It not big folks, but it is funny! Try it!

There are many ways to say to the public hey wake up, but none effective enough for them to listen at all times. Attention getting newscasts lately include Obama did this wrong, Obama did that wrong, we shouldn’t be fighting in Afghanistan, or Iraq or Syria. I believe we don’t need to be policing the world when we can police our own country and survive and help ourselves here at home by creating jobs, helping our own homeless and hungry and closing our borders to all till the Ebola Crisis is over.

That said, we need to get on Congress’s ass,and tell them to generate jobs in all possible ways, give tax breaks to manufacturing companies, extend unemployment and back Obama Care whether you like it or not, or get the hell out of office. The USA is now falling behind the world economy in so many ways, we are being over run by other countries products and paying for their materials cause we don’t produce our own anymore. Sad isn’t it folks?

Whatever happened to BE American, Buy American?  Did we forget so fast that we need to buy our own items in order for our economy to survive? Are we that ignorant folks that, we don’t realize when we buy someone else’s materials or equipment we leave our own economy short of that cash?

One person can not solve the problems we have now in America folks, but I can try to raise hell about the lack or care and respect we give ourselves in this country! I can suggest, cajole, push, recommend and rant over it all, but if no one listens I can’t force change, not one person’s place to do so, but if more look at it the way I do we can effect change by pure numbers in the end!

Talking about change the November 4th elections are coming fast, lets change the House so it works again folks, and if in 2016 you determined to elect a President who can handle the job, then elect people who can help them in the future.The saddest thing we did in the last election was put a Democrat in the White House, but republicans in the House, while the opposing views are fun to watch in action, they tend to stalemate a country that needs helps and advancements, lets wake the hell up folks.

Ok all of the Above said, I have watched millions of Americans become unemployed and unable to find work and slowly go downhill as unemployment runs out. Sad isn’t it? Homeless people living in cardboard boxes, standing by roadsides begging for a place to sleep and food and a job.  What the hell is wrong with America folks, that we allow our own people to be so desperate and no one reacts they just drive right by and not help anyone? Sad is what I tell ya, very sad, what happened to the all for one and one for all spirit we once had?

  OK onward and upward so to say! I write poetry, short stories and blogs as we all know. I try to blog about subjects that bother me and the country when I can. Some of my blogs are all rants, some all stories and some even poetry, but at least I attempt to reach out to people and discuss the subjects important to me in the world, more should be doing the same, now if the time to be heard folks.

  My Stories and Poems  can be found on Amazon’s KIndle E-Book for sale, yes I am not Hemingway or even Robert Ludlum but I try to make some stories worth people’s time to read. I don’t price them sky high, but appropriate for the size of the story I tell. My Poems I turned into books for all to read. So when you all feel lonely or you need a short story to keep ya busy look them up please and give me a chance to write more and get better at it ok.

Hanging in Dealy Plaza [Kindle Edition]

The story of a Hanging from the same window in the Texas School Book depository JFK was shot from!

     After almost 59 years of life, I now face the age of my mother when she died of cancer, yes I know it is possible I can die, or survive depending on how I handle my own cancer. Cancer has run in my family now for generations and sadly it has taken some of the better members of my extended family by surprise. Cancer as we all know is a deadly disease that they have one hell of a time stopping once it starts and can reoccur at any time in the person’s life. It is never really eradicated is it folks, it just become dormant until it overcomes the medications or radiation and chemo and comes back like a bad penny. cancer my friends is a nasty killer and it doesn’t matter, sex, religion, color or any other thing does it, it kills all.

My journey with cancer began in 1971, when my mother dragged us back from Florida where we had moved less than 6 months before, her father had cancer and had died of it it in a Nursing Home, Pancreatic cancer took him.My mother and her brothers and sister buried Grandpa and time went on with out any thought of it again. But cancer has a way of coming back and reappearing in family you may not even know about.

November 1984, I received a phone call as I sat home  one night. When I answered it my Aunt Betty whom I barely knew called to tell me, my real father had died of lung cancer in a New Jersey Hospital. I was surprised and shocked cancer was on my father’s side too, and I packed up my wife and kids and uniforms for I wa serving Uncle Sam’s Navy, took leave and went to bury him. Sadly I had barely knew my father for he and my mom separated when I was nine months old, and I had only met him twice, still I attended.

Time would go on, and I never thought twice until after i was discharged in 1989, my wife and I split and went our separate ways in 1990. I returned home to my parents house who took me in for a short time, and I arrived not knowing my step-father was dying of cancer now too. I watched him slowly get eaten up by cancer too, slowly getting thinner and smaller over a short period of time, in the end he died of cancer in October of 1990 and another funeral was  my next step. During his dying, my siblings and I were called to a hospital and sat down by a doctor who told us mom too was dying of cancer. By October of 1991 mom passed away in a back bedroom of my sister’s house from lung cancer gone another parent, taken by a deadly cancer, lung.

