THe GOP keeps asking me if I am Still MAGA. Here is my answer

OK, I will give you the overall opinion of his performance. I will say great on domestic policy, He has failed on Foreign policy. At this point, if there is an end to the unprovoked Ukraine war instigated by Russia, The President is losing it. His top 2 dumbheads Wittkoff and Driscoll are not qualified to do any negotiations. None of them are qualified in foreign intelligence or negotiations work. The negotiations they are searching for is a quick buck' not in any interest for the good of Ukrainian people. His son -in-law is an embarassing act of blatant nepotism. Zelinski and Ukraine will win this war with the help of Turkey, and the coalition of the willing in the EU. I know, they have changed the whole course of modern warfare beating back the corrupt,unethical massive Red Army[ Ukrainians call them ORCS.] I am an American who lives in Lithuania where they are manning their eastern border, and training everyone to fight this Communist aggression. Many groups of anti Russian Ukraininas have surfaced from all areas of society. There is a roup of women, called the "Witches of Bucha" who work full time day jobs and after work man batteries of anti drone site to shoot down Russian drones and missels. They are teachers, doctors, medics, ambulance drivers, office workers, just regular Ukrainians unwilling to lose their nation and return to life under the Russian boot. Many lost sons and husbands to the Russians, and may also have been abused by them. They will testify at Putin's war crimes trial giving eye wittness accounts of seeing Putn's army bringing in portable torture chambers, and compact cremation units to cremate all the victims creating "Plausabl Denial"of such atrocities. They are highly motivated to rid their land of all Russi and will not just hand over their nation to a criminal like Putin. Because of Trump's unwillingness to help win this war. Ukrainians have created a strong nation that is willing to stand up to Putin's war crimes. Killing civilians daily,bombing hospitals, day care centers, nursing homes and destroying food supplies and civilian infrastrudture: Water, sewage, electricity and private homes and apartments and rescue services, Raping and pillaging village upon village. Abduction children and young women. He is holding them hostage in camps in Russia and Belarus forcing them to learn Russian language, and brain washing them to believe they are not Ukrainian, but Russian. The young women are there to bear children for this EVIL system, a tactic that goes back to the Ancient Babylonian captivity against the Iaraelites. Now he is forcefully conscripting every 18 year olds in the 10% of Ukraine he barely holds old into the Red army to fight against fellow Ukrainians. This is only a partial list of the war crimes of Putin that Trump is complicit in this because the US has the power to stop him. Trump's recent insult in this war shows his lack of objectivity, ZELINSKI Is NOT THE PERSON HOLDING UP THE PEACE PROCESS;IT IS TRUMP HELPING PUTIN His concept of a BOARD of PEACE led by war criminals and thugs like Putin and Lukashenko is a slap in the face to International law and stable world order. Trump should be impeached for such a suggestion. He is tearing up NATO , the one force that has held Russia in check for 80 years. This is music to the ears of the most evil dictator on the world. Putin is Trumps Iago who I am sure is pouring these pro russian evil thugs into his head. The same thing happened to FDR at Yalta and later Truman who believed FDR gave him the OK to abandon the Atlantic Charter which was to maintain Sovereign border integrity after Hitler was defeated. The greatest US General George Patton knew the real enemy after Hitler killed himself was Stalin, he asked many times for permission to rid the world of Satalin and eliminate what he thought would be 50 years of Communist misury for the planet. He was close. IT has now turned out to be 80 years, and Trump may extend that to over 100 years. 

 The EU is finally going to act. They will sink his scab fleet of filthy oil tankers, or confiscate their cargo sell the oil and give the proceeds to Ukraine. Germany, France and even Federated States under the boot of Putin are rebelling against the Kremlin and plan to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. We already have 50.000 German troops helping this tiny country man the Eastern and Kongsberg borders. Russia will lose. Germany is now giving Z the missiles he needs that Trump refused to give him. Everything Trump has done reduces the former Power of the US, and is causing US to be disrespected and untrustworthy in many pars of the world. For almost 100 years the Russians have been a thorn in the side of the West. It has cost the US trillions, and on that point I agree with trump. EU should do more defend itself. That takes time, and because of Trumps draconian policies in this war they are moving there. However, the only solution to end and reach his goal [which is irrational and not economically sound, keeping RU as a trading partner, though going back to WWII before FDR flooded them with US weapons and the overly generous Lend Lease cash they never paid back,but used to by Stalin to create the USSR as an alleged superpower challenging the USA. They were always only worth about 1/3 of the US or UK economy. The USSR has always been built on massive lies and deceptions Which cannot be shown economically, politically, scientifically other than by propaganda deceptions and theft. POTUS Reagan called it the Evil Empire which is spot on. So, I don't know where Trump gets the idea they that they will be a great trading partner after the war. They have never honored any agreements they have signed with anyone. While Trump ignores and denigrates Germany,France, UK, Italy, Norway, Finland, Sweden who all have better economies, than Russia. Yet, Trump is denigrating and embarrassing all of them. So what is the deal with Russia? It is a shadow economy like the Vatican Bank or Global organized crime like all the drug and human traffickers? I have been MAGA since I sat in the Coffee shop in Trump Tower and watched him and Melania come down that escalator. He is blowing the chance to wipe out Russia, one of our worst US ideological enemies for over 150 years. In 1945 Stalin stole our US A-Bomb, He then had a bomb, but he did not have an aircraft to deliver it. So, then he stole several of our B29's, and imprisoned the US crews while the war was still in progress 1945 [ Does that sound like an Ally?] Does Trump not see that the elimination of the Putin Regime also hurts China and Helps US? Further, when Ukraine wins this war, the Nobel Peace Prize should go to Zelinski;not Trump, unless he comes in soon with a Hail Mary for the final touchdown against Putin. Trump is Trying to trap Zelinski in his new hairbrain scheme: "The Board of Peace" It is an obvious Catch 22 trick. If Zelinsky refuses to takt the bait, Trump will be able to affirm he was tight and it is Zelinsky holding up the Peace Process, If he joins the new Trump "Axis of Evil" he will be forced to let Russia control all of Eastern Ukraine where the minerals and industrial production exist. Trump is now wanting to bring in more evil international criminals by announcing he would work with the WEF [ World Economic Forum] to make this fiasco happen. THis is a doomsday scenario being led by the President of the United States. We must stop this insanity. Now Putin even has added several more cities south of Donbass. His new demand is to take the city of Pokrovsk [ which he cant win] all the way to the port of Odessa where all Ukrainian grain is shipped to Africa, the Middle east and other ports around the globe. This is ao sinister and evil on the part of Putin and his main supporter, You the United States of America, led by Donald J. Trump. Please write and call your Congressmen to stop this!!!!.

