Warnings About Trump’s Political Appointments and Policies


January 17th, 2025, in a few days, I shall reach 69 years old folks. My back is a mess from my Naval Service and my health is holding at least, referring to my lung cancer, I had in 2013. The cost of everything is about to rise, due to the incoming Trump Administration and there seems to be no stopping it now.

Biden said his farewell to the Nation now and he has warned the money brokers will take over, is he right, I think so. You want proof of it, take a good look at Trump’s Inauguration come Monday. As the stage shall be filled with people like, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and the rich left and right. I remind all Americans, Trump will be President yes by title and position he was voted in as, but the real power is Elon Musk who bought Trump the Presidency. If musk says jump Trump will, plain and simple folks. And if Putin says jump trump will too, Trump is a old man, 78 and in the end, he is controlled by those surrounding him now. His physical health is poor, just look at him and listen to him talk, and you can see his mental prowess is down and his capability to really lead is shot. But, America in it’s great wisdom, decide to give him four more years, that we will sadly have to survive.

That said, let me say this now before The Trump Administration takes over. Joe Biden, led the country out of covid, he led the country in creating jobs and an economy that worked. Joe Biden, led the world in peace efforts across the globe and accomplished many items.Now, he is leaving and the country is being turned over to Trump, I am betting that by Janauray 2026, America wil be lagging behind in job creation, your taxes will rise, your health care will disappear, and the US Economy will tank. We may be headed into the biggest recession in world history, and with Trump in charge, laughed at the worse in the world too. Trump isa convicted felon 34 times over and that will stay on his record for the rest of his life. There is no place he can go to hide from it. America is about to become the largest laughing stock ever. Other countries who are democratic or republics or free countries, see what is coming and that it is Trump and they shake their heads at the American People for putting this man in the Presidency. Now, this is all my opinion folks and how I see it, since this is my blog, I write what I wish, we still have freedom of speech in America, at least for today!

When Trump’s plans go into affect, the border with Mexico, his fence will restart again, he wants to Tariff Mexico, Canada, who are allies of ours and attached to us. That alone will drive up the prices of oil, cars and more in America. Who do you think pays for those tariffs, the American taxpayer folks! he thinks strong arming your allies is the way to go, well it is if you want to lose them. we are not an island on our own here, we have allies world wide to maintain peace, and help one another out, if he goes as he speaking, well those ties will weaken.

On the home front here in America, i recommend all save their money and hold on tight. Expect taxes to rise federally and state wise on you. Someone must pay for Trump’s ideas and crazy thoughts he has. He plans on repassing his Tax Break for the rich and his cronies. He wants to kill Obama Care/ HealthCare, he wants to misuse Social Security funds and attack Medicare and Medicaid too. The damages his first days in office, never the rest of his term will cause will be substantial in all ways. I know, I have heard all the MAGA People oh Trump is Great, best thing to hit America since Apple Pie, well they are wrong and now America will see why, soon enough. Sadly, you who voted for Trump wil pay the same price as those of us, who voted against him. But the biggest damages will be economic and as I see it also in the people he is putting into high positions.

Pete Hegseth has no experience, in running any organization or business the size of The Defense Department. he doesn’t understand all of it, and in the end all it take sis one stupid mistake to set off a Nuke War, or a ground war. he has no experience in handling a budget that large, he knows nothing of the Navy, Army, Marine or air Force either. Hegseth served only in The National Guard folks. That is not a person with military strategy in his mind. he couldn’t plan his way out of a paperbox. Yet, the Congress is gonna confirm him. Sad. Kash Patel doesn’t have any knowledge of the Operation, planning or actions of the FBI either, he is not a real Director if confirmed. I remind all, Trump is putting people into position not to run the country correctly, but so he can get retribution against those who prosecuted him for crimes or investigated him. Tulsi Gabbard is not qualified either to be the DNI director. But again, the Republicans are saying Trump deserves to have his picks, sad. What happened to oversight of congress?

As we near Monday January 20th, 2025, I remind all, Trump will take the Oath of Office once more, and like last time he will speak the words, and raise his right hand on a Bible. Yet, like his first time around, he will not mean it. he is there because Elon Musk bought him the Presidency, not because he is qualified for it. Elon Musk attached himself to Trump and paid for Trump’s run for President. Why do you think he did that, simple he wants to control trump as much as he can, to prolong and extend his own financial empire, he has no worry or care for the average American or our families. It’s a sad day on January 20th, in my opinion. And if your joyous as a Trump Supporter and Maga Backer or member of MAGA, well fine so be it, but that shine will wear off quickly, I promise you.

I pray America is smart enough to keep checks and balances on all The Trump Administration is doing and will do. I pray Congress wil use their oversight powers correctly and control fundings and more. If they don’t, it won’t take Trump long to break America’s funding and spending laws. he will rip the Country off for al he can get, and at the same time sell us to Russia. It’s coming.

I write this as a Warning to Congress and the American People. Trump has ripped off his suppliers and builders over the years, he has attempted to launch a University that never happened and ate those funds. He couldn’t sell water, or steaks either. This is a man who sexually harassed and touched women he had no right to. yet, here he is in The Presidency in a few days. Sadly, Americans voted for him, which is their right, but there isa reason a convicted felon has never been a President before now, and I pray, Congress, the American People, will watch closely, monitor and keep track of all he is about to do. For in the end, we may end up the first Country to commit Bankruptcy under Trump. be prepared, is all I can say. I would walk away from Trump is I met him in person, whether as President or not. He is an unbalanced individual, old and aged, and unstable mentally and definitely physically too. Sadly, we must live with the decisions people voted in place for now. One thing to stopped and think about, if Trump, due to mental or physical disabilities, can not perform his duties, you will end up with a President Vance, you chose it folks, good luck.

Watch Trump Closely: A Warning for 2025


Good Morning January 15th, 2025! Some have suggested I should move back to Connecticut, because I do not understand the so called Massaholes here. I also don’t understand the taxes here and how the towns and state want to soak it’s residents all the time. But, that’s me folks, and no I am not moving to Connecticut in the future, I own my condo here in Westborough, Ma.

