Las Vegas, Nevada, The Shootings has no rhyme or reason to them, the people who died had no reason to die, and the weapons used should have never been sold to the shooter. This Country and our House and Senate should ban bump stocks, automatic weapons and explosives from being sold to anyone, except for military purposes. This is a mass shooting that makes no sense to anyone and as authorities search for a motive by this killer, we all must remember this shooter was unbalanced, sick and mentally demented to even want to do such a thing. The sad part is no investigation of the crime it self will really help the families of those who died for there is no peace when you lose family without a reason or ahead of the time they should go.

I call upon Americans as a whole all colors, races, creeds to stop sales of automatic weapons and bump stocks, and to raise the requirements to own a gun, period. The families of those that died, understand as I do that this should have never happened in America and no matter if they find a motive for it or not, it is depraved, demented and an act of violence that should never have been done.

I offer my condolences to the families of the victims, and hope in someway, they can find peace and comfort in the memories of those they lost, for what more do they have. As to Justice seize everything worth anything that this shooter had and disperse it among the victims families and never mention his name again. he should be cremated and forgotten and never mentioned publicly again. I feel for his family, those who had no idea what he was doing and did. he never thought about his victims and didn’t realize his own family and siblings who were his last name will have to live with it forever staining their names.

My anger and sadness is that the facts say this could have been prevented, if Congress and The President of The United States had balls enough to stand up to the gun lobbyist, and manufacturers and sellers and stop the sales, all would still be with us. Gun Conventions and shows should be halted, Sales of Automatic weapons should be banned and so should bumper stocks. I have fired Machine guns, pistols, rifles and thrown hand grenades, and .45 caliber weapons and shotguns and.22s. let me say this, for hunting and self protection you need no more than a single shot weapon, Automatic weapons are for mass shootings and war folks. Have your Congressman, Senator and ask the President to ban all Automatic Weapons and ban bumper Stocks and make them all illegal and pull them from the public market. Mass murder is sad folks for all the families of the victims and those of us who understand the pain and sadness and unnecessariness of these murders, Please, Please do something Congress, Senate and President now!.

 

 

I wrote a little story I called Ivan Ratoski recently. I will post it here for anyone who reads my blog. I did turn it into a small Kindle Book for sale for .99 cents a copy. I know it will more than likely not sell, but it was fun making it up is all.

 

Ivan Ratoski

1

Below the streets of New York City, run the sewers, filled with the waste of humans, who rule the city. In one hub of the sewers the central hub, is a being no one knows or has seen. He lives in silence and hunts for food daily through the sewers and byways under the city. How he came to be here is a story in and of it, Ivan is not a human being, he is a rat, but an intelligent one, who tries to accept he is a rat, and works to build his own little empire of rats. The rats obey him and they listen when Ivan speaks in rat language, that they can understand, he tells then how to scavenge for food, where to hide, how to survive and knows the system of sewers like the back of his hand. Ivan is like a King of Rats, for he is the only intelligent one in the sewers. How did Ivan, get intelligent what happened to him and when?

Ivan was born in the winter, and his parents lived under a tower in the sewer beneath the Trump Towers. One day, as his parents were mating, a flush found its way to them, and it was full of human make sperm, barely alive and flushed with the waste. It hit his parents at the exact moment Ivan was conceived and comingled with the rat DNA that makes up Ivan. From the moment of his birth Ivan was different period, although he or his parents or any other rat never understood why. As Ivan grew he leaned faster, than all the rest of the rats, survived better by instincts not usually in rats. He then began thinking at a faster rate than any rat ever could before. He earned the byways of the sewers, and the other rats just naturally flocked to follow him.

Ivan was a superior rat in all ways, brain function, prowess, and his retaining of events and memory for a rat was unbelievable. Ivan led his fellow rats to the center hub and made them a home there in his own way, each rat would forage for themselves of course and take chances of being caught and killed or poisoned, but Ivan led on anyway. He seemed capable of avoiding the normal traps and fall and fails of the rat race. He looked before moving and he never ran in panic. Ivan was living a life no rat knew, for he had more food and a home of his own. Any fights between Ivan and other rats, he won period because he was faster and stronger and smarter, the other rats had instincts of rats, Ivan had those of a human being. It was like Ivan was a human being trapped in rat form.

Ivan grew fast and by nature and animal instinct alone he became the leader of the packs under the city, and with his additional human instincts built in, he found he could leave the sewers and roam the city and do as he pleased, he learned to avoid poisons and traps also. He smelled first and examined before he ate anything, and he taught his fellow rats to do the same in his pack. His pack grew in numbers, and of course, they all followed the smartest and biggest by nature.

