Not Your Typical First Day of Work

Today I was watching President Trump speak, and my mind started to wonder. I began to think about the condition of this country when he took office, and then I started thinking about other messes that American Presidents have inherited over the years.

I’m telling you, when you think about some of the stuff that has gone on over the course of our country’s history, you have to laugh-it’s the humor we find in things when they’re so bad, you laugh to keep from loosing your mind.

With that, let’s go back to the presidency of Ronald Reagan and Vice President, George Bush Sr. Before Reagan was in office, America was in the post-Vietnam and post-Watergate phase. The confidence and mood of the country was teetering on the brink of disaster. While in office, Reagan and Bush dealt with sky-rocketing budget deficits, and the Wall Street scandal involving the manipulation of junk bonds.

Inheriting a mess, and dealing with one? You bet. It gets worse though. There was a banking crises going on in the eighties that was costing tax payers billions of dollars, crack-cocaine became an epidemic, and urban crime was reaching an all-time high! (No pun intended)

Let’s not forget about AIDS.

During the first two years as president, Bush Sr. saw Communism unravel in Europe, Mikhail Gorbachev’s attempt to restructure the Soviet’s economy, and the collapse or destruction of the Berlin Wall.

In 1990, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and Bush ordered Operation Desert Shield to protect the Saudi Arabian oil fields (and freedom and liberty) but probably the oil fields more. 😂🗽

I didn’t know Saddam Hussein’s role model was Joseph Stalin!? Anyway, at 3 A.M. on January 17th, 1991, Operation Desert Storm commenced and the air-strikes began! With the United Nations approval, the Untied States led the way, and we were backed by 39 other nations.

History is amazing, and it does repeat itself. I think Reagan and Bush did a pretty darn good job restoring American confidence and fixing the economy, but I was just a baby then.

Thanks for reading everyone, and the next time you change jobs, think about the crack epidemic or something. Hey, at least you’re not the president-Am I right guys. hahahalolhahaha

I’m tired, and I’ve been writing all day and night.

I’m now digressing…

Have a wonderful night, and a blessed day tomorrow!

What’s Up With You, Yahoo!?

What’s going on everyone? It’s a beautiful Saturday morning here in the state of independence, and I hope it is by you as well. I love my Yahoo email services, and I’ve been a member for a really long time, but something changed during the last five or so years.

Everyday, I get hundreds of pornographic spam emails. The emails feature nude photos of men an women trying to sell dating services through websites and webcam. Most ask for personal information and/or credit card payment. I know they’re all fake, (not the people, the services) and everyone says just mark them as spam and forward them to your spam box, but after five years, this is becoming a pain in the ass.

Blocking them doesn’t work either as I’m starting to realize some of the email addresses continue to send advertisements. I’m not upset with Yahoo, and I’m not looking to cancel my services or anything like that, but I would like to know if there’s a way of preventing the flooding of my email folders from these emails. If I didn’t check my email daily, there would probably be 1000’s of these emails.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Do you have advice or suggestions?

Thank You! Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day!

I 💙 You!

Mean People Suck

Woha! What’s going on everyone? We’ve been working really hard these past couple of days to advertise Table Seven at https://noozbuffet.com.

If you received a business card, and you don’t want it, than toss it out, but I don’t understand how some people can be so mean. You’re telling me my website sucks, and my business cards are ugly and of poor quality. That’s really personal.

Please don’t project your guilt and fear on us.

We believe in strong communities, and in order for that to be possible, the lines of communication must remain open. We’re going to continue interacting and reaching out to the public because that’s what we do.

Have A Wonderful Day Everyone.

Around the World

The government is a parliament, and the capital city is New Delhi; can you name the country? India! That’s right, officially known as the Republic of India, India is the second most populated country in South Asia. The Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Bay of Bengal are the three bodies of water that border the Southern half of the country.

The first modern humans were said to have arrived 55,000 years ago on the Indian Sub-Continent as hunter-gatherers. As of 2011, 79% of the population practiced Hinduism, 14% practiced Islam, and 2% were Christian.

Two National Symbols stick out the most, to me anyway; the Bengal Tiger, which was one of three animals, and the Lotus flower. Several years ago I read a self-healing book titled “The Lotus Effect.” The Lotus plant is remarkable because it has the ability to blossom into a beautiful flower through the harshest conditions. The Bengal Tiger is probably one of the most graceful predators in the world, and there aren’t many like it.

I’ve never been to India, but from what I hear, it’s a cool place to go. There’s the Taj-Mahal, The Agra Fort, and the Tomb of Akbar the Great. If you’re into history, the Agra Fort in Agra is the place to see. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638. In 1983, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Alright Everyone, Have a Wonderful Night!

Is It True?

I don’t know how many of you follow or watch Info Wars, but there’s a reporter who works for them, and her name is Millie Weaver. Earlier this morning she was just arrested and charged with a whole bunch of stuff, and people are wondering if the arrest is legit.

