Saturday/ObamaCare Problem/ Health/Stories


     Happy Saturday to all! 

Today I will be sitting through a film at Primerica with my wife who is a member of theirs. It lasts about an hour and a half and then it will be onto a Computer fair to see what they have in house for my XPS 420. It’s old but reliable and keeps on ticking, so do I so to say. I have only 4 gigs of ram in it and want to double it if I can, and then see about a two gig video card too. Computer fairs have just about everything so who knows I may find it all or nothing but at least I will see what they have and walk some for fun with my wife.

 The so-called Obama care fiasco has many people angry and upset with the President and Secretary of Health. In the end the ones the people should be mad at is themselves really, have patience and understand no web site or server that handles so much traffic at one clip can be built without flaws that quickly. I hear of people who are losing the Insurance Policies they have now due to the new law, and my thought is if that is the case, then give them Obama care upfront to keep them going till the glitches can be worked out and in the end they will already be signed up and can opt out later if they want. Solution given here for that  mess!

Talking Health mine is improving each day I believe, I breathe fine and my surgical wounds have healed well. The soreness in my chest is healing well and interfering less each night with my sleeping. I was told no Chemo or Radiation for my cancer that they got it all when they took my middle lobe of my right lung. So far so good Doctors and thanks for a job well done at the Veteran’s Hospital in West Haven, Connecticut.  I had and have a great team of Doctors there who saved my life and kept me going, then you have the ICU Recovery Team who got me back on my feet and moving very fast. Thank you all!

My Stories are still on Amazon’s KIndle E-Books folks, I did remove my latest and longest one, Who Makes Us, Us! because it is an unfinished story and not well written by me. The other little book I took down is the THree Mandolin Murder Mysteries in One, the reviews were bad and I don’t need that now.

A fun read about the antics of the crew, and life aboard a navy vessel. The author has a good sense of humor and made the words come alive. Review of my story,

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZPFKYS
Disappearing Hams

False accusation is the real history of a man who falls in love and marries Jo and after the divorce she accuses it to sexual crimes against their daughters, thing that had never happened.
It returns to inspire love and marries another woman but Jo and the daughter never told the true.
He re-composes the relation with his daughters when already they were older, but the time cannot go back-
I recommend it, is a very touching book.

Vote Democratic, Here is Why!


     September 4th, 2012, The election cycle in America begins in full swing and will end on November 6th when American‘s pick the next President. Sadly our choices are not the best in my opinion, I wish we had Hillary Clinton again, but life goes on. We have the choice of staying the course set by President Obama or going back to unbelievable Republican ways. If we are smart we will stay the course and give President Obama his four more years to straighten out Bush’s 8 year hole he put us in! Besides you can’t dig a hole for 8 years, using big machines and then ask one man to fill it back in four can you?

Whats at stake here Ladies and Gentlemen are the following issues; 1) Jobs and the economy as a whole. 2) Social  Security and Medicare.4) The U.S. Postal Service and more jobs and 5)Taxes on the middle class and poor vs taxing the rich and able to pay! Face the facts America, the Republicans want to tax the middle class and poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Sadly, we can not allow it now, we have come too far to go backwards now. 6) Healthcare Reform or as the Republican’s call it Obama Care!. If it is removed will cost many seniors, elderly and disabled individuals more and in the end leave them uninsured and hurting with large medical bills and costs. Wake up folks,do you want your mom, dad, child, grandchild, not to be able to get cared for because of pre-existing illnesses or disabilities. or do you want them paying hundreds or thousands more a year for prescriptions, just so the Republicans can say we beat Obama. I doubt it folks, it is our parents, our spouses, our families and grandkids and more who need this healthcare reform as it is, tell the Republicans to leave it be! This Election in 2012 will determine not only the near future of America but the far-flung future also, when we as individuals will not be here to see it. Are we going to be the first generation of Americans to leave the country worse off to our grandkids and future generations? Are they going to look back at us in a few decades or a century and go, those bastards left us all messed up and deep in debt and we couldn’t get out! Lets not do this to our future Generations, stay clear of the Republicans at the polls, and vote Democratic, and maybe one day (2016) I hope, America will elect its first Female President in Hillary Clinton and she will do what she intended in 2008, and make us stronger and more secure. But for now, we need President Obama, we need, Healthcare and Medicaid, and medicare, we need Social Security to be refunded and taken care of, we need jobs, and the economy turned around and we need President Obama to lead us to our next level of a decent economy and to stop us from dropping into a third world nation with no promise!. Vote Democratic and make America Great once more!

