The Las Vegas Raiders ? Another City heartbroken...
The Las Vegas Raiders.. The Silver and Black is Now The Silver and Black Jack.. What a team?,, Why not call the the Traiders,,!!, hehe.. This team is Oakland,, and when they left to LA win a Super Bowl , then move back o Oakland,,, only to leave for Sin city... Thus the Traiders.. I don't feel bad for the team.. They are players getting big money and maybe more with move.. Its the Fans,,, Just like San Diego,, The Bay area,, gets screwed over and that sucks.. I grew up briefly in the Bay are Oakland and hated every minute I was there.. Its not a cozy city , it has it characters, criminals thugs , etc.. I know not everyone is a Gang Banger , but it sure felt that way..
Now this.. what a horrible thing to do to a city that loves their team , just like San Diego, But raiders fans are loyal.. but moving just like that must hurt them.. They must feel betrayed for a second time,,, That must hurt. Do I think the Raiders will be successful.. No way,, Sin city has too many temptations of sex , drugs and rock and roll.. Its too much to ask a Coach to control the actions of young horny or old players.. It will be a challenge,, and because of that I predict the raiders will be brought back down to earth... and finish last in the AFC or battle the LA Chargers..
Being heartbroken is horrible is like breaking up with a long time girl , only to be dropped like a bad habit.. I don't feel anything per se for management, to them it makes sense.. Las Vegas , gambling, new arena. Plus the Raiders will travel to Vegas .. Its what the raider fans do.. But Being in a city full of sin and more sin, its hard to see the raiders having a winning record . What shame? I mean they were building quite the offense , and the defense has potential. But going to a new local with all the distractions of girls, hookers , stripper , bars , clubs.. etc.. This will be a huge mistake, But Vegas will prosper and visiting teams .. will get their chance to visit sin city for a reason.. Watch their football team.. I see $ signs and probably more fans attending their teams as they play in vegas..
For the Oakland fans I feel for you, its not fair , its not cool, but think about it.. All owners want to make money, and This move was inevitable, and to be honest it makes alot of dollars and sense. The Las Vegas Raiders ,, The Silver and Black. Jack,, just sound right. But for the fans of Oakland,, i bet they are angry betrayed Just like the Chargers moving to LA and playing in a soccer stadium.. What the heck? But both owners feel , this wil make their team more valuable and that's what they want. As far as football success we can sure bet both the Chargers and Raiders will struggle in their new venues, and This will help the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos , battle for the AFC WEST TITLE AND WILD CARD SPOT.. While the Las Vegas Raiders and LA Chargers will flounder and basically suck ass. But this is the NFL = NO FAIR LEAGUE, And because of that , I see these moves being awful in the first or two season. But after that ONly god Knows,, But I don't expect much success in those two teams next year and I see may fans being heartbroken..
Bottom line.. It was done for $ and it will pay off in the long run, BUt ideally I see many issues that Will make Jack del Rio lose his hair.. Another heartbroken city and =a team that will struggle with so many young players in the city of sin. Good luck Coaches.. The Silver and Black Jacks are coming!!

Life is about connections.. Inspired by life experiences..
Life is about Connections . Inspired by life experience's....
\Life is about connections. I like meeting new people all the time. Its been a part of my mental make up. I mean I was a Navy brat traveled around had to make friends fast .. and then move on.. Believe me,, at times it was hard to leave new found friends only to leave and make friends again. I guess you can say I had to learn how to small talk,, you know sports , movies , music.. life news.. that's small talk,,, and I was a master at that. But I'm a deep thinker , maybe even a overly critical thinker. It makes life tough because I over think things or think bad results . I need to be more positive,, which I feel I am.. But also know that the many life hardships made me what I am.. A happy go lucky man who wants to enjoy life because I have seen death and destruction. I have seen the poor countries of the world and the pain and suffering.. But you know something places like Thailand , Indonesia, The P.I . Cabo San Lucas, you see the real people the down to earth folks.. Its crazy , they are happy to see us Americans.maybe because we spend our pay checks , maybe because we are funny to talk to. But mainly I think because they get to meet people.. Make connections..I know I have touched many people in may lands and felt special. Maybe they do it for a quick buck. selling their goods and services. I mean , after months at sea sailors want to relax,, drink some beers, see the sights , listen to good music,,, Act silly among our brothers in arms.. I mean,, despite the hardships , the many lonely days and nights. when we go on Liberty call.. that's when you get to leave the ship and be back for duty days , that can be the next day or 3-4 days later or even 10 days later like I had on the USS Princeton.. Probably my best time at sea and some of my fondest memories.. The Movies nights , the Karaoke contest's , the guitar playing and singing with friends... Is one of the best times I had.. We would laugh , scream ,, fight,, and then be friends again. Its hard to carry a grudge in the Military , because we have to see each other every day.. So any issues you had.. you worked them out.. It sometimes meant wrestling in the berthing, or on liberty call.. But it was something we had to do.. We had to have connections among everyone.
Now back to connections.. I found that in life you rarely find people that totally click .?!?!?. What I mean its hard to find people that think , or act or feel the same things you feel. Like My best friend in high school Jo, is the best friend ever because , no matter how little we talk or what once we get together or call and talk its like we never missed a beat. We can talk for hours about nothing.? Makes sense.. ??Well that's rare I know. I also know life is fleeting.. I lost my mama some 20 years ago.. For some that's a life time. I went to San Diego and purchased new flowers and I prayed and shared with her my life .. My career , and my new found friends who feel like life long friends.. G, is really a cool guy , we click, I mean at work.. we act so gay.. people think we are..!! We laugh , we sing to one another.. Its like a brother from another mother. I mean .. Sometimes our comedy skits are off the hook. But despite our ages , and where we grew up.. We both like to look and feel good , we like to make people happy .. Its a cool connection, I'm thankful God has brought good friends in my life.. My other friend I call her.. B.. is really cool.. Why? Because she listens and doesn't judge me,, lets me be me. and whats that? A sensitive , caring , yet hard working person that likes to be liked by everyone. But we all know how hard you try someone is a hater.. Oh,, he's such a Kiss ass, a brown noser,,!!! He's so politically correct or he's so proper..Its weird.??. How.??. I affect people , I mean every time I left a command.. people would tear up and tell me... Its not going to be the same at work..I know I was the motivator, I was the attention seeker, the loud mouth , the comedian.. The Source.. I mean I can or could talk about anything.. Sports , Politics. religion.. Life.. etc.. and it made people happy. I mean the connections or people I touched in my life has made me very happy. But I know life is short ..special.. You have to take care of your family and friends.. I love my boys very much , they are my pride and joy, they both are going through their growing pains.. and I see it..I recall those days,, But I'm letting them grow up.. we all make mistakes,, I know I have. But I also know.. I have very few true friends.. idea for another blog??.. What is a true friend..? But anyways. I feel you can only truly have a handful of true Friends.. Because , it takes time and effort to be concentrated on true friendships. I found that having a few friends you can help them in need. I know if any of my friends.. asked for help,, I would. if I could,, but I know the problem is,,!! We have families , we have work , we have school or hobbies to take us away from truly spending quality time with friends. But what really counts in life is having connections. because when you truly connect with someone.. Its the most wonderful thing to have.!!! Thats why I thank God for bringing these two newly found friends into my life. Because with friends , we choose to be with them, unlike family , friends are important because they make you whole.. Like G does when we act and sing and dance.. or like B , by just being sweet and nice and reflective. Both these Friends bring out the best of me.. Which is ===, a combination Jock / Thinker. I'm that Alpha Male , with thought and sensitivity , if that makes sense.???. I know ... I'm very misunderstood.by so many people . I mean , MY sports blog are in your face , reality , while my life blogs can be reflective, it can be emotional , sensitive and down right tear jerking. But that's me..!! I'm a different type of person, who has never found his match or peer. All I know is.. that I'm happy with my life and what direction its going. I find pleasure in seeing my friends every day and having good talks with everyone. But I also know the Connections I have with my current friends is really inspirational and beautiful. Its true God does work in Mysterious ways.. ? I'm not sure how the rest of my life goes , but I'm so happy I have friends that have taken the time to spend time with me and together help each other get through life..
