May God Bless Our Soldiers…

We offer this man’s views – for your possible reading – and a very simple reason:

This one fellow who was born shortly after the United States entered the war against the Germans and the Japanese – and to this moment is simply in awe of what Americans did in that situation.  The men who faced the worst ever warriors and battles – the women who not only built them their needed weapons and mechanisms of delivery but raised their children and never once – never once – uttered a word of complaint or criticism.


Please God bless and care for those who gave and did what needed to be done and have mercy on us for our shameful ways of failed leadership and direction now rampant in our once wonderful land.

…and care for those who are gone.

The mess left behind

Every time we simply try to find something worthwhile to write and share we usually come back to debt – massive debt – unrepayable levels of federal debt – just think about it – TWENTY TRILLION DOLLARS – mostly coming under the worst president and congress America has ever had.  It is very difficult for “thefundamentals” to get away from this reality – and focus on something else of importance.

The mess left behind for the new congress – the new president – others can be examined – can be assessed – responsibility for it can be easily and readily attributed – it ain’t all that difficult.

JFKennedy did several good things for America.  As did his family.  Alas he did one real bad thing – his choice of VP – for obvious reasons.   LBJ is the beginning of the self decline of America but, yes folks, he’s got a lot of company.

And then along comes this guy who is a bit tough to grasp/handle/support/explain and so forth.  But what we get a kick out of are two simple facts:
1.    The people have had enough – they didn’t want another useless dope loved by the media – loved by all who are “employed” (many unnecessarily) by various and endless governmental ridiculousness across the land – and loved by those who simply struggle with an open, competitive, market based economy.
2.    So they chose a guy who never held office – just think about it – both political party’s are run by ______ who simply don’t meet what the people sought.  They are fed up with governmental nonsense as well as governmental bureaucratic nonsense as well as all the dopey governmental employees mostly who are neither needed nor able to do jobs – but some of which need to be done but also require development and competitiveness and change.   And guess what – those groups see it – recognize it – are terrified of it – and will do anything to not have to face it.
3.    ANYTHING.  WE DON’T WANT CHANGE.

We get a kick out of the media dopes – yep, 90+% of them are simply nincompoops.  Here are two facts we never hear mentioned:

1.    We all pay them – when we buy the products and services that pay them via advertising – pay them a ton of money.   Think about it folks – it’s us who support them.
2.    They are also completely out of line with the Americans who voted the new guy in office – many simply don’t have the principles – the history – the responsibilities – the experience – the work and the American values – yes, TheFundamentals – that those of us who seek change and responsibility – yep and no we don’t stick our kids and our grandkids with piles of unrepayble debt – these dopes share nary a drop of these “fundamentals.”

Donald Trump did not create this mess – those who left it – those who to this day benefit from it – simply can’t stand President Trump – and no it ain’t all that hard to figure out why.

An honest man…

…well it is at least worth reading –


This link gives you a bit of the commentary – look up some more if interested.

Hang in there Mr. President – you are situated with the rather ridiculousness of several limited predecessors.

Good luck – we all will need it.

Mr. Bob Wilmers and a bit more

Til today we had never heard of Mr. Bob Wilmers nor the journalist – Ms. Christina Rexrode who wrote this article - https://www.wsj.com/articles/he-rides-a-decrepit-bike-and-owns-a-french-vineyard-the-unconventional-world-of-bank-ceo-bob-wilmers-1492767000

Once again all we can offer is the contact above and the again very simple fundamental or our  beloved land – keep the dopey government nincompoops at arm’s length and minimization – we do not include our military in that group – and follow the law and amazing things can still happen when good people get about doing what they are good at!

And now what may even be the better part of this brief link/connection, pls go to - https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/25/fashion/weddings/christina-rexrode-and-nick-zaccardi-married.html

Will Christianity Perish in Its Birthplace?

