Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You fuckin' people. You have no idea how to defend a nation. All you did was weaken a country today, Kaffee. That's all you did. You put people's lives in danger. Sweet dreams, son.
Taken from Hollywood
A FEW GOOD MEN famous quote; Jack Nicholson portrayed (Col. Jessup): Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You want answers?
Tom Cruise (Kaffee): I think I'm entitled.
Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You want answers?
Tom Cruise (Kaffee): I want the truth!
Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You can't handle the truth!
I Believe in our Nation! What ever happened to "Patriotism"
This is taken from 2 Peter 3 3:16 speaking of these things in all his letters. Some things in these letters are hard to understand, things the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they also do to the rest of the scriptures. 3:17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard that you do not get led astray by the error of these unprincipled men and fall from your firm grasp on the truth. 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the honor both now and on that eternal day.

**************
I'm expressing my frustration with people, the media, or America's way of dealing with disaster or tragedy. In these times it appears whenever we feel guilty or lack responsibility to do something about a tragedy is when it's time to blame someone or something for the cause of the trouble, as people we all seek a "Father Figures" to lead us at church or in politics, yet among all the nations in the world we have become the most gluttonous above all else FREE loving folks by nature. The Media is pointing fingers at President Obama and screaming loudly he ain't doing enough is because once again when people like to imagine ordinary human beings as "Super humans" in our minds. So President Obama is expected to transform into Superman but has his S on crooked; I suppose now is the time to recognize, or some of us fail to realize that He is our leader but still humbly just a man at the end of the day.
Politics and the Law is his profession not Finances as in wall street bailouts, Ecology and Fossils Fuels, as in wars and rumors of wars. We elected him to get us out of a mess he didn't create that trail blazes back too many administrations ago to lay blame on any one President.
I say get mad! Really get mad about everything then just go get in the car and take a nice ride; look around the road while cruising just imagine yourself walking down the road, riding a bike or taking the bus to wherever it is your going, using an alternative to gasoline. How many of us are willing to give up our nice cars, SUV's or just have one car and use an alternative to gasoline.
But our country needs is an alternative to how much we consume trade deficit exists because of our habits and wants desires, demands... {I've experienced firsthand a real awakening in my life being is I wasn't prepared for my economy to change so drastically so fast my thoughts were I had a fantastic life living large only to see GOD made it possible HE had provided me so much; truly I was responsible cause and effects for the conditions of my doing and that makes me responsible for my own plight to recovery financial and/or otherwise, to be mindful of how I treat others and how my own actions affect those around me}. I support Barack Obama and his Leadership nobody is solely to blame for what is upon us for this mess we facing now. It's cause & effect a failure to take more care and responsibility as individuals toward making this world a better place to live in for all; we fail to give the true thanks and glory to GOD first; going to church is one thing but real ministry is outside of the church any great scholar of faith will admit that try saving a soul of a person who has no knowledge of GOD and his ways, constantly abusing this earth like when it hits the fan the abuser always vowing to do better yet only to do worse by repeating the same things.
This is the worse "man made disaster" recorded in history nobody knows the true outcome all we can do is our share to become part of the solution find something to SACRIFICE.. Ask yourself ? what are you willing to collectively do to move ahead as a nation. We show so much promise yet the bible prophesy has shown us just this and once again Hollywood usually is years ahead in portraying us as foolish, naive, and greedy Americans who aren't willing to accept our fate. We define having Freedom as living "Lascivious", anything goes, we consume alot of everything all around the world. Energy is depleted, withdrawn never ever redepositing the love back into this earth that we draw from only wanting more and more for convenience sake, it's deep.
I'm not a guru on any specific topic I write from inspiration or reaction to the current events surrounding my life, but I got enough knowledge to see that we are all headed in the wrong direction. It's time to step up and do something besides lay back and place blame. Our country has to get better as a people no matter what spectrum of the quilt you come from. The President in my opinion is doing a good job based on the hand he was dealt coming into office, yet we are like spoiled children waiting for Santa Clause to bring our presents at Christmas he is just a great leader and politician and gets things done. Period.
Let's support his efforts please.
THE TRUTH WILL SET U FREE THE TRUTH IS THE LIGHT WORD IS BOND TRUTH
and then" JESUS SAID I AM THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE FOR NO MAN SHALL SEE THE THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME."
Be Honest it is what it is, can you handle that.....
I thought what we had was real? NO ONE can explain the feelings that I feel....I was kiSSed, liCKed, and DISmiissed.
