Trump Makes America Vulnerable

-


Americans have blogs, talk shows and podcasts about man/woman relationships but have no clue about how the rest of the world feels about them.

It’s not important because they are the eternal father Christmas. They vote for aid for Ukraine to fight the evil Russians. They don’t know how the conflict began and the difference between Ukrainians and Russians. It doesn’t matter. Congressmen don’t know and don’t care. They’ll just vote along party lines. Americans do not know anything about the cost of foreign policy.

Donald Trump is a blessing in disguise for countries that hate America because of envy or helplessness. G7 countries don’t necessarily love America. They are indebted to Washington because of history, when the U.S. came to Europe’s rescue during the second world war. America came with troops, candy and cigarettes to save Europe from Nazi Germany. I don’t know what kids are taught in school, but that is the foundation of American foreign policy in Europe. We saved you 25 years ago, therefore you are eternally indebted to America. If we fight Russia, you must be on board.

Enter Donald Trump. NATO, now called the G7 countries are based on America’s might, its strength as ‘big brother.’ Donald Trump behaves otherwise. How can a man who is at war with his own country protect Europe? Why should Europe put its citizens in danger for such a man?

I don’t agree with you. Europe and the rest of the world loves America that is why they enter the country either legally or illegally through the southern border. True. True dat. But the point is, is it to enjoy American liberty or destroy it from within? Remember 9/11.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
