What kind of Leader 'fits' current America ?

        

         Before attempting to answer the question, please allow me to give a modest picture of the 

morass America is in.::

          For the past seven years or so,  the United States of America no longer thrive as it ought to

in accordance with the noble vision of its founding Fathers.

          The "fundamental change" promised by then candidate Obama 'changed' the nation not for good....... but.... for ill.  Causing divisive attitudes among the people.

           The United States lost its hegemony among nations of the planet.  

            Its once powerful military is so degraded that Iran has the temerity to humiliate "captured"

sailors before the world.

            Its national debt doubled to the tune of 19 trillion under Obama"s watch......

            Its educational system is a mess......and more......

           Trump wanted a military so powerful nobody would dare challenged.....one respected by other

countries.  Trump has long demonstrated his love for the military people by giving large sums of 

cash to finance their activities.....just do some research.

            

          Yet, the internal security of the nation appears an urgent matter to be attended to with utmost

care.  For it is the economy and its synergistic relations with peace and order....which is out of whack.

The growing numbers or percentage of Islam's followers posits a disturbance when this reached just

seven percent of the population or less.

          Worst is the deception of the American people by the  Muslim practice and application of the

Quranic taqiya.

           Here is where Trump's bold and brass non-politician approach will be tested and tried for its

practical simplicity.  Throwing out these denizens who do not pledge allegiance to the Flag and

the United States Constitution.......

          Trump's application of the Rule of Law on illegal immigrants by deporting them within the

premises of legal procedures----but enforced and applied and followed through.

           It is to be hope for that the economy will improved under the management of a successful and unselfish entrepreneur than a scheming politician.  It is said that if a government is run like a

corporation---it will create jobs and avoid suffocating debts to avoid bankruptcy. Budgeting principles are applied for profit and balance.

           The government can be likened to a family.  (Is not the family the smallest unit in the 

government)?

           Now what kind of leader fits America ?

           I believe---in short---the head of an honorable family can best lead the United States to

get out of the abyss it has fallen into with Trump's 'amazing' energy and broad skills ,,,add his

Economics 'genius' so noted by experts.

            In the end, it is up for the American citizenry to chart the future.....of this once great nation.

           

Faith and Sports in the Ring

       

         This long awaited bout between two contrasting characters generated countless comments and

opinions and an interesting guessing game as to who is going to win.

          

          All based on their respective experience (track record) and physical prowess.

          Floyed boasted:: "I'm a born winner."  And proclaiming with gusto his high earnings.

His bawdy behavior and yet to be proven claim to pulverize Pacquiao appear to contradict the quiet

confidence of the first 8-division title holder who said::I will be the one to give him (Floyed) his

first defeat."

          Assuming all things are equal---, Manny's trust in a higher power is his ultimate source of
strength and stamina.  Like Tebow in another field of sports,,,you see him kneel and make the sign
of the Cross in his corner.   Manny's manifested humility in the ring;; in victory and in defeat---in
his generosity speaks well of Manny Pacquiao and his Faith.  (His smiling acceptance of defeat by an erring judge or tons of taxes cause by an unacceptable accountant).

            In humility---there is strength. An inner strength or energy in both forms of wave and stream.
It comes from the realm of the Unknown. It also flows from the love and admiration of the more than
100 million Filipinos cheering him on----from his native land---the Philippines and around the world
in diaspora.

           If, Faith can move mountains---Manny's fate is to win !

         

Ferguson Fiasco

               The instinct of self-preservation---I believe---is innate in every living thing.
        It is either a flight or fight path to life in the face of deadly danger.
             
                A wild boar will face the hunter if cornered in the woods. While a friendly dog
         will bare its fangs to an unfriendly stranger. Ready to give its all to defend itself.

                Officer Darren Wilson appears cornered inside his police vehicle and had to fire
          his service firearm when this thug Michael Brown reportedly tried to grab his gun.
          Brown was hit in the hand but apparently a moment of struggle ensued since blood
          had time to spill on the gun's hammer and inside the vehicle. Brown felt the pain and
          fled only to make an about-face and moved towards his prey.

