U.S. President's Core Function is To Protect

-

Stability. Safety. Synergy.

The U.S. President is like a coin. It has two sides. The office bearer protects citizens at home and abroad. He is the Commander in Chief, the protector function that was vested in British kings and queens. That small country fought wars on behalf of “Her Majesty” or “His Majesty.”

Royal Navy

Royal Air Force

Royal Artillery

These three branches are an example of how the queen or king protected citizens from enemies far away. Royalty is anathema to Americans. That’s why they replaced the monarchy with an elected president whose key function is to work with Congress to protect the coin from within and without. The U.S. has an elaborate document called the Constitution. It was carved to prevent any whiff of royal privilege, dictatorship or totalitarianism.

I’m not a constitutional lawyer. I stand corrected, but I don’t think that document has a clause, a section, an amendment that says the U.S. protector can unleash violence on people he is supposed to protect. His Commander in Chief function is mainly to protect his people, from enemy forces.

A crime is incubated over a period of time, so was 6 January 2021. Co-conspirators looked at the pro’s and con’s, allocated duties and fine-tuned emergency routes. This all comes to light in a court of law. But that is for ordinary criminals. On 1 July 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court said such evidence cannot be used against a president who was doing his ‘core’ function.

A president’s core function is to protect U.S. citizens from enemy aliens. On 6 January 2021, Donald Trump declared American voters as the enemy, and exercised his Commander in Chief function at home, internally, in a ceremony that is the reason why on July 4, 1776, America adopted a DNA devoid of the absolute rule of kings and queens.

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