The moral of this blog.. Meet people, develop friendships, bonds,, connections. Because the true friends stay around for life, Like Jo , Like Tony , Like Jason , Like Greg , and now Like Benz.. and Annie, my sister,, she has become one of my beloved friends, she listens , she advises and she encourages me so much.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzthere is one thing all my friends have in common..
THEY TRULY LET MEL BE MEL.. NO JUDGEMENTS , NO WORRIES , NO HANG UPS.. they let me be the phone blowing up friend with texts or messages at weird times of the day and night.. the overly sensitive and reactionary friend.. the actor , the show off , the clown.. They let me be the thinker , the observer.. of life. I know life is fleeting.. and now that I have such wonderful friends.. I feel like if anything.. They can live my spirit and share the great times they had with me , because I'm so blessed I have such wonderful people in my life.. I enjoy every day ,because one day i pray i make it to heaven !!!I will be In . and be with other loved ones , like MY MOM, MY GRANDMA.. I miss them so much..!! But I know the best way to keep their legacy in tact.. I try to be like them.. Loving , Caring and Generous.. I truly believe In Karma.. What goes around Comes Around.. You treat people how you want to be treated.
Have a great day and thank you for taking time to read my blogs!!

What the LA Chargers need? 2017...
What the LA Chargers need? 2017..
First off they need to be healthy. losing Keenan Allen , Danny Woodhead , Jason Verrret , Manti Teo , Brandon Oliver .. Addae, Gordon at the end.. Just killed the Chargers. You cant keep losing key players and expect to win , especially in the very competitive AFC WEST which has all past SUPER BOWL WINNERS IN THE DENVER BRONCOS , OAKLAND RAIDERS AND THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS.. I know the Raiders and Chiefs were many years ago,, But at least they won.. The Chargers have had some success but you have to win the Big game.. which they haven't done in 55 years of existence..
The Chargers have many needs , Offensive line, A big body wie out ala. Vincent Jackson, Malcolm Floyd,, and a solid third down back like sproles like,, Maybe Hillman Oliver or newly acquired Kenyon Barner? They need a special back that catch run and block when needed. Danny Woodhead was great at that role , but his injury issues and age over 30.. kinda doomed his fate.. The off season we need to see who can step up?
Now .. Defense , we need a another pass rusher like Bosa , since the bolts have decided to build the defense around Bosa. The Linebackers of Perry , Perryman and Brown are good against the run but they lack cover speed,,, Perry man is good , but another fast ,line backer would help.. The Chargers have the 7th pick and based on the NFL combine and you tube videos of Jabril Peppers. the Chargers would be foolish to pass on such a play maker,, He may be undersized at the position but his speed is too much over look and if need be.. Use him as a safety.. Because Addae and Lowery are serviceable but not pass coverage safeties.. Thank goodness we have two number 1 , corners and proven pro bowlers in Verret and Heyward. As for special teams , its definitely our weakest link, the Punter Kaiser is awful. He;s not consistent and put the chargers in bad field positions , one of the reason the chargers lost so many games last year. Now for Lambo, he may have a strong leg , but under stress he missed critical field goals and extra points.. In addition the blocking was horrible on both squads. The Chargers need a solid punt and kick returner. Keenan needs to concentrate on offense and Benjamin was a disappointment. Based on reports Benjamin was playing hurt through out the season. But then again the bolts have injury issues. Perhaps a new physical trainer and therapist. it seems like alot of wholes to fill and to be honest it is. But that's why we have upcoming drafts and free agency , trades etc.. Based on the AFC WEST foes.. its going to be a tough year for the Chargers .. Being swept by the Raiders , Broncos and Chiefs have been the norm the past 2 years. All those teams have better coaching staffs and players as well as consistency .. Yes even the Raiders are doing better. I would Take Jack Del Rio over the current charger coach , or Even Andy Reid.. But that's another matter. Its going to interesting to see how the chargers do. Unless they fill those needs
Offensive line - Like tackles and Guards
Third down running back
Big body wide out ...
Defense
faster cover line backer
a fast and strong defensive end to book end Joey Bosa.
2 safeties.. Both are ok, But not true cover safeties. and the AFC west has good wide outs as well as tight ends.. the chargers have struggled against teams with solid pass catching tight ends and running backs as well as running quarterbacks..
The special teams need a more consistent kicker and punter of them cost the chargers a few games last year and if they come back , they need to improve and be more consistent , or the chargers are ready to lose more heart breaking games next year..
The new defensive coordinator. hmm???. He was Jacksonville jaguars coach.. they were terrible last year , so Go figure you hire a losing teams coach..?
The head coach .. basically a running back coach with no head coaching experience.. other than being a interim coach when Rex Ryan was fired../ ? Once again , a questionable hire, but the Chargers are famous for hiring questionable coaches, ala Norv Turner and Mike Mccoy ,, together , they have put this team back ten years.. Its been a long time since this team was relevant and based on the new hires in the coaching staff I'm not impressed at all..
