Trump Activated From Omnibus Bill


Art of The Deal is written by the man in The White House and I always said if you want to win on the monopoly board you have to be a better player.  Well, the play of the Omnibus Bill looked like a disaster for Trump supporters and a success for the Dems.  Come Monday so many are going to be dragging their butts in Washington wondering how they lost at a game Obama took advantage of.

This is Not a Budget!  This is an Omnibus Spending Bill which is different.  The President is directed by the Constitution to adhere to a Budget that Congress approves.  A ‘spending bill’ is not the same as the Federal Budget.  Obama spent, or didn’t spend, the money from all those Omnibus Spending Bills, on whatever he wanted to and Congress didn’t do a thing about it!  Trump has just filled is war chest from studying the art of the deal and he can allocate every dime of the Omnibus Bill to his liking.  You brilliant chess player Sir.

The Trump administration has studied this play write and has performed like no other administration leaving the opposing side like a deer in the headlights!  Also, the high-beam has been applied!  This was filed March 23rd;  In accordance with section 7058(d) of division K of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (H.R. 1625; the “Act”), I hereby designate as an emergency requirement all funding so designated by the Congress in the Act pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, for the accounts referenced in section 7058(d).

You remember during the press Omnibus announcement Pres Trump said he will never sign a Bill like this again is because come Monday the Storm is on the floor of Congress.  They're going to wish they never created such a Bill and make a resolution to never do this again!  This will improve Bill legislation, one piece of paper at a time, not thousands where no one reads them.  But the Trump administration team did and built the Bill, this is how winning is done!

Beyond The Woods


In the years of one's life, you remember that solitary walk in the woods that inspired a vision about the lessons that nature held for humankind. That unforgettable fishing trip with your father that taught you things about life you did not know.  But can you count the fingers, on one hand, the number of times you have been blinded by the light of understanding in the outdoors?


It's not that I have given life's edge a sporting chance.  I've raced dirt towering turns and rushed through tall tree lines at Byron's Motorsports Park IL.  Flew 10 ft. off the water over Lake Michigan along the shore only to have the path spill into Whitefish Bay, Wisc. and skied 10,000 ft. slopes that guided you next to a sheer drop-off along Thyans Canyon, Park City, Utah.

It's experiences like these that leave your heart pounding and breath quickened because you were so absorbed in the moment.


True to, is the sensation of a good hunting dog busting a hidden pheasant in tall grasses and having it explode into the air as though it was shot from a cannon, like mallards circling overhead blowing your favorite duck call while the dog's tail is beating against the wall of the blind in anticipation to take part in the circle of  life.


I've camped and hiked trails along the Great Smoky Mountains and been disoriented from camp only to find a stream of crystal ice-cold water flowing from a crack in the mountain to gain a gulp of confidence and clear my senses in order to find my way back.  But it was the time in going back to camp, having pheasants explode from the grass and mallards circling overhead that something clicked in the recesses of my soul helping me to understand the rhythm of all life on Earth.


These are places calculated to inspire, yet the light of inspiration comes infrequent at best.  The gift of understanding nature on those rare occasions cannot be forced, it must come to you on its own accord like pleasant dreams or true love.  So the next time you go to the edge or into the outdoors and it speaks to you, it is not because the experience owes you an explanation of what it is to be human, but a gift nature gives you when your soul is ready to absorb it.

We Just Couldn't Get Along

I'm sorry, we just couldn't get along and now I miss you.
The human race can almost be summed up as a loving bunch of hate.  Our self-centeredness keeps us divided as much as our countrie's borders.  Climbing endless ladders of being on top and sitting back counting the cash with the lust that I have more than you.  Like two kids in a sandbox (Tommy and Johnny) where Johnny won't let Tommy play with his new Tonka dump truck.  Until one day Tommy shows up with a new Tonka bulldozer and smashes Johnny's dump truck!

Yep, the saga continues with civil wars, world wars and cold wars that always seem to run hot with emotions that I really don't like you.  So we beef up our military forces, start adding more ships, planes, tanks and bombs that can wipe out cities in seconds.  Our impressive quest of more powerful and faster intercontinental missiles reaching hypersonic speeds of 3805 mph (6123.55392 km\h) which is Russia and China's technology along with the design of a cruise missile powered by a small nuclear reactor for an endless flight around the world!  That has the generals wetting their pants!

The funny thing that will happen after such nuclear annihilation is that anyone walking around for hours and you come across another human, you will be so glad to see a face.

A quote from Meteorscan:  "Scientists look for water on planets as a first step for finding possible life, but it takes much more than that for life to exist.  I suspect life is very rare out there.  In view of the sheer number of possibilities, I suspect that we are not alone - but it is unlikely that we would ever meet an alien, simply due to the laws of physics and the distances involved.

When you realize just how unlikely life is, you can't help but wonder why some people treat each other and their planet so badly!  Our planet could very well host the only life in the universe so we would do a lot better by working together to solve the bigger issues that affect us all." (end quote)

Which brings me to a point, "sometimes I envy the finality of death, the certainty." (we all die)  We're all hostiles because of self-centeredness that pushes others over the edge.  We just couldn't get along because of our war bag of hate.
