THE WRONG ROAD TAKEN
THE WRONG ROAD TAKEN
Thanks to Trump this country has lost something. We now travel on a road not representative of our country.
But I think we were already on that road. Trump only sped up the journey. It’s time for a U turn and find our way back to what we once were.
I pray we have not journeyed down that road so far that there is no chance of a return of this country’s intended direction.
FAKE NEWS
FAKE NEWS
I have heard Trump brag, on a CNN broadcast, that he is the greatest president that this country has ever had.
Should this make CNN guilty of distributing fake news?
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN:
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN:
our country has a capable president.
cabinet heads are qualified to do the job rather than their only qualification is who they worship.
everything government officials say is the truth.
TRUMP’S ELECTIONS: BEYOND BELIEF
TRUMP’S ELECTIONS: BEYOND BELIEF
It’s hard to believe the luck, both good and bad, when it comes to elections.
In elections he wins there is no cheating, no noneligible voters voting and no voter fraud.
However, when it comes to elections Trump loses there is a vast amount of cheating and untold numbers of noneligible voters voting along with a massive amount of voter fraud.
Is that ‘luck’ following Trump, OR WHAT?
A POEM FOR 9/11
A POEM FOR 9/11
Twenty-five years ago today our world changed.
It is estimated that between 50 and 200 people jumped from the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. Marked forever in our memory will be the vision of them falling. Who can put themselves in the thought process that went into that decision and the conditions under which it was made? They did not choose death. They were murdered.
This poem is dedicated to those poor souls and all lives claimed that fateful day.
JUMPERS
They were like birds flying,
Leaping from flaming windows,
No wings to purchase air,
No hope of flying home.
They were like birds flying,
Tumbling in twos, alone,
Flashing by in a smoke-filled sky
While crowds watched in horror.
They were like birds flying
Flights, imprinting the nation’s memory.
They were like omens flying,
Carrying us into a world of fear.
TRUMP AND THE NEWS MEDIA ARE BOTH GUILTY
TRUMP AND THE NEWS MEDIA ARE BOTH GUILTY
There has been a subject delt with in public, which I feel should never be discussed in public. The subject is the supply of munitions available during a war, as for that matter also in times of peace.
Trump was probably guilty of the birth of this mistake in discussing the state of the supply of advanced missiles now that the war with Iran has raged for so long. When asked what the supply was available after so many have been used, and taking to the usual Trump, lied saying there was no problem with the supply of these weapons.
Someone needs to teach Trump how to say, “No Comment”.
And with this lie the news media took to exposing the lie by publishing the truth. If no lie had been made I feel the news media would not have felt obligated to reveal the true nature of the supply of these weapons. Now thanks to this combination of lies and then the truth the entire world knows facts which never should be revealed under any circumstances.
ARE YOU INFLUENCED BY INFLUENCERS?
ARE YOU INFLUENCED BY INFLUENCERS?
Ever since I heard the term ‘Influencer’ I had an immediate dislike for it. For I am not easily influencedon a subject of some importance. That’s just me, and perhaps a product of age,but what about you?
When I want information on a subject I consider important I go to a reliable source which I trust. There are times when I may depend on more than one source for information. This brings me to the heart of this post. Are you sure the Influencer you are listening to is reliable and has accurate knowledge on the subject? Do they consider themselves authority figures but have no authority.
What are the qualifications required to make an Influencer an Influencer? Does the person you are listening to, especially on a subject of great importance, offer qualifications which give their opinions so validity? I’m sure that some Influencers deal with a subject of no great importance. I am just as sure that some deal with vital subjects.
So, my advice when listening to an Influencer is to be careful. Depending on the subject check the qualifications of the individual giving the information. In this day and age there is an overwhelming number of sites to obtain information. Be careful in what you take as gospel on a subject being dealt with by a person who might no know what they are talking about or base the discussion on their own opinion?
Do not be easily influenced.
LIFE IS NOT A COMPETITION
LIFE IS NOT A COMPETITION
Life is not a competition.
We all meet people who we envy. Who we consider ‘better’ than we are. Our ego encounters problems when we meet people we envy. But we must be careful, for if we try to emulate others we may lose sight of what we want to accomplish and consider what we have done with our lives. We may slowly drift from the path our life has taken to one which will lead to a dead end. Lose sight of our own importance.
There will always be individuals who are more accomplished than we are. By the same token there will always be those less positioned in society than us. No matter who you meet accept your life and carry on.
