Today I turn 63 years old, to me it is amazing, I always thought I would be dead and long gone by 40. I ran fast, hard, fought, loved, served and had kids. I had two of everything by 35 years old. I have lived a life of fortunate events for sure, but like everyone else I have had my bad moments and times. Yet, I am still here at 63, it is amazing!

I have always told others no matter what you do treat others decent, never hurt anyone purposely. I know for i have been hurt more than once in many ways and in the end I do what few do, but, I do it, I walk away from pain and hurt, and still survive.

MY life is filled with difficulties that’s for sure, of all kinds. Start with my birth 63 years ago, I came into the world 10 lbs 9 ounces, and basically ruin my mother from giving birth in the natural way. I was too big. I am if nothing else an ironic person for as the families biggest baby, I grew to be the smallest adult, figure that one out.

Survival, is something we all do automatically, whether your know it or out and out of desperation and need we find the ways to keep alive. I survived a mother who hated me because I looked like my father, She smacked me around to control me when, I was young because had Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity. I survived when she tried to give me away to the State of Connecticut and returned home two years later, survival!

I survived a Elementary School, that I hated and it hated me too. My fellow students hated me, attempted to beat me up and ignored me. Yet, I survived it from one to 5th grade, got put away for two years and came back and graduated it. Not bad, for I refused to give up.

I survived a step-father who beat me silly, threw me down stairs and made me work with him to rebuild a home for us to live in.He even took all my money when I had two paper routes , and I never got a dime. beating were in the basement. I did survive though. I escaped the house, found friends and used surrogate parents to keep going.

I survived the streets of my hometown when my step-father packed y stuff and threw me out into the streets in the snow too. I survived living in the YMCA for years too, and the Military for 16 years too. I slept on so many couches, I think my name was on them.

I have survived, beatings, abandonment, and survived and had one marriage with two of everything, including children. It’s amazing.

I survived and maintained my second marriage, and it is still going on 19 years later and the relationship if now over 25 years old. How is the question I would guess.

Here is my answer, determination, survival instincts, learning from others, and maybe most of all compromise. Compromise is needed in any relationship or situation folks. It we don’t compromise, we don’t survive, your marriage won’t survive, your job wouldn’t survive, your children won’t survive it all either, unless compromise is taught and done by all living beings.

Here is the point, As we age and grow older we learn, we adapt, and we compromise. We apologize for what we did wrong, we make sure we don’t do it twice, and each day is one step at a time. when you open your eyes and your still breathing, say thanks, and continue on, and remember, help those you can, when you can and how you can, for when you do die, they don’t remember the angry, they don’t remember the foolish, they don’t remember you for what you owned, for what you had, they remember you for who who cared for, how you cared for them, and what you did for others. Life is not about materialistic items one can buy, or how much money you have, those are things you accumulate over time, you will be remembered for how you treat others, and for compromising as needed with them along the way.

Each day, each week I spend now, surviving Lung Cancer, I was lucky. My wife God Bless her isa Breast Cancer Patient since 2006, it went into remission for nine years and came back worse then ever in 2015. Since then I have been taking care of her the best I can, helping her shower and dress, daily, taking her for radiation and chemo as needed. And I have not left her side, I even have been sleeping on the couch next to her as she sleeps in a recliner each night so, I won’t leave her alone. It’s been my life, sleeping on couches and caring for others, Destiny is strange and goes in circles, always remember, what goes around comes around. We live in quiet and in peace, a home, and her and I, and when something happens, well, the end comes to all doesn’t it, even us survivors!

Let’s do a reality check for 2019 so far. At least for America, we can do it simply by saying America is shutdown. Here is the biggest and saddest part of this Trump Shutdown that is happening right now.

1. Trump, shutdown the government on the grounds of needing a wall on our southern border and the democrats refusal to give him his 5.7 billion for it.
2. Purpose of said wall from Trump’s side, simple to make it harder for illegal immigrants and drugs to get into the USA. fact is by shutting down the government Trump has made it easier for people and drugs to enter the USA.
3. We have proof of the wall not being worth a dime if built, by just looking at the tunnels under the existing one, already dug. Used to bring immigrants and drugs already. No wall will stop any drugs or people, they go over, under and around anyway they can.
4. Mueller’s Russia Investigation rolls on despite Trump’s repeated calls for it to end. Mueller will not be stopped and Trump knows it, so he diverts, distracts, and tries to avoid all of it. He can’t, it’s his mess as much as the Wall mess and Shutdown is.
5. In the end let me say this, whether one news report is wrong or not exactly right, makes no difference in this case. It may make a difference to BuzzFeed and their editors as to how they vet their stories and what they do before they release them, but that’s it. The bottom line is this, the fact that such stories are being hunted down and reported about a President of The United States while he is in Office is a disgrace to America.