Sadly, there is no way to tell where in your family or life cancer may raise it’s deadly head again. I moved on after grieving both parents and married again, only to run dead into cancer again, once more as my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. We faced it together for her sake and took her to many doctors and spent many hours in consultations. One doctor said taking the breast was the way, another said it wasn’t necessary. Luckily we took her to Sloan Kettering in New York, where the opinion was the limp nodes under her left breast could be removed without breast removal. It worked and she has survived 8 more years already now.Thank God! That was 2006!

2013, August, As I went to see my Veteran’s Administration Doctor at a Veteran’s Hospital, and went through a check-up I started coughing up blood and phlegm, and my doctor stuck me in a cancer survey and had me  take an MRI, diagnosis Lung Cancer for me, nice huh! I was sent to a surgeon in less then a month and operated on, and a lobe and 1/3 of my right lung removed and no more sign of the cancer now! I survived and I was lucky enough to do so without chemo or radiation, so I am healthy enough to keep going for a bit.

The bottom question is, none of us who have had cancer and survive it today, know if it will ever come back or what causes it, we need to get to the bottom of it folks, we need to kill cancer before it kills anyone else! Fight Cancer and yes it is Breast cancer Awareness Month in October here, so pay attention and fight cancer in all forms. 

    As Ebola now has hit the United States in Texas, too many will panic and we could have a disaster if not careful folks, so stay calm. As companies continue to make the vaccine that saved two americans to save many more, we have to be very careful how we handle the situation.

1 Calm is the first step to logical steps

2 Do not have sex or swap spit or fluids with strangers or people from another country.

3 Soap , water, bleach go along way folks, keep clean.

4 If someone is coughing, sweating and sneezing try to avoid all contact.

5 If you think you see an Ebola carrier or someone sick from it, report it to 911 and authorities. 

The numbers on the disease are sad in Africa, we do not need to have the same effect here in America!  Don’t be ignorant folks, learn all you can about how Ebola is contacted and how to be careful, don’t stay blind and get it! The uniformed is why it has spread so far all over African nations, and the world, learn people and react in the right ways!

  Ebola in America and in Texas ! Should Americans Panic and be overly worried, no, should we be careful, hell yes no matter where, especially in Texas.  But don’t panic and remember to stay calm and away from a possible Ebola patient. It is transferred by body fluids folks, and doesn’t seem to be an airborne transmission!  I am not an expert or a Doctor  but, please look it up and how to avoid getting it. Ebola patients are cleaned thoroughly with Bleach, their clothes are burned and destroyed then they are isolated once found. So panicking will not help anyone ok! Be calm and if you get a fever, chills,diarrhea, and swear big time, head for a hospital and tell them you may have Ebola so they can help you and contain you so it does not spread to everyone. 

Secondly, please remember Ebola’s cause and it’s treatments are not fully known, but America is creating a vaccine right not in huge numbers as they go along. We are the only nation so far to be able to combat Ebola in some way and save victims of it, we have saved two already. So, let manufacture the vaccine and then get people who have Ebola contained and treated so we can work to kill Ebola . Ok?

On the political front, the mid-term elections are almost upon us. We need to make some changes folks and do so now, before 2016 to be ready for the future and to get the country moving forward again.

1- Remove from the House of Representatives it’s Majority Leader Boehner, John one each non-military issue ok!

           2- Don’t allow anyone in the house who has boycotted, or filibustered bills to stay in office. 

3- Change the House and senate Balance to back which ever Presidential Candidate you think will win in 2016.

4- Get the House to stop backing bills and improving our economy by voting those that are stopping movement out.

5-E-mail or call your Congressman or Senator and tell them to create jobs and extend Unemployment and reeducate 

the Blue Collar workers to work in White Collar jobs. Tell them to give Manufacturing a chance to come back by 

 Lowering the Tax Rates for them? And push Innovation please.

6- Before they vote on anything in The House or Senate, they should consider the middle class and lower class and 

 Help all of us not just the rich!

In closing today’s blog I want to say thank you to all who read it daily or weekly, I am trying to stir an interest in

Things that need correcting in America and for the american People not other nations. we can lead by example, not         by Policing Nations and bailing them out. Bring the Troops home and use the money to build an Economy and Jobs!

