It's Raining Stimulus Checks!

It's Raining Stimulus checks! Well, we've been having so much trouble getting the second stimulus check now we're going to get multiple stimulus checks? This is unbelievable we get this check and then a little bit later on we get another check and they're giving $2,000 to everybody? I'm thinking about the statement that says when something sounds too good to be true it usually is. So with that point, I am going to wait and see if we get these checks. Americans need the money, we definitely do we need multiple stimulus checks so people to get back up on their feet and be able to work and pay their bills and schools get back started and get on this virus. So much is needed for the American people to get back in the race again, so I really do pray that these stimulus checks do come through. Multiple stimulus checks? Congress has duped us before, we don't want to be duped again. So as an American, I going to wait and see. I'm going to hold my thoughts until I see those stimulus checks come forth for the American people and really start doing things for America like they should have been doing a long time ago. It's amazing that they only had enough money for the $600 stimulus check, so I wondered where is this money coming from for every qualifying Americans to be able to receive $2,000 checks, and even more in the future, and retroactive checks for those who missed out in the cares act? This is a promise from the new administration but will it actually happen? Just what exactly going on behind that closed door of Congress? If it’s really going to rain stimulus checks? If it does, I hope it’s a downpour!

Congress/ Take It Or Leave It Attitude

Well, we’re at a standstill now. It’s a battle of wits between the President and his Congress President Trump wants each American to have 2000 dollars to meet their needs and help stimulate the economy, while Congress thinks we Americans should settle for 600 dollars and a promise from them for more stimulus later. Are we suppose to believe them after letting them dupe us for several months with lies, saying that our stimulus package was coming. How can we trust them now. They still want to give our taxpayer money to all these programs that have nothing to do with the American people. Many think we should trust Congress, and the President should pass the bill, while others think promises are not guarantees. There have been too many lies hidden from the people. Are we still so blind not to see that Congress is not for the people, but for their own selves, writing bills that are not going to benefit our country, but others? I say no! My eyes are wide open now. Whatever happens, if they pass it and we only get 600 dollars, then it’s our own fault for not seeing what’s in front of us. We have no excuses now that it all has been revealed to the Americans what’s in this bill. We the Americans are always the last to know the real truth. The last to be thought about, or be considered when the chips are down. How many times are we going to close our eyes, and pretend all is okay, when our hearts cry for a better day, to truly experience ourselves the “American dream” that drives others to our country. These are hard times, a large stimulus is definitely needed to help us meet daily needs throughout this virus. Congress seems to have a“Take it or leave it attitude.” They think we should shut up and be happy that they are giving us $600, while they give the rest away. This is not acceptable, not for me, and I hope it’s not for you either!

Up In The Air, It’s A Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman….No, It’s Congress!

This may sound familiar. It was part of the opening for the Superman series of long ago. Superman was a mythical character that hid behind the man Clark Kent, a mild-mannered reporter who did good and helped people. His motives were always for the good of Metropolis where he lived. Our Congress has hidden their alter motives of what they were really doing by saying they were getting a stimulus package ready for the American people when in reality they were secretly fixing to give away the American people’s tax paying money to foreign countries. Millions were going to countries that don’t care for America at all. So many millions that there was nothing left for us but $600 dollars. Such a travesty. They fixed the bill with over 5 thousand pages and gave their members less than five hours to read it. They wanted them to just sign it, not read it to see what it really said or know where they really had in this bill. Well, their false Superman cape has fallen off, and we the American people know who they really are, and what they really think of us. They think we are so naive that they can push anything over, and by us, thinking that giving us scrapes will satisfy us. How sad a Congress we have, and we put them in the office to protect our welfare when in reality they are not protecting us at all, l but favoring others who will foster and benefit their seats there. So sad that lies become a part of their everyday speech. To stand in front of a television camera and openly say one thing, and mean another, and do it with a straight face. As Americans we should be upset with this Congress, they have been duping us for years and we didn’t see it until now. They want to look good in the eyes of the world, pretend to be good samaritans helping other countries when they won’t even help their own people. This just may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and opens the eyes of the American people to a sad truth. Politics is a dirty business, and we Americans need to start cleaning house!

Crumbs From The Table Of Congress!

