A Veteran Friend Said:
Here's some ground rules for this upcoming Memorial Day weekend: 1. Don't wish me a Happy Memorial day. There is nothing happy about brave men and women dying. 2. It's not a holiday. It's a remembrance. 3. If you want to know the true meaning, visit Arlington or your local VA, not freaking Disneyland. 4. Don't tell me how great any one political power is. Tell me about Sgt. Donald Lamar Jr., Chesty Puller, George Patton, John Basilone, Kyle Carpenter, Mitchell Paige, Ira Hayes, Chris Kyle and any other heroes too numerous to name. Attend a Bell Ceremony and shed some tears. 5. Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about. I have carried the burden all too many times for my warriors who now stand their post for God. 6. Say a prayer... and then another. 7. Remember the Fallen for all the Good they did while they were here. 8. Reach out and let a Vet know you're there, we're losing too many in "peace". Last but not least “SPEAK THEIR NAMES” Please copy and paste.

He was the Soldier that Protected the Catholic Father while Building the Mission in San Francisco and the Army Base called The Presidio... and there is a Town named San Juan Bautista...

- SE SAID: I’m no expert on scrubs, but I think they are the pants and shirt that most nurses and medical assistants wear. Can’t really describe them, but that’s what I consider scrubs. But again, I’m no expert. I’ve never worked in a hospital or doctors office.
- and I Replied: It's a Mystery... I can tell instantly that a person IS wearing Scrubs... But I Can't Define What makes a Shirt STOP being Regular Clothes... and START Being Scrubs... and The Caregiver in Question Wears Regular Clothes when she is working as the Facility Manager but on the Days that she actually works as a Care Giver... She Wears Scrubs!

Years Later I Bought a Condo in a Black Neighborhood near Washington DC. There was a DEEP DISCOUNT if You Chose a Black Neighborhood. The Same Condo in Virginia cost $39,000 but in Beautiful Oxon Hill, Maryland the Price was $26,000. It Turns Out That the Peter, Paul and Mary Lyric is Accurate. "They Say that Property Values Will Go Right Down if The Family Next Door is Blue." --- I Selected the Discount. Because I Don't Care What Color My Neighbors Are. at Least I'm Not Going to PAY EXTRA For White Neighbors...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SywxNX6u_s
Of Course, Racism is Accurate... You CAN Predict Peoples Behavior by Looking at Skin Color. FOR EXAMPLE: Black Men are Better at Playing Basketball. It Would Be Absurd to Have Affirmative Action in the NBA... Help for Short People So They Could Compete with Tall People... Help for Slow Runners Who Can't Jump... So We Would Have a "Fair" Balance of Players... BUT... We Don't Do That... Because Affirmative Action is [REDACTED - FACEBOOK COMMUNITY STANDARDS]
White Man are Better at Walking on the Moon... White Men Are Better at Being President of the United States... White Men are Better at Inventing Machines... After All, Apple and Microsoft and Google and Facebook and IBM and Oracle are All Built by White Men...
In the Department of Defense, Affirmative Action is TOTALLY IGNORED in Jobs That are IMPORTANT... My First Ex-Wife Worked at The National Security Agency. The ONLY Thing They Considered Was Quality of the Applicant When They Were Hiring. They Were Totally Colorblind... AND They Were Gay Friendly because Gay People are FAMOUS for Being Excellent at Computer Science. But You Had to Be "Out of the Closet!" - People That Tried to Hide their Homosexuality were Rejected for being a Blackmail Risk. And Marijuana Smokers Were Tolerated as Long as You Told the Truth About Your Drug Use History. LIARS were Not Welcome...
If You Investigate CRIME Patters By Location in the FBI Database... You Will Find that Murders Happen More Frequently in Black Neighborhoods... There are Many REASONS Why this is True but NO ONE Disputes That It IS TRUE... That Condo I Bought was about Three Miles from "Southeast DC" - at One time the Murder Capitol of America. It was in Competition with "East Palo Alto, CA" and "The South Side of Chicago." - Remember the Song Bad Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwPRm5UMe1A
Barack Obama worked as a Community Organizer on the South Side of Chicago... No Need For a Community Organizer on Lakeshore Drive... I Read Obama's Biography and It's Great! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/88061.Dreams_from_My_Father
He had a White Mother and a Black Father Who Moved to Africa when Obama was a Child. Obama was Raised By Two White Grandparents and His Mom. In Hawaii he was Exposed to Japanese Culture and Native Hawaiian Culture. He Also Lived With His Mother's Second Husband In Indonesia...
So... In the Age Old Question of "Nature vs Nurture" ---
Genetically, Obama was 50-50 Black and White. But CULTURALLY He Had No Contact With Black People. He Was Raise With Mostly White Values...
I Had a Question While Reading That Book... WHO PAID OBAMA TO ORGANIZE THAT COMMUNITY?
When you stop to THINK About It... Who Benefits? For Example: I Would Pay a Person to Install a New Roof on my House... and I Would Pay a Person to Calculate my Income Taxes... and I Would Pay a Person to Unclog the Kitchen Sink...
But I Would Never Pay Someone to ORGANIZE A COMMUNITY! What Does That Job ACTUALLY DO?
After a Lot of Internet Research I Found the Answer. The Catholic Church... They Paid His Salary and The Rent on the Office... It's a Part of The MISSION STATEMENT of the Church to Help the Poor... Just Like Buying Desks for School Children in Africa... or Buying Food and Medicine for Poor People in Central America... THAT'S WHAT THEY DO!

