Mr. Presidents, Let’s Make It About Us

Mr. Presidents, Let’s Make It About Us

September 11, 2018 By Rich Siegel

Please remember, I did politely ask President Trump to work on his humility. Judging from his campaign appearance in Montana he isn’t listening to me.

Mr. President, I do understand your ire, but now it is time to start bringing us together. As your delivery gets better, it gets worse, you know what I mean.

At John Mcain’s funeral was President Obama talking to Trump, or the mainstream media? It sure sounded to me like it applied to CNN’s coverage of Mr. Trump.

When it comes to being pompous, Trump and Obama are in a dead heat. One is a New York City wheeler dealer, and the other is a arrogant phony elitist.

Obama is going to give a clear message rebuking President Trump’s behavior. (Breaking news on CNN) I say the same thing to you Mr. Obama….. it is time to start bringing us together.

Senator Corey Booker now joins a long list of media patsies, who have opted for early retirement. The “I am Spartacus” moment sure sounds like a dog whistle to me.

If you don’t have a fairly good understanding of what Trump is telling you by now, I am not sure you ever will. People who continually make the same declarations enough times get stuck in a point of no return.

The dilemma is simple: Mr. Trump wants to run gov’t like a business, but he must do so within the structure of our Constitution. It is clear he a formidable businessman, but he must work harder at following the rule of law.

Watching Judge Kavanaugh’s face as protestors were dragged out had me laughing everytime. I think I know where his mind was going. The hardest place to get to.

I am a fierce supporter of a woman’s right to choose. Still, I am allowed to believe Kavanaugh will make a good judge, and Roe vs. Wade will be protected.

Good for FOX. They televised the entire speech President Obama delivered last Friday. CNN, on the other hand, stayed with ‘Cuomo Live’ during the current President’s rant in Montana.

There is no question Obama’s speech writers are tremendous spinners. His sermon may have been genuine, but your eight years are up Mr. former President.

This is getting very interesting . It feels like former President Obama is running against Donald Trump in the mid-term elections.

I overheard two people talking in a restaurant the other day. “Impeach him!”, said the one man. “No, he’s doing a great job,” said his friend. “I don’t care impeach him!”

At his latest rally Trump did share some of the information that he and Putin discussed in private. Sorry, if you watch only CNN you have no idea what I am talking about.

Things like the President discussing his meeting with the leader of the Soviet Union is not news these days. It is about anonymous sources, hookers, and washed up journalists.

So far, the Washington insiders coup d’etat isn’t going so well. I know Trump would like severe penalties for the conspirators, but I say, let’s just forgive and move on.

I am listening closely to Barrack Obama trying to spur on the Democrats in these upcoming mid-term elections. He is between a rock and a hard place. His speeches now sound like evidence of failure on his part.

Obama started his comback tour in California, and Trump started his glory ride in Indiana and Montana. I want to hear these two trying to win over unsympathetic crowds.

Finally, Obama said something I agree with. “You want change, get out and vote”. That is how it works in this country Mr. Obama.

Bob Berta pointed out to me that the richest counties in the United States surround Washington D. C. I am not good at math, I will allow you to add that up.

The University of Chicago is talking about not allowing Steve Bannon to speak on its’ campus. This is where we are at folks with free speech on elite learning grounds. Pathetic!

Both CNN and FOX sound as if I am listening to a tape of someone trying to brainwash me. Here’s some real news: Good luck with that.

The majority of the time I look at the television there is no sound on. I barely heard a word he said but I was mesmerized staring at Judge Kavanaugh’s face during his confirmation hearings.

Barrack Obama and George Bush Jr. are without any doubt good natured people and are fundamentally sound family men. In my opinion they both sold their political souls to become President.

As for George (I grab me some ass when no one is looking) Bush Sr. If there is a “Deep State”, he is a first ballot Hall of Famer.

I heard it on FOX, so I am not sure of the credibility. FOX reported that Donald Trump’s approval rating since being elected President has doubled amongst African American voters.

Is Tom Brady playing today? What are the Brady haters going to do 20 years from now when he stops playing on Sundays?

Sports are about the players, not the officials. Shame on that GEEK tennis judge at the U.S. Open. That match was about celebrating a young Japanese tennis player (Naomi Osaka) completing a dream of stomping her hero in the finals of a grand slam event. It was not about some goofball tennis nerd judge.