Retired Having Fun

Just a quick message to fellow retirees who are wishing their retirement years were the reality they had dreamed of while working.

My reflections after spending the last three months in the center of Europe:

I never thought it would happen. But I thank God that it did. When I look back on the ups and downs in my life I see that I had been in this same position earlier in life.

I had just graduated college. I got a great job working for the government. I was in a good level [GS-14] position. I had 10 years of service completed, and I could retire with 47% of my high 3 years salary at age 55. Suddenly I lost it all.
During the high earning years of my Government service my family and I had done a lot of traveling: Europe; South America; Aruba and the Caribbean Islands. Then after my sudden departure from the Government I sat and worried about what to do. My vision for the wonderful and stress free future was blurred.

Would I every have enough money to travel again? Would I be ale to retire and still have enough years left to enjoy life? My legs, it seemed, had been pulled out from me. I was about to give up.

Then, I think God intervened. Suddenly, my life began to turn around. I started a small business. Next a big company bought me out and picked me up, and I started to rise rapidly up the corporate ladder.

Within a few years, I was back on top, and earning more money than I had ever made with the Government. I had more than doubled my Federal salary. I was saving money, and building a wonderful retirement. My new company had a 401K plan that matched my savings dollar for dollar to the max Tax bracket at the time. I was back traveling, and having the things I wanted in life for me and my family.

Suddenly, I was downsized. I lost the great income I had been enjoying. I went through a very costly divorce. Everything I had earned and worked for was taken by the courts and attorneys. I said to myself. Well here is another valley in my up and down life. My life was looking like a roller coaster.

The big question I had to ask was why? Like all such questions, there really is no answer. Only God knows.

I spoke to friends and relatives.
I met a guy who told me there are thousands like me.
Then he relayed his story. He too had some ups and downs in life. He had made a lot of money over the years. Then, as soon as his company was taken over by a bigger fish, he was a target. He was over 55, making 156K a year, and he was close to retirement. The new company wanted to clean house of guys like him, so sure enough they found a way. Offer him a severance package, and make it so restrictive that he could not ever get it.
They were closing his office which was the only one in the state. He had to find another position at the same or higher pay within the company anywhere within 50 miles of his current office. No such position existed. The severance package also said that if they offered him another job [and it did not have to be in the same or similar position] if he did not take it then he would be released, and the lucrative terms of the original package would be withdrawn.
So they offered him a job handling the Year2000 or Y2K program. He was not familiar with it, and at first he refused. HR told him that if he refused, then he would be out without any severance. He pointed out that at the end of the Y2K project there would no longer be a need for this position. HR told him they would find something else, but could not promise. The offer also had some fine print saying that once he took the new position the original severance package was no longer valid.

I asked what happened. He took the Y2K project. The company told him he had done such a good job they were ending the project 4 months early because they were assured [thanks to his efforts] everything was going to work fine when the clock struck midnight 2000. So ended his career and his severance, and his big salary. He was yet another senior victim of corporate belt tightening.

Like many others, his wife left him; his kids lost interest because he was no longer giving them new cars; trips to Europe, and all the perks that spoiled rich kids enjoy. The man was helpless in the face of his loss. He wound up withdrawing into himself and drinking to forget. Recently, he died, and had only one true friend who stuck with him to the end. God at least gave him that much, and he died in the arms of his Savior- Jesus.

I feel bad that I could not help him out. But now I believe I have a service that will help people like my friend. People who have given so much in life, and feel betrayed and cheated in the "golden years" of life. I want these to really be the "golden years" for all those who have worked so hard to build, teach create, and give their lives to enrich this society. Those people deserve more than a $600.00 monthly Social Security Check, and maybe a little pension money.

Again, let me tell you that I was in the same position. I had it all; lost it all, and got some of it back again: post retirement.
