In the past there were protests in Washington that truly stood for something; fighting against the injustice African American’s dealt with during segregation, a woman’s right to suffrage/the vote, defending the right to life of the unborn etc contrast that with yesterday’s protest. A protest against a duly elected President of the United States who has only been in office for one day and hasn’t even addressed any of the “concerns” of these protesters. It was more of a big get together of leftist causes then a movement to change anything. The biggest issue that appeared to unite them was to protect the right of a woman to kill an unborn baby. Compare and contrast that with the issues of yesteryear which dealt with the basic human rights and dignity of our citizens and you’ll understand why I consider this the largest silly protest in history.
The Founder-was fine but not…
“The Founder” was fine but not dandy. As with many of the Weinstein Films there were too many scenes that were unnecessary in telling this story. “Ray Kroc” was also portrayed in a very dark light as you would except in Hollywood’s story line of any business magnet. If there were unproven controversies in his life they all appeared to fall against his character in this film It would have added some complexity to his character and helped develop the story if Mr. Kroc had at least One Arch above his head. “Founder” does give you some interesting insight in the beginning and growth of McDonald’s too bad it decided to add it’s own spin on the rest of the story.
** 1/2 Founders- 1/2 start added for the history it provides the viewer on McDonald’s
Immigration Island
Immigration Island would be the helping hand to all those refugees seeking liberation from an oppressive regime. This island would be basically governed by a group of countries with the goal of vetting these refugees to insure that they have no terrorist or extremist ties and to find a country that would best fit their skills as well as their background (s). The island itself would allow those refugees a place for them to start a new life based on basic human freedom, dignity and self worth. Any taxes received by those working or having businesses on such an Island would go to funding it’s operation. Immigration Island a compassion solution and safe solution to our immigration problem(s).
World We’re Missing
No matter how rich, famous and powerful you are there is no doubt you are missing out on a world that the Mantis Shrimp, Wax Moth, Catfish, Elephant and dozen’s of other animals are enjoying. These animals have far developed 5 senses that we have and therefore truly enjoy the world at a higher level then we can even imagine. The Mantis Shrimp can see ultraviolet, In-fared light that we could only dream of. While the Wax Moth can detect sound 150 times better then even the greatest rock musician. Come to think of it we haven’t smelled a bit of that rose that our Elephants can do on a daily basis. Forget about tasting that incredible Chocolate bar give it to the Catfish who has 10 times the taste buds we have. I won’t even get in to touch but the link below will. We human’s think we have it made in the shade but we haven’t touched, smelled, tasted, touched or seen that shade compared to those simple creatures around us have.
Roti- Subway goes Mediterranean
The “Subway effect” where you really get what you want, continues to expand in other markets even Mediterranean Grill. From restaurants such as Chipotle to Pizza Rev restaurant are more and more basing their decisions on the choices of consumers who include what they want in their dishes down to even the spices. These restaurants will utilize small differences to separate themselves from the competition not just types of food but where and how the food is grown/processed (organic, local etc). The time for these restaurants is now because they lesson the need for a large staff and truly give the consumer exactly what they want to the salt in the shaker.
**** Excellent fresh food with unique healthy drinks to boot.
Simple Act of an ANGEL
On Shabbas I try not to spend any $$’s, for to me it signifies the effort of work but this Uber driver was so considerate I felt I had to, which lead to an angel appearing. For in this effort of giving I inadvertently dropped my wallet, without any knowledge this occurred. I was attending Shabbos services when in the middle I realized my wallet was missing. This wasn’t just any wallet but literally held the passport for me to return home. The same Uber driver somehow found me even though the location I was dropped off was a bit further then the location I was at and returned my wallet. I’ve had a similar experience in my life but it was extremely strange since it was cash in a paper bag returned to me after a simple prayer. There are angels all around us but sometimes their wings are hidden until simple acts of kindness allow us to see G-D’s big helpers. Thank G-D for giving us those moments of flight.
My Inaugural Reflection
This is my 3rd inauguration I was blessed to attend and has already given me some memories I will hold on for at least the next inauguration.
(1) SPEECH- Donald Trump showed oratory skills that I never expected to hear and beautiful words I will never forget such as “you can’t be patriot if you are prejudice”
(2) CONCERT- They may not had the “A” names but had the “A +” team instead lead by Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down and The Piano Guys.
(4) SECURITY- Went much smoother then expected although we lost our umbrella.
(5) PEOPLE- Our country has such wonderful people from sea to shining sea that will truly make this country great again and many were at this inauguration.
We used to call?
Many, many moons ago we didn’t have phones that we could carry with others and we actually made an effort to call loved one’s and friends. There was a time when you actually had to wait in line to make a call while your brothers or sister would be yapping away. You would actually want to call your parents and keep them updated because there were many places you couldn’t reach them from. In those days phone calls were more precious and the moments we spent talking together on these devices were much more select. This actually occurred and those moons were in my lifetime.
Four Season’s World
Anyone who knows me understands that I’m normal not into the pomp and prestige world of the rich and famous (except Chocolate) but I have to admit their is something special about the “Four Season’s World”. It’s is one world which is truly a 4 letter word that everyone should experience in their own life,”NICE”. Everyone is so nice and kind that is takes you to a whole different planet which is good to travel to at least once in one’s life journey. I’m not sure if it’s because they are paid better then other places or they just hire people who have this word stuck in their brains but it really does exist. As I have exited that world into the real world “NICE” can be heard occasionally but is too often replaced with other 4 letter words.
Trump Inauguration- Protesters-Protest You & Me
Let’s face it today the “Anti Trump Protesters” are protesting you and me as much as they are protesting against Donald Trump. For President Elect Trump has not been sworn into office so they can’t complain about his performance and is duly elected by the system that we & they have participated in or had the freedom not to participate in as well. Therefore the protesters are angry at the 60 million plus who have elected him for this office and anyone who wants to work with the President even if they didn’t vote for him. Let’s be honest if most of these protesters had their way a military coup would replace the duly elected system we have here and install in King Bernie Sanders & Queen Jill Stein for life. Sorry this is America and I’m not only going to the Inauguration to support the people’s choice for President Donald Trump but the people and system that put him in their in the 1st place.