We get Crumbs From The Table Of Congress! Well, Congress has finally passed the stimulus package bill over 5,000 pages yet only $600 has been allotted for the American people. This is a sad thing to see. They said that there was nothing left to give to the American people. Well, there was nothing left to give after they gave everything to everybody else. To the big businesses, to all kinds of different programs, and we were the last we get the scraps from the Congress table. I think it's pitiful! I was reading yesterday where is New Zealand a lady posted they got $600 a week every week until people went back to work and she wondered why America, which is a financially prosperous country cannot do that. How could they only give their pe

ople $600? Well, ma'am, I'm wondering that too. I think it's awful, that's why I think we need a new Congress we need to get rid of all of them and have a whole new Congress. I don't have faith in Congress anymore after months of false hope and so many lies to the American people. They've promised for over several months that they were going to fix the stimulus package for the American people they see people losing their homes, can’t pay their rent, and about to be thrown out of their apartments. They can't buy clothes, they can't feed their families, and school are closed because of the virus. The restaurants are closed, and then they're saying, American you can make it on $600. They have to first take care of these big big big big business that’s what’s important to them. That's what's wrong with the country we're so caught up on money, in their eyes are dollar signs, and looking good in the eyes of others who have power. They put the people last. They want to keep their position in Congress. The problem is that Congress is divided, and I don’t mean by House & Senate, but by pride. Each wanting to out show the other. Each wanting to say they are making things happen for the country. Battling like they are children in order to have their way no matter how long it takes, or how it affects the American people. And who put these people in these seats in Congress? We did. Congress is supposed to be for the people of the people, by the people. They are not for the people. They are all wanting to look good, wanting to show they have the power to govern our lives when they don’t even know how we live. Saying what’s good for us to live on and survive when they are fat and flourishing themselves, not touched by the Americans they are supposed to represent. I am very disappointed in our government I love my country but I do not love the ones that are running it. We need a definite change. Congress needs to grow up and quit acting like little children!

Merry Christmas To Everyone!

A funny little video me and hubby made to wish yo all a very Merry Christmas!!! God Bless you all!!!

Congress/ "It's Business Just Business"

Congress / “It’s Business Just Business!” iI's going to be a very poor Christmas for many families in the USA, with no gifts, or very few gifts. Many families will be going to the Salvation Army to give their children gifts the only way they can afford to do. Families can't be together for the holidays because of the Coronavirus, Congress will not suffer at all during the Christmas season. They will have a wonderful holiday. They will have plenty of food, without going to a food pantry to get their fixings for Christmas dinner. They don’t have to worry about standing in food stamp lines or running out of the necessities needed to survive during these troubled times, and no funds to buy them. They are not watching the news hoping for that stimulus check they were promised several months ago. They have their jobs (Which by the way, we pay for) Yes, for them it is “A Wonderful Life” They can go home to their families have big meals, and feel safe, tucked away from the world’s troubles, while the American people suffer and cry with their jobs taken away because they can’t work or where they work is closed because of the virus. They really have no idea how the American people feel because it’s not affecting them personally. Politics is their baby. Getting what they want and leaving the American people out in the cold with promises never being fulfilled. For months now we have been hearing this phrase “The stimulus checks are coming, the stimulus checks are coming ” Now that boat has sailed, it’s lost at sea, and like the Titanic, it has sunk. Congress is the Scrooge we see, able to alleviate the world of its ills, but too stingy to do it. Congress like Scrooge says’s “It’s business, just business.!”

Freedom Of Speech has Changed!

Freedom Of Speech Has Changed! In the USA, we are blessed with the freedom to speak our minds and our thoughts. In many countries, speech is limited and is overseen by the government. Many countries do not have the Liberties of our freedom of the press. When our forefathers wrote the Bill Of Rights, they wanted the people to be able to know what their rights were. The rights all were entitled to. This gave power to the people to change governments and other things in our country that were displeasing to them and needed to be changed. Freedom of speech brought truth and power to our world, by the people voicing their opinions. It seems to me that today freedom of speech means something totally different. It’s no longer based on the issues that are facing our country, but more on the background of people who are running for offices in our Government. Lately, all I hear on television, radio, podcast, are defamatory comments about the person. Comments that are so bad that it makes a person not want to select that candidate, which is the true intention of those who are speaking these comments. We to become judges of that person when we truly know nothing about them, except what we have been told. We hear about all the things they say their families have done, their waste of finances, their children. nothing is off-limits. I think we need to stop and think about what freedom of speech was made for, and why it was put in the “Bill of Rights. It wasn’t to tear down a person’s background, family, or self-image, but to foster change in our country to make it a better place to live. Tearing down a person’s image can only foster hate, chaos, and confusion, as we have seen too much of that lately. Let’s value our freedom of speech, but never to the point of defaming others in the eyes of a watching world. We wouldn’t like it either if those things were said about us, and others didn’t really know who we really were, but judged us by the words of others. We need to stick to the issues we’re fighting for, watch our language, and leave their families out of it!

The Old man/ All Lives Are Precious!