Women Selected White Men to Father Their Children BY DEFAULT. The Men Available are Mostly White, Hispanic, Oriental etc etc etc... This is an Example of GENOCIDE... Years ago it was Called Eugenics... Whatever... White Genes were passed on to the Next Generation While Black Genes Were Prevented...

Great Book: House of Trump, House of Putin - Based on Interviews With KGB General Oleg Kalugin - The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia. - "the KGB had kompromat on Trump"
This Book offers the first comprehensive investigation into the decades-long relationship among Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Mafia that ultimately helped win Trump the White House.
https://www.amazon.com/House-Trump-Putin-Untold-Russian/dp/152474350X
Trump, knowingly or otherwise, may have struck a side deal with the Kremlin, Unger argues: He would secretly rat out his customers to Putin, who would allow them to keep buying Trump properties. Trump got rich. Putin got eyes on where the oligarchs had hidden their wealth. Everybody won. Thus Trump succeeded in business with Russia by what could most charitably be described as willful ignorance. Take the money. Don’t ask too many questions.
The Mystery of Donald Trump’s Secret Kremlin Ties Just Got a Lot Deeper... To anyone versed in counterintelligence, Trump’s summer 1987 inaugural visit to the Soviet Union, ostensibly to develop Moscow’s never-developed Trump Tower, looks like Ground Zero. The KGB habitually monitored visits by Western VIPs, and since Trump’s junket came by invitation of the Soviet foreign ministry, it’s certain that his trip did not escape the KGB’s attention.
KGB veterans have said as much. Oleg Kalugin, once the youngest general in the KGB and an expert on counterintelligence, confirmed to author Craig Unger “that Trump had fun with lots of girls during that trip and he was almost certain that the KGB had kompromat [compromising material] on that.” Since Kalugin spent several years in the 1980s as the deputy chief of the KGB’s office in Leningrad—a city visited by Trump in 1987—it’s safe to assume that his comment was not speculative.

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow. In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

I wonder what the Mission is for all these Crazy Wars? Obviously, It's not to defend the USA. The Military has not Defended the USA since 1945. There was a real attack on us on 9/11/2001 but the military failed to protect the country. Total Failure... So there must be some other reason we have invaded Vietnam, Nicaragua, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Is it simply to sell weapons to the Pentagon? Whenever we have a war we sell a lot of weapons, meals, tents, bandages, trucks, and airplanes... Corporations make a great profit. Soldiers die, civilians die, enemies die, but nothing is really accomplished. After all, what difference did it make who won the war in Nicaragua? None. It made a difference to the people of Nicaragua but it had no effect on life here in the USA. None of these Crazy Wars have made any difference to the people of the USA. NONE! The only military action that made any sense was the dozen men that assassinated Osama bin Laden. That was a worthwhile mission.
Therefore, It's really important to remember to NOT VOLUNTEER for the military. I saw President Trump talking at a Wounded Warrior Event today and it reminded me that all those people VOLUNTEERED to go die for nothing. OOPS, they got wounded because ___________. Fill in the blank if you know why. Was it simply because they couldn't find a civilian job and the military was hiring? Was it because they saw a John Wayne movie and got all inspired? Was it because they were easily brainwashed?
If we cut defense spending in half we could afford many wonderful things. We could prevent hunger 100%. We could pay for health care for all. We could pay for great school for all. We could pay teachers more... Not only is defense money wasted but people's lives are wasted also. The engineers that invented drone airplanes could have been designing better electric cars... BUT, they wasted their talents making drones... Most soldiers spend their entire career without once doing anything of value. What IF we hired them to rebuild our infrastructure? We have roads that need paving but no money to fund construction crews. WHAT IF WE STARTED BEING SMART?
So, what can one person DO to end Crazywar? Vote Democratic... and write to your representatives and ask them to stop funding stupid stuff. For example: You could copy and paste this message and email it to them.
While watching the stock market crash yesterday, I wondered what is a good investment now? Important question, The answer is: (~);-}

I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara...

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS - Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The USA, Not Even Once.
Ever since Victory in Japan, All of Our Wars have been Marketing to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex.