How can what i thought was love lead to this?
Baby my love was true. I never knew that hurt and pain’s definition would be you., and you say you was hurt 2?
Please!
I’m not as stupid as you think.
Did you ever think of me? while u were out doin what u do best?
Jumping into your ex’s bed?
I REALIZED I was too good for you.
Even though love tried to stop me,
I REALIZED I had to go.
I REALIZED we were through.
Dedicated to all the loves of my life.....

******************************************************* MOVING ALONG
Race and Politics; visited upon the Black Church; Is First Amendment in question....
I posted the Drum Major Instinct speech on the Obama08Campaign after the Senator from Illinois made the remarkable speech on Race, only problem is that the Senator forgot to put more emphasis on what lead up to a decision to come to Christ, with the Shepard being Dr./Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
This not the focal point of this blogger, ah but it raises a question on two fronts.. How good is his judgment, if he can opine not to adhere the same doctrine, but come under the covering of this urban Minister of the Gospel. Raises the question, how far have we really come when this becomes the obsession of the mainstream media a 10.7 sec. soundbite of Dr. Wright speaking about what his experience has been and the prophetic revelation of what has come upon us as a Nation. Not just black people or the black community, because we all have been desolate and focused on private issues to be bothered with this mess! We all caught up in paying high debt, work, family issues.. Stuff that hits us directly to even care about how serious this is. They actually want a black man to denounce all he believes about this man as a person in order to gain approval of the vast majority. Dismissing his call for unity from all races to whom he spoke, even the conservatives raved about how "Historic, Magnificent, even "Brilliant," not since, ever have we heard... and yet, the 1st Amendment attacked and mainstream media outlets have created Dr. Wright whose a hero in the black community and transformed his image into a Monster of sorts.. As a community we have; Dismissed this incident as ignorance and misunderstanding, but GOD! I suggest we all keep up on current affairs of state here and abroad from now on out, crucial times in our economy. Oil is soaring and everything else is inflating like the ripple effect. If you are concerned as I, then get involved on a local level, or just do what I've done. Write send it to your friends, family, and help in some way to give back. Now is the time to make it plain about where you stand in the scheme of things.. Families have to unite if we can't as a nation to get facts on scholarships for our children, this proposed health care plan these candidates are putting forth. We need to mobilize and get involved in what ever side you fall on be it Independent, or the big Two! It's really our responsibilities to ensure that our children's future is not threatened by research cut out the waste and lets invest in stocks, bonds, Cd's.. not music!Kramer of CNBC's Kudlow and Kramer, recently commented around holiday's how we waste $$ as the average consumer (any race), that we should reconsider buying our children, sneakers [Nike], high priced toys like the X-boxes, and Play stations - but purchase the child a gift that pays dividends [in their name] by investing those $$ in the stock that produces those items - the parent company that produces those i.e., Mattel, Hasbro, etc.., whatever brand name gifts you purchase that cost hundreds of dollars it could pay for a few shares of stock or T Bonds trust account! By the time that stock matures, or TBonds you purchased for that child matures with interest until 17 or 18 years of age it shows dividends by the time college approaches; its a head start no loans needed.. Too many of our children walk across the stage into debt as soon as they graduate from college. It also has tax advantages, shelters...
I mean, we all have a role to play, anything worthwhile is definitely worth the struggle.. How else you gonna appreciate success. I'm tired of the black community not realizing why we always caught up in these recessions or famines! (We never store up during the 7 years of plenty.... just, being sarcastic now!)
