This is not happening by accident but rather by the design of those who would see our system fail.
 
Our higher academia feeding on the false belief that they are much wiser than the rest of us, train our teachers that by emulating them the new teachers are also head and shoulders above the parents.  This is totally disregarding the absence of common sense in their attitudes to the detriment of our children.
 
While not all teachers are so full of themselves a large number are joined at the hip with their unions.  The unions gain power through the liberal progressive governing party and education helps feed them economically.  It’s no wonder that employees who benefit from a larger government vote time and time again for the Democrat party officials who support them.  The unions need the government on their side in order to maintain membership numbers that will  continue to pay for their existence. The practice of creating more and more little progressive minds should not be the focus of our educational system, but that is becoming an ultimate goal, a goal detrimental to the society as a whole. Not a pretty picture to watch.

It appears that the curse of Eve, “eat the apple Adam”, continues to inflict humanity even at this late date.  If given something good mankind will find a way to throw it all away out of selfishness.  
Politics has a way of corrupting and our system, of democratic federalism in conjunction with a capitalistic partner, for opposing powers to be.  The founding fathers found purpose in attempting to create a system of  government based on the consensus of the people to empower the people, not the governing body.  That purpose has been eroded through apathy and the mistaken philosophy of “if they (anyone else) take care of me and provide for my needs and wants”, then I will give them my power.
They, “the progressive movement”, will take our power and that of future generations until our entire system crumbles. Seeking temporary control and power from a new system of domination.  Letting the other guy support you only works until the other guy needs to be supported as well.  
The indoctrinating propaganda used on our society should be apparent to all, but it isn’t.  We see that insipid cancer spread across the streets of our nation,  being fed by folks, like George Soros.
 
Those we entrust our children too, the ones who teach our children, the ones who train those teachers and the media that feeds our society information have been infected with and spread that false doctrine. Most do that because they have been coerced into thinking they are smarter, kinder and basically better than the rest of the society.  Like Satan used Eve’s ignorance, of the end result , false indoctrination puts us on the same path toward destruction.  Our children, our society, our nation deserves better than they are getting.
 
Pray for our country. Pray for discernment. Love your neighbor.
.

GodBless the U.S.A.

* Just for clarification, very seldom are definitions of people correct when "all of them" are included in that definition. Pray for those educators who fight against false indoctrination, and they are many.

FORCE-FED FEAR



Fear is a natural response to danger whether it’s based on fact or fiction.  The inherent responses to fear are flight, freeze, and fight.  Regardless of what instigates it, there is always an action taken for self-preservation.  That is a fact of nature that crosses all boundaries of life on our planet. With our species (homo sapiens) we are different from other forms of a supposed universal ability for reasoning.  That ability is available to us in understanding the validity of threat which would seemingly give us another possible response, which would be to ignore the false.

We all translate our environment through the veil of our individual belief systems and because of this our responses can be manipulated by feeding our beliefs with false information.  This is the power of creating false perception through propaganda.  Fear is one of the most basic motivators and is also the most easily manipulated by rumor and outright falsehood.  There is a reason that the tablets presented to Moses on that mountain included the commandment  “Thou shalt not bear false witness”.

There used to a be parlor  game in which a line of people whispered a statement from one to the other and by the time it had migrated through the line of folks the statement had been substantially changed.  We have just been through a political campaign in which this phenomenon has been put to use in order to instill a degree of fear regarding an opponent's position on an array of subjects.  
Through the twisting of intent and verbal redefinition, misconceptions become part of a belief system affecting the electorate.  Similar to the effects of terrorism, fear is created by this manipulation of perception.  We can see the effects of this fear being magnified by a mob mentality that makes beliefs conform just because of the sheer numbers of repetition.  Reason does not occur and the examination for validity is no longer a factor as perception becomes a false reality.

Most of us, older folks, remember the old western movies where the sheriff has to protect a prisoner from a lynch mob.  The lynch mob whipped into a fury by the evil villain always results in violence.  Sound familiar?  We have watched this same type of manufactured hysteria take place over the last few years and the violence created has caused millions of dollars in property damage and loss of lives.  

Those losses can fall at the feet of politicians and the media.  The perpetrators of manipulation seem to have no shame nor do they take any responsibility for what is a real crime against our people.  If a parent did this type of thing to their children, we would be clamoring for punitive justice, not so in this case.  Their payoffs come in many shapes and sizes but all include a coziness with greed and lust for money and power.  Our people share in the guilt of loss to our society as we, as an ignorant mob, have allowed this to happen. 

