My Daddy was the kind of man who believed being Daddy to 4 little girls was a really good job. He took it very seriously. He taught us to do lots of things for ourselves. We hunted and fished, camped and hiked, cooked over a fire and slept under the stars. We also went to high tea, wore dresses and frilly socks, took dance lessons and read about etiquette and learned what a gentleman looked like.

One of the things that my Daddy did that meant so much is give us all of him when he was with us or when we needed him. Even at work or when he was busy, he told his secretary to put his girls through if we called because we were a priority. He put down the newspaper or book and talked to us one on one when we asked a question or needed correction or attention. While smart phones and tablets were not a part of my childhood, Daddy did have a voice pager that more than once interrupted a board meeting with a little voice asking him to bring home milk or come home early because Sugar the dog was out again. He did not ‘turn us off or tune us out’ for his convenience. He put us before the board members, the phone call or anyone else. Boy did that make an impression.

So, in this age of digital and electronic everything, maybe Daddies need a lesson page from my Daddy’s book this Fathers Day. Your children are not an interruption or a distraction or even a post. They are little people who will be little for a very little bit of time. Take time, take a break, make sure they get all of you for the moment they need or want you and your attention. They will be big sooner than you think, and they may not need or want you then. If you make time and take time when they are little, they will certainly remember it when they are big. I know I do. I miss my Daddy every single day. I sure am glad he stored up all that time with me when we had it.

Happy Fathers Day! Don’t miss the moment…

Trump’s First 500 Days

Election Day 2016 the Dow was $19,123 and after Trump was declared the winner it began the greatest run-up ever to a high of $26,616 on 1/26/18. There was a correction, much exacerbated by media attacks and the phony Russia Collusion Investigation, but it’s rising again to $24,635 as of this writing.  The Federal Debt is still growing, but the GDP growth has increased to over $20 Trillion so the ratio of Debt to GDP has been reduced slightly. Even with the much needed Tax Cuts, Federal tax revenues have increased due to more jobs, more people paying taxes, and increased economic activity. The Budget Deficit/GDP ratio has been reduced from 9.3% in 2010 to 3.8%, still way too high, but at least headed in the right direction. The Fe(de)ral Debt has actually gone DOWN $36 Billion in the last 2 months! Even with greater spending to rebuild and up-date our military, the Deficit Ratio is less than under Obama. Also the Fed Interest has gone up 1% since the election or about $200 Billion added to the Debt. (The Swamp kept it very low for 8 years of Obama. The GDP growth is expected to reach 4.8% in the Second Quarter. It was about 1.5% average for the Obama Administration, and the Media Pundits said it would never reach 3% again. Certainly not under Hillary or any Liberal Democrat.

Jobs are being created in record numbers. Unemployment is at record lows for Blacks, Hispanics, Women, & Teens, and overall less than 4%, a low rate only reached 7 times since the 1970s. This is creating records for Federal Tax Revenue collections, even with the Tax Cuts. Some 24,000 Federal jobs have been eliminated since President Trump took office, so the new jobs are Tax Payers, not Tax-consumers. Many business-strangling and anti-Property Rights Federal Regulations have been eliminated. The Keystone & Dakota pipelines were finally approved. US oil production is booming and we have become a Petroleum Exporter, instead of a hostage to our enemies. Consumer confidence is at a 17 year high as our economy rebounds from a decade of stagnation.

ISIS has been defeated in Syria and Iraq, less than 1000 fighters remain. We have withdrawn from the foolishness of the Paris Accords, and the Global Warming hysteria is abating as the “hot-cycle” of cyclical ‘Climate Change’ winds down into a moderate cooling phase. We are trying to control illegal immigration and the flood of “refugees” from countries that have people who hate us. Many Muslim countries are cracking down on violent radicals. Our President is rebuilding our industry by protecting necessary industries, bringing investment back here, and slowing terrible Trade Deficit agreements. This is causing great backlash from those that profit from cheap imports and cheap labor, but in the long run are necessary for our industry, wages, and economic security. North Korea is talking about nuclear disarmament and peace after almost 70 years of hostile secrecy. The farce of the Iran Nuclear Deal has been exposed and is over. Putin wants talks about peace and trade. If the Media and Democrats will shut up about “Russia, Russia, Russia”, it may be possible to normalize relations with them, we have similar goals in the War on Islamofascist Terror, and it is time to start cooperating on that.

Can you imagine how much real Progress could be made if the “Lib Progressives” cared enough about America and Americans to just listen to what is happening instead of “resisting” out of hand? Their “Agenda” failed, and they had a very poor candidate, so they lost. Get over it! Trump is trying to re-build America after the failure of all the International Socialist Theory failures.

The investigation by Congress is proving there was unlawful interference in the Trump Campaign by the Obama Administration. Unredacted Emails between Strzok and Lisa Page, “You get all our oconus lures approved? ;)”- ‘OConUS’ meaning “Outside Continental US” and ‘lures’ meaning “Spies and Agents Provocateurs”. This was in December 2015! They were already infiltrating the Trump Campaign to create some appearance of wrong doing, and had to get it “approved” at the highest levels! While their Propaganda Media was ridiculing Trump’s chances to even gain the GOP Nomination.  From ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ to the GPS Fusion phony ‘Dossier’ to the lying FISA Warrant applications, and the $17 Million (so far) Mueller Investigation, this has been the worst illegal unConstitutional “Black-bag & False Flag Operation” political scandal in American history. Watergate was an amateurish joke compared to this continued attack by politicized Federal bureaucracies on an opposition candidate, and even a duly elected President! There was no “collusion” by the Trump Campaign, only by criminal Democrats, and the whole “Op” has accomplished nothing but to feed the “Assassination by Accusation and Innuendo Campaign” by the Lib/Prog Media Propaganda Machine. Hopefully, by the time this newspaper is distributed the DoJ Inspector General’s first report will be out and the indictments, arrests, and real investigations into the real criminals can commence.