We're at a point in history where we all must wake up and pay attention to all that's going on, Marvin Gaye wrote in "What's Going On", a soulful opera melody in 1969 of a prophetic end we approach. I use to believe that "Save the Children" was directed at my generation from those wildly wonderful days of bliss and drugs; total ignorance during the 70's.... Well, I've lived long enough to understand that it was by no means directed at those times [70's], no it speaks to the right now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More amazing to me was when I read Dr. King's sermon for the third time it struck me how prophetic he was, and probably why he died. For he had found God's purpose for his life and knew clearly what GOD wanted him to do, and all that was left was just to walk it out... His dream, vision has evolved 40 years later we have progressed, but at what cost? When we got here over 400 years ago most Black people were stripped of any acknowledgment of name, tribe, and native languages. All was lost, most of my relatives don't know what part of Africa we came from and really don't wanna know.. Although, I plan to visit the continent soon, my American family tree is over 200 years old. Well, this candidate happens to be a man of color; multiracial but his dad is Kenyan not African American it's a difference. His American experience was in Kansas the state not Kansas City, MO.. [remember Dorothy, click your heels three times off to see the Wizard, Dorothy], well Senator Obama's was from a White middle class perspective, his maternal roots raised him. But, in order for him to get elected he is expected to denounce his church~family heritage in the African American Church, where many people have attended from all walks of life. Your church is supposed to be personal, but again... I'm using my blogger to express it put it out in cyberspace maybe somebody can explain how he can even relate to the experience of what Jeremiah Wright said? Well, it was probably more entertaining listening to him rant if you couldn't relate to the experience, the black church has always been the focal point of the plight of all Africans during slavery up until this current 21st century. It's a refuge and a teacher, we as a community have felt hatred, and expressed it openly. But, we always open the dialog and accept the blow back, Dr. King died at 39 years old I was eight years old. Today, I'm 47 years old so I remember a time when it wasn't so nice and we didn't have our own beauty products in Grocery stores. Just Lilt.. and Clairol. C'mon we need to really visit this issue, it's important I personally can't say I object to all Dr. Wright had to say, hell, if you watched the Million Man March it's all about frustration not hate. A dismayed and disillusioned culture of children. The biggest consumers in the USA economy, and the most loyal voting block in the Nation no matter whose party you vote with.
Switching signals, the weather conditions across the Nation all over the Midwest Region of this country and Deep South, North, and West Coast fires have drastically caused harm to hundreds of thousands of families; economy issues, i.e., gas, food, even entertainment.. A world in distress, and we using plastic and payday loans to justify the means. We failing to see the direction we are heading, and money matters... They giving us money borrowed from Skiddish bank to Stim-ul-us, [stimulate us]. We not paying attention because we have all become victim to what Dr. King preached February 8, 1968 at Ebenezer, the Drum Major Instinct....... Well, I'm included in that statistic, but the issue is who is fit to lead, are we really a nation who follows GOD. Do we trust Him? My assessment is that mother nature is about the best evidence of a GOD, and if the current weather and climactic changes on Earth is any proof of God's will and his love for us. HIS Grace abounds, but disasters are really occurring more frequently here and other parts of the world. I've been watching this Primary Election08, seems as if every time there's been a Primary more Natural weather disasters' since all of this begun. I mean Jesus said his word that they would know HIM and thanks to satellite TV, all of the Earth, nation to nation.
The Gospel was discussed all around the world for the past 3 weeks if you been watching that same soundbite over, and over, and again. Listen to the words and read New Testament, Ephesians- Revelation, you got time. Read or google Dr. Kings speeches in those last few months of his life, he was very adamant about the war, and said some controversial things, about as scary as Jeremiah Wright but without all the anger... and, If you believe John was on the isle of Patmos when those things were revealed as he witnessed in the last Book of the New Testament. Even if you choose not to believe in the written word. Pay attention and research. the year 2012...http://www.viewzone.com/endtime.html
If I can help somebody as I pass along,If I can cheer somebody with a word or song,If I can show somebody he's traveling wrong,Then my living will not be in vain.If I can do my duty as a Christian ought,If I can bring salvation to a world once wrought,If I can spread the message as the master taught,Then my living will not be in vain.
We in some trying times, stay prayed up, loved up, and please do unto others as you would have them do unto you!

I told him that today a have another chance to share my
life with someone.
He told me be blessed this day and be sure to tell you hello.
For it's so amazing to realize with each passing day GOD brings we rise with a plan to win the day as we run our race. Relying on each other in times of joy and sorrow as we journey through 24 hours on any given day. We've shared life ups and downs; those changes that make you turn around. Often able to show some kindness and alittle emphathy as we exchange opinions or pleasantries crossing many deliberate pathways But no matter day in & day out. We deserve the joy of dancing in the sunshine, knowing when to lock arms we hold on grip tightly through the storms of life.
As time passed
We grown up evolved become friends - Often overlooked but never taken for granted it's only by God's amazing Grace I've come to love you more….
There is no greater blessing to appreciate life daily to encourage one another to dig a little deeper, uplift our wings to fly that much higher...
Sharing and laughing about how we got by, so
Thanks for allowing me become a part of your life as we begin another days journey sharing our lives together in Christ.
Originally published in Esquire and in the International Worker Order pamphlet A New Song (1938)
Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free. (America never was America to me.)
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed-- Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above.
(It never was America to me.)
O, let my land be a land where Liberty Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free, Equality is in the air we breathe. (There's never been equality for me, Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")
Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark? And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?