Break the Blockade in Washington!


     June 15th, 2012 has arrived and all is really quiet on the political front it seems. Are we about to get a media blitz from the Republican Party come September or October for Romney’s mad run at the White House? Can his money really buy him the Presidency? Lets hope not, for America’s sake!

      Half way through June and it seems  no improvements have been made in the job market, medicare,medicaid and no rescue plan is in sight for us in the trade Agreements, Social Security or Postal Service jobs either!  The only part of the government actually working and thriving is the State Department under Hillary Clinton, why is that?

        I have now live through so many presidents it is silly really, when you get to 56, all you really want to do is have one damn good one in office dedicated to helping seniors and veterans and americans of all colors, races and nationalities. One that will stop the bleeding of the United States‘s money and finances and make us solvent once again. One that can and will return our credit rating as a country to the top once more and accomplish something period. A dormant America is not good for America, the World Economy or the World period, without America the world economy flounders and slows to a halt.  Sad isn’t it really, but true, we need to lead for it to all work. It doesn’t mean lead in wars, policing or fighting other countries, it means lead with brains, inprovements, science,financial control and trade agreements and in health and education too. America always led in the past and the world flourished and grew faster than anything in history and America needs to do it again.

        I tire of excuses from the Republican side about what we can do, or should do or why they disagree with President Obama on issues and why they won’t pass a bill worth the shit in Congress or trhe Senate. Sadly changes need to be made this election year, but the change is not to be in the presidency, it should be in the Republican controlled congress and they should be reduced back to the minority period. They are responsible for the log jams in Washington not anyone else, so when you vote in November, and all of us should ove r18 and legal, I say keep President Obama, trash some of the Republican Congress and lets break the blockade in Washington an dmove the country forward.

 

     

12 Things Presidential Candidates need to do!


The dog days of summer are coming and the heat will rise outside and the campaign for the Presidency will too. There will be mud-slinging and more before it is over come November 2012. The summer will bring debates on policy,economics.and healthcare. It will bring speeches on war, the military and more, but will the two candidates face the real issues as the American People see them, or run from them?

       The real issues for the 2012 Election will be the ones to watch for folks. Can either man come up with a good plan to save the Economy, jobs, HealthCare and Medicaid and Medicare as well as save Social Security? Can either one promise to save Veteran’s Benefits and take care of our veterans the way they should be cared for? Will either man be able to find a way to save the Postal Service that so many elderly and disabled depend on for medications and more? What will happen to America in the next four years whether it is under President Obama or Romney? Will America ever regain its credit rating, will America ever level the trade agreements and stop policing and fighting wars for others and take care of its own? These questions need to be put to the candidates and answered not bullshit questions so they can dodge the real issues.

       You show me one of the two who will save Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, stop policing other countries, and creat jobs and level the trade agreements maybe I will vote for them! You show me one candidate who is brave enough to admit they need to help the Postal Service, Trade, the economy and stop all wars and I may think about voting for them. You want the votes of middle america, lower america and the minorities then you need to address immigration, homeland security, and fixing the programs that help americans! Not run from them or avoid them, that isn’t the way to go!

       As the temperatures rise across America, and the summer begins,  we the American People must make a choice of which candidate to choose come November 2012 and I will only vote for the one I firmly believe can address the issues at stake as follows:

       1) The Economy and improving it by creating jobs, giving tax breaks to companies that need them.