   These are the Indicted and Convicted Listed above, now I ask you one question, Why would all of these individuals take actions to promote and advance an American who was seekings the American Presidency? And who is lying Trump and his children or all of the above people? You tell me America?
8. Add in those yet to be indicted or convicted or arrested, Roger Stone, Jerome Corsi, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump Kushner, Jared Kushner, Eric Trump, and more we can’t even name as of yet.
9. The State of The Union of The uNited states of America, is shutdown and not running, The senate and house at a halt and unable to compromise and reopen the government. 800,000 Federal Employees out of work and not getting paid, restaurants closing and families going without food and not able to pay their bills.
10. No Healthcare being provided for the elderly or disabled in America by our Government, when we had Obama Care but Trump murdered it. Why?
11. In the end let me say this, Trump doesn’t need a 5.7 billion dollar wall on the U.S,, Mexican Border, we haven’t needed on in 242 years going on 243. What this is about is exactly what Ann Coulter told him, “Unless you build the wall, you won’t have a legacy Donald!” He wants a nice 300 foot high wall with his name on it, so he will be remembered is all whether it helps anyone or anything does not matter.
12. Trump’s Legacy will not be a big southern border wall, he will never get on Mount Rushmore as he wants, nor will he be remembered once gone as a decent President, never mind a great one.
13. Donald John Trump will go down as the most illegal President in History, he will be remembered as worse then andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton combined. he lies to the American People on average 25 times a day.
14. Articles of Impeachment should be written for the following reasons, A) Obstruction of Justice, B) Tampering with and threatening Witnesses.C) Collusion against the United States, Treason. D) Misuse of Powers.E) Breaking the Emolument Clause of the Constitution and being paid while in office by foreign powers, while in office.
15. Lack of Empathy and morals and ethics in general.

Let me say this to all Americans, I don’t care if your Democrat, republican, Independent or any other political affiliation, I don’t care if you are white, black, yellow, brown or any other color, this President is a Bigot, a racist, he’s also lost and has no idea what he hell he is doing. He doesn’t run the White house or the Government, he isn’t running anything, it’s running him. Pence speaks up when he can and directs from behind the scenes, Jared Kushner tells him what to do and he does it. he doesn’t listen to Military Advisor, his own Chief of Staff, or Secretaries. He is being run by the far right of the Republican Party, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Fox News, and such. This is the most outrageous, Presidency in the history of America.

Senator Mitch McConnell and Senator Schumer need to sit down, look at this shutdown closely, come to a compromise that will pass with a majority that can overcome a veto by Trump and reopen the Government now! If McConnell will not react and work with the Democrats, then he should be removed from office, and not reelected for another term.

To the Federal Employees, now standing in food lines and trying to pay their bills and the ones told to go back to work without pay, I say this, don’t work for no pay refuse stay home. gather together, instead of protesting at The Senate, which is good for all to see, take a trek, to Louisville, Kentucky, sit on MItch McConnell’s front lawn and outside of his home and protest, ask him for mortgage, rent and food money and child care money too. He’s rich, he has money, he is comfortable as he sits and waits for the impasse to pass on it’s own and he doesn’t give two cents about the average american.

To The TSA Employees and The Coast Guard too, stop working for free, stand down, let the airports go without security, let the coast be wide open, lets see how long the President and the Republicans will allow it. Remember if all react together, and get it down, United You Stand, Divided you fall, Stand United Stop The ShutDown Together!

As we go on in the shutdown of the American Government driven by Trump’s foolish wanting of a wall with his name on it,over 800,000 people are hurting and can’t pay their bills, including rent, mortgages and food. Some may even be forced out of their homes, due to the lack of a paycheck, caused by the Trump Shutdown, 33 days now. Does Donald Trump realize what he is doing to these people and it is now spreading, to other areas of America and its economy. How much longer and further will it go and why?