Ivan and his packs would scour the city by sewer routes, finding the Chinese and other restaurants, they favored for food and avoiding humans was a second nature to Ivan. The rats scurried behind him as heled them to meal after meal. Ivan knew he was the head rat, I was in a restaurant in New York City one day, when I noticed the rats scurrying with purpose and all following this rat who was bigger and leading the way. I wondered how the rat got that big, and that smart to avoid all traps and poisons and so much more it was doing. I studied it and followed it and Ivan which is the nickname I gave him, always acted with purpose. I was surprised as I started to follow this big rat and his packs when they showed up in New York. Ivan as I saw him was one smart and tricky rat, very careful in all he did with his pack. So, this rat caught my attention, and I began to follow and record its activities and routes, and try to find out where he came from and how. I couldn’t believe it but I was now myself a rat investigator and studier of this rat. Ivan was indeed unusual and different as a rat, and I wanted to know why, which is why I followed him, investigated him and tried to find out why!

One day as I saw this rat I called Ivan, he was leading his pack of rats, again a cat in an alley. The cat was outnumbered by dozens of these rats as Ivan squealed out what looked like directions to his pack the cat, was trapped and helpless as the rats bit it from each side when he turned they got him from the back or side and then backed off. Ivan watched and joined in as needed to help and after about five minutes the cat had enough and jumped up on a fire escape and ran away into the night. When the cat leaped the rats fell into a loose line and followed the leader, right back into the nearest sewer grate and disappeared and Ivan as I called him led the way of course. Amazingly, I noticed how all the rats in the pack followed him straight into that sewer and never once did any of them wander off or hesitate. This rat Ivan as I called him proved himself very smart for any rat and quite a leader of the pack. But how did he get so damn smart and such a great leader? I kept watching and every now and then, over the next thirty days, I watched Ivan and his pack when I saw them, each time it was clear which rat was leading.

I set out of course after witnessing Ivan in action, to try to catch this rat I called Ivan, I set traps for him, and it seems he avoided them each time, I did. He grew bigger and smarter and although he looked like a rat in all ways he was bigger and smarter than all of them. So I decided to track him down and try to find where he actually stayed and how and why? I gathered special equipment and lights, and protective equipment and found the main sewer grate Ivan led his pack to each time he escaped leading them. I was about to enter the maze of sewers that only rats go into, and all to find out about this one great, smart, big rat, I was curious of course, but, I had never seen a rat that grew or acted like Ivan, they were usually mindless creates with no cares. In Ivan’s case he was so much more and I knew it Ivan as I named him, Ivan Ratoski why did I name him, well he seemed more intelligent than any other rat, was leader of his large pack and seemed to have a purpose. I wanted to find out what his purpose was for sure so I investigated and followed and mapped his movements on a map of New York’s City sewer system and did a three dimensional map also of where he appeared on the streets and buildings. What did I find out, well that is amazing.

Ivan it turns out was one smart rat, he found food and broke into buildings to eat what he wanted, pack and all. He avoided rat traps and poisons too, he also seemed to smell gun power and ammo from guns. Hi pack was amazing in following him everywhere. They followed him above as well as below ground, as I found out one day, when I went down in the sewers and spotting the large pack heading by where I entered. He was scurrying his whole pack to found then onto a mission of tearing down a structure in his way. They gnawed and gnawed at the structure’s key foundations over time each day, until finally it came crashing down, so Ivan could get up on it and reach for the food. It was amazing to watch as all these rats worked with one another till it worked. When the structure fell, Ivan immediately bounded up the lowest side and into it and started tossing food out for his pack. It was like he was big daddy of all rats. Each time I followed Ivan and his pack he seemed to have a different mission set for the pack, and they did it, by gnawing thru or around what they could until they gained entrance or brought it down to their level. How did Ivan know all he did was beyond my ability to consider, but he did, I knew then and there when I saw it all, that I would have to find a way to capture Ivan and then get blood samples from him and a DNA Sample to figure it all out. It would take scientific methods to trap Ivan, for he was one smart rat.

I hired exterminators first to try and trap him without killing him, glue traps, human traps and cages and he avoided all of them.  They tried to entice him with food, but Ivan wouldn’t take the bait, he avoided it all and watched as members of his pack died in his place. He held back and let them try it. He seemed to know before he got caught.

