Sad, but the true nature of “America” showed up during this election.  So now that the Republicans will apparently have full control of the government in 2025, let’s see what they plan to do and how much of Project 2025 will try to be implemented. 

It looks like too many people tried to be clever.  Voters across America tried to hold on to the piece of cake they were eating, especially in Florida, and may have lost it all.  Florida voters overwhelmingly voted to support Abortion and Women’s Healthcare rights but guess what…they could not reach the 60 percentile that was needed to make it the state law.  So, by them also voting for Trump, they gets nothing, nada…zip; at the moment.

I also think other changes are on the way too.  With Trump’s Postmaster General DeJoy still on the job,

Beware of Companies Trying to Sell You Gold and Silver

It seems like every time elections come around or something that might have an effect on the economy, some company(ies) start with the “buy gold and silver” commercials.  The more commercials you see, the more you should suspect there might be a possibility of a scam afoot. And it’s usually supporters of the right wing.

I don’t want to name companies here, but I would encourage you to do the research for yourself and elderly relatives who might become victims of the schemes.

Any company that is not FDIC insured should be considered a problem for you. Your money is not protected.  FDIC stands for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  It’s the independent agency of the United States federal

If People Can’t See How Much of A Problem Trump Is, Let Them Be

 

I personally think it is time for all of the begging, pleading, and cajoling to cease. If people can’t see or refuse to remember how bad Trump and the Republicans were for the average American, then forget about them and focus on the voters and support you do have.

This is a repeat of the 2016 election. Everybody (now including me) spends all their time talking about what that idiot of a buffoon is doing instead of moving forward.  If you are going to talk about him, discuss how it seemed like every day there was a made up self-generated crisis that stressed people

I Have A Problem With All The Extra Civilians Sucking Up Money That Veterans Could Be Getting Directly—My Current Rant

It is understood that Service Members fight and defend these United States of America.  We have a civilian President, Vice-President and other officials who have rank over them in leadership roles.  No problem.

My problem is with the extra civilians that are hired in the VA, DFAS (Defense Finance and Accounting Service) and other important agencies who haven’t served a day in their lives and have no idea what Service Members actually go through.  If they want a civilian related job supporting the military, at least they should join the National Guard or Reserve so that they can have an idea of the full experience.

There are more than likely millions, if not billions of dollars that could go directly to veterans without going through the extra layer of bullshit.  As a matter of fact—the VA Claims department could be eliminated altogether.  Telling anybody who went through the minimum of Basic Training that there