I find it amazing, that the President of the United States, Donald, J, Trump, can’t act on his own and end this madness. No he has to call Fox News for answers on what to do next and listen to people like Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity, pundits with less brains than balls, either of them. Their just talking heads Donald, they talk you listen and follow blindly and America suffers. Stupidity is what stupidity does, and it is stupid to follow Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity for advice.

We all get it now Donald Trump, you don’t want the wall for security, you want the wall because Ann Coulter told you, you will have no legacy if you don’t get the wall built, you want your Trump name and brand put on the wall for eternity. Sadly, adults don’t do things that way Donald, Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington and Roosevelt didn’t get on the anything that way and were memorialized because they cared about the people, not themselves. Martin Luther King Jr,, Medgar Evers, and other black leaders the same, they stood for equal rights and get remembered daily, you won’t Donald J. Trump because your heartless, non caring, foolish and idiotic.

As time goes on and it will, shutdown or no shutdown, you can’t build a legacy on negativity Donald. It, doesn’t give you, your legacy, and in the end you will end up in the same part of the history books as Richard M. Nixon, a criminal, who was forced to resign the Presidency. The difference is, Nixon was a better man than you can ever be, yes he overstepped and committed crimes, but in the end, he had a better stance on foreign policy and opened up China and Russia to the world. You can’t even keep workers in their jobs and the government open. Sad!

As the Mueller Investigation grinds on and more and more of your connections to Putin and Russia come to light, the conditions are getting worse for you to survive in the presidency and in America. I think you should make plans to go live in beautiful downtown Moscow Donald, that way you can see Putin daily and kiss his ass up close and personal!

You lied about where your money came from, you lied about why you didn’t serve in the military and from there it is just getting worse and adding up big time. Your not a businessman of any acclaim or skills, you can’t negotiate your way out of a bag, never mind out of a shutdown. Your books on making deals, are not really yours either, they were written by ghostwriters for you. Sad.

Your Legacy will not be tied to a big bad wall between Mexico and the United States!. Your Legacy will not be disarmament of North Korea, or the fact you withdrew us from Syria, Afghanistan or the Paris Accords or NATO, it will be one of full failure as a President and Citizen of America. Your a walking talking, lying, traitor and Colluder. Your an Obstruction of Justice, you Misuse the Powers of the Presidency to get your own way and a criminal for taking hostage over 800,000 Americans just to get your way or attempt to. And that’s even before Mueller’s Russia Report is released and completed.

My one Question for Mitch McConnell and the Republican Party is this, Do you all really think, Donald J. Trump should be your candidate for The Presidency in 2020? If you do, then you are blinder than his 35 percent followers, for 57 percent of Americans disapprove of all he does! So, Answer that one, Do you believe as a Republican Party member, that Donald J. Trump can win Reelection?

Ok, lets get some adults in Washington, DC, let’s get the damn government open, lets get people back to work, the over 800,000 workers shut out by this shutdown are hurting folks, demand some action now!

Lets react like normal human beings here and help those out of work due to Trump’s shutdown, food lines are opening, the rich who can give are giving now.

Let’s do something drastic now, Trump wants a shut down he got one and he can’t get out of it, so let’s give him a full shutdown next. Here is my thoughts on this mess.

One, no paycheck for the 800,000, then no paychecks for the Senate, The House of Representatives and the President and his Administration too. Shutdown their paychecks, make them work for free too.

Second, no agreement on a wall, is smart, no wall is needed, america and Mexico have lived border to border for 242 years and survived, the Mexicans are not invading, nor is anyone else, Trump just wants a wall, so he can put his name on it and so as Ann Coulter told him,” You will have no Legacy if you don’t get the wall built.” That is where this is coming from, it’s Trump’s reacting to Ann Coulter and Hannity on Fox News, nothing more. Trump is stuck on this stupid idea of a wall, and doesn’t realize that people go under walls, that tunnels already exist, they go over walls, they go around walls, a wall is useless. This is not the 12th century or something.

Next problem, and I am sure the most important to Donald J. Trump, the Mueller Investigation is not ending it is growing. The calls for resignation or Impeachment will get louder soon. You can’t run Donald John Trump, they will come for you soon enough. The numbers of indicted, convicted people is growing, as Mueller digs deeper into the Trump Organization’s paperwork and texts and messages and more as well as finances. All will come out, watch as it happens.

I say this now, if 31 people have been indicted already in the Russia Investigation by Mueller and his team as has happened, who is telling the truth here Trump and his children or the 31 already indicted and convicted? You tell me folks!