       America, America God Shed his Grace on Thee, Remember those words folks, I do and so should every American period, we are the luckiest nation in the world with many of the best brains in the world alive. we have tech others don’t, yet we don’t have jobs for all. We have the best medical experts in the world,yet we have sick and dying people still, we proclaim ourselves the world leaders in many areas, but are we really? 

Here are a few questions for what we call the best form of Government in the world! 1) Why if we are the best is our economy dying and so many people out of work and begging on our streets? 2) Why do we have homeless people living in cardboard boxes and begging for food and warmth? Why do we not have jobs like we did back in the 1950s, 1960s, what happened folks? 3) Why doesn’t Congress move it’s ass and roll up it’s sleeves and go to work, instead of inter party fighting, bickering and stalemating each other? 4) Do we need politicians sent to The House and Senate who won’t compromise and try to kill anything the other party puts forward, no matter if it’s good or not for the American People? 5) Why isn’t Congress doing what Roosevelt did, create jobs, instill pride, build factories and encourage innovation to lead to success, what is wrong with our system today? Someone please explain to me why America is failing it’s own lower class and middle class and only enriching the upper class? Since when did America become a society and a country just for the upper-class? Some Please explain?

          I was born in 1956, and raised in the crazy 1960s and 1970s. When I was a child kids read books, and comic books, they play tag, hide and seek and other games outside, not sitting in front of a television playing video games or in front of a computer screen! In the 1960s, when a child was hurt it didn’t matter what color their skin, or what sex, it was a child and everyone defended and helped that child!  People had an attitude of one for all and all for one back then, what the hell has happened to America?  If a Person had a flt tire back then as they drove somewhere, people would ask if they needed help and help if they could, today it doesn’t happen that way. Get a flat tire today and you sit tilla tow truck comes or you change it yourself and people fly by in their cars never thinking twice about you. Sad isn’t it?

Back in the 1960s and 1970s someone was hungry, people would buy them a meal and help them, today no way. Are Americans so self -absorbed now they just don’t give a damn anymore? Seems it to me, seems that Americans have gone from the we society to the me society, who gives a shit about the next person! Everything is me, me, me, I want, I want, I want, greed has entered the equation of life so bad in America, people kill each other over video game consoles and video games, sad huh!

In the end, I will give you an example of what I mean. The other day, I drove down to a mall here in Connecticut, standing on a corner was a Father, his wife and a little boy holding a sign, Help Us, we have no home , food , Please! Big Sign he held up and people flew by in cars no one looking or paying attention! Why? To help the guy I gave him a twenty dollar bill and said buy some food and feed your kid and wife. I told him to go to a shelter and get help, no one else did! Back in the 1960s, I was stung by a bee, in a project in the North end of waterbury. I cried I was young maybe 5 years old, I am white folks, and a black woman, who was the kindest woman I ever meet, ran out her front door and helped me. She looked at the sting, calmed me and put a mud pack on it, and it sucked the stinger out of me! She didn’t have to do it, she did it because she cared and wasn’t worried about color, status or anything else. Isn’t it great to know someone cared back then!  What happened?

 Here is the final question Americans, can we as a United people get back together, and care about one another again and move America forward, together for all?

     October is here folks, yep it’s fall time and the weather is changing, the temperatures are dropping and so are the leaves! Baseball Playoffs will begin, and Football is a Sunday mainstay  each weekend for many. But the economy is not changing much, times are rough all around for the MIddle-Class and the Lower Class. The Upper-Class, has money and doesn’t care about the rest of us for sure, so we struggle on in an economy bogged down by a loss of jobs, and flowing cash is hard to find. When will it change folks, when will the middle class and the lower class get a chance to live again in America? 

As Factories close each day, so do brick and mortar stores it seems. We lost Caldors, we lost Bradlees, we are losing KMart next in December, so it goes to prove folks, money is tight. Sears is in trouble, JC Penny is in trouble too, is it the death of the brick and mortar store era? Stores like Best Buy struggle daily and so do so many others what the hell is going on? And why is it all happening? Someone should tell people to stop building stores and malls, you can build them all you want folks, but if no one has money to spend they are good for nothing more than an attraction for people to walk in!

I figured I would air that rant for now today, I mean isn’t it crazy, no factories, no jobs for the blue collar class, and no way for them to be accepted into the white collar class without tons of education and licensing crazy isn’t it. From the early 1900s till in the early 1990s factories and their workers held the american economy up and gave people places to earn money and survive. Today those same factory workers who are blue collar workers can’t find a job and are living month to month or week to week on  almost nothing and hurting. Can’t Congress extend Unemployment benefits and help these people by creating jobs or retraining them for the white collar jobs available so they can at least compete and survive? Why doesn’t Congress react and move? I wonder this everyday as I drive through cites in Connecticut like Waterbury, Bridgeport  , Seymour, Ansonia and West  Haven and New Haven and such! Why, are our cities and towns falling down, simple people have no place to work and are hanging in the streets, and begging for money and help and no one listens.  I see homeless standing on corners begging for food, shelter, and a place to work, why? Someone should tell Uncle Sam and Connecticut to help these folks, they need shelter and food and a place to survive!

