IT is now Sunday again, today is Febuary 16th, 2025. The weather has turned to snow here in Westborough, Mass, overnight, mixed with rain and ice through today it seems. As all who live here in the North East of the United states know, this is not unusual for us at all. Some of us actually survived the Blizzard of December 1978, and lived to talk about it. For me December 28th, 1978 and that blizzard was the day, I entered the United States Navy, and was sent to Great Lakes, Ill. for Boot Camp.
I actually found myself growing up in The Navy at the time because I was immature still when I entered it. Boot Camp taught me to be more responisible for my own actions. I think I did ok. I passed Boot Camp, I passed A School, went to my first sea going command back then, it was The USS Dahlgren DDG-43. I would serve on Dahlgren, then shore duty,then the USS Monoghelia AO-178, and in the end, a very short time aboard the USS Pounce LPD 15. Each ship I served on, was different because each ship takes on the personality of it’s Captain and it’s officers, not the crew so to say. We follow orders in the US Services no matter what branch we are in. As a Engineer, a Boiler Technichan in the Navy we were always the first onboard for deployments and the last to go home after them. Our duty was the engineering plants that kept the ships we served on going and ready at all cost. We did so well, on those I served on, for the times I was on them. No we weren’t perfect, yes we made mistakes all people do, but in the end, we did what Uncle Sam asked us to do, Protect and Defend the UNited States of America and our interests around the world. I am proud of it, and anyone who says they don’t think it is a great thing, can go to hell. Without those Service Members in serve in all our branches, there would be no United States today. The saddest part of today’s world is the dismantling, the rearranging, the changes in the U.S. and it’s military today. When I served there was no such thing asa Stress Card, what the hell is the shit in Boot Camp. You either make or break in Boot Camp kids, you don’t stay if you can’t make it they put you out. Why would anyone invent a Stress Card for recruits in Boot Camp is beyond me.
Anyway, as time went for me, I did leave the Navy and I accummilated 16 years of Service time in my life. I also got injuried and became a Disabled Veteran while in and on active duty, doing my job. Today, the Veteran’s Administration is my place for help as needed, and support for all I do in my life. I am very Proud and wear my Navy Hats everywhere I go. The U.S. Military is needed folks by our country and those who do serve are proud to do so, I say. Although there are like any other place in the world, bad parts and people in it. Ultimately, they get sorted out and end up discharged for one reason or another in the end. It is all a part of military service, you tow the lines laid out, or you get out. The smart ones who do not like the military and who signed up volunteerily know in the end they must complete their contract, under Honorable Circumstances ro lose all benefits they could earn or should have earned. That is life folks in the military as we say, one has to earn a Honorable Discharge period.
That said, I have mine from three Branches, US Army, US Army National Guard and the US Navy. Thats three folks, and that wans’t easy to do. The story of how that happened is one, no one will ever truly know except me. I will just say, I never surrendered, until I had no choice, I wanted to make 20 years, but came up short, due to six herniated discs in my spine, after a fall down a Navy Ship Ladder of 25 steel rungs. I live in pain daily, and sometimes can’t sleep, and sometimes can’t walk much, but I push on, I am now going on 70 in another 11 months. One thing I can say, I saw the world folks, the Navy does that for you, as well as feeds you well cares for your health, and shows it all to you.
I did Europe many times, from England to France To Spain, To Italy and more including Germany. I went to The North Atlantic and Amsterdam, I went to South America and every country around it. I spent time in The Virgin Islands too. I learned something about people in general, no matter where they come from, no matter color, race, religion, beliefs, all want respected, all want loved and all can be welcoming to Americans. At least that is my experience around the world. We laughed, we cried, we met many different cultures, nationalities and personalities too. We listened to our orders even on shore and liberty too. We represented the United States of America and did so with pride. We held out heads high, we did what Uncle Sam said and made America a nation all loved and all Americans are proud of.
