Top Democrats Deny Knowing Anything About Trump Dossier

Of course, they deny. When involved in something wrong or illegal, deny, deny and deny. Democrat leaders are highly skilled in the art of deceit.

My Russian Blog Audience? Gone In Total

Think they were looking at me a a potential spy? I estimate there are a least 1000 people or perhaps far more people in the U.S.A. now spying for Russia and we have a few in Russia spying for us.

Even George Washington created an internal and external "spy" Committee but he had a different name for it which has slipped my mind.

Opiod Drugs - Trump's Job in Controlling Their Use is Huge

President Trump and his wife in a brilliant speech today, announced programs to help stop use and spend money to help those addicted. CNN, a Socialist hotbed, immediately criticized his speech as failing to say "how he was going to do these things". What a bunch of sheer idiots.

Did Martin Luther Kin explain in 30 minutes how he was going to enforce and expand Civil Right Laws? Or was he too busy "womanizing"?


Did Democrat Jack Kennedy explain how he was going to re-create Camelot in our country in a 30 minute address to the nation? While he a his brother were "messing" with Marilyn and others.  Did Democrat Lyndon Johnson explain in 30 minutes how he was going to create his FAILED Great Society? Or explain in 30 minutes why he stopped this country from winning a winnable war in Vietnam? (We should never have entered this conflict but once in, YOU ARE IN TO WIN).

President Trump has an almost unwinnable task on hand. Way too many crooked Doctors and prescription writers, drug Cartels and drug distributors. While our President said steps are  being taken to limit Opiods to a 7 day supply, the death merchants are already conniving how to skirt this one week limit.

I am in favor of the laws that were being enforced in Singapore when my wife and I last visited 30 some years ago. Execute the source death merchants and the dealers while expanding drug use preventative education and rehabilitation.

And no, I never said that Marijuana use was a good choice. Medical for dying people in great pain, yes. What I said that since our DEA had failed, our country should allow totally certified legal distributors and collect the taxes. And monitor the legal sellers on a daily basis, switching observers on a monthly basis so they will be less likely to get off of for "not enforcing".No matter what Sessions or the Trump administration does, there will always be drug users; especially liquor and, especially Marijuana.

Most of of our resources and money should go to education and rehab including alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction.

Janaye Ervin - Booted Out Of navy - Good Riddance

She refused, while serving as a member of the Armed Services, to stand during the playing of the National Anthem. I add she is a black woman but I would blog the same if  she were white.

Maybe Obama or Clinton will hire her.

Theft By a Florida Security Officer?

From a dying person? No surprise. "Bad apples in every barrel" and Florida is NO exception.

"Thug Mentality" Yeah, It Exists. Just Watch Contact Professional "Sports"

Which I watch less and less and read more and more.

Rape Exists - Absolutely

Just don't believe that 100% of the accusations are totally true. About young college women who say "I was too drunk (and drugged) out to know what was going on"; they have no business in being in college and their parents should be questioning the useless waste of their money.

I still believe the Israeli Sytem of two years of security training would work well in this country.

In far too many instances. Sad, just don't accuse me of not believing rape is VERY  real, sometimes by those who kill or try to kill their victims.

Awareness publication is very good; just get all the "facts" which is many times not possible. In somewhat innocent sex or sexual harassment, the truth, with no other witnesses,  is hard to "out".

"Intelligence Matters" by Former Governor and Senator Bob Graham

This book, written in 2004 by Senator Graham and Jeff Nussbaum, is another book I should have read years ago. Sub-titled, "The CIA, the FBI, Saudi Arabia, and the Failure of America's War on Terror", is about the failure of Intelligence Gathering prior to 9/11. Those of us who read more than fiction or the mainstream medias, are aware there was a massive failure of the use of our Intelligence Agencies and the fear of upsetting the Saudi's.

Most of us are aware that all countries of any size have spies in our country as we have spies in their countries. The failure of the spy agencies before 9/11 that took the lives of 3000 innocents and ruined the lives of countless hundreds of thousand others, including the life and family of 24 year old Peorian, Charles "Chip" Chan, has been largely pushed into the dust bin of time.

This revealing and accusing book should be available at any Public Library. The one I have has stiff pages indicating very few readers ever checked it out. A profile of Ex-Senator Bob Graham is available on Wikipedia.

