Republican Representatives & Senators

Rep. Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes will probably go down in history as the biggest defenders of Pres. Donald Trump in the House of Representative as will Senators Lindsey Graham and John Neely Kennedy. These four are the loudest supporters spouting old debunked conspiracy falsehoods pushed by the Russian government.

The Senate Intelligence Committee headed by the Republican chairman, Richard Burr, has upheld the finds of the USA's Intelligence  that Russia interfered with our 2016 elections and the Ukraine did not. Understand this the Senate Republican Intelligence Committee supports the findings of our Intelligence departments that the House Republicans and Senate Republicans say is wrong thereby supporting Trump and the big lie.

President Trump and his supporters are attempting to break down our Government while seeming to uphold the Russian theories and by doing this making us weaker and the Russians stronger. They just seem to be unaware of the dangerous road they are travelling on. I can't explain their motives. They are not stupid. But then again how smart can they be when their actions could lead to the fall of the USA as we know it?

Please God inspire our so called leaders to lead us on the right road to your plan of the pursuit of happiness while being free and supporting all in one union. 

 

A Letter To Nancy Pelosi

The Impeachment Inquiry has gone on for two weeks and they say they are ready to go to the articles of impeachment which will lead to the House impeaching Trump but the Senate not convicting him. All of which will let Trump claim in his fashion, a fashion of lies and bluster, that again it proves he did nothing wrong.

Apparently when the criminal has the backing of the corrupt establishment he wins every time. But I bet there is a way to beat the crook and right the wrong.

Continue the Impeachment Inquiry following all the facts including ones from Mueller's reports and new ones which are sure to pop up from tax returns and further testimony. Keep it going through 2020 never letting the Senate Republicans getting the chance to dismiss the truth and back their God named Trump.

With all the truth coming out Trump will be rejected by the American Voters and so will the Republican party giving us the citizens our country back, a country under the law which has problems but leaders that will try to solve them without destroying our freedom and way of life.

I've Never Been In Love Before

It was around September in the year 1952 when I saw my first play. "Guys And Dolls" which starred Robert Alder as Sky Masterson who listens to Sister Sarah Day sing the way she feels about falling in love. I was on a date with a very pretty girl named Dolores Hertel and I could feel the vibes going through me because I was falling in love. But as fate had it she was going out with a sailor who was at sea and really had no time for me.

However a few years later I met a very pretty Latina, Puerto Ricana named Sarita and soon I was her Sky and she was Sister Sarah and we sang it together in spirit as we fell madly in love and it lasted 50 years. Think of it madly in love in sickness and health in sexiness and not so sexy moments. We had it all and that song, that duet, became replaced because Sarita was my last love between a guy and a girl and it was replaced by "When I Fall In Love" which says it'll be forever and it is forever,  through all eternity as far as I am concerned.

By the way Robert Alder is the father of Alan Alder. AND The lyrics of that song follows in case you're interested.

When I fall in love

it will be forever
or I'll never fall in love.

In a restless world
like this is
love is ended before its begun
and too many moonlight kisses
seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.

When I give my heart
it will be completely
or I'll never give my heart (oo let me give my heart)

Strength Through Weakness Gives Wisdom

He realized that advanced age had drained many of the strengths of youth. But that is not all bad. Through the weakness of being old he gained the strength that youth denied him.

Example of the above is the very fact that as a young man he could use his physical strength to defend but usually ended up hurting the offender. Mental strength could intimidate badly leaving scars that were hard to heal. In order to win, to appear strong, others were hurt badly.

The advantage of growing older is one doesn't have to win at all costs, one can heal, take some blows letting others find the peace they need so desperately in their lives.

Those that equate losing stamina, sight and looks with doddering demented people should be taken with a grain of salt not with hurtful comments that point out that they might be too fat, self indulgent, not really as perfect as they think they are.

The failed relationships that leave people alone as a result of a life of desertion leaving a hole in their life which they may deny but they can never fill.

The parents who lose contact with their children except when they give money or shelter, they do not have to be reminded that the problems they have are larger than life and dangerous.

Living long one can learn that one doesn't have to defend ones self but one has a duty to try and heal. However, if all else fails than wisdom says to leave peacefully and pray for them always sending good karma their way.

The Mueller Report/America Betrayed

The findings are clear. Russia invaded us trying to influence our 2016 Presidential election so that Trump would win and they are still doing what they can to keep it so.

The investigation was always trying to be obstructed by Trump and of that it sure seems he is as guilty as sin especially since The Special Counsel could NOT exonerate him of any wrongdoings.  Trump refused to appear for an interview and was permitted written responses to selected questions and the report indicates he lied and was evasive in his written responses, not all of them but enough so as to make his responses not helpful to the investigation.AND if all this isn't enough the DoJ's Southern District of NY  lists Trump as an unindicted coconspiritor in their campaign finance case.

All this means that Trump is skating on thin ice of the law and could actually be a law breaker. Let that sink in, the President of this great county the United States of America, may actually be a law breaker, a crook, potentially a criminal. A trial could bring a final conclusion to all this except there is a  DoJ ruling that says a sitting President can not be indicted. So a sitting president could be a criminal who is above the law as long as he is President. The implications of that is very scary.

Those who support him are coconspiritors and I am speaking of our elected officials. Hopefully our great nation will survive despite all of them who are in it for power and wealth.