I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars. I am the red man driven from the land, I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek-- And finding only the same old stupid plan Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.
I am the young man, full of strength and hope, Tangled in that ancient endless chain Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land! Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need! Of work the men! Of take the pay! Of owning everything for one's own greed!
I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil. I am the worker sold to the machine. I am the Negro, servant to you all. I am the people, humble, hungry, mean-- Hungry yet today despite the dream. Beaten yet today--O, Pioneers! I am the man who never got ahead, The poorest worker bartered through the years.
Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream In the Old World while still a serf of kings, Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true, That even yet its mighty daring sings In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned That's made America the land it has become. O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas In search of what I meant to be my home-- For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore, And Poland's plain, and England's grassy lea, And torn from Black Africa's strand I came To build a "homeland of the free."
The free?
Who said the free? Not me? Surely not me? The millions on relief today? The millions shot down when we strike? The millions who have nothing for our pay? For all the dreams we've dreamed And all the songs we've sung And all the hopes we've held And all the flags we've hung, The millions who have nothing for our pay-- Except the dream that's almost dead today.
O, let America be America again-- The land that never has been yet-- And yet must be--the land where every man is free. The land that's mine--the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME-- Who made America, Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain, Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain, Must bring back our mighty dream again.
Sure, call me any ugly name you choose-- The steel of freedom does not stain. From those who live like leeches on the people's lives, We must take back our land again, America!
O, yes, I say it plain, America never was America to me, And yet I swear this oath-- America will be!
Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death, The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies, We, the people, must redeem The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers. The mountains and the endless plain-- All, all the stretch of these great green states-- And make America again!
"Make America Great
Again" Campaign slogan-Donald Trump 2015
I'd like to begin this with a glance back in
time 2008 when gas prices were at an
all time
high and jobs loss 800,000 a month and unemployment was at its highest since
the great depression; and banks like Goldman Sachs, ENRON, AIG, JP Morgan, they
all were selling junk bonds and the housing market all were on the brink of
ruin. TARP bailouts, 2008-2009.
1/3rd of Americans didn't have access to health insurance, due to pre-existing
conditions, there was no coverage for adult children at home or in college past
age 21.
The Republican Party 2001-2005 held both houses and voted for biggest tax cuts
in history during war depleted the US Treasury and 2009 called the first
African American President a liar out loud interrupting his speech during his
first State of the Union Address because of his remarks about immigration,
remember "You lie!"
Why does America want to put them back at the realm;
After 6 years and 75 repeals, a government shutdown? The Republican
Majority in the House has no replacement plan for the Affordable Care Act
better known as Obamacare.
They're defiance alone has staggered the
economic recovery for many middle to low income Americans. Have judges
who advocate from the bench; 2014 Ebola was first unleashed because the
state of Texas has no health care policies in place. Their delegates i.e., TX
delegation Ted Cruz and Louie Gomer have trashed all bills coming to the house
and senate floor. Also, Ted Cruz was single handily responsible for the
government shutdown.
Obstructing any and all olive branches that came from the Executive Branch.
In order to reclaim total power in all three branches of government.
The Supreme Court of the United States is party neutral yet you nobody
called out the government officials of that state to be accountable for their
policies which hurt women and other minorities due to gerrymandered districts,
which was implemented by Former Congressman Tom Delay from Texas, who
eventually served time in prison for some shady mismanagement of funds.
Why does America not realize that the right
leaning Supreme Court upheld Citizens United RIP Antonin Scalia advocated while
on the bench for outlawing, affirmative action, voting rights act, Roe vs. Wade
woman's right to choose, and protection of the gun lobbyist. These cases were
already litigated and settled 48 and 50+years ago.
Governor Chris Christie hugged President Obama
and said during Hurricane Sandy cleanup he would rebuild; where are the funds
promised to those people in New Jersey who lost their businesses, homes and
possessions?
Why does America forget about the disasters that have happened over the years
yet Republicans fail to govern and send budget cuts to the Senate that hurt
average Americans such as SNAP and the Farm bill.
A government shutdown 2010 that almost ruined our nation’s credit rating.
Despite the huge headwind, President Obama endured still managed to
accomplished a lot through executive order; passed a major health care law while
the Democrats briefly held both Houses;
1st: January 4, 2007 –
December 19, 2007 2nd: January 3, 2008 – January 3, 2009,
The media whose always fueling the dueling coroneted Hillary
Clinton, and loyal Democrats rallied to get her the nomination; what' was her
message, it was I'm next in line, I want to be the 1st woman elected as
President regardless of the baggage her opponents set for her. Yet she
ran almost unopposed by the Democratic Party based upon loyal peers who often
sought her and Bill Clinton's endorsement and support it was payback time.