A sad true history of the failure of our intelligence, a sad accusation of our "swamp people" to expose Saudi Arabia, for what it really is. Even today. A sponsor and protector of those who who commit terrorist acts to try to achieve a usually false realization.

"Patted on My Butt"? By Quite a Few Women, But, Unfortunately, None Of Them Have Any Money

Yes, a couple of women had "money" but unfortunately, they are dead.

Val Kilmer - Blind-Sided By A Vindictive "Washed Out Actress" and a Vicious "National Inquirer" Type Reporter and Press

Expect this to go on as attempts are made to sort out the truth of this growing mass of charges of "sexual harassment". When are men going to start speaking out about how they were "sexually harassed" by bad girls?

"Drain the Swamp" in D.C. - Thank Goodness Flake and Corker Will Soon Be Gone

I hope many of the Establishment are soon gone. Bot Democrats and Republicans. However, power still corrupts, so don't expect a lot of change in the Swamp which includes a horde of un-elected Bureaucrats.

President Donald Trump IS a Very Intelligent Person - Reporters As a Rule Couldn't Hold a Living Wage Job

What a bunch of "Sad Sacks" writing half-truths and adding words as JS Reporter Matt Buedel did who turned a theft reported by ME into an assault on me. He intentionally added an upstairs to my Ranch House to add to his assault  and claimed I "stepped down" from the County Board. The Peoria Observer printed a column by DeWayne Bartels, headed "Merle Widmer will be hard to be replaced". DeWayne was one of Peoria's best reporters (His death was very sad and  untimely). He printed my intention NOT to run for a forth term. (I would have been 85) That was two and one-half years before I retired from the board at the END  of my third term..

As to Trump's IQ; IQ tests indicate a certain intelligence but a person with a high IQ may not have "common sense". (See my blog on "Common Sense") When I was serving in the United States Army Airforce, a Lieutenant graduate of Hamilton University in up-state new York, told the Hamilton Head Basketball Coach about my basketball abilities. I was invited to stay at two Fraternity houses over the weekend while the Coach appraised my abilities. I was introduced to a member who had an IQ of 181. Frat brothers told me later that he was intelligent but lacked common sense.

We need very intelligent people, Hitler was considered by Germany, Italy and Japan,  to be intelligent.  But a sad history proves he lacked Common Sense. Our Pres-dent appears to be somewhere in between with his untimely comments, often true but not "politically correct".

To succeed in politics is to be politically INCORRECT when the occasion calls. Make usually true statement and opinions in private or behind somebodies back.

So sad.

The Old Adage "Power Corrupts" Has Never Been More Prevelant

Spiteful women and some men, large unions, many politicians, wise kids against their parent or parents, the hard Republican right, the Democrat Party in general, groups like NOW and the NAACP,  the NCAA, the mainstream left wing new medias, etc.

So true and so sad. Believe my latest prediction of a revolution on a major scale within this country by 2032 hopefully will never happen, but the odds of that happening and of an eventual dictatorship are growing and it WILL probably be blamed on President Donald Trump, whether he is long dead or not. Trump ran on a revolution platform, albeit a peaceful one. He has stirred up the questionable direction of this country which was long overdue.

He can change his mind (women do all the time, I know from first-hand experience) as he becomes more "politically educated and perhaps, politically corrupted" but he will not back down from historical proofs and "politically correct" untruths.

Trump "Thin skinned"? Sure, I and most sensible people, are also thin skinned when losers attack us without facts or even second-hand gossip. I, too, know that first-hand. The left-wingers know that most people, these days, do not read more than one paragraph under the HEADLINES. Such as "immigrants seeking sanctuary in PPS" a headline in the JS by hard 4 Democrat with Socialistic leanings, Pam Adams. ILLEGALS seeking sanctuary are illegal immigrants (now the politically correct call them "undocumented"). My Dad was a legal immigrant, processed  though Ellis Island. There were 'enforced' laws in that era.

One I Overlooked As a'' Hate" Group

The NAACP. This world is in trouble largely because of groups sending wrong messages like the NAACP against American Airlines.

Jeff Flake is a "Flake"

I attended a town hall meeting in Arizona that he sponsored. I thought then this guy is a little off. But he ran in a strong Republican area and once elected was hard to get rid of him. Glad to see he is retiring.,

My Russian Readers, After the U.S.A. is Russia and the France

I click on "audience" occasionally and that one day I had 770 hits. Interesting for a small unadvertised local blogger. Maybe one will invite me to an all expenses paid tour. I've visited Russia over 30 years ago. I would be interested in changes made over these past 3 decades.