Let’s go gentle on Serena Williams. Like Tiger and Tom, I will be far less interested, than I already am, in their sports, when they are not competing anymore.

Ask yourself this question: Leaving personality, race, and the flag aside. Who is more of a freedom fighter Colin Kapernick or Donald Trump?

I assume Bob Woodard and Carl Bernstein had some credibility in a time far away. Today, they appear like nothing more than two cartoon characters out of Looney Tunes.

Said by Tyrus on The Greg Gutfeld Show: “I got 99 problems on my mind when I get up in the morning. And Trump ain’t one of them.” Bravo!

I rarely make a promise, but I made one to a good friend last night. I am going to do my part on the side of a humility in the coming months. Seriously people, this is not about Trump, it is about us.

Trump Has The Popular Kids on The Run.

Trump Has The Popular Kids on The Run.

September 3, 2018 By Rich Siegel

John McCain is a American hero and honored statesman. Donald Trump’s detractors describe Trump as a vengeful little child. But McCain insisting he did not want the President at his funeral is extremely petty for someone who is suppose to be so big.

You must admit Senator McCain gained popularity once he declared himself an enemy of the President. In 2008 McCain received 60,000,000 votes, and lost the election to Barrack Obama. In 2016 Trump received 63,000,000 votes and is now President of the United States. Fact check that!

I am tired of hearing about what a class act McCain was. The theme of his funeral was “Fuck the President”.  Such a huge classy man.

Trump is entitled to have an Attorney General, and a cabinet, he has trust in. Jeff Sessions should update his resume.

John F. Kennedy had his brother as his head lawman. At the time Robert Kennedy was far from the most qualified for the job.

Let’s not forget about the Bush family while we are speaking of nepotism and cronism. The two former Presidents not showing support, or up, at the Republican convention in 2016 was a disgrace.

Tiger Woods is famous for avoiding controversy. This is what he said when pressed to comment on Trump: “My parents taught me that no matter my personal feelings to respect our President.”

Trump having a telephone call with the President of Mexico on live television is as transparent as it gets. If Obama had done that, CNN would have nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Democrats are going for candidates who are full fledged liberal fighters. Their latest shining star is Andrew Gillum winning the Democratic Gubernatorial primary in Florida.

It looks as if the “Elephants” have thrown out the old playbook. Pounding it up the middle is over, running hard left is their new game plan.

Go ahead and call Trump non-presidential, a loudmouth, and a narcissistic pig. But saying he is not trying to get shit done demonstrates you aren’t paying attention and probably never will.

Stormy Daniels lawyer ( I refuse to spell out this jerk-off’s name) has now insinuating that President Trump is the head of the world Mafia. He also announced he is contemplating a run for the top office in 2020. Please MR. Please!!!!

I give kudos to Lanny Davis for admitting he misrepresented an important fact surrounding Trump’s involvement in Russian collusion. It is never too late to concede you made an error.

Don Lemon seems to be proud that he is on top of the Trump supporters hate list. I know Don, anyone who doesn’t see it your way is a racist.

Don spends most of his newscast hours showing snippets of Trump’s racists tendencies. Mr. Lemon said calling an Afro-American articulate demonstrates racism. I haven’t walked in your shoes, and you haven’t walked in mine.

I swear Don Lemon, I am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. Help me by telling yourself “I’m a news reporter, not the moral compass for all things”.

Donald Trump is running the country like it is his business. And I say, it is about time!!! Simple theories like; policy over personality and results over rhetoric.

Here’s an idea: Let’s change Trump’s title from President to Chief Executive Officer. We can make Barrack Obama, and Merle Streep puppet King and Queen.

Not since John F. Kennedy was assassinated have I witnessed so much news coverage of a politician’s death. John McCain wasn’t the news media’s golden child until he started demonstrating his hatred for Trump.

Every pundit on CNN has a stunned look on their faces. I think they have figured out that Donald Trump is so much better at the game these elitist asses have been playing their entire lives.

It appears Mr. Trump has his enemies in our country by the balls. Now it is time for him to show some humility. I can’t help you on this one Mr. President.

Bob Mueller’s reputation is impeccable, just ask any Trump hater. He may also be very intelligent, but I don’t think he has figured out that history will describe him as the “patsy” in this mess.