Suggestions: If you can Pick up big body wide out from USC JUJU SMITH,, or Adore Jackson as the special teams star.. That could trigger LA fans to take a look at the team.. But you must lower those ticket prices at the stub hub.. Based on reports , fans are not biting to pay extravagant prices for a minor league stadium.. ? How dare the spanos Family insult the LA FAN BASE? i mean Dodgers, Angels, Trojans, Bruins , Kings , Lakers , Clippers and even the raiders will attract more than the transplanted chargers. ?I dont understand, but then again.. they are the worst management organization in the NFL.. second to none,. But lets see what happens. If anything I feel bad for Philip Rivers and Antonio gates who gave their hearts and souls for the team , only to be relegated to promoting a rebuilding process, They both know this team are not contenders until those needs are filled and though they might be exciting and might play better. But Those needs and weaknesses will rear its ugly head as the season progresses. The Chargers have a tough schedule and with question marks about Allen and no Big body wide out and no solid slot or wide out , the offense looks like a work in progress. Then the defense , with a new scheme and coaching staff. expect growing pains and if your a charger fan. Expect inconsistent play with young players and aging veterans. My prediction for the Chargers based on their needs and their schedule .. I see or predict a another 4to 6 win season, with maybe a win or 2 in the AFC WEST.. AND THATS being generous, because the Chargers are playing 16 road games next year, when they play the Raiders in stub hub.. That's another home game for the raiders,, But let them play the games.. and see what happens?? based on the history of injuries and losing ,, and now a new coaching staff.. Don't expect a good or average season next year, but I will be watching because I'm a sucker for punishment like many charger fans.BUT.. ATLEAST WE HAVE LT ,, BEING INDUCTED IN THE NFL HALL OF FAME.. AS A SAN DIEGO CHARGER. HE will be the last great San Diego Charger to be inducted and that's something to look forward to this year!!!

NEW FOUND FRIENDS- BROTHERS FROM THE MILITARY..
New Found Friends - Brother from the Military...Inspired by Greg and Kai!!
I have been out of the military now.. 5 years.. wow times flies.. I really thought life after the military would be smooth. But it has been if still the hardest transition I have gone through. I mean think about it. I joined in the 90's in the heat of The Persian Gulf war , and then came Dessert Storm and all the other operations.. I don't miss the long ass watches or the boring lectures we had to deal with. i don't miss the long hours cleaning for inspections or doing endless inventory or painting spaces over and over again. I don't miss the long deployments where I was so depressed and lonely. But what I do mi..ss more than ever is the " Camaraderie, the team work, the brother hood , we had in the Military...,.....The day and nights were we would get o lonely and depressed you could Always count on that one buddy that one shipmate that one person that would listen to your fears and see the tears in the eyes.. Yes.. as bad and as tough as we were taught to be , we are still human and many times those long talks in the barracks or on the ship or on liberty calls.. Would do the trick.. I know through out my 20 years + I had that buddy to carry m through.. Camden .. Tony.. Japan.. Renfroe,,Princeton,, Solo. Coronado.---Rob.... ??haha Princeton.. Everyone... haha.. Peleliu..Jason.. It was tough to lead people because ,, they hate people that take charge that make you do things , but you need that ass hole.. to make sure things got done.. Sometimes. I let that ass hole come home with me I''m sorry ma.. she went through too much shit wth me,, putting up with that arrogant asshole .. that I'm good at it...
But now after 5 years of jumping around jobs..I think I finally found a place where I can grow and be happy. I like the new place I work at.. I find the new friendships in G and K.. just initials,,, because I learned too much info is not good. But these two former Marines, have brought out the leader in me. I feel more focused about things. I can see clearly.. what a true man has to be.. Its funny how someone younger can teach THINGS ABOUT YOU,. But THESE TWO guys have shown me that I can be cool guy , a motivating guy that looks to do well at work or life..If anything.. I hope I can truly call them life long friends.. I know if my path goes another way ?!?!,, I know if I have to call someone to talk about things, they will listen.. That's what true warriors and brothers do.. I found out I can trust people again.. I know not everyone is going to like you,, That's my problem.. I always think I can win people over. But now that I'm older,, I don't try to be anyone but myself,, Which is a retired Sailor with a Bachelors degree and tremendous pride in America and my family. I really wish my boys to find their ways,, I know they have disappointed me at times.. But I know they must move on and keep going.. I fighting for them.. As for my wife,, I want her to find her happiness and joy in life.. I know I'm still learning about life.. I know I let my ego take over when I should think about making connections in life.. That's me.. I'm so misunderstood. I'm so hard to understand,, its like I want people to like me , but I don't want to get too close,, its like a protective barrier,, But G AND K have opened me up like no other guys or friends can,, and with that I'm so thankful.. I hope to God we reach our goals in life. Because that's what life is about , going out and achieving what you want.. For me.. I want to better myself mentally and physically and be a better father and husband,, But I know words is one thing and actions is another. BUT I feel my new found friends Greg and Kai.. have shown me that true friendship is truly hard to find. To find people you can laugh with, argue with ,,, advise is truly unique. and I'm glad I can them Friends for life.. I rarely say that . but because we all went through Boot camp.. beat downs,, long watches.. We have seen death and destruction,, we have fought boredom and loneliness.. We all have been happy and sad and dealt with the hardships of life.. Because of that we have a bind , many men and women don't know about.. Its truly a gift you can truly call someone a friend... someone that you can turn to when your feeling down.... or just feel comfortable being with.. and say nothing.. I know it must be nice to have such a bond.. But sometimes in life ,,true bonds happen because of common ground,. We all have treaded similar grounds and gone through living hells and now by the Grace of God, brought us together to get us through this phase in my life.. I know it sounds corny to hear or read about grown ass men having a bond. But we just do.. Every day during lunch , we have a ritual.. were we Bring out out chairs and Picnic Mat and we eat out lunches,, and listen to country music.. we talk , we laugh , we take naps.. its the best one hour of the day.. Because the stressors of working... gets to us.. But when we go out there in the parking lot under the sun.. getting our tans on.. Its a bond others at work.. have laughed at. applauded us.. and joined us.. Its what we call " Tailgating" its funny at times we have people honk their horns,, Its like we are camping out .. but its something we all look forward too.. Because we take off our boots , and truly relax for that one hour.. Its a cool ritual a true connection I never had at any of my jobs, since retiring.. Its like for one hour we are reliving our military days.. haha.. I know sounds too funny to be true,, But sometimes reality is so unreal. But to Greg lander and Kai lander my silly nicknames,,, They call me mele mel by the way.. We have started a ritual , I hope keeps going.. Thanks guys for helping find myself.. For those that took time to read my blogs.. Thank you so much. I have over 31,000 page views they call it of my hundreds of blogs.. Thank you so much..

