Who Are You?

That’s the famous question that we should ask ourselves every six months. To be your authentic self you need to ask the question! Furthermore you also need to write down the answer. Why should you do this personal work? Because sometimes we forget who we are.

We get lost in all the craziness in daily chores, and what we think is important in our lives, and the news on our television sets. Some of it concerns us and some not so much.

How do you feel about the past election? Are your feelings based on the real facts? Are you doing your own research on real facts or just taking someone else’s word as fact full information and reacting to it? Can you change your mind when you find out the facts?

It’s paramount to be able to say “well maybe I was wrong before”! That is a powerful and bold statement. It’s important to realize and to say I’ve changed my mind on that because I now have checked the facts and found out that I was wrong.

It is important to admit you are wrong. Why is it so important, because that proves you can be a rational and independent person. Those actions make you unique in our world of smart thinkers. How many times do you think Einstein had thoughts that he couldn’t prove? Because he had such a momentous capacity to think about the natural world he changed his mind thousands of times in his lifetime. Einstein’s thoughts became his theories. He changed Newton’s three laws and transformed physics. His thoughts and theories became a foundation for astrophysics and the atomic bomb.

Isn’t that is enough proof that you can change your mind and still be okay with your thoughts? Listen to your innermost thoughts, your dreams, your happiness and that of other people in your life. Take the time to organize your thoughts and let your heart speak for you when you need that.

Don’t be afraid of change rather endorse change if it will open doors for you or your company. Do not be afraid to change, it can be the best thing to propel your life forward.

Yes you can talk about it with your family and friends and your staff. Be sure you are in a safe environment where their minds are open as well. Make a commitment to have a safe space where you can talk about needed changes.Do not let someone else put fear in your heart when you are working on going forward for you and your family. Do not let someone intimidate you when you feel you are on the right track to accomplish good things!

Thank you for your votes

As of 11:00p.m. senator Barack Obama has been declared President Elect of the USA

“Yes We Can” is President Elect Barack Obamas’ message to the country and the world. Pledging a new day and new hope, but not forgetting the past. As he brought his family on-stage, he kissed his little girls and his wife. When they left the stage he began his acceptance message.

To paraphrase his message:

Tonight is the answer to our democracy, this time our voices can be different. We will always be the United States of America. This is our defining moment as change has come to America. To all of you out there, this is your moment, this is your victory. I promise you as a people we will get there, there will be some setbacks and missteps, but I will always be honest with you. This victory tonight is not the end of it, it is the beginning of more patriotism. A new dawn of American leadership is here and an enduring power of our ideals will guide us, because yes, we can.

After President Elect Barack Obamas’ speech the new Vice President Elect Joseph Bidn came onstage and joined him. Later both families came on stage and joined the two men, showing themselves for the crowd and cameras.

President Elect Barack Obama is a powerful and inspiring speaker who covers all the bases and works hard at joining people together. Saying to those who have not supported him “I want to be your president also, I need your help, we need to work together because yes we can.”

Senator John McCain gave a gracious concession speech. Thanking all those who have supported him including his family and campaign workers. “Running this campaign has been its own reward, and my greatest accomplishment, thank you for coming with me.

“Two Years in and Counting When He Will be Out of Office”

Arrhghhhhh! I am so glad that I didn’t vote for Him. Say what you will, but Hillary did not deserve to be treated so poorly by members of congress who were rallying around her, nor by the major smear campaign that The president and Russians bombarded her with.

Neither do our citizens deserve to be treated in the manner that they have been treated. No one deserves to not be paid for their work, no one. No one deserves to have the majority of their work torn apart like President Obama has. No one should deny and punish asylum seekers and Take Their Children Away From Them!

The truth is President Obama even though he did make his own mistakes like we all do during our lifetimes is still beloved today by the general public.

Plus because of the manner in which Hillary was treated during her run in the presidential election a mountain of rebellion has started to swell by other women to run for office and they are winning hand over fist on many states.

I predict that our next election will be the same, more women will challenge the old timers of our political offices and the women will win! Why , because our women, mothers, sisters, cousins, and wives are absolutely fed up with the childish behavior and greed of the old guard. Our women are forever fed up and our politic will change for the better. Why, because we are over ripe to change the status quo! And, we are ready to go at the sound of the bell, ready to hear the ringing sound of the deep tolling of the bell to more freedoms, more fairness, in everyday and in every way!

