It is time to stand up America!


2025 is rolling right along folks, it is as of today March 30th. The weather here is rainy and dank and overcast. It matches the forecst for the country as we move forward. I wonder now, as prices rise on food and everything else, how many MAGA/Trump voters are now regretting their votes?

As Inflation rises, and prices start to peak and rise, cars will cost a good ten grand more alone mind you! Where do we go next in America? As The Education Department goes south and gets dismantled, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid get attecked, whats next? USAID is dismantled and in ruins, out realtionships with Mexico, Canada and other countries are now disrupted, are you happy now, Maga/ Trump World? Is this what you wanted? If so, I pray you are either rich, or strike oil or something, because, you will have nothing to live on as you age. Stocks are tumbling, 401k’s are too, the ones who struggled to save to live in retirement when they reach it, will be working till they are 80 or 90 years old. Trump doesn’t care folks, and the Republicans who are blindly, loyally and like sheep following Trump, are just plain stupid and ignoranrant, or believe they have enough to survive this! As their money dwindles and drops, and their healthcare disappears, where will you all turn to next? What will you do next?

American MAGA Followers/ Trump followers, you re-elected the biggest con man in world history! He has no idea what he is doing and as he said when asked about rising Car Prices due to his tariffs, he doesn’t care! While many Americans wanted migrants deported, who are illegal here, did they want to pay the high prices they are to do so? Or, do they want to fill the thankless jobs, the migrants filled, in our farming fields? No, did they think about it at all? Nope!

As Trump destroys and dismantles the governement, where do thes ethousands and thousands of Americans go for work next? The unemployment lines get longer, the money gets shorter and in the end, America’s credit rating will get shot down too. Don’t the American people realize, what is happening to the country, don’t these MAGA/ Trump backers get it yet? If not they will shortly, when they, can no longer buy groceries, have no jobs and end up homeless, due to Trump’ policies and ways. It’s coming folks, and God Help You, and America, as we slide that much closer to Autocracity and Communism !

I wish the American People had the guts of our forefathers. Stop and think what Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton, Adams and more would have done now! If they saw America today under Trump, listened to Trump’s speeches and seen the economy collapse as it is. Heard Trump backing Russia and Putin the way he is, or watched as Trump put a South African born citizan in charge of cutting waste. They would have stormed the White House, they would had grabbed Trump, Tar and Feathered him and run him out of the country, by now on a pole. Everything he is doing, is the opposite of what America has been based on for 250 years! It is amazing to see, how he has used money, to buy power and to destroy what was once the greatest nation on earth! We are no longer that now. We are sliding toward a third world nation and being set up for a take over, by Russia and their cohorts and allies. I hope and pray I do not live to see that day. I served this Country for 16 years, defending it, supporting it and working to make it better. I gave my time, my energy and my phyiscial helath and mental health to keep us free. And Trump is tossing it all away, now. I hope, at some point, Congress will wake up. The House and The Senate must join forces and stop Trump now. Americans will have to vote come the mid-election cycle once more, stop this now. Vote Democrat, Vote Independent even, but don’t vote Republican or MAGA folks. If we don’t protect ourselves, by taking the majority away from the Republicans, you might as well, just sign a document saying we are Russian and done! Fight back Americans, stop this now! The Midterams will come up soon enough. Write your Senators, your Congressmen, tell then, no more, tell them, to fight back stop it now. Or, in the end there will be nothing left to save!

Is Trump in Charge? A Deep Dive into Leadership and Accountability


I have heard many times now, from President Trump, his followers and cabinet members, that Joe Biden was not in charge, of his full facilities and mental abilities as President. And On a constant basis I hear Trump putting Biden down, blaming Biden for many things he, Trump thinks Biden did wrong. I want all to remember now, Trump is 78 years old, and please examine his performance so far in Office.

Yet, I also want to point out something else in American History. Lets go back in time and history folks. President Wilson, President Roosevet, President Reagan. All three had medical difficuties and problems in office where others made decisions for them and acted on their behalf. Wilson’s, Rooevelts, and Reagan’s wife ran the Country when they were incapable of doing so. I suspect the same happened with JOe Biden as he aged.

Yet everytime I turn around Trump is pointing a finger at Biden, blaming Biden for everything that is wrong or that Trump believes is wrong! Now, Trump himself should be tested for hois full mental anbilities and cognitive functions. At 78 going on 79, and on a four year term, President Trump will be older than Joe Biden was when he left office. Four Years from now Donald J. trump will be a full 2 years older than JOe Biden was when he left office. In Trump’s case, he will not havea wife to help him through as he ages, because his wife doesn’t live in the White House with him. So thats the first problem. The second is this, Trump picked an incompetent Vice President in JD Vance, so if anything happens to Trump medically or otherwise, we wil be in twice the worse mess, then with Trump. Trump has already shown his incompetence and inaility to understand whatthis country needs in many ways. Is Trump running America or is Elon Musk? Or is it Steven Miller, or someone else inhis Administration, giving Trump Instructions and controlling him?