Open Letter To Mr. Mueller

I respect what you have done in your life but I must tell you that your remarks , 9 minutes, on May 29 about the Special Counsel's report leaves me befuddled.

This is not a game we are playing or some law school exercise.  We've read the report as have many others and are left with varying opinions, e,g, AG Barr, among others. What we need from you is the conclusions you have reached in plain English, not couched in lawyer speak.

Did the Trump campaign collude - not conspire- collude with Russia in interfering with our election of 2016? If you can't say one way or the other definitively  explain why you can't. Name the person(s) who obstructed you from reaching that conclusion. If we have a corrupt President who is being supported by corrupt abettors we as a nation are in dire danger. We need you to step up and be the hero you can be just by speaking truth to power which is not happening now because the report and your quick speech is couched in so much lawyerese.

By the way, just to be clear, you are not the one who decides if you will testify to Congress, they are the ones who have that authority and if they call you you must respond to it by appearing just like any other citizen must, of course classified material must be disclosed behind closed doors. You are not more special than any of us "plain" citizens, if called you must respond affirmatively.

Remember this is not a game where some allegiance to a department or group like "the blue wall of silence" is applicable.  The fate of our nation could be in your hands. Step up and do the right thing. Speak Plainly!

                                     Respectively yours, 

Gloria Bell The Movie That Exams The Problems of Being Divorced and Looking For Romance

This flick stars Julianne Moore and John Turturro two of my favorite actors. Everything I've seen them in was good because they made even good scripts better by bringing truthfulness to their roles.
However right after I viewed this production I was sure I didn't like it at all. The movie dealt with divorced couples who were at different stages of their lives and the dialogue seemed very disjointed as though they were adlibbing. The scenes seemed a little out of joint also.

However after I came home I reflected on what I saw and came to realize that the critics that liked this picture were correct in their assessment that this was a well acted excellent production I just missed the point of the whole thing.

After spending years in what might have been a good marriage or even a tolerable one being divorced causes a great shock to the system. Suddenly one's family becomes disjointed and the divorced are alone so to speak. But the baggage they bring with them is a heavy load.  The children never really let go and no matter how old or young try to enforce their will on their parents. Daughters especially never want to let go and try to impose their will on their parents.

The two stars of course meet and hook up and have great sex and seem to full a void in each one's life. However in this case Turturro's character is the weakest and he succumbs to his daughter's will and despite his profession of love he just can't cut the chord. Moore's character is kind of flaky but seems willing to give up her family for his love but not really 100% as a scene with her family at her son's birthday party shows her excluding John's character while she and her family reminisce about when they were a family in love.

The movie speaks truth to power in many ways especially to the fact it is very difficult, perhaps impossible in some cases, to be truly happy after divorce. Maybe Frank Sinatra"s song, "Love Is Better The second Time around" isn't always, maybe almost never true.

The first time around love comes without baggage or a great deal less than the second time around which makes it a lot easier to handle life and love. If you get a chance see this flick. It'll get you thinking.

Would You Vote For This Person?

Born into a privileged family which was built on stealing from the poor to give to the rich. While growing up this person was privileged by by the family buying their way into prestigious schools through deep pockets contributions and this person barely hung on through academics, just barely.

This person avoided the draft into the armed services by having false medical conditions getting medical deferments yet despite that issued criticisms of those who served heroically. Always avoiding any circumstances whereby jeopardy might have to be faced.

Living a privileged life led to a family inheritance of many millions which was used to start a business that was run like a mafia operation yet this person always found people ready to do his dastardly deeds leaving the one ordering it all unaccountable.

Finally this person ran for President of these United States but never won because this person spouted venom and hate while making profits from campaigning. The American people couldn't vote for someone like that. Could you?

This Is For You Sarita

"The Twelfth Of Never"

You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain.
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you.

Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Donald Trump Alias Harold Hill The Music Man

The Music Man is a Broadway musical later made into a movies about a con man who poses as a boys' band organizer to Midwestern rubes so that he can sell musical instruments to them convincing them he can train their kids to become good marching band musicians. The thing is he doesn't know a thing about music so he cons them into believing their children are talented so he can sell them instruments making a big profit , planning to leave as soon as he can after pocketing their money leaving their children with instruments they can't use.

Of course the musical ends on a good note because this is fiction. The problem with us living in the year 2019 we have Donald Trump, a real life con man who has conned a good portion of the United States electorate to vote him into office two years ago selling them, not instruments, but that they were living in a broken society that only he could fix. He bragged he knew more than Generals, Intelligence career men,  and foreign adversaries as well as foreign allies and of course all the politicians that ever lived including Presidents and scholars. He alluded as though it was a fact that all were dishonest, except him of course. Yes he was selling musical instruments to those who wanted to play the tune that he was singing except his plan was to have them dance to the tune while he played the songs and reaped in the profits.

It should be clear to anyone who follows USA politics that Donald Trump and his family are conning everyone except perhaps a fellow named Putin because the people who want to get to him stay in his hotels, golf clubs, and the such so that he reaps in the profits from these adventures while he lies constantly while he criticizes his intelligence officers many of which he has appointed, while still proclaiming he knows more than his Generals as he continues to play footsies with some very dangerous adversaries at the same time he seems to be wrecking alliances.

The Music Man ended on a very good note because as I mentioned previously it was fiction. I fear that reality will set in on us in the USA and the ending will not be on a good note but rather it will end discordantly except for the Trumps who will be richer and we citizens will be poorer and not a bit wiser. God Help Us!