One day, Ivan was scurrying around under Trump Tower in the sewers, and I was in the sewer watching again. Ivan then went thru the bottom of Trump Tower and into the structure I saw him enter. He didn’t come out for days, I know cause I put a small digital camera on record right there. When he did the time and date was recorded, I was amazed he had found the same opening to come back out, it was obvious he had a memory and ability no other rats ever had. He even seemed to recognize the camera and look at it each time he came and went. I was intrigued for sure; I wondered how a rat could be so smart and wanted badly to capture him for sure.

Finally I had a friend who I called and told about Ivan, he was a veterinarian and he understood animals well. He told me that. I may want to set up an electronic type trap for Ivan to capture him, to be triggered and closed when he wandered in, by an electric beam. I was sure this would work so I set it up, with his help under Trump Tower. Unbeknownst to Trump the owner of the Tower, he had no idea he had rats in his gilded gold tower, no one had seen them, so Ivan was avoiding people inside the building. I brought the fact to Donald Trump’s attention one day in the lobby of his tower; Mr. Trump said he would hire exterminators to rid the building of the infestation. I didn’t argue or say a thing more for Mr. trump believes he knows it all, plus I wanted to see how Ivan would avoid survive the attempt to kill his and his pack. I set cameras up and recorded the entries of Ivan and his pack of rats, time and time again as they came and went, and never once did any of the rats die, I could count them on the camera saves and frames. Always the same number of them. I was once again amazed, at Ivan’s ability to avoid all the dangers and to still do as he pleased in Trump Tower. Yes Trump Tower was infested with rats, just like his Presidential Administration would be. It was sad to see. SO how would I catch Ivan to see what made him different from all the other rats, well I had to devise a trap big enough and hidden enough so Ivan couldn’t see or realized what it was. I did this, by using a garbage can heavy caged wire mesh and a sliding gate to slam down behind him. I placed the trap in such a way as Ivan couldn’t avoid it in his path of travels. Steel will hold any animal and this trap was all steel, and operated by red laser beams, producers stationed in such a way that as soon as Ivan broke a beam in the trap it would immediately slam close. I had Ivan finally a week after I set it, I found him trapped in the cage one evening. And I didn’t want him dead I wanted samples so, I took DNA samples and blood work and then I let Ivan go again. I released him under Trump Tower in the sewers and Ivan ran off fast as hell and back into the Tower itself. Now I was interested in finding out what I could from my samples, so I left and went to a lab and turned them in for testing I would have to wait a good month for full results. I would be shocked by the results for sure, and amazed, how it had happened I had no real idea but it did. What was it, well I am not sure you would believe it barely could when I saw it.

The DNA Sample and blood work showed Ivan to be part human, a small part, but it was there. I stared at the data, and wondered how the hell a rat could be part human, was there a way it could be so. I talked to scientist, and some of the best animal doctor minds in the world, they all said one thing, there had to be a way, a human being’s sperm connected with the rat upon conception. The answer lays in the sewers of New York City, where the waste of humans flow freely and where Ivan was born. Human male sperm had Connecticut with a female rat under the city. Live male sperm had survived being flushed by a human male and hit at the precise moment of conception entering the female rat. Ivan was the result. Yes, New York City had millions of masturbating human males, and one of them had strong enough sperm it survive and created Ivan.

I was astounded and shocked and in disbelief, but it had happened. Ivan would survive for an unbelievable 5 years, in the sewers under Trump Tower and New York City, his remains would be found lying in the street outside Trump Tower, and of course no one paid one bit of attention. But I give you this, did Ivan mate and if so was his DNA passed on to his offspring, and if so how many brilliant, part human rats are roaming under New York City and under Trump Tower these days or in the Tower itself. You tell me folks! We do know one rat, in my opinion came out of Trump Tower and went to the White House don’t we? Hehehehe!

 

I tire of Presidential Advisors and Cabinet Members in the Trump Administration, blaming the prior Administration under Obama for something or anything it can. They point fingers and say it’s Obama’s fault and his people for ever god damn thing they can, the truth is they are doing nothing, period.  It’s a sad world, especially in America when Secretaries of State and others call the President a moron and get away with it. Others use planes for private and business trips at the public’s expense and on our dime. These things have never happened in American history nor would any other Administration except Trump’s attempt them. It’s sad!

North Korea builds it’s nuke program, and Iran too and nothing is done to stop it all. Why? Other nations look at the United States for leadership and support and America does not provide any under Trump he can’t even lead himself, so how can he or we lead the world for any purpose? The United States is like a rudderless ship in the ocean, bobbing among the waves and barely staying afloat these days.