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem. And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet. Cranky Old Man What do you see nurses? . . .. . .What do you see? What are you thinking .. . when you're looking at me? A cranky old man, . . . . . .not very wise, Uncertain of habit .. . . . . . . .. with faraway eyes? Who dribbles his food .. . ... . . and makes no reply. When you say in a loud voice . .'I do wish you'd try!' Who seems not to notice . . .the things that you do. And forever is losing . . . . . .. . . A sock or shoe? Who, resisting or not . . . ... lets you do as you will, With bathing and feeding . . . .The long day to fill? Is that what you're thinking?. .Is that what you see? Then open your eyes, nurse .you're not looking at me. I'll tell you who I am . . . . .. As I sit here so still, As I do at your bidding, .. . . . as I eat at your will. I'm a small child of Ten . .with a father and mother, Brothers and sisters .. . . .. . who love one another A young boy of Sixteen . . . .. with wings on his feet Dreaming that soon now . . .. . . a lover he'll meet. A groom soon at Twenty . . . ..my heart gives a leap. Remembering, the vows .. .. .that I promised to keep. At Twenty-Five, now . . . . .I have young of my own. Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home. A man of Thirty . .. . . . . My young now grown fast, Bound to each other . . .. With ties that should last. At Forty, my young sons .. .have grown and are gone, But my woman is beside me . . to see I don't mourn. At Fifty, once more, .. ...Babies play 'round my knee, Again, we know children . . . . My loved one and me. Dark days are upon me . . . . My wife is now dead. I look at the future ... . . . . I shudder with dread. For my young are all rearing .. . . young of their own. And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known. I'm now an old man . . . . . . .. and nature is cruel. It's jest to make old age . . . . . . . look like a fool. The body, it crumbles .. .. . grace and vigor, depart. There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart. But inside this old carcass . A young man still dwells, And now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells I remember the joys . . . . .. . I remember the pain. And I'm loving and living . . . . . . . life over again. I think of the years, all too few . . .. gone too fast. And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last. So open your eyes, people .. . . . .. . . open and see. Not a cranky old man . Look closer . . . . see .. .. . .. .... . ME!! Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within. We will all, one day, be there, too! PLEASE SHARE THIS POEM (originally by Phyllis McCormack; adapted by Dave Griffith) The best and most beautiful things of this world can't be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart!

Our News Networks Need A Balance!

I've been thinking a lot about all that's been going on in our world today. I've been listening to the news, watching the reports on television, reading the newspaper, and listening to the radio. We hear about all the riots, anger, hatred, murders, and racism. All the news is bad, and it makes you want to run and hide that you are living in this world with such turmoil. The older people fear for their lives and are afraid of the Youth of today, the gangs, and the power they seem to have in their cities. They wonder when their lives will end, and how? will they be taken out by gangs, or will this virus kill them instead? While the youth want their voices heard and if it takes riots, and violence, then so be it. They want to let the world know who they are through many different avenues, and often gangs become that avenue. The economy is bad, jobs can’t be found, and often there is prejudice in hiring. Our world for many has come to a boiling point that spills over into violence, hurting so many others. Our Government programs have so much red tape that it’s difficult to get the help that’s needed. People are frustrated and begin to act out. There is so much good in the world, but we only hear about the bad. Good is happening all around us, if we just open our eyes and look. People, I mean people that are hurting are helping others like themselves, doing good deeds like giving food from their own cupboards, giving clothing, supporting others by opening their homes to them when they have no place else to live. But we hear very little about this, only once in a while. It’s the bad news that sells and seems to capture the world, and all these networks want to stay on top, so we hear the bad more than the good. Yes, I know the news is supposed to report what’s going on in our world, but they need a balance and report all the truly good things as well. And there are a lot of good things happening out there. A lot of good people doing good things, let’s hear about them to give hope to the world, and not so much chaos and fear!

The True Meaning Of Christmas!

The True Meaning Of Christmas Christmas Time Is almost here, for many this will be a Christmas like no other. We must stop, and really think about what the meaning of Christmas is really all about. It's about the birth of Christ, love, and compassion for others. The pandemic has caused many problems in our world today, that has affected everyone. With the holidays coming up, we see the true effect of the pandemic. Many will not be able to afford Christmas trees, or presents. Many, will have to stand in lines at places like the Salvation Army, food pantries, to just be able to survive. The pandemic has taught us one thing about the holidays, it's not the gifts or the presents that really matter, it's family. It’s getting together, laughing, talking, and sharing memories. Some family members have passed on because of the pandemic, and we truly realize their importance and value to the family now that they are gone. Children will realize their gifts are not so important when there's no food on the table, and the plate is empty. We need to really stop and reflect on the true spirit of Christmas, which is helping others and showing compassion, love. Just being together, that's Christmas. In the Bible, we read the story of Jesus’s birth, and how there was no room for him in the inn. Now, we realize how it feels to have no place to go, no room because the rent can’t be paid because there’s no work and you are laid off. But many are helping others, many are showing compassion, many are showing love, to strangers that are not of their family, during these troubled times. Many are realizing we are all in this together, and we all belong to the human race. that's the true spirit of Christmas. When we think about the movie Scrooge, we see how he was changed by dreams, flashbacks of memories of his childhood, and certain things that he didn't know truly affected him, and made him the man he was. He had to stay at school while his classmates went home to their families which secretly affected him deeply. He saw how others were suffering working for him, and he never understood until he came face to face with himself, and his mortality, and where his future was heading. Let’s remember the true spirit and meaning of Christmas. Perhaps we all need to take a little trip back in time like Scrooge did and look into other people's lives, take a peek and see how they live and may have suffered at our hands when we had the power to make their lives better. Let’s look at ourselves, and make a change this Christmas because no one should feel alone, or unloved at Christmas when we all have the power to help others in some small way. We can do this!!