I remind all, Collusion is working in tandem with someone or entity, to get the results you want, Trump did so with The Russians and it is a fact. I also remind all, Read further into the definition of Collusion and you will see it is actually Treason in this case, never in American History has an American President ever stole an election using Russian Agents and Russian Rubles, it happened in 2016.

Obstruction of Justice is real in Trump’s case and proven on many fronts already. Misuse of Power is evident too, as well as his average lying to the American people on a dozen times per day.

He has destroyed the world economy and tariffed our allies not our enemies folks, that is sad.

He pulled us from The Paris Accord on Climate Control as Global Warming is apparent at its most now. He wants to pull us from NATO folks, he does that what defense is there to another Hitler?

Americans need to wake up, and step back and take off their stupid Make America Great Hats, and realize he is not making America Great, he is destroying it from within as Putin wants him to. America has always been great and always will be great, due to the strength of its people. Not because Trump says so.

Let me end with one thing here, Trump is rich folks and has been since 4 years old when his daddy gave him a million bucks. He doesn’t care if people are starving, or need help with their bills to survive, He doesn’t care how many have to go to food lines to feed their kids or themselves. He doesn’t care how many lose their homes, or can’t get health care, why cause he can and they are not his relatives, their his hostages.You don’t see the Trump Organization feeding anyone do you?

At no time in American History has any President been allowed to take Hostage the American People to get his way! If he does it once and wins he will do it again and again and so will future Presidents, it can’t be allowed!.

Call your Senators, Call your Representatives, tell them, no wall, no deals until the Government is reopened and back to work. Tell them, to force Trump to Resign or Impeach him now!

We are now in America, gearing up for an East VS West Coast Superbowl!

While both ChampionShip games went into overtime and had questionable calls in them, the Super Bowl is set, The Los Angeles Rams vs The New England Patriots. Tom Brady vs Jared Goff,, old vs young, youth versus experience.

Can there be an upset in the super Bowl, yes there can be and has been over the 52 games already played. So what makes this one special?

Let me say this, Tom Brady is back in the Super Bowl once more, and he and his team know, the true way to win a Super Bowl, is to commit and produce. You want to win in a Super Bowl you commit to giving your all on each play, you want to win you must produce on offense, get the ball in the end zone.

Now for The Rams, protect Goff at all cost, get Gurly to run and anderson too. Have Donald and that Rams Defense ready to go and at full speed. Keep the ball away from Brady and that Patriots Offense.

The real game here will be the Rams Defense vs, Brady’s and his offense. Brady must be rushed, hurried and sacked, or he will tear apart the Rams defense for many points. Keep Brady off the field and you can win, eat the clock Rams, eat the clock up.

If Brady matches the Rams Offense in time on the field he will beat the Rams. If the Rams knock him on his ass and keep him on the bench the game can be theirs. Age gives wisdom and possibilities to the Patriots, youth and speed should give an edge to the Rams.

Can I predict a winner in Super Bowl 53 this year, well here is what I say, the Refs can determine who wins, unless they are told to let them play, make obvious calls only, and review all cloe ones. The efs can determine an outcome of a game and there is no doubt now in the NFL, after the two Championship Games we saw.

I just hope when the Ram and Patriots hit the field and play this game, it will be determined by the two teams and not the Refs. The fans deserve a real game between two great teams for the Super Bowl, lets hope we get one!

Trump has pushed the Shutdown to 31 days and he refuses to realize what the hell he is really doing! He has taken these people hostage and forced them all not to be able to feed, house and take care of their children or pay their bills! The bottom line here Donald Trump is not your stupid, vanity wall with your name on it, but the good of the American People, and this is not the way to get there.

800,000 workers out without paychecks, restaurants shutting down who fed them and going out of business. It’s sad and the world is watching Donald, they are all watching.

Now that said, your wall idea sucks, the fact your holding people and families hoistage sucks, and the fact your working for Russia sucks too.

I doubt very seriously if your 35 percent who voted for you, ever thought or knew you were working with and for Putin and Russia. I doubt they would have voted for you.

You stole the election using Russian help and rubles, and Mueller and his team of prosecutors are coming for you! Your as guilty as they come and so many americans know it now, it is just a matter of when the Rusia report is released. I will tell you something Trump, you are worried about a legacy you can leave behind, well you are leaving one, as the most selfish, useless and dishonest lying President in America’s 242 year history. It’s a sad, sad time in American History.