Trump promised jobs, where are they? trump promised Health Care Affordable for all and a border wall, nope none of that at all!  Now  he is promising tax reform for all and that it will save the lower income and middle class money, fact is the package is written for millionaires and above not you or me folks. Read it! It will save Trump Billions, not you or I, he and his cronies ,rich buddies will benefit from it all. He doesn’t care if your poor, unhealthy, hurting ask the Puerto Rican state and it’s people, ask the Floridians and Texans who were suppose to get Federal help and relief and they will tell you, minimum is what they get. It’s as sad as we can get, and what’s worse is we have to last and survive under this Administration until 2020.

The Senate and House are both lazy worthless people these days who do no real work and push around false bills and laws for vote to say they did something, when in fact no one is creating a damn thing to help you or me, in law form, bill form or assistance form. They don’t care about you or I the poor, the disabled, the lower class or the hurting financially or health wise, why because they are getting their part of the pie just being in office. And as long as we the people let them they will do nothing and collect salaries they shouldn’t making them members of the upper class in America and lining their pockets at our expense. It is a sad world in America and other nations are noticing our weakness, and our stupidity and moronic President and how we are not taking care of our people. We are not the world leader in anything, anymore and it is getting worse not better under Trump.

 

 

 

 

 

Everything in life depends on perception and what we do about it. We perceive something in one way or another and then we translate it through what we have been taught since birth. Sadly we are not all taught the same, or raised under the same customs or methods, so we perceive thing differently.

I was born in the 1950-s when  times were far different than today. I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s folks, we had the best of everything America could offer. Inventions were left and right and so were jobs, money flowed and we grew up in a society where we were taught to get along with everyone, no matter race, color, background. And we did it, I trie of today’s racial wars and complaints and arguments, for back then if a child was in trouble it didn’t matter what color race, creed, they were protected by all.

I grew up in the Projects of Waterbury, Connecticut in it’s North End, where all had to get along or fight until you did. We all lived in the same neighborhood, we all attended the same schools, the same churches and hung out on the same streets. We all bleed the same color red and no one cared what color you were, we all  were in one big pot of togetherness.You had friends of each race, color and creed because of it too and you got along, because you played together, your lived next to each and you understood all are human beings and if you didn’t well you got your ass whipped. Period!

We had an era of the greatest music, the greatest everything you could name, cars, jobs, food, and the greatest economic boom in history. Parents didn’t use computers or video game console to babysit their kids, they used humans who were family and friends. We didn’t sit in front televisions and watch shows all day and night, or play games on consoles, our parents threw us outside and said go play with friends. Go play sports, have fun and come home for supper, we were told to do our homework every night and taught manners too. What happened to those days folks, please tell me?

Now I am in my sixties, and I see America crumbling around me, jobs disappeared and went overseas and did not come back, kids are rude, crude and indifferent and have no idea what manners are. White, Blacks and Hispanics all races seem to fight and not get along why? What is wrong with them these days? I don’t give two shots folks what color or nationality or creed you are, if you treat me with decency and manners you will get the same in return. That is how it should be for all in America and the world if you ask me. I don’t bother you, you don’t bother me and we live in peace and prosperity, yet we have protests and fights over the dumbest shit in the world.

I want to say this to all because I think in America it needs to be said now. Please Listen closely, I served 16 years in the military service of my country to protect and preserve the nation, the constitution, the bill of rights and all Americans from attack by any powers not ours. I gave those 16 ears not for my own well being, but to protect all Americans including my own family and relatives and yours too. I suffer because I did so and had an accident and now pay for it with six herniated discs in my back for the rest of my life, yes I am a Disabled American Veteran and Proud of it too. In the military, you learn quickly color, race, creed mean nothing except your an American, and you there to work as a team to defend and protect the country you believe in, America. You respect, the American Flag for you salute it each day and strive to protect all who live under it. I worked with all races and colors doing so and I am proud I did and they should be too, so don’t tell me about color barriers please they don’t count and will disappear under attack or battle lines. As they should of course, but now I want to point out something more here.