Now, not even five months into his Second Term, we have security breaches, Administration Members, controlling our defense, on Signal Discussing War Plans and attack plans against other countries. And Trump does not discipline, correct or fire any of them, he plays it off a simple mistake that they are learning from! It isa breach of American Security for a Secretary of Defense, a Secretary of the DNI and more being on Signal an app not intended for such discussions. So, why is Trump protecting these people, he put in place and appointed. Anyother President would have fired many of them for the breach of security, and gave out a written order against discussing any military or Security actions in skiffs only, no publlic apps allowed. Yet, DOnal;d Trump, allows all of this to happen and takes no action? Why?

Is Donald Trump in charge or isn’t he, who is if he isn’t? These questions aboy National Security and the mental condition and abilities of President Trump must be addressed. A smart response to SiganlGate as they are now calling it, would have been admit it was amistake, ban the Siganl App from use for any reason, and use skiffs and government devices that are secure from now on. It is a sad state of affairs, that the media,congress and the American people think they are in good hands under such a weak and foolish President, in my opinion. At some point Congress must react to this mess. A full COngressional Investigation should be performed, and open to the public to hear. Even the Republicans know it was abreach of security and mistake. I ask of the Republicans now, is it so important to you, to hold your job as a Congressperson or Senator that you fear being primaried by an opponent, and losing, or is it more important to defend, and secure the United States? Is the Security of all Americans including your own families less important to you then, beingvoted out of office? You tell me, Congress and Senate member, both Republican and Democrats ! Are there any men or women in the Congress or Senate, with the guts, and balls to stand up to Trump, to protect the country, instead of ducking and crawling and bowing down to Trump? Whats more important Republicans, Protecting Trump and his people, or protecting the country, and your families and loved ones and maintaining our Republic and Democracy? Look in the mirror everyday, and ask yourself, please, because I believe if you do, you will see how the country is being sold out, destroyed from within, and how your own families are being put in danger. Congress members and Senators, you really want Trump to go ahead and destroy Social Security, kill Veteran’s Benefits, Destroy Medicare and Medicaid? What will that leave your children and grandchildren? DO you really want to leavea Legacy of turning your head and allowing our Country, fall apart? I pray you won’t, but your not reacting and fighting back!

Addressing False Accusations: A Call for Change in Mental Health


I have learned many things in my 69 years of life, that make me who I am, and i believe others do the same. We all learn some basics growing up. 1) How to care for ourselves 2) How to interact with others, 3) What we need to do to survive. Like eating, washing our bodies, how to deficate and urninate. The hard part of growing up, is gaining the important experiences needed to survive and make our way in the world, among others.

Some basics we are taught are morals, ethics and manners for instance. Standards are taught us also. Education we get in our schools and then there is the person to person education, of relationships. Most of us don’t get into relationships, with others until we reach puberty folks. Some of us, do so earlier than others but it does come about. As most of society will tell you, rudeness gets you no where, anger is to be avoided, physical violence is a no no. What is not taught, well is how we view ourselves, and how to adjust if needed in society. We all have our own ways of adjusting, if you ask me. We tend to learn, what we consider foolish, or idiotic or stupid as we go along and we adjust and avoid them. What we can’t avoid until we confront or run into them, is people who beliieve they are better than you or I, or are naricistic, or assine and stuck in their ways. We see it everyday in public and private situations, so how do we avoid it. We walk away, we isolate those who do these things. We navigate towards the better people in life and leave those we can not adust or change behind. The physical violent ones, the ones who meantally attack others and deamean others. The ones who lack respect for others thoughts, and can’t say, ok, thats your opinion, not mine an dlet it be. These are the things, humanity may never overcome for we are as diverse as any species will ever be.

Yet we as humans, have our problems beyond the above. We make mistakes and then we can also get blamed for things we never did or would do. In the world false accussations happen folks, people get arrested and blamed and then later we find out they were innocent in the first place. It happens, it’sa flaw in humanity and the American society as we are today. what is missing in these cases, is the actual truth. It is never revealed as widely or as publically as the accussation is it? The Justice system we have, can tar and feather someone for life, ruining their ability to survive or suceed in life. It can take away their loves, their families, their children, their properties, their jobs too. Not all accussations are true, not all convictions are right either. when they are not right, then the person whose life has been ruined or taken away from them, should be compenstated. It should be publically admitted, that it wasa false accusation, revealed why it happened and explained it was not the fault of the person who was accussed. It may not be the accusser’s fault either, it can be brought about by those around the accusser. We as a society recommend theraphies, Doctors and specialist to handle these situations, then we bound them to secrecy. They are not allowed to reveal what they have been told or how they found out. The Doctors, Theraphist, Specialist, that treat thes eindividuals, should be sworn not to secrecy, but to truth and justice. They need to be able to come forward and declare the person falsely accussed of immocence. Instead they are sworn to never reveal the truth or what they find out. In the menatime this process, hurts their patients, the person they falsely accussed, and the lives of all around the incident or matter that happens. Then the falsely accussed has to adjust and live with the accussation hanging over their head, the patient that reveals it has to live with what they did at the behest of someone else, and it ruins lives of the innocents around each individual. Sadly, American medical laws, regulations and restrictions prevent this from happening, so we have men and women who were falsely accussed of crime sthey did not committ having to run, hide, build new lives and try to live a life tarnished by something they never did. Isit fair, is it right, no! But was all know this happens, we have seen it and some have lived it and still do to this day.

