The National USA Elections Promises,Money,Diversity and court Jesters

I have not really been watching the political circus we now have as elections.The people had so long a ever smaller choice of truly qualified candidates to put into the most powerful office in the world.We seem more bent on electing folks who are of a particular sect or religion or a particular lifestyle.

It doesn't seem to matter these days if there is a track record of business bankruptcies that cost hard working people their very ability to support their families.To support the family members that depend on them as bread winners.

 WE THE PEOPLE seem to be watching as increasingly smaller and smaller candidates can actually step onto the podium with any idea of our lives out here in the real world.

The world where our poor and elderly have to chose whether to buy food or pay through the orifices to have health insurnaces.Many elderly also are among the poorest of citizens.Many elderly have the grown children and grandchildren also living with them.There may have been that candidate who bought a company to "flip" the company for a profit.Workers be damned!Then all those faithful workers find that new owner fires them for the prior CEO not running the compay with a profit.Profitable businesss rarely get sold but the workers are always the  blame for the CEO's failings.

 These poor/Elderly can not even get life insurance if they have Diabetes or have corrected cardiac problems.Don't believe it? Apply to certain organizations that boast of discounts and insurances for the elderly over 60years of age...The riders on the life insurances will and DO refuse to insure those who have pre-existing conditions.Corrected or not.

Try to fill out the forms sent to you with honest answers to those 3questions asked.You will find a rejection in your mailbox.I know people who have done just that with rejections due to those 3 simple questions.I thought this kind of discrimination was illegal?What happened to all people being insured without barriers to them?Many folks can not even look forward to a decent burial without even minimal life insurance. Wheres all those lawyers that are willing to sue eveyone else,but sorta turn a selectivly blind eye to the insurance companies dealings. Oh wait a minute...Insurancecompanies have thousands of those attorneys don''t they? hmmm.

 A couple decades back we boomers were going to change the world.We were going to do away with the Electoral college to bring true democracy to this country again.We were going to bring equality to ALL people.

This present world was to be the shangra-la where affordable electric cars were everywhere.Solar energy would make power free to everyone.Cities would farm the ocean floors as our populations overrun the earth.Countries would have settled the nuclear question between world destruction an world  harmony.

Tibet and other peaceful nations would finally find freedom to lead the world in the ways of peace since most of the world finds it easier to kill,dominate and destroy for profit.
 Flowers in gunbarrels in place of bullets.

Smaller friendlier tax free living for all.IRS shrunk to a federal office as it once was suppose to be.Not the loan shark/enforcer of the working citizen.Enough tax to support our beloved country and let our people teach the world to work together.WE need to raise and strengthen ourselves before we are capable of helping the rest est of the world.

The World was not looked at as it became in this present day where people are so fractured and separated i n viewpoints.

This election maybe we should watch all of the show pieces on stage who are either actually serious about their possible jobs.The most of them will stay long enough to run off with the money of fools who have tried to pray for changes to our world.Folks who really do not have the actual ability to votefor those qualified to even hold the job of President.

I have already said what I would like in a candidate.Smaller government bring our country back up as the industrial leader it could again be.Educate our people to excelas we ounce did.Our people will fight for betterment if given the freedom to do so.Maybe if we can afford it ...again.WE THE PEOPLE were ounce said to be living in the land of milk and honey.

We need people who are serious and  qualified to hold such a resposible position in this world.Wedo not need opinionated blowhards thats spout Archie Bunker dialog and appear as buffoons and clowns to the people of this country and the rest of the world.

We need leaders who will be taken seriously for their actions.Actions speak louder than words.

9/11 WE THE PEOPLE Will Never Forget Those Responsible For Lost Lives Lost Souls Lost Non Combantants One Day The Truth Will Be Known To Us All

I was shopping in the largest truck stop in the world in Walcott Iowa. The Day was a typical Autumn Day, cool and sunny with puffy white clouds in a blue sky. The mood of the people went from friendly to dead quiet with the exception of numerous truck drivers standing with other travelers around one of the televisions that were displayed to sell.

The crowd was growing in numbers by what was being shown.There were full grown men and women with looks of shock on their faces. I noticed many had tears running in streams down their weathered faces.Some were softly sobbing in restrained sorrow.
I stepped closer to find what would be so dreadful to so many. This kind of scene, I had only seen as a child when a man named Kennedy was shot in the early 1960s.That day My childhood hero who was The  United States President was taken by cowards  Hiding in the shadows.