The United States of America was built and created for equality for all for all religions, races and creeds. But the Forefathers who created it, were not perfect at all and they all had their faults in one way or another. We all know this, and as America grew, we also learned as did the Government of the country that slavery was wrong and a battle was fought over the issue and slavery was ended in America period, Abraham Lincoln made sure of it and gave his life for it folks. We know the facts ok, we also know, The South was wrong to try to keep slavery and The Northern part of this great Union insured it ended. Now that was the 1800’s and before people so stop and think of the time now passed since then. The 1860s are a long time gone. We have passed through the rest of that century and into the 20th and now the 21st century wake up. I know the African american population of American is still angry over the slavery issue, but, you all need to be reminded the people who live today, white black, hispanic oriental or any other races creed of color in America today, are not the forefathers nor did we live in those days, nor are we all related to those same individuals who believed in slavery.

My parents were born and raised right here in Connecticut for instance, children of immigrants just like many others where they came from two different nations to America for peace, prosperity and to survive. My mother’s side were french Canadians who came down to america, my father’s were Scotlanders who came for the same purpose, they all arrived in the early 1920s, eighty some odd years after the slaves were freed. My family has no history of treating blacks as slaves and we never would. So please stop blaming all whites for slavery, we were not all slave owners nor do we treat blacks any different than whites or hispanics or anyone else today. We believe in equality period, for we were raised that way. Stop thinking all white are responsible for slavery and blaming all of us please, many of us didn’t have a damn thing to do with it, most of us. I hope I have made that clear now.

Next subject, the protests of the NFL Players, I want to say this to the NFL Players Association, The Players themselves and the League as a whole. I believe in the right for all to speak their minds and protest is they wish to, and I have no objection to you all doing so, I do have an objection to the way it is being done. You want to kneel fine please stop doing it during our National Anthem, it upsets me, upsets all Veterans Disabled and Honorably Discharged who served their country. KNeel befor eit or after it in protest not during it please. In my opinion and many Veteran’s opinions also and many other americans too, you are disrespecting the flag, the country and the idea of our nation and what it means to all of us. Please have a respect for The Nation, The Anthem, The Flag and those of us of all colors, races and creeds who have served to give you the right to protest and live free in America. Without our sacrifices of our lives, health and time to serve and protect you, you wouldn’t have the right to even play the game you do, or make the money you do playing football, professionally. We who served gave, you that right, to be educated, and to be free to do so, at our expense. Please respect those of us who did so and not kneel during the National Anthem.

To Mr. Colin Kaepernick, Sir, I believe in your right to protest, I really do, I do not believe in your choice at do it the way you choose. I think you will also find, the NFL Owners, who will not hire you as a QuarterBack, do so because of the choice you made how you protested, disrespecting the Flag and The Nation that gave you the right to do so. I think Colin Kaepernick, you need to stand up, ask the NFL Players to stop kneeling during the Anthem and be man enough to admit you made the wrong choice. As far as you playing in the League again goes, I believe without doing what I am saying here and suggesting to you, you may never again hold a NFL position as a Quarterback. It’s your choice in what you do, but I think you will find, that all Veterans White Black, Oriental, Hispanic and all Americans who served and serve today would like you to stop the protests and be man enough to do so.

Colin Kaepernick should be given a new chance to play in the NFL. There is no doubt in my mind he has better QB abilities then EJ Manual, and more than likely some others who are starting for a few teams. he can run and pass on the run and his accuracy is better than many. What he needs is a team with enough balls to pick him up and give him a job. Kaepernick protested the way he did because he believed black people were being mistreated in America, and many black people agreed with him. But the method he choose was wrong and inappropriate, especially in my opinion as a Disabled Veteran who served 16 years so he can have the rights to do so.

That said, Kaepernick has better skills as a Quarterback then numerous current starters  on NFL Teams now out there. If a team has an injured Quarterback like Oakland they need a proven commodity at the position to win, no matter if they brought beast mode back or not. They should give him a try out and a chance and let him play. I believe in rights and the constitution, while many believe he is being punished for his protests of kneeling for the National Anthem, it needs to be shown that that is not why he is not playing today. A move like his protest, tears through the NFL because the league is about 70 percent black and it is understandable, but it was also a danger to team unity. That may be why Kaepernick is not getting a chance to play, but, if it is, it is wrong to do. Banning him for his protest actions is not the way to prove a point or attempt to stop players from kneeling. For we all have the right to protest in America no matter what the protest is about, but to do so during the National Anthem is wrong for the player sand the NFL as an Organization and company is wrong to allow it, it disrespects what the american Flag stands for, and it disrespects us Veterans both Disabled, and healthy who served and protected their rights as well as all Americans. Look it is one thing to protest, it is another thing to disrespect all who served and believe in the country you live in, and you never served yourself. at least think about it. Did you give time to serve, sweat, blood, pain, did you fight to protect and defend this country, no we did the Veterans of all kinds.