The president sent a clear message at his latest pep rally in Indiana. “I am tired of this investigation, either back up now, or get the bodybags ready.” Do you hear that?….. Comey, Clapper, Brennan and Hillary.

Anger is the result of addiction to delusion. Individuals delude themselves about who they are, and then become angry because they are nothing close to the perception they created in their fantasy……. HB HP!!!!

John McCain seems more impressed with himself in death than he did in life. Snubbing the sitting President from attending his funeral was equal in pettiness to Trump decrying McCain wasn’t a war hero.

Remember if you impeach Trump you get Mike Pence. The VP. is currently the president of ” the deep state” club, and the “the right to life” club.

What a strange turn of events. Ted Cruz is now groveling at Trump’s feet. Good for “lyin” Ted, forgiving Trump for the insults thrown at Mrs. Cruz.

via GIPHY

Every time I conclude I have acted, or spoken, inappropriately I am committed to doing better the next time I get there. It is a good thought to have for a guy who makes a lot of mistakes.

Message to all Catholics: Give up!!!!! The catastrophic atrocities committed by Papal leadership over centuries are beyond repairing.

Google is on its way to losing me. They can take their advertisements, bias, algorithms and shove them up their portal.

You may be able to make a logical decision on what I am thinking. But all the algorithms in the world will NEVER be able to figure out how illogical my mind can be.

You have got to keep watering your dream. The harder the struggle the sweeter victory tastes.

Trump on The Run

Trump on The Run

August 26, 2018 By Rich Siegel

I read the the Constitution of the United States recently. I am more convinced than ever before that our founding fathers would be extremely unhappy with how big our government has become.

Officially there are three branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. I think unofficially the fourth branch is the “Deep State”.

We all make thousands of decisions a day. It is mind boggling to imagine what goes behind that mental process.

Rudy Guiliani got a bit confused peddling his spin, “The truth isn’t the truth. It is someone’s version of the truth.” I do understand Rudy, but it sounds real bad.

Andrew Cuomo another ungrateful, arrogant, phony topped Guilani’s quote, “America was never great.” Again, I do understand, but if words do matter that should be career ending.

Here are some credible words from me. Bill Clinton should never have been impeached. Considering impeaching President Trump in reference to payment to Stormy Daniels or Paul Manafort’s 2005 tax problems is more egregious.

If you want to play this game, then let’s play. Announce a special council to investigate some real criminality in government, ie….Hillary Clinton’s crimes against humanity, the crooked Robert Mueller and the FBI, and the slimiest of slimey, John Brennan and the CIA. Until that happens Trump is right, this is nothing more than a witch hunt.

Every time I speak to my lawyers now I meet in a secure place and have my people pat them down. Michael Cohen has destroyed the idea of attorney-client privilege.

Isn’t it funny how all the crooked politicians judge crooked businessmen. And the pot said to the kettle.

An illegal immigrant stalks and murders a Iowa girl and CNN barely mentions it. They do find the time to report this scumbag was hired to work for a company owned by a Republican politician.

Michael Cohen gets four years in prison instead of 60. This guy represents the scumiest of lawyers on their scumiest day.

The Democrats cried “you can’t impeach a President for personal reasons” in defending Bill Clinton. I think we all can agree Donald Trump, or Bill Clinton, are not going to pass for anyone’s moral compass.

Lanny Davis is Michael Cohen’s counsel. Davis, one of the most obnoxious of all the Clinton hired lackeys, is out of his coffin making a bigger ass of himself then ever before.

It is clear that Lanny Davis represents the tainted Democratic National Committee and not Michael Cohen. On national television Davis declared his client would never accept a pardon from Trump. Lanny Davis has spent a lifetime shaming his profession.

Paul Manafort was found guilty of tax invasion and bank fraud. Someone please explain to me how this is vital to the Russian collusion.

I am befuddled. How can the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels be both “hush money” and a campaign contribution? Stormy and her attorney Michael Avanatti co-created the dance moves for “Do the Hustle”.

It makes zero difference as to which side of the issue you are on, you must agree this purge for impeachment has lost all credibility. If you don’t believe that, I have some good shit to sell you.

Trump has been calling out our long time government establishment on negligence and incompetence. Hate the game not the player.

