I am still trying to wrap my head around last week and we
are halfway through this week and it is only getting worse. The Khashoggi story
is only intensifying and our lovely President says it was the worst cover up
ever. Exactly who is he supporting with this? How about worst tragedy against
the press in recent memory? Am I taking this out of context? I do not think so.
And he still hasn’t supported major sanctions against the country.
Now Putin says we are no longer a world power and Trump
listens well. What the heck does this mean?
Everyone on the planet knows our hugest glaring hypocrisy is
undying support of oil over everything else. If we overcome, not our reliance
on oil, but our perspective on how we treat the world versus the use of oil
then maybe we change much for the better. Yet, our President is a big fossil
fuel supporter and is avoiding any major hiccup with the Saud. He says it is to
protect American jobs for the arms purchases. And here comes our hypocrisy
again, where support of a murderous regime is couched in a bogus job play to
the American people. And people will call me un American because I speak the
truth.
Oil is not our country. All it takes is to change the
verbiage cheap “oil” with cheap “fuel” and you can fast see how unnecessary oil
could become if we change to renewable energy. And here is the real rub. Oil is
an upside-down pyramid for us, the point of the pyramid pointing in a negative
direction. This is fueled by the fours sides of the pyramid all being negative.
One side is geopolitical problems we keep getting ourselves into, the second is
the pollution oil and oil by products cause, the third is climate change, and
the fourth is the cost to the consumer. And the fourth is not just the price of
oil and gas, but the healthcare costs because of air and water pollution, the cleanup
costs of spills and other pollutants such as the large plastic island in the
Pacific Ocean, and a person could go on for a long, long time.
Every product and by product of oil is replaceable except
maybe as a lubricant to machinery. And most products that replace the oil by
products are recyclable. So, the dynamics of evolving off oil creates many more
jobs than we lose by easing off oil. It is the greed of a very small group of
people that is destroying this country. Yes, they sell some benefits to a few
others who invest in oil this group props up, but overall there is much to be
gained and more wealth generation for more people by replacing oil with other
products. Plus, the benefits to our health and the environment save untold
amounts of money in the future.
And this is just all about the Saudi murder that the above
is regurgitated. President Trump then came up with the brilliant statement he
should have the armed forces guard the border, build new bases on the border to
stop a 5-7000 caravan of potential illegal immigrants. I, for one, agree we
need a complete overhaul of our immigration laws. There are some things that must
give, we just cannot blindly think everyone coming here has altruistic motives.
That is just naïve, but this sending the army to the border is astronomically stupid
and a monstrous waste of money. The Wall is a waste of money. The President is
a waste of money. We are already running deficits no one can manage. Where does
he think the money would come from for his new bases and redeployment of
military resources? It is all noise to try and get his base to the polls in a few
weeks. And if he did anything we go back to the cost problem.
Can, we the people, sue him for breach of contract. He is
the President by God, shouldn’t he be held accountable for truth and proper representation
to the people and our values instead of lie after lie. I understand politicians
make promises to get elected, but he has gone so far beyond that concept, he is
tearing up the contract between our government and the people that the government
will protect and serve the people. And most importantly answer to them. He lies
with such disregard for the truth. We, the people, have a right to have a President
that is held accountable to what he tells us and what he tells us can be backed
up with facts. “I have pictures of Comey and Mueller hugging and kissing” Heck,
the FBI cannot find any. Theses blanket, irrational base triggers to inflame,
lies must be dealt with at some level. And the same goes for Fox News. Can we
not sue them for breach of contract to the public also since they call
themselves news, but register as entertainment and do not meet the requirements
of a true news media outlet? Where is the accountability for this constant barrage
of insults to anyone who cares truly about our Constitution, values and
country?
And on a side note, what the heck are the Democrats actually
going to do? Outside of a rising democratic-socialist platform, they do not
know what to do. And the pretentious left keeps stepping on their own toes. Megyn
Kelly apologizing for making a blackface comment. Heck she isn’t even part of
the pretentious left, but she just jumped right on a slippery slope and landed
flat on her behind trying to act like she knew something. She fit right in
quicker than quick. The whole pretentious establishment is so lost the dotted
lines out of the maze have disappeared.
So Trump cannot get out of his way, the Pretentious left is
running around in circles, the Republican leadership cannot make up its mind to
either jump fully on board with the part of the party that supports Trump and
go off the deep end to hold onto their jobs or what I do not know, Ted Cruz has
taken hypocrisy to a new level, stratospheric level that is, and now he makes
me want to puke on a minute by minute basis, shoot he was bad enough four years
ago; the alt right conspiracy machine is the only job creating machine right
now, and speaking of conspiracies; is the immigrant caravan a planned action,
where did these pipe bombs come from, how bad is the Saudi thing really, and
what will we hear from our President to protect them, John what’s his face is
now kowtowing to Putin and finally how owned is Trump by Putin? And the last
one isn’t a conspiracy I fear.
And no one knows squat. The market could bounce up or go in
free fall due to algorithmic trading. Corporate profits rely on last year’s tax
cut to keep stock holders happy, does anyone know how to run a real business, retail
is about to crash, Trump wants new tax cuts and last years’ are driving us
deeper into debt, God only knows what would happen to Social Security and
Medicare if Paul Ryan wasn’t retiring, it is bad enough McConnell is running
the Senate so the deal is on the table for the destruction of America’s safety
net, Ryan would have sealed it, ripped that to shreds right in front of
everyone smiling away saying how great the future will be. I once had hope for
him. Calls himself a Christian, and oops do not get me started on the fake
Christians or the Evangelical leaders. They are right up there with Teddy Cruz.
And these are just a few of the stories about the meltdown
of what was the greatest promise on the planet. And believe it or not, I still
have faith we can turn this disaster around, however, the work load keeps
piling up to make the changes necessary. If I didn’t have faith, I wouldn’t be angry,
but right now the anger is so painful I cannot see past the end of my nose, or
feel like I am walking with every step grinding away at the bottom of my feet
like rocks cemented into the shoes and those shoes glued to your foot.
And on top of it all the Mavericks blew a 20+ lead in a game
and lost. How crazy is that? Even the small insignificant just for fun life is
insanely painful.
Have a great evening everyone and especially someone in
South Carolina. My advice: stay anonymous, invest in you, invest in the future,
invest in society, give to real programs that foster innovation and ways to
bring people out of poverty and enjoy life. Cheers!