Food lines have to open to feed these 800,000 people plus. In the meantime Donald you sit on your fat ass and eat Mcdonald’s Burgers and fries and Taco Bell, and enjoy yourself!

Your laughed at by North Korea, Isis and more and even got laughed at in the United Nations, sad!

Whats even sadder is that there are the following people telling the truth and your lying about Russia and the tower and more.

 George Papadopoulos
Paul Manafort
Rick Gates
 Michael Flynn
 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies
Richard Pinedo

Count the heads folks add em up.! There are a total of 31 people right here, so who is lying Donald Trump and his children who benefitted and got the White House, or these 31 people who all ended up indicted and convicted. You tell me folks, who is lying, and who is telling the truth, Donald J. Trump and his kids or these people?

Let me point out something else for all to see:

Donald Trump JR. Lied to the Senate and was part of a meeting to secure data on Hillary Clinton and the Democrats in the Trump Tower with a Russian Lawyer and other Russians. Lock Him Up! Guilty!

Ivanka Trump Kushner- guilty of using government email servers for personal uses, redirecting funds for Trump’s Inaugural Ball. Lock Her Up! Guilty!

Jared Kushner, running official government business from the White House with out official security clearances, attended the trump Tower Meeting with Russians. Guilty!

Eric trump, diverted frund from a charity to another, to make himself look good, and important, Lock Him Up! Guilty.

You want to stop Trump and his bullshit here is what the Democrats need to do, Indict all of his children and his son-in-law. Bring Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump for Obstruction of Justice, High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Misuse of Power, Colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election. Lying to the American People on the average of 24 times a day. Holding hostage 800,000 plus Americans so he can get a wall that is totally worthless. We are at 31 days of a Shutdown no one needs and we should never have, why?

Donald John Trump is unstable, dangerous, narcissistic, and a pathetic, lying petulant man-child! Lock Him Up!

He doesn’t read reports or documents given to him by military and security advisors or his own members of his administration. He is trying to turn america into a second Russia!. It’s sad that people in the Senate and House of Representatives don’t have the balls and guts to stop Donald John Trump.

The Recent report that Trump Ordered Cohen to lie to Congress about the Moscow Trump Tower Project, may not be one hundred percent correct as stated by Mueller’s team, yet, I believe it is mostly true. Perfection is not a normal thing for any news agency and BuzzFeed is like all the rest doing the best they can with the information they can gather and confirm. If a source misspoke, it happens or if they were misunderstood that happens too.

The fact that such a report or story even could exist though tells us just how much trouble America is in at this time and place in its history. Stop and think, 56 percent of Americans want Trump forced to be Impeached or Resign at this stage in time. Doesn’t that tell you something in and of itself ? Whether BuzzFeed’s report and story is one hundred percent correct or not, at this stage, means very little. I don’t know one newspaper or agency that doesn’t make mistakes, including my own area news teams and newspapers. It is the basis of the story that is worrying folks, not the exact one. The basis being we have a corrupt President in office who colluded with Russia our enemy to steal the 2016 Presidential Election, that is what matters most. That he Obstructs Justice on a daily basis, lies to the American People and Abuses and Misuses his Presidential Powers in all ways, he truly believes he is a Dictator or something, all you have to do is listen and watch him.

I am not defending the fact that BuzzFeed may have been misled by their contributions from others to their story, nor am I letting it slide that they may have made a mistake. But, I am saying that, in order for such a story to be considered, doesn’t that tell you something about the present status of politics and the Presidential Office at this time and date?

Warning shots keep coming from Mueller’s Russia Investigation as people get indicted, subpoenaed and arrested. The fact that we need a Russia Investigation because an American, ran for President using Russian Rubles and Russian help and backing and won, is totally wrong and messed up. The fact that the American People fell for and followed and elected such an individual tells me they are not fully paying attention to the most important elections in American History.

The fact that Americans can be so blind and so ignorant of what was happening is shocking to me and many other Americans who now suffer because they did so.

Look the fact that we even have to have a Special Prosecutor and that 30 some odd people are indicted and some convicted, at least two now and more to come, should tell you that Trump worked with Russia to get the Presidency. It’s a sad story for Americans and American History.

