There Needs To Be Another Political Split and Shift

Me podcasting in an 'undisclosed' location😁

I had a few things I wanted to talk about today, concerning politics...so here we go...

First, Just as the real political changers moved away from the initial Republican party and moved into the Democratic Party (because they were more attune to making change happen); that shift needs to happen again. 

Dr. King was not a Democrat or Republican.  Neither was Malcom.  And, neither should you be. You should be who you are and see who is working on your behalf and not just making empty promises.

To be fair, Biden has made a change in his earlier positions as a politician; but only because he was and is being pushed by progressives wanting more changes that were to the benefit of people.  Otherwise you would have the same "Nothing is going to fundamentally change" - Joe, as he said he would be before he was elected the first time.  

I don't think parties do anything other than separate and divide people.  And also slow down and be a road block to those who want positive change for the masses.

UPDATED: (Original August 5, 2023)

I've taken the first steps in making my current blog a community resource and a place where startups can get reasonable and cost effective supplemental marketing starting at only $10.  Some businesses have difficulty deciding whether or not they need a website.  But everyone could use some type of online presence.

I've changed up my blog quite a bit, but I still offer the service of helping businesses be seen and heard online.  I consider my blog to be somewhat different because I try to really integrate participating businesses into my blog space, making the read hopefully more pleasant to view rather than have hundreds of  popup ads interrupting and distracting you from the information you trying to view.

Our site offers a listing different than a listing you would get on a Chamber of Commerce site, and we're designed to fit price wise into your marketing strategy.

If you have question or comments be sure to reach out!

Soldier For Life Link

Have you served or are you serving in the military?  I've learned that it's never too soon to find out information about benefits and retirement.  This is a link for Service Members to refer to in case they needed a starting point for trying to seek help.  To start off the list, I thought the Soldier For Life Retirement link found on the Army Mil site would be a great selection.  I visited it recently and saw that it had all kinds of information about retirement and other useful points of interest. The link is https://soldierforlife.army.mil/retirement .

The above link along with the main site, https://soldierforlife.army.mil, has many hours of useful information and can get you caught up on somethings you may have missed.

Though this post is generally for those who served in the Army, There could be links and helpful information listed on the pages mentioned for other branches as well. 

I wanted to add something for everyone, so this link is to Military One Source: a general resource for all branches.  https://www.militaryonesource.mil/

And, thank you all for your service.  Huah [Hooah].

Something for Retiring Veterans--Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard. If you are a retiring Service Member, this DFAS.mil site might be just what you need to learn more about retirement.  They even have information for Gray Area Retirees!  As you know active duty soldiers are usually eligible for retirement after 20 years of honorable service; but Reservists and National Guard Members become eligible around the age of 60.  Gray Area Retirees can become eligible earlier if certain rules apply.  Read up on it all by visiting the DFAS site!

Have you made a copy of your important documents and valuables?  With today's technology, it is very easy to make copies or take pictures of important documents and valuables, such as Birth Certificates, ID Cards, and other valuables to prove identification or show ownership.  Using your cell phone or printer scanner can be used to accomplish the task. Making a scan or digitizing old family pictures is also a great idea and a great way to preserve family history.  Need help?  You can always reach out to us at dhspeller.com for some administrative support, or maybe a tech savvy family member who could help with the task at an affordable cost.  Be sure to save or transfer those photos to a thumb drive or some other type of storage medium.  A Terabyte external storage drive is very affordable now and can store a great deal of files and images.  It's a great project to tackle during the upcoming holiday season!

AARP Bulletin and Website are great sources for information.  Do you receive the AARP Bulletin or have visited the AARP Website?  If not, I recommend you do so.  It has a wealth of information and sometimes great tips and digital coupons are available that can lead to saving a good deal of money. It covers a lot of information about retirement and healthcare; an excellent supplement to visiting the Social Security government site.
