Venezuela it’s in the military’s hand

venezuela protest 5 Venezuela Uprising 2 venezuela protest 1

Any semblance of democracy is now in the hands of the military who were not sworn in to protect a dictator but a democracy. If one military leader decides enough is enough then the people will win and democracy/freedom will slowly return to this beautiful country. Yet if the military continues to feel it’s getting what it wants no matter how many are hurt and killed in between, the dictatorship will live as the people and their voice will be crushed.  May G-D give those who wear the uniform to protect their country the strength and knowledge to truly do so and let this nightmare in Venezuela soon end.  Free/Democratic Venezuela Today!

FOOTNOTE- G-D please add the people of Iran, North Korea and all other beleaguered people’s  to my prayer list as well.

Jeff Sessions beleaguered

Jeff Sessions beleagured Jeff Sessions Donald Trump

Many believe that President Trump wants  Attorney General Jeff Sessions to move out but I believe he wants him to move in.  The President is putting external and internal pressure on the Attorney General to act and that means he wants results. Don’t be surprised if in the next few weeks Jeff Sessions announces investigations into the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton as a whole. Of course if the President feels that the Attorney General isn’t doing “his job” or “his job” he might find that his resignation letter is just ready to be signed. Yet don’t be fooled there is more then one tweet then the 140 characters seen with the eye.

$$$ DIVIDE

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

DIVISION 2 DIVIDE 1

The last great divide we have with others is over $$.  In the past there were divisions based on race, religion, sections of country etc and although the slate isn’t totally clean on any of those areas it’s a whole less cloudy yet the $$ divide remains strong. For those with means eat, sleep, vacation and even may work in environments totally opposite of those that lack this resource. This divide becomes more pronounced because when you spend only time in your world the other world can appear something that it truly isn’t.  Of course there are “McDonald’s and cultural cues that bring us together but not enough to climb this wall between us.  Initiatives must be taken so that we don’t become to insular and see each other for who we are not by the characters others play about us.  This is a wall that needs to come down.

Trump Putin Meeting – No Election Meddling

Putin and Donald Trump

Unless some grand bargain can be made no  deep discussion of election meddling should be had at the Friday summit between Russian President Putin & President Trump. For we have to move forward on so many fronts together including Radical Islamic Terrorism and North Korea that bringing up past wrong doing(s) will only cause more of a split.  If however we can let by gones be truly be gone Russia might move with us on our current problems together.  Negotiations are a house of cards and you should never let your opponent see your hand until it’s truly necessary. Bluffing along the way can help lead to a more peaceful and secure future for us all.

It’s YOUR fault….. Korah

Your Fault 2  Your Fault 1

According to psychological analysis and statistics as a whole this title will probably be my least popular blog piece but it must be said. For how many times do we blame those in “power” for our problems when it’s our own actions or reactions that have landed us in the spot we are in right now? This is best illustrated by the biblical story Korah where he challenged Moses for his “poor leadership” skills as he lead the Israelite on their difficult destiny. Instead of challenging himself and the people to work harder on their own spiritual path he tried to take the path from their true leader that G-D selected.  Maybe Korah believed as other’s outside the power structure, that they could do things better but until he actually stepped in the arena in some powerful way and make such changes with himself as well as others how could he ask to wear the crown?  Yes, the more you claim it’s your fault the better the chance you have to change your path and many might follow your lead.

Senate Repeal Obamacare Plan Bill-Had to be

gang of 4 Senator Mitch Mcconnell

For those  viewers  of  “Hell’s Kitchen” the drama we are witnessing in the Senate, as it relates to replacing Obamacare, plays out till the final stew. Senate leader Mitch McConnell (not normally my favorite Senator) may have played this with all the ingredients up front. First he puts together a fairly strong outline in private so it could actually be completed without too many Senator’s stewing the pot. Then he waits for the opposition to boil up. Once he meets with the 4 vocal Senators opposed to the legislation he can decide which ingredients he must add to the mix or delete.  Deleting to many might cause the whole stew to spoil so he probably would add more ingredients if possible. Once those ingredients are added he must make sure it’s not watered down so the other Senators can still vote on it without getting a heartburn. In the end let’s hope it’s a healthy bill/soup and maybe even one that’s a bit tasty.

Empty or Full or Bottle?

empty or full Wine Bottle 2

I’ve been told you can see the cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full but maybe it’s the wine bottle you’re truly looking at..  Yes we can look at our life through our own cup but the problem is most of us  will stare at the great bottle other’s have and just want a sip.  Who then cares about our damn cup in the first place!  Jealousy can take us to this place and that’s why it’s good to smell and stare at the cup your dealt before it’s completely gone whether it is 1/2 full or 1/2 way empty.

FBI Director Comey Fired because…?

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

James Comey FBI Rosenstein

Whether your a Democrat or a Republican you have to believe that FBI Director should be terminated  because of his poor performance (see attached list) of his duties the question is why it happened today?  Could the President have acted because of political reasons maybe but ask yourself what is the benefit for such an actions for it won’t stop any investigations just move to other individuals?  There is only one reason that seems to pop up a letter from Deputy AG Rosenstein  that makes a strong case for his removal as well as the influence of the current Attorney General.  Who knows maybe there’s something I’m missing or maybe some are trying to start a fire with only a few sparks?

10 Reasons FBI Director Comey could be fired

 

Trump Carrot & Stick

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

Donald Trump Thinking 2 Kim Jung Un

The President is using the political playbook of offering a carrot in one hand while wielding a stick in the other when dealing with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.  While President Trump talks tough and backs up his words with military preparations he offers an opening with Kim Jong Un even going so far as complimenting him and offering him a seat at a conversation table if he behaves better. This way the North Korean Leader can see some daylight if he backs away from his belligerent words and actions.   Trumps meeting with the President of the Philippines, who isn’t the greatest example of human rights, is another sign to Leader Kim that we might look the other way on his own dictatorial actions if he starts looking in our way.  It’s an opening in a simmering stew that might allow a little steam to come out as we seek to find a peaceful way out of this dangerous dilemma

Wall Or Government Shut Down

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy, Political - No Comments

border wall 2  President Trump 13

President Trump can continue the government running while building the wall as the Democrats don’t realize they’ve already given him the $$’s.  For money was already allocated and voted on by those same Democrats in previous budgets to build the wall but never used for such purposes.  Since the money was already put in the pipeline but the pipeline was never made the President could start using those monies now. The Democrats can still say they didn’t vote for the wall during their next election cycle while the wall is still being built making everyone happy and the American people a whole lot safer.
