Welcome September!
1. Question – Have you ever given yourself credit for one virtue whether that be ambition, talent, intellect, charm or just plain ol d__________ness?
2. Thought – I can even forgive myself, though when I look back at various stages in my life, I groan. What an ass. What timidities. What stupidities. What indecisions and flounderings.
But then I take another look. I spent childhood and adolescence examining my conscience and finding myself in a perpetual state of sin. That was the training, the brainwashing, the conditioning and it discouraged smugness, especially among the sinning class.
Now I think it time to give myself credit for at least one virtue: doggedness. Not as glamorous as ambition or talent or intellect or charm, but still one of the things that got me through the days and nights. (Frank McCourt, Teacher Man)

AND: Too many weird stories in the news at present. I’m not exactly certain as to why….
+ The EU is telling Ireland that Apple owes Ireland billions in taxes. The EU is not a taxing agency. Ireland cut a deal with Apple. Apple is happy and Ireland is happy. Why is the EU making waves? Could the EU be concerned with a Trump victory and thus seeing a potential decrease in US corporate tax? Thus, Apple $$ parked in Ireland may return to the US? This would ‘disrupt’ EU banking a bit…and the potential windfall from an EU tax on bailing out various countries. Something to think about…
+ Why would US News and World Report report on a possibility that US Homeland Defense could possibly run the next US election? Why are we having an incumbent administration be the “over seers” of the election? Is it constitutional to have Dept of HD involved in elections?
+ What is the story with HRC’s health?
+ Have laws been broken in the Clinton Foundation? Pay for play, even within a “do-good” foundation is not permitted. Foreign money is not allowed to enter in the business arena–either for profit agents or not for profit agents–in a pay for play. The state department could not arrange seating with the Chinese Prez in exchange for donations….that is, not legally.
+ If HRC’s latest emails discussed Benghazi–to the point the State Dept wants to review and redact portions due to classified material–why is that not a news story?
+ Why does the Gov of VA want to let felons vote…when law specifically denies that privilege.
+ Where is the GOP response to these events? The GOP is proving culpable in this 0 administration. Why are they silient?
+ Trump meets with Mexico’s Prez. Why would the Mexican prez want to meet with Trump…before the election? Is he concerned Trump may win?
This stuff is simply too weird to make up. HRC is on the ropes…I still believe Trump wins big in November. I don’t look at polls….but I do look at the criminality of HRC and wonder just how a party could even permit her to run on their ticket.