If Bob Mueller is worthy of the pedestal the Trump haters put him on then it is time for him to step up and say. “I can’t find any evidence that Donald Trump directly colluded with Russia.”

I have changed my mind on the wall. Build it NOW!!!

The first duty of our gov’t is to protect its’ citizens. I think the Tibbetts’ family gives the government low marks in this area.

A word of advice to the hate mongers. Impeaching President Clinton for getting blow-jobs and lying about them turned him into a very popular guy.

I am going to make a prediction. If Mueller continues to try and muscle Trump henchmen the next investigation will center around Hilary Clinton.

They hold 60 years over him and Michael Cohen flips onto to his stomach. This guy is as reliable as your favorite scorned lover.

The pursuers of Donald Trump are cowards, but they pail in comparison with the Catholic Church. After abusing little boys Priests would give the children a cross to wear so the other Priests would know who was vunerable.

Thanks to the city of Atlanta for the southern charm they laid on my family last week. A special thank you to Ricardo and Lisa for being very special hosts to myself, Donna and Laura.

“He who has a how, has a way.” Jordan Peterson, The creator of “self authoring” understands freedom of speech as good as anyone.

I am committed to solving problems. I am honing my act on a small stage right now.

Once in a while people can recognize, I can recognize, what they are thinking. That kind of recognition is electric.

It is convenient for Trump. He has his own twitter station and his own television station.

One of the hardest things to do in life is to let go. The Trump detractors should let go of their bias and hate.

If you’re reading this, there is still time for you. What are you doing for the rest of your life?

Who is Donald Trump?

Who is Donald Trump?

August 17, 2018 By Rich Siegel

The Democrats should be thinking about a solid candidate who can beat Trump in the next Presidential election. I’ll remind the donkeys of what my grandfather used to tell me at the track, “You can’t beat a horse with no horse”.

Omarosa’s book is called “Unhinged”. With that title, is there any reason you need to read what’s inside?

The commentators on FOX and CNN are nothing more than representatives of their parties. Both of their narratives are “Big Brother” like.

The only “blue wave” you will see this Fall may be at a Kentucky Wildcat hoop game. The Democrats and Republicans can wave goodbye to the current two-party system.

The United States has 548 billionaires. China has 584 billionaires. Let’s not forget money still rules the world.

I am starting to believe in the theory that China has exploited American altruism. China is our country’s biggest threat.

China has infiltrated America in the areas of education, technology, and weaponry. Someday it very well may be America and Russia as allies in WWIII.

CNN has touted Oprah and LeBron James as presidential candidates. Not to be out done, FOX is thinking about backing “Pit Bull”.

The Monday after the PGA championship, Tiger Woods was on the cover on USA Today, the Daily News, and the New York Post. While I enjoyed watching his valiant attempt, someone needs to mention that Brooks Koepka won the tournament.

A $715 billion defense spending bill named after Senator John McCain was recently signed. Trump must have changed his mind about McCain’s heroism.

Take a good look at Manafort, Stone, Flynn, Lewandowski, Bannon, Omarosa, ect. Are they a representation of Trump’s loyalty, or his bad judgement?

There is plenty of evidence that the FBI has disintegrated into a corrupt partisan agency. First McCabe then Comey, now John Strzok.

Nancy Pelosi claims she continues to be “a tremendous asset to the Democratic party”. Earth to Nancy…… You are a tremendous asset to the Republicans.

Omarosa getting a tape recorder into the White House “Situation Room” is scary. The fact that Omarosa had a job in the White House is even scarier.

Ana Navarro, who poses as a political commentator for CNN, was screaming into the camera at President Trump, “racist, racist, racist, racist racist!!!!!”. It is official, she has lost her mind.

A baggage boy steps into the cockpit and takes a jetliner for a spin. Airport security isn’t as tight as you think.

I think everyone forgets a jetliner with 300 people on it disappeared two years ago. This is hard to believe, even for a guy like me who received a D – in technology.

My latest movie recommendation is ‘Girl with Green Eyes’. A simple story of time and place.

Breaking News! Michael Avenatti, lawyer of Stormy Daniels, has thrown his name into the swamp for a 2020 presidential swim.

A word can have several meanings depending on how it is used. The words “dog” and “fuck” come to mind. Duh.