I've been to lower France; the French Rivera. But I guess I'll never see Paris or float on the Rhine.

Was'nt on my bucket list.

Skin Cancer "Free" Clinics - Suggest, if Diagnosed, One Should Get a Second Opinion

I have never had skin Cancer; just prostate and bladder (twice) but I have attended free skin cancer detection clinics. I'm sure many who attended these free clinics were properly diagnosed. In my case, 15 or more years ago, the doctor circled three spots on his chart and told me to get an appointment with his office.I declined remembering a previous experience forty or so years ago, I decided to just "keep an eye" on these reddish spots.

I'm still watching them. They are on my face and only one person, my daughter said I should have  "it" checked out. It wasn't the ones the doctor circled and none of these spots at my age of 92 are now noticeable.But I still keep "watching".

Just a thought that those of you who think doctors are infallible might want to get a "second" opinion.

He Said - She Said - Who has the Most To Gain? - Not the One At the Top But the "Bottom" Suckers?'

Usually, not always of course, the "liar" is the one at the bottom attacking the ones at the top. Not enough honest reporters and especially the left-wing mainstream media for the public to believe any ones story.

Weinstein was a Democrat. I KNOW  that it is unusual for the media to attack a Democrat "higher-upper". To compare Trump with Hollywood's "anyway or anything goes (probably 50% made it on their backs or other positions) - consensual) to get on film or in the gossip columns".

Lying is learned VERY early in life. That is one reason we do not have nearly enough teachers in the public school systems. "My teacher made me do this, my teacher "picks" on me, my teacher doesn't like me, etc"  Mama is quick to be heading for the Principals Office or on the phone totally believing what her "precious" told her.

Another reason why we have so few honest leaders and politicians. They learned early in life to lie  and how to get "away" with at first, small lies.

There are times, to lie or protect someones butt or the system they represent, recordings on tape can be altered. Perhaps that is why the process of DELETING my only ever arrest record, traffic tickets, yes, is underway. By February or March as the system is backlogged.  Thirty nine months after appearing before a Judge who declined to find me guilty of anything but maybe my 5 second wrong judgment at the age of 88.

Most of my readers will not be alive by age 88.

Sorry, but statistics both on age any learning to lie by the innocent age of 2-3. Unfortunately, we are in an period of time where most of society believe that kids can do no wrong while once they are men (and some women) no matter their station in life, are guilty by accusation.

So sad.

Vicous Left-Wing Mainstream Media Getting "Sicker" by the Hour. Compare Trump with Weinstein? Most of You Reporters should have Your Pasts Exposed

I refuse to comment further on this degrading accusation posed as a question.

Chicago Cubs - Won the First Playoff Series ONLY Because of the Ineptitude of Fired Manager Baker

The Cubs should never have won over Baker and the Nationals. Anyone watching the game should know that now fired National Manager Baker BLEW the 5th game and cost him his job.

My analysis of the Cubs from Spring Training is as follows:

!. After winning a World Series for the first time in over a Century, they kept looking in the mirror and saying and thinking, "how great thou art".Adulation by the fans and everyone they met caused them to "bask in the " moment" which they earned.. Wined and dined, speaking engagement, great food and drinks, late hours, all that money, new multi-million houses to plan, media super praise, etc. caused most of them to come into spring training, fat  and sassy. .Zobrist, in particular showed the "worst for wear".

2. A slow start disappointed the faithful. When the All-Star break came, only ONE was selected to the All-Star Team/. And he was the losing pitcher.

3. Team weaknesses: Good field, poor hitting except when they faced "batting practice" pitchers; Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Baltimore and even the Cardinals.

4. Undependable middle relief pitchers and sometimes a questionable closer.

5. Strike zone: Baez, Zobrist and Bryant led the team in not knowing the difference between a ball and a strike.

6. Clutch hitting by the big three was pretty sad. Men left off base may have set a club record. Bryant looked "meek" to opposing pitchers and he showed it. If Rizzo could hit with his mouth, he would have batted over 400 hundred..