I believe and I say this now openly, The Medical regulations and rules need changed. If a Theraphist, physcologist, pschyistist, learns one of their patients, lied, by force, by family, into making false accussations, then I think they should be authorized to and forced to reveal the truth and correct the situation. Apologies do not work in these situations folks, but, a public admittance of what went wrong why it went wrong and letting the world around both accusser and the accussed know, is vital. Lives got changed by these accusssations, these court cases, these false convictions, they seperate families, friends, loved ones and much more. The pain is intense and many have to live with them. Them suddenly out of the blue the Accusser admits they lied becaus ethey were told to, or because they didn’t know better, but it doesn’t change how the situation ended up does it. No, the same intense stain, intense pain and even anger does not disappear, it is swallowed and forced to be held in, by all involved and festers. Is there a solution for such a situation? The only one I can see is the medical professional, being allowed to correct it publically, and helpingboth the patient and the falsely accussed through it all. But, how does one falsely accussed deal with it. some let it fester, some talk about it, some run from it. Yet, they know they didn’t do what they were accussed of, but it stains and ruins their name, reputation and ultimately their life too. So, I ask this question, for all those falsely accussed, and all those false accussers who know what happened, how doe sone overcome it all and correct it? You tell me Medcial experts, you tell me society as a whole! What happens when an accusation is made, and a person loses their repuation, time in jail, and money, then it is found it is all false? release from jail is not enough, monetary payments are not enough, they don’t get back their lost time. They do not regain their reputation do they? They lose in all ways, and then the accusser who rrealizes what they did, has to also live with what they did. They have to look at themselve sin the mirror, and ask why, and what happened and feel the remorse. Then live with it also. It is impossible for the Falsely accussed to forgive the false accusser, it is also for either side to live with the false results folks.

So tell me, Medical Professionals, of emotional and mental health, what is the solution here? How does one recover from these lies? How does the accusser get over the false accussationa nd what they did? How doe sthe falsely accussed overcome the accusation, the lose of time, reputation and family they once had? How does one, stop such things from happening to innocent men and women? And why can’t medical professionals reveal the truth and give som ehelp in correcting these situations? Is there a way, the laws, regulations, restrictions, can be changed in these situations to help not only the patient but the person they galsely accused?

A few poems I wrote in 2025 so far!


A Dying Breed

William M. William McCurrach

March 15th, 2025

I was a Navy Boiler Techichan,

An Engineer, with a great tradition,

I am a dying breed it seems.

I have lived and made come true,

My own dreams, for you and me.

I served my country, I did my time,

I hurt my body,

And almost blew my mind.

I have survived and did what was right,

I won’t say it was easy,

No it was a fight.

I am free and so are those I love,

And thats why, I did what I did,

I say each night to the stars above.

A veteran serves not for him or herself,

They serve for the rights of everyone else.

I did a job, no one else wanted to do,

Now all I ask, is to live the rest of my life,

In Peace, Thank You!

Time and Choices

William M. McCurrach

March 15th, 2025

Time may make us older,

it doesn’t make us stupid ,

It can make us bolder.

As a widower I know,

I have been down this road before,

Make the choices,

hear the voices,

And at some point, and in time,

You will find someone, who will say be mine.

Just remember not to rush,

To find that gentle touch.

For we spent the time, we made the choices,

Just filter through, and hear the correct voices!

Another Monday

BY: William M. McCurrach

January 6th, 2025

Onward we go is all I can say,

Yes I know it’s another Monday!

As time rolls along and the older I get,

I wonder how much older, before I forget.

Memories keep me going,

Day by day, I wonder, how much longer that may be,

But I know at my age, time is moving faster each day,

So, what ever happens, happens is what they say.

One can’t fight time, or fate,

One can’t fight destiny you see,

But, one can mold and control, only so much,

Before you grow old and get out of touch.

So remember my family and my friends,

We all should prepare for our, eventual end.

Write your wills, make peace with all you love,

For in the end, the Lord shall greet you up above

Shinning Star

By: William McCurrach

January 14th, 2025

I have loved many from afar,

Like a person staring up at a star.

To dream of what could be,

If i had just one of those I loved from afar,

With me.

The thoughts of a long journey with someone you love,

Is never lost, while there is a star in the sky up above.

So, if you are like me, and have loved,

Someone from a far, and looked up at night and seen a shinning star,

Know, what I have learned over time,

You can try and try, even sometimes cry,

But, the dream of the one you loved from afar,

Will always be represented by that shinning star.

Each night you look up and see that star looking back,

Remember, there is someone who loves you from afar,

And I will always remember you, as my shinning star!

