It's Not What One Does. It's who They Are

If most anyone broke the law ten times and put their country in jeopardy by allowing foreign nations to gain access to top secret information there'd be hell to pay.

You all know by now that Hillary skated. She also lied by telling us there no classified emails on her server. As it turns out there were 111. Also, thousands more were, according to FBI Director Comey on her server but we'll never know about them.

Have you noticed, since Comey's speech, Hillary has not brought up the investigation one time. Since she's been 'exonerated' one would think she'd be screeching that there was nothing there all along. There was no there there. I have to wonder why she's kept her large mouth shut.

There happens to be a bigger picture for me and I'd like to share a few thoughts.

All members of Congress, from both sides of the aisle, don't care a whit about the common citizenry. The President and his Cabinet don't care, either. Obviously, law enforcement officials along with most members of the Supreme Court(Judge Scalia was an exception) don't give a hang, either.

Does Trump care? Nope.

There are two driving forces in the lives of all politicians: First, from the time they drag themselves out of bed in the morning their most important thought is, "What can I do to get elected". Secondly, who will give me money and how long will they provide it? If K Street in DC blew up the lobbyists would be out of the business of graft and corruption for a little while at the very best

If this reads as doom and gloom get over it. It's been this way for hundreds of years. Do you remember the movie, 'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington'? The main thrust of the film was a rookie congressman(Jimmy Stewart) who wanted to get elected to help the people. Think about this. It was only a Hollywood production which means it wasn't the real world.

On This July 4th Week-End: A Coincidence Or Divine Providence

Some of you may not be aware of the relationship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. They were, to say the least, adversaries in political thought but were patriots to the core. But, in later years they reconciled their differences.

Adams, from Massachusetts, was what would be considered a pro-government person. Jefferson, from Virginia was pro states rights. If you happen to be a liberal they both served as presidents of the United States and were signers of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Great Britain, commonly referred to as England is across the Atlantic Ocean from us(That's the one opposite of the Pacific Ocean which is borders the coast of California, Oregon and Washington).

Both served as presidents and did their nation well.

Was it coincidence or Divine Providence? Adams died on the morning of July 4, 1826, fifty years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. His last words were, "So, Jefferson survives me".  Little did he know that Jefferson died a few hours prior him, also on July 4, 1826.

It's Good To Be Rich. Just Ask Michelle O.

Michelle Obama's bill for a one night stay in Marrakesh came to a paltry $600,000. She toned it down for an elegant dinner by limiting herself to a $3,000 dollar dress.

It's good to be rich especially when so many in this country are suffering.

Parents: If Your Son Is An Athlete And Plays Only Baseball Wake Up

Let me begin by saying I love baseball. It is our only pure sport in elegance and performance. To be a baseball player one must have speed, coordination, hand and eye skills and an entire plethora of talents beyond the naked eye.

I read an article the other day about something called Tommy John surgery. Mr. John was a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers a number of years ago and had an elbow problem. Dr. Frank Jobe, the Dodgers team physician came up with a process of replacing John's damaged elbow ligament with a tendon from another part of his body. John went on to have a fabulous career.

But the story doesn't end there. In another article dealing with high school athletes who play only one sport, specifically baseball, the results were dramatic. Those kids have a 58% chance of having this surgery. After reading the article it makes sense to me.

Being a former athlete I understand the importance of using the entire body when pitching a game. Actually, the hips and thighs provide the power but most kids will use their arms rather than the previously mentioned.

The long story short of this piece is kids, eighteen and under, need to participate in a variety of sports which allows them to use a variety of muscle structure instead of only an arm. There is too much specialization in our sports activities. Parents should allow kids to be kids and play as many sports as they desire.

Pretty neat, huh?