Please read at - http://buchanan.org/blog/will-christianity-perish-birthplace-126816

Happy Easter Week



Democrat party leaders…and a bit more

Ready – let’s go:

Dick Durbin – 72 years old.  Illinois senator for 20 years.  Here are a few simple facts about (IL) –

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget office estimates the state will have a budget deficit of over $5 billion by the end of fiscal year 2017, and billions more in the years to come. The Illinois comptroller’s website shows the state has a $10 billion mountain of unpaid bills. And the General Assembly’s analysts have announced the state’s pension debt has spiked to a record $130 billion.
For many, tax hikes look like the only solution to Illinois’ fiscal woes. But tax hikes will only make things worse. Illinoisans are already burdened with some of the highest taxes in the nation, including the highest property taxes of any state.
As a result of Illinois’ dysfunction, the state is bleeding people and its tax base. Between July 2014 and July 2015, approximately 300,000 people left Illinois for good and only 200,000 moved in, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This resulted in a loss of 105,000 residents on net to other states – an all-time high for Illinois. Tax hikes will only chase more residents away.

USA debt 20 years ago –   $  5.4 TRILLION
USA debt today –                 $19.8 TRILLION
We ask you this – why would the people of IL want this clown in the senate?  Much less in the state?   (Raises an interesting question about who benefits?)   Give the dope Obama credit for not going back to IL!

Next this dope from New York City –
Chuck Schumer – 67 years old.   NY senator for 19 years.  From the NYC – here is a recent statement about the NYC financial condition -

In our latest review of the financial conditions of the 20 largest cities in the United States, New York City ranked 20th among the 20 cities. Last.
This ranking is based on Truth in Accounting’s bottom-line “Taxpayer Burden” measure, which represents each taxpayer’s share of unfunded debt. New York City has accumulated over $150 billion in bills above and beyond assets available on the balance sheet, leading to a $61,000 bill facing city taxpayers, on average.
Starting to get the picture?

Here is the dopey gal from CA –
Nancy Pelosi – 77 years old.  Been in the House since 1987 – THIRTY YEARS FOLKS!
What pray tell was USA debt thirty years ago?  See below:
$ 2.3 TRILLION
Should we go on?  Well let’s do one dope from the other party – okay?

John McCain – 80 years old.   Been in the senate for 30 years – since 1987.   Debt when he arrived – see above.

Let’s close with a very simple and basic fundamental – actually two fundamentals.
1.    None of these dopes should be able to be in office for anything near their time periods much less get paid and benefitted as they are.  Cut their pay – set very short time periods of office – no more retirement and other benefits (i.e. – encourage Americans with other skills and employment opportunities to serve and then return to their respective jobs).   Now if you doubt the need for this, read #2 below.

2.    Debt must be repaid in reasonable time periods – no longer than 20 years.  And the dopes above – no more than 12 years total combined in the House and Senate.  Yes, we know, that is still a bit too long but it is a start.

Closing comment or whatever - is this ridiculous?  Dopey?  Undoable?   No folks it's not.  It simply will not get done as long as clowns like the above can be in office - stay in office - get paid for doing so - and not be forced to follow fundamental disciplines that all good Americans follow!  We work real jobs - we repay our debt!

Mr. Trump requests our input

Yes folks – he indeed does.  TheFundamentals says – we will do it and we will let others know how to do it.  Right now.  And we sure hope they do it too!

We suggest you watch the brief (only one minute - we like this guy already) presentation by the man with the task of making our federal government wiser, cheaper and hopefully a lot better working!   And then proceed to answer* as you see fit.
  
We must say as we get back to working on our response – good for them for offering this opportunity for those of us who occasionally (yikes if only it could be reduced, huh?) get to deal with federal, state, county, local and other governmental accumulations and unfortunately sometimes just unneeded and overpaid and over benefitted “folks” – it is well past time to cut ‘em back just as in case you haven’t noticed is going on and has been going on big time in many or our providers of needed products and services.  Folks the world is changing and we – TheFundamentals – say simply – we don’t need a darn good portion of the various government stuff we pay for and who knows – this may be our best chance to get rid of it!

Now if only we could do the same to all the dopey ads on TV – huh?  BTW, have you seen the media dopes talk about this request?   Maybe even encourage our input?  HUH?

* don’t delay too much – they are closing down the input on June 12th !!
