The ghosts of children past are something of a mystery, We don't know how they got here and can't resolve their misery. We see them in our history a chance that isn't often, Visits are not frequent they come and go as coffins. Certainly not a gold mine or something to be lost in, We pray they stay away until the day we join them.  For some reason  the ghosts are returning and it is a miserable mystery Should it be tolerated When no credit is given for any work, it is mine  The picture maybe a photo edit from my brother

Keep your eye on the ball becomes a scientific reality BBC Future | David Robson

America faces an epic choice... ... in the coming year, and the results will define the country for a generation. These are perilous times. Over the last three years, much of what the Guardian holds dear has been threatened – democracy, civility, truth. This US administration is establishing new norms of behaviour. Anger and cruelty disfigure public discourse and lying is commonplace. Truth is being chased away. But with your help we can continue to put it center stage. Rampant disinformation, partisan news sources and social media's tsunami of fake news is no basis on which to inform the American public in 2020. The need for a robust, independent press has never been greater, and with your support we can continue to provide fact-based reporting that offers public scrutiny and oversight. Our journalism is free and open for all, but it's made possible than...

“A widening military-civilian divide increasingly impacts our ability to effectively recruit and sustain the force,” Blogger - I joined the Air Force in 1965 to reduce my chances of fighting in Vietnam.  I supported our government, but not the war.  It was an eight-year battle that outlived its purpose and the men who fought it.  For those who did fight and die, they are to be heled in the highest regard.

Americans still aren't rallying behind the president. “ The first poll after the killing of Soleimani shows 53 percent of Americans disapproving of Trump’s handling of Iran, a number similar to what other polling registered in September and October. What has changed is that 39 percent ‘strongly disapprove’ of Trump’s policy— a number up 10 points since before the Soleimani killing . ” Action reaction but not as intended as we in the name of our president decide how to manage security abroad.  blogger Source  David Frum Staff writer at The Atlantic  www.theatlantic.com

At least the mind moves on and on in a chosen direction at least for most still capable of charting their course and destinations  Having reached the age of advanced maturity at least in body  I tire not only of my physical inabilities but of the political discord that superiority has yet to determine a winner  No one wins and everybody loses the war that takes lives and life for those of us who choose our leaders or have them imposed on us

My life is unrequited People linger then pass on A word or two becomes a dare Then they vanish they are not there The above is the condition that a bi-polar person faces  Few friends understand  The few that do tolerate the unimaginable  The normal definition is as follows from Wikipedia   Unrequited love or one-sided love is love that is not openly reciprocated or understood as such by the beloved. The beloved may not be aware of the admirer's deep and strong romantic affection, or may consciously reject it.

You may remember Gonzales Gonzales from John Wayne movies.  He provided comedy in Rio Bravo, Hellfighters, and several other John Wayne movies. This video shows where he got his start. He innocently appeared as a contestant on 'You Bet Your Life' with Groucho Marx. As the questioning continued, it got funnier and funnier.   Groucho took advantage of the situation based upon audience laughter. John Wayne happened to be watching the show and contacted him after the event.  John Wayne insisted he played himself in the movies.   Gonzalez became a popular character in JW movies. source www.chonday.com

Isn't it time that our lawmakers fought for our best interest rather than their own  Elections are important  So are the people who elected and empowered legislators to do a job of keeping our country safe and worth living in  We do not live in a monarchy  We do not live in a dictatorship  We do behave as though the only choices we have are the ones we are dictated to and how to bow down America is freedom  Don't forget  If you need to remember read the history books that tell us what the true intent of our leaders was