This day was much the same mood as back then. I watched with disbelief as I heard a moment by moment description of the horrific scenario on the tiny screen. Two commercial Passenger jets were hitting the twin towers in New York City.The first followed by the second jet only moments later. The fires spreading from the impacts into the floors above and below that fiery covered impact. The people standing with me were shocked into silence.

 My thoughts were it was hopefully a trailer for a movie. This was not a movie.The evil minds who ever they were, had planned and executed the most dark and evil attack on American Soil In History. Over 3000 innocent lives including children had been murdered.

The building fell in just minutes leaving the Ex-military men to ponder if there was explosive charges in the lowest levels as well as the planes impact damage.Others wondered how many were injured by the falling building and pieces Firemen tried to rush in and rescue people as the building began to collapse.They never made it out of the building.Policemen died as they tried to guide bring order to the panicking chaos of those trying to run for their lives.

Modern media brought all this into out consciousness thou this group of people were hundred of miles away from the humans monsters who forced the planes to such a hellish demise.
Many moment went by while the news people described the events unfolding in front of us.
I watched as the disbelief turned from sorrow to discussion and then into the type of anger that in another day and time would drive responsible men and women to form into violent mobs looking for a rope and a tree.

This type of anger was what drove the entire nation for months. The mood is natural under the circumstances. After the lynching in that prior time the victim is dead and everyone feels both guilty and safe.They may never actually know who did the dirty deed or why. They feel safe because they now hope either the real culprits learned a lesson or that ...Maybe, Just Maybe they actually hung the real perpetrator. I spent the next few days helping move freight out of Bayonne New Jersey where the military had cut many road signs down to prevent terrorists from using them to escape. They feared the possibility of more destruction by mad men. I saw the dust and smoke days later while waiting to load my truck with what ever I could help with.These attacks had harmed my country.

There are so many different stories to this horrible historic event that we can only hope and pray that those inside were spared suffering. I hope  that when those responsible, Whatever the actual scenario, meet their maker,they will be held eternally to pay for that deed. May those who were victims rest in peace. May their  Guardian Angels never let The ones who were responsible ever have any peace.

Pray for that and Karma to Be exacting

Till Next Time My Friends, Pray that one day we may find a way to make people want to live in peace and prosperity. Things prosper when we work to build instead of destroy.

Hurry Hurry Step Right Up See The Greatest Show On Earth

Well folks,here we go again.It is election time in the great and variable USA.We are now getting ready to elect more government employees to office.I am hoping to find those who will reduce the size of our overstuffed bureaucracy to be more manageable.

A government that actually listens to those living paycheck to paycheck.That is for those who still have a paycheck.There is thousands of us in the Good ole USA that are working tons of hours with more expenses left at the end of the months than money to pay our bills.That will never be a problem for politicians.

Once in office money is never a problem in their lives.Their credit becomes better than their credibility.The times in their lives seem to grow farther and farther from OUR every day realities.The facts become blurred.

The issues that effect our lives are farther and farther into a  fantasy world of the elite.I would not think a subject matter of how anyone is to pay next months electric bill or how we might be able to make the mortgage would be the topic of discussion over caviar and imported crackers.

 I would hope the one elected does not have any bones rattling around to clutter up the office closets.I would hope the future Pres. does not have to be related to anyone who might have not had sex with that women.or anyone who sues as many folks who disagrees with them.I hope the Next President is able to be experienced in diplomacy rather than belittlement.Imagine a nuclear power leader being browbeaten by a overinflated egotistic President with absolutely no ability to deal with others.That could definitely light up the world...
 The next president needs to have worked with those who are not as fortunate as they are.We the people need to elect a person based on their abilities to hold such a job.Our country is in need of infrastructure rebuilding.Our country needs to rebuild our industrial structure which will help unemployment slow down.

Our country needs one more thing.We need to stop the war machine that is crippling our soldiers.They go into hellish no winnable worlds to help those who seem bet on self conquest and centuries of killing each other.We need to regroup and stop trying to build empires.It has nearly destroyed many nations in the past thousands of years.

Empire building ever works because the lines of control are stretched beyond the ability to control.China is a fine example of this in that it now has an economy that is faltering with the shear humongous size of its Tibet occupations , Island building and occupation of the free china cities.WE in the USA need to realize that.