There is no question the Russians had their hands in the 2016 presidential election, but I am pretty sure there is not a correlation with Paul Manafort’s 2005 tax returns.

I am trying to maintain an open mind. Robert Mueller and his investigation should come forward now with what they have on Trump.

The media looks the other way at any positive statistics put up by the Trump administration and focuses for four days on the possibility that Trump used the N-word once 20 years ago. Really?

On the same day Syria blows up a school bus full of kids, and a bridge collapses in Italy killing 13, CNN is debating the integrity of Omarosa. This is where we are at folks.

I read that introverts don’t enjoy small talk, for them it takes too much energy. Their interests and passions usually lie in deeper subjects. Yeah, and I think of myself as an extrovert.

There are more egregious allegations of sexual abuse committed by Catholic priests in the Philadelphia area. Judging by the Church’s track record, using the word allegations is generous.

This clown John Brennan is straight out of a Jason Bourne movie. He could be the dirtiest of all the swamp creatures.

The Democratic National Committee and the “Deep State” was hellbent on their puppet, Hillary Clinton becoming president. They deserve what they got!

Trump is starting to remind me of Dorothy. He has pulled the curtain away and exposed the jerk-offs behind it.

I am heading to Atlanta this weekend to visit an old friend. I haven’t seen her in a while and she misses her mommy and daddy.

Let’s Meet Halfway

Let’s Meet Halfway

August 8, 2018 By Rich Siegel

Trump has figured out how to tell his truth without telling the truth. That is a powerful deceptive talent.

via GIPHY

Carl Bernstein wants to do both. Ask a question, then give you what he perceives to be the right words for the answer. Yeah, he’s an unbiased journalist.

The recent fire in California got me to thinking about climate change. The earth is evolving and changing, always has, always will.

I have another confession to make. My ideologies lean to the West. Yes, California, that includes you.

Speaking of the left coast, they have decided to give a good portion of state land back to Native Americans. None of that land is coastline of course.

Rudy Giuliani is crazier than a looney bird. Still, based on my observations, he is a pretty effective counsellor. Rumor has it when the going gets tough Trump is his own counsel.

“You can break my heart but I ain’t going to run.” I imagine Tom Petty was a hard guy to scare off.

Certain news stations should start studying their own polls. Very few people give a shit about a meeting at Trump Tower with the Russians about dirt on Hilary Clinton. We’re convinced she’s filthy.

Breaking news on CNN: President Trump has told over 4,229 lies since becoming president. I’d like to meet the person or persons who decipher the specific lie relative to the specific truth.

I believe a free press is essential in any form of Democracy. I don’t believe in the press writing their narrative and then reporting only the news that goes along with their narrative.

How can you interpret what my intent is? That sounds like a reverse oxymoron to me.

Urban Meyer is the head football coach at Ohio State University. Let us assume he knew something about the abusive relationship his assistant coach had with his own wife. Should Urban Myer be considered a conspirator?

Anita Hill is as credible as any woman I have heard talk about workplace sexual harassment. Her predator has been a Supreme Court Justice for nearly 30 years. Where is the “Me Too” movement when you need them?

I am not a fanboy of Roseanne Barr, but she insinuated something that made some sense to me at the time she said it. Racism is the millennials’ 1950’s Communism.

The devisiveness in our country and around the world is real. No matter which side you fall on, it is crucial that we try to meet halfway.

One of the major divides is between “How to create wealth vs. how to take wealth. When the latter gets ahead the Civil War Part II will begin filming.

Based purely on observation, I believe that it is possible my mind can be read. To think it can be controlled by anyone but me is another thing.

I have a feeling that the Mueller report will be a tiny speck in the scheme of United States’ history. Mr. Mueller is rounding up the usual peripheral suspects.

If Donald Trump is anything, he is a tremendous salesman. From first-hand experience, sales people tend to take all the credit.

 

First it was Oprah, now it is LeBron James who is running for president. If I had to vote for one, I’d vote for LeBron, he’s already been a king.

 

Every rose has its thorn. Just like every night has its dawn, just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song.

Trump sees the mid-term elections as a great sales opportunity. He is out “barnstorming”, mixing scripted propaganda with his ad libs. This combination is quite the show.

