It's So Shines a Good Deed in a Weary World Thing

Dear America,

there is a right choice and a wrong choice coming up

even if your vote merely confirms the #neverhillary sentiment, a TRUMP PENCE Partnership for PRESIDENT ticket is the only choice.

Similar to the swirling positions and opinions of  the TPP agreement, the course ahead is not clear either way.  Whether the confusion comes from the lines being somewhat blurred between who's for it before they were against it, who's against it before they were for it, to compiling a long list of what if's in pros and cons, or just giving up entirely with a what difference at this point does it make attitude -- we are experiencing high anxiety.

But here's the good news of what we know -- one move will lead to another move which will lead to another move, all of which are totally unknown at this time.

It doesn't really matter to the lay person, the one just sitting back simply wanting his/her side to win -- all this back and forth, back and forth, calls for the proverbial hands up in the air with a sudden show of ambivalence...as in, just make it stop!  I beg of you...   

Eventually, the whole thing -- from who is being policy wise and messaging foolish, to who is being messaging wise and policy foolish  --  becomes so garbled and misunderstood, nobody really knows what it means once implemented or,  what it might actually do to us by way of repercussions or missteps, good, bad or indifferent.  One thing's for sure, however, and that is, from everyone's unique perspective, it's just not a straight hop across the board and you're there.  That's not even in the realm of possibility.

It's like the game of checkers, really.

At the very start, somebody makes a move; and then the other.  It is one variable after another, leading us across an ocean, in hopes of getting crowned in the making of a brand new world.  For only from there, lies the option of going forwards and backwards with the freedom of holding a wee bit more power over the other player...hello, clear and present danger.  Instantly, the game changes.  Bigly.

But it's things like this that makes a girl go catatonic ... the latest noise of making a 'new deal' for the African-American community, totally out of the blue.   It's like, c'mon Donald -- don't go all  Roosevelt, on us (take your pick).  Don't go sayin' you are planning to go big government and do the very things conservatives have been clamoring to make aright for decades!

....Government does not make any money, nor has any money, without taking the money from the people who actually make the money -- the tax payers!  Not to mention, your tactics are transparent; you are doing the very thing you scolded Hillary for doing for the last thirty years... pandering to the black community but never actually improving anything...yet.   But above all -- republicans take pride in the concept of treating all people the same, we don't cater to the needs of a few without taking care of the needs of the all in equal portion, as in conservative policy is universally good for everyone.   So the play on the table -- take it or leave it --- is either to a move to the left or to the right, which way do you really want to go?

Now, it is my belief, Trump has his heart in the right place (but who am I to know that, right).  But having said that, this girl also believes, what he really needs to do is make his moves from a true conservative mindset -- and that attribute just doesn't come naturally.  

And why is that?  Because the true nature of the Donald is neither right or wrong, black or white, he is simply a player.  He makes his moves in the moment, often flying by the seat of his pants, with an occasional gut check, maybe, of course, who wouldn't listen to the intuition first, right...  

Many times he is spot on!  Other times, he drifts a wee bit and right into a tight spot!  He thrives on the risk, the element of surprise, the making of things large and small, and the brilliance of his own masterful ideas coming to life.  It is a game to him and it is fun.  And best of all, he likes to win [that should prove to be beneficial for America in the long run...].

And notice he doesn't really stay in one place for very long (this might be a good thing, if elected president, right).  He seems to be quick to get to the next level, like any gamer.  Always, taking things up a notch, always testing how far he can go, and never really looking back with regret.  I mean, why should he?  The journey itself makes the Donald who he is.  And he is proud of himself.  And last but not least, the Donald has grandchildren, too. 

And then again, maybe what we're really talking about is the games he doesn't play....there is that. 

It scares the living daylights out of me... this thing called Trump. He is that unpredictable, indeed.  He thrives on breaking a few rules and mixing things up.  He goes by the nothing ventured, nothing gained philosophy and is still standing...move after move after move, the unknown becomes known and wealth seems to follow.

BUT GUESS WHAT?  HILLARY SCARES ME MORE!  way.

Hillary is, was, never could be -- an option.  Never.

