America dialed 911 and Donald Trump answered the phone. Now they are trying to stop him because the DOJ investigation is getting to deep. It is uncovering some very powerful, well liked people.

I cannot understand why we are sending all these millions of dollars to all the countries that either hate us or try to help countries that want to hurt us. Our politicians are sending their family members out to join a company or start a company in other countries where their family have influence and could collect Millions for political influence. There are many documented cases connecting a number of influential politicians and politicians’ family members. It is money laundering, kickbacks, favor for a favor but millions of our tax payer is paying for all that.  So that explains the impeachment and the rush to beat Trump because he is rooting out the crooks.

I think it runs deeper and higher than any of us could imagine!!! “Drain the Swamp!” Make them serve jail time, maybe not a lot of jail time but enough to make the others realize there is a price to pay for their crimes.

This month I enjoyed some of the interaction of our readers. Ocala reader…Lady called left a message that she picked up our newspaper at the Oasis Cafe. She continues she enjoys the info from the Governor, Political stories, Dennis Baxley column, CEP Ocala Chamber, etc. She said she liked the Oasis Cafe very much.

Another lady shared nostalgia, a video of Kate Smith version of “God Bless America” It was black and white, blurred, not in good focus so I’m thinking it was so early it is what motion pictures were back then. Kate’s voice was and is really beautiful. This reminds me of a true story….Here it is:

Some years back I had an office in Inverness Fl where a cable TV office was located. We had a common lunch room. There was a sales lady from the Cable TV company talking to a group of us in there. She said to me I hear you are a musician. I said yes I was but I retired from it. She said “I have some musical Instruments in a shed in my back yard. I wonder what they a worth.” I ask “what are they doing in a shed out back?” She explained her grandfather was the leader of the Kate Smith band and all the band instruments are in that building. I thought she was pulling my leg. I said they are probably ruined by now! I threw a few questions at her which told her I was not sure if I believed her. The next day she brought me six records, very old, two of which said not for release. It was a big band sound with Kate Smith singing. She told me to keep the records. She had nothing to play them on.

I told her she needed to contact some music stores, antique shops and put an ad on her cable TV  station. I lost tract because she left the station. I kept those records she gave me in a safe place I thought, with my high school band records at my mother-in-law’s house. She had a record player. She pass away and suddenly I realize I don’t have my records…THEY WERE DONATED TO A CHURCH GARAGE SALE! They were never to be seen or heard again. I was devastated, still am!

Do you have an unusual short story about a famous person you knew or came in contact with???

How about your opinion on what is going on in Washington/Florida??
