President # 45 should feel shame

Please read my blog from 03/18/17. It's title is "Budget director Mick Muvaney opens mouth and horror falls out. The links that I used are listed below and have * in front of the link.

Nothing has changed. Programs that ensure that the weakest and poorest members of our society have food have been been cut in the budget that President # 45 is proud of.  Housing and the ability to stay warm in the winter are cut. College programs that help the poor to go to school and better them self have been cut.  Food and shelter is not an entitlement, it is a right.

The only ones that are protected are the wealthy and influential. Their taxes have been cut.  Why hasn't  President # 45 done some basic changes so the elderly and children can eat. First cut all the perks for government. Second he should pay back all the money for security spent for him and his wife staying every where but the White House and Camp David.  Stop all the extreme copying of documents when one or two is sufficient. Everyone should use their own car. The only one who needs a driver is the President and Vice-President for security.

The above and much more are just entitlements for the wealthy. Clean up your own house to cut money before your take food, medicine, and housing away from people who are almost living on the street as it is. I see why the movement has been started to send ashes and bodies to Paul Ryan, President 45, and the Vice President. If their actions causes deaths, they should see the tangible results and understand their actions have consequences..

I believe firmly if a person runs for the position of President, he should have an examination by a psychiatric expert. This must be an in depth examination. To run a nation established on the principles that the United States has, a sound mind is essential

It is a tendency for humans to be egocentric. A normal brain recognizes that this is wrong. With out thinking about it, the brain recognizes that lack of empathy is wrong and corrects itself. I see from actions in our government that this is absent. All members should have a MRI. The right supra marginal gyrus controlls this. It must be damaged. Behavioral management training will help the individuals with damage learn to care about something besides them selves.

Hitler started doing away with people who got in his way. That progressed to the " Life unworthy of Life" program. History unlearned is history that will be repeated. Freezing in the winter is OK with our government. Taking away food from the elderly, children, babies and pregnant women just floats somebodies boat in government. What is the next step? Concentration camps for those who shout this is wrong.

President Trumps effect on the elderly (60 plus)

I remember when President Trump was running for office. On 11/19/16, I wrote a blog about about a nightmare that I had.  In it, I talked about seeing a briefing room with a podium in front of the Presidential seal. A voice saying, "President Trump" as he stood in front of the seal. ( see my blog for the exact words)  I woke up in a cold sweat with heavy chest pressure. It took about a hour for the nausea and vomiting to stop.

Now that he is President it's a whole other ball game.  If I was an animal, I would be on the critically endangered species list.  Because I am not an animal, I don't count / matter to the government.

I took care of my self and child. Welfare was not an option. I was a member of a national volunteer organization that helped victims of disaster. When the news media and others took photo shots at a tornado disaster, I noticed a woman crying in what was left of her home. I held her while she cried. After about 20 minutes, I helped her with what I could. Then I plugged her into local resources. I did this freely with no pay. It was the right thing to do.

On various disasters, I helped when I could have looked the other way. One of the last disasters that I helped on was the Oklahoma City Bombing.  I still have the memory of the Blue Angels flying over in the missing man formation on the one year anniversary.

I am not writing this for a pat on the back. It's not about that. I wasn't old and I mattered. Now that I am old (60). The government thinks that I don't matter. I had a savings account and land. My child at birth was ill. I sold everything to cover expenses. They are now going to take away what little I have earned. I am disabled an currently recovering from a broken back slowly. Now, I am taking online classes on how to live off the land. Giving myself a headache try to figure out to save 5,000 dollars. I have been researching on where to buy cheap 1/2 acre plots with road access. Need a place to go when they take what little that I have. Elderly good looks won't pay the rent. No money equals no place to stay.

I would tell all those trying to exterminate those of us on the lower economic ladder to think. At one time, I was upper middle class.  Life changes. I hope you never feel the anger of knowing your country wants you to die for its economic benefit.

