- Donald Trump:
DON'T LIKE WHAT HE STANDS FOR?
GET YOUR BUTT OUT AND VOTE
IN NOVEMBER!!! ©2016
A segment of Americans are angry. Really angry. They’re ticked off about immigration, ISIS, terrorism, and refugees. They’re also fed up with many politicians and their political correctness. They want a presidential candidate who thinks like them and tells it like it is no matter who’s offended. No doubt, Donald Trump has tapped into that anger, and he has even pandered to it.
White makes make up a good segment of Trump's angry supporters. For most of their lives, many of them relied almost exclusively on white skin to land them jobs. But the economy has changed, and these angry white males have not upgraded their skills, and they're losing out on jobs that demand more skills. They won't blame themselves, that would make too much sense. So they blame anyone who's not white for "taking their jobs."
Enter Donald Trump. He has been tapping into their raw, racist emotions. Trump has been saying out loud what many people with extreme views have been thinking. He has become the mouthpiece of the intolerant, the rude, the crude, and the extremists. Even the kkk has announced support for him. With qualities like that, Trump would be an absolute disaster for this country.
If Trump's "fans" were smart, they would insist that business stop sitting on piles of cash and start apprentice programs to help train more Americans. Businesses have thousands of unfilled jobs because they claim they cannot find people with the skills. Then train them!!This country lags far behind other Germany, England, and other countries in terms of apprenticeships.
Trump’s rhetoric has been so raw and divisive, white supremacist groups are thanking him for generating new interest in their groups. Look up the word, demagogue. It says, “A person who appeals to the emotions and prejudices of people especially in order to gain political power.” Does that sound like Trump?
Most Americans are decent, and they're not going to allow someone to bully and insult himself into the presidency.
But it is the Republicans who created this social and political Frankenstein, and the Frankenstein wannabe, Cruz. Republicans will pay a price during the presidential election for spewing so much division among the American people.
The clues are obvious about Trump’s character, or lack thereof. As Americans, we should never, ever allow the rantings of a demagogue to lead us. America’s great presidents have demonstrated intelligence, character, self-control, wisdom, and sound judgment. You don’t see those qualities in Trump.
Nearly every day, you see evidence of Trump's instability. What if your own child behaved like Trump. You would be embarrassed to say the least. So, why do Americans accept behavior in Trump they would not accept in their own children?
If Trump was president, in his mind, and in the minds of his "fans," all he would have to do is wave a wand, and POOF, ISIS would be wiped out on his first day in office. He would build a border fence and seal off America. He would tell China, North Korea,and Iran what to kiss. He would have Putin eating out of his hand.
But there’s a difference between actual reality and reality TV. Trump promises Fantasyland. But It’s all talk. Sadly, his "fans" have fallen for the hype. Their support for Trump is proof that reality TV has made many Americans dumb and dumber.
Once again, if you dislike Trump’s rhetoric, get out and vote in November.levision parlance, cancel his "show" with your VOTE!
- Late Bloomers Have Proven:
“Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number” © 2016
You often hear about children who displayed a special talent or aptitude at an early age. Blessed are those who found their life’s calling at an early age.
But most people aren’t so fortunate. Some people never find their calling. Or, if they do, they found that calling later in life. Those who find their calling later in life are called “late bloomers.”
Just as flowers don’t all bloom at the same time, neither do human beings. Moses was well into his ‘80s before God tapped him to led the Hebrews out of slavery. Jesus was born with a special purpose, as well. But Jesus did not learn of that purpose nor did he begin to act on that purpose until his early thirties.
Even today, late bloomer stories abound. It’s never too late, and you should never give up on your dreams. After all, it’s not over until God says it’s over.
HERE ARE A FEW LATE-BLOOMER STORIES:
RAY KROC, the founder of the McDonald’s empire. Kroc was in his 50s when he began that global corporation.
“Kroc started out as a small-scale entrepreneur, trying a variety of businesses and seeing what stuck. He was working as a blender salesman in 1954 when he discovered a restaurant in San Bernardino, Calif., run by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald. Kroc, who was 52 at the time, was fascinated by their quick service and limited menu, and he soon opened a franchise near his home in Illinois. The rest is history.
WES MONTGOMERY (pictured) was one of the greatest jazz guitarists who ever lived. In fact, there’s hardly a jazz guitarist living who hasn’t been influenced by his style, including George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Pat Metheny, and others. But Montgomery didn’t start playing guitar until his 20s. That’s considered late for an aspiring musician.
GEORGE FOREMAN initially won the heavyweight boxing championship in 1973 against Joe Frazier. He then lost it to Muhammad Ali. But 10 years later, Foreman came out of retirement. He won a string of fights before losing a close fight to Evander Holyfield. He retired again for two years and returned to become the oldest champion ever in any weight division in 1994. He was 45 years old. Foreman retired from boxying again, and he started a new career as spokesperson for the George Foreman Grill, and other products.
MICHAEL MASSER was a songwriter who wrote Diana Ross’ “Touch Me In The Morning,” Whitney Houston’s “Saving All My Love For You,” and many other hits. Masser initially followed what his parents wanted him to and tried law and working as a stock broker. But he wasn’t happy. He reached out to a counselor who advised him to follow his passion. His passion was writing songs, and at age 30, he began a songwriting career.
ROSA PARKS became a civil rights legend. She had always been an advocate for equality. But Ms. Parks was 42-years old when she defied segregated customs and sparked the modern civil rights movement.
If there’s a lesson to be learned, it’s that human beings are forever evolving right up until they die. But in our youth-oriented, millennial-obsessed culture, we tend to forget this. Human possibilities are endless and can be realized at any age. The lesson we all might want to remember is, “Age ain’t nothing but a number.”
These now famous people, all became household names at a later age:
VERA WANG, was a fashion writerprevious wrote about fashion. She was 39 before she became a designer.
VINCENT VAN GOGH didn’t start painting until he was 27.
JK ROWLING is now known as the author of “Harry Potter.” But she was 49 before she became a writer.
WALLACE AMOS, better known as “Famous Amos,” was 41 years old when started his Famous Amos Chocolate Chip cookie company.
MISTY COPELAND was 13 before she ventured... <<<<<< N.B from Jumbotweet: auto-truncated at 4K characters on index page - Click here or on the "view" link to see entire jumbotweet! http://www.jumbotweet.com/ltweets/view/142562