To Colin Kaepernick I say this, Colin it is time for you to step up and speak up and stop this protest action in the NFl, for the fans, the players, the league and yourself. Ask the Players to stop the protesting, be a bigger man and admit it has gone too far, ask them to stand again and make it right. For in doing so, Colin you will show yourself a bigger man and person, and be doing what is honorable and right and you may even get called for a chance to play again. If not, I think you won;t get a chance to play again, because you will be judged as doing the wrong thing and not being man enough to stop and change it.

Racial Divides, I hear this language and phrase used a lot in America, by both sides black and white, and I tire of some of the bullshitt hat comes out about it all. Racial divides are not just wrong they are stupid and i will tell you why here and now.

Your skin color doesn’t make you better or worse then the other skin color and it shouldn’t period. We are all human beings, who want respect and dignity for ourselves. The truth is we are all flesh and blood, we bleed red when cut, we die when shot, we laughed when happen and we fear the same stuff. Lets face it America is a pot of different colors, races, creeds and backgrounds and that is how it has always been. I listened to and watched the conversations on CNN about race, the national anthem,American pride and saw Spike Lee on air. I want to say this to you Spike Lee, and please listen first before you rattle off and get all upset. The American people fought their war to free the slave way back now under a real President in LIncoln and all men are equal in America period, do you hear me. We have come a long way from the days of the slaves being brought here and owned and used. I know that the caucasian race in America is responsible for bringing African Americans here against their will and that it was just plain wrong. I also know, that we fought our Civil War not just over freeing the slaves, but over other political differences between the North and South also. I know and understand the history of America very well sir, and I think I will leave you with this message. I care not if your caucasian, african american,oriental, or hispanic, if you live in America and enjoy the constitutional freedoms and rights in the Constitution and the Boll of Rights then you should honor the Americans who died to get us here and the color of your skin has not a thing to do with it. All Americans regardless of color or race or creed, fought to make America and then includes in it’s Revolutionary Days, it’ Civil War both World Wars and so much more. all have the same rights. Yet when we talk kneeling for the National Anthem at FootBall Games , Baseball Games or any other sports platform or event, we are talking about honoring those who died to get us here today. We are not talking about one Quarterback in the NFL without a job anymore here, we are talking about national pride and respect and unity in America. We are talking about, a protest that has actually gone far too far and should stop, and not continue, not just because Trump says so, but because you are destroying the national pride and unity of the country over the job of one Quarterback in the NFL. That’s why it should stop and people should stop and think before they play a national sport on a national stage in America about those who sacrificed to let them do so. As to Colin Kapernick and his protesting the way he did and those who have done so since, I believe a single protest is one thing , making a statement is one thing carrying it to a point where it becomes disturbing not only to NFL customers and fans but to the general public as a whole is too much. Look, I believe in equality for all and always have and always will, ever since I was a child and a nice woman who happened to be a an african american I lived next to in the projects I was raised in, helped a little caucasian boy overcome a bee sting. I went to Elementary school and high school with all races and colors and never once had a problem. I served my country for 16 years in three different branches of service, Mr/ Lee, and let me tell you in the middle of battle or in the middle of a war zone or mission or purpose protecting and defending America the color of skin never comes up as an issue, You know why Sir, because we are all Americans, we are all together to defend and protect the country and flag and nation we believe in. Before all of this issue came up over Colin Kapernick and his kneeling protest, if you went to a NFL Game or any other sports event in a public arena Sir, and looked around you, all stood for the National Anthem and were proud to do so regardless of the color or race they were, why, because nowhere else in the world, do they have such a pot full of different races, colors and creeds who have lived together and overcome their differences to unite under one flag.

Before I close Mr. Lee, let me say this, I admit the Forefathers of America made many mistakes in building this country. Yes it is the caucasian race who dragged african men and women to this country on boats against their will and enslaved them, I like all before me who are honest admit this because it is a historical fact. We  fought to overcome it in our Civil War, and we set all free then under President Abraham Lincoln. I know, many believe the african americans and hispanics and others do not have equal right like you do Mr. Lee, but I also know it is not every Caucasian who is responsible for what you are saying. My ancestors didn’t come to America, nor were they here when this deed was done, they came in the early 1900’s by boats from Scotland and Canada, for freedom and expression of their freedoms and religious rights and for an opportunity to expand and keep their families going in freedom. So please don’t tell me about one man, who doesn’t have a job in the NFL and tell me it is because of his skin color or his stance in protest, because it’s not. Colin Kaperneck did what no team player should do Sir he divided his team, his fans and the nation on an issue no one in America should be divided on National Pride and Respect for those who died to make America what it is, a free country with rights for all. SO please don’t tell me, Colin Kaperneck is a great Quarterback, and should be playing he broke a sacred rule Sir of team sports he divided his team and the fans and owners and now the nation over this issue, of respect for the American Flag and the Nation itself.

