In October we took a half a day to split wood. Enough to keep us in firewood for a while. We had our first fire in the fire place on Oct 31. It really felt good, I have a relaxing feeling come over me when there is a fire in the fire place. I sat there thinking here we go into winter. I am glad we made it this far, I have had a lot of friends fall along the wayside in the last two years. Dave Noel was my most hurtful one this year, so far. I lost three out of my Business Club in recent years. Anyway this is the time to be thankful. Christmas is coming and I have not done any shopping, our grand children have all the biggest tows there is already. The boys on the farm have their own horses. The other Grandchildren are easier to buy for. Of course in our business world charities are coming out of the woods. There is a lot of needy children out there this Christmas. Try to help!
Going into next year very soon I will say I have laid my trust in the right people this year. The two I always have to mention is Nick Navetta with (Edward Jones) and Christine Calvert Healthcare Insurance Specialist. I Trust these two completely. They have proven records in my book and It is hard to earn that position with me! I do business with people NOT businesses, if you trust someone it is easy to do business.
Let’s talk about AI! I receive a magazine every month from ACP called Publish and they have some the best witter. One of the publishers said and I quote iAI will allow college students to cheat on their home work. My question is what will they learn. In the same magazine a Gen Z wrote the problem with AI is it will tell you untruths and then with its intellect it will convince you it is true. You know how many people believe a headline without reading the story. The headline is to get you attention so you read the story!
This thing about education and the learning percentage is down in math. This is one of the thing that drive me crazy. They lump Algebra into math. That is where they lose a lot of children. I was talking to several children in my circle of life and that is their big problem. There parents are both working some don’t understand algebra so then I ask 20 people at a baseball game where there were parents of children in the same grand stand.Ten answered my question. How many of you have used Algebra in your work place or in your life. One said he used it and he was a pilot. So I conclude why are we forcing children to learn something they will never use in their life. If you take Algebra out of the equation what would it do to the percentage. How about just teaching simple math and as the education goes into the next year make the problems harder but using simple math? Let’s keep it simple stupid! If the student wants to go into college education then add Algebra!
In the beginning of 2025 January issue I wrote about Biden calling us trash .. Well I said Trump will be throwing out the trash and was not us the conservative Republicans. It was TURNCOATS, LIARS, people committing TREASON! Criminal PROSECUTOR’S! TRAITORS! Politicians committing VOTER FRAUD! Getting paid PAY FOR PLAY! Money FOR FAVORS! The president invited Elon into create DOGE Exposing many illegally funds and money misused in other country’s! It goes on for ever. (Thank You Elon!) Dealing with COVID! Unveiling the money spent by Obama / Biden and Doctor Falchi. We paid for a lot for the study in China that killed millions of our people. No one has gone to jail, it should be the death penalty because that is what happened to millions of our unsuspecting American people.
Last December I wrote: I’M FIRED UP! Trump will be throwing out the garbage. Biden started by calling us garbage, but Trump will finish it. Biden / Harris have a lot of blood on their hands. People are dieing and more are going to die! Most of what Biden / Harris did was illegal! Bodies were found in the Rio Grand daily! They invited them to do something against our constitution of our United States in hopes they could make them voters. It did not work! The people drowned because of greed, power, and stupidity.
WHO IS IN FEMA? Who is in charge of FEMA? FEMA’s Job description is… They are the nation’s emergency management agency, and their mission is to help people before, during and after disasters. We trusted them with our tax money to help with disasters. How much money does FEMA get each year?
I’m STILL FIRED UP! Compared to the federal revenue of $4.44 trillion for the same period last year (Oct 2022 – Sep 2023) federal revenue has increased by $479 billion. A lot of this money has gone to feed, house, and what ever for the illegal immigrant’s. THAT IS ILLEGAL! I have been so fired up about everything that was said and done that I have to write this. First can you imagine FEMA skipping Trump supporters. How far back have they been doing this? Trump mentioned it when someone complained about it after losing everything they had. FEMA claimed it was a lie! These people are victims! They have paid taxes that FEMA uses to help victims (THEM). Somebody needs to go to jail. Don’t just fire them “It’s jail time”. Agencies using tax money and weaponizing by skipping anyone because of politics, OH MYGOSH!!! They offered no help during the flood and the deaths in the Carolina’s and neighboring states.I got a taste of FEMA years ago when a tornado went through Lady Lake and destroyed the Church. Some people lost everything they owned. So the community donated some really nice warm jackets because it would be getting cold soon. Who manages these people? FEMA DOES! I show up at a FEMA tent! Where people who lost everything could maybe get some clothes. I thought I would tell the story about how great FEMA was, maybe take a picture, run it in my newspaper. There were people in the tent trying on several nice expensive leather jackets, I approach them and ask “did you have tornado damage?” They replied no we are from Tampa, we visit FEMA tent to get free clothes. I went to the lady in charge of the tent and told her, she would not approach them. Who ever is put in charge of free services should ask for an ID to prove they are from the affected area! I know they probably needed clothes but intent was to help the people and family’s suffering from the Tornado. The tornado wiped out the whole church and many homes killed some family’s and people are traveling miles to get free clothes that are meant for tornado victims!
Things are looking up instead of me being Fired Up! I believe we are on the right track. Our track wiggles side to side because the Democrats are obstructing us but now they have to worry about the COMMUNIST taking over their party! How dum are some of those…
FIRED UP! I was in the tag office Dunnellon FL. Waiting for fifty people a head of me and we get just about to step up to the window, mind you my wife is having a bad time walking. This guy tapes me on the shoulder and says …You would not mind if I step ahead of you and drop my information off. I looked at him in disbelief, I said are you kidding me? I said you should be ashamed of yourself for asking me. You can see my wife is having a hard time standing. Still he pressed I said “HELL NO!” Sorry and we went up to the window,. I said make it quick this guy behind mw=e is in. A big hurry, she said now now and went on to ask for all our information. You don’t just drop something off there you have to prove who you are then do business. SOME PEOPLE!
News Flash: Our government found 186,000. dead people are receiving benefits???
My goal this year is to help where I can, shared information from the Fed Gov. State Gov. Local Gov and Local people and stand my ground!