What she accomplished during her tenure as Secretary of State besides
promote issues that compliment her agenda, was destroyed by hearings on Benghazi,
and a stand-alone server. Previous Secretaries of Defense Robert Gates
and Leon Panetta both publish memoirs to embarrass Obama
administration. Yet both of them knew the President regarded their advice in
handling most Middle East foreign affairs.
How soon we forget, because it’s not good to remember the roughest times... but
when Obama had to send stimulus packages to the House and Senate to bailout
this country they bailed out all of the largest banks, even two mentioned above
and the Federal Reserve kept their word to yield on interest rate lowest ever
and buy government bonds. How could they forget the working man, our
infrastructure? Jobs were never created to put our working class people back to
work. No investment in fixing our middle economic structure, research and
development programs cut funding for Education, Planned Parenthood, EPA, CDC,
and VA, and many other government funded programs that would have stabilized
the middle class of America just the same as Wall Street; yet due to the GOP
shutdowns/stubbornness to made austerity cuts mandated due to stalemate. Instead
of stimulating the middle of America they only stimulated the wealth or the 1%
which saved wall street the DOW has hit two historical highs since President
Obama was elected in 2012.Unemployment is at an all-time low since 2008 4.9%
more Americans are back to work but at lower wages, which again the minimum
wage bill is being blocked by the GOP (while the NRA is controlling the
RNC Republican National Committee). Alongside of blocking confirmation of
Supreme Court Nominee to replace Justice Scalia. Convincing constituency that
Congress is upholding the constitution, I think not!
Since domestic terrorism began, experienced high body counts but the gun
lobbyist refused to allow legislation for background checks to ensure that
mentally unstable or any terrorist wouldn't get guns. They oppose any
immigration legislation to legitimize undocumented, finally the Republicans
want to eliminate any right to choose or contraception available to women, yet
no mention of what Viagra has done to men who often die from heart disease.
We need to wake up and stop allowing the media to feed us what we should think
or our pastors whether you are for either party, you have to wake up and
realize that the scales of justice and equality are tilting to one side; that's
to the privileged whose party affiliation is Money and Power! (Let's end
Citizens United)
2009- President Obama has done some amazing things for this Nation - we haven't
had any terrorist attacks since 911, and he has tried to meet his counter parts
half way but each time they only seek to bring him down and embarrass him as a
world leader. History will write his-story quite well. How soon we
forget he caught Bin laden, he responded to Ebola in Africa with troops
building hospitals; he didn't go to war in Syria two reasons 1.) It’s a Civil
War that will never end 2.) Who’s the enemy and who the rebels are,
and all agreed Bashar
al-Assad must go; so he formed a coalition of
Nations to deal with the crisis.
Now he's fighting his fellow countryman to prevent a ground War but
establish the groundwork for limiting nuclear proliferation in Middle East.
Rejected outright by same individuals who rallied and fueled fear enraged
the population to go to war in Iraq. They were wrong had no strategy and
the result same soldiers we trained ran away from the fight with ISIS.
Trillions on propping up a government unprepared 10 years later.
ISIS is Saddam Hussein's former Military that went underground, Late in 2003, after the Americans had defeated and disbanded
Saddam’s army, Baghdadi helped found Jaysh Ahl al-Sunna wa-l-Jamaah (Army of the People of the Sunna and Communal Solidarity),
an insurgent group; that's what Dick
Cheney and Fox News don't tell you.
This decision not to go into Syria has spared lives of our sons and daughters some
veterans who still haven't received help from Congress after being wounded in
Iraq and Afghanistan. George W. Bush and; Dick Cheney Administration
started this mess when they went into a sovereign Country to westernize them
for control of their minerals "OIL" black gold.
Now they're fighting to maintain the foot hole in that region.
President Eisenhower/General Eisenhower called it "The Industrial War
complex he warned about these things we see in Foreign Affairs today which
generates billions of dollars for DOD hires thousands of private contractors,
training, feeding, and housing our troops, building internal infrastructure for
IT in Green zone. These jobs would have been given to civil service
workers in 1958-1980. Since the days of Ronald Regan, government has
gotten more and more private. So whose surprised that they all are living in
chaos 13 years later after the UN inspectors left without finding weapons of
mass destruction and the US hasn't seen a "mushroom cloud" to
date. Lastly, gas prices are down to the lowest in years because of
President Obama energy policy that is working. Fracking has proved to
cause a lot issues, Nebraska American Indians protested and won, but
questions about the environment have not proven out but, the GOP say’s the
Keystone pipeline is the key to economic growth; well if so how come it only
creates 50,000 jobs?
