What snack would you eat right now?

My favorite snack is dried fruit, mangos, cranberries, banana and plantain chips. Satisfies the sweet without spiking you blood sugar.

We are hearing more of the threat language coming from the liar. If things don’t go in his favor we will have bedlam in the streets. When you believe that you have a right to tell everyone else how they will act, and that you must be treated as a God and you don’t get your way, then your followers will take to the streets and create problems.
His remarks have caused false reports that the police have reacted to in the case of the judges and others that are not pro Trump. So it may be productive to have false calls visited on Trump and his properties, family, alias and friends. Let them feel like there is a target stuck on their backs and see how long it takes to end the problem or cause it to be ramped up to the point that legal action can be taken.
He has an issue before the court to have immunity granted for the acts committed while in office. If he is granted Presidential Immunity then all Presidents have it and they should have Seal Team 6 or whoever start the process of eliminating all that stand with Trump and Trump as well. As has been stated before, “Be careful what you ask for”. If one can play the game to basically do his opponents in then the other side can as well. Great idea and we can definitely drain the swamp or fill it in with bodies, whichever.
That action would not only lead to war in the streets but the nation should just get ready to go down the tubes. I know that his request is that it only applies to him because he is after all the greatest thing since the birth of Jesus. That is another fault he has, claiming to be religious yet his actions say that he believes in and lives for only one being, himself.
It is hoped that all the pumped up MAGA dolts that have made themselves known will be on a watch list when he is denied the immunity that he is hoping for. It is also hoped that the force watching these idiots is ready to eliminate them as they enter the street and attempt to make their wishes paramount. The outcome of this call to violence needs to be the demise of those dumb enough to try and bring that violence to the street instead of keeping it in the dark recesses of their befuddled minds.
Does this seem mean and unjust? Keep in mind that the instigator of this nonsense is the same one that caused Jan 6 to take place and as yet he has shown no remorse about it and will show none over casualties of this call to violence either.
Come up with a crazy business idea.

Wouldn’t call any of my ideas crazy just overly ambitious. HHH ranch is doable but ambitious with a lot of working parts as a non profit service oriented business. My grandest idea a 300+ mile water desalination pipeline from Baja California through the Sonoran desert to Yuma Arizona that would bring water back to the desert and create countless jobs and opportunities on both sides of the Mexico boarder. Problem is it needs to be a public works project on the scale of the interstate highway system.
Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

As a child with an Army NCO father we relocated often so no priority was put on nostalgic possessions. I know sounds sad for a child but memories and experiences last far longer than a childhood woobie.

The following of a specific idiom can be looked at as a good thing or a bad thing depending on the point of view of the observer. Most people have a team, a faith or an ideal that they not only follow but will protect if anyone challenges them about those things.
Have you observed the absolute stupidity of raden fans of a sports team, or the length people go to to attend a golf tournament? One’s heroes are another item of the list of hard to change even in the face of proof that the hero is corrupt. Had a man tell me his hero was O.J. Simpson and even after admitting to his crimes this man refused to believe it. Trump is one of those icons to a great number of people that even with all his proven faults is considered worthy of loyalty.
It can be called a cult or possibly even a faith or religion, because like every major gatherer of the folk, be it Billy Graham, or Jim Jones, or Osama bin Laden or Donald Trump they were and are really good snake oil salesmen and they have a following. Were any of them beneficial to society, that is a question. Graham was considered a great faith instructor, Jim Jones was just a man with a dream that turned into a nightmare, and bin Laden was a leader that caused hell on earth to erupt. Trump is attempting to top the pot because he wants to destroy a nation and turn it into a playground for the rich at the expense of everyone else living here.
Everyone of these men had or has a following that is devoted as much as any religion. It might be argued that the 911 tragedy was the result of hate and yet the 4 men on each of those planes that were destined to destroy themselves and whoever was unlucky enough to be with them or in their path were in fact the most religious people there. Yes they were followers of Islam but that religion is force fed from birth to death without benefit of a coffee break. The use of that faith to commit to those acts is disturbing and yet we have the same type of faith being used against our democracy for the benefit of one person. That person is a self centered, egotistical spoiled child that has never been told no and does not know how to behave.
What is the benefit to the people that tell us that they are ready and willing to take up arms and kill their fellow citizens just because Trump tells them to. There is no benefit except the pat on the head like the faithful dog by the master.
If allowed to win the outcome will mean the destruction of not only our form of government but of our environment for the sake of searching for more mineral wealth. Nothing will be spared from the rape of the earth to make him richer. His days are numbered and no amount of wealth is going to bring him youth again but the object is only to die with having the most.
What is your mission?

