Two months in…

Two months in, and the lunatics are on still the loose.

Even Trump’s supporters who voted for change, didn’t expect everything to be perfect the moment he was sworn in. But the progress so far is undeniable. In just two months, more has been accomplished than in the entire four years of the Biden-Harris debacle.

Now, these radicals are turning on their former liberal darling, Elon Musk, vandalizing his property and products. Why? Because he dared to embrace common sense, cutting waste and fraud in government.

Meanwhile, illegal border crossings have reportedly dropped by over 90%, and criminals are being sent back. This alone is a massive achievement, undoing years of damage from the previous administration.

Peace talks continue under President Donald Trump, involving both Ukraine and Russia, as well as Israel and Hamas. Within weeks of his administration taking office, a ceasefire was secured, and hostages were returned.

All of Trump’s major cabinet picks have been confirmed and are hard at work delivering on the promises he made to the American people.

After decades of unfair trade practices, where high tariffs were imposed on American goods while other nations enjoyed easy access to our markets, President Trump implemented reciprocal tariffs to level the playing field. Yet, those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome rush to defend the very countries that have been exploiting us for years, calling these fair trade measures “unjust.”

And now, after four years of stagnation, these same imbeciles are complaining that two months of real progress isn’t fast enough and that the economy hasn’t magically recovered overnight.

Perpetual stagnation

For years, I wrote about on social media how Amazon was crushing mom-and-pop businesses and growing into a monopoly. I refused to buy from them, choosing local shops or other alternatives instead.

Meanwhile, the birds chirped, the chickens clucked, as Jeff Bezos was reguarded as a Democrat.

The damage was irreversible and in some cases unrepairable. He was seen as a friend of the leftist so they didnt care and let him monopolize.

Then Jeff Bezos appeared at President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, and suddenly, a chorus of partisan driven fools decided it was time to boycott Amazon.

The left is adrift, lacking a compelling message for American citizens. Instead of reflecting on their failed policies and flawed narrative, they blame President Trump and his supporters.

Rather than understanding what the American people truly want, they attack the choices voters made, catering instead to the fringe 2%.

Rather than understanding why the majority of Americans support the policies being implemented, they instinctively oppose them, choosing resistance over reason, without a shred of conscious thought.

So, Democrats, you lost everything, the three branches of government and the governors. When a team loses, they usually analyze why, address their shortcomings, make changes and improve.

Instead, you attack the winning team and settle for creating a perpetual stalemate.

Couch potato revolutionaries.

I find it ironic that so many social media experts, who claim to have all the answers, have never run for President. But have all the credentials to consistently criticize the office.

Yet somehow, they have all the resources from traveling the world, to uncover the “real story,” and solve global issues, without ever leaving their keyboards or cellphone screens.

Earbuds in, coffee in hand, they dictate solutions to their screens, misinformed more often than not. They passionately advocate for wars they’ll never fight in, for the homeless they’ll never house, for illegal immigrants they’ll never personally support, and for foreign conflicts they won’t fund ot fight in beyond a hashtag.

They demand sacrifice, just not their own. Yet, from the comfort of their homes, they label anyone who disagrees a “Nazi,” all while enjoying the privileges of the very system they claim to despise.

Give yourselves a big pat on the back. You’ve truly made a difference, social media justice warriors.

Tribal discord exploited

Native American tribes often engaged in conflicts with one another over territory, resources, and power.

When European settlers arrived, they frequently exploited these existing rivalries to further their own interests.

By forming alliances with certain tribes and pitting them against others, European powers, such as the British, French, and Spanish, were able to weaken Native resistance and establish control over vast territories.

If the Native American tribes had united and collectively resisted the incoming invaders, the outcome of history might have been different.

This strategy of “divide and conquer” ultimately led to significant disruption of Native American societies and contributed to the European colonization of the Americas.

And so it continues…..

Pacific Palisades Fire

Today, I rode my motorcycle west on Sunset Boulevard, heading toward the fire in Pacific Palisades. It wasn’t good. On hearing my children upset because their high school was on fire, I wanted to investigate it.

Sunset Blvd heading west was empty and the two lanes heading east were bumper to bumper for miles.

As I got closer to the fires people were stopped on the side of the road snapping pictures on their smartphones.

The wind carried cinders everywhere, and thick smoke choked the roadways, making it hard to see.

As I got closer, I could feel the heat radiating. The Santa Ana winds blowing hard in a circular motion. It’s supposed to pick up speed later tonight.

There are multiple houses on fire everywhere, street after street.

I stopped and lifted my helmet’s visor for just a second, and my eyes immediately started burning. Realizing the danger, between the searing heat and the cinders falling all around, I thought of my motorcycle’s gas tank and knew it was time to leave.

I turned away and decided to make my way down to the Pacific Coast Highway.

Streets were black with smoke and it started to permeate my helmet. I kept moving east and then south and I saw my way down a familiar street I knew went to the PCH.

Once I got there police officers guided me south on the PCH. I pulled into a beach parking lot to get some fresh air into my lungs.

Once I was feeling okay, I finished my drive home. I stopped at Whole Foods to get a steak and could smell the fire on my leathers.

As I walked toward my apartment, I caught sight of the fires from the balcony walkway facing north, Mother Nature’s haunting beauty in destruction.

But for now, I’m safe.

Baby steps unraveling

Embracing change and letting go can feel daunting and terrifying, but it can also be liberating, it creates space for new growth, exploration and possibilities.

Embracing change can be time, place or your eternal clock.

Time and place aren’t major if it’s by choice, but the eternal clock is significantly embracing change.

The “eternal clock” taps into something more profound: an inherent, timeless shift that goes beyond circumstance, carrying a deeper significance.

You see the change in the mirror or in a photograph, where time is captured in a glance. You feel the change in the shift of your patience, energy and steps, in tasks once effortless, now a struggle.

Surrendering to life’s natural rhythm is an impasse. A paradox of life’s unknown.

Letting go is a profound act of embracing uncertainty. The loss of what’s familiar, even when it no longer serves us, can feel uncomfortable, destabilizing, and even debilitating.

The rawness in that space between release and renewal. The uncertainties of boredom, the slow aching pause, while waiting for what’s next.

The healing process needed before moving on. The knowing it’s not good to linger with unspoken goodbyes.

Closure is never painless, but necessary. There is no timetable, just consistency.

Remove yourself from all familiarity.

It can be unsettling, but it can also be where true transformation begins.

Release the grip to begin the journey of anew.

2012 Ford Fusion SEL

What is your all time favorite automobile?

2012 Ford Fusion SEL

After my 2006 Ford Fusion was totaled in an accident, I decided to use the insurance payout to purchase a 2012 Ford Fusion, the last model year before the body style changed.

This car was fully loaded with all the amenities one could want, and it quickly became a joy to own. Nearly 14 years and 150,000 miles later, it’s still a pleasure to drive.

Her name is Bertha, and she’s been my steadfast companion through thick and thin.

Together, we’ve shared countless memories, including a cross-country adventure from Los Angeles to Tampa, Florida, and back. Bertha isn’t just a car, she’s a symbol of resilience, comfort, and the journey itself.

My Children

Christmas 2024

Who are the biggest influences in your life?

My children.

They’re incredible people that I love to be around. Smart, intelligent individuals with common sense and a sense of humor. Individual thinkers.

Each one has their own unique perspective with a foundation in truth. They continue to teach me new ways of thinking.

Whenever I get down, all I have to do is think of them and my spirit lifts and all is all right in my world once again.

I love them unconditionally.