A recent Rasmussen poll claims Trump’s approval rating with African Americans is up from 15% to 29%. Is that smoke and mirrors or is there something to it?

The press is not the enemy!! President Trump needs to stop saying it.

The president, not unlike the media, needs to be held accountable and find a middle ground. That starts with both making some concessions. Unfortunately, they are both far too obstinate.

Whoever is in charge of “hocus pocus” in the democratic party needs to make Nancy Pelosi disappear. As in being taken out of politics.

Kaitlan Collins is a great asset to CNN. She replaces Nia Malia Henderson as my favorite political reporter. Both of them deliver the CNN party line softly.

People I respect have told me I am disingenuous in my claims of being a middle-of-the-roader in regards to politics. (They made valid points). Let me set the record straight. I voted for Trump. My rhetoric doesn’t always back it up, but I feel better in the middle.

I love seeing and hearing August in the northeast. The sunsets, the deep greens, the snap of the waves, the thunder, but mostly that nightly song the peepers sing as the fireflies dance.

Trump is Changing The Game

Trump is Changing The Game

July 28, 2018 By Rich Siegel

Mr. Trump would have more cedibility if he included Fox News in his “fake news” comments. I actually think Hannity, Ingraham, and Carlson are Trump’s shadow cabinet.

“Never to suffer would have never to have been blessed.” Edgar Allan Poe. Without the contrast, you would not make the distinction.

In California they are now allowing illegal immigrants to vote in school board elections. Imagine moving to Mexico without becoming a citizen and voting in their elections.

No matter how challenging it is at times, I want to be a believer. In regard to the true nature of people, that is.

It is about time someone looks under the hood of the FBI. Somebody needs to give them a tune up.

Mr. Putin is a crafty old fox who is a KGB agent at heart. Trump can’t understand how he thinks. Putin is the fox, chasing Trump the dog.

Let me get this straight. It is a fact that Russia meddled in 2016 American elections, and it is also a fact that no one named Trump colluded with the enemy?

Maybe Mr. Trump should have gone to Helsinki using President Obama’s techniques to stop Putin’s antics. “Knock it off, or else.” That is always very effective with men named Vladimir.

It is continually reported that Trump and Putin met alone for two hours, along with two interpreters. Somebody should check to make sure those two are still alive.

Sean Hannity and Don Lemon make me think of two diverse religions. There is no way both of them can be right or wrong.

Mick Jagger turned 75 years old on July 26, 2018. I figure he is only half way through the party.

I enjoyed watching Tiger Woods in Scotland last week making an impressive step towards a historic comeback. It looks like his difficult journey has caused him to lose quite a bit of hair.

It is true almost every time. Old men still trying to play boys games, wearing a hat, are making a vain attempt to hide what their missing.

I have given my two daughters unconditional love and support since the day they were born. Note to other fathers: NOT ONCE did I stick my nose in THEIR personal business!!!

“Originality is nothing but judicious imitation.” Voltaire came up with a few lines that are worth repeating.

Fiction can uncover the truth reality hides. Don’t I know it.

I try to talk to everyone starting from the other person’s position. Since all individuals are different, and have had varying life experience, how could I not be a chameleon?

Ask someone where they were on 9/11. If they don’t know, they’re probably not 21.

Former chief Democrat Sheldon Silver of The New York State Assembly was recently sentenced to 7 years behind bars. Nice to see the chickens come home.

A few years back former head Republican of the New York State Assembly, Joe Bruno did time in the slammer. The corruption goes on and on and on…

The Democrats continue to get close to 90% of the vote from the African American community. That’s pretty good loyalty to a political party that certainly hasn’t earned it.

Trump may be talking sweet to Putin, still, he has not withdrawn a single sanction. Also, Obama knew all about Russia’s influence and expelled 35 Russian diplomats in retaliation this past December. BIG DEAL.

Comey, Brennan, and Clapper, at their best, are clowns, at their worst traitors. They politicized the FBI, CIA, and the DOJ. They all should have their security clearances revoked.

In the summertime, I love grilling the long Boar’s Head hotdogs. This past Sunday, for the first time, I realized I am digesting a lot of string.

According to recent NBC and CNN polls, President Trump’s approval rating is at 45%, the highest it has been during his presidency. Please, explain to me what that means?