I do not agree with President Trump sticking his nose into this issue and asking for Owners to fire players who take a knee for the Anthem. I also don’t agree with the taking of a knee at that time at a public sport/ game. Yet I understand and believe in their right to do so, but before you do players and owners, stop and think, are you disrespecting the American Flag and The constitution and the Military families and members of all races, creeds and color who defended and currently are defending your right and way of life in the world? Do you have friends or family, of any kind in your own past family history who fought and served this country? If so aren’t you disrespecting then too? And these questions have nothing to do with color, creed, origins, nationality or anything else except one thing America, remember this One Nation Under God Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All.

There does come a time in history for all to unite and be one once again no matter what our differences and that’s where we should all be and what we should all do. The statement has been made, Kaperneck made it and did it well as did all the other players who did so too of all colors. There comes a time to end it though and move on for the important thing to remember is American is a kettle full of all kinds, stewing together in one pot and fighting between the ingredients in that pot will not help the nation, but will destroy it. Lets not go there please! All Respect to you Spike Lee, for your opinions and beliefs and for being the man you are to speak up about all you do, but, I also am an American, A Disable Veteran and Proud of My Country and Flag and all in it, and have defended it, I do not believe the disrespectful act of kneeling during a National Anthem at an open Sports Arena is correct or right. Sorry.

 

Trump and the NFL Protesters is all a joke in my book. This President Trump, should have a lot more to e concerned about than whether NFL Players sit, kneel or stand during the National Anthem  at games that’s for sure. The right to do and say what you want in America is included in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, Mr. Trump, wake up and stay the hell out of it. You have so many issues to face and take care of, how the hell can you say you have lots of time?

North Korea is going nuke, the Afghanistan war is escalating under your term, Iran is making nukes and all of them are laughing at America under you!

Hurricanes have ravaged and destroyed Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Florida and Texas and you do nothing to extend a helping hand or have any empathy or care about it all. Why is that Mr. Trump, why are you fanning the flames of a racial war in America with your rhetoric  and big mouth? What is wrong with this picture?

The Investigation into Russia’s involvement in our 2016 election is picking up steam now. Mr. Mueller is digging and he will get the truth, in financial records and testimonies of individuals involved. You can run Mr. Trump. You can try to hide but you will be caught up in it no doubt in my mind. Manafort, Stone, Donald Jr,. Kusner, all will be caught up in it and you will be responsible for destroying their lives, as well as your own and your daughter Ivanka’s too.  It was and will always be a sad day in American History the day you were elected President and sworn in. You can’t write a law, you can’t write a bill, you can’t fix healthcare, or repeal Obamacare and your not creating jobs at all, what the hell are you doing? Nothing, taking weekend trips to New Jersey, New York and Florida when you can is not saving us any money. So what the hell are you really doing, and your Republican Party, please tell us!

I think the American people need to wake up and realize Mr. Trump, as many are currently, that your a phony, a liar, a cheater and worthless as President. To me I am ashamed to call you President, your a disgrace to the American People and the nation at large.

No wall will go up between the U.S.A and Mexico because Congress is not dumb enough to give you he cash to build one. We don’t need the damn wall anyway Mr. Trump and you know it, so do all Americans. So just stop the crap and move on. Unless you want to shell out the money for the wall, the american People won’t, it won’t get done.

Now you are talking tax reform, that’s cute, but again, unless, you have a monkey wrench in your pocket and a Congressional Team in the other who can fix the current tax laws I would shut up and back off. Everything you have stated about starting you have failed at and so has the Republican Party since it came into office under you. Do the Republicans know that even if they had Paul Ryan run for President in 2020, it will never happen, no republican can win it, because of your woeful and hopeless performance, and failures, you kill the whole republican party and in 2018 midterm elections will show it big time I am sure.

So have fun with your twitter tirades and your attempts at distractions, it won’t help you or the Republican Party distract away, we know what your trying to do.

 

 

 

OK, with all that is going on in the world, why the hell is President Trump bothering with sports figures and whether they stand or kneel for the National Anthem?  Listen, President Trump, or Number 45 as I prefer to call you, leave the damn athletes alone, they have their right to protest as they please!