That said, lets discuss what is ahead for the nation as a whole. I did not vote for Trump and never would or will. The man is a convicted felon first off, and that alone shall never be removed from his name or reputation. He has bought himself out of it, in every case he could, yet, New York said nope your guilty, live with it. Yes it pisses him off, he is now officially the only United States President who is a convicted felon period. I would recommend, Congress and The Senate watch him closely, for he will rip off the American Tax Payers for whatever he can as he goes along. A Con Man and a convicted felon never change their colors folks, and they find ways to hide what they are doing. So, I recommend people put Donald J. Trump under a microscope, and watch him closely. Never in my lifetime have I ever seen a President who wants to kill the Department of Education, wants to go after Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, but here one is. His views on World Affairs also suck, he thinks intimidation is the way to control the world. Lets tariff everyone, and see if they like it. While his tariffs will slow down other countries, they will kill the American Economy too. Many Americans do not understand, how tariffs work, when they find out the tariffs are not paid by other nations but by Americans in the end, well you can get the drift so to say. Anger will rise, as the economic numbers start to jump, gas prices will rise, food prices will rise and more. Trump has never been a negotiator when it comes to anything, his idea is force them to do what he wants. That attitude and anger will, cause major American Economic problems and rising prices.

Next, Trump needs to be watched closer on legal matters and using the Justice System to get revenge and retribution. He wants to go after anyone who prosecuted him, charged him etc. As the old saying goes Donald J. Trump and Baretta said it best ” Don’t Do the Crime if you can’t do the Time!” Your lucky your free to be President and The Justice System saved you. Also, you should kiss Elon Musk’s ass, he saved you and bought you, for the next four years. Bottom line, your a puppet of Elon Musk now, and Putin is pulling your strings also. You never did get out from under Putin, Trump, you just hid it well, for a while.

As we start 2025 and the Trump Administration comes into focus, take a close look folks, and Congress both the Senate and House, his appointments tell their own stories. A Defense Secretary, who only served in the National Guard, and has opinions that make no sense regarding women in the military. A Sexual Harasser of women, running the Military as sad tale indeed, and easy for Russia and others to just blackmail. Other appointments are even worse, I get he wants to shake up Washington, but, don’t be totally stupid Senate and The House, you let him have his way, with no controls on him, your done and so is America. He will sell us out to Russia and let Ukraine go down and more, He is weak, scared and not capable in my opinion. Your going to Confirm a Secretary of Defense who never handled a budget over 100 grand a year and when he did he blew it, to the tune of deficits in the hundreds of thousands. Now he can get his hands on the over eight billion dollar military budget if he is confirmed, Wake up!

That being said lets discuss another Trump item and problem here. I remind all, that Donald J. Trump is not a healthy man at 78 years old and his age alone is a factor here. If at anytime, Trump gets ill, has heart problems, or more, and can’t handle the job, you now will get a President Vance. Is that what, American’s want? Imagine, Trump enters office in a few days, his health goes south, and wham, we then have a President Vance who has no experience, no knowledge or ability to lead this nation. If you thought Biden was a problem, with a back up of Harris, well, your deeper in the shit if Vance must take over at any point. Think about it folks!

These are just a few of the facts of the coming Administration in America. Looking at it now, I can honestly say in my 69 years of life, this month I have never seen a mess so bad in American History. Oh I have heard it all, MAGA is Great, the Wall will be built, he is going to deport all immigrants who are illegal, ok, how do you pay for all of that now. Where is the money coming from for his petty bullshit projects, and how rich is his friends going to get off of all of it and him too. I never thought I would say this about American’s but, here it is, your gullible, easy to fool, and basically, ignorant of what is coming. Sadly, it is going to be your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who will suffer, when Trump buries Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, attack Health Care and destroys our reputation on the world stage. he was already laughed out of Nato in his first term, and how many countries will allow a convicted felon to tell them what to do, or allow him in their nations? Not many! he is foolish, he wants to attack Canada, Mexico and then take Greenland, the Panama Canal, and do it with military force, and his incoming Defense Secretary has already told Congress, he will do as the President tells him to. Sad !!!!

I know I can’t change how people voted, no one can, you made your decision Americans! Now I suspect, you will have to live with the results we all will. Good Luck, because me, I will mind my own, save my money left and right and not get involved with MAGA, Trump or any of it. I pray, American’s will heed my warnings here and keep very close tabs on Trump, his Administration and what he is doing, otherwise, we get handed to Putin in the near future.

The Truth About Massachusetts: Population, Politics, and Parenting


A little commentary about some subjects that may or may not disturb people here in Massachusetts and else where for today!

First, let me say this, Massachusetts, has it’s problems in many ways. It wants to increase it’s population, but has numerous problems controlling it’s citizens, and it’s tax rates. Crime in this state rises, and then towns decide they want to improve, so they attract Senior Citizens and build condos and then sell them and then tax the buyers out of them, for projects they can’t afford. That my friends is stupid, it is like a double edge sword to it’s own purpose of attracting the Seniors in the first place.

Next, let me address a common problem I have run into in Massachusetts, the popular called Massaholes so to say. let me say this clearly so I am not misunderstood, there is no need or want or any other reason for this to be. People are strange here, and mean and argumentative too. They do not accept new people coming into their state for whatever reason. Secondly, the citizens here, seem to think, they rae better than anyone else in the nation, and they are always right when they are not. Politics plays a factor here too, but, it is not as strong as this Massahole bullshit going round. Wake up folks, you can’t call for people to come to your state, to increase the population and tax base, then, tax us back out and get away with it. Sonner or later you will find, we wake up and leave, in mass exoduses. Is that what you want here, just the money you can squeeze out of people?

The Massahole affect goes deeper than you think, it is in your attitudes toward one another and strangers too. You shut people out, ignore people, fight and argue with people too. Grow up here will you! Just because someone does not think the same as you, doesn’t mean we are wrong or right, it means we have our own ideas and opinions too. Accept that will you, please and stop thinking your shit doesn’t stink! There is no excuse for the rudeness, arrogance, anger, that comes out of the Massaholes! None, it drives people away, it affects people emotionally and mentally too. Wake up! The coldness, and anger towards others is really nasty in Massachusetts and it is bad for the state and it’s citizens too.

