READING AND THINKING ABOUT TODAYS EVENTS,

Good day to all I am a reader and listener of news and what is taking place around me.  This Blog is about my thoughts on different subjects each of them may or may not relate to the other  so with that let me get started:

The big scandal of to day is IRS, nothing new here we the taxpayer pray each year that we don't get audited.  Lets face it no matter how Congress put it, the IRS should have investigated the Tea Party's application for not-for Profits Organization one may say but it was bias maybe but it was because so many of them with the same name attached to it that brought the IRS attention to it, I agree that others should have been targeted like Carol Rove's organization accepting money under the covers of none named donator su-special in my opinion a simple yes.

I would also say that the IRS over reached by not including other Organization in their investigation lord knows there are plenty of them that are out there.  We the people know this but others ignores it.  

Let's take some of the Big Churches who collects billion of dollars, yet they have no taxes yet they participate in our public affairs by participating in Governmental affairs. This is part of the Tea Party we know this by the Evangelical stance bu what they have publicly disclosed they are under the ideal that the States are based up on the Bible therefore making the United States a Christian state, the  Tea Party thinks the same way they bring their belief , Their ideals is simply to take the Country back to a time when Whites was the dominic race of  people.

President Obama, is not the King of the United States of America he is a President which is a big difference I read every day where someone are complying about how he have not kept his promises on certain things that he promise in his speeches let's remind them that in order for him to carry out his ideals Congress must approve them.  This Congress is made up of Tea Party types, these people do not care about what their constituencies think or want most owe their allegiance to their benefactor, not the American People.  They do not care about we the people they do not love  America at all.

President Obama on war, in 2014 the Afghanistan war will be over, as he stated all wars must come to an end, my thoughts exactly as a matter of fact they should have ended with the Bush Administration in my opinion we should have not evaded Iraq or Afghanistan we should have only went after the mastermind behind the attack of 9/11 and his allies. But since we didn't after the killing and taking out certain heads of Al Qaeda we should call this way to end. Yet not take our eyes off of the terrorist groups that is out to harm America we must also monitor the activity of those here that have sympathy for the terous and they want to harm us as well homegrown terrorism is our new normal sad but it is true.    

This ends my thoughts on some of the things that are taking place on the news and the Huffington Post which I get most of my information from.  I really have more but I will save it until next time. Please give me your thoughts on todays news. Here and around the world, I am looking forward to hearing from you.

IT's NOT NEW:

Some times life begins to start and stop, nothing new just feelings of let down.  Did I ever tell you about what goes around comes around, watch how you treat or talk to others.  It is never just about you and yours others are in your life too, perhaps you don't like it but they are there what can you do?

You can choose your friends but family well it is not left up to you and they are not you same mother and father different people.  Me I hear this a lot, you allow others make a fool out of you or you can't take care of everybody.  Stop listing to others said life or what they have to say, yet in that same breath I hear I love my daughter son, there is nothing I wouldn't do for them.  Oh I have another one in raising children you have to have tough love you are to soft on them they run all over you.

Thanks for the advice, but when I need a friend (some one close to me) to talk to I have to talk to the cat :) uh let;s get on with this I have been here long enough to know that living in this world along is not possible yes there are some who may think I am all those things I just mention, but after knowing and being with me I thought you knew me by now.  guess I was wrong,

Here is another old saying, if you have two, tree or more children, don't count on one person or think to your self that he or she will be the one there for me when I need somebody that just may not be the one or none so don't count on that don't count on anyone of them listing to you if you just want to talk, ups got to go nobody want to listen what do we do as parent of adult children, even if we are busy or just don't feel like listing (you know the feelings) we stop and listen uh no don't offer any advice because you don't know anything just listen.

Our adult children dumps on us everyday, but we don't mind because to a mother we are interested in their well being now just as we did when they were babies.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if one of them sat and listing as you  rant and rave about your disappointment or happiness or just ranting to hear yourself talk and they had the time to at least interested.

I had nothing to give my children (still don't) so I gave them each a part of me, I shared myself with them I have never been selfish or self absorbed not even to those who was not friends, I was brought up during the times when a neighbor was a friend and looked out for each other.  When if you needed a place to lay your head for a couple of days your neighbor would allow you to sleep on the couch or on their back porch, I was even brought up during the times neighbors did not lock their doors as a matter of fact food was left if out for any stranger who came along and was hungry could eat.

I was bought up  to believe that once you was a mother you remain so until death due you apart.  I was raised by a single parent a mother who was not to much older than I am, she was my friend the one I could spill my heart to and we talked together long into the nights.  She have Alzheimer's now so I have no one any more,  My sister and I aren't that close, we talk but I have found that if you talk to some people just carrying on a personal conversation and it is about a spouse or a child, people takes it the wrong way.  Mom and I was able to discern what was suppose to effect the other and which was not.  We grew up  together she and I learned together cried laugh I thank God for giving her to me.

I am in the process of making sure that I can get to visit her more often I hate asking or bothering others about their cars taking me from place to place, yet some have used my car, oh it's just me I am growing  old now and I am not able to do the things that I once did like catch the bus or walk you see my best friend gave birth to me along, nobody was there at my  birth just her and me.  Which may or may not have cause me to be  born with C.P. Cerebral  palsy I am not complaining about that, it's just the way it is.

So lets talk lets go back to remembrance land and chat up a storm, I'll tell you what it is like being me and a few personal things after getting to know you and you do the same with me. Ha got to go now I am looking for that talk By for Now
@Russell It's A Family Affair, be seeing you.

WHAT WOULD A NEW AMERICA LOOK LIKE TO YOU, HERE IS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE TO ME

A New America to me would have freedom of Will, meaning that you have the will to live your life as you see fit with out judgement, the new America would not have poor rich, or middle class of people but a center everyone would be on the same leaver of life.

The New America would have disagreement of policies but not of lost of friendship.

Freedom of speech but only in disagreement with a statement, name calling or money would not  be allowed. 

My perfect America would not depend up on Nuclear, Gas Oil or Coal for our energy we would have win and solar for energy.

My perfect America would have religious right but not to the point where one is considered a sinner and not allowed to worship, worshiping should be free of judgement of other since we all sin in one way or another Judgement should be left up to our Heavenly Father and not man. 

My perfect America would not infringe up on any one's right of being

My perfect America would have jails and prisons, but instead of harsh punishment for those who did not committee homicide offence these places would punish as well as rehabilitate those who have trust passed against man. Once a completion of their sentences they would be return into society with either an Education or trade in order to have a way of obtain work, This would require the knowledge of knowing how  to return to society.

My perfect America would not continue to punish those who have trussed pass against man's laws for the rest of their lives, no employee need to know the history of any one if he or she have paid with their life (taken of their time from society) and have done what ever the laws stated he or she should do in order to repay society they served their time therefore paying back to society that which was required no record should be keep of a completion of time severed. If record are kept it should only be for the Law to obtain if necessary.

My perfect world would be a friendly environment there would not place in it for hate of ones neighbor instead there would be only love of one's neighbor disagreement but hate will not exist in my perfect America, It can really be this way accordant  to my mind set we just have to except change.

WHAT WOULD YOUR PERFECT AMERICA LOOK LIKE PLEASE RESPOND
we all have dreams of tomorrow and what it would look like to make a more perfect place to live here in America. Thanks for your thoughts.

 

Congressional Republicans Plan To Introduce Phony Fix For Their Debt Ceiling Mess

Congressional Republicans Plan To Introduce Phony Fix For Their Debt Ceiling Mess: pPresident Obama has pledged not to negotiate over the raising of the debt limit.