Why Do You Write?

Why do You Write? That's a question every writer should ask himself. Do you write for the love of writing, for the story that's within you that has to get out, for the passion and sheer joy of just seeing your book in print? Maybe you've gone to a bookstore and you have seen books on the shelves and you looked at some of the covers and read the blurbs on the back, and have thought to yourself, I could do that. Is that what makes you want to write a book? Or perhaps you read some books and you thought they published this? I could write better than that. Is that the reason that you write? Or maybe you have something that you want to tell, something, that would benefit society and help someone else? is that a reason you write? These are questions that you should ask yourself, but in the end, the answer should always be because you have the love of writing there's a passion in you that you love to put words together and bring meaning to them and help them to reflect your feelings about the world. Or maybe show other people that they are not alone in this world, that you are suffered or going through a lot of things like they have. You must decide why you write, don't just write for the money. Some people do write for the money. They see books on the shelves, Romance Books, how-to books, fantasy books, sci-fi books, and know the famous author’s names and think they could make a lot of money like these people if they wrote a similar book. That's never the reason to write a book. Money should always be secondary, or third for writing a book. You should always write because you loved it. Write because you have the passion, a thirst that can’t be quenched until you put it down on paper. So I asked you today why do you write?

Politics, The Road To Wealth And Fame!

As I am writing this article I don't want anyone to ever think that I don't love my country. I love America I think it's the greatest country in the world and God has blessed this country so much. I would not want to live anyplace else but here. But, I don't love the politicians who are running our country. Men seek to get into politics I think in the beginning they really do want to help the American people to get their needs met and they make lots of promises to the people if they can get in office. But, something happens between the promises and when they take office. Somehow they forget the promises that they have made when they get in the midst of all the other people that are seated around them, either Senators or Representatives like themselves and they caught up in the glitz and glamour of that life and they forget the districts that they came from and the promises that they made to those people. They start to be prideful. They begin to think they are somebody important, more important than the “LittlePeople” they are representing and they want to stay there for as long as they can. They like the money, the position, the feeling of importance, and plus the people are supporting them financially too. It’s the brass ring they have been looking for and now they have it all. It seems to be a never-ending cycle where we put them in and they do nothing for us. When election time comes around again we still look for that man/or woman that we hope will do what they say they will, if not we will keep searching. Our government seems to be plagued with men & women who lose their perspective along the way and forget why they were put into office. It’s not to travel and spend the taxpayer’s money on expensive things like houses, cars, boats, mistresses, or put into their own pockets. They were put in office to serve the people, not to glorify themselves!

The Blame Game

The Blame Game! There’s a new game going around in congress, it’s called the “Blame game.” Congress has been playing this game for some time now. The people have been waiting for their second stimulus check for several months now. The American people have been waiting for what has been promised months ago when they kept saying “Stimulus is on the way” yet we haven’t got anything yet. Each is saying it’s the fault of the other. The House and the Senate can’t seem to agree on anything. One wants a large package, the other a smaller package. While we the American people still sit waiting as homes are in foreclosure, jobs are lost, people having to go to food pantries to feed their families. And the virus is hitting hard. What’s wrong here? Other countries that are not as wealthy as we have already given their citizens many checks by now, but America can’t seem to give us a second check. Congress is not suffering as the people who elected them are. They sit in their seats unaffected by it all. They still have their homes, cars, jobs. They are not feeling the hurt at all, that’s why they can’t emphasize with the American people. They need to walk a mile in our shoes to really understand. If they really understood they would have passed a stimulus bill already. We need to put the blame on them, where it really belongs. They are not concerned because it’s not them who are hurting and stop blaming individuals in congress. They are all the blame, not just one but ALL. Unless something affects us personally we will just take out time in getting something done. So sad for Americans, we put our vote and trust in these people, and they are letting us down. They seem to only want a seat in congress only for the position, popularity, and money it provides, and to look good in the eyes of the people and themselves. Shame, shame on you Congress, shame, shame on YOU!!!
