Merry Christmas...Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will.

Going to church? Wonder who...when...much less why? What is going on?

We borrowed the following from - https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christianity-continues-at-rapid-pace/

Only about one-in-three Millennials say they attend religious services at least once or twice a month. Roughly two-thirds of Millennials (64%) attend worship services a few times a year or less often, including about four-in-ten who say they seldom or never go. Indeed, there are as many Millennials who say they “never” attend religious services (22%) as there are who say they go at least once a week (22%).

Got a minute or two…………….

Is so pls read this:  https://www.wsj.com/articles/fisa-court-owes-some-answers-11576799937?mod=hp_opin_pos_2

Why do we suggest the above?  Well folks we are not going to give you our answer.   The reason we make the suggestion is simple – the answer is pretty obvious to this guy.  Is it to you?

What is occurring in America today?

Our ongoing basis for existence – thefundamentals – is fairly consistent and in normal places like our home – our neighbors homes – actually most every home – is simple fundamentals...live within your means; care for others; pay your bills; obey the laws (yes, we know, this one is getting dopey and difficult and way beyond thefundamental of good behavior coupled with individual exceptionalism) and follow the top 10 (commandments); and one more simple basic thing – every penny you borrow you MUST BE PAID BACK ON TIME IN ACCORD WITH THE BORROWING AGREEMENT!

If you’re still here, pls reread thefundamentals separated above by semicolons…and know this….most all of the many many various forms of governments in America today SIMPLY ARE NOT DOING THEM.

We the people are now beset in very simple, costly situations.  Example pls:  this old  guy avoids watching tv programs that are paying people doing athletics – not growing or building or fixing; inventing, teaching, harvesting, healing or any of the other basics that are part of being a responsible educated working responsible homo sapiens (see above semicolon examples.)

So ask your self – self what is going on (really occurring) in America today? 

And here is our answer – we didn’t read the article, we heard about on the tv that was turned on in the background while writing these few words above – https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/11/gerrit-cole-agrees-to-historic-324-million-deal-with-yankees-reports.html

Folks we sure don’t know who or what Gerrit Cole is or why he got his “324 million deal with yankees…” – what we know is these guys below did more in their brief life for America than this guy writing these few words (i.e. thefundamentals) has done.   He also knows they didn’t get paid much did they? 

 

We simply ask…what is really goin’ on in America today?

The Gilded Age...“distortion corrections”and..."oh, please"

Please watch the following - we say, "It's worth your time"

Once again, a simple question to the American voter

If you borrow money – for this reason or that – needed reasons and not so needed – is it okay to stick your kids with the DEBT – huh?

As far as this old guy can tell – based on his upbringing – his Mom and Dad – his good Brother and most all of the good women and men he has met or knows or even to this day chats a bit with – well their answer would be….are you nuts?  Of course you must repay it!   Every penny!  On time!  If you don’t, you’re a nincomPOOP!!

Got a mirror if you are an American voter?  If so, this morning take a look and ask yourself – should I keep votin’ for POOPs who don’t pay back debt?  Even better, why do I smell like POOP – huh?

It’s not just DEBT is it folks?

Pls read the following few words we borrowed from – https://www.wsj.com/articles/fedex-delivers-billions-to-the-taxman-11574294109

With the above background in mind, I urge readers to review the New York Times’s disparaging story from Nov. 17 about FedEx’s involvement in corporate tax reform and see a great example of polemics: printing selected facts, connecting unrelated events, and implying nefarious activities when there were none whatever. FedEx takes great pride in being a good corporate citizen—here and abroad—at all times.

We grasp and understand only too well how dopey #45 comes across regularly.  What we don’t get or grasp and sure don’t understand is how so many of us accept the 24/7 crap that now flows endlessly from the 435/100/9+++000,000’s (press is now at the top of the +++ list) more across this place so many gave all for?

Do you?  What is your answer to our 7 word title above?