       2) Who will address the trade markets and our trade agreements with China and others who now have the advantage over us and level it!

        3) Who will stop borrowing from Social Security and save it for the future.

         4) Who will preserve and protect Medicaid, Medicare, Healthcare and repair the Postal Service.

         5) Who will keep us out of  wars and bring out troops home for all time, and not get us involved again.

         6) Who will save the benefits and plans of the New Deal and make America a better country to live in.

           7) No new taxes period they aren’t needed, lets lower the pay/ salaries of Congress, both Houses, they don’t work they shouldn’t be paid!

           8) Bring back manufacturing, bring back being creative, innovative and inventing and let’s make America a forerunner for all.

          9) You want to be President again or anew, then you must face these issues, economy, jobs, manufacturing, trade agreements, refunding of social security, veteran’s benefits, healthcare,Medicaid, medicare and more. You can’t run and hide without addressing them each.

         10) Face the biggest issue of all for America, create jobs, create manufacturing, create peace and keep healthcare. Don’t destroy it improve it. We need help for the middle class, lower class, not more tax breaks for the rich and upper class. Lets level the playing field and do it correctly.

          11) There must be a way to make jobs for all, not just for some, to get the economy going give companies tax breaks in their home towns or cities across the nation. Lets do something for America and Americans instead of for the politicians and the rich.

          12) Final thing, if you want to be President and lead, then stand the hell up and lead, don’t cower, don’t bend, don’t be a wuss. But don’t police other nations with our troops, bring them home, no more wars!

Lets Fix America !


The political race is on for four years in the White House, the battle is now engaged by both sides and about to step up and hit with force, in the American People’s faces. While President Obama and Romney will be going head to head, please stop and look at both of their views on certain issues: 1) Wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere, they need to be stopped and what is ours in forces and weapons need to come home. 2) Watch for who will save Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Veterans Benefits, these programs are the ones keeping many helpless, homeless and needy people alive and giving them a chance to. 3) Health Care– who has the better plan 4)  immigration Who will toughen the laws, but allow those here to stay in someway 5) Jobs, Who can really create jobs and bring back manufacturing and make our economy go forward 6) Who will change the Trade Agreements to a point where they favor America’s needs and our exports once more out shine and out measure our imports once more on the world market. 7) Who will step in and save the Postal Service that is needed by many millions across the USA to deliver our medications and things we depend on daily to survive. 8 ) Who has the better leadership skills period and will stand up for all Americans not just the rich or poor but all. 9) Who can reformat, reinvent the tax codes in the US to fit the current population and make it work, without raising them on the poor and middle class. We have no more to give Uncle Sam is bleeding out the poor and middle class to save the rich, wrong! 10) We saved big business and Wall Street and companies, now collect back what we loaned them as a country and lets use it for good works not bad.

       We also need to elect a congress that will support which ever man we elect as President. You can’t give the throne to one man and then put his opposition into check and balance him and expect him to be able to accomplish much, it’s like blockading a country, you can’t work around it well.

       As a country we screwed up by electing a Democrat as President and a congress full of Republicans to checkmate him. What we got was a blockade that stopped anything real from being accomplished and it is the American people’s fault now. Lets clean it up and make whoever is in the White House have a supporting cast to accomplish what needs to be done.

 

The Fight for Survival of America’s Middle and Lower Classes


      The fight for the survival of America’s Middle Class and it’s working force has begun. The Presidential Race of 2012, will indeed, tell us if America’s lower class and middle class will survive for the future. We the people must decide now who is to win the most powerful position in American History and the Worlds, too. The American Presidency deserves to be filled with a man who has the knowledge and ability to make good decisions not for themselves, but for the people.

     The stance of President Obama, versus the stance of Romney is what will decide the November Election on November 6th. I just hope the American people have enough sense to stick with what we have and not trade positions!