The fact that this President is acting like a petulant, man-child, trying to get a border wall between us and Mexico is also very sad. I remind all who are backing this wall he pushes and is demanding of a few things here and now. 1) The United States and Mexico and Canada have lived side by side for 242 years without a wall on either border, it’s never been needed. 2) A wall will not stop anyone or anything from entering the United States, the drugs and immigrants and crime will keep flowing because they will go around, over or under it in anyway they want. If you want proof of this, take a look at the tunnels under said walls already in place, used by drug cartel warlords like El Chapo. 3) The drugs Trump keeps talking about are shipped in through ports and airports to the United States hidden in parcels and packages and crates. 4) There is no immigrant invasion of America there never has been and never will be, our current immigration policy controls that in all ways. They can come to the border and apply to enter on visas and for political reasons, but America has a right to refuse them citizenship and to deport them right back out. We do it daily in many ways.

Now that said, this current shutdown, must end whether Trump, or Pelosi gives in matters, not anymore. What matters is the 800,000 people out of work, the effects this is having on the american economy, the detrimental effects the shutdown is having on America’s morale and well-being too. It has gone too far, and unless it ends it will destruct everything we have. If you don’t understand what I am saying, than you are a blind follower of a President who lacks empathy, has moral and ethic issues and who is indeed a Putin Puppet. He’s narcissistic, selfish, and doesn’t care!

Hillary Clinton did not lie folks, she told you and Trump in front of the world on national television Trump is a puppet of Putin! I loved how Trump panicked, stuttered and repeated himself looking so guilty when she did it. Right there and then, even before the election I knew that is what he is a puppet. We all have our own opinions and thoughts, so I won’t push it further.

800,000 Government Employees out of Work, the TSA and Border Patrols lessened and damaged, our economy about to be hit big time, and no movement to open the Government up, is sad. A President who sits and allows americans to lose their food stamps, medical benefits and homes and have to stand in food line to get fed, all because he wants a wall that will never work. It’s sad, he doesn’t care about you or me, folks, he has his billions to live on, he has never really worked a day in his life. He is a rich, spoiled, no empathy, no morals person, who shouldn’t be the President, sadly too many uneducated, blind followers were produced by the Russia Propaganda Machine in the 2016 election cycle, and they are hooked, by it all.

As we get ready to hear from Michael Cohen in early February, and he tells us what he knows, more will explode across the world news ad television screens. I thought is very funny, that Donald Trump JR.s decided to come out and attack the media over the BuzzFeed report, saying the media screwed up or whatever he said. In fact I wouldn’t believe anything that came out of a person’s mouth who lied to the Senate and House, and attended a Trump Tower Meeting with Russians. Why would i, he already sold America out. He belongs in a prison, as does Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump Kushner and Eric Trump too. all three Trump children have committed felony offenses against the United states Government and should be indicted and put on trial. One thing I want to point out, which I find very interesting and all should know, A President of the United States can not pardon his own family members, it’s illegal, and would a be felony crime in and of itself.

I say this for all who think I am crazy, or don’t know what I am talking about, you wish to stop Trump’s antics, his behavior and his actions and force his resignation, Indict Donald Trump Jr. Indict Ivanka Trump Kushner, Indict Jared Kushner and indict Eric Trump. The only protection Trump can give his children who he put at risk by involving them in his campaign, is money for lawyers like Rudy. They will go to prison for federal offenses if indicted i have no doubt about it.

In the end let me say this, whether one news report is wrong or not exactly right, makes no difference in this case. It may make a difference to BUzzFeed and their editors as to how they vet their stories and what they do before they release tham, but that’s it. The bottom line is this, the fact that such stories are being hunted down and reported about a President of The United States while he is in Office is a disgrace to America.

These are the Indicted and Convicted Listed above, now I ask you one question, Why would all of these individuals take actions to promote and advance an American who was seekings the American Presidency? And who is lying Trump and his children or all of the above people? You tell me America?

The cost of the Trump Shutdown is 1.2 billion per week folks, now we are 25 days into it, and that breaks down to almost 4 full weeks. 1.2 x 4 equals 4.8 billion dollars, add the interest to the overdue bills, and we are far exceeding 5.7 billion Trump wants for his wall. Sad, isn’t it!

This is a unnecessary shutdown and it is hurting too many americans, some compromise must be reached soon. Food Kitchen are being opened to feed out of work federal employees now, people can’t feed their children or pay their rent and will end up on the street, does Trump care about anyone but himself here?

Soon food stamps will be cut for those in need, what’s next I ask,? How far is Trump willing to go to get his wall funding? Soon the economy will break and tumble along with his shutdown, then what happens?