President Trump was on the news about his new tax cuts. Sounds wonderful but there is a big problem. There will be an increase in the budget so high that it will give people chest that are healthy. President Trump knew about this.  On 3/16/17, I blogged about President Trumps cruel Budget Plans. Then on 3/18/17,  I blogged about Budget Director Mick Mulvaney. His pan reminded me of Hitler's "Life Unworthy of Life" campaign.  On 4/25/17,  I  blogged about Senator Paul Ryan's plan to phase out Medicare.

It dawned on me slowly. President Trump has planned this for awhile. Americans have been fooled by his deceptions. Women, infants, children, elderly and disabled will cover his tax cuts. Throw the poor in on top of this. When we don't exist because his programs set up our demise, the rich will have more money to play with.

I refuse to die without at least "Squawking Loudly."

President Trump needs to grow up


This is the United States. Regardless of what any one wants including the President, each citizen has the right to express their opinion. That expression should be made without fear of reprisals. An old saying that I heard as a child comes to mind. I heard old farmers say it while discussing politics.

"If something is wrong, stand up and say so with a straight back and firm voice. Not standing up means that you are a pile of sh**. Because sh** can't stand."  President Donald J. Trump needs to grow up.  He needs to stop playing the "Blame game" and "You are not the boss of me.' If he was raised correctly, he would step up and take responsibility for his choices and actions. It is easy to say "I screwed that up. I'll do a better job." He always chooses to blame others.

Trump claims his business and personal wealth are proof that he will make a great President. The following paragraph was taken from the first link "Newsweek."

He is also pretty good at self-deception, and plain old deception. Trump is willing to claim success even when it is not there, according to his own statements. “I’m just telling you, you wouldn’t say that you're failing,” he said in a 2007 deposition when asked to explain why he would give an upbeat assessment of his business even if it was in trouble. “If somebody said, ‘How you doing?’ you're going to say you're doing good.” Perhaps such dissembling is fine in polite cocktail party conversation, but in the business world it’s called lying.

President  Trump wants to run the government like a business. Lord above, I hope not. The links below on his business failings give proof of his abilities. He needs to read the last three links. The last link is the most important. The government is set up the way it is for a reason. That way no individual or group has control.

The President represents every American and their rights.  That representation should be combined with respect. He does not. On 3/18/17, I blogged about Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney. He represents President Donald Trump's wishes on the Budget. What time machine did Trump use to pull him out of Nazi Germany's past is what I wonder.   Children, Elderly, and the disabled no longer will get assistance with food.  Money to help the  poor pay for the high cost of heating will go the way of the Do-Do.  college students trying to better themselves would not be able to do so. Trump thinks states will step up. If they could, they already would have to avoid his crap.


He cut money from programs to help the elderly,disabled and children. If adult kids could help, they would not be on their own. He put all the money into the military. Lets look at a few things that he doesn't want people to look at.  See the www.syracuse.com link below. Every day that Melania and his son Baron stay in Trump Towers it costs the city $127,000 to $146,000. When Trump is there, it costs the city 308,000 per day. The tweets below were sent to me. His Florida trips to his private White House is costing about 1 million for every day he is there. I am too tired at this moment but the reader should really research the costs of the perks their congressman and senator receive.



For the cost to taxpayers of one weekend golf trip to Mar-a-Lago (approx. 3,300,000), Trump could provide Meals on Wheels to 461,538 seniors
After this weekend (5 Mar-a-Lago trips), Trump will have spent equivalent of 2.3 million meals for needy seniors on golf trips to Florida

Budget Director Mick Mulvaney opens mouth and horror falls out


Budget Director Mick Mulvaney stated that the new budget reallocates and prioritizes funding and spending. The government doesn't care about the elderly and children. Smells too much like"Life unworthy of Life."Does Mulvaney realize that mankind swore never to go that way again? He gets more outrageous with his explanations. I wonder if he found a way to escape from Germany's past to the U.S.  PLEASE read all the links. The first link talks about how long it takes a person to starve to death.

