the Presidency

I get it. You do not care for the President of the United States. The beauty of the American experience is that THIS OPINION is OK. You have every right to express your thoughts in this regard and of course work for another outcome the next time around.

Thankfully,  we are living in a country that guarantees the freedom of expression. Most of the time we do not have to be fearful of expressing our thoughts about any election outcome.  However defective (or not) the American Presidential election system is, it is the same system that has been used for quit a few years now. The system produced our current results.

We, the American people voted in a new President. It does not take a rocket scientist to surmise that the current President is extremely hated by a good number of very vocal folks.

I do not want to debate just how powerful the office of the President truly is. But however powerful that office is, it is fairly clear that there is a concerted effort to block the President from exercising whatever powers he does have. Possibly, changing the nature of the Presidency forever. As a side note, disrupting the delicate balance of power of our system by diminishing the Presidency may not be a good thing over the long run. Just, saying.

From time to time, we joke about raising kids and telling them "Do what I say, NOT what I do", they seem to learn how to effectively follow our actions, not our words. Imagine, that? Therefore, those that have made every effort to cripple the Presidency because they loathe him, are setting a behavioral pattern that others are learning from.

The next President (could be Oprah *smile*), has a pretty rocky road to travel on.

Tables will turn and new opponents of the President will certainly perfect that which they have learned from the current brand.

My Oh My (*sad face*)

So, what do you think??? Civil discourse is a good thing.

Behavioral Modification

I have spent the last week or so being around young school age children in our local school district. Ages ranging from Prep-K up to early high school. I have to admit it's fascinating to watch how the system works in order to make these young people comply with acceptable behavior. For example ...  be quiet when they want to talk, sit still when they want to dance, study when they want to play, stand in line when they wish to wander and the biggie to say that which is acceptable to say as opposed to speaking honestly about what's in their hearts and minds. As somewhat of an outsider, I watched the enforcers take action against those who failed to comply. Amazingly enough, the students did exactly what they were told to do. BUT ...... As soon as the enforcer was gone, they became who they are ... KIDS!!! You got to love them!!!

Harley Davidson

Harley Davidson (Kansas City) announced that they are going to close their manufacturing plant sometime in 2019. I think they described it as bringing into alignment their manufacturing capacity with the harsh reality of a shrinking demand for their product. The plant costing millions of dollars to build was put into play around 1998. So we are looking at a plant that has been in Kansas City only 20 years. Plus, when they threatened to shut down the plant a few years ago, the State of Missouri and employees came up to the plate again to provide them what they needed to stay. I recall a significant investment by another GIANT corporation not too long ago in Kansas City. Interestingly enough, they secured some nice funding breaks from the city and state assisting in its construction. Millions of dollars were spent to build the facility. The local chamber participated in the ribbon cutting joyfully singing the corporations' theme song and basking in the belief that the states'...

Sex, Lies & Videotape (1989 Film Title)

Regarding the most recent Trump news & his former National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn lying to the FBI & of course getting caught …. Here is how it works in the world of transportation & this bit of information might be helpful to our future leaders, if they take the time to  read this LOL. When a driver is involved in an incident that causes damage to a company asset or to someone else’s ass(et), the driver is faced with the following decision … Report it to the company?? Or Not??? The drivers are always advised by me to report it. Now, the nature of the incident may lead to a driver’s firing, reprimand (involving retraining) or a simple incident dismissal (subject to the demand for that drivers’ services … that’s another story LOL). The point here is that the outcome is uncertain, but at least there is the strong possibility that the drivers’ job will be preserved & ALL forgiven. Now, if the driver tries to cover the incident up &/or deny ...