7. Joe Maddon was confused with what was happening on the field and he certainly showed it in the play offs.

8. No small" game such as Tony LaRussa played when he managed the Cardinals.

9. Bunting? No guts and glory in a bunt. Even few of the pitchers knew how to lay down a bunt.

10. Dissatisfaction by pitchers who believed he brought in relievers too soon. Problem was he often times didn't bring them in soon enough. And then the wrong man. What happened to Grimm? Rondon? I didn't know he was still with the Cubs when suddenly Maddon brought him in a close playoff game and Rondon (he will be gone next year) blew it. Using a starting pitchers as a reliever? And then starting that pitcher the next day??? One reason perhaps that Baker was fired as he tried it and failed miserably. Seldom works.

11. Weakest Division in the majors misled a lot of die-hard fans who went crazy with admiration when they "poured it on" weak teams with weak pitching.

12. No real "lead-off" man. No real "cleanup hitter. Batters hitting around 200 or less, often hit in the top 5 in the line-up.

13. Rather lack-a-dasical looking. Not the intensity of 2016.

14. Madden got TOO friendly with his players. Kind of kike, hey were all buddies. Doesn't work that well, and not just the Cubs but in ALL sports.

15. So wait till next year. Sorry, Cub fans, the only "franchise" player on this team might be Contera. Winter better see some blockbuster trades else the Cubs may not even win their Division in 2018.

No, I don't read the Chicago newspapers, listen to the play-by-play announcers or the analysts.

Trump Heads For Golf Course Third Straight Weekend-Oh,, Dear, What Can the Left-Wing Liberal Press Do???

When you consider what smart, yet untalented wise ass "reporters" have tried to blame for everything including management's firing of Black National Baseball Coach, "Dusty" Baker. Considering what fools have done to him, of course he has to have exercise and recreation. The fake and half-truth media are trying (and failing) to drive him nuts.

Shoot your handicap and I hope the whether is nice..

Now you dumb ass media types, all Presidents when relaxing, are in touch with the White House principals. Except ,maybe Jack K. when he was fooling around with Marilyn and others??

Worst Major League Baseball Managers THIS Year Were "Dusty" Baker and Joe Maddon

Baker is out. Who is next???? Sure, the Cubs looked like wimps and they were. But they won their Division, the weakest in the majors. And were lucky because of wrong moves by now ousted "Dusty" Baker.

I earlier picked Houston to win it all. My early on odds were that Cubs were probably 15-1 by Vegas. I'll go over their weaknesses tomorrow. And why they may be years away from even making to another World Series. And, no, I do not read the Chicago newspapers nor listen to the boring analysts.

Yes, I played and coached baseball, last playing in 1993 at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa Arizona. At the age of 67. My coach moved me up from ninth to fifth in the lineup stating "show these young guys how to hit". I did. Had 10 hits in 32 trips, including a game winner, completing my Fantasy.

Kirk Wessler of the JS wrote the following about the event, "Among the 1994 offering of baseball literature is a book titled, "Sometimes a Fantasy; Midlife Misadventures with Baseball heroes". Written byJeff Quinn, the book is a first hand account of a week at Randy Hundley's Chicago Cubs Fantasy Camp, where baseball fans fo to to spend a week playing with and against their heroes.

The book is notable for the inclusion of two Peorians, Merle Widmer and Dick Eagleton. Widmer is mentioned in the text as having been traded from the author's club to help shore up an injury-depleted roster. And Widmer and Eagleton are listed in the final-game boxscore".

Not mentioned was now deceased Peorian Royce Elliott, former Peoria star athlete and Nationally renowned comedian. who emceed the closing banquet and played in the final game.

Great memories and some good pictures/.

Cub fans. Keep your memories of last year and erase most memories of this year", a year both exciting at times and disappointing in the end. Look for some changes in both players and management or it will be a long time before another World Series. probably not 1907 years, though.

Send Democrat Lying Fredrica Wilson Along With Steyer

So sad that the Left-Wing media prints everything that a Democrat "Leader" Prints As Truth.

And most everything a Republican says as fake.

All Youth Want To Belong To Something. When Rejected and For Other Reasons They May Turn to "Hate" Groups

So sad. That every country has them, makes is sadder.

Jesus Fabian Gonzalez is NOT AN IMMIGRANT - He is an UNDOCUMENTED Illegal Unlawfully in Our Country

Now the Left-Wing Liberals are calling all UNDOCUMENTED people here illegally, "immigrants"
Boy, what mess half the leadership of this country, are making of so much 'fake" news and falsehoods THEY generate.