       Before you vote come November think, and think hard, the Children of the fifties and sixties need to control the outcome of this election. We need to save the Postal Service, Medicare,  and Social Security we have all paid into the last two and there is no reason for the Postal Service to go either.

        Yes the Economy is the priority and Obama has worked his ass off trying to fix it to be opposed by his rivals in the Senate and House. If we reelect President Obama and change the outcome in Congress and give his one he can work with, the country will turn around. The blockade in Congress has to be broken to let Obama find ideas that will work.Manufacturing is beginning a comeback now, and the housing market is low, but in the end you can’t improve a bad thing like our economy is, without having support.

       The Republicans borrow from Social Security, want to kill Medicaid and Medicare and would let the Postal System die if they could. But none of that helps the American Economy or the job market does it. Manufacturing coming back will do it if you allow the democrats to win this fall. This country was built on hard work and the american blue-collar people, we need to put them back to work. We need more factories, more Manufacturing, more innovation and inventions and tax breaks to bring the big companies back to the USA. 

We need the trade agreements rewritten and improved to increase our exports over our imports and to stabilize the housing market to turn it around. We can’t sit dead in the water as a country as the bickering, blockading and bullshit continues to harm our country and way of life.

       Save Social Security, Save Medicaid and Medicare and Save the United States Postal Service. Create jobs, give tax breaks to companies to stay in this country and  correct the Trade Agreements now. We need a better America not a weaker one, leave the Military alone too, it has to keep protecting us, don’t send them to other lands and ask them to police there, just keep them here and use that money at home. That alone will help America come back!

 

10 Silly Stupid Things/ Life!


      Funny little things people don’t realize or see, are what sometimes can bother you or me, or at least make us laugh or cry. They happen on television, or in real life situations, or by accident but they do happen don’t they?

       1) Ever stop at a convience store to use the rest room?  A man runs in yelling where is the men’s room and holds himself, a woman walks in where’s the ladies room and doesn’t even cross her legs, why is that?

       2) A woman can shop till they drop no matter how tired she is as long as she likes the sale items, a man wants to go get what they want and get the hell out?

   3)   Women mature at younger ages than men, period! It’s a fact of nature and humanity, that’s why they notice boys, before boys notice girls, hormones and fermones.

   4)  Men think they rule the world, when in fact women do, even in America. Ask President Obama who his boss is, his wife! Ask any married man or one in a relationship who the boss is they say themselves, put the ring on and the woman controls!

     5) Politics, ever notice during primaries, politicians will change and say whatever to get your vote, but once elected they can’t give what they promised? Happens every four years doesn’t it?

     6) Everyday I see CNN and newscasts across America, the economy is getting better, gas is coming down and houses are getting worth more! Reality nothing changes we are losing jobs, house prices are going down  and companies are going out of business. Just ask JC Penny, Macy’s Sears, and many more now! Why do they lie to us so?

      7) Video games are good for your children and great for fun! Bullshit, they get violent, teach killing and make our children fat and lazy. Notice that at all?

      8) The Catholic and other churches preach one thing and do another, they molest children, hide the ones who do it and preach not to. Why is that?

     9) How come when a woman gains weight and goes out of shape a man is not allowed to call her overweight or fat? Yet when a man gets over weight we get your too big, rfat, you got a pot belly, etc?

  10) How come women can buy thousand of dollars worth of shoes to match almost every outfit they buy, but when a husband wants a toy or a tool he has to beg for it?

     These are just ten of the silly things one can find in an American town or marriage or life. Silly they may be, we all live with them and laugh and cry over them all and carry-on. Life shall not stop for us, no matter what goes on in the world, but, neither will silly, stupid things either!

 

   

Santorum is Gone, What Next?


