Everyday I come across events and people that allow me to reflect. I just have to do something to get these feelings and emotions off my chest. So that is why I created this blog.

I want to ask you today where is the ole GOP? They seem to me to have transformed into the ole GOC? That is the grand ole cult party! Which translates into this old fake ass president's supporters and enablers of ass kissers and ass sniffer. They seem to always have their heads stuck up his old ass trying to protect and defend all the lies and damage that he is doing to our democracy and the environment. I know that many of them have children and grandchildren and seem like they would want to protect what it has taken so long to build from this Russian agent who is making us weak both at home as well as abroad! What is the belief of the Republican Party?
The Republican Party's conservatism involves support for free-market capitalism, free enterprise, business, a strong national defense, deregulation, restrictions on labor unions, social-conservative policies, and traditional values, usually with a Christian foundation.
This is one of the sickest and vile sub-human beings I have ever seen in my lifetime here above this earth. He does not loves anyone but himself and will throw anyone under the bus to save himself. He had broken his oath of office so many times. That alone is enough to impeach and remove him from office.
What does the president swear to do in his oath?
Text. Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Jul 18, 2018 - Donald Trump, taking the presidential oath of office in 2017. ... After his joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in ... “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the ...
I know that it is up to those us that truly love this county and the world at large to defend it at any cost from those that want to destroy and to make it into something else other than what it truly is and has been. Anyone including a would-be king must be removed? We can not allow this fake ass president and his cronies to destroy what so many have given their lives and blood to create and defend. I for one will not allow this to happen on my watch. Is this fake ass president using a Putin concocted Hitler-voodoo-root bag on his supporters and followers or is it just a case of old fashion American racism?
Good Morning!!!
Baby, I am back!!!
I am back and I am ready to get my voice out here once again!!!
I want to start by saying that our country and the world at large is in grave danger as long as this fake ass president and his swamp monsters administration remain in power! Everything possible should be done to remove him from the office?
Therefore, I want to start by presenting a list of articles describing how this fake ass president govern and in by doing so place our nation in grave danger! In future blogs, I will continue to explore what I believe in other ways that this fake as president is destroying our democracy and environment.

As I sat in Eastview Church of Christ in Americus Georgia at the Funeral of my Uncle Walter Burks-my mind was a taken back as I looked around and observed my siblings, cousins and other of how we had become of age! No more the old folks said this or that! We had become those old folks that we would refer about when we were younger! As listen to some of them I reflected back to days pass I could still catch in each voice a trace each of their childhood days still in them even though we all were old senior citizens now. I said all of that to say this! Life is very short and we have to make the best of it while we have the opportunities that God afford each of us. Because in the words of many Old Deacons down on their knees delivering prayer: We are all graveyard children! We know not the day or time or hour but that day will eventually come. We must try to be ready when that Old Deaf Angel comes a calling. My Uncle's Going Home Service was not a sad one because he lived to age 97! How could you be sad about someone that lived such a full life? Many would say he lived passed God's promise and lived part of someone else time.
I want to say to all our young people to please make the best of the time that God is giving you? Please do not waste one minute of it? Life is too important! And to short! You have so many more opportunities than we had when we were young! So do make excuses for not making it to next level in life! Some of us Old Senior Citizens are still having to rescue many of you and that is sad! You need to get up off your butts and get to work?
I want to close with one of my favorites Psalms! Psalms 121!
A Song of degrees. 1I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.I will…: or, Shall I lift up mine eyes to the hills? whence should my help come? 2My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
President-elect Donald Trump and US President Barack Obama GETTY
The ever-wise Joni Mitchell once said:
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
And it's a question most of the United States of America is probably asking itself - especially following the news that President Donald Trump's approval rating was just 35 percentage points, which is the lowest held by any modern President in December of his first year in office.
The former reality TV star dismissed the data as "fake polls", of course, despite coming from credible pollsters Gallup.
But in contrast, President Obama's approval rating at the same point in Presidency was 15 points higher at 50 percent.
So, seeing as we're in the market for comparing and contrasting Trump and Obama's first years, here are nine other differences between the 44th and 45th Presidents of the United States.