Third problem, as I was discussing with others in online chat rooms and blogs and more, the loneliness factor here in Massachusetts, is huge. The dating scene in this state is sad. Look, whatever happened to approaching someone and saying, I like you, I like your looks, or your personality, want to have dinner or a coffee, I would like to know you? It seems in this state that is looked at as being too forward or rude or too demanding, why? Please explain that one, ladies and gentlemen, please. I have no idea, how this state even accomplishes the task of repopulating itself, if people push you away for asking someone out or liking someone. It’s stupid and if you think someone just wants you for you money, well, that is not the case always. The other thing I have noticed is Massachusetts has more narcists then anywhere I have lived or been, why? It is a sad thing to see and one has to watch out for these people, they don’t care for anyone but themselves. This Massahole attitude and problem extends into public places and worst of all on the roads, when your driving at times. Wake up, Massachusetts!

The state already has what I believe is the highest tax rate in the nation, maybe not exactly but close to it. Now I want to remind all, a new Administration is coming into power in Washington, DC and with it comes problems like never before. They intend to tariff to death our neighbors Canada and Mexico, tariff other countries to control them and try to make America first once more. I am tired of this bullshit of Make America, Great Again, it’s crap. I will remind all Americans, I was born here, I will die here, I defended this country and gave my health for it too, for 16 years, America has always been great! Why, because we have the right to Vote, to Free Speech, and a Constitution unlike any other. We have The Bill of The Rights and protections for our people. We take care of one another in many ways. We still have the best of almost everything in the world. The most resources too, so don’t fill me with crap about Making America Great Again, we never lost out greatness and never will. Wake up folks ! You can run around with your little red hats all you wish, screaming and jumping up and down, because we are America, go do it in Russia and lets see how long last there, before your either killed or shipped out to Syberia! Wake up!

Next topic, the raising of American Children these days. If you decide to have children, please remember some basic facts. 1) You made them, you pay for them ok, not State Aid or welfare. 2) It’s your responsibility to teach them right from wrong, and manners and morals and ethics. 3) Discipline them, make them understand societies rules, and common courtesies. 4) An Xbox, Playstation, or Video Game console is not there to raise your children or babysit them. It’s entertainment they must earn to have. 5) The Internet must be controlled and so must the children’s access too to it. Do, your job as parents, guide, teach and protect, and raise them properly. Teach them logic and common sense please, and correct them when they are rude or get too arrogant. What the hell happened to parenting your child and correcting them properly? Damn! One other thing too, schools are not your child baby sitters folks, they help a child learn yes, they teach your child the things needed to make a living and survive, you control your child, and their behavior in school on the streets and in places of public usage, is your responsibility, it reflects back on you as a parent and adult, when your child gets out of control, or does something illegal, wake up.

I know, I have heard it before the old argument of what decade was the best in American History. What Generation was the best to live in, and I have heard people get upset when discussing this. Well being as i was born in 1956, I can not account for any decade before 1960, in my experience. The 1960’s produced jobs and money in America, but failed to police itself properly, as we all know. we had the peaceniks, the drug usage and alcohol usage increases too. The Vietnam and Korean Wars and Assassinations too. Then, we moved into the 1970s, pot became the thing, peaceful protests, political turmoil and more. We still had the best cars and music of any era in my opinion. Yes, we had political turmoil again, Nixon and Watergate, and Agnew too. By the end of the 1970s, with Carter as President, we learned even America had to learn to save energy in the world, turn our thermostats down and worry about jobs once more. We learned or began to learn, the world didn’t like us as much as we thought and they started attacking us for political positions and actions we did in the world. In the end I still believe the 1970’s were good years, but I am partial to them.

Let me say this to all, today in 2025, we now enter a period of time, where America itself, and our way of life is at stake and our way of government too. Democracy is at stake as is the Republic as founded by the Forefathers of our Nation. We can not change the way the voting went, or the President we will have legally, but we can defend our rights and make the incoming Administration live by the rules of our land, for no one is above the law. We have checks and balances and as Americans we have the right to use them to protect our way of life and our people. The Presidency may have been bought by Elon Musk and his billions, and we may ultimately end up under a President Vance also. I remind all Americans, whether you Voted Trump or not, he is 78 years old, not in the best of health, just look at him, and imagine if something happens, you get a President Vance, I hope your ready, because i don’t think you thought of it when you got all MAGA excited and voted Trump in again. Time shall tell if I am right or wrong here, I am not young myself, so, I may or may not live to see it, happen. But, I think all politicians no matter party, race, nationality, should prepare just in case. For this is America, we will have to adapt and change and adjust, as we go forward and yes the majority voted and yes I understand that. I am just saying what few thought about when they ran to the voting booths. Sorry folks, just honest opinion here.

Let me close here with a simple thing, in America these days, there are still a few of us who have manners, ethics and morals. We still open doors for women, we still respect their opinions, we still can say without doubt everyone has their right to their own opinion. We still can be civil, polite and work together no matter what, I hope. I still have Hope in The Promise of what Our Forefathers, Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin and more said, and made, and as ben franklin said, after they signed the Constitution of the United States, We shall have a Republic only as long as we the people, Protect and Defend it! Never forget that Americans, we must do that!

Community Center Concerns in Westborough: A Cautionary Perspective


Last night, I went to the Town Meeting here in Westborough, concerning building and providing a Community Center. I listened to the proposal, the alternatives, and what has been done so far. While I admire Westborough’s intentions, I do not agree with the way it is being done.

Some mistakes have been made, and the Boards I saw last night need to slow down, first. The first mistake, to the project as I see it was the purchase of the building intended for this purpose. A 20 year old building, was not the way to go, the building should have been better inspected from the start. A Flat roofed building has numerous problems for the New England area of Massachusetts. The roof is already twenty years old, it needs a full replacement, period. Second problem with this roof is it will need to be reinforced once redone, to carry the additional weight of the AC Units to be place upon it .It must not only hold the AC Units and be sealed properly and maintained, but be strong enough to withstand Snowfalls herein New England.

