Could President Trump been a political genius with his remark’s that their were good people on both sides of the Charlottesville riots?  Of course one would assume that anyone who marches with the KKK or Neo Nazi is not a good person at best misunderstood but did those remarks make others think and do things they never would have done or thought otherwise? Here’s what could be his calculus  (below) if the genius side had anything to do with such remarks. It might not be the case but do you think these thoughts and actions would have occurred if these remarks from the President weren’t said.

(1) LEFT EVALUATION- Are the groups they are supporting going a bit too far in stopping free speech even if the speech might appear repugnant?

(2) AMMUNITION- Is the media propelling violence by it’s continual coverage of pockets of hateful groups?

(3)  HISTORY- Should we stop and think before we tear apart pieces of our history and the consequences of such action to our national dialogue?

(4) PRIDE- Do all groups deserve to find their pieces of pride in history even as others might see it differently and how do we assure that various views are shown in the public square?

(5) TIME- Is it time we start listening more to each other instead of just hitting the standard play button?

Sloth’s and me share a very different lifestyle. For while a sloth may take a month to eat one leaf I finish a whole salad in 15 minutes. They are type Z personality sleeping most of the time while I type A + with a maximum of 7 hours of sleep.   Sloth’s don’t seem to care about their appearances as you can see in this video while I wouldn’t be caught dead with that hairstyle.  Yet I find them so cute that maybe a bit more Sloth in my life wouldn’t be so bad at least for this 3 minute video.

According to great Torah Scholars there are 613 commandments (see link)  that the Jewish people should follow and one’s they must not do,  I believe these wise people  would agree it’s impossible for one person to follow them all.  For some concern issues of occupation/lifestyle that only some will the opportunity to perform. While other’s might appear to costly/complicated for others to feel comfortable in their personal obligations. Therefore I believe one should focus on the one’s that correspond to their life and pray that others will have the opportunity to observe other laws.  Maybe even become an expert on a small portion of those commandments so you can help others put them in their life’s in a way that makes them see their relevance without undue complications.  I also believe that these laws are so numerous and meant to help us become better people that we should open this observation to all people’s in ways that help them get closer to the one G-D who created us all.

613 Commandments

How much time and effort do you take thinking about me? Will you set a different course then you planned because you know it makes me happy or continue down the same path? Do you care about the impact your words, appearance or philosophy will impact my day or am I just an observer looking in?  How much we put other’s in our path will help determine where we are going and who we actually take with us.

How much of me is in U? Not necessarily in your DNA strand but in the thoughts and actions of your daily life. How have I had impact in others life’s even those I don’t even remember meeting let alone those who appear daily? Has my tone, words or outlook changed another’s way of thinking if not for a lifetime then even a moment? I may never know but it’s interesting to think about what you truly leave behind when your individual body has stepped away?

Because you’re cute and probably will stay that way life is a whole lot easier. When you’re not in the mood to walk you can be carried to your place of desire. Accidents although annoying are nothing compared to others who have spilled and or ripped because your cuteness wins out. You are always served first and get to taste almost every deliciously. Most importantly people will easily and openly express affection to you everyday of your life.  You’re so cute!!!!

I have to accept some realities today that I have not been listening to. Some of them are painful while others are actual very good. Here is a few from the list.

(1) PRESIDENT TRUMP WON’T APOLOGIZE- To assume that he would accept that his remarks can be hurtful and/or wrong and seek some type of mea culpa is not in his playbook. In the past I have ignored some of the silly remarks because to be honest they didn’t effect me personally but now that they have come home to roast I can understand how hurtful they can be.

(2) THE PRESIDENT SOMETIMES SPEAKS FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF HIS BODY- Let’s face it some of the words he says are less then thoughtful and/or sometimes even stupid.  To believe he will speak with the same tone and thoughtfulness of previous Presidents is living in La La Land.

(3) HIS ACTIONS ARE A WHOLE LOT BETTER THEN A CLINTON PRESIDENCY WOULD HAVE BEEN- Donald Trump was not in my top five in the Republican Primary but compared to Hillary Clinton he is golden. Whether it’s the opening of the Keystone Pipeline, Bombing of Syrian Death Planes, Supreme Court Pick Neil Gorsuch, Lesser Regulations, Better and stronger relations with key allies etc. the President actions are still winning even if his mouth won’t tell him.

(4) IT’S HARDER WHEN YOUR TEAM WINS- I voted and continue to support the President so when he screws up it’s a lot harder on me then if the other team won.