I have been out of the military now.. 5 years.. wow times flies.. I really thought life after the military would be smooth. But it has been if still the hardest transition I have gone through. I mean think about it. I joined in the 90's in the heat of The Persian Gulf war , and then came Dessert Storm and all the other operations.. I don't miss the long ass watches or the boring lectures we had to deal with. i don't miss the long hours cleaning for inspections or doing endless inventory or painting spaces over and over again. I don't miss the long deployments where I was so depressed and lonely. But what I do mi..ss more than ever is the " Camaraderie, the team work, the brother hood , we had in the Military...,.....The day and nights were we would get o lonely and depressed you could Always count on that one buddy that one shipmate that one person that would listen to your fears and see the tears in the eyes.. Yes.. as bad and as tough as we were taught to be , we are still human and many times those long talks in the barracks or on the ship or on liberty calls.. Would do the trick.. I know through out my 20 years + I had that buddy to carry m through.. Camden .. Tony.. Japan.. Renfroe,,Princeton,, Solo. Coronado.---Rob.... ??haha Princeton.. Everyone... haha.. Peleliu..Jason.. It was tough to lead people because ,, they hate people that take charge that make you do things , but you need that ass hole.. to make sure things got done.. Sometimes. I let that ass hole come home with me I''m sorry ma.. she went through too much shit wth me,, putting up with that arrogant asshole .. that I'm good at it...

Missy - My therapy German Shephard..
Missy - My therapy German Shephard..
My Five year old German Shephard is my therapy dog. What do I mean? Well first off shes a rescue dog, a dog that was abandoned , abused by the previous owner. She also was a stray with battle scars on her face. She was very weak and skinny when we first got her some 18 months ago. But since then we MY boys nursed her back to health and now shes very strong and alert. I mean One night some kids , teenagers were banging on my door very aggressively , she woke me up as she barked very loud , if you know German Shephards they're bark is loud and angry.. Well I got up grabbed my shot gun, I mean I wasn't sure what was going on but I went to my door where once again this teenager banged aggressively on my door. I looked out the window I saw a car with teenagers in them. I wasn't about to open my door if they were planning a attack..I know sounds paranoid , but too many stories of break ins,, and home invasions,, so I just watched .. they eventually left.. But that was really creepy,, Thank God for my dog warning me and Thank God I didn't have to use deadly force , because if I do decide to shoot someone is going to be deadly force. If I feel threatened by someone entering my home wit weapons in hand. watch out I will shoot to kill . Ok.. I know that sounds barbaric, but I'm not jeopardizing my family to taking any chances on some drugged out kids or young adults looking for money or what not/
ok.. Back to my dog.. I enjoy walking her because its exercise for the both of us. Being older I don't do much running anymore.. I do alot of walking .. with mu dog and doing bag work and lightweight lifting. But I also like stretching.. Being older being nimble is so important, our muscles need it. But back to my dog.. when we walk I think about life , about whats been going on at work.. It helps me relax and unwind.. especially the weather is SOCAL is so nice now.. But its also therapy for the many years I went through.. The stress of being alone , the stress of being away from family and friends.. The stress of war , the stress of conflicts.. the stress of long watches , the stress of seeing death or picking up pilots who crashed in the oceans, Its not a nice sight to see anyone from all branches of services be brought on board and stored in our freezers for the next port.. Let me tell you this,, the smell of death or dead corpses is a smell I wish I could forget , and its stressful to think I seen so many burials at sea and seen and attended so many funerals of shipmates ,, it not cool at all, But its what the military life is and to be honest its not for everyone.. Sometimes I wonder if it was really meant for me. I mean I;m a emotional , sensitive proudful person that knows how to fight.. Some might say that's a deadly combination.. Perhaps, But I feel my passion for US navy ..and for The country I defended and served is like no other. We vets or retirees, we fought , we killed , we saw others fight and die for the flag,, that to us the flag is more than a symbol of THE USA,, it represents everyone who fought and died for this country , military and or civilians. recall 9/11 that changed everything for everyone and the Flag we draped on coffins , the flag we wave to others and flown on ships and bases and our personal homes or trucks and cars .. displayed the Spirit of True Americans.. that's why idiots that burn the flag or refuse to stand in honor of it. Can burn in hell I have no need or respect for you,Ok.. Freedom of speech ,, so be it.. But I don't care for you either. America needs people that respect the flag and those who fought for our freedoms.. But that's another blog.. Tonight. Its about taking a walk with my faithful dog,, and helping me calm down each day and night and helping deal with the many years of service i had and the stressors I had to deal with.. I know people don't understand retirees, we are proud stubbborn , hard headed,, folks that are dead set in our ways and perhaps to prideful to back down. But its the way we are wired.. We just have a different code . we live by , HONOR , COURAGE AND COMMITMENT , UNIT , DIVISION , GOD , COUNTRY.. its a tough one to live by and if you never served you don't understand.. But anyways,, I'm happy I have a dog that heps me deal with stress I incurred during my 20 + years of service to this country. Sometimes I wonder why the hell I did it. But deep down inside.. I'm glad I did , because the 5 years I have been out of the military,, I 'm still trying to find peace and solace at my job site which I'm striving to do.. Well Have a great day and Thanks for reading my blogs..

Charger News- March ,2017.. Free Agent Frenzy...
The Chargers .2017...
I'm still upset the San Diego Chargers of 55 years left for Los Angeles..or Carson for 2 years.I Mean going to a soccer stadium holding 27,000 and charging 2-3 times more for tickets .. is ridiculous especially the team has been a loser for most of the 55 years .. Good luck getting La fans to buy in.. I mean The Dodgers, Lakers , Trojans and Bruins are ell established and lets not forget the raiders.. But done is done now. back to business.
The Chargers resign Addae,,, good move hes the hit man in that secondary,, he also helps or inspires Lowery to play better. I still think they need a safety either in the draft or through free agency..
The Chargers let go of Danny Woodhead.. Man.. I love that guy short stout and smart but a bit injury prone.. But the Chargers are stacked in running back squad.. Gordon , Williams , Oliver and Hillman might be the starting line up already..
Signing of Russel Okung was great , a bit of trivia he won Super bowls with the Seatte Seahawks and Denver Broncos respectively,, lets see if that magic rbs off,, doubt it , but wishful thinking.. He did say Gordon reminding him of Marshawn Lynch,, wow,!!, That's a great compliment , but lets see if that's true as much as I like Gordon , he has failed to play a full season... Ah.. how LT spoiled Charger fans, by always playing.. .. ok..
Letting go of fluker, a bit confused on that one, probably more business minded then playing ability.. because he signed with the contending NY Giants. who are making great moves.. The signing of Brandon Marshall was awesome.. That team is stacked on offense and remember they swept the cowboys last year..
Now the Chargers also let go of Stevie Johnson and Brandon flowers.. not surprised they are aging vets that demand higher salaries,,, Plus both has under performed despite their past greatness. Now the Chargers need to make other decisions.. like Manti teo , or drafting another defensive linemen to help bosa. Just a reminder they are turning into a 4--3 defense. I like Bosa, Ingraham and Mebane.. but we need another strong rusher ..