The roof is a major flaw the town did not recognize when it bought the building. The roof being 20 years old as is, needs to be totally replaced, not repaired. As it sits right now, if one small leak exists in said roof. you will need to do a full inspection of the structure in all areas. Water damage, can be devastating as we all know. Once water gets in, it will travel, throughout said building causing major problems not only by weaking the roof structure itself, but, by weaking the walls, and framing. if it has leaked anywhere along the roof, and I mean anywhere, you then face a possible clean up of mold, mildew damages, that will cost additional millions.

That is the first thing I will mention here. The next is the repointing and strengthening of the structure to hold the weight of what is being proposed and the pricing. Motar pointing up, while can be done, may not be enough if the water damage exists, from the roof, especially, if there is water damage inside the structure.

The exterior, while I believe in the appearance will need to be improved, the cost is going to get out of control for what is being proposed. Then you need to reshuffle the interior of the building to fit in what you need to use it for. My question is why so much, at one time? I am a Disabled Veteran myself, and I know what Veterans shall need. I also know that dividing such a Community Center up in the way it is proposed is very costly. You are trying to do too much at one time as I see it.

A place for the younger generation of teens to mid-twenties or thirties, should be separate and a place away from Seniors and Veterans. Not forced into one building in the way proposed here.

On top of the structure itself needing to be fully inspected and tight and sturdy. The exterior proposal of rebuilding and fixing sidewalks, and parking lots, is ok. yet, if you look at the numbers as presented and the layout of the exterior and interior of what is intended, I ask, even if done in twenty phases, the cost for this is crazy. I know, the economy in America is about to change once more, under the incoming Administration in Washington. Price will rise folks, you will get hit with maybe numbers that are twice what you have estimated already. Stop and think about what you are doing here, slow down.

Next is how does a Town the size of Westborough, Mass. intend to pay for such a building, or Community Center? Where will the funding come from folks, the people of Westborough, will not like having their taxes raised to pay for such a project. On average, you are asking Westborough citizens to add approximately eight hundred dollars a year or more to their current tax bills. This increase will anger many citizens, and you may lose out here. The Senior population that is growing here in Westborough, may be seniors, but we are not stupid either. There are now many condo complexes here in Westborough and yes the older generation and population is growing, yet, you have to remember, their wallets and purses are not. They are retired, elderly, surviving on social security and retirement funds, pensions. as it is the price of living in Westborough, Mass, is up there without additional costs of this nature.

While I agree, something must be done to accommodate the Seniors of Westborough, and it’s Veterans too, I do not agree to the cost of said project of this Community Center. We currently have a Senior Center in Westborough, so what is wrong with extending it? Is it the property it sits on, the cost of said expansion, what? Who came up with the idea of purchasing a building for this purpose, of a Community Center of such size and paying so much for a twenty year old building? Who inspected it prior to purchase, for feasibility, and purpose? That is where the first problem sits in my mind. This was not in my opinion, thought out fully, and you could see that, in the presentation at the meeting last night. The economy of the town, and it’s population which is growing in age, can’t be asked to foot a bill this high, that will hit our taxes and be reasonable, not in my opinion.

Before you start, designing and fabricating the interior of such a Community Center, you will have to start with the building itself. The damages on the roof, the ac units being replaced and secured alone is major here. One small leak in any part of said roof, can lead to a major disaster here. As one of the members of the board said, roof problems here in Westborough have occurred to many structures in the past and recently, and have cost the town bundles of cash to repair. What assurance and guarantee is there, that this building, will not do the same? A re-warranty of such a roof will not be enough, to hold. The best you may get on such a warranty of this type by an insurance company out there may be 5 to ten years not 20 to 25 as needed. A new roof may cost more initially to do here, but in the long run, may be the best way to go for safety and maintenance also in the future.

While the design of this Community Center is pretty, and nice looking, it includes far too much in one shot to get done. Go back to basics here. You made the mistake of purchasing a building, that is in need of repairs and maintenance. Fix the building and structure first. Second, find out, how many people said building can hold under the safety and fire codes of Westborough and the State. This will have to be a slow build if it is done, phased out over a lot more time, then is suggested or being planned for here. Go one step at a time if you plan on accomplishing what you wish here. A rush of any kind will only cause going back to fix what you missed, or did not do correctly.

I know, I am not a city planner on said project, and I am only a concerned citizen in Westborough looking at this from the outside in. I also know, that rising costs are about to hit this country and it’s economy, with the new Administration coming in Washington, DC. The taxes will rise folks, tariffs will hit, and people will suffer the costs of said actions. If you don’t believe that, then you are living in a make believe world, for no American can be that blind not to see it coming.

I live in one of the Condo Complexes here in Westborough, Mass. and I know, the Seniors who live here, want to have a say in how the town does it’s business, and how it pays for it all. I remind all, on the Town Boards and in the town Government here, Seniors in all of these Condo Complexes, don’t want to be taxed out of the town, we chose to come here. We are on budgets and financial plans and retirement plans. we are not, the rich, nor are we the money bags, you intend us to be, to expand your town. You need to stop and tell us now, where you plan on getting the funding for projects like this, how much it will cost the average home owner and taxpayer on each level. You can give out pretty pictures and looks of what you want to build all you like, but in the end, we the people, especially the Seniors and Veterans, want to know, what’s the bottom line and cost for each of us and can we really afford it all? That is never mentioned in these town hall meetings, by anyone on the boards is it? Why?

As it sits now and for what I have seen as a citizen, Senior and Veteran, I would vote no for said Community Center. You can’t build it unless you can pay for it folks, in a decent way that will not, coast each Home Owner and tax payer that much. Look I know Northborough, Marlboro, Southborough, all have better Senior Centers than Westborough, everyone knows that. You can’t be playing lets keep up with the Jones next door and get away with it if you don’t have the funding and budget to do so. Slow down, fix the building you bought first and foremost. Make it safe, make it structurally sound, make it adhere to Fire and Safety Codes and buildings codes as set forth by the town and the state and the Federal Government too.