Unfortunately this male humanoid was put in the Budget Director position by President Trump.  He doesn't think meals on wheels work. Mulvaney also believes in alternative truths or facts.  He was not taught at the knee of a parental figure that alternative truths or facts are fancy words for lies. Brown University performed a study in 2012. It found this program and others cut spending on nursing homes. Nursing homes accounts for 1/3 of Medicaid cost.

Since President Trump has not reined in this humanoid, I can only conclude Trump supports him. Trump is no longer trying to hide his opinion of the poor. Like Hitler, his actions supports Hitler's "Life unworthy of life."

"Little Don-Don" and his cruel budget calls for a new moniker

At a different time in history, President Donald Trump would have found he had a new moniker
"Trump the Cruel."This name would come from his actions. It doesn't matter if this was not his intent. His actions will have serious and life altering / ending consequences for some. When that happens, actions become cruel intentions. It's one of those grown-up things he should have learned at the knee of a parental figure. It's easy to see how he gets away with it. Budget Director Mick Mulvaney defended this cruelty with a horrendous lack of compassion. See the last paragraph.

1.     He cut "The Community Block Grant" to state and local governments. That grant is used  to fund services to poor seniors. This can only be an attempt to decrease the senior population. It is the only way some seniors eat. They put back a little to eat on the weekends. That one meal given to them is how they eat the whole day. Causing any seniors to starve is cruel and hell worthy. Only the clueless think the local states can pick up the slack. Has "Little Don-Don" ever driven by a church food give away? More working Americans are standing in line.

As a single parent, I had only $150.00 dollars a month after bills to feed my son and myself. I gave up important medication in order for my son to eat. Applied for food stamps once. My income was certainly low enough. The person in charge gave me such grief that I stood up and left after telling her "I would rather starve on my feet than get on my knees to beg." Ate a lot of beans and rice. Learned to make fry bread. Picked from the old vegetable bin and cut out the bad spots before freezing. I could do this since a small store was two blocks away. What about the elderly who can't walk or see? Bus rides are not free. Bus rides for the disabled are not free and are expensive. These will be the ones to starve without Meals-On Wheels.

2.     Aid for poor college students has been cut. How can any American get ahead if funding to help goes away? Read the fourth link. It an eye opener. Little Don-Don needs to realize how many homeless struggle to go to college. What he needs to know is how many do not get enough to eat. After the homeless and hungry go, poor students become next to be slated to go.

3.     Little "Don-Don" where is your heart? Do you know anything about real families? The Low Income Home energy Assistance Program prevents families from having to choose heating over eating." Researchers in Boston have found a 30% increase in the number of underweight infants and toddlers in the winter months compared to rest of the year."

4.    After school and summer nutrition programs are scheduled for the ax. Somebody does not care if school age children get to eat at least one meal during week in the summer. Programs to enrich their minds and show them a different aspect of life go the way of the "Doe-Doe" bird.

5.     W.I.C. is  on the chopping block. It helps pregnant women, infants, and children get their proper nutritional needs met. This prevents lasting physical and mental impairment. I had to stop work in the last trimester of pregnancy. My heart stopped working correctly. What money that I saved went to bills and 1 bag of beans and rice per month. That lasted because I only ate a little every third day. W.I.C. kept me from starving those last two months. It helped with my son's milk the first two months. I went back to work. Women in this same situation have Trump to thank for no nutrition. Are their babies and children supposed to grow and live on water?

Budget Director Mick Mulvaney stated that the new budget reallocates and prioritizes funding and spending. The government doesn't care about the elderly and children. Smells too much like"Life unworthy of Life."Does Mulvaney realize that mankind swore never to go that way again? He gets more outrageous with his explanations. I wonder if he found a way to escape from Germany's past to the U.S.  PLEASE read the second link.