So far a average rate on their moves.. I'm more eager about the April Draft.. Like drafting Peppers with the 7 th pick or even Mike Williams at wide receiver.. I also Like Juju Smith from USC.. that could spark interest from the LA market.. or better ,yet Grab Adore Jackson from USC.. hes was a beast with his corner back play ,he;s wide out plays and special teams td's.. He could draw people in to that small venue in Carson.. Are the chargers making the right moves.. It looks like it. But time will tell the chargers have many holes to fill like Offensive guards, a safety , faster running backs and yes a quarterback for the future.. We still have issues on special teams , the kicker and punter are average at best and need work.. They cost the chargers a few games with missed kicks and bad punts. Yes the chargers lost alot of games by a score or less, but that's the NFL.. you have to be consistent in playing and coaching.. I'm holding judgement on the coaching staff. But hiring another inexperienced Head Coach and a defensive coordinator from Jacksonville.. check their record out they were losers.. and changing the defensive scheme? Doesn't look like a formula for winning next year. They the chargers have a tough schedule and playing the Broncos , Chiefs and Raiders , could mean another long season.. They only beat one team from that group and thats because the head coach was sick and Mike Mccoy was able to out coach the special teams coach.. barely... Well charger fans. reality is.the chargers are rebuilding.. and it might take awhile , kind of like the Raiders.. the chargers are now the raiders of the past. Old team, with a slow quarterback and a inconsistent receiving corps and a aging tight end.. The defense is actually fun to watch as they center their scheme around Joey Bosa... But if the chargers don't play better on offense.. and special teams expect another 5-11 year or worst.. Another year of key injuries to their stars like Allen or Oliver or the offensive line.. Or losing Verret at corner could make this season hard to watch.. But so far so good and Lets see if any.. more free agent moves they make. May you have a great day and night and always take care!!

My sunday cruise on Route 395 in Fallbrook Ca. March 12,2017
My Sunday Cruise on Route 395 in Fallbrook Ca. March 12,2017..\\\
Well today in SOCAL, it was a nice and sunny day round 80's summer shorts and t shirt weather. Laid back Sunday. I had to find a UPs store that was open, the ones in my area were closed on sundays. Thank goodness for the UPS store in Fallbrook. Well anyways , Black beauty my late model Muscle car was ready for the ride... I was listening to Van Halen and making the winding twists and turns on route 395. It was fun except I had slow ass drivers in front of me. Well anyways, just driving on that path was cool seeing the trees along the road.. and just seeing a small city atmosphere in California.. You would nevr imagine there are still small town communities in SOCAL.. everyone THINKS OF THE big cities and the not so big cities, I mean places like Corona, Moreno Valley , and Riverside have 200,000 plus people.. Even places like Temecula and Murrieta , are hovering around 100,000 and more .. Even Lake Elsinore has 60,000 people and growing..
But back to the drive, its fun driving a high powered muscle car , the roar of the exhaust the power of engine is so surreal and energizing. I guess its a man thing or a boy thing. Ever since I can recall I always loved loud mufflers exhaust systems and powerful engines roaring, I know so of the new age folks don't care for loud engines or exhaust or loud stereos, but hey,, my generation,,, late sixties born.. we love that sound.. We also love listening to music with balls with substance. Not like today, everything is copy cat , or samples of other songs.. I know .. I like the older folks that gripe about today's music , or cars , or movies or what. Buts its true , today's cars , music and movies don't have the same feelings that the older movies had.. I mean you look at today's car everything is aero dynamic and everything looks like the next. No originality or style.. I mean only few cars catch y attention . Like The Dodge Challenger or Charger of the Ford Mustang , or the Chevy Camaro or Corvette.. make me take double takes.. But I also like how today's monster trucks look like the Dodge Rams or the Ford Raptor or the Chevy trucks,, very nice . I also dig what people do with their Jeeps.. But the other cars are just copy cats.. Its what I notice when I drove around today in Fallbrook.. Like I said it was a nice ride ,, to and back home through that nice and scenic route 395.. I also like doing the Ortega high way route too , or the 101 highway heading towards the Bay area.. But that's for another blog. If your in the mood for a scenic route that might remind you of driving in Small town America. Maybe,, taking a nice Sunday drive to Fallbrook.. They also have a nice gun range and small ma and pa shops to check out.. ok.. Well have a great day and if you ever in the Socal area near the I-15.. MAKE A DETOUR TO FALLBROOK AND CHECK OUT THAT ROUTE.. it might settle your mind and make you realize California has small town feelings , if you seek them out.. Take care and drive safe. Remember to have your drivers license and insurance paper with you and obey the laws.. because tickets are expensive I know.. But I do enjoy letting Black beauty show her speed as long its on long roads with very little traffic.. which I find usually on early sunday morning in SOCAL..
Until my next blog.. take Care always and be happy and safe!!

Like The Dodge Challenger or Charger of the Ford Mustang , or the Chevy Camaro or Corvette.. make me take double takes.. But I also like how today's monster trucks look like the Dodge Rams or the Ford Raptor or the Chevy trucks,, very nice . I also dig what people do with their Jeeps.. But the other cars are just copy cats.. Its what I notice when I drove around today in Fallbrook.. Like I said it was a nice ride ,, to and back home through that nice and scenic route 395.. I also like doing the Ortega high way route too , or the 101 highway heading towards the Bay area.. But that's for another blog. If your in the mood for a scenic route that might remind you of driving in Small town America. Maybe,, taking a nice Sunday drive to Fallbrook.. They also have a nice gun range and small ma and pa shops to check out.. ok.. Well have a great day and if you ever in the Socal area near the I-15.. MAKE A DETOUR TO FALLBROOK AND CHECK OUT THAT ROUTE.. it might settle your mind and make you realize California has small town feelings , if you seek them out.. Take care and drive safe. Remember to have your drivers license and insurance paper with you and obey the laws.. because tickets are expensive I know.. But I do enjoy letting Black beauty show her speed as long its on long roads with very little traffic.. which I find usually on early sunday morning in SOCAL..
Until my next blog.. take Care always and be happy and safe!!

WOG DAY 1993.. THE RITE OF PASSAGE..USS CAMDEN AOE 2
WOG DAY 1993 . THE RITE OF PASSAGE USS CAMDEN AOE 2..
