IN THE END ONLY TEN TO FIFTEEN PERCENT OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS WILL CHOOSE THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Suing the Federal Government

With all the hoopla about the next election, the outcome is still in the hands of a minority. Now, when I say minority, I don’t mean a Hispanic or African American , etc., I mean in the hands of the independent or non-affiliated. Some where between 42% – 45% of the nation is going to vote Repub and the same number are going to vote Demo. The remaining 10-16% percent are going to look at things differently. The people that have their minds made up would vote for their candidate even if their candidate set their house on fire and had the accelerant in their hands. They would hand their candidate more accelerant to make sure that they don’t run out. Well our house is on fire, currently, and one side is going to hand their candidate the accelerant. Luckily, the moderates, independents, non-affiliated, whatever you want to call them are pretty good fire safety specialists. They are going to vote for the candidate that they think will best suit the nation with it’s current dilemma. These people are what Malcolm Gladwell calls outliers. Non traditionalists that view things differently. The way I view things is by simply asking what is needed at the current time. My opinion is smart leadership that can get the country on the right fiscal track. The economy has tanked at my vote is going to go to the person who I think can make the tough decisions on the pandemic so they can then turn the country back on the economic rails. The person I vote for would have to have a sound plan, and a proven strategy. I look at both candidates and wonder if it isn’t too late to vote for another one, lol, it is. The way I see it is, President Trump would be the pick for the fastest recovery but the one with the most risk, as bubbles would appear because his method is high risk high reward less regulation. Candidate Biden is more the safer bet, moderate risk with moderate returns more regulation but probably a lengthier recovery time but also no bubble affect. In the end it’s what you think these times call for, high risk more reward more bubbles and patch them up later and hope those bubbles don’t burst creating and even worse problem or low risk, slower recovery no bubbles but more regulation (not necessarily bad) and longer wait but no worries of having to patch up something and no worries of the whole thing coming down. My opinion is…. my own. You make yours.

I get a phone call and the guy says “I own you”. At first I’m taken aback and say “what?!”. He then repeats it “I own you”. I just think for a minute and say “Alright, but I haven’t paid taxes in 5 years and I shit on the rug”.

(I was thinking about putting this in “fact of the day”)

e34d6-united_states_1822-1824

My son was walking home from school when someone drove by and yelled at him “go back to Mexico”. My son, who was born in Colombia (which being a hispanic/LatinX country, automatically gives you Mexican nationality or at least that’s what the crazies think) but born a U.S. citizen, much like Ted Cruz’s situation, because I, his father, am a naturalized U.S. citizen, responded, “You need me, who are you going to hate if I leave, yourself”. While this a true story, his response was changed because he is a minor under the age of 14 at the time. All expletives were removed because I taught him better than that. (I was on the phone when that happened and the conversation was recorded and I’m the one that said the expletives, not him)

unicorn

A buddy asked me what I would do if I were in charge during the COVID-19 pandemic. I told him that I would have the unicorns kill the virus. He says there’s no such thing as unicorns and I tell him there’s no such thing as me being in charge either. I’ll be in charge, when there’s virus killing unicorns. I’m not even in charge of my bowel movements or dropping that landmine behind the dumpster would not have been my first choice.

K. HARRIS IS VP PICK

Kamala Harris 1

This might have been Joe Biden’s biggest triumph and not for the reasons every other person or news media says, actually it might be the reason why they say and I could be totally wrong, but what got President Trump elected, is what makes her a great candidate.Take away that she might the smartest person in the room at any time or that she is a fierce debater or that she can lead you into verbal traps like a pro boxer leads his opponent into his power punch, she is also funny. And not scripted funny but extemporaneous funny, what, I believe, got Trump elected. VP nominee Harris matches up great against VP Pence, no slouch himself. I think I am more interested in the VP debates then I am in the Presidential ones. Humor is an incredibly underrated trait, I’m not personally funny but I’m extremely humble and good looking, hahhahaha, get it, nevermind. (please don’t take me seriously, I am in no way humble, hahahaha, see what I did there, hello, is this thing on, it’s a joke…. I should have been a psychologist, people are too serious these days)

pinata

I get a phone call and the guy on the other line says “I’m going to dent your head like a pinata”. I respond “you are suppose to break pinatas” he says ” you know what I mean” I tell him “there’s candy inside. My three your old son broke the pinata on his second try. It’s like cray paper”. He says “fuck you”. I tell him “It’s basically soggy cardboard paper. If all you did is dent it then you might be a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy. Have you gotten yourself checked out.” He then hangs up, no thank you no appreciation. People are so rude, help them out and they just hang up on you.