You need to deal with Kim Jung Un, North Korea, Missile crisis-es, weather disasters and the economy for starters.  You can’t do a damn thing about Health Care and providing for those who need the coverage, so why worry about protesters in sports idiot. They did nothing but protest, you sir are a complete failure as a President, your embarrassing to the country, and to yourself.

You can’t pass a bill or law, in 9 months in office, all the promises you made have disappeared in the wind just like the American People are now wishing you would also. Wharton Business College, is not an education for an American President that’s for sure. You lack history, you lack knowledge period, you lack social skills, manners, and you are indeed a white supremacist if I ever saw one and I am white myself. Get off your high horse you white supremacist asshole and listen up, you suck. You can’t accomplish a damn thing, because you have no idea how to compromise, ad work with others, you communication skills suck too. It was a sad, sad day when the American People let you win the White House and The Presidency and i can guarantee , the ones who voted for you are now embarrassed by their decision to do so.

As The Russian investigation continues, I am sure they will find financial links to the Russians, as well as communication between you and or your people to the Russians, used to get you elected. Sadly, it is too late now to change the fact that you are in office, all I hope now is that, when the proof comes out, it will be soon enough to impeach you and remove you from office as soon as possible.   Your a disgrace to all of America and all Americans period.

 

As 2017 rolls along too many times has President trump lied, and pulled out of deals he has no business pulling out of. He has done nothing regarding North Korea and the nuke they have now.

No Wall is being built between America and Mexico and it shouldn’t be is what I say, he wants the damn wall tell him to pay for it himself. No jobs are being created as he promised, the big deal maker has failed. He pulled out of the Paris Accord because he said climate change was a hoax put out by China, now we get hit with hurricanes like never before and no reaction. He’s not a President folks, he is a sheep in a lions clothing, hiding behind lies.

9 Months into his Presidency and he still can not fix Health Care, or repeal or replace Obamacare, and he never will, we will still have it in 2020 watch.  This man lied his way into the White House and barely got there and those who voted for him, need to slap themselves silly to realize what they did. Those who voted for Trump in 2016 should hang their heads in shame, he is not cooth enough, smart enough, he lacks manners, intelligence and abilities. He spends more time on the Golf course and out of the White House then in it. He is a sad excuse for a man, he treats women like sex toys and with total disrespect, it’s sad as all hell.

Not one bill or law has been introduced under his Presidency that can or will ever pass Congress in any area of need. He doesn’t have the people to create a bill or the knowledge to do it himself. His ideas stink, we all know it, his immigration failure is big in itself, he scares folks away but there is no law that he passed to control it, not really.

He’s a weak {resident with a big mouth and no balls, really. He sits in Office doing nothing check for yourselves, see if you can find a law, bill or plan passed that he created helped to create, nope none exist. It’s a sad time in history and the 45th President of The United States is going to go down as the President that was our worst ever. He wants to attack social security and medicare and medicaid, and take money from seniors, and the disabled and handicapped. sad. Leave it alone, you want to get money to run the government and pay the bills, tax your rich millionaire and above friends make them pay, for it all they got rich off of it. They have been hoarding the cash and have it, ask them to give back and help their country pay it’s bills. Without, this country and the way it is run and it’s economy, they would be broke. Give some back, you rich people help your nation survive.

OK, enough anger at Trump and his failures as President. Next subject, today I go back to The Veteran’s Hospital for another check-up for my lung cancer and to make sure it didn’t return. I got lung cancer in 2013. and thanks to my Primary Care Provider, she had me tested in a survey, it was removed by the Veteran’s Hospital’s Doctors who were brought in from Yale. Since they did the operation I have been fine, even though I lost a lobe and 1/3rd  in the process, so I feel blessed and that they extended my life time warranty and I thank them for that.

Each day is a new one as I live on and write and speak online, my wife is  currently a cancer victim also who went from breast cancer to bone cancer in 2016. Grants have been granted for drugs to keep her alive and with me and they seem to be holding her tumor markers at a low rate and keeping her going thank God. Cancer has followed me around from a young age when my first girlfriend was diagnosed with it, through my father dying of it, and then my step-father and mother, and now my wife and I. Sadly, you can’t escape the fates, can you, you must deal with it is all as you go along.

Finally, let me leave you with a link to my Amazon Author’s Page and my little books I have written so far. I am trying to sell them for .99 cents up to 3.99 a shot. I am hoping people will buy some and help me out with trying to survive and keep my wife going too. Thank you for reading my blog’
