IMMIGRATION

 Apparently John McCain and Ted Kennedy introduced a WORKABLE Immigration bill back in the day and it was rejected.

Maybe we should take a look at that bill......

The soap opera in the White House

This current show taking place between two very wealthy men should be ignored but of course it is very hard not to watch.

I am leaning toward a staged ruckus.

It would make sense that a grifter and a showman would arrange to have a fallout simply to confuse the American public regarding the BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL.

The defense budget goes up and the budget for social programs goes down

Poor people are Donald's least favorite type of human being.

They sure don't drive Tesla's.

Knowing how both men like the spotlight I will not be surprised if there is a huge reconciliation and it dominates the news while the Senate approves the bill and sends it to the White House.

It's another slight of hand trick that the greatest grifter in political history will pull off.

The fact that 75 million people still support him is the real story.

He wasn't kidding when he said he could get away with ANYTHING.

So very very very off-kilter

The current Trump term has me very off balance and 

I'm so perplexed

 that I have nothing to say.

MUST LISTEN CAREFULLY

LEGAL and VERY VERY WRONG 

When you click on the LINK above...... 

......make sure you restart the story from the beginning. 

 I realize that 60 Minutes is one of DJTrump's fake news outlets but maybe you need to rethink what he thinks.

Playing with the Market or playing the Market

The percentage of people who invest in the Stock Market is around 60 %.  Most of those investments are through IRA's and Mutual Funds that are available through work related benefits.

80 % of the individual Stock Market investors have incomes above $100,000

Therefore most people in America are NOT going to get wealthy during these wild market fluctuations. 

So DJT says the other day...."it's time to get rich."  It really helps if you are already flush.

We know that The Donald doesn't like poor people and he doesn't like people who aren't good looking.

So homely poor people are truly up shit creek during this latest tour of duty by The Donald.

I remind everyone to check out the Debt Clock

Clock

When you consider that HE keeps firing clerical staff from every branch of Government, except the Military, it's pretty easy to see that millions of people will be affected.

Have you tried calling anyone who works for the IRS or Social Security or The EPA or the Forest Service or the CDC?

Good luck if you need help with a Government program.

Go back to the CLOCK and see how LARGE our Government is!

People are needed to run the largest business in the world.

THE UNITED STATES IS THE LARGEST BUSINESS IN THE WORLD.....WITH THE LARGEST MILITARY BUDGET BY FAR.

Playing poker with Tariffs as the ante is risky.

And why can't we refer to Tariff's as Taxes?

It's your turn to either bet or fold.

Good luck

Hard to imagine

 All the moves by the new Trump administration are hard to imagine.....and almost impossible to accept.

I defer to a more knowledgeable source

In 2012 I listened to a TS song and wrote this poem

 Never broken ©



I listen to the latest swift and I wonder why
The words aren’t mine and they make me laugh and cry
I used to write songs with similar type lines
And yet our world is gender divided by multiple strange times

It’s odd it’s crazy it’s a universal joke
But at least I know now that I can’t be broke
Oh yeah I can be harmed and cut to the bone
But never broken and never alone

It’s been years since someone made me write a rhyming line
I thought I had moved past the silly and sublime
But then I listen to swift and it makes me recall
That what I used to do wasn’t silly at all

It’s just a hidden part that came out naturally
And then tucked itself just as fast back inside of me
It never went away because it wasn’t really there
It just didn’t want to play out in the clean fresh air

Stuck behind a script an article a piece of art or a blog
The rhyming timing events were just sleeping like a log
Hoyt used to summon the lines by just being himself
And now from nowhere swift shares the wealth

It’s odd it’s crazy it’s a universal joke
But at least I know now that I can’t be broke
Oh yeah I can be harmed and cut to the bone
But never broken and never alone

And then he said.....WHAT?

Every time Donald gets called out for something he did that isn't a good idea he simply says...."It's just part of the negotiation process"

The tariff runaround is really just a part of the negotiation process and most likely they won't be around for very long.

IF THEY ARE AROUND FOR AWHILE THEN OUR ECONOMY WILL SUFFER BECAUSE THE MIDDLE CLASS FEELS THE MOST PAIN FROM INCREASED PRICES.

PRICE INCREASES ON STAPLE ITEMS IS THE ONLY RESULT OF TARIFFS

PERIOD

Don't know what to say

 The amount of falsehoods spoken by Donald the other night leave me at a total lost for words.