humor

Psychologists say that humor is a tool to mask other issues. I think psychologists say that because they suck as comedians. I think humor is a great way to make a living and break the ice with a woman. Looking at back at how lucky I have been in my life, I am going to say that I was better suited to be a psychologist.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY!

movies

Being retired I spend most of my days watching TV, the most I have ever done in my life and what I discovered is that entertainment plays a crucial role in society. I am a big fan of this industry. They show us what compassion looks like, bravery, good morals and what it is to do the right thing. Their art shows the contemporary realities of today in a way that you just can’t help admire. Now I know that these are fictional characters but the message being sent to the youth is important. The good guys show why it’s still cool to be a good guy. While real world realities might sometimes be different, the entertainment business gives us a lifted spirit sense of ourselves, (my mind just went blank as I was writing this). My favorites are anything that Chuck Lorre does, almost anything on CBS… Bull, NCIS, FBI… etc to blockbuster movies. I really admire these shows and movies for their excellent content of guiding and inspiring people to be better. For some reason though, I go to sleep admiring them, wake up not liking them and ten I watch them again and I admire them all over again. It seems that sometime between watching them and admiring their content and waking up, there is somekind of transformation. Best guess is I go to sleep and the hypno movie ferry comes in and gives them bad reviews and then I watch them again and I admire them all over again… until the next morning. It’s crazy. So, long story longer and weirder, I don’t know what happens to me during the night but I’m not a fan in the morning but I am in the evening and then brainwash, rinse and repeat. Some people just like creating chaos and animosity, it suits their purpose.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: UPDATE

20151008_151143
These sidewalks are not as cozy as they seem

 

I am an immigrant. I moved here as a child. I joined the military at 19 and served during the first Persian Gulf war. That war lasted all of 90 days and never saw any combat. I wanted to be a fire man when I joined but they gave me a job as a Chaplain’s Assistant. I asked for reassignment as a fire safety specialist and they offered me medical records or police officer because I did not have my citizenship yet and those were the only two jobs that non citizens could get. Fire safety specialist required you to have your citizenship. Since I did not want to be cooped up in an office all day I chose to be a police officer and then to try and lateral over to Fire Safety Specialist after obtaining my citizenship (they only worked two days a week). One of my duties as a non-citizen immigrant military police officer in the Air Force was to protect Air Force One. Yep, me and my M-16 protecting AF1 (Alpha Foxtrot Oner) on the flight line when it paid our base a visit but for some reason they didn’t want me to put out fires because of my status. I would get my citizenship a couple of years later than land my first Federal civilian job working at the VA. I would move on from there to become an agent for the DHS. While at the DHS I would mix falling asleep on the job on occasion with preventing an international murder (that’s not a typo, that would be one hell of a typo) and discovering two terrorist cells intent on creating great bodily harm and destruction. I know what you are going to say, you fell asleep at work, in my defense, there are some long boring nights and you can only fight off the sandman for so long. I will mention that one of the terrorist plots/cells that I discovered prior to it happening was pretty famous and I will give you a hint, it has to do with bombs.  Not enough, I will say that it was a festive occasion ha, ha ha or maybe I should say ho, ho, ho. I’m not going to say that I was the best employee but if they were going to give out awards for best employee, I would not have gotten it, I did fall asleep on occasion and there are other really good guys that did some spectacular work keeping us safe in the DHS, you just never hear about it. In the end though my life would turn around. I would marry an amazing woman that happened to be also a non citizen and non legal. Those troubles compounded to the point where she became a Professional in this country and I would end up being homeless and dumpster diving. It happened once when I accidentally through my keys in the garbage and that sandwich looked very inviting. Now, I went from stopping an international murder, (it isn’t as sexy as it sounds but I won’t go into the details because mainly it isn’t as sexy as it sounds) and discovered two terrorist plots, both verified by the FBI, to living on the streets of San Diego, the street pictured above, all in a span of a couple of years. This is where most people say something about mental disease and how hard it can be on a person, that’s not my case, I just pissed off the wrong people and this is my cautionary tale. A little over a year on the streets and I’m going to tell you that I would rather deal with terrorists. I have since fought my way back through pro se lawsuits and good old fashioned tax evasion to get back to where I am today, in a house that I own. OH, the best part hasn’t come up yet, but I’ll save that for another day. This was an update to my bio.

I will add one note. I haven’t a clue who I pissed off but they must have been pretty high up there and this has nothing to do with politics. Those are the only things I know (and don’t know) for sure. This story has been fact checked by the person it happened to, me, and it’s 100 percent accurate.