I write poems when in the mood is all. I also do my blogs here in WordPress as people now know. At 69 now, and still kicking, I am amazed really. I had always figured I would be gone by 40 years old. yet here I am at 69. Anyway, been a widower now since August 2021, when my wife passed from cancer, after her long cancer battle. I do miss her dearly of course. I miss her guidance, her smarts, her logic, but most of all her companionship and caring ways. 28 years was a blessing to me , to be with her. She was my senior by 16 years. age never mattered, what mattered is we were committed, loving and caring to one another and supportive.

Well, for today, I think that is it for me. I wrote the one political blog today and now this. I hope some enjoy my blogs and my poetry.

Thanks for reading folks!

The Decline of American Democracy: A Warning


Good Morning America, How are ya! It’s March 18th, 2025 today. It seems the world is ready to explode in rage and war once more. Israel attacked once more, as Gaza is blown to bits and pieces, Trump can’t stop it folks. Now trump wants to interfere and control and stop Russia and Ukraine’s fighting too. In the end, he is not the great peacemaker or keeper he said he was. The world is now finding out, like many Americans are finding out, he is not an economic expert either. While I have never been, nor will ever be a Trump backer or supporter. I know now his MAGA crowd is due to turn on him soon enough, probably right around his midterm. For even his own backers, are beginning to feel the pain of his economic plans and ways.

Even Americans make mistakes, and that includes MAGA people. They won’t admit it of course but it’s true. I watched Stephen Miller a Trump Confident and Maga supporter argue with a CNN Host and Newscaster yesterday. No matter what the CNN host said, Mr. Miller did not listen, his reply is constantly the same, you don’t understand what I am saying. She asked a second question same answer each time. Mr. Miller rambles on and spouts all MAGA and Trump bullshit is all. I watched it and went Oh My God, shut up and answer the questions for real! He avoids the questions. He then speaks over the top of the Host constantly and that is his way of controlling it all. This ploy is a steady way, all Trump Administration officials do their jobs now. It’s sad to see, Trump and his people are never wrong. By their standards it seems never and won’t admit when they are wrong. Can’t change it folks, we have to deal with it.

At this point even his own Republican Party is learning Trump will do Trump. Even they object to what he is doing, behind the scenes. In the end though they cower in fear of primaries he threatens them with. They fear losing the jobs they have and being cast out by MAGA and Trump. As Trump’s Administration tears down our Government by using Elon Musk to do so.

Social Security is under attack, The Post Office is under attack, Medicare and Medicaid too. Even the Veteran’s Administration is being messed with. Listen folks, let me say this clearly, Musk is not elected. He is not even Congress approved. yet he has your and mine data in his hands now. Sad. The department of Education is under attack now too. What is sacred folks to American values anymore? Is there anything? Do the American People, believe in anything anymore? Or is America, just giving up and letting a tyrant, dictator, do as he pleases? he disobeys court orders also and gets away with it? Come on American’s if this were a Democrat you would be Impeaching him already and you know it!

At some point Americans, even the MAGA crowd has to wake up and realize what is happening here. We are not an Autocratic nation, we are not communistic, nor a dictatorship. At some point, Americans will have to stand tall and stop this man. When will lit be folks, now or later? How far are you going to let this go? How far isolated, how far destroyed from within, will it go and get?

Let me say this and I mean no offense to anyone! Even a blind person can feel the damages now. Who will run our Education Department, who will control Social Security, Veteran’s Benefits, Medicare and Medicaid? Why is he trying to kill anything that helps the American People who are not rich?

As we go forward he wants to pass his major tax plan again, who benefits from it? He does, his rich cronies do, Musk does! Not you folks, not me, not the average American! This is going too far folks, at some point it must stop. The world is watching and laughing at us!

We are pulled from too many Organizations, on the World Stage. we are not an island unto ourselves folks! we can not survive alone and maintain our stature. we will fall, just like all the empires before us did. Why because we allowed one man to run the whole show! Congress needs to stop him now, he has killed the American Economy, embarrassed us across the globe. yet, Congress is scared of him and won’t fight back! By the mid-terms if America does not fight back, and stop him, Trump will be the second Putin. He is well on his way there now!

Let me finish with this. If America does not react, and do something, where will we be when he is done? I will tell you what I see, I see us being a Autocratic Dictatorship, walking right into a communistic country. He is killing free speech, attacking media outlets now too. Only, communist do these things not democracies! I am glad I am going on 70! In under a year, I pray I do not see, the end of American Democracy and our Republic. For I served my country for 16 years folks, I am a Disabled Veteran, on Disability and Social Security. I just want to live in peace and quiet and die that way too. Don’t you?

Rising Costs and Political Turmoil: A Call for American Awareness


March 11th, 2025. It’s a whole 34 degrees outside this am here in Westborough, Mass. The say we will get a high temperature today of 62 degrees, gonna be a warm spell this week. Walking time is here soon enough, fresh air some walking exercise and life goes on.