I agree with Speaker Pelosi’s action and statement, we already know the State of The Union, it’s failing, because of Trump world wide. Trump should not be allowed in The house Chamber to give his speech, until such time as the government is back to work fully and returned to normal. Trump loves being seen on tv and heard across the airwaves, but he cares not for his own country or it’s people, if he did he would end this shutdown now!

It is all following his life, and style of it, selfishness, uncaring, no empathy for anyone but himself and he is acting like a petulant man-child who is spoiled and has to have his way every time. Well one good thing about having Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house and the House Democratic Leader is, she is a mother and knows a damn temper tantrum when she sees one. She is not going to give in, and she shouldn’t, the wall is a waste of time, effort, and money, period. Any wall would be tunnelled under, climbed over, or gone around the first day it is built. Want proof, go look at the tunnels already found, they were deep, long and still exist today to see for yourself. Sadly, the fact is a southern border wall, would be nothing except a big tribute to Trump is all. IT’s not worth even mentioning never mind building.

Onward we go, William Barr, the nominee for Attorney General should not be approved. This man won’t guarantee we see Mueller’s Russia Investigation report in full, except for the redactions needed for Federal Security, He is going to cover up for Trump so the american people don’t get the full truth! What needs to be done is the report should be written in accordance with all federal and legal laws, but when finished it should be released simultaneously to The Attorney General’s Office, The President’s Office and the Media and Newspapers. Let all of us see the truth, let all of us know for sure what happened during the 2016 Presidential Election and what Trump and his cronies have done. No Secrets we are paying for it, let us see it all!

Let me finish today with this, Trump was elected President using Russian Rubles, Russian Influence, and Russian help. At 38 people indicted and more to come plus the convictions already in, isn’t it time the Republican Senate reacted to it all, and took action, or are the American People going to sit by and allow the Senate and Mitch McConnell to block and protect the President for his High Crimes and Misdemeanors and so much more? Call your Senators, call Mitch McConnell, take a trip and sit on McConnells front lawn, and tell him enough is enough. Make him take action and the Senate too, react now. As America’s position in the world as a leader tumbles into the abyss, Russia and Putin celebrate as does, Isis, and Kim Jung Un and North Korea. We have lost the leadership position, economically, politically, and morally. we have now sunk below the line and are second or third to other world powers, sadly no one is caring, especially Trump. He;s happy with the status quo so to say, as long as he gets his way like a spoiled little petulant man child that he is. Daddy gave him everything, he even got him out of the draft four times and paid to make sure. America and Congress must act now, or we shall go further in debt, further down the totem pole of standing in the world. Is that what all Americans want, no Health Care, jobs disappearing, companies shutting down, a Government shutdown and people starving and looking for places to live to stay off our streets? That’s where we are heading folks!

It’s time to call your Senators, Congressman and Women, and press for an end to the Shutdown, and an end to Trump’s way of life, and leadership. It’s time to force Trump to Resign or Impeach him!

If no pressure works, then I suggest Congress Indict, Donald Trump Jr. , Ivanka Trump Kushner and Eric Trump too. Jared Kushner should be indicted too. Take the whole clan down, it is illegal for a President to pardon his own family members, remember that. Force Trump’s hand it’s time!

Let’s talk about Legacies and memories and Truths. I bring this up as I am aging now and I have lived a long life in my eyes. I have outlived both of my parents lives, and my step-fathers too now. Going on 63, I have lived a life full of many memories, many laughs, many tears, and many recoveries throughout the years. I have seen people come and go, and many die. I have seen now, a complete life in my book. I don’t ask for materialistic things in life, never did, but as many know the older you live the more you accumulate, so belonging you always have. Yet what about people, what about those you love or care for, or those who care for you, for in the end they are the ones and the people that count.

My life, has never been the greatest or the best of everything, I wasn’t born into money or riches. My birth was even rough, on my mother, for I basically ruined her I was born so big at ten pounds, nine ounces, that, I tore her up coming out and she had to have her last three children cesarean style. Of course she blame me for it all, what did i know I wasn’t even here yet till they smacked my ass.

My childhood is filled with beatings, violence from my step-father, my older brother and my mother. Yet I survived it all in my own way, I escaped my home life when I could by playing in the woods, reading comic books, and then staying at others homes, and using their parents as surrogates to survive. It worked!