Back in the old days of the Navy.. When men were men and boys were boys,, I was ignited,, hazed,, got my ass kicked.. Just imagine a skinny ass kid,, talking shit. and when that day came... I tried to back out,, what a wuss a fucken wimp.. I talked shit but tried to back off. But one of the first classes made sure I did it.. Early that morning I had the top rack.. usually the new sailors get that.well anyways,, they woke us up at 230 or so,, and Sang get up you dirty wogs.. slim balls.. everyone got up.. I tried not.. but this muscle bound freak of a supply guy grabbed me and pulled me out of my rack.. nearly breaking my neck..in fact i was nearly knocked out. in a daze and already bleeding from the nose i had to crawl on my knees and begin the hazing.. Man it was horrible,, people pouring hot sauce, mayo, ketchup whatever on your hair , your back your pants,, we had to bark like dogs,, or sing stupid ass songs,, and repeat whatever those damn shell backs,, told us to do.. I was given special treatment, PUT SC in big letters on my white t shirt,, SC stood for special case.. why? Because before the ceremony .. I conducted a raid on the shell back racks.. tearing them up including officers country.. yea.. pretty fucked up. But I was a rebel dog.. and to think when the day came I tried to wimp out.. But I was given special treatment. I had to go through the ceremony 3 times. I was bloodied, dazed and in great pain.. But I never thought .. to quit,, watching my other shipmates get the treatment like licking another mans belly or having to eat spoiled food or crawl through shit.. yes real shit from the HTS.. it was a gross thing to go through and to be honest i hated those sons of bitches. so much. the verbal abuse , the physical slapping and being hit by fire hoses,, Man I had so many cuts and bruises .. that day.. that I can show you.. But I said Im going to make it.. even though they fucked with me.. every time I got to the end.. they denied me and forced me to go through it again.. and each time It felt the verbal abuse and physical hits were getting harder and harder..at times I wanted to stand up and beat the fuck our of those shell backs.. in fact I think did stand up only to be knocked to the ground.. Maybe I got the harsh treatment because they thought I was the leader. Maybe,, but everyone in my group made it through.. on my third time crawling on the decks and smelling and eating shit.. the pecker checker ..Navy Corpsman . looked at me and said you want to quit? I said fuck no. I'm going to finish,, I mean I went through it 3 times already,, my face was swollen I was bleeding on my face , my knees and elbows. bloodied and sore.. But finally they accepted me as a new Shell back.. and Boy was I happy.. i took off my clothes and threw them over board.. yes. I strippped down to my birthday suit, I mean all my clothes was full of shit , blood tears sweat, I didn't want that crap with me.. well after I did that those sons of bitches sprayed me down with a very cold fire hose of water nearly knocking me over board.. But it was good getting the stinky smell off me..But as we headed to the berthing , we all showered again,. getting that gunk out of hair,, and body.. it was funny.. as we laughed and giggled,, but after wards. we got to eat a feast of a meal.. lobster , steak , potatoes.. cakes,, ice cream.. soda.. I mean. it was pay back for all the shit we literally went through..
That night .. a few us were on the fan tail.. as we retold the stories, of watching each other get our asses kicked.. the funniest was seeing the captain of the ship go through it too. It made us feel good the captain.. did it,, it made us feel close to him a bond,,,, like I said it was a rite of passage to go through that shit to get that card and big ass certificate.. But its the memory of that day I will cherish. and to that first class,, that whopped my ass,, Thank you,, I really needed that to become a team player.. It was a rude awakening going through that first deployment of 7 in total.. But I made it through.. and I know the New Navy.,.. lame ass .. have ended o taken the real ceremonial things away.. I know i went through the real deal.. and It made me the sailor that I became.. I know when it was my time,, to lay the whopping.. on those slimy wogs. I did.. But for that special day crossing the line and having fun with the boys.. i will always cherish that day .. It was fun and my fondest memory.. Oh yea.. We also had a wog queen ..deal. where you dressed up as female and if you were voted the wog queen you were excempt from the festivities..I know it sounds gay.. but sailors do what we have to do.. to get through deployments,, and such.. Yea we acted weird but that's what kept us sane.. Because.. Wog day in 1993 is a day I will recall with both love and hate and I hope I shared those moments with you that never went through such an ordeal.. Like I said.. Its was a rite of passage and created a bond.. and brotherhood you cant duplicate unless you went through it..
Have a great day and stay safe until my next blog!!

Why Retired Veterans deserve their pensions and benefits!!
Why Retired Veterans deserve their pensions and benefits..
First of all I proudly served my Country The United States of America for over 20 years and I'm a proud sailor that sailed the seven seas and seen the many nations that loved us and hated us. It was a long and tough road.. The may years and tears at sea and the many years away from family and friends. But you know something , its something I loved and hated at the same time.. The times I loved it ,, out weighed the times I hated it.. I mean those hot months in the Persian Gulf in hot storerooms or on land dealing with the the heat and humidity and lonely days and nights.. Its funny ,, when we are with the guys ,, we have our talks, whether on watch ,, or on liberty call or doing our many working parties.. for those who don't know , working parties is basically working with your shipmates or marines , moving parts , food or materials on a chain .. which is a line of people moving the items up and down a ship or on the pier or on land .. Its hard work , but its fun too, the jokes , the laughs,, the bull shit stores, the exaggerations of life events,, Its all good.. In fact i don't miss the work.. or what I miss the friendships, the camaraderie , the bind we developed.. i know it sounds gay,, but we loved one another ,and we joked and we cried when those times dictated it.. I mean losing shipmates its still the toughest thing to deal with.. In my time I have seen shipmates die, I have seen suicides , drunk driving that led to deaths..Its a harsh life if you let it get to you,, I mean many times i would think why the hell did I join.. I mean being away from family is tough and at times , you grow different ways , because your away from family... If i had to do it over , i think.. maybe,,I would do it different ,,Maybe be more accommodating to family instead of think about career.. Its no wonder spouses hate their husbands at times.because we force our wives to leave good jobs and friends to support us and at times we take our wives for granted.. Yea.. but its how we think we need to do to survive..