Chef Trump is not buttering Iran up before frying. Different recipes for different dishes.

Am I hearing this correctly? President Trump’s lawyer has released a recording he secretly taped while discussing business with a client.

The outrage is over Trump screwing and then paying off pornstars? Or because Cohen paid and Trump failed to report the loan? Segments of this country have totally lost their minds.

Please, please, keep on underestimating me. Yes, I am aware I am exposing my arrogance, but you shouldn’t care. I meant exposing the doubters ignorance.

I have noticed many of my New York friends are plotting a strategy regarding where to grow weed. No, I am invested over my head, I only plan on being a good client.

Jason Chaffetz, who was a member of Congress for eight years, has written a book called the “Deep State”. He claims the book contains evidence it does exist.

I get it now. President Trump should present the media with a written plan outlining his complete strategies for dealing with our enemies.

For a country that vigorously believes in freedom of speech, you sure have to be very careful about what you say. The First Amendment has turned into a paradox.

“We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden,” A good thought as we approach the 49th anniversary of ‘Woodstock’.

As a man it is difficult to fully understand the long-term pain of any woman who has been a victim of abuse. I support the “Me Too” movement. Still, I think I am allowed to be crabby with people in Hollywood, who were not victims, and who knew about Harvey Weinstein’s crimes for all those years and remained silent. To them I say, apologize, or shut the fuck up. Meryl, and Oprah I appreciate you reading my blog.

Two Machiavellian Guys Who Want To Make Their Countries Great Again

Two Machiavellian Guys Who Want To Make Their Countries Great Again

July 17, 2018 By Rich Siegel

The United States is no longer the shining city on the hill, or the moral leader of the Western hemisphere? I guess it was getting too expensive to retain that reputation.

Keep it simple. Donald Trump is not diplomatic, he is rarely politically correct, he is not presidential, he is not what we like to think of as stable. Still, Americans elected him President. I believe it is a direct result of whence came before.

I saw the movie ‘On Chesil Beach’ recently. It was a very good thing I went alone because I am a gosh darn cry baby.

Tab Hunter died last week at the age of 86. I remember my mother had a wicked schoolgirl crush on the man.

A young man , frustrated with not being not as “normal” as most of us, posed a thoughtful question as he gave me a ride home late one night. “Who is responsible?”

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind.” A Bible verse, I think. (Romans 12:2)

My daughter Laura is at the starting line of the “real world.” If being prepared for the game is a key, she is going to be one hell of a player.

Laura has chosen to start her trail in Atlanta, Georgia working for an advertising firm. Thank you to her mother for showing our girls what an independent career woman looks like.

My daughter Mary Kate is an intern this summer for the minor league baseball team the Hudson Valley Renegades. I think she signed on because she thought it was a club for rebels.

In the fall Mary Kate will be begin her final year at Ithaca College. I have 14 semesters of college paid for, only two left (not that I have been counting).

I don’t make many suggestions to my daughters, but I am going to make one right now: If you have children name the first one Judge. Think about the kindergaten teacher calling role.

Intellect should be the biggest priority in selecting our Supreme Court Justices. The Democrats were not going to like anybody Trump picked, but I think Brett Kavanaugh was a pretty good choice.

I guess it is human to think you are much smarter than your parents. I guess we are not as smart as we think.

Now that everyone in the cave is secure, I feel politically safe in saying this: The coach should be put in some sort of penalty box.

I can always change my mind, so I am listening harder to Don Lemon. Let’s just say he is starting to make a dent.

A very wise man reminded me recently of a lesson that I too often forget. I’m rendering, of course, “Focus on what is in front of you.”

Continuing to paraphrase: “Your eyes and your body language tell as much, if not more of the story than your words.” Control those and your words will increase in value.

If you are convinced you are in it for the long run it becomes easier to make the right decision. It has something to do with the combination of patience and virtue.

I do understand the concern there is about Putin and Trump meeting one on one. Two Machiavellian guys who want to make their countries great again.

Should the first colony on Mars be a democracy? One of the many interesting questions posed in an article Bob Berta posted called ‘Survival of the richest: the wealthy are plotting to leave us behind.

He can spin a story with the best of them, but Peter Strzok has left a terrible stain on the FBI. Agents investigating Russian interference in our elections should not make the type of bad judgements he has made.