He builds fires in the forests to keep warm. And, of course, HE ALWAYS PUTS THEM OUT.

Sure, and so does Smoky, the Bear.

Vietnam, Korea, and WW2 Presidents - I Have a Question.

Did Democrat Presidents Franklin Roosevelt,  President Harry Truman AND FOUL MOUTH SPEAKING DEMOCRAT LYNDON JOHNSON CALL ALL the parents of those killed in these horrific wars?? My 1st Cousin Richard Witzig, son of Uncle Ben and Ethel Witzig, was shot down and killed as he piloted a plane in the Asian War Theater.

Both died without ever receiving a call from any Democrat U.S.A. President..

Interesting.

War is horrible but I'm sorry to say many National Guard signers over the year thought the pay and comradeship and the getting away from their wives, believed that all they would be involved in were; some amall security problems.

Note I said "many". Most felt a call to duty.

I like the Israelis system of protecting their country. I believe it is still 2 years MANDATORY military training. Bring that system here as well as return to a variation of the Civilian Conservation Corp for the young unemployed. They will at least learn a work ethic and perhaps a vocation. Gang gun killings, along with the LEGALIZATION of marijuana, would cut gang killing in half.

I sincerely regret the loss of life of all people serving in security forces. And all innocent persons in general.

So does our President, Donald Trump although. he is still learning how DIRTY POLITICS AND HEADLINE SEEKING REPORTERS, DEMOCRAT PARENTS WHO LOST A LOVED ONE AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, ARE IN GENERAL

And those who lost loved ones and tried to "politicize" their lose or losses.
So sad we have so many "unhappy with their OWN lives", hateful people..

Democrat Tom Steyer - Dig Into How He Became a Billionaire - Offer Him a Flight to Mars

If anyone is crazy is rich nuts like Steyer. I see where scientists have found a cave on the moon, perhaps suitable for habitation.

I'll contribute to sending him and his ilk to the moon or elsewhere far away.

Democrat and Socialist leadership and supporters are worse losers than the Cub Die-Hard fans.

"New Millennium Institute Receives National Attention" - Traveler Weekly - March 2017

"Founded by Aghara Bryson., a Peoria native. She states, There isn't a shortage of jobs, there is a shortage of job ready applicants. Recruitment and retention are big challenges for employers and workforce development.'. Bryson believes that many employers are frustrated because they cannot find applicants who are reliable, punctual, and understand what it takes to be a good employee".

Well said and best wishes for success. I've been trying to get this message across for 60 years.

Failure in the Black Community By Both Black and White Leadership - July 1, 2011

Showing posts sorted by relevance for query failure of the Black community by Both Black and White Leadership. Sort by date Show all posts FRIDAY, JULY 01, 2011 Failure in the Black Community By Both Black and White Leadership An irritated reader reminds me that the last president to send his kids to public schools was President Carter. I remind irritated Yvonne that her man planned to redistribute people's wealth and production to make everyone more equal. Somewhat similair to the failed "communes". As a wealthy man and elected leader of our country, his kids, by attending public schools, could be role models and tutors to the kids of 2nd, 3rd or 4th predominately black failed generations. The opportunity for everyone to attend free public schools and seek employment without discrimination, has been supported by every president in the past 110 years or so. For the last 50 years, equal opportunity has been there to be seized by those with a desire to be educated, be dependable and learn to work. (and be consistent by coming to work on time as detailed in a recent JS article of a black woman's success). She seized opportunity. Too many black youths feel as Columnist Leonard Pitts wrote and I published on this site that they would not work for a white. "You Can Do What You Want To Do", published 6/20/07) Also, I suggest some read or re-read, "Why Can't We All Just Get Along", published 6/17,2008; "Racial Profiling", published 9/9/07; Racism and Elections, 10/7/04; "Middle Class Income Stagnation", published 4/28/08 and "Why Black Leadership May Need to Work More closely With White Leadership", 10/7/07. Or "Multicultural Foolishness", published 10/12/08. In this blog, my last paragraph suggestion is probably wrong. I've also stated my informed opinion on "Diversity" and the most recent Minimum Wage Law which is keeping so many both black and white youths unemployed again this summer. We could have brought back the CCC, one of FDR's best work programs, except for the opposition of the unions and the unwillingness of many to do hard work. Why do you suppose we have so many illegal immigrants doing the "grunt" work in the U.S. while so many blacks and many whites are idle? All of these blogs can be easily found by entering the title or subject on all of my 1700+ blogs' "Search Bar", upper right hand of the blog. A couple other irritated people thought I was unfair to the Cannons who do good work in the community. Carl is paid well, works out of taxpayer supported facilities with kids who could be taught the same things Carl teaches in the taxpayer funded public school systems or taught in the some 100 or more Social Agencies and Churches, the Scouts, etc. If Cannon's wife believes that Obama is doing the job he was elected to do she is reading the wrong polls. Which brings up the point, what are black "leaders" telling and teaching these kids in total? As to young people incarcerated and clogging the juvenile courts, the record shows that the majority are black despite being a minority in numbers in the County of Peoria. As to sexually transmitted diseases, the health dept. published figures indicate that again minority blacks lead Peoria County to be the leader in sex diseases and pregnancies per capita of any county in the State of Illinois. As to my journalism? Never took a class, don't get paid for blogging, don't have a proof reader but I make my points. Some "Anonymous and first name" commenter's, which I don't publish get the point but are in denial as are many of the arrogant, elite, wealthy in this country. Donald Trump? Ha, Ha. As stated when I started this blog in 2004, "This blog is not a 'politically' correct blog. But it comes off as summing up the feelings of a large majority of my readers.