But let me be even more clear -- anyone from the right side of the board who votes for her, or doesn't go to the polls simply because it doesn't feel right, should have their head examined. You might as well crown the entire opposition and make them king.  Having completely lost your minds, not only will you be to blame for the loss election night, but in one fell swoop, be directly tied to the making of the very conditions  for America's demise.  A vote for Hillary or against Trump paves the way for evil; rest assured, another four to eight years of the ongoing, unconscionable, unprecedented, progressive march from sea to shining sea will leave us in ruins, I kid you not.  

And the grandest of games ever played will be over for good.

A more eloquent take on where we are at, just ten days away from 300 million of us (give or take a few dead people and another cool million illegals voting...) making the most important move of our lives, can be found a hop, skip and a jump over to one of my favorite roadside posts along the world wide web.... @The Patriot Post....Alexander, How Will You Vote?

Please take the time to read it before jumping to your next big thing today...

indeed..."so shines a good deed in a weary world."

think of it this way my little game stoppers -- a vote for Trump is simply passing the test, like Charlie....tee hee

oh, we have so much time and so little to do...scratch that, reverse it...

Make it a GOOD Day, G

Dear America,

"Weldon told CNN that in addition to Gadhafi stepping down, he is proposing a cease-fire on both sides; a withdrawal of government forces from key cities; no further advances by rebel forces; a joint interim government run by Libya's current prime minister and the an opposition leader; unfettered humanitarian access; and the establishment of a parliamentary commission that would include American, Middle Eastern, European and African politicians helping to establish a new parliament in Libya."  per CNN -- referencing overtures made by Rep. Curt Weldon (ret) -- sent by the Obama Administration/NATO/UN/One Nation, y'll/what's it really matter...

but we're not meddling. we are leaving it up to the Libyan people to decide their fate.

And in other news, we not only expect to hit the debt ceiling some time in May -- envisioning a favorite scene out of Willy Wonka, picturing Charlie and Grandpa Joe's demise after drinking the "fizzy lifting drinks" (and only wishing burping will save us) --  but we also have a looming deadline fast approaching.  As expected with my juvenile imagination this morning, if only our debt and deficits could be resolved with a spin through the  "Hsawaknow" -- otherwise known as the "wonkawash" spelled backwards.

For those lost in my fantasy world today, the wonka-mobile runs on anything with carbonation and gas...

WONKA: Oh, ginger ale, ginger pop, ginger beer, beer 
bubbles, bubble-ade, bubble cola, double cola, double bubble 
burp-a-cola, and all the crazy carbonated stuff that tickles 
your nose.  Few people realize what tremendous power there 
is in one of those things.

 
After the wonka-mobile reached full intoxication...it began to spit bubbles, foam, gaseous clouds of puffiness all over...everyone (except Wonka) begins to panic...and ignoring their screams he calmly wanders off into his own little world quibbling...

WONKA: (continuous)
 AH, MEIN GLUCK NAHMST DU MIT DIR
 [MY HAPPINESS YOU TAKE WITH YOU]

It is mayhem.
Then the Hsawaknow squeezes everyone, and the entire scene, through something much like a time warp/washing machine, arriving at a place as if nothing ever happened.

[and G finding her lines courtesy of wonkadotcom...danke shein]

In our dreams.  In our dreams.

If it could only be that easy, right?  But it's not; and we gotta snap out of it right quick...

So the rebel forces are out en masse, and I'm not talking about Libya again, I'm referring to the bevy of critics lining up to punch holes in America's last great hope:  Paul Ryan's "Path to Prosperity."

With Ryan having the audacity to propose a whopping 6.2 Trillion Dollars in cuts/changes over the course of the next ten years -- he keeps right on going; chartering new territory, never seen the likes before, Ryan sets in motion demonstrable, fearless, mind blowing feats of civil service.  Shoring up America's foundation.  Recalibrating America's engine.  Reforming the more controversial entitlement and popular benefit programs.

And then, finding a cliff to dangle his feet over and sit a spell, he pops open his carton of milk and settles into his peanut butter and jelly sandwich...looking up and taking in a view that could make you speechless...deep breath... ahhhh....for a responsible fiscal future is right there!   He can almost reach out and touch it.  There is no panic in his voice; he is as calm as the morning light; go ahead critics, have at it.