Get financial assistance from The Federal government towards any part of the project that affects or is built for veterans. Ask for assistance from the State for Senior citizens that live here, and show the state the town’s population is aging and increasing in numbers and the reason you need this. Without outside assistance financially, I do not see how the Town of Westborough can come up with that amount of money to do this Community Center and make it work. Don’t fabricate it, don’t bypass the cost of it, don’t pretend here, be real. You can’t ask people who are 55 and up, to pay this bill, you can’t ask Veterans who are Disabled, or on Disability payments to do so either. You can’t tell Senior Citizens who no longer work, to enjoy and pay such taxes either, you will have a major revolt on your hands. Wake up, before you go any further, reevaluate what you are doing, slow down. It is not the Senior population, The Veterans, or even the children of Westborough, who made the decision to purchase a twenty year old building with problems, it is you the board who made that mistake. so before you proceed in any attempt, to build such a Community Center as presented or any of the alternatives, you need to go back to the basics here. Fix your eight million dollar building you purchased first, in a proper way, and as affordable and in a safe way. Once the building is safe, structurally, the roof is proper enough to not only hold the AC Units proposed for it, as well as leak proof and the masonry points needed to be fixed are done and repaired, you can then start the project if you have a way of funding it, properly, without, killing the average tax payer in town.

Phasing parts in is great as long as you can pay for each phase. The phases would have to be smaller than being proposed and the project may not get fully completed till 20230 or so, yet in the end, it would be properly funded, properly maintained and finished to be safe, comfortable, up to building codes, and worth the effort and last for many years and possibly a generation.

Please don’t think, I am saying the Community Center should not be built, or that I am saying it is not needed. I am saying, find a way to slow down, find a way to pay for this project that won’t break the citizens of Westborough’s back here. Stop, trying to outdo your neighboring towns, be logical, be economical, be realistic, at no time will this Community Center be holding over three hundred people in my opinion. While the Senior Population is growing folks, they are also inflicted with aliments that stop their participation. we slow down, we can’t drive much. we can’t afford gas and extras like we did when younger. Wake up. The Veterans are not going to be able to on limited budgets pay for this either. So, how do you get it paid for, built, and completed? Please tell us, the citizens, of Westborough, It’s home owners and tax payers, our Seniors and Veterans, where the funding comes from, how, you get it and how much it will cost each of us. Break it down, because at the point the project is at now, I see too many mistakes, and no answer for the funding other than the citizens paying for this and taxes rising. What’s the options here, and in my opinion, if they are not good, stop the project, and recalibrate here.

Supporting Veterans and Seniors: Community Needs and Solutions


As the snow flies and settles on the ground for the first time this year in my area of Massachusetts, I watch the battle over the incoming Presidential Administration and President and go what did we do? I voted the other way, so yes I may be a bit bias here, but, I pray we survive, the next four years of autocratic rule, under Trump. I tire of those who are woke, or die-hard MAGA backers, saying it won’t be bad, we will be fine. Before you say that, I say lets wait and see, where it goes from this.

First up now is Trump’s Nominations for Cabinet Positions. As we found out quickly, Matt Gaetz did not make it far, as his Attorney General Pick. Now we are on to a man, Pete Hegseth, who is a accussed sexual abuser, and some say heavy drinker and possible alcoholic. While he served his country, and yes I saw that, one with a temper and opinion of women not belonging in the military is just dead wrong for the Department of Defense. Look, America has had a military of both genders for many decades and more. Women provide expert care medically, they provide excellent warfare too. We have seen it over time, so why, try to kick them out? In my opinion, anyone who drinks, has a temper and a sour opinion of one gender or the other does not belong handling the budget and deployment of our military in anyway. What is needed is a military person, who is stable, experienced, fast thinking and not predijuced or discriminating in anyway. Someone who has experience in leadership, and knows the military might, and won’t try to steal from it’s budget. Hegseth, has been accussed of syphoning funds from Veterans Organizations in the past, he should not be let loose with a budget like our military has.

That said, next, thought by me currently. Here in my Hometown, in Massachusetts, I was talked to about a Volunteer position on a Veterans Board for a Senior/ Veteran’s Center in town. I applied, whether I get the position or not, I know as a Disabled Veteran myself, what Veterans need. We do not ask for others to be overly empathic to us, or to pity us. We like to be listened to, and at least recognized for the sacrifices we made, while serving. We want our benefits yes, monetary wise and medically. We would like a Veteran’s area the does in some ways cater to us. Some of us need counseling for PTSD, Help for injuries and loss of limbs. Some of us need a place we can gather and hold informal gathering to talk about our service time. Some of us need prescription coverage and we have that thru the Veteran’s administration, but not all veterans know where to go to get help, who to call, and how to qualify. Some of us have lost our DD-214s, and records and need to access them for help. We need Veteran’s Counselors in The Senior center for these reasons.

There is a need for exercise equipment, special seating and tables, wheelchairs. Veteran’s want things to occupy their minds and their spirits and hearts too. Things like pool tables, ping pong tables, puzzles and books. Art and Craft services also, for Veterans need to know they are giving back for all they get and many have hidden artistic talents. They have ideas, they can put forth to help themselves and others and they understand that what will be accepted, are those items and ideas that help them but also the whole community. Interaction between Seniors and their community and Veterans and their community will not only help Veterans and Seniors, but their families also. Relieving some of the burden on the families of veterans and Seniors will help the community and give families a break from constant caring and pressure, they go through.

To have a phycologist on hand, once a week or monthly, would help also. as I stated earlier, Veterans and Seniors do not want pity, we do not want, unnecessary attention, because someone feels empathic for us or think because we are injured or hurt or senior citizens, no we want a place to be among people our own age, our own special types of people like veterans. There will be a time when the only ones who understand what a Veteran is going through will be another veteran, just as, the Senior population at times would like to be among their own age group for interactions, discussions, support and more.

There should be a quiet spot for those who want some time alone or isolation too. This gives them time to gather their thoughts and ideas and to calm down if upset. While, card games and other interactions will help also, it is best to encourage Veterans and Seniors in many of the same ways. So, yes, social events would help also, such as help with meals, or financial planning and help in who to contact and how, for certain things. Emergency Services, should be available by the staff who run the center, with the phone lines and internet addresses available.

Sometimes, a Veteran or a Senior may just want to Zone out, and relax and try to either calm down or handle their anxieties and fears. Television rooms can be handy for this. Sometimes it takes, just one other person to be present to help someone to start talking, and discussing and getting advice from. No two Seniors, or two Veterans are the same folks, each has their own unique difficulties, and problems and things they need help with. Some need special help at home, and there should be references to Nursing and Medical Help lines and Ambulances. Hospitals will always be available of course in our area, advice on which ones Veterans can go to, or a Senior person should go to, should be listed.