But anyways, we deserve the pensions and benefits , because we are placed in harms way on a daily basis.. because of harsh realities of sea life or war.. I mean at any second if bombs weren't detected or what I could of been dead. I'm thankful for those
professionals that were dedicated to protect us from harm. But we did take chances going on liberty in foreign lands where you weren't sure those people liked you or what. I mean at times I thought or felt the hatred from people in Africa , or the Middle east. But because we didn't care , we went on liberty got drunk, acted like fools and did fool's things.. But the time lost at sea is why we deserve out pensions.. because the times we missed birthdays or the times we missed special moments are lost forever.. and to be honest no amount of money can replace those moments,, and now that my boys are grown.. Man I miss those times when they would run to me and hug me and greet me.. Now they just say hi , if not on their phones or computer games.. Its kinda sad to be honest , but that's life..they will grow up and someday be on their own..and as for me.. I want them to do well ,, and I will do my thing which is dive my muscle car and shoot my guns.. Its funny how my car and guns are so valuable to me.. I treasure them.. Because I find them enjoyable.. something my wife doesn't understand ,, but that's ok.. because my happiness comes from my own joy in life,, I no longer need anyone to make me happy. I find happiness in doing what I like to do,, and that's a peace and joy I never had until now.. I know I did my best and served my country with pride and if called upon again I would Gladly partake in protecting America , even though I did my time so to speak.. You have to have patriotism, and pride to serve that many years .. its a feeling like no other to represent this country. I proudly wore my uniform daily and always looked sharp. because i wanted people to know I'm proud to wear the uniform of The United States Navy, From being a deck dog, to being a supply guy to Mailman to Security force ,, I enjoyed every assignment. It brought joy to my heart and eyes , when I led my divisions in all their evolutions.. Yea.. Once you have been through with guys ,, its a bond that last forever.. To shipmates on the USS CAMDEN , THE USS PRINCETON , USS NIMITZ, AND USS PELELIU .. I enjoyed my times on those ships.. The times we had were unforgettable.. and believe me I have many stories I could Tell or have told.. But like I said , we deserve the lifelong pension because .. we made sacrifices in our lives no one can fathom or understand . Just imagine 6-9 months on a ship with the same people eating the same food.. It can make you go crazy and at times we did, the arguments , the fist fights , the explosions of emotions were second to none , but despite it all we still loved one another and fought on..and now that I have been retired now.. for 5 years . its hard to believe.. Its over.. But I have to move on,,and start my new life as a father of two growing boys and a lovely wife who dealt with my shit and believe me ,, she is great to deal with me.. I know I'm Moody, selfish ,arrogant.. but that's what leading men under stressful times do.. I know ., if my shipmates seen me now,, they would think what happened. Because I don't give a shit what i say or do,, good or bad.. I don't care.. I mean I was brainwashed for 20 years to believe in things.. But now.. I say and do,.. things, that may hurt people. but its what a veteran does.. let things out , we have too.. That's why I enjoy my muscle car and my guns,, its a relief from the realities of life.. To us vets. we look to our hobbies to soothe our hearts and minds, where so many years of tears and fears affected our minds.. Maybe its therapy or what But like I said.. Having my toys with me,brings me more joy than being with my family? Weird.. yea we vets are.. We have been through so much to really explain our pains to our loved ones. That's why vets turn to other vets, .. for compassion.. Yea,, we deserve all the benefits we get because we have endured so many things many of you ,, civilians cant imagine.. The Military is a different world,, and to be honest I miss it.. But I also know I have to move on because that's What God wants.. so with that.. May God Bless America and the may men and women serving and May peace be with everyone,, because war is hell and hatred is a horrible thing to feel. Until my next blog.. Have a great day!!

LA CHARGERS - WHAT THEY NEED? 2017
LA CHARGERS - WHAT THEY NEED 2017?
First of, I'm still upset they left for Los Angeles, but on a business stand point ,that's a smart move , I mean LA has more people , more money , more opportunities!! To get famous , to make money. But I'm still upset..
What the Chargers need, they need to win.. 4-12 and 5-11 is not going to do it. Plus they play in the toughest division in the NFL. The hiring of inexperienced head coach doesnt surprise me? Because i think Spanos is planning to sell the team and make a killing with the investment. Who I feel bad for is Philip Rivers and Gates , they played their hearts out only to be part of a rebuilding process that will not include them in a few years. The fact the chargers keep neglecting to build a line to protect rivers and block for Gordon is head scratching... The free agency might help , but this is the chargers they pay for the lowest talent.. It would be nice to get that big receiver in Brandon Marshall. that would help the deep threat like we had with Malcolm Floyd or Vincent Jackson.. As much I like Tyrell Williams , hes not physical enough and doesn't run consistent routes.. Inman is good but needs to gain muscle.. Keenan is great when hes in there , but he has missed more games than played.. Just my thoughts.. If the Chargers are daring Draft Mike Williams from Clemson.. but chances are they want Jabril Peppers or Malik booker.. Its hard to tell how the draft will go.. ? It never goes as planned.
But if the chargers don't help that offensive line look to rivers throwing picks to avoid taking hard hits and Melvin Gordon , Danny Woodhead , Bradnon Oliver could take a beating.. The offense was very inconsistent last year especially in the red zone.. Without a big wide out .. and strong o line.. the chargers will struggle in the red zone.. that's why they lost so many games during the Mike McCoy Era..
The defense decided to build around Joey Bosa.. 4-3 defense means they are going to emphasize pass rushing. and hope the line backers can cover the running back and tigh ends .. the cover corners will have their hands full since the safety position is weak. Lowery is slow and not very physical.. Adda is physical but not very fast.. Lets hope verret and Heyward don't get beat , because lowery and addae are not very good cover safeties.. That pas rush better get there. or that defense is in trouble..
Now rivers, hes very good in throwing long and medium range passes, but is very weak at short or scree passes and because of lack of speed , he cant run for the first down or bide time in the pocket. He has been great , but the next QB.needs to be more athletic and mobile,, its just the state of the game in the NFL.. even Brady can run when called upon.. The Chargers in my opinion will have a tough time winning next year. Because of the weak offensive line, the unstable receiving corps and new head coach. The team is under going a new direction ad its going to interesting to see if rivers buys in.
The defense is changing, and everyone has to adjust , the line backers on the chargers are good for run stopping , but are very slow.The chargers need a fast line backer to cover the running backs and tight ends.. Because for the past 4 years teams with fast running backs and tight ends beat the hell of of the chargers.. To be honest chargers have too many holes to fill Its good rivers has kept the chargers in games , the day he retires your going to see how weak or how lacking in talent the chargers are?
Final thoughts.. The Chargers need to win and fast, because .. the LA market will discard them quickly if not already? Think about it they are lifetime losers for only brief periods early 1960's and the Air Coryell years in the 70's and the Boss Ross era in the early 90's.. and of course the Marty Years / Norv Turner years.. other than that , the team has lost more than they won.. So Good Luck in LA WITH THE DODGERS , ANGEL, LAKERS , USC , UCLA , CLIPPERS , having a history of winning .. oh yea The Raiders are popular too.. and now the Chargers , heck the Galaxy will probably draw more fans next year.. Did you the outrageous prices for Charger tickets.. Are they high ? Even the Patriots and Steelers or Cowboys are laughing and these teams win.. Yea .. The chargers are a team in deep need to rebuild and have a long climb to be accepted if ever in LA..
FINAL THOUGHTS. THE LA CHARGERS NEED TO WIN ,. but based on their weaknesses and needs I don't see the chargers winning more than 5-7 games if that.. remember the Broncos , Chiefs and raiders have younger and better squads. Rivers might the best QB from the group , with Derek carr right there.. But the other teams are better balanced and better coached then the chargers and based on that I see another frustrating season losing close games and watching Rivers and gates go though another season of losing. Just my thoughts.. Last year I predicted the chargers would win the division and finish 11-5 ,, it was the exact opposite 5-11 and cellar dwellers for the whatever time in their history. I hope I;m wrong , but I have a better perspective since I'm no longer a die hard fan rooting for the team.. I'm a upset fan that sees clearly whats wrong with the chargers. I will watch them on tv.. but fat chance I'm going to spend big money and drive 3-4 hours one way fighting traffic only to see them be exciting but lose.. But based on whats the new coaches philosophy, you might see more running and ball control offense ,,, to hide their passing weakness and hope that defense will create turnovers ,, if not look for a long season of low scoring games with wins over the jags, jets and browns..bills.. and maybe a division win against the raiders , chiefs and broncos.. ?