My mission/missions for today is to get out of the hospital, ended up here due to a fall and head injury on 12/28, and to determine whether to repair my car or replace it.
Like most I have always thought missions and goal where the same but in doing more reading I liken the difference as missions are comparable to taste testing a recipe and goals as preparing and consuming that meal… let me know if I am wrong on that comparison, I did just have a head injury so I can except being wrong.

It is sickening to realize that there are people in the nation that believe that it can be improved by forcing all to live under the dictates of one group’s point of view. The Project 2025 is an agenda that needs to be stopped and dismantled all the way to its base.
Since it is set to dismantle the Constitution as it stands the entire project should be declared as treason and the leaders behind the project should be taken to court and tried. At the present time it may be difficult to find space for all that could potentially be occupying cells.
Even though this project seems to be well advertised in some circles it does not appear to be a well understood program so finding people for a jury should not be a problem at this time. How are we not looking at this and seeing it as treason is beyond reasonable or intelligent. When someone or some group is plotting against the foundation of your nation’s basis for being it surely has to constitute TREASON and dealt with accordingly.
The person behind the inception is already known to be treasonous and has been charged with multiple crimes. The other members of the political movement he is involved with seem to have very little interest in upholding our democracy or our Constitution except for the protection it provides them while they continue to undermine and defeat that same document.
If the efforts of some of the state governments is any indication of where this group is headed then it would appear that turning back the clock to a time when only Rich White Men had the vote and all others are subservient or chattel. Women have no say, have to have a man allow them to make a purchase or whatever. People of color are kept in bondage because they are considered as lesser beings and if you are never able to afford to own property you will never have a voice in any decision. Being sent to fight the wars that the rich men will start in order for them to get richer and if you are lucky to come back you may be able to get on the welfare rolls if they have not decided to put an end to public assistance all together.
As always comments always encouraged.

Leonardo da Vinci is the original “Renaissance man,” but his interest in, well, nearly everything also came with one big downside — he was a bit of a procrastinator. Compared to his artistic contemporaries, Leonardo didn’t produce nearly as many paintings, with only 20 or so — many of them still uncompleted — still around today. Instead, Leonardo was often distracted, and frequently caught doodling in his now-famous notebooks. Although Leonardo’s life is filled with remarkable accomplishments, it’s also littered with half-realized projects and unfinished masterpieces. One famous example is “The Virgin of the Rocks,” a painting that originally had a seven-month deadline, but took Leonardo 25 years to complete. Other works, such as the Sforza Horse — intended to be one of the world’s largest cast bronze statues — never saw the light of day despite years of work and planning.
His chronic perfectionism didn’t help, and Leonardo himself even lamented his lifelong inattention. According to his biographer and art historian Giorgio Vasari, Leonardo allegedly mentioned around the time of his death in 1519 “that he had offended God and mankind in not having worked at his art as he should have done.” Today, modern diagnoses of Leonardo’s behavior suggest he might have lived with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Modern biographer Walter Isaacson argues that such a diagnosis could partly explain the creative engine behind Leonardo’s eclectic genius.
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

I truly believe there’s a difference between quality versus quantity. Sometimes quality is far more important than quantity. If you can’t live along healthy, productive life, then quality is not there.
