Putsch?

Democratic candidates frequently use the word “revolution” as a plea for votes.  “We need change”-so they clamor.   How about the fact that this nation is experiencing a revolution right now. A putsch is probably a better way to put it. First the constant lying, then the abandonment of any kind of civil discourse followed by the insults and disregard for our allies. Finally, the cozying up to the worlds most evil tyrants.  But now, using the office of the President to extract vengeance and eliminate career government employees who are seen to be “disloyal”. And folks, this is just the beginning! The precious checks and balances so elegantly constructed in the Constitution are no longer in place and the scales of justice are now unbalanced. Who is responsible fo this revolution?   TRUMP

What do you know about the Federal Reserve Board?

It is the monetary foundation and protector of our economic system. And the dollar upon which the Fed functions is the strongest vehicle for value transaction in the world. We are the only country in the world that has the advantage of the Fed. It is economic driven and guided by its authority. It’s charter is to protect the dollar and be the first line of resistance against inflation. Without the actions of the Fed our Great Recession would have been a lot worse. Now it is guiding us through these extraordinary times . It will support the Federal government as it provides support to those sections of our society that need immediate help. Don’t be persuaded by the critics. Learn the history of the Fed and how it has serviced our economy-and root for it’s participation in our crisis.

AfghanisNAM

In November, 1964 my buddies and I were invited to dinner at the home of a french family in Brest, France. We were there after being at sea during Operation Steel Pike (ref:Wikipedia).  Our frenchman host had been in the french army and had fought in Indochina.  He described his experiences in that war as brutal and unwinnable. The French were thoroughly defeated at the famous battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 and withdrew shortly after from their colony. After a lovely dinner we settled in the living room; enjoyed cognac and discussed politics. Our host finally brought up a subject that none of us knew much about; the involvement of the United States in Vietnam. He wanted to know what we knew of the conditions there and how we saw US intentions. I admitted not knowing very much about the situation other than our military role was advisory-supposedly helping the Republic of South Vietnam but that the Gulf of Tonkin incident this summer was serious. As we were saying our goodnigh...

Trump and the virus

Since I’m social distancing and because I’m 78 with COPD and because there are no live sports I find myself watching a lot of “virus” TV. I’m current with the virus updates and actions taken by our political leaders at all levels. And I switch around all the media outlets-cable, local and national networks, Facebook, YouTube and Tweeter. My sense is this virus is real, dangerous and a lot of it’s behavior is unknown. There are enough critics on all sides to point out how this country got caught with it’s pants down. But now we should be reacting like we did during the two attacks in the past-Pearl Harbor and 911. We stumbled in the beginning of both attacks but then gained our footing, unified and got to work.  Because of where we find ourselves we need a President like Roosevelt or Bush. But we have Trump.