"Shall We Overcome"? October 14, 2005

Merle Widmer's PEORIA WATCH Showing posts sorted by relevance for query Shall We Overcome?. Sort by date Show all posts FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2005 Shall We Overcome? You don’t have to be a Republican or a slightly right leaning conservative to learn from reading the Wall Street Journal. Please read the column dated 10/14/05, titled “Shall We Overcome” by black professor Charles Johnson, a professor of English at the University of Washington. I would be honored to be called a friend of Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson writes an informative article on “black expectations” and about those who are still preaching “inevitable contradictory profiles such as offered by Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, (those largely involved in planning another “million man” march in Washington) in the black America post civil rights period.” Dr. Johnson quotes another person I would like as a friend, William Raspberry “For the first time in black American history, what we CAN DO is a greater determinant of our future than what is DONE TO us. We need to teach and preach that and shout that-to our young people and ourselves. We need to take note that immigrants-including those from Africa and the Caribbean-who see opportunity where too many born here see only disparity.” Dr. Johnson quotes author Thomas Sowell as saying “celebrities have quietly bolstered as role models some of geeks and “boffins” rather than our rappers, our Hip Hop culture and those mired in “black redneck behavior.” He continues “a disturbing profile that reveals a high percentage of black males being AWOL as fathers and husbands; as disappearing from our colleges, not one black among 800 entering engineering (UD Berkeley 2004-5 class), graduating from high school with an eighth-grade level of proficiency in math and reading; in prison, on probation on parole (a third of the black men in their 20’s). With the HIV infection rate doubling for blacks in the past decade, as well as urban violence, hypertension, social stress and heart disease, the number of black men now trails black women by two million. And it is not as if black women are thriving; the HIV infection for black women is 20 times that for white women (possibly because of “down low” bisexual black males who hide the fact of their homosexuality).” Dr. Johnson asks that “we give up the “bigotry of low expectations” so that we can reshape the culture profile of the black American male so that it embodies what our predecessors and ancestors valued most: literacy and the love of learning; wide ranging intellectual curiosity and catholicity represented by a W.E.B. Du Bios or a Mark Dean, (a holder of forty patents), delayed gratification, a commitment to creating wealth (usually accomplished by having what it takes to hold a job and advance up the ladders) and passing that on to our children and the hard truth that, despite our appreciation of modernity, people of color do not have the luxury of half-stepping, failure and indiscretions in a very white, unabashedly Eurocentric society.” He continues “education is a means for something else-whether it’s developing your self to better serve people, to support your family or marketability.” Dr. Johnson states “that blacks have served in served America widely, account for a black GPD of $632 billion, homeownership is near 50%, are of all religions and trades and are inescapable in the fabric of America’s lived experience and defy easy categorization. The number living in poverty is 25%, which is too high, of course, but a vast improvement over indigence of the past.” He continues “If, instead of denial and avoidance, our leaders and opinion makers-who have dismally failed to address the serious problem of black male culture for over half a century because it is easier to apologize for black underperformance, tell the men in the audience that each and every one of them must become the spiritual and intellectual leaders they should be, then perhaps this latest spectacle in our nations capital will not be staged in vain.” I highly suggest that all of us realize “The black American crisis at the dawn of the 21st century and become more of a solution to this crisis especially in our own community, than being a part of the problem. The JS could be more helpful in publishing more black writers with common sense and who have an ability to convey more realistic messages to all. Posted by Merle Widmer at 10/14/2005 03:56:00 PM

