#election2020 #trump #democratichopeful For all of his faults, and there are many, Trump does one thing very well, that is to make people feel as if they are part of the team. This should come as no surprise, just look at his rhetoric; America first, America against China, America against immigrants, Nationalism above globalism, us against them. Trump's opponents, myself included, often fail to appreciate the power of inclusion. I think part of it is because we are not seeking inclusion ourselves, we live it everyday, and therefore...

#snowden #privacy #newera Edward Snowden is back in the news. Snowden is promoting a new book, Permanent Record. In the book, a memoir, he goes on to provide a more in-depth record of what happened. This is not a book review, rather a look at how things have changed, if at all, since his revelations, back in 2013. I have been working in technology for a long time, circa 2001. I got my first computer back in the early 90s, during the Prodigy and AOL days. I still...

#amazon #shopping #freemoney Until the end of this year, Amazon is offering up to $10 off your next purchase through their Gift Card Reload Program. The gift-card reload program is basically a credit to your Amazon account which you can later (or soon thereafter) use to purchase products through Amazon, of course. It works like a gift-card you would normally give to a friend, but you give to yourself. You can then use the balance of this gift-card to purchase items as you normally would. The current offer...

@joerogan #jre The JRE podcast has, in recent years, become a touchstone for anyone trying to reach the "unreachables". Those adults that do not get their news through the so-called, main-stream media. Until the JRE and other shows like it, caught on, these unreachables remained just that. This is why it's no surprise our 2020 Presidential candidates and politicians often visit the show. I began listening to Joe Rogan a few years back. Back then he'd do shows with other comics and fighters, and sometimes, he'd have some...

#strongmantactic #election2020 #trump Strongman, those politicians that cycle through time with the promise of fixing everything and anything the populous wants, just as long as they remain in power. Strongman are nothing new. For as long as humans have organized themselves into governments, there have been people presenting themselves as strongman. Man, that as long as you keep them in power, will fix any and all of your ailments. Initially, these strongman, mostly do what they said they will do, if with little concern on the long-term consequences....

#welfare #subsidy This week, the Trump administration got into hot waters about a plan they have to deny citizenship to people that have relied on public welfare. Like all things, on the surface this seems like a good thing. After all, we are America, the land of the free and self-starters. Welfare, like socialism, is a dirty-word in the American lexicon. People on welfare are undesirable. Welfare is for those who didn't try hard enough. Certainly, welfare is not for immigrants. Again, on the surface, you'd be hard-pressed...

#bordercrisis #asylum #concentrationcamp Most of us think of a concentration camp as a place where Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Serbs, and general undesirables, were sent during World War II. We picture (or try not to) the horrendous conditions in which these humans were placed during these trying times. We also tend to think of them as a holding point for what the Nazis referred as the "final solution". However, few of us realize those were not the first camps of human concentration mankind created. That award would go to...

#fico #creditreport #debt Recently I was looking at my FICO score. We've all been taught since childhood that a good citizen pays their debts on time and is responsible with their credit. This is the reason the following negatives in my recent FICO score came as a surprise to me: Few accounts paid on time You have few accounts that are in good standing.Number of your accounts currently being paid as agreed1 accountThe FICO® Score considers the number of accounts showing on time payments. In your case this...

#narcissist #trump #election2020 Trump may not be a lot of things; gracious, intelligent, healthy, or presidential, but predictable, he is. So why is the liberal media so blown away by Trump's behavior day after day. Trump is a narcissist. A narcissist is only concerned with themselves. And they only hear and see what they want. They see no fault in their actions and they hear no criticisms. There are countless examples; from the minute, where Trump stutters, mumbles, or generally makes no sense, to his inability to get...

#tentcity #trump #election2020 #southernborder #texas #dhs Conflict and war make money. They can make money for both sides, though if the conflict turns into an all-out-war, only the victor will get to enjoy it. So it should come as no surprise to learn that under the Trump Administration, a project that would have cost them $1, ended up costing them $25 million instead. According to a report by Vice News, the department of homeland security (DHS) was offered a city-owned building at the outrageous lease price of $1...
