The Donald vs Kim Drama


Frankly, I am amazed that the US government and the government of North Korea are even talking about “talking” at all.

The 180 degree “turn about” exhibited by the North Korean leader in conjunction with and subsequent to the 2018 Olympics is truly magical. So magical in fact that it borders on being unbelievable and disingenuous at best.

The more our President beats his chest, the more the North Korean leader does the same. It would appear that they are two of a kind.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d have to assume they both were a little like the drama queens I encounter everyday in the elementary school environment … both seeking exposure and attention when the fervor concerning whatever they are doing dies down a little.

Perhaps this kind of concern regarding the drama is more telling about me as opposed to the reality of the situation at hand OR, it IS exactly what it is … “Unreal”

 All of us (including me) really do not want a nuclear conflict between our two countries. Therefore, we would  do just about anything to make that a reality … therein lies the problem.
Mr Kim’s Jong-un’s new found power and notoriety (of which he is completely aware of) puts him into a position whereby he is able to twist & turn, plus blow in the wind causing us to be effected by every move he makes.
We’ve all heard this phrase when talking about someone who appears to have the better or upper hand … “ He has us (and the world) wrapped around his little finger.”
How could he not be effected by his new power?

Once you develop the ability to be able to destroy the world and particularly us, all the sudden he becomes important and someone that we all have to listen to.
He really would have to be kind of crazy (if he's not already) to give up the nuclear weapons.

It’s highly probable that our President and the US Government will not see that happen in conjunction with any kind of peaceful negotiations.

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'...

Showdown @ the Singapore Corral

join me as I walk down fantasy lane .... Donald and Kim .... back to back .... each armed with their agreed upon single shot weapons .... They start ... Step 1, Step 2 .... Step 15 & they both turn ... a visible flash, a powerful and loud shock wave .... the winner still standing ... takes all. end of walk .... World leaders who have a beef with each other and of course on behalf of their respective countries .... simply should consider duking it out between themselves ... therefore excluding us little people from being sent to die for only God knows what. Subsequent to a Congress and President declaring war ... These leaders themselves should head out to the battlefield instead of sending young people with so much life ahead of them into harm's way. The fantasy above crosses my mind as I play with the possibility of something similar happening in Singapore, just a few short days from now ... It seems possible (not probable) that one of the two world leaders might decid...

Hopefully Roseanne Barr is Feeling the Pain

Racial Prejudice ... is alive & well. Unfortunately ... a significant portion our educational effort focusing on the elimination of the US's racial divide appears to be falling short of its goal. It's a little hard to stomach comments made by rather visible television personalities who most certainly express their hatred of those who are different based upon skin color, etc. These visible personalities have scored big in life's financial lottery, yet they offer nothing more to society in the form of behavior that uplifts us. They in fact tear us down and bury us deeper into the morass of hatred and shame. I am thankful for the fact that ABC canceled Roseanne Barr's show. By doing so, the network is vividly telling the citizens of our country, this kind of behavior and thought is not acceptable. They are telling us that personalities expressing themselves this way are NOT any longer to be tolerated. Reprisals will be swift, clear and permanent. Even in my s...