1. Inauguration.
Sean Spicer may have claimed that Trump drew "the largest crowd to ever witness an inauguration, period," but all you need is a working pair of eyes to realize that this wasn't true, with Obama's crowd dwarfing that of Trump's.
Final estimates had Trump's at somewhere around 600,000, whereas Obama's in his first term totaled as many as 1.8 million.

2. Approval rating after first 100 days.
It's not just this month that Obama has out-polled Trump when it comes to approval ratings.
After the first 100 days in his first term, Obama's approval rating soared at 65 - the highest since Ronald Regan - whereas Trump scored a meager 41 - the lowest of any modern President.
3. The Women's Marches.
On 21 January, Trump was faced with millions of people protesting him around the world in The Women's Marches, in which people stood up for women's rights, LGBT+ rights, workers' rights, freedom of religion, immigration and healthcare in the wake of Trump being sworn in.
Obama was not subjected to marches on the grounds of civil liberties.
4. Golf.
During his eight years as President, Obama played golf 306 times - which led to Trump hounding him relentlessly on Twitter, which should come as no surprise.
But Trump is actually on track to smash Obama's record in just one term.
As of 12 December, Trump was confirmed to have visited a golf course 79 times.
Admittedly, he may not have played a full 18 holes each time, but he was confirmed to have at least his "some balls" on 37 of these visits.
At the same point in his Presidency, Obama had played golf a confirmed 24 times.
The Wall Street Journal also found that Trump spent one-third of his first year in office at one of his own properties, including Mar-a-Lago, his luxury club in Florida where he spent at least 40 days, along with his gold course in Bedminster, where he spent nearly another 40 days.
Trump has claimed to be "getting stuff done" at a record speed in his Presidency - and despite having minimal major legislative victories, he's certainly giving the impression of doing something.
In his first 100 days, Trump signed 29 laws compared to Obama's 14 - although Trumps came in at a total of 133 pages, compared with Obama's 1,602.
In the same time frame, Trump signed 30 executive orders, including two travel bans, while Obama signed 19 executive orders, which included no travel bans.
Obama visited nine countries during his first 100 days, whereas Trump didn't visit any.
He did get invited to the UK for a state visit in 2018, but the less said about that the better.
6. Unemployment.
Again, after his first 100 days, the United States' unemployment rate was at 4.5 percent, and it looks set to finish the year at around a similar mark, whereas the rate after Obama's first 100 days was at 8.7 percent.
( Many still believes that this is an Obama economy the Trump inherited!) https://www.factcheck.org/2017/01/what-president-trump-inherits/ Additional information added by David Laster!
But, in the interest of fairness, we should probably take into account that Obama had just inherited the worst economic crisis since The Great Depression.
7. Most liked on Twitter.
This is one that must really hurt.
Despite Trump's obvious fondness for Twitter, Obama had two of the top ten most liked tweets in 2017, whereas Trump didn't get anywhere near the top ten.
In fact, Obama's response to the Charlottesville riots was the most-liked tweet of the year with 4.6 million favorites.
Turns out people prefer messages of hope and togetherness rather than comments that inch the world closer and closer to nuclear war.
Another Gallup poll in December revealed that Obama was the man Americans admired the most in 2017, with 17 percent of those surveyed picking the 44th President, compared to 14 percent who picked Trump.
And on top of that, former First Lady Michelle Obama was number two in the list of women Americans admired the most with seven percent, behind Hillary Clinton with nine percent.
First Lady Melania managed to scrape into the top ten with one percent.
9. Thanksgiving.
Here's where you can really tell the difference between the two men and the kind of legacies they'll leave as President.
For his first Thanksgiving as the Commander in Chief, Trump spent it surrounded by family and crystal champagne glasses for a feast at Mar-a-Lago.
Obama, on the other hand, spent his with Michelle and their daughters serving food to those in need.

Here's hoping that by 2020 we'll be able to add another difference to this list - that Obama was a two-term President, and Trump managed only one.