We have failed to use our power of reason to inspect  the validity of what we are being force fed.

The United States of America originated on our planet as a result of knowing that we all deserve the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  This is true for the individual and for all of us collectively.  There are some that would deny us those rights through the power of angst.  Like it or not we are being manipulated and a large number of us, like cattle being herded toward the slaughter, are allowing fear to propel us.

Our country has enemies, that is not news.  That we are being directed, by people like George Soros, toward a type of government enslavement is not being recognized as newsworthy.  Common sense is being eroded by our own basic national desire to do good.  To be the gentler, kinder members of the world's community.  We are being led to believe that being responsible for our survival comes in second to making sure everyone has all the same things, no winners, no losers.  

We have been led to believe that those of us who want to ensure our existence are somehow the evil force in our nation and those who want to give are the good.  To make that more emphatic, our societal mob has come up with a list of criteria that must be met in order to be acceptable. “Governance by clique” and compliance to the new ideal is required and anyone who doesn’t conform is perceived as some sort of a “neanderthalic” moron.  
Common sense would dictate that survival of our democratic, capitalistic system is a priority if we as a nation are going to continue in our abilities to be charitable to people across the expanse of our planet, to create innovations that help our environment, to find solutions to so many different maladies that affect mankind.

To all those mob driven groups out there who are raising havoc, harming your own neighborhoods, creating danger for your fellow man, quit acting irresponsibly.  Take the time to examine your anger, your frustration, and your fears.  Are they valid or are you just a tool for someone else’s greed and lust?  George Soros has one goal and unfortunately he has the means to create fear in our society and he has been effective.  We need to take our country back.  We are a better people than what we are exhibiting to the rest of the world.

God Bless our Country and its people.  Protect us from false witness.

MANIPULATED MADNESS

Motivated by media induced fear our system of peaceful transfer of power is under attack.  Our society is being manipulated, and much like sheep we are being herded into a way of life that leads to slaughter.

I am not a scholar, not a politician, and not a 1%er.  I am just an ordinary citizen, albeit a senior by age, who was raised in an era of common sense.  My indoctrination was performed by family, religion, and public school which infused values into my beliefs.  Looking back across my lifetime it is apparent, to me, that the majority of my mistakes occurred when I moved away from that indoctrination.

The society I see emerging is so far removed from my point of entry into adulthood that it seems to be totally alien in nature.  The society I was raised in stressed the importance of honesty, patriotism, hard work, and an effort to excel in a competitive world.  I was taught the importance of always doing your best regardless of the task or the compensation.  Our society is no longer universally in agreement and I see the movement away from responsibility and self-actualization. 

Indoctrination has taken a new direction.  Language, speech, history have all been rotated to fit a new purpose and what was perceived to be an innocent difference of opinion has changed who we are as a nation.  I have stated many times that one of the most important books in my life is titled “As a Man Thinketh”, the premise being that our beliefs dictate who we are as an individual.  I believe that society acts and reacts in a similar way.  Unfortunately, what society believes does not generally receive the close scrutiny required to inject truth into perception.

We have been led to believe, (honestly) , certain things that are not necessarily supported by fact (truth) but are more importantly serving  a purpose that is detrimental to our nation.  Stalin once said that communism would defeat the U.S. not with weapons but with words.  So far the indoctrination of our educators has proven to be a powerful weapon in this war of ideologies.   The liberal progressive agenda, which originally had all good intentions toward our nation and our society, took a hard shift in the sixties.  Fueled by the anti-war sentiment that movement was used to educate folks not only against war but as a platform to rail against the entire concept of the United States of America.  This form of mental manipulation has metastasized throughout  academia, entertainment, and the media. 

This year we have been shown the practice and the power of using words, fragments of statements and the twisting of intent.  The practice of political conflict is taking its toll on our national unity.  The use of propaganda to create false beliefs and fear simply to gain political power has effectively created enough fear into the process that either outcome would result in social unrest.  For those folks who want to defeat our nation, and destroy our unity, you may have won this battle but I assure you the war will be ours.

To those of you who have bought into the Trump is an evil, dangerous, homophobic, misogynistic, racist bigot, whose policies will destroy our nation, I say where are the facts.
Is this what you fear?  https://www.politiplatform.com/trump  You will be hard pressed to find those fears substantiated by his platform.

I don’t think any of us enjoy being used as tools, and that is the purpose behind dividing us into small opposing groups and pitting us against each other.  Our country is a rainbow of color and of beliefs, we are stronger as an intertwined cable than as individual windblown strands of humanity.  We are being manipulated into hate and distrust which will rot us from within and it’s time to put a halt to it.