The American economy is in trouble with President Trump using Tariff’s left and right. Attacking your neighbors on the same land mass, is not smart. Canada is a friend, Mexico is too Trump, why? As the Markets plunge, and prices rise on everyday items we all need. You continue, what is it really all about? You can say it’s drugs, it isn’t, and we are not dumb enough to buy it!

As Russia pound Ukraine, Trump pulls support. As people die left and right around the world, Trump, does nothing. Trump is doing nothing for the USA and everything for our enemies. If, you can’t see that yet folks, well you will shortly. Eggs are up to 9 bucks a dozen, food prices rise each day. Your medical costs will rise too as he attacks Medicare and Medicaid and the Healthcare act. It’s crazy folks. car prices will rise, alcohol will rise too. a Drink in a tavern or bar that is mixed will run ya ten bucks a shot. It’s a nutty world folks. Sad!

The damages Trump has brought to the Country, in the short time he has been in office! Is really bad and sad. How much further will Congress allow Trump to tear down our country? Tell me folks, please! Where is it all heading to folks?

Will the USA face a war, in the near future? Are we being set up, for Russia and Putin? Who hasn’t President Trump pissed off so far? Pulling us from all organizations and off the world stage as a leader, is not the way to go! We are not an island unto ourselves folks, and we will feel that very shortly!

Yet, I have come to realize, there is nothing we can do! Americans voted Trump back into the Presidency and here we sit because of that. Americans gave him a Republican Congress on top of it all too. The Democrats can’t fight back, and the numbers favor all he wants to do so far. Canada will suffer, Mexico is suffering, and in the end the American People will suffer more. Donald J. Trump is a convicted felon folks, allowing his cronies to control our country. Who or what is Elon Musk? Why is he here, and why hasn’t Congress stopped him? Since when does a non-elected, person born in another country, get to run our country? Wake up Americans, what teh hell are we allowing top happen here?

I remind all, Elon Musk was not elected. He isn’t approved by Congress, he is not officially, a member of our government! He is dabbling in every Agency and Department we have. He has your personal data from Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and more now in his hands. Is this what Americans’ voted for? I remind you, Elon Musk is not a natural born American Citizen folks. He is a South African born person, dabbling in our internal affairs here. He is also the richest man on the planet, who is getting richer at your cost. It’s sad folks! Musk, gets richer, Trump gets richer, their cronies do too. And the American People get screwed. Tet, Americans who voted for Trump allow it to happen, and think this is great! Wow, the MAGA brainwashing worked didn’t it? They now, own America, and are trying desperately to hand us over to Putin and Russia. no one is reacting. As we placate and pacify ourselves and shake our heads, we allow it all to happen. We are the laughing stock of the world folks! No country wants to follow us anymore, nor do they believe we can be trusted now. What happened to American Pride, where did it go?

As the stock markets tumble thousands of points. As our food costs rise, and our allies on both of our borders are attacked, where is American pride? Where is American Loyalty? Where is common sense and logic? As Trump tears down the Education Department, I have to ask why? Who will set the standards and teach and guide our children? You tell me Americans, please? Why? If it was good enough, to teach all our politicians and Presidents why isn’t it good enough to teach our children now? Tell me please!

Let me finish this today with a question for all Americans. As President Trump attacks all Departments, and our allies. Why? As our economy falls, inflation rises, unemployment rises, why? What makes Americans so foolish and blind, that, we can’t see this? Donald J. Trump is destroying, America, our future and our family life too. Is it right for one man, to go for retribution at the cost of our country and us? All because, he lost an election and couldn’t admit it? No, it isn’t! Yet, Americans are allowing it to happen folks, open your eyes and fight back! If we don’t, there won’t be a United States of America anymore, we shall be attached to Russia!

A Break from Politics: Enjoy Some Poetry


IT’s Saturday March 8th, 2025. It’s Sunny out and 30 degrees right now, and I wish all a fun filled day!

I am always spouting on politics, and it seems it won’t change no matter what one man says. So, instead of doing that today once more, I figured I will try something different.

I write these blogs as all know, and I also do short stories and poems. So, how about a couple of poems today?

Each night you look up and see that star looking back,

Remember, there is someone who loves you from afar,

And I will always remember you, as my shinning star!

Stunning Woman

By: William McCurrach

The room was dusky and not bright,

The Music was loud and not always right,

The company was fun and to get it done,

Yes I continued to hang on.

I stood alone on my own and watched the people go by,

So many faces in such small spaces.

And you could see their feelings on their faces.

The music came on and the people began to sing,

In you walked and the oh and ahs and sighs, began.

Yes indeed a stunning woman you be.

A stunning woman who knows not what she is,

A woman who is au naturale,

Yes your a stunning woman and do not know.

Yes Stunning to me is what you be,

You take my breath away,

I know you would never see me,

I know your, on a higher level than I,

Yet no matter where I be,

When you walk in your stunning to me.

A stunning woman of beauty and smiles,

A stunning woman who is herself,

Thats special, you stunning woman believe me.

Your just stunning and special to see.