We did skip the Draft, we didn’t cry over bone spurs in our feet. Today we have an American President who dodged serving his country. Who wants to tear down America, for what, his own anger over losing an election? He lost in 2020 folks, there is not doubt, he should not be able to go on a four year Presidency just to get retribution and revenge against those in The Justic and Political System of America, who found his flaws, his errors and that he attacked. He tore up Washington, DC, Because he refused to admit his defeat to Joe Biden, yet here he is back in Office, tearing up our Government now, why? The saddest day in my history is the day DOnald J. trump began his second term as President of the United States and it should be for all Americans. Yet, we have the MAGA Followers of his who managed to Vote him in and now blindly follow him in all ways. There is no more Republican Party folks, Lincoln’s Party has died. They have no self-pride, no wisdom, no steadfastness, and no honor these days. These receed and run, and give Trump and his cronies, the right to do all they wish. The Republican Party should disband actually and just raise the white flag as a band of cowards, and never return. What happened to the Conservatives who had the balls and honor to protect the United States Constitution and our Bill of Rights? Where have the real Republican Conservatives gone?
We all know The United States is in Debt to the world for many reasons, but, should we be dismantling the Education Department, Should we be allowing Elon Musk a non-elected individual, into our personal data and records? Who the hell is Elon Musk really folks, where did he come from and just because he is the richest man on the planet he knows it all? Bullshit ! And why is Elon Musk making finanacial decisions for Americans? If you ask me Elon Musk is the unofficial President of the United States and the World knows it. Donald J. Trump may wear the Presidency Title, but he sure as hell, is not making the decisions, Musk is, why is that?
Let me say this, JOe Biden may have lost it in office, buy you will lose it some too if you live to your 80’s. But then Trump is reelected, and he was 78 coming in folks this time. He mumbles, he sits by as Elon Musk tells him what to do and he does it. But, the end of his term Trump will be a blathering idiot, and controlled by Musk in all ways and the americans who voted for him will pay the price like all will. Let me ask you this folks, what would the Founding Fathers of our Country have done about and with Donald J. Trump? I know what they would have done at the minumum, Tarred and Feathers his ass and hung him on a post and ran him out of town and country. He destroyed the Capital on Jan. 6th, he sent thos epeople in and all know it. Now I ask you who paid for the repair of our Capital after that attack on January 6th, we did folks, we the taxpayers. Trump didn’t put out a penny to repair or replaced what he destroyed. He got away with it.
Trump is a bought and sold President, period, He was bought by Elon Musk and Putin! Sadly, Americans are blind to that fact or won’t admit it. Time will show what I am saying is true, as Trump sits behind the Resolute desk and looks the part and Musk pulls all the strings and sells us out to Putin and Russia. I shit you not folks, it is happening before your very eyes and if you don’t see it, well your not educated enough, or youra cultist and MAGA Follower who is brainwashed. Sadly, America is not getting stronger in the world we are heading backwards, but, many will say I am full of it. I am not, but, The MAGA Crowd has the bullhorns and the press now and they have scared the hell out of Congress and the Democrats, and are allowed to do as they want. Unless America, reacts stronger, with more force, more protests, more anger, in some way, america is done in the World folks and asa nation. We are now, following blindly, much like the germans fell for Hitler and his tactics. Will America be able to recover from Trump and his MAGA Followers, and if not, where do we end up folks, in an autocratic country, with no say, and torn asunder, and ripped off for all the financial information and money we put in to our country. we are being dismantled folks, by Trump and Musk and their followers, wake up! They are laughing all the wayto the bank, and lying out theirt asses to you the american people, do you like being shit on now? Do you like all that is being dismantled and destroyed now? If we the american People do not wake up, stand up and begin to fightback, we are done as a nation folks, the Great American Dream will die! Like all the great Empires before us, we shall disappear also. Ask the aztecs, The Peruvians, The American Indians,The Incas, and yes the Germans and even the Japanese, all fell, because they blindly followed and did not question or work hard enough to fight back. So, it seems, it will go for America, and our American Dreams.