I am not a conspiracy wonk, but there is some substantial backing for the belief in the existence of a shadow government.  I am including some reference sites you might want to look at.




Don’t let this bunch succeed.


Pray for our country, our new President-elect, and our people.

God Bless us all

WHAT NOW FOLKS ?

Finally the torture of constant bombardment of propaganda and confusing rhetoric, known as a Presidential campaign, has concluded.  A conclusion that no one I know, ever viewed as probable.  There has been a toll paid by each of us during this last year, a result of the propaganda rhetoric has cost relationships for just about everyone.  The sharp divide in our society has been widened by half truths and innuendo which taint our perceptions.

There is no time for the victor, of this process, to gloat.  Our country is weakened when divided by ideology and anger and now is the time for rebuilding what has been lost.  It is a time for rewinding all those individual threads, we have been divided into, into the strong, intertwined cable of  one nation.  This is a time for us to unite behind a President-elect who, at most, satisfies only partially what we wanted as  a president.

There is little time for despair for those who fought so fervently to prevent the election of a man they perceive to be unsuitable to be our leader.  What ultimately took place did not look, even remotely, possible until the last few hours in this hard fought contest.  Understandably  shocked disbelief will bring  stages of grief to be suffered over the loss of this battle, but hopefully, our nation will come out of this stronger and eventually more unified than it has been in years.  God willing.

Now is the time for we the people to unite in the cause of repairing and rebuilding our nation.  Now is the time to re-affirm our position in the world as a peacekeeping force, leading from a position of power.  Now is the time for we the people to force our governance to serve us rather than self-serving particular ideologies and political parties.  Now is the time for all of us to sift the fact from the fiction and to discard perception in favor of truth.  That will be no easy task after being force-fed fear and distrust of the man chosen to be President-elect.

Some thoughts we all might ponder and spend some time considering:

Because you want to vet incoming refugees does not mean you hate all Muslims.  The Muslims in our country need protection from Islamic terrorists and Sharia law as much or more than the rest of us.

Because you want to build a wall across our Southen border does not mean you hate Latino’s.  It simply means you want to prevent illegal entry into our country and to prevent the flow of illegal narcotics.  The “coyote” smuggling business is guilty of atrocities against many of the Latino’s they charge $$ to bring through the open border.

Because you want to give inner city children of minorities a chance of school choice doesn’t mean you hate minorities.
Because you want the rule of law, including that of immigration, doesn’t mean you hate immigrants.  It simply means you want it done legally.

Because you want to rebuild our military and re-examine our rules of engagement, doesn’t mean you want to blow up the world.
And the list continues almost into infinity.  

I would suggest for our own good that we give a bit of time to see if he really loves our country.  A bit of time to see if he really intends to help the inner cities.  Time to see if he will be President for all of We the People.

Pray for our country, pray for our people

A TIME TO PRAY

Finally!  We the people have reached the point of choice completion.  In the next 14 hours, the country will have made their choice as to whom will lead the United States as President.  Whatever reasons each of us has used for that choice, we all hope that more people agree with our own purpose than not.  We have done all we could do to support our choices, and now our hands, our minds, our voices have stretched as far as they can go. 

I am a Christian, a believer in an almighty God, because of that I still have one more thing I can do to help the candidate of my choice.  Pray!  I could pray that my candidate will win this election, but I choose a different prayer.

Father, I know that you have chosen leaders among men
I know that your wisdom greatly exceeds that of mankind
I pray that whoever is chosen to lead our country
That they will be molded into being a servant of our people and our nation
That they will help our nation return You to the position above all
Amen

the Most High has power over human kingdoms. He gives them to whomever he wishes. — Daniel 4:17

Now I know that not everyone will agree,that God is ultimately in charge, or that He even exists, but in the big picture I can still have Hope and Faith that good will come from the result.


God Bless America

CLINTON (CARTEL) FOUNDATION

As most of us have heard, those who listen anyway, the generosity of the Clinton Foundation has applied only 6 or 7 percent of their received donations to charitable causes.  To top that disgusting fact off, many of the donations were in the furtherance of a pay to play income enhancing ploy for the Clintons e enhancing ploy for the Clintons personally. 
These numbers were similar in the foundation's 2013 tax returns, which revealed that the Clinton Foundation raised over $140 million but only used $9 million in direct aid, according to the New York Post:  “It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the Clintons,” said Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a government watchdog group where progressive Democrat and Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout was once an organizing director.