I know someday a man will come,

He may be handsome, He may be strong,

He will scoop you up and take you away.

I hope he makes you happy and gay,

and he makes you content each night and day.

A woman with a smile and style and so stunning,

Yes the men will come running!

Just be you and you shall be fine,

Don’t pay attention to those who don’t treat you right,

Be the stunning woman you are, and you shall win the fight,

You will find your happiness one night!

Oh Stunning Womannnnnnnnnnn!

A New Page

October 8th, 2024

By: William M. McCurrach

Another evening all alone,

The days fly by,

The nights do come,

It seems to me,

No matter what, life goes on.

Time heals many things,

Battles, fights, divorces,

And broken rings.

As we age we laugh, we cry,

We live and we die,

While here on this earth,

How many times,

Can romance be born,

Even after one you lose, is gone?

Can one find romance again,

Or is life now too short,

And the chance is gone ?

Just because, we age,

Doesn’t mean,

There can ‘t be a new page !

That’s what, I hope,

As I age.

Let me close with that one today! I hope all enjoy some of the poems I wrote. I basically got tired of the same political blogs and complaints. So, something refreshing and different I hope for all!

Bye Bye American Dream: Social Security and Healthcare in Crisis


Many have heard the old song now, Bye Bye American Pie I am sure it is a classic. It has several meanings to many people and it’s lyrics, are well known. It talks of the Day The Music Died. In Musical History that can be many different days. Bye Bye American Pie, which one does it really refer to? I think it refers to the day, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens died! The music world was never the same after that day.

In my mind today though, Bye Bye American Pie, is what is facing America today. Under the trying times, we are living through. As, America goes forward, we are now facing many changes. Americans decided to Re=Elect the current President Donald Trump. American Traditions and society shall never be the same again. He is killing the American Dream, it’s Constitution and our way of life.

Food Prices rise daily, clothing costs more, medical costs rise. He is killing Medicare, and Medicaid, trying to Dismantle Social Security and dismantling our Education Department. Trump is withdrawing America from the world Stage in many ways also. The day the music died, could be changed to the Day America Died, to the same beat. I remind all, America always had an Education Department. It was good enough for many of the most famous and illustrious people we have ever had. Without the Education Department many of the most brilliant minds in history, would never have been. If it was good enough for them and us it should be good enough to keep. Our children and grandchildren, need guidance, and fostering, and knowledge, just like we did. Leave the Education Department alone!

Don’t try taking Social Security away! Social Security supports and helps millions upon millions of Americans in their old age. It gives us benefits we need to survive when we can’t work no more. It supports the Disabled, the Seniors and lets us live a life of peace, in our old age. Leave social Security alone! We paid in, we deserve it in return, when we need it.

Killing Medicare and Medicaid is not intelligent either. Without them, Americans will have to pay more to take care of their elderly relatives. The Cost of Prescriptions will go up. The cost of procedures needed by the elderly will rise. More families will find out, they must pay more to care for their elderly family members. Housing costs for the elderly will rise in all ways. Nursing Homes are expensive folks, and Medicare and Medicaid help many. Let them be, stop!

The next item I wish to address, in this is The Veteran’s Administration and The Benefits, we Veteran’s get. When no one else would go to war, or serve our country and protect it we did. When, it was time to give all, to defend and protect we did. Some lost limbs, some lost their lives, some suffered injuries that are horrendous, you want to take our benefits away? We didn’t avoid the drafts, or the defending of our country, we didn’t claim bone spurs! We served, protected and defended our Nation, our way of life, and every American Citizen who did not serve. Remember this, for in the end, when the time comes, your asses, were saved and protected by us. We gave more than some, we gave all! Leave our Veteran’s Benefits alone! We earned them, more then any politician earned their federal pension, these days. If we didn’t serve, where would America be today?

I am tired of the war on the American Way of Life. I am tired of politicians, who think the best way of saving America, is by taking things away. You want to save America, you want to save money, cut your own salaries and benefits! Lets see how you like it. when you can’t get a prescription, or an operation, or help when needed. Come on Politicians, instead of talking it, live it! Lets take away your medical coverage and prescription coverage and see what you say then. I think Americans should now stand up, rise,vote against any politician, who thinks it right to kill the above items. You want to eliminate benefits and care and education? Do it to yourself first and see how it feels.

Last and not least, this Trump Tariff Shit must stop. He was elected to lower food costs, and make life affordable. Instead he tariffs everyone he can, prices rise and we pay the cost and do the suffering. No, lets limit the politicians food, lets take their benefits away and lets make them pay. The rich don’t need a tax break either, you have enough as it is. Billionaires getting tax breaks and contracts from our country is wrong. Musk has more than enough and he has no business in our personal data. The rich keep getting richer is all that is. He has conflicts of interest and he should be banned from the data. His worth rises as the American People’s drops. Wrong! Musk must go!