I heard something really cool yesterday from Alan Simpson (not someone I normally associate myself with, but I gotta say, he is growing on me)...he said: "a critic is a product of success that's not his own."  Don't you just love that?

And don't you wonder why the president didn't just jump on board the scaffolding raised by his own Debt Commission?  He had a chance to lead this country, in very much a bi-partisan way, towards a new world and he didn't take it.  It would have been so easy for him just to accept it and move on (dot org), for not everybody was happy with it, but it worked.   It had muscle.   It had all the right stuff to forge a brand new day. But our middle of the road, spineless, gut less, reckless leader didn't take it.  why?

"In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared minds."

Louis Pasteur

Simpson also sheds light on a major crack, "...we're always talking about the couple at the kitchen table--well, here it is: For every buck we spend, we borrow forty cents. If that isn't stupid--we've got a country that is stupid, a government that is stupid, to borrow forty cents, not from your good old uncle Henry, but from the world." (another CNN story)

We are so tuned in to the world of make believe, hampered by happy trails and puppy dog tails -- with tales complete with story book endings --  we fail to recognize the ugly truth when we see it.  We don't want to. We just keep skipping along, singing a silly song in our head,

     OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DOO
     I'VE GOT A PERFECT PUZZLE FOR YOU
     OOMPA LOOMPA, DOOMPADAH DEE
     IF YOU ARE WISE YOU'LL LISTEN ME

     WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU GUZZLE DOWN SWEETS
     EATING AS MUCH AS AN ELEPHANT EATS
     WHAT ARE YOU AT GETTING TERRIBLY FAT
     WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL COME OF THAT
     I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF IT

     OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DAH
     IF YOU'RE NOT GREEDY YOU WILL GO FAR
     YOU WILL LIVE IN HAPPINESS TOO
     LIKE THE OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DO
     DOOMPADEE DOO

and step right into it.

Obama told us (congress) to act more like grown ups yesterday..."I think what they’re looking from me is the same thing that they’re looking from Speaker Boehner and Harry Reid and everybody else, and that is, is that we act like grownups, and when we are in negotiations like this, that everybody gives a little bit, compromises a little bit in order to do the people’s business."

Wonka:  I can't go on forever, and I don't really want to 
try.  So, who can I trust to run the factory when I leave 
and take care of the Oompa Loompas for me?  Not a grownup.  
A grownup would want to do everything his own way, not mine.  
That's why I decided a long time ago I had to find a child.  
A very honest, loving child to whom I can tell all my most 
precious candy making secrets.

wonka vision, isn't it fabulous?

At the rate we are going, America will be thirty trillion in debt (a.k.a. bankrupt) in ten years IF we stay on this path, chartered by the Obama Administration [and by the way, that ten years is assuming the dollar doesn't fall out of the sky within six months].  And THAT is a fact,  not memorex -- it is real.  Do the math.  Real people do it all the time...real, live people sitting around a kitchen table realizing we will go belly up into the pool of a chocolate river if we don't do something about THIS now.

We run over 200 billion in deficits each and every month -- facing an astronomical, incomprehensible, 1.65 Trillion dollars added to our national debt for this year alone. (how can making measly cuts of 61 billion be so threatening? and they're not, it's the riders added on in principle that have the left all cross-eyed and scared to death)

But back to one of my favorite critics, Pelosi responds [all deer in the headlights like, getting rather excited about things, you know]

"Is middle ground three million seniors not getting meals??!!"

And now back to Ryan, "Washington has not been telling you the truth." Whoa dude, settle down now, will ya?  That is just crazy talk.  You're on the verge of fanaticism...jumping off a cliff even...or is it taking a real, honest to goodness leap of faith into the wild blue yonder?

Flash drawkcab (that's 'backward' in Wonkish) --  picture Wonka talking to Paul Ryan, someday in the future (and don't be silly, a conversation only in our heads, mind you):

WONKA: I had to test you, Charlie [I mean, Paul].  And you passed the test.  
You won!

Make it a Good Day, G
