I just returned from a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I have become enamored with photography in the last 7 years. In the Smokies I saw amazing sights of the glory and majesty of this country of my birth. I have now returned home to the normalcy?? of everyday life. I am a 75 year old non college graduate, who actually can think and is getting sick and tired of being lumped by the media as a group of people that don't support Donald Trump for President. I am one of many people that came from a low income background and busted my ass to succeed. I believe in the American ideal that anyone can become a success by working hard and doing an honest days work. Mrs Clinton has many time expressed that we must move forward together, Screw that! We must work independently to enhance our personal future and thus enhance the future of the country. The liberal view that we need to collectively take care of each other is a myth. They as liberals think we need the government to take care of us, that is the major fallacy of the liberal methodology. We do not need government to take care of us, we are independent humans with a free will, and a capacity to succeed if we actually get rid of the shackles of government. In the mountains of eastern North Carolina and Northeast Georgia I saw one HRC sign, and hundreds of Trump/Pence signs. There may be hope yet!!

Its my Birthday so here I come

The events at the U.S. Open and the fact that I am celebrating 75 years on this earth today started me thinking about a few thins this morning.

Number one on my list, which was highlighted this weekend at Oakmont CC, was large organizations made up of petty bureaucrats exerting influence where it is totally unwarranted. The two bureaucrats on the “committee” that decided to insert their totally unwanted and unwarranted opinion on the events that transpired on the fifth green. These two asshats decided that they needed TV time so the stuck their noses into an area where they were not needed. The matter had already been adjudicated by their walking official and the two competitors that had first hand knowledge of the situation. Today we have the Executive Director, who was conspicuously absent from the real-time controversy flippantly calling their actions a “bogey” and asking for a “mulligan”. At the same time he says that they got the decision right, apparently he has better eyesight and knowledge of the situation than the multitude of professional golfers that referred to the situation and decision as a farce.