I can’t personally write about all of the evidence, the books, and the e-mails that support the accusations, but I can give some informative articles.

GLASS CEILING ?

Rude and no filter when it comes to speaking and talking as a rash blue collar background billionaire, but not the mysogonist portrayed by his opposition.  Here are some excerpts you might cogitate upon.

many women who have worked closely with Trump say he was a corporate executive ahead of his time in providing career advancement for women.
“From the standpoint of being a woman, I just thought he was phenomenal,” said Sunshine, 74. “So supportive and encouraging. . . . He gave me the ropes, and I could either hang myself or prove myself.”

Today, according to Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, there are more women than men holding executive positions in the Trump Organization, heading such departments as human resources, golf, and hotel management, and global licensing, even though women make up just 43 percent of the overall workforce. Women who are in similar positions as men, Cohen said, “are compensated at equal and in many cases higher pay rates.”

Women Who Have Worked With Trump Say He Was “Ahead Of His Time In Providing Career Advancement For Women” And Promoted Women In A Male-Dominated Industry. “But many women who have worked closely with Trump say he was a corporate executive ahead of his time in providing career advancement for women. While some say he could be boorish, his companies nurtured and pro­moted women in an otherwise male-dominated industry.” (Frances Stead Sellers, “Donald Trump, A Champion Of Women? His Female Employees Think So.,” The Washington Post, 11/24/15)

Deirdre Rosen, Vice President Of Human Resources For The Trump Organization, Praised Trump For His Flexibility In Allowing For A Family Life. “Deirdre Rosen, 42, vice president of human resources for the Trump Hotel Collection, said that after working for big public companies, the seven years she has spent at the family-run Trump Organization have offered her the flexibility to ‘be present at soccer games and drama club’ with her children.” (Frances Stead Sellers, “Donald Trump, A Champion Of Women? His Female Employees Think So.,” The Washington Post, 11/24/15)

Jill Martin, “Assistant General Counsel [For Trump], … Described A Boss Who Helped Her Overcome Her Caution About Her Abilities And Encouraged Her To Grow.” “Jill Martin, 35, assistant general counsel, who joined the Trump Organization five years ago, described a boss who helped her overcome her caution about her abilities and encouraged her to grow.” (Frances Stead Sellers, “Donald Trump, A Champion Of Women? His Female Employees Think So.,” The Washington Post, 11/24/15)

“I can no longer remain silent about the repeated and reprehensible attempts to align my boss and his family with racist hate-mongering groups, campaigns and messaging,” wrote Patton, director of the Eric Trump Foundation and assistant to Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. She said the video was not part of her employment but was triggered by the reaction Trump has received during his campaign. https://www.reddit.com/r/WomenForTrump/comments/4d03qn/lets_compile_a_list_of_prowomen_prominority/
  • Donated $25,000 to a mostly black women's basketball league after the founder was killed in the 9/11 attack. http://www.slamjamwbc.org/
  • Barbara Res at 33 years old became the first woman to ever be put in charge of supervising the construction of a skyscraper when Donald Trump hired her in 1980. http://imgur.com/PK6YiDr A section from her book:
he took a chance on a part-time position she parlayed into a career beginner with a major Construction company in NY. After holding several "men's jobs" in contracting, Res met Donald Trump, at the Grand Hyatt project he was developing for the hotel company. She impressed him and when he had a new ground up project, he installed her as Executive in charge of Construction. The project was the world famous Trump Tower and the rest is history - a history filled with travail and triumph."

TRUMP PREJUCICE (?)


Honesty does not require Truth, Truth requires fact, cover your honesty in truth.

  • Trump helped Jennifer Hudson after her family members was killed http://www.ijreview.com/2015/11/461306-these-5-acts-of-kindness-reveal-theres-more-to-donald-trump-than-just-his-celebrity-persona/
  • Trump dated black supermodel Kara Young in the early 2000's.
  • Trump's spokesperson is Katrina Pierson, a black woman.
  • Trump's daughter (Ivanka) and son-in-law (Jared Kushner) are Jewish.
  • His wife is a (legal) immigrant.
  • “To equate racism with my boss’ call for a temporary moratorium on a flawed immigration system that radical Islamic terrorists continue to exploit, or the construction of an impassible wall to protect our borders from the influx of illegal drugs, is not only incendiary, it’s wholly irresponsible and only serves to embolden the very hatred these draconian groups espouse,”
Honesty does not always follow the facts, truth does.  Better to follow truth.

Pray for discernment.