Some Congressmen are actually behaving like little boys and wrenching their hands and yelling to the point of almost crying in their seats during hearings.

Take for instance the approval of the newest Supreme Court member. Now his behavior was challenging the court to accept his hysteria and he was rude to the current members. It’s my opinion that they will take him out somehow for his irreverence and childish behavior as well, because of new facts that will be found out about his dalliances.

It is the right time to do the right things for families, our seniors, our environment and health and our future families! Just stand up and go for it, now!

Agrhhh. Trump Needs a Nap or Much More

Oh please stop tweeting it’s making my head spin. Stop berating good people, search for whatever common sense you have ever discovered in your entire lifetime.

Sedation maybe an option but you would have to catch him asleep first. So why have the people around him not been able to calm him down. Maybe he really is a basket case. Or, maybe he really is a mental case, or is just plain nuts. Then he could have a mental illness of some kind. At some point the American people have to realize that our president is not dealing with reality and he is not well!

In my opinion, “never have we had a man in office that is so mean and spiteful and immature!”

How did we elect such a man in the first place? His presidency has been a mockery of common sense.

What lessons have we learned?

1. To always check out the top people who are in the running for the job with the top three newspapers in our country. What are they saying in their stories?

2. Who are the top three newspapers?

The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Baltimore Sunpaper.

When checking out the facts you can always go to Wikipedia.com as well. We need to take this seriously. Do not just say oh well it doesn’t matter because it does matter. It matters everyday and in every way what the president says and does to our democracy and to us as a whole. As you have currently seen this could be one of the worst presidential picks of all time for our country. He will always be accountable as a president, but, so will we be accountable for our choices as well as far as what happens when he makes decisions.

Ultimately because of our renegade actions in the last election to try to delegitimize President Obama because of our unsavory prejudices you chose the Devil instead of the better person for the job.

Pay attention to what happens next, read those newspapers now to check up on what’s going on. Don’t give any excuses because these online resources are available to everyone online. Check out your news articles on such places as cbs, nbc, and cnn tv stations. And for goodness sake stop listening to fox news because they slant their news stories toward the controlling rich people in America who just want to control us with their unsavory biased opinions.

They are trying to distract us into making bad choices by making us angry and so upset that we will continue to make bad choices and do bad things that will get us arrested, then sent to jail.

The people who control jails make money when a person has to stay there, so the more people in jail the more money they make. Come on people wake up!

Lets Have a Little Levity Please! Colbert / Trump

Takes on Donald Trump and FBI Director Bob Mueller
Stephen Colbert at his best up against Donald Trump! A little levity please from Colbert.

Donald Trump has gotten us into so much bad stuff by trying to defend himself and his family business that FBI Director Bob Mueller is now investigating him and the family as well for their business goings on since the election.
This is a win for the American public because of Trump’s number of business dealings at over 4,000 law-suits against him.

No one, I mean no one has that many legal law-suits against him if some of the claims are not true.If you ask people in New York they can give you plenty of reasons to not trust Donald Trump in a business deal. Why haven’t more people looked into his background before they voted?

By now it’s not too late if you truly want to know the truth. Go ahead and look up N.Y. legal system and see how many lawsuits have been filed there, 4095. As reported by USA Today

At this time we all need to be able to pay attention to our own business to make sure it’s not falling by the wayside as facinating as D. T.s problems are. They aren’t our immediate problems at the moment. He ties his problems with ours when he does not tell the truth.

What we need to focus on is what is best for our families, and our business. We do that one day at a time. We make it successful one business deal at a time, and pay attention to the welfare of our employees and family members one at a time. There is just no other effective way to manage our lives. One wife/girlfriend, one boyfriend/husband at a time,and children must be central in our thoughts and actions to raise a good loving child and be honest with them all. As long as you take it one day at a time, you’ll be okay. Have a Great Day!

Donald Trump not Working With a Full Deck/ No Heart/ No Honesty

Honest to goodness he and his administration gets worse everyday. Each day there is something new that he doesn’t want to admit to, or has forgotten that he said something nasty about someone. Then he turns around and fire’s “Comey” who has been one of the best guys we have had, and now possibly “Bob Mueller” who was a previous FBI director.

The biggest problem now is that he can’t fire Mueller unless he also fires Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein was supposed to be one of the good guys that Trump hired in the first place. He already fired acting Attorney General, Sally Q. Yates, after learning that she had downloaded a copy of the United States Constitution to her computer.