As, times change so shall the needs of both Veteran’s and Senior Citizens. we must have a place for ideas, recommendations, and from both the Veteran’s and Seniors. Some place or box or bin, to drop in their ideas, their needs requests, so as a Community and a combined Senior and Veteran’s Center, can be brought forward and discussed and if needed and approved, instituted, for all who use the Center.

A Director or Manager must be on site 24/7 when the Center is open. A Finanacial Officer is needed to control costs within budget and to come up with ways to increase funding by donations and more. A Out Reach Program to reach the community and let them know the needs of the Senior/ Veterans Center is vital. The more the community of Westborough, understands, the better for the Center and those who use it. many will says, oh, we don’t have a Veteran in our family or we don’t need Senior care for some in our families. It must be pointed out that as we age we all need help in some way, and that Veterans specifically, served all of us. And that you may never know, when your son or daughter, will decide to join the Military, and serve their country. It is understood, that many now a days, won’t volunteer, due to political or personal beliefs, fears or whatever. In the end it must be pointed out that because many did and do each day, we are a free and patriotic and democratic republic. We owe the Seniors and The Veteran’s in many ways, and we should help and support each of them, in any way we can. For as we age as citizens, both men and women, we all should acknowledge our Veterans and Seniors, they gave so we can be free and a decent society.

A large part of any Senior/ Veterans Center should be social functions, such as meals for the needy, bingo, and dances, for all of both sexes to mingle. Many Seniors are lonely and believe they will never find a new partner in their lives. Age does that to all of us folks and we must remember any help with preventing the loneliness syndrome in the Seniors and Veterans. is vital. There are many Seniors and Veterans who are dealing with emotional trauma, ptsd, loss of a spouse, and they need someone to talk to and interact with, to help them through the difficult times.

As I, finish writing this today, I stop and remember the Widows and Widowers who sudenly found themselves alone. The Veterans who sit at home by themselves, wondering where to turn next for help. Not all, are capable of caring for themselves, or for others around them. What is needed also is a program that reaches out more aggressively, for Volunteers to help Veterans and Seniors. While the newsletters and pamphlets are well done currently, a more intense effort must be made, in this area, due to the increasing population of Seniors, Veterans and more.

These are a few of the ideas and thoughts I have regarding the Veterans and Seniors of Westborough and our community. I am sure, there are many more things that can be brought up and out and can be considered too. Special Events trips for shopping, sports or events and more can be used too. While I am just one person, as a Senior Citizen and Veteran, many of these thoughts are ideas. It would take work, and effort to put many in place and improve what is ahead.

Surviving Political Turmoil: Tips for Americans


Hello December 4th, 2024, grey and overcast outside here and cold, 22 degrees this am in Westborough, Ma. As we head deeper into December and toward the end of 2024, I havea few suggestions for the average american, and the lower income families.

  1. Do not buy expensive items, keep the car or home you have, if you have one.
  2. Save money at every turn you can, especially over the next four years.
  3. Be prepared for changes economically and politically, at all times.
  4. Watch the Incoming President closely, for mental and physical disabilities.
  5. Trump is 78 and not physically or mentally healthy, be prepared in case JD Vance takes over.
  6. Stop and think what you did electing Trump, on the world stage and at home here, you will see many things.
  7. Trump’s picks for his cabinet will all be in trouble as we go along.
  8. Gaetz went down in flames, Hegswith will be next and be prepared for a major fight over Tulsi Gabbard too.
  9. Be prepared for Trump’s retribution plan to start taking effect immediately.
  10. Kash Patel can not and should not be FBI Director, he is radiacl and dangerous.
  11. Our relationships with Russia, Koreans, and dictators worldwide will change, for the worse.
  12. lastly but mostly Senior citizens, must fight back against Trump killing or attempting to kill, Medicad, Medicare and Social Security. We paid in for Social Security it’s out money.

Let me close this blog today with a statement of my own opinion. 248 years ago, America became a nation, undera constitution and the bill of rights. The forefathers of our nation, Washington, Jefferson, Adams,Hamilton, Franklin, and more, if they had seen Trump attack his own capital, destroy it to the point he had his MAGA crowd did, what would they have done? My answer is simple, Trump would never have gotten to the White House and Presidency the first time, never minda second term. Back then, the Founding Fathers would have declared trump a Traitor to the nation, and tarred and feathered him and drove him from the country. The only person in American History, compatable with Trump and all he has done, was Benedict Arnold. In the end Arnold was banished from america to Britain, and died crying to get back in, as he died in his American Uniform. Trump deserves no less for all he has done to America in my opinion.

Unlike Donald John Trump, I served my country for 16 years on a Volunteer basis, I did not hide behind bunyons or anything else. I served with pride and I am proud of it today. Trump was friends with and participated with Jeffery Epstien and his island of perversion. Yet, no soays anything about that, why? Trump couldn’t build his wall he failed, he didn’t get Mexico to pay for it either. On top of it all he mishandled and mismanaged the Covid epidemic, and told Americans to drink Bleach. Yet, people voted him back in office as President again?

America has mad ethe biggest mistake in it’s history, because Americans are gullable, foolish, uneducated and have lost the common sense and logic they need to survive. So, I shall survive an dother salike me will also ofthe same opinion, but out nation will roll down a hill economically, diplomactically, and in the eyes of the world over the next four years. Hang on Americans, the ride is about to get nasty, and badly mangaged by a man who deserves to be in prison. He sexually harrassed and attacked women, he was convicted 34 times, yet, a convict will run the country. What is wrong in America is simple, too many believe Trump’s cons, now we must pay for that mistake, over the next four years. God Bless America folks. For like lal the great empires and civillizations in the world, America has now reached it’s point of decline, beyond repair. It took 248 years to reach it, but here it is folks!

The Threat of Autocracy in America: What Trump’s Presidency Means


December 1st, 2024 has arrived folks, the temperatures are dropping and here in Massachuetts it is 28 this am and clear. The day is clear, althought the weatherman is predicting snowfalls across the nation.

