Trumpism-3 – Strong Leader

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

It is important to have a strong leader ,who has a clear path that he wants to achieve and Donald Trump definitely has those leadership skills but having those skills in business is different then in the White House. For in the business world Donald Trump can fire an insubordinate that is not achieving his goals but in Washington he has to deal with 535 different leaders that can’t be fired and that doesn’t include the judicial branch. Many of those who desire a strong almost “aristocratic leader” can see that in Mr. Trumps magnificent architecture which dots our grand cities but do we want that authority in the White House?  If Mr. Trump is to gain the keys to the White House he should realize that there are many different doors to control then any business he’s operated and in this case he can’t redesign it alone.

Trumpism Part II – Outsider

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

When it appears that all the deals are being made from the inside to benefit those political elite against the public will, an outsider appears very attractive. Donald Trump seems to be such an outsider, who won’t be influenced by monies to make deals that he considers bad for the American public because he doesn’t need this cash flow.  Yet I believe it’s important to look at the whole pie (see below) of what  Donald truly could bring to the table. Is there a piece I’m missing?

ALLIES- Those who have served in government already have well established allies that can make sure bills move through Congress faster then they normally could and with the small print easily read.  Developing such allies from the outside could work but might be take more time then one thinks.

ENEMIES- People who have served in government might have in depth knowledge of who to avoid because sometimes politicians appear nice from the outside but that is only to snap on you from the inside. An outsider can hire an individual (s) who has this experience but then they are reliant on their knowledge and skills to get it done.

THE PIE- It might appear easy to make but seeing a pie is not making a pie and running a government has more intricate pieces then making a pie or even constructing a building.  Of course hiring individuals with these skills will help but would you trust a plumber to build a sky scraper from day one?

 

Run Bloomberg! Run!

michael bloomberg

I’m a right wing tea party conservative and am elated with the possibility that Michael Bloomberg is considering running for President! This move would most likely assure that the G.O.P. will be in the White House no matter who they put up. Michael Bloomberg’s nanny state goes against the very grain that is the fiber of an independent self reliant American spirit and with left leaning Democratic candidate they will be plenty of space for someone from the right to take the majority of the votes. Just the thought that Michael Bloomberg could get in the White House should motivate those in the right to get out and vote even if the person was only 85% pure.  Therefore run Bloomberg ! Run!

Trumpism Part I

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

donald trump

I believe it’s time to explore the Donald Trump phenomenon from a more intellectually point of view.  To understand why this had occurred in our political landscape and what could be the effects for his Presidency whatever your knee jerk reaction to his candidacy has been.  Let’s start with that phrase “knee jerk” where I believe we can say whatever your position on this man is that he is a model for this phrase.  For many (including me)  it’s quite refreshing to hear someone speak without fear that his remarks might offend others.  How many of us are held back in our life’s from living this way whether it is fear of  offending the boss, colleagues, a wife or friend’s?  We can sometimes walk on a balancing beam trying to chose just the right words at the right time or even feel we have to hide our thoughts to bring peace. Just like going to a boxing machine we live through Donald’s Trump verbal punches as if we were the one throwing the punch.  How would a Trump Presidency of total openness effect his skill as a leader here are just a few thoughts to consider.

FEAR- Those that speak boldly are usually feared by others. This could be helpful in dealing with enemies and also inspiring friends but fear also can inspire extremist elements who feel their voices are shouted out.

HOPE- Bold proposals such as “Making this Nation Great Again” and “Building a Fence to Protect Us” inspire hope for those who believe their government doesn’t act yet if Donald Trump’s proposals don’t come to bear fruit quickly then that balloon will pop (not deflate) leaving his supporters only holding broken rubber.

WORKING WITH SUPPORTERS- Donald Trump tends to strong emotions for his supporters and detractors which he states openly and loudly.  This will make it difficult for a Trump Administration to hear from opposition that has good points on policy but is not his ally.  Will this cause a divided country to divide further down the lines not red and blue but Trump and Anti-Trump?

Prescription Drugs…. paths to Heroin

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

Heroin

The path to Heroin too often starts down the path of legal Prescription Pain Killing drugs. It is said that up to  80% of those on Heroin today started out with Pain Killing drugs therefore if we are to battle this epidemic shattering our communities we must have better control on the pain killing drugs prescribed in our society.  I can’t imagine the difficulties those that have chronic pain go through but for the good of society and these individuals pain killers must be the last choice not the 1st choice. Here are a few ways (below) we can truly help those suffering and society as a whole.