James Lee Burke - Author of "House of the Rising Sun"

Burke always was a populist but in his later years has turned to Socialism. I believe most of us have many parts of socialism and populism in our brains. But most of us, I think, still do not accept either as dominant in our lives and in this country. This book is not for the faint of heart but as usual James Lee Burke tells it like it is with a lot of the usual missing parts that are found in all works of fiction.

"Little Soldiers" - Deeply Concerned About Public Education In This Country?

Then read this non-fiction book written by a Chinese author, Lenora Chu, educated in the U.S but now living in China. Disturbing but very interesting.

North Korea Says It Won't Negotiate With A "Hostile America"

What say? They are calling the "kettle black"???? As Trumps says you don't negotiate with those whose prime purpose is to kill you. So true but the devil in charge of North Korea is a Hitler without Hitler's overall power. One nuclear strike against this country or it's protectorates and North Koreans are history.

Hate Groups in the U.S.A.. - Who Are These "Groups" and How Many Are There?

Some one reported a figure of over 900 hate groups in this country. I suppose that include hate groups like "Black Lives Matter', all the gangs hating and killing each other,(reports indicate their are over 250 gangs in this country, Mexican, Blacks, Whites, Chinese, etc.), hard Left-wing media groups that hate Trump and dozens, maybe hundreds more out there that are hating and killing innocent people. My Thesaurus describes groups as #1- A number of persons or things located close together, or considered or CLASSED together. That being said, their are probably a few thousand hate groups in this country. Interesting but sad.

"Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick''

I believe this quote was attributed to President Theodore Roosevelt over 100 years ago. That was then. This now. Soft talk only gives the deadly enemies of our country more reason to try to bully us. Same goes for bullies in schools, the street, or basically in all walks of life. The only language today's different type of bullies understand is a show of ones real strength. Trump was exactly right in properly identifying our enemies and calling them what they are. North Korea's "leader" has power. So did Hitler. Those among us who still believe that "the meek will inherit the earth" are going to be slaughtered, sooner if not later. From the start of recorded history, there have always been people who intimidated, tortured and killed thee weak. Consider the invasion of the whites into what was later called America. Th power of the whites won over the power of the Indians and Mexicans. Please encourage all to read history.

Florida May Be First State to Execute Drug Dealers

I support as I've blogged before. Certainly not on their first offense and a lot of other considerations. Singapore has few drug problems and they have been executing for 40 years.

1997? Sure Rose. Why Did You Take the $100,000? Surely You Weren't a "Working Girl"??

Of course, rape happens. Definition? Like a Supreme Court Justice once noted on pornography, "I don't know how to describe it but I'll know it when I see it". Witnesses or just a woman's word against a man? As Iv'e warned before that having sex outside of marriage, especially when both the accused and the "victim" are stoned, is RISKY business no matter how much she says she loves you. And 20 years later make accusation AFTER others do? What a world we live in. Noteworthy is that publicly, few black women ever claim they were raped. Just an observation. Now my critics will say I don't believe in rape. But some of my readers are just plain stupid. I can tell by their anonymous attacks against me.

Community Word, Owned by 17 Democrats Also Prints Vile Untruths By Sherry Cannon

Here is one of Sherry Cannon's frequent lies. Her headline is, "No Justice or Mercy in Donald Trump's Department of Justice". She ends her diatribe by writing, "We have more black people under the age of 16 in our prisons with mandatory life sentences than any other country in the world. This administration will be one of the CRUELEST since the post-Reconstruction Period". Fact - We have NO 16 YEAR OLD black people in our prisons with mandatory life sentences. She also wrote that "we will get through all the EVIL that Donald Trump brings". (6/17) And she handles youth programs for Carl Cannon's Youth Groups. Dear God, no wonder Peoria leads the State in Black STD"s and Black's failure to take advantage FREE EDUCATION.