Overcoming Adversity: My Journey Through Life’s Challenges


Ok, I think somewhere in time, I did somethings right it seems. I overcame seizures as a baby and survived. Then I overcame a rough childhood filled with, Hyper-activity, Attention Deficient Disorder. Violence from a Step=father and a mother who didn’t know what to do with me. It was the 1960s when I grew up. They didn’t know what was wrong with me or how to handle me.

My mother handed me over to the state because she couldn’t handle me. I was instutionized for two years. During those years, my mother tried to give me up twice to Foster Homes. I refused. Then when the State decided, they contacted my real father and asked if he would take me. when my mother found out, she went nuts and stopped it from happening. It would take me making a statement into a Dict a Phone system to get me home again. Once home, it was different, not the same that I left it as.

But, I would go on to help my Step-father rebuild a home for our family. Sanding floors, hanging paneling, painting and rebuilding. We made the home livable over two to three years. By then I was 16 heading to 17 years old.

I dropped out of High School in my Junior year, and was forced to get a job by my parents. I worked till I was 18 in factories. I then decided to join the Army. It was a quick stint, I was immature and not ready, so I was given a Honorable Discharge. It was the beginning of a 16 year career for me. I went from The Army, to the Army National Guard, then to the Navy. I married and had two daughters in the 1980’s. That would end in Divorce for me in 1990 to 1992.

In 1993, I met my second wife, and moved in with her. We would have 28 years together. During it we traveled America some, bought a home together. We shared everything we could, our Wedding Vows said it all. We would learn and grow together is what we said, we did.

I went to the Veteran’s Administration for help, since i was injuries in the Navy. It was decided I needed to go to college. I entered college at 37 years old. During the next 3 years, I worked when I could, collected unemployment when I could and attended at night.

In 1997 I graduated College at 41 years old. I got a Degree in Hotel Management. Was inducted into two HOnor Societies, Alpha Beta Gamma and Phi Theta Kappa. I graduated with a 3.7 average out of a possible 4.0. Received two awards also. I went on to run a hotel for a company, till I could not anymore. I was awarded 100 percent unemployability status in 2000. My wife worked to 2006 as a bookeeper, and then she quit one day. Our life went on just fine. We had one another we started cooking together. We did everything together and rented rooms in our home for extra money to survive.

In 2006 my wife came down with breast cancer the struggle, would begin. From 2006 to 2016 she suffered from breast cancer, I would take her to appointments and chemo and radiation. In the middle of that I would get lung cancer myself. I would support her and her me. I survived lung cancer by way of an operation, they removed a lobe and third of my right lung.

After a brief couple of years of remission, my wife’s cancer came back, Back to appointments, radiation and chemo treatments. I sat through them all with her, and brought her home each time. as time marched on my wife would encourage me to write. She said i should tell the stories of my military career and anything else I thought of. She would read them and made me publish them online on Amazon. In the end I had written numerous poems, and 51 short stories.

Yet I would take her to all her appointments sit with her through each treatment. By then, we had reached 2021. Her health was failing slowly at the time. Sadly, I would watch her go down hill slowly. One evening we were watching television, and I saw her slump to one side in her chair. I ran over and propped her up by pillows and asked if she was ok. She wasn’t. I called an Ambulance and to the hospital we went. She was admitted that night. She would come home once more and be ok for a short time. Then, one night I told her it was bed time, lets go to bed. She said she wanted to sleep right where she was in the recliner. I couldn’t get her to come to bed. I went up to bed alone.

At 3 am, I was awaken by banging on the walls and ran downstairs. I found my wife on the floor in the bathroom doorway, and unable to get up. She had a knot on her head the size of my palm of my hand. I helped her up and into a chair. I called an ambulance once more. The next six months would be in hospitals and Rehab Facilities for her. I would visit her everyday, sitting with her as we watched tv, she ate and we talked some. Covid was big at the time, so I was the only one able to see her.

In the end I went to see her at the Rehab Home down the street daily. I would sit with her daily and feed her if needed. I would get there in the morning and stay as late as i could, my whole life was seeing her. One day I walked in and she couldn’t feed herself anymore it was near the end of July. I fed her and she fell asleep, I headed to the ADMINISTRATOR’S office. I asked why she wasn’t being fed. The answer i got was they had more patients then they could handle. So I asked how long she had left on her Medicare Insurance. I was told three days. I told them to call Hospice. At the end of July i brought her home. Ten days later she would pass, at home. I lost the one woman I loved more than myself, and i was utterly destroyed. we buried her ten days later.

Today I found out I am now in Public Libraries with one of the books I wrote. My wife made that so, when she encouraged my education and then my writing over the years. I miss her today, it is March 5th, 2025.

In the end, I am a widower these days and 69 years old now. I struggle in someways. I know I can’t bring her back. I also know, will never never find another like her. The real question is what do I do next. I know she would not want me to stay alone for the rest of my life. I have no idea, how to find anyone to be with. So, each day, I get up and wonder, what to do next. I have no idea, so I struggle, scared to approach any woman, and not sure of myself at all. 28 years of marriage I had with my wife and i am out of touch with any kind, of dating. I guess in the end destiny and fate has control now. What does one do now?