They are banking on fear and hate to get their
"base" out well; we do have to be cautious because middle America is
about to end as we know it if they get control and a possible impeachment of
this President for his promise to sign an executive order on immigration for he
isn't like "Washington" and that's what we voted for he doesn't spend
evenings drinking with Congressman or Senators but at home with his wife and
children, no He's not like Washington those Ole pol's who do backroom deals
like establishing Jim Crow laws after the emancipation.
How soon we forget the good old "Southern Strategy" and how LBJ's
fight on poverty swiftly changed to WAR and became the fight in Vietnam. Over
500,000 lives lost...
I saved the best for last recent news one month before he leaves office these
are the headlines
"Israel summons US ambassador as
Netanyahu lashes out at Obama" our friends.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a friend
with Adelson, Trump's son in law and others who tend to not get that there is
an agreement they're not upholding to it. Since 1968. But they keep building
settlements on the West Bank, and now the incoming President Elect Donald Trump
nominated an Ambassador who’s his bankruptcy attorney who’s so pro-Israel he
wants to move the Embassy to Jerusalem...
The world alliances are
watching from a distance and will judge and condemn those who seek adversity
over peace.
Israel has
powerful Billionaire Republicans friends, and a Democrat with power
Chuck Schumer the new Minority Leader whose main objective is protect Prime
Minister Netanyahu although feels justified to insult, besmirch the sitting
President Obama's integrity.
Since Donald Trump got elected his
Administration will be in control of diplomacy in Middle East with peace talks;
So far how he's handling peace between 2 tribes Palestine and Israel with
one state solution. By taking sides with Israel of course! Netanyahu was
invited by former Speaker of the House Boehner with the audacity to give a
speech to the 113th Congress House Republicans to undermine our 44th
President. Netanyahu is considered a friend of who? After President
Obama gave them 39 Billion dollars in aid that's no friend but a major FOE!
How soon we forget........... VOTE 2016 [2014] but make sure
the person you cast the ballot for is working in your best interests and not
their own. Listen to what they say don't react to what sounds
good. It's time to stop the bickering and obstruction and invest in
America's future before we all lose, EVERYTHING!
Trump Won! ....but then Judas thought he'd won too 30 pieces of silver.....
Gods plan don't always coincide with our earthly, carnal ways of rationalizing. God doesn't always show his hand, so it doesn't make sense to some or all.
"Keep your Head to the Sky~yyy"..........
God Bless and Thanks for letting me share my own personal opinions.!
The Most Highest Deity, is the best example of this. The Author and Finisher of all Men and Humankind, creatures that creep upon the earth....
Men, not just African American Males are born to believe it's okay to father children and not be committed to them. Commitment is lacking to our struggle, where are the real Fathers? I mean we are really caught up on the drive by love affairs, half on a baby R Kelly comes to mind.
We really do not have any true examples of, that type of commitment but, once you take on the role as a father even if you have legally adopted a child, once the marriage or relationship sank didn't mean no responsibility to the care for the child ... lets get real!
Man Up and be that father, a "daddy" any two people can make a baby. Why should a child suffer because of wrong decision or bad choice. None of us can choose our parents, siblings, or relatives. We come into this world innocent butt naked, with no consciousness of worldly belongings, we unconditionally love our parents, we have to trust them to do the right things.
Now let me kick the scripture as normal it's not me but GOD speaking through me, to me and I love to spread the Love.....
Gen 35:11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; KJV
We have some strong role models our first African American President, Barack is a beautiful example of what real Kings are made of, and he can't change his mind and walk or run, getting locked up and put into drama being distracted by so many beautiful women in the World..... African, Asian, European, Latino so many choices.
When you make a commitment to a partner or marry regardless of the challenges, growing pains is what makes any relationship stronger. Once, you become a Father when the going gets rough, people fall short we become dismayed. Often times looking for another mate on the side which complicates life even more. Remember the young people in your life the adolescent watch your every move and often emulate the same behavior once they've grown into a man or woman, a reflection of you.
Proverbs 22:6-8King James Version (KJV)
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