Whoever becomes the president in this greatest country in the current world will have to look in his own backyard first before reaching over seas.We need to employ those who want to work.We need to feed those who live in our own house first.We need to take care of our  own people first so that our people have the strength to care for their families first.Then we can begin to take care of the rest of the worlds people.This is what is the right thing to do.
 We in this country also have a problem as Europe has recently see happening to their countries.The rampant crossing of those who are fleeing for their lives ad welfare.We need to place pressure on countries that seem out of control with crime so the population is in fear of the very leaders who should be helping them.Maybe a united effort by those countries who are being "invaded"by those fleeing for their lives.Maybe they would return to back across ed the border to change their native country for the better...
 Maybe you agree,maybe not...Please study those shoveling the political poop at you i the next few months as it will suffacate those who don't recogise it arriving.WE have the resources to find the truth and learn who is best by their records.Past choices speak loudly and neither skunks or tigers change their stripes or characteristics.

Till next time my friends,stay healthy and keep your brain in gear

Open Letter to First Lady Michele Obama Regarding nutritional Health

For the past few decades My diet has been all the wonderful foods that I grew up on.Meat and potatoes,Pastas,Burritos,Rice dishes.Followed with delicious deserts.Rich sauces to make it all taste wonderful.Chili dishes to die for......And I almost did!

I had finished a wonderful pasta meal complete with a marinara sauce.The evening was ahead with a DVD movie to top it all off.The movie started ad was into the first 20minutes of a scifi movie called Witch blade.A fictitious account of a magic bracelet that...well you gotta view it to get it.This is not about movies or fictional events.This is about very real and hard to believe life threatening events.Nutrition and health.

I was suddenly   totally blind in my right eye and foggy in my left eye.I sat in the dark with no thoughts of trying to move.I blinked my eyes and rubbed my eyes in disbelief.I was blind and did not know why.

 I calmed myself and hit the speed dial on my fone to the local hospitals Emergency rooms.The operator switched me to the answering machine for some nursing service.She switched me for the next 4 fone calls for help.I asked her to please connect me to get advise and help.The operator told me to hang up and dial 911 or call for an ambulance.

I told her I was now blind and she said,"look sir,I can only connect you to the answering machine,if they don't want to answer you the it is your problem.
 20minutes later my vision slowly returned and I made my way to the person sharing the house.I was rushed to the ER.

The hospital stabilized me.I had what is called a TIA(Traumatic Inshemic Attack).
This type of attack is on the Internet.In this case it was temporary.It can disable or kill.I got lucky.Something greater than myself was once again watching over me.

  1. The Doctor said I was to have MRI/Cat scans and Ultrasound with blood tests.The following morning I was transferred to a larger hospital for stents to be put into my heart.The arteries were 99%clogged with the fat from all the wonderful food I had lived on.

Two days later after more tests I had to go into the Operating room.The tests showed that I also had 99% blockage in my right artery in my neck.The TIA may have been  accompanied with a blood clot passing thru my eye.

After surgery I was supercharged with energy.100%oxygen and blood flow.I now knew why the last 9months have been so difficult to even write.There was no energy and my thinking was very difficult.I was dying from my arteries being unable to supply the body with fuel to continue.

 Regarding this letter to MRS.Obama....I have always been a man who believed i freedom when it is available.The things we eat are filled with poisons to sell the products.Things such as MSG :Related chemically to formaldehyde/embalming fluid.Many ingredients contain enormous amounts of sodium in one form or another.The fat content is horrible when you become aware of how it is slowly killing people.

I believe the time has come to insist the food producers become more responsible for the healthy content going into what is consumed.I was not so aware of what can happen to folks who are falsely appearing 2 be heathy with a deadly time bomb ticking in their bodies.

We should never have to fear what we eat from our food producers.They should be producing healthy food that ad not subtract from our welfare.I will hope those reading this will write the people in the offices of power to ask for laws to restrict harmful additives from our food from any source inside ad outside the USA.We need to empower those who can make these changes to do so.


My experience here is real.I was a person who was blind by choice to the food we eat everyday.My family was the average American family.Blue collar and hard working.We ate assortment of food that became the American dream from all over the world.The diet that has slowly become less and less healthy as years rolled on.

 Please write to the first lady regarding this open letter to her.WE THE PEOPLE need to tell her she is moving in the right direction with regards to changing our eating habits.We all to work to push food producers to make our food safe.


This is neither political or even a philosophical issue.It is a matter of feeling as good as you can for your entire life.That age old hymn is very relevant too me now.If  your not familiar with it I will paraphrase:I once was blind,but now I see.....Literally!
 After  a long absence,I am therefore I write.