                 By training, Officer Wilson must get his man and got out from the vehicle.
           Following police procedure he ordered Brown to freeze. Brown kept coming with
           a menacing (demon) look despite shots from the Officer. His massive body taking the
           bullets like tiny painless pellets. Until one fatally  found his head.  He dropped dead
           forward ---in momentum---in front of the Officer.
 
                   Assuming, his hands were up in the air as he rushed towards the peace officer
            it was more a cover of his ill intention. Did he not say his arms are his weapons?

                    Officer Wilson was aware he was no match to this thug---who respects not his
             uniform. And, he knows his service firearm was issued him for his own protection.                
                    He has to live and he used it (accordingly).
               
                     Society needs his services.
    

       

Comenters on the Hamas/Israel Conflict

It is amusing to read the comments of people from all sides on this long standing conflict.
What is bemusing to my simple mind is how  these kinds of commentaries formed in the individual minds of the commentators. While the situation that led to this war is clear and understandable ---the logic of their
reasoning amuses me no end.

A woman from the United Nations apparently in hysteria wanted Israel to share its iron dome to Hamas.
Because, to her both should have equal leverage.

Only the insane will do such stupidity ---to its enemy !
This is not a sword fight ---Navi Pillay ! Me suggest you go back to school or see a psychiatrist.

A dark commentator deplored this war---cause it is "offensive."
Since when is war not offensive ?  In the movies, perhaps ---say I.

Others say it isn't a fair fight:: Hamas has more casualties than Israel.
Is it not a fact (by now) that Hamas did not provide 'shelters' for the Palestinians ? Only tunnels exclusively
for themselves.

While Israel built safety shelters for its people to run into ---whenever signal sirens sing.

A president of a once powerful and esteemed nation decried the killings of Israel's enemies. Why ?
Did he not labelled these nemeses of his country's ally:: "terrorists."

Why love to save the depraved ? Of what good are they ? In a supposedly civilized world !

One thing that this ancient game of man revealed::: How the thinking of men/women can be so programmed
in multiple and complex ways ---so as to compound their minds. A very sad state !  Indeed !

But this daydreaming must at this point be cut out.....for there be other things to engage my mind.

For mine health and well-being !

Don't stop this war

This is an issue which can only be tried by war---and, decided by victory. (To paraphrase Lincoln).

The Hamas appears to  be mad people. And now gone mad all the more.  Why ?

Perhaps, it is true that::: "Whom the gods want to destroy ---they  first make them mad.

So, me plead with diplomats not to disturb the scenery.  However bloody it looks to those unschooled
in human history.  Since time immemorial.

Hamas brought carnage to themselves.
Why blame the Israelis ?
What kind of logic, do you have ?

Less than ten years ago, Israel pulled out of Gaza.  Even forcing its settlers out of Gaza.
Withdrew its military. And, so gave Gaza over to the Palestinians (including West Bank).
Gave them land and independence, so to say.
Israel even left 3,000 greenhouses that produced fruits and flowers for export...which Hamas destroyed.

How did Hamas reciprocate this noble act of a people of a living God ?

Please read history.

Hamas asked for this bloody war

          The die is cast !

          There is no turning back.

          The discovery of so many tunnels to launch deadly rockets
           to annihilate Israel gives the Israel Defense Forces the right
           to destroy these "evil designs" with the equally responsible
           Palestinian people who allowed these structures on their
           premises.

           It is unreasonable for 'outsiders' to intervene when they cannot
           guarantee the safety of the Israelis from these madmen.

           Unless the tunnels and  weapons in the hands of Hamas are
           totally disabled ---Israel remains unsafe.

           As it appears: a peaceful Hamas is dead Hamas.

For dreams must die---to live again

             

               For dreams do sleep

              And, sleep at times
              The slumber of the dead. 

               So much  so, that while
               Me  longed to speak
               To let out these dormant thoughts
                But, then some forces unseen
                And, yet, so real
                Stayed my  tongue.

                 But, am now deep
                 Into the night, and
                 Sleep me must
                 To rest my eyes. That
                  Me open them again
                  At dawn's fresh hours 
                  To write to you
                   My beloved Friend !
