  Give unto Caeser... famine or fame Keep flying drones, it's only a game If man knew  What He knew He wouldn't fly either The question is peace Do we kill the messenger and eat her? Or remain hungry and scared without hope   personal poem

No one did - another assassination attempt and heads will roll   Drone surveillance of the area would have alerted security long before the shooter could have been seen from the ground  This is most likely a drone shot after the fact provided by almost anyone Source:   https://ca.news.yahoo.com/    BuzzFeed Graphic:  internet artist

Profile of a sniper

Just in case you don't go ape-s this is just for fun.  I enjoy shooting myself. My first gun was a Rugger target pistol purchased in the sixties while in Biloxi Miss.  All my others are BB guns.  I never owned a gun when I had a family of kids in the house - just a personal preference. The sniper wore beads on his left wrist.  He isn't gay, just fun loving.                         The demonic tattoo is in keeping with the current body art craze. He is a better shot than the assassin.  Do what you believe in and throw away your life?  Always use the best available hardware which is not found on Amazon.  Lazer sites are a must for long shots especially when paid for by the federal gov.  It's OK I love my country.  The politics that guides us is a bit of joke, but of necessity. One third of presidents/presidential hopefuls, have had assassination attempts.  So your not special Mr. T.  Glad you're OK.  You are OK aren't you?   Photo credit, I don't know.  I did not

Silent movie music

 I can play the piano and once won an award in an Air Force talent contest in Europe (1967)    If you play an instrument and are inclined to hear a tune but don't have the technical skills to play it, software today will play it for you   Here is an example of Muse Score  and the Blogger link above is how I used it.  Many thanks to my my brother John for finding the appropriate silent movie to blend with the song "Playful" Music   Chuck Mistretta Video   Dr. John Mistretta

A Spoils System In The Federal Government

   November 2017.  Oliver Contreras-Pool/Getty Images)   Edited by blogger " If elected to serve a second term,   Donald Trump   says he supports a plan that would give him the authority to fire as many as 50,000 civil servants and replace them with members of his political party loyal to him. Under this plan, if he eventually deemed those new employees disloyal, he claims he could fire them too." "The United States has tried such a plan before." "As we write in our book “ How Government Built America ,” newly elected President  Andrew Jackson , after he took office in 1828, fired about half the country’s civil servants and replaced them with loyal members of his political party." "The result was not only an utterly incompetent administration, but widespread corruption." Source:  theconversation.com