Sherry Cannon, A Hard Left Democrat/Socialist and Perhaps Marxist is a Frequent Contributor to the Travelers Weekly

Sherry Cannon, who I believe to be the wife of Carl Cannon who runs the Elite Youth Program, where Sherry Cannon works with Elite kids, is a frequent contributor to the Travelers Weekly, Peoria's oldest and perhaps only black newspaper. Her latest article, more than a thousand words long contains 10 paragraphs accusing the Trump NINE MONTH OLD administration of about everything but introducing slavery to this continent. She quotes Trump as saying to African-Americans, "You're are living in poverty (for a majority, that is somewhat true but 95% have TV's, CP's, clean water, air conditioning and heating, refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, cars or nearly free transportation and free food and clothes), you're schools are no good, (Pretty true in the inner city. Not the fault of MOST teacher who TRY to educate 3rd and 4th failed black and many white generations), 58% of black youth are unemployed, (True, but 56% of them don't know what work is and couldn't hold a job available), what the 'hey" have you got to lose by electing me? She then lists 10 half truths and outright lies and ends her lengthy vicious attack on President Trump by saying "You're presidency ain't working for us". What have black leaders and their ill-informed followers done besides protests, complain and hold grief meetings? So with horribly sore losers like Sherry Cannon and her ilk, like Lyndon Johnson's Welfare Society, Barack Hussein Obama and his millionaire wife, the Clinton Cabal, Billionaire George Soros types, Hollywood Know-Nothing, the mainstream media, 90% of all BLACK people, the black leadership, stymieing his every move, how can he get the best things done for ALL PEOPLE, our and his country? Why would sore losers, and just plain losers as most black leaders are, make note of all the positives of this administration, which I strongly support as an Independent. Work together? Increase welfare and increasing payments to uneducated single mothers, handing out financially unaccounted block grants, continue Socialism supported by 45% of all citizens, illegals. millionaire kneelers, Sanctuary supporters, "bleeding" hearts, etc. Sure. I again ask the Journal Star to check into a fair assessment of the Cannon's Elite programs. Fair from the JS? Hmmmm.

Peoria Public School Board - Only 2 Members Get it Right - Check More Closely On What Carl & Sherry Cannon Are Teaching.

When the school board vote 5-2 to give Carl Cannon another $65,000 dollar amount to continue or expand his "teaching" of his Elite Group of students at another tax funded PPS school, only 2 board members voted to FIRST find out some results of the previous hundred's of thousands they have given him over the past decades. Five board members didn't care. NONE of them pay substantial property taxes so it's really not their money. I am calling for an investigation by the JS or a neutral group of the Cannon's programs. His wife Sherry handles youth programs for the Elite Group. Sherry Cannon is a hard left Democrat/Socialist/Marxist. She must have a great influence of what goes on with the Elite Group led by her husband. With 7 black homicides and a hundred wounded so far this year, perhaps Carl should write about his eff forts to stem the rising tide of violence mainly black on black. More on Sherry Cannon tonight.

Illinois Infrastructure

Rated #17 worst out of fifty states but rated 15th highest in spending. I have been trying to get this message across for years. Privatize all highway work in Illinois including Peoria whose infrastructure would probably rank in the top worst 5 in the nation. Pray for a mild winter with little freezing and thawing. Lot's of luck. I hope to go South sometime soon.

Moneywise 411 Prints What Appears t be a Lot of Fake News

Moneywise claimed that bill 6012B was about to become a new law. Bullcrap.

Shot Spotter - Would That Have Helped in Vegas Terrorist Attack??

Yes, we all grieve for the victims. Thousands of peoples lives were changed by one nut case. Many people must have known this guy was mentally ill. Especially his girl friend and mother. I call him a terrorist, yes, he may not have been a member of a group but he was a hate group by himself or he was a follower of a hate groups I would classify hate groups or individuals as terrorists when they resort to violence. As investigation proceeds more facts will be presented by authorities that should make us all more vigilant to what is going on far away and around us. Terribly sad. This country has so much violent hate flowing; this hate magnified and further stoked by media looking for sensations to build their following. Of the severely mentally sick, how many will be inspired by the medias to get an opportunity to make headlines similar to this? A lot.