Weaver, who has a Documentary coming out called Shadow Gate, claims to have uncovered a plot involving both political parties against President Trump. So, I guess the question here is is she really getting arrested for what she’s being charged with, or is she being harassed for the plot she claims to have uncovered.

This is going to be interesting.

Respecting Neutrality

What’s up everyone? I hope you’re all enjoying your morning on this beautiful Sunday in August. It’s a little cool for the Summer, nevertheless, we’ll take it!

So, I just wanted to say, and I’m sure a lot of you know this already, but I always speak from a neutral standpoint. I do give my personal opinion on certain things, but of course, I never push my beliefs onto anyone. It’s your choice to agree or disagree with me, but either way, your opinions and feedback are always accepted. We welcome and truly enjoy the dialogue here between writers and readers. Thank you.

Have a wonderful day!

Pushing Forward With Sensitivity

I’m looking at this COVID-19 situation, of course, from a neutral standpoint as any American who’s weary about a government overreaching would. Do I think COVID-19 is a total hoax? No, but if you tell me 100,000 people just contracted it, I’m going to ask you to show me the test results. Hey, fool me once (911) shame on you, fool me twice, and well, you know the rest. It’s good the American People are protesting, resisting, and asking questions, and if you watch regular mainstream news, I suggest you watch a little alternate media too so you’re getting both sides of the story.

The bigger issue, however, is coming up. What do we do about school in the Fall? I was a substitute teacher until the district closed in March, so I’ve been directly affected by this. What about the future? I was enrolled at the local college pursuing a teaching certification in early childhood education, and the school is telling me no one is enrolling because of COVID-19. I might have to wait until the Spring. Again my plans are getting delayed, but that’s neither here nor there.

What should we do about the Fall?

Whatever we decide to do, the time is coming for us as a people to make some important decisions regarding our future, and school is just one issue. Have you ever seen that situation where there’s a check-in booth at a public place, like a park, where people tell you you’re required to make a reservation and wear a mask if you want to enter the park? Well that’s illegal. I just found out yesterday that there is no law requiring you to wear a mask. It’s your choice, and you don’t have to make a reservation to go to the park.

I think it’s absolutely disgusting how the government is turning people against each other, and that’s what’s making this situation so difficult. I’m going to try to simplify things.

We need a call for common sense, and a return to normalcy. We need to push forward without being insensitive. I’m going to tell you all something right now, we are in this mess with COVID-19 for a reason. We are being tested, and the more I think about this the more I’m realizing how difficult returning to normal is actually going to be. It’s going to require acceptance, and then it’s going to require a complete coming together, a show understanding, empathy, and common sense.

  1. The government was created by us, for us. We need to take control of the situation. The people need to take control.
  2. Acceptance. If the Coronavirus is here to stay, we need to build an immunity to it like every other virus. Like the flu, there will be casualties, and like the flu, there have been casualties. If you’re scared stay home. If you’re sick, stay home.
  3. I’m not afraid, and I know there are a lot of other men and women teachers out here who aren’t afraid. It’s time for us to open school.
  4. What do we do if we open school and everyone gets sick? Just so you know, 92% of people who contracted COVID-19, got better and lived. That’s a real statistic. You are NOT going to drop dead if you contract COVID-19.
  5. Respect one another. I know this works both ways, there are angry people lashing out and attacking people for not wearing a mask, and there are angry people lashing out and attacking people for wearing the mask. The mask is a choice! The government cannot force you to wear a mask and they cannot force medical care on you. THE GOVERNMENT ISN’T FORCING YOU TO WEAR A MASK, YOUR NEIGHBOR IS. IT’S YOUR NEIGHBOR. WE’RE POLICING EACH OTHER. THE GOVERNMENT STARTED THE MESS AND THEN BACKED OUT OF IT. There is NO LAW that says you have to wear a mask. All those signs you see on store windows are at the request of the owners. Stop blaming and using the government for why you’re power tripping.
  6. Respect one another.

As you can see, there is nothing stopping us from returning to normalcy except us. It’s up to us. Let’s go. What are we waiting for?

Can you see what’s going on here? The mask is a choice. Think about it. Oh my god, the individual growth that can be made right now is off the charts. As for the people, and the collective-it’s evolutionary.

I Know I’ve seen You Somewhere Before

There’s a gas station near my house that I visit frequently because of the convenient store on the premises. There’s also a really cool gas pump on the property. It has a unique look, but it’s one all to familiar. So whenever I visit this gas station, I stand there looking at the pump trying to remember where I’ve seen it

And then it came to me.

ROB the Nintendo Robot Buddy.
The Gas Station Pump!

How funny is that! I think it’s safe to assume the kerosene gas pump design was inspired by the 1985 Nintendo Robot. Pretty cool.