      April 11th, 2012, Rick Santorum suspends his campaign for the presidency the day before. Now we come down to the final run for the White House and who shall occupy it for the next four years come January 2013. It is about time actually and I think at this time, there has to be an agreement between Willard Mitt Romney and the final two Republican opposers at this time, Gingrich and Paul.

        Mr. Gingrich has already stated Mitt Romney will more than likely be the Nominee, so why stay in the race and cause unrest/ Easy Mr. Gingrich wants a say in the Republican Platform, the same can be said for Mr. Ron Paul. They want their voices represented in the platform opposing President Obama and his Democratic platform. Well I am sure Romney will cooperate if you just ask him guys, it is time for game , set, match and start over.

        Still issues face the Presidential Race for both sides. The wars that rage and the battle we get involved in across the globe must come to a stop, as far as American involvement goes. We can’t afford to spread out military and budgets so thin fight other countries wars or policing them.

        America’s other problems come from bad trade agreements we have made with many countries and being the USA we are stubborn to pull out of them too. Yet they are destroying our economy and our way of life and stealing companies and business from Americans. No factories to create and build and make products makes us weak, we need to give tax breaks to companies to keep them here and lure others back home. If American Companies registered as American by their owner leave American Shores they need to be penalized and fined and taxed higher by us.

        The home market in the USA is at it’s all time lowest overall market value in many decades. Proud Americans who work day after day, to earn a chance to buy a home are losing their homes due to no jobs and inability to pay their bills. Is this the America we want, a country filled with empty homes on the side of the streets, as Americans also beg for food and squat and live in boxes? No I think not Americans Politicians need to face the issues now, and get a move on to fix the housing Problems, the problems of homeless and hungry people and our own country.

        Many of the social values Rick Santorum brought up are important also, yet right now the biggest destruction happening in American History is hitting our Economy and ways of life. We must turn it all around now, or become a Third World Nation.

         lets let te Election for the White House and November begin with an agreement between the Republicans and the Democrats, not to attack, change or destroy or remove, the benefits many Americans have earned through working years. Leave Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and Veteran’s benefits alone. Don’t ask disabled, elderly, people to pay the way, don’t take away what they live on and depend on each month. Many will end up eating cat food and living in cardboard boxes, or lining up at Veterans homes.

        Fight a fair fight to see who wins the White House, but don’t destroy the benefits and help for the needy. May the best man win of course!.

 

On to The General Election Please!


Sometimes, life takes strange twists and turns in ones race to get to the end, and other times it is destiny that leads one to the end result. It matters not what others think, it does matter what the end result will be, no matter what. The math of The Republican Primary this year, delegate count is the ultimate number all must watch as it gets nearer to Mitt Romney winning it. The numbers do not lie, is all I can say to Mr. Rick Santorum and the world, spending more money in other states isn’t going to win it for you Santorum you said that yourself, so why continue?

        The time to end this debacle of a Republican Primary is now, Newt Gingrich‘s campaign is over his funds are gone and dried up, Ron Paul hangs on, but no one will tak ethe elderly one serious and his views are more liberal than conservative anyway.  The end is here Mr. Santorum let Romney now fight his race against President Obama and lets really see if he can beat him or not. I warn all though, President Obama is loaded for bear and ready for anything anyone will throw at him and as I see it now no matter the Republican Nominee, you still have to beat the Incumbant who is beginning to turn things around, look at the numbers.

        I have never been a soothsayer nor a fortune-teller, or one who claims to see the future and know what is coming next, but it sure looks like this race to the Presidency is one between Romney and Obama to me. Who wins or who loses will depend on perceptions of these men in the American Public and at this time I can tell you two areas that will decide this as far as population goes. It won’t  be die- hards of either party, it will be independents like myself and in the end the female gender, women carry power in elections, and if you mess with female issues you deserve what you get from them. 