That is according to Steve Bannon who seized her computer. According to the New Yorker magazine ” the Trump Administration’s code of ethics, established by Steve Bannon, a counsellor to the President, “possessing, reading, or referring to the United States Constitution” is a violation that is punishable by termination. So Trump and Bannon are using “tight fisted dictatorship rulings” to make sure no one can look up the laws of our own country on their computers while they are doing their jobs!

But Mueller was FBI director since 2001 when George Bush chose him for the position. He has supposedly done a good job since then. The public has had no words of bad policies, or read bad press about him.

So, that means that Donald Trump is whistling at the wind again. He behaves like a spoiled child and expects us all to put up with his childish antics, and dictatorship types of actions. He’s not working with a full deck of cards by not being forthcoming, He’s not working with any heart whatsoever. He’s not working with any honesty by our own Constitution. Rather he’s banning our employees from using the Constitution at all and firing them when they do. I am not sure , but I believe that that is illegal in the United States of America.

Political leaders in Maryland and DC have had enough of his shady deals that continue to show up. They are actively suing him and the lawsuit charges that “President Trump’s continued ownership interest in a global business empire, which renders him deeply enmeshed with a legion of foreign and domestic government actors, violates the Constitution and calls into question the rule of law and the integrity of the country’s political system.”

Because of who the people are Attorney General Karl Racine and Maryland Attorney General Brian Froshand who and what they represent the suit is more than possible of being heard in court. Their say is that Trump is hurting other American business by sending international travelers to his hotels and costing us companies money that should rightly be theirs.

Eight Million Americans can’t be all wrong!

To Paraphrase the Presidents message on television, eight million Americans can’t all be wrong about our healthcare plans. Eight million Americans signed up, 35 % are under the age of 35, healthcare spending has slowed more than anytime in last 20 years, medicare costs for their life extended ten years and have 50% less spending. Congressional Budget Office says costs will be cheaper and cost less than 100 billion dollars with no denial of coverage. I know the new laws won’t solve all the problems, but it has saved and increase the deficit. Affordable care is working and Republicans were all wrong because it is working and they had no alternative plans.

Our affordable care act is working and congress should not spend any more time debating something that is working.

Many things are possible, but the Republicans need to adjust their attitudes. We need to figure out how to make this work in the best way possible. This process is not about me, it’s about people who would much rather see us talk about jobs and how to fix the infrastructure and boost incomes and their bottom line.

We have 5 million people who could have health care except for their state not wanting to help, that’s political and it doesn’t have to be that way.

For the last five years we have been helping families and we think that that should continue and I’m puzzled as to why the Republicans have made this their agenda and are still talking about it. We need to train more people to do more jobs. We need to move on and get on with working on the things that Americans think is important. We should be open to make the healthcare law better, because it is not making everyone happy.

What President Obama Has accomplished in the past year include:

He is our Superman After all

GOP’ers said it couldn’t be done. HA! He did it, the president has brought a bonus for all of us at Christmas.

1. Gasoline is down to $2.22 cents a gallon in Maryland

2. New construction is up the highest in ten years

3. Unemployment is down to 6%

4. 12 Million jobs have been created

5. Obama care has not killed jobs

6. Obama care has pulled down the healthcare costs

7. Higher wages will give people more money to spend

8. We now have a climate deal with China

9. There is now an end to the Cuban embargo

10.There are imminent plans to work with Iran

11. He is working with International politicians to quell terrorists activities

WHEN IS HE GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING

Graphic by Diane Knaus

President Obama is smart enough to work around congress for the betterment of the entire nation. His healthcare is working, saving seniors millions of dollars a year and providing health services for more people while hospitals costs and lives are saved from ruin. 7-11-2014 BOEHNER: “He’s been president for five and a half years. WHEN IS HE GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING? Just last week Boehner said that the president was doing too much work trying to work around what the Republicans were procrastinating about.

According to the president on immigration 6-30-2014 “Now don’t get me wrong, there have been some Senate and House leaders who have helped as much as they can to get some serious things taken care of. But this immigration needs lots of help, not just a few people, but many people. In the last year there has been much obstruction specifically from Congress and that is why I have done things my way because Congress won’t act, they won’t do their jobs. I have said many times bring me your ideas, and we’ll work it out. But, Congress chooses to do nothing. I can’t stand by and do nothing while so many are in need. I have to find a way to get something done”.

