Trump vs. Maduro vs. Drugs

October 27, 2025- Monday

President Trump is working to intimidate Venezuelan illegitimate president, Nicolas Maduro. Maduro continues to have a strangle hold on Venezuela. Venezuela has become a haven for drug cartels and Venezuela has become a port for shipping drugs around the world. 

We are being told boats are leaving Venezuela loaded with drugs headed for America. President Trump has authorized the United States military to blow a couple of these boats out of the water and is receiving criticism since the public has not been given totally verifiable information about what was actually on those boats. It would be a fairly safe assumption there were drugs on these boats. The bombing of the boats is really more of a message to Maduro to cease and desist the government’s part in the drug trade. Trump has also insinuated American troops could possibly start missions in Venezuela. That would more than likely require Congress’ involvement. 

President Trump means business when it comes to stopping illegal drugs from entering the United States. He needs to be as aggressive in working on the demand for illegal drugs in the United States. That is a much harder problem to address and not nearly as flashy and Trump is all about flashy. 

There needs to be an all-out blitz on the many tentacles causes of drug use and know government dollars are going to be required. Take all the billions spent on diversity, equity and inclusion programs and the millions wasted in the Department of the Education and start working directly with people who are buying illicit drugs. 

This is important to save American lives.

College Football Playoffs, A Sham

December 19, 2025- Friday The college football 2025-26 playoffs begin today with Alabama Crimson Tide playing the University of Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma. This should be a really good college football game between history laden teams.  The college football playoffs are a sham. At the end of the playoffs we still will not know if the best team actually won the playoffs or not. That is because the University of Notre Dame was omitted from the playoffs.  The two losses on the Fighting Irish ledger, one to Miami and one to Texas A&M by a combined total of 4 points, forced the Fighting Irish to the sidelines for the because they lost by 3 points to Miami in the first game of the season.  For the last five weeks of the regular season, Notre Dame stayed ahead of Miami in the college football playoff rankings because Miami lost to lesser teams, SMU and Louisville.  In the last week, the Atlantic Coast Conference realized the playoffs were going to happen witho...

Dying in Chicago Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

September 6, 2025- Saturday I haven’t had much to say lately about the news and that's probably good. The constant news cycle has worn me out. I still listen to the news so I will know what is happening, but I have cut out much of the news because of all the negativity that gets repeated several times per hour. We now have word that seven people were killed in Chicago over the Labor Day weekend. Over thirty people were shot or injured in the shootings. The weekly shootings and killing in Chicago, Illinois has been constant for the last several years. It is debatable as to who all is doing the shooting, but the fact is, the shooting continues on a weekly basis in Chicago and nothing the political and law enforcement leaders do in Chicago changes anything. Now President Donald Trump wants to address the violence as he did in Washington, D.C. and send in the National Guard into Chicago in an attempt to stop the killing. T he politic al leaders In Illinois and Chicago do not want t...

Maintenance Means Learning and Sharing

September 2025  Topic of the Day- Life. Like Architecture, is a ver. If designed well, it works. It’s beautiful, and it needs no directions. It needs maintenance. How does one effectively maintain well in life? Some people are very goal oriented and seem to be obsessed with self-improvement. I think a lot of maintaining our lives is actually improving ourselves as we go through life. Maintenance in life is improving and moving forward, mostly through education.   One concept I was not taught in school is the concept of lifelong learning. To give ourselves, we need to continue to learn. There are those who choose to simply exist. These people are selfish. They are selfish because they are depriving others around them of all they can be by not maintaining themselves. We must know by growing ourselves, we are actually helping others with all the positive s in our own lives that we share with others.   Our personal maintenance must include sharing what we know...