Enjoy the combine and the NFL DRAFT IN APRIL.. and lets see what the chargers do?

The Trump Presidency -.The Sources Views..
The Trump Presidency - The Sources Views..
First off his nations address last week, was the best speech I have ever seen.He looked and talked like a well polished politician that is willing to work with Congress and the Senate of The United States of America.
His views on immigration- I get it , he wants the borders better protected and he wants undesirables that are enemiesof the state kept out of America. His ban .. on Nations that have shown through history , to keep them out. I know America should be a land of opportunity , but when low life's come into this nation and commit horrible crimes against the people of this nation,, I have no mercy or feelings for them other than get out and stay out!! Now for those that have come here to work obey the laws and pay taxes more power to you.. because we have many Americans that don't pay or avoid paying taxes and commit crimes and have no respect for America.. but were born in America.. now that's disgusting in my point of view when those Americans display disrespect for the flag and hurt other Americans because they have a different point of view,, Thats not cool and that's unAmerican in my view.. But we have seen it in the news on social media people hurting others because they support Trump or Gun ownership or protection of the borders.. Just because someone supports one or more issues doesn't make them a racist , or a bad person.. It makes them American to be able to stand up for what they believe in.. Just my thoughts..
Now with Trump I get what hes saying , but his policies need to be consistent all the way around. As for deportation.. if your a professional lifelong criminal you deserve it. But if your a law abiding person who makes comments that are unflattering to the president.It doesn't seem right to get deported like those people that make speeches about immigration and soon after they are deported.? Now that's un fair and should not be tolerated.. If anything that's a gripe that needs to be addressed.
As for building a bigger Military, that's fine and dandy , but what social programs , federal aid wil be affected. ? Just my thought cutting college funding for low income will hurt the masses or cutting funding to those that are unable to fend for themselves is also unfair. But those that are capable and willing to work, need to find such work to keep this economy going. Its gonna be a long and hard fix to restructure and re work America's thoughts about America. Trump will have to work with congress and the senate to get his plans done.. My thoughts can he do it and does he have the patience to do it? I mean he;s a business man that has had things go his way most of his life.. In politics, you have to compromise you have to negotiate , you have to work together? Does he have the stomach to deal with these people? Only time will tell , Lets hope he can make America great again , not divide it like its has become with so many different points of view out there. Even based on the elections we have a very divided America and its gonna take team work to make America great again..
Now for the Protesters, Lets work together , lets be part of the solution than the problem. Anyone complain and See the negatives in things,, Can you find solutions and answers and not be so demanding ? In addition to that.. Let people speak and let people beleieve in what they believe convince people with facts , with information , with well thought out arguments , rather than beating people or pepper spraying people because they think different? because the way I see it , The war is among ourselves.killing cops, killing each other , causing conflict among each other is making the enemy happy. if we kill one another , it makes it easier for the enemy to attack or invade us. I know America will never let that happen. But remember 9/11 .. we never thought,, the Boston Marathon bombing? never thought.. It can happen and because they are so many groups in America, building and recruiting.. War is already happening..
Final thoughts.. Trump did a good job sounding like a president, but now prove to us you can work with the government to make things happen , just because you promise things to happen , doesn't mean they will happen. We need to see your work like explaining your plans and having your thoughts displayed clearly.. Be consistent with your policies and be real about your views.. Everyone is scared about what your planning? We need to hear and see your views with real ideas and plans. Just building a wall without Mexico's cooperation is not good.. Maybe that sewage spill in San Diego,, wasn't a accident ? THE LAW ENFORCEMENT FIELD NEEDS NEW LEADERSHIP.. because killing innocent people is not what America is. We are supposed to be the example to other nations .. Right now we are a nation , not to follow.. The burning of flags , the violent protests and the media wars is making America look degrading and pathetic. But a strong leader can help this country. Is trump the man.. like I said only time will tell.. Right now the book is open on the Trump Presidency.. we need to see consistent views and a consistent execution of his policies.. Until then , lets voice out opinions without physically hurting one another, because if we don't ,, the true enemy of this nation is ourselves,, and that could be the most tragic thing ever to happen?!?! May God Bless everyone as we pursue happiness in life!!

First off his nations address last week, was the best speech I have ever seen.He looked and talked like a well polished politician that is willing to work with Congress and the Senate of The United States of America.
His views on immigration- I get it , he wants the borders better protected and he wants undesirables that are enemiesof the state kept out of America. His ban .. on Nations that have shown through history , to keep them out. I know America should be a land of opportunity , but when low life's come into this nation and commit horrible crimes against the people of this nation,, I have no mercy or feelings for them other than get out and stay out!! Now for those that have come here to work obey the laws and pay taxes more power to you.. because we have many Americans that don't pay or avoid paying taxes and commit crimes and have no respect for America.. but were born in America.. now that's disgusting in my point of view when those Americans display disrespect for the flag and hurt other Americans because they have a different point of view,, Thats not cool and that's unAmerican in my view.. But we have seen it in the news on social media people hurting others because they support Trump or Gun ownership or protection of the borders.. Just because someone supports one or more issues doesn't make them a racist , or a bad person.. It makes them American to be able to stand up for what they believe in.. Just my thoughts..
Now with Trump I get what hes saying , but his policies need to be consistent all the way around. As for deportation.. if your a professional lifelong criminal you deserve it. But if your a law abiding person who makes comments that are unflattering to the president.It doesn't seem right to get deported like those people that make speeches about immigration and soon after they are deported.? Now that's un fair and should not be tolerated.. If anything that's a gripe that needs to be addressed.
As for building a bigger Military, that's fine and dandy , but what social programs , federal aid wil be affected. ? Just my thought cutting college funding for low income will hurt the masses or cutting funding to those that are unable to fend for themselves is also unfair. But those that are capable and willing to work, need to find such work to keep this economy going. Its gonna be a long and hard fix to restructure and re work America's thoughts about America. Trump will have to work with congress and the senate to get his plans done.. My thoughts can he do it and does he have the patience to do it? I mean he;s a business man that has had things go his way most of his life.. In politics, you have to compromise you have to negotiate , you have to work together? Does he have the stomach to deal with these people? Only time will tell , Lets hope he can make America great again , not divide it like its has become with so many different points of view out there. Even based on the elections we have a very divided America and its gonna take team work to make America great again..