That’s my Question, these days! I have accomplished one hell of a lot for the Black Sheep of my family. In the end though, the loneliness may, do me in. I am not sure anymore.

Trump’s Economic Lies: A Threat to America


Trump’s Speech last night was not what the American People wanted to hear. There is no concentration on the economy, food prices, Health Care and more. He wants to sit in the White House and shift all blame to Biden’s Administration and Joe Biden. He talked like Biden left him a mess economically, the truth is the complete opposite. So why does he do these things?

Eggs are now almost 9 bucks a half dozen. Then he adds tariffs left and right raising more prices on many items. Trump lied to get elected. He lies while in Office and he shall continue to lie till he leaves office and passes away. The sad part is he wants to give his rich cronies and himself that big tax break again. Like they need it right, they have billions to play with.

Trump is coming after Social Security, ,Medicare and Medicaid, folks. He wants to kill Obama Care, cares not what happens to your money, except he and Musk can reach it. Elon Musk does not belong in our private data in anyway. He doesn’t belong leading DOGE either. He has contracts with the US Government, worth billions, it is a conflict of interest. Sadly, no one is doing a thing about it, why, they all fear Trump and Musk. Someone must get off their ass, and investigate Elon Musk. It’s time to remove Musk from any attachment to our private data.

The show Trump and Vance put on on TV regarding Ukraine and it’s President Zelensky was sad. Taking the financial and military aid from Ukraine just points out how, Trump is tied to Putin’s hip. Sadly, millions will die because trump got angry over Zelensky’s talking points and more on television. Trump doesn’t care! He wants what Putin wants, and he will keep preaching that till his term is over, if he can. Congress needs to wake up. The Republicans do not get the idea of the damages Trump has inflicted upon their party. They think he is fine and within reason as they say, wrong. republican commentators like Shermichael, and Scott Jennings and more, will get it soon. Scott Jenning believes he will be a Candidate soon, and run for office. He will lose if he does. Put it plainly his view and his ass kissing of all Trump does, will kill his chances. Trump is dragging the Republican Party down a rabbit hole they will never recover from. It looked on tv like a ploy by Trump and Vance to embarrass and control Zelensky, period. America is losing in all deals Trump tries.

We are losing our status as a World Leader, we are being withdrawn from the world stage. He wants us off the world stage and kissing Putin’s ass. Sadly, American’s are foolish enough, and gullible enough to fall for all of it. The cult Trump formed is strong and it will be hard to get people to break from it. In my book, the cult is filled with people who bought Trump’s lies.

Britain, France, Germany, Italy, now Mexico and Canada all see through Trump and his cult. yet, Trump keeps pushing here and it is isolating us from the world and our closest allies. I want to remind all Americans and Trump MAGA Followers and cult members. You will shortly feel the hurt all Americans feel. When your older relatives can’t afford their care. When, Social security is cut, you have to pay to house and feed them and care for them, you will get it. The time when you have to pay additional taxes and the rich get the tax break, you will see.

Measles has risen now in Texas. Kennedy JR. has no idea what to do and is scrambling. The medical experts in Texas are fighting hard to contain it now. Yet Kennnedy Jr. talks down vaccines that have saved billions of Americans from this disease over many decades. Ever get the feeling, someone is stupid, but, you say it you may get attacked. Kennedy Jr. has no real medical background of any kind, he doesn’t belong the HHS Secretary.

It has taken Trump a whole 43 days to destroy American’s place on the world stage. Put in danger our health and our children’s too. Add in the cost of health care, his trying to kill, The Department of Education, well you get the picture. He is slowly destroying dismantling the American Government, just the way Putin wants it. The destruction is beyond measure folks, wake up. It will indeed only get worse, not better.

Price increases for all items are coming folks. Health Costs are rising. Trump is attacking anything and everything he can. Why, simple, he wants a tax break for himself and his rich cronies. You want proof, take a look at Musk’s income and and it’s rise since January 20th, 2025.

I can’t express this in any better way then to say this. Americans will pay more, hurt more, lose more under Trump. American’s needs to wake up. He is cutting jobs, raising the Unemployment numbers,, he is cutting Veteran’s out of jobs they need. That is not improving the American Economy!

Look I want to make something clear before I go any further. I do not hate The Republican Party or Donald Trump. What I hate is the dismantling, the destruction, the isolation of America, by him. I hate the fact, he may mess with and destroy programs Americans depend on. Don’t mess with Medicare, Medicare, Social Security, or Veteran’s Benefits. We earned what we have, by paying in or serving, don’t take it away. Stop attacking Obama Care, if you don’t like it, adapt to it, change it, don’t kill it people need it. A defiant and nasty Trump is not good for the country, period. At some point, The Republicans and Democrats must come together, or the next four years under Trump, will destroy America. His anger and want of retribution is dangerous. he needs to realize, controlling his anger is important and he mast stop it. Compromise is a word he doesn’t want to hear, but it is needed to the country and it’s future. No man or woman, should be President if they do not understand that compromise is vital.