At 12 years old I had two paper routes to deliver seven days a week. I did it so I could have some cash for fun things and never got a penny of it for the two years I did it. My step-father took every penny I earned.elplessAt 14 we moved from one city to a new town, and life doesn’t get much better right? Wrong! I became the helper to my step-father to rebuild a home that was condemned when he bought it.We rebuilt it piece by piece, room by room, and the exterior too. We even added a five foot wall on top of an existing one so he could level the front yard. I ended up doing this for four years of my life, till I finally decided to leave and joined the military, just to get away from it all. I watched the violence my step-father did to us all and my mother too, and was helpless to stop him doing it.

I served first in The army, but only lasted six months due to immaturity, and was Discharged from there on a Trainee Discharge under Honorable Conditions. I returned home for two years, and joined the National Guard in my hometown, where I served from 1973 to 1978 five years, as i searched for job and a place in the world, living in a YMCA room.

At that point, I joined the United States Navy in December I would be in till 1989, when I was Medically Discharged for a back injury, after falling down a ladder and ridding 24 rungs on by back. Disabled is what they called me when they discharged me and gave me a check and said goodbye. The goodbye would be not just from the Navy that year, I also lost my home, my life, my first wife and two daughters, as she divorced me because I couldn’t find a job. It was april 1990 then, so I returned home, to run dead into a new mess. My step-father was dying of cancer and would die in October of 1990, then a she was dying my mother was diagnosed with cancer too, and she would die in October of 1991, one year and one day after her husband. It wasn’t easy paying to bury them both but I did do so with my sister and they rest together in one plot now.

I didn’t surrender, but was surprised and arrested for a crime I did not commit that December and placed in a jail cell in Virgina, where i was at first convicted, then, it was overturned by a Judge when a prosecutor read her notes and caught my ex-wife in her lies. Once released I still, didn’t give up.

I returned home and fought to survive again. I found a job eventually and started to recover. Got my own apartment I loved, and lived a quiet life.

My life changed in 1993 when I met my second wife, we danced the night away a few nights, then dated a few times and she invited me to live with her. That was 1993, it is now 2018, I am still with my wife, and have overcome all of my youth and troubles. we have a home all paid off, we have two of everything and we carry on together. 25 Years together, home paid off, no car bills and peace right! Wrong there will never be peace if you ask me, it’s not what life is about is it?

2006, Cancer came roaring back into my life, in my wife, as she came down with Breast Cancer. Chemo, radiation treatments, lasted a good year, and it went into remission for her. Was it done, was it over no.

2013, August, my phone rang, my Primary Doctor at The Veterans Hospital called me. in Her words, you need to get down here, and see a specialist, we found lung cancer in your right lung. Again the battle begin, a new one now, after seeing a specialist who sat before me and asked me what I wanted him to do, he removed a lobe and one third of my right lung and I survived.

But life has its legacies and it’s troubles doesn’t it. My wife’s breast cancer came roaring back in January 2016. More doctors, more tests, then for the last year or radiation treatment and chemo for her. It has progressed now to breast to bone and back out to tissue in her. We go to chemo for her three thursdays a month and on the fourth thursday we see her Doctor who is tracking her tumors, with scans CT and Bone.

I have cared for her daily and i love her to pieces and always will, yet who knows what shall come next.

So Legacies for me are simple, I have mine already, I write small stories and books. I keep my wife alive, I help her daughter, my daughters where and how I can and I have four natural grandchildren in Pittsburgh, PA and two more in Connecticut, I love greatly and miss cause I never see them or have the money or time to do so.

When I die my legacy will be simply put taking care of others when I could. I helped others where I could all my life. Friends I tried to advise, stood up for, know who they are. People I taught to draw, to laugh, and to love. Those are my legacies along with my small books and stories I write.

So when you think your legacy is how much money you made, or how many things you own, or how many children you had or grandchildren, you need to step back and realize, it’s none of the above thats a legacy, it’s how you treated others, and how they came out of it when you did that counts. A legacy is all about a life lived well, no matter if you were treated right or wrong yourself in it. It’s all about giving, not receiving folks.

I hope and pray that when I die, some will say I was a decent person, with decent morals, ethics and skills. That I cared about others and helped where I could, and never bothered anyone with my problems. No one is an island unto their own so to say, but I always tried to never, and i mean never, impose myself on anyone, at anytime.

Legacies are not materialistic items you pass down, they are morals, ethics, and what you do for others. They are how you treat others, and how you react to situations, they are indeed a life.