A few thoughts this am, as I wak up have come to mind for me. 1) I am tired of people saying Trump won an overwelming majority. Folks 50 percent to 48 percent is not a mandate, no matter how much the Republicans and Trump want to yell it or say it. It wasa very close election period. Yes Trump won, but, no one should just roll over and let Trump do what he wants with the Government and his nominees. There is a great danger to that outlook and even the Republicans should realize that.

Trump said it and he is doing it, he is creating an Administration to get his retrobution against those who prosecuted him and convicted him 34 times over. He said he would if he won and as we can see by his niminees and picks, he is doing it. How many will make it into the Administration is a question yet to be answered.

The saddest thing that many Republicans and trump’s MAGA followers did not take into consideration, is this though. Because they choose Trump, they have now put JD Vance within a heartbeat of the Presidency! Imagaine that folks, a President Vance if Trump dies in office. Trump is not the healthiest 78 year old out there, take one good look at the way he walks and talks and you will know it. My question is this, are you prepared for a Vance Presidency if trump passes, before the end of his term?

We now have a convicted felon as the Incoming President, and one who is determined to do things his own way, no matter what Congress says or does. Felons are not allowed in many other countries, I remind you. Second thought, why is he attacking Canada and Mexico with Tarriffs of unbelieveable percents? They are our allies, number one, number two, they are our economic partners in many ways. Who do you think will pay for the tarriffs folks, we the people do when he does them. You price on many items will fly thru the roof so to say.

Sadly, the Americans who voted for Trump will now get the chance to learn what is like to live under an Autocratic President and system. OUr Democracy is in serious trouble now and so is the Republic that the founding fathers, Washington, Jeffereson, Franklin, Adams, and more put into place 248 years ago. The American people choice this, and now you shall get the taste of it. We now have an american President coming into office who kissed Putin’s ass and Kim’s too! Putin won, he got what he wanted with his election interfearence and hi splan top get Trump back in office. The only saving point we have in our favor is Trump can not run again, under our laws and constitution, but Congress will have to fight against him trying.

As an American Disabled Veteran myself, who served for 16 years and gave up my health and time to save and protect america, I am greatly saddened by all that has occurred. I can’t change it, thats for sure, but, I know it will now be a process for all Americans to struggle and survive. if you have any brain, do yourself a favor, save money, live simple and hang on, Trump is about to ruin the country and economy and more. Americans, I am warning you now, Trump will give the rich another tax break, he will attempt to destroy the Justice Department, he will attempt tpo affect Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security. The average american who earns 100 grand a year or less will pay for Trump’s bullshit and more. The minorities are about to be god smacked by him also. The blacks and hispanics who voted him in this time, should be prepared to be deported and taxed higher and pushed out of housing and more. Jobs will disappear for them, anger will rise, I am sure. And one other thing, if Trump gets his way and uses the military to deport people, you can be sure he will try to use them to control the american people in more ways. we are about to live under Autocratic Government rules and say. As to Elon Musk helping to run American and run our budget and reform our government, why is America allowing a South African Citizen, do so.?

I can’t change what is about to happen folks, but I can say this, to those who voted for Trump, his MAGA crowd and followers, You asked for what is about to come, I hope to God, we cans urvive it! God Bless The United States and it’s people and military, as foriegn power begin to take control of America through a weak, pathic, idiotic man, you elected President for a second time! As far as I know, I havea right to express my opinion still in America and this is mine. Have fun American MAGAS, and Trump followers, for you have destroyed the American republic and our Democracy!

Don’t put a criminal in the White House folks, be smarter than a Fifth Grader ok!


Two weeks from today, the election day of 2024 will have begun and then it will end. As we get closer to that day and the votes roll in now, by day day, I hope Americans realize what is at stake.

I know the political angst out there, the anger. Trump has riled up his MAGA crowd very well. He has promised many things which he can never give them. He lies to them daily and they swallow it whole, like bottom feeders. Do you really believe a 78 year old, out of shape, unhealthy man is the best person to lead America? He is deranged, lost, chaotic and foolish in all he says. So. tell me why your voting Trump please, try to change my mind.

Before you do though, please overcome a few things for me. 1) Trump failed to sell his own brands of water, and steaks. He failed to run casinos and went bankrupt trying.2) He created a fake University and took people’s money for it. 3) He ripped off a Cancer Society for Children Organization. And that was far before he ran for President the first time.

As President he did nothing for anyone but himself and his rich cronies. Yes he passed a tax plan, it did nothing for anyone making a normal paycheck in America. He failed to build the wall, he promised, and Mexico laughed at him, when he said they would pay for it. He screwed up the Covid response, and many Americans died from it. What kind of President tells Americans, to drink bleach folks, it’s poison!

Nato, laughed at him as President, the one time he went there to speak. because of the embarrassment, he now wants to remove us from Nato. Talk about stupid and selfish. Trump was laughed at Putin and Kim, and the whole world watched as he kow-towed to them both.

Trump then carried on as President and Lost the 2020 election to Biden. I remind all trump is now 78, unhealthy and of diminished capacity mentally, just listen to him daily. Your gonna let a man who Believes in Hannibal Lecter be President? Be real please.

Now Trump was Impeached Twice in Office, skulked out of Washington after he lost and ran a riot against his own government. he called the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and directed them to attack and stop the electoral count. he even paid for them to do so, look it up. Then, when that was happening he sat and watched it on tv, and said his VP deserved to be hung. Wake up folks, he doesn’t care about you!

Trump left office, took with him Top Secret and Secret documents to Mar a Lago his home, why? Who did he show them to, and for what reasons? Please explain folks, please. If the Founding Father’s Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin, had been alive Trump would have been hung by now as a Traitor. So, please explain to me, why your voting for Trump? If you dare!

The only reason this election is close, is because Kamala Harris is a woman! men are scared a woman can’t do the job. It’s a sexist thing and it’s bullshit. let clear something else up as I am at this. No Vice President sets policy folks or puts forth bills. No Vice President tells a President what to do and how to do it. Check History. Their place is to back their President, and to run the Senate, not make decisions on their own. They are there as Vice President to support their party and the President also. Wake up folks, stop blaming Harris for Biden’s decisions. Harris did her job as Vice President and still is.