      September 30th 2014 is here folks, which means the Fall is coming and the cold here in New England too. Yes I know too many don’t want to hear it, but tomorrow is indeed October 1st, 2014. Which bring the dreaded winter closer and the fun of summer further away. The kids are back in school, the stores are starting Holiday Sales, and in the end we are closer to the election cycle than ever before. As my dad once told me the clock stops for no one folks, no matter is you live or die!

October brings to me questions regarding politics and the United States future, whose hands will America put itself in? Good Question right folks? Will the Republicans who have stymied the government stay in power in the House? Will we allow republicans to control both the Senate and The House and oppose any movement forward by the country, any longer? You tell me folks, because as I see it now America is faltering on the brink and the Republicans are responsible. They have held back every attempt to improve the country in the house and John Boehner, is their leader in the blocking brigade, Mr. Boehner believes he is doing right when in fact he is screwing the country. Representative Boehner The House Leader has to go, for he is determined to stop any progress until he gets a Republican President, and that is not happening. He pouts, he filibusters, grumbles and refuses to move on any area of importance to the American People. We need help in the economy, jobs,health care, yes Obamacare can be improved, and should not be dismantled it has helped millions. So why is Mr. Boehner so set in his ways, simple, he is like a spoiled child who can’t have it any other way but his own. Mr. Boehner this is America, we are a republic, and a democracy not a John Boehner World Amusement Park, wake the hell up or get out of office. Americans should remove Mr. Boehner from his post as majority Leader and Leader of the House, and remove him from office for lack of action, and bad choices. he is not helping the American people, he is hurting us all, with his lack of action program.

As the year progresses, 2014 is now becoming critical to the country in a couple of ways. 1) Politics and who will lead this country is coming up in November and we need changes now! A divided Congress where the Democrats control the Senate and Republicans the house does not work folks. What is happening is simple, for instance here is a bill put forward by democrats, nope so the Republicans, then here is one put forward by republicans, nope say the democrats sad isn’t it, so the country stagnates due to it all. Why, do we as the American People have to put up with this shit, we don’t folks, vote and change the status of the House and Congress in general, one party or the other but vote and lets do it. If a democrat is gonna win in 2016 for President, then lets help him or her with a rebuilt Congress. Lets not let this stagnation, and arguing continue to hurt us all.

Someone forgot that Americans don’t want wars anymore and, now we have become a policing nation for other nations what the hell for? I believe we must fight Isis no doubt there, I agree. But, lets get the hell out of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan please. Lets pull our people back, and take our weapons with us too, don’t leave them behind. I will say this once again folks, we failed to police Korea, we failed to police Vietnam. we created numerous Disabled Veterans and lost millions of lives, lets stop doing this shit. If Korea wants to me communist let them, same with Vietnam, Iraq,Iran and Afghanistan, I don’t care, let them mind their own and not attack the world and we will mind our own here. we can not afford to keep trying to police a world that does not want us there, we should stop and reevaluate period. for a continue policing of the world is weakening american in stature, prestige and honor in the world’s eyes, both home and abroad!

If the politicians who run America want to work on something, work on the American Economy, work on improving Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Education, and The Veterans. Work on whats needs done here to strengthen the country we live in, not someone else’s. Wake the Hell UP!

As we go forward toward the 2016 Presidential Election, which is sure to start soon enough, as all the Candidates line up in each party now, we must make intelligent choices, we must make choices that will move America forward and keep us in peace, yet improve our Economy, Education,Jobs and Health Care. we must attack the problems at home before we solve the world’s problems for them, we can lead yes, we just can’t give all and police everyone at once.We need a Leader who can take charge, who can direct us in the direction of improving America and caring for it first and foremost. We need a leader not afraid to rebuild Manufacturing, not Afraid to improve Obama Care, not afraid to say the Veteran’s Hospitals need more more and people to care for our Veterans. we We need a leader who believes in discipline, and strength and honor one who can stand tall and face other Leaders as a Leader and Partner. We need a President folks who has political knowledge, ideas to improve the country and a backbone to defend it and plans to do it all in four years time. My belief is we need Hillary Rodham Clinton as President and a First man for a change, with knowledge and advise for his wife, we get two for one if we get Hillary, lets do it folks, get Hillary to Run and get her Elected President!