        Decades ago, Roe vs Wade and the courts solved women’s issues big time with the decision won by women. Do not tell a woman what to do with her body, that is  their own personal place to go, Do not tell them whether they can or can not have a child for religious reasons or any other, they know what they want and can make up their own minds. As to contraceptives of different sorts, men and women use them to prevent unwanted children it’s a fact of the world and to stop supplying them would be wrong too. After Rape drugs are needed for I agree with women, if raped why would they want to keep a rapists child?

          I tire of politicians who tell us what to do with our lives, but I also tire of the ones who don’t get the ideas and thoughts the American people really need help with too.  Stay away from Medicare, Stay away from Medicaid, stay away from Social Security and stay away from Veteran’s Benefits, the people on these items need them each and every freaking penny they get. They are not the rich ones who live high on the hog, they are the ones who have to budget each day and week to survive and take hours in a store to figure how they can eat because of money limits. Wake the hell up politicians!. The saddest thing about the election year cycle and the way the election is going is too many damn Republicans want to take from the poor give to the rich and raise the income of the rich by cutting their taxes. How about we do what Mr. Buffett said, make the rich pay more which is their fair share for a change!.

         Anyway I am reaching a little far now off my original subject of the Republican Primary Race and the meaning of Romney’s wins last night. In the end though isn’t it time we all get a view of what the fall election will be and end this republican debacle now? Lets get to fixing the economy, trade agreements, jobs, and trimming budgets and making Health Care Work!

 

A Real Historic Look at America Today


      The Ides of March are now passing today, and the year is slowly passing away, the spring has sprung yet the Republican Primary is not done! Why is that, and why can’t the Republicans figure out how to get their shit in one sock so to say? Good question isn’t it?

       The pursuers in this Republican Primary act like they can catch the front-runner and make a difference, but they can’t and all they are doing is destroying their own chances as a party in the Republican Race for President. Not a one so far has proven at all they can take on President Obama and the Democrats. It’s a Stooges skit that is funny, stupid and a serious way to stop your own party from winning any seats in the house, the Senate or the White House. Your destroying yourselves in America’s eyes. can’t you see that?

       If the Supreme Court kills Obama’s Health Care Law and it’s Mandate the law itself can not stand either. If that happens and many Americans who can’t afford health care at all due to rising prices of medications, and care and hospital costs, guess who they will be pissed at, the Republicans!

       The same Republicans who raise taxes, have borrowed and borrowed from our Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare and taken from the elderly to give to the rich. Sad that America, must take from its elderly these days, to support its youth and kill off some of the best generations in American History this way, isn’t it?

        Next the Republicans want to cut Veterans Benefits right? They better not, if you think PTSD killings and acts are on the rise, take away the medical benefits from Veterans and you better hide. What is wrong with Congress, The Senate these days, why do you want to cut back what elderlys need and then, borrow from what we paid into and not worry anymore? Your destroying past generations, your destroying and not leaving anything for the current generation and in the end your piling debt after debt on future generations of proud Americans who have to carry on when we are gone. Wake the hell up in Washington, DC, If you can’t take care of the elderly and the veterans of all ages and the disabled, how the hell can you run a country and make it work, no wonder we are in the Red!

       Stop the bleeding of American taxpayers and stop the bleeding of our elderly and Veterans!  Stop taking away what people paid into for decades of their lives and leave it be. You want to improve things let me at your budget, I will cut the fat instead and leave a lean monster, like the average american’s household is currently being run on. No more wars, no more policing the world, we can’t afford it, No more giving to other nations pull back and take care of our own. Lets rebuild manufacturing and blue collar jobs, give some tax breaks to big companies to come back, Lets rewrite and improve the trade Agreements and start exporting a lot more than we import once more!

        In the end my friends, The Republicans are killing their own chances, the Democrats are land locked by them in Congress and the Senate. We have no consensus, no way to move forward that works, and the politicians all play patty cake together in the end.

       To improve what we have, to represent the people, the politicians in Washington, DC, duly elected by us the American people, have stopped representing us, are only representing the rich, we should throw out those who do this and get normal citizens elected once more.