(1) PRESCRIPTION OF PAIN REDUCING TECHNIQUES- Classes of Yoga, Therapy, Meditation, Acupuncture and natural remedies should be given a chance to work before prescription of pain killing medicines occurs.

(2) HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MEDICINE- Where the medicine is given as part of a whole plan to deal with pain  (Yoga, Therapy, Meditation etc) and eventual to lower the dosage or eliminate them all together.

(3)MEDICINE WITH EVALUATION- Medicines are given to those that have tried all alternatives and are in a holistic program but these individuals are carefully monitored to insure they don’t slip through the cracks.  This might include monthly or bi-monthly meetings with therapist/doctors ,  Faith community sponsored groups or work with local law enforcement.

(4) TOUGH DRUG TREATMENT FACILITIES- Places where individuals who have become addicted to these substances can get the proper treatment 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  It will be tough treatment but it will work for those who truly want to get better.

Me or Country

Presidential Candidates 2016

Many of those who are still running against Donald Trump for the G.O.P nomination because they believe he can’t win must decide whether it’s me or the country.  They can either believe in themselves with dwindling poll numbers or pull out and give their support to those who could truly change the race.  The time is closing in and for those who haven’t changed their poll numbers maybe it’s time to put your ego away and work for the better of the country. For if you chose yourself instead remember your decision might change this country for good to the Socialist States of America (Hillary Indicted) .

Trump VS Cruz- School Bully

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

Trump Cruz bully 2

Is it just me or do the latest attacks by Donald Trump against Ted Cruz remind me of  flashback to my middle school days. When bullies would say to others (including me) “nobody likes you”. I’ve grown to like Donald Trump but the latest attacks are quite immature and are an example of what a bully will do when he/she feels that there territory is threatened.  The only difference is in this case it’s not a school yard but the G.O.P nomination.  I’m against political correctness but Mr. Trump’s those remarks were just plain nasty and you deserve a time out. I’m sure some time to think about your cruel words will make you a stronger candidate and more importantly a better person.

Love or Success

Success 2

This might not match the fairy tale endings but sometimes you have to decide whether love or success is more important for both take extreme amounts of time and effort to achieve and you might only be able to go in one direction.  I’m not talking about your standard love but the love that keeps you up all night and makes you think all day instead of performing the work that you need to achieve growth.  The type o love that can make you travel the country, instead of having your feet on the ground building success. It is true that when you meet that special person that they should make sure you have the space to jump to success but sometimes that isn’t the case and decisions will be made. For success in love might be enough to carry through the pitfalls of life or vice versa.

Offer a helping hand

helping hand 2

Often I have offered a helping hand only to see it slapped away. It could be a job offer to someone who is out of their luck, advise to someone who is confused on which path to take or even a place to stay for a person who has been dislocated.   Many times the hand will be taken for a moment but then the person will want a foot or even my entire body. Other times the hand that I offer will appear to be carrying a spear to others as they become offended by such an offer. That is why I offer a hand in the distance through such devices as this blog which  offers a hand of uplifting insight, advise and concepts that can change someone’s life.  Yet the times that my hand is taken to make someone’s life better, make it all worth it and as long as I have an open arm I will try to help someone grab it but if they try to slap it I’ll slap it back faster.

Hillary Guilty Not Indicted

Hillary Clinton laughing

Hillary Clinton might be as guilty as OJ but she won’t be indicted not because she knows of skeleton but bodies. It is possible that the FBI Director James B. Comey Jr. might recommend that the Justice Department indict her but even if that was the case Loretta Lynch would more likely indict herself then Hillary. It is more likely that if the FBI Director strongly beliefs that Hillary should be indicted he will suddenly decided to resign for personal reasons, instead.  Hillary and her cronies know all the bad/illegal deals that President Obama’s  Administration has made and would be more then willing to use them as a bargaining chip, which is why the President will make sure Hillary is kept clean even if there is plenty of dirt.

It’s all I rigged system for the “Political Elite” who milk the tax payer dry while living the life of luxury and power. That is why maybe “Donald Trump” isn’t such a poor choice after all.  He may not say what he should many a time but at least he isn’t part of the “gang” that has so much control over our life’s and is laughing at us with their Diamond Earrings.