A new Gallup poll released Thursday showed that public faith in Congress had reached historic lows in advance of the 2014 midterm election. The poll also continued :There are probably more historic lows, but we got depressed after counting to 12.

In my opinion Congress has already reached the bottom of the barrel by continuing to oppose the president on whatever plans he tries to make by their continued obstructionism.

Furthermore I will say publicly that I believe that this congress has been abysmal in their passage of real legislation to help this country and it’s people (the point really is their being a racial bullier of the president). They don’t like him so they will do nothing to help him, or the country, and be happy they have stumped him because he is black. Remember folks their job is to move the country forward, not backward, and so it is with him as well.They also hate him because he has had the smartness to figure out ways around them to get the job done despite their attempts to block good legislation.

I personally wish that there was a way to get the do nothing members of congress out of there and put them in jail for their obstructionism of justice, because they have been racially biased in their actions. Every law that they have passed has I believe been racially and class motivated to Palm Beach lets forget  the little guy and make the rich richer, and women who are voters third class citizens while denying health care to our most vulnerable citizens.

Can I have an AMEN! Boy talk about John Boehner suing the president, he must be out of his mind for real, really lost it this week.

Here are the facts:

President Obama has only enacted 182 executive orders, the lowest rate of any president in 130 years.

According to the Washingtonpost, Boehner and the House Republicans didn’t sue Ronald Reagan (381 executive orders) or George W. Bush (291).

President Obama wouldn’t have to use executive orders to create jobs, promote equal pay, raise the minimum wage for millions, or tackle climate change if Boehner’s Republican House was doing their job. According to the Washington Post,7-12-2014 this will be the least productive Congress in American history.

Boehner’s frivilous lawsuit could cost millions of our tax dollars.

Those Republican Men

I  just cannot fathom how women can stay married to Republican men. First off, most of the men don’t want women to have critical health care options. Secondly, they don’t want their women to vote because I guess they don’t think that their women are smart enough to have an individual thought. Remember the state of Florida and the voting fraud tricks that they pulled in the last national election? Then they de listed all people with the name say.. John Anderson, and Anderson John. That took thousands of real peoples names off of the voter registration records.

Republicans continually push legislation and rhetoric that alienates entire groups of people. The republican leaders are no better than street thugs who are used to getting their own way by force, twisting arms and threats. Look at what they have tried to do with president Obama. They have been at him like a pack of dogs in a street fight since he came into office. That is right I am going to call a spade a spade no mater who is in on the action. President Obama is trying to level the playing field for all women. Why, because he loves his wife and his little girls.

Republican men are also forgetting their own little girls. Do these guys really want to make their daughters not to be able to get an abortion if she is raped, or if her uncle or brother, cousin rapes her? Where is their common sense? And furthermore where are their wives? Why aren’t their wives becoming active and speaking out against them or are they too fearful?I really want to see how many republican men get divorced after this political year is over. Women don’t like to have their rights taken away, ever.

As I was doing my dinner dishes tonight, I was struck by the question what are all of the republican women doing about all of the bullying that is going on in their party? How can they just stand idly by watching what their husbands are doing to this country? I mean it is their country as well as ours. Why aren’t they protesting? They have families just like the rest of us in the United States. Can’t they see what their extended families are going through when their husbands keep cutting necessary programs for our less fortunate? Don’t these women have any common sense? Forget the men they have already proved their angry and boisterous bullying tactics in public enough and disgraced themselves and the rest of the politicians while doing so.

We need all of our women to stand up and be heard, all of the voices of those who want to go forward to a better country and opportunities for all of us.

President Obama Pledges to Help All Victims of This Weeks Tornadoes

Amidst rants about his being born in the U.S. A. the president steps out of the overshadowing rumors and acts like he is a president. He is the president of the U.S.A. no matter what anyone privately thinks. Today he steps up to the plate. he promises to go to Alabama tomorrow to see for himself the state most damaged by terribley strong tornadoes that lashed out at many states in the past week.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama was essentially wiped off of the map by a tornado, over 300 people have been killed by the storms and many more are missing. President Obama has directed the FEMA Director Craig Fugateto go to Alabama ahead and assess the damages.

Calling the loss of life “heartbreaking”, the president promised Federal Aid to the victims. “In a matter of hours these deadly tornadoes … took mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors, even entire communities,” he said.

Governor Robert Bently is sending in the National guard to provide help.