Let me conclude my final blog on the Presidential Election Race of 2024, in the way. If Harris does not win, America is in dire straits. You will elect then, a 34 times convicted felon. Still facing 92 indictments for crimes he committed. What do you think he is running for office for? He is running to stay out of prison, and to either pardon himself, or force The Justice System, to drop all charges against him. That’s it folks, he can say what he wants, but that is what this is about. If you or I took, Top Secret or Secret Documents home even by accident, we would be in prison, why isn’t Trump there? Explain please! if we set up a insurrection or a riot, like trump did, we would be rotting in prison too, why isn’t Trump?

I have done my blogs, spoken my words and done all I can now. The election is 14 days away! I even Voted already, and Voted Harris! Don’t put a criminal in the White House folks, be smarter than a Fifth Grader ok!

I voted Harris you should too, check the facts!


Today, October 16th, 2024, we are 20 days from the Presidential Election of 2024, and the future and status and safety, of America, is at stake. I know many Americans are tired of the speeches, rhetoric of both candidates. I know Americans are tired of sifting through, lies. Let’s talk some facts now.

  1. January 6th, 2021 did happen, it was called for by President Donald John Trump to stop the certification of the 2020 election and in an attempt to keep power.
  2. It was Donald John Trump who called the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys to Washington, Dc that day.
  3. Trump directed and pointed those individuals, to the capital, and directed them to stop the certification.
  4. Trump then sat back in a dinning room in the White House and watched as those individuals destroyed government property, and made lawmakers hide to stay alive.
  5. Trump sat by as they hunted for his own Vice President to hang, and when told of it said So What?
  6. When his speeches and directions failed, Trump slunked out of Washington.
  7. As he was leaving Trump took Top Secret and Secret Documents to his residence.
  8. Who did Trump show said documents to and why did he have them?
  9. Next, Trump has been convicted 34 times for crimes he has committed.
  10. Trump has been found liable for numerous cases of sexual harassment, to the tune of millions of dollars.
  11. Trump has 92 or more Indictments pending against him.
  12. Trump lost the 2020 Election and still refuses to admit it.
  13. Trump was laughed out of Nato during his one visit in his term.
  14. Trump is not the big businessman he claims, if he was why commit bankruptcy so many times.
  15. He has no economical plans, for anyone.
  16. He killed Roe vs Wade, taking women’s rights away.
  17. He incites violence and anger daily, in his speeches.
  18. Trump is 78, feeble, and fumbling and erratic in his speeches.
  19. If you elect Trump, his health is in question physically and mentally, you will end up with President Vance. Imagine that one folks.
  20. In closing let me say this, Trump was already Impeached Twice in one term. That is sad.

Finally, let me say this, If you believe in Trump and his MAGA bullshit, you have been conned by the greatest, con man ever. Putin loves him fora reason folks. Putin owns him. He will sell us to Russia. Yes I know it sounds extreme, but why is he calling Putin seven times since he lost in 2020?

I listen to MAGA people on the news daily, let me say this. No Maga person can tell you anything, Trump did that was good. They claim he built a border wall nope, he failed. They say he passed a tax plan, yes, he did for himself and his rich cronies only. No Average American benefited from that. He failed to handle the covid crisis also. Listen you are voting only to keep Trump from prison, he has no other reason to run. Face the facts folks. He is deranged, lost, befuddled, stumbling and dangerous.

Vote Harris/ Walz, let’s stop this MAGA bullshit and Trump too, America needs new Leadership, not old problems! I voted Harris you should too, check the facts!

If you vote for Trump, you are voting away your rights, your country and your republic !


October 7th, 2024, is upon us and America is now, 28 days from voting for the next President of the United States. Now I know many Americans are tired of the political fighting and news on tv and elsewhere. Yet, Americans need to realize, the choice they make, November 5th, is vital to preserving, the republic and democracy we have. America is now at a crossroads in time !

Nations and societies, have risen and fallen, under the same stress we have right now. The Aztecs, The Incas, The Romans, all fell, because they chose wrong. Ia America next to fall after, 248 years of existence?

Do we want a Dictator? Do we want government, to control women’s bodies and deny then the health care they need? Do we want a President who will kill health care and prescription low prices for his own gain? Do we want a president ,who is a convicted felon 34 times over, indicted 94 times, a man held libel for sexually abusing and harassing women as President?

Listen, I served 16 years in The U.S. Military, did three branches, folks/ I did Army, Army National Guard and U.S. Navy. I am not a sucker or a loser! We don’t need a President, who can’t appreciate and honor Veterans ! Please tell me Americans are smart enough to see all of the above.

I know many Americans, especially the male population thinks that we can’t have a female President, but your wrong! if a woman can work 40 hours a week, raise children, and run a household, she can run the country, period. If a woman, can be a Representative, a Senator, and a Vice President, she can be President, wake up.

Stop blaming Harris for Biden’s decisions also folks. A Vice President’s job is to support their President’s decisions and policies, not make them. Harris did her job under Biden period. Stop the bullshit and find the facts !

Now, i will say this one more time! Please listen, You Vote for Trump you’re voting for tax cuts for the rich and wealthy. You are voting for a man who is a convicted felon 34 times over and indicted 94 times. Trump was impeached twice in one term already! He wants to kill the Education Department folks, wake up! Trump blames everyone but himself for all he did! It’s sad to see. This man, set up, organized and ran an insurrection and a riot against his own government folks. They tore up the capital, chased down politicians, threatened to kill Trump’s Vice President, and Trump didn’t care. Be real folks, Please !

Add in he skunked out of Washington, never conceded the election, took Top Secret and Secret documents to his home and refused to return them. Why did he have them, why did he take them and who did he show them to? Yet, people want us to forget all of this he has done and elect, him again, are you kidding? Trump is laughed at on the World stage, he wants to pull us from Nato ! Wake up!

Let me close with this, regarding this Election of 2024, if you vote for Trump, you are voting away your rights, your country and your republic ! Sadly, America will fall, we will become a satellite of Russia in no time ! Don’t do this Americans, if you do, you may as well, buy a copy of Babel, and learn russian, America will be done and will have fallen !
