Football and Donald Trump
OPINION:
Football and Donald Trump
Trump reminds me of a defensive back named Jack Tatum. He wore #28 and played for the RAIDERS in the 70's. They called that defensive backfield/secondary 'SOUL PATROL'. With that being said they were all Black - Not that it matters. Tatum was intervied once/several times and he said "I'm not here to tackle you. I'm here to hit you so hard you go to the sideline and tell them to take all the plays across the middle off the playback." In other words, he was there TO CHANGE THE/YOUR GAME. To prove the point, there was a wide reciever for the PATRIOTS named Darryl Stingley. He was born in Chicago. Tatum made a hit on him in a game. Darryl Stingley was paralyzed. Tatum didn't take pride. He spent days at his hospital bed.
Trump disrupted the OBAMA/CLINTON game plan. He PARALYZED what they wanted to do, yet he has COMPASSION for his OPPONENTS.
TRUMP 2024!!!

A GAS LITE [TRUE] STORY About EAST PALESTINE
A GAS LITE [TRUE] STORY About EAST PALESTINE
I was listening to the East Palestine Mayor speak on the train accident and the lack of response from the Biden Administration while the Biden Administration blamed Trump. They blamed 'deregulation' from the Trump Whitehouse. Even Joy Behar said those people got what they deserved because they supported Trump. THEY GAS LIT YOU [UP].
Look here, this is what REALLY went down. OBAMA wanted to stickitvto the oil industry. He ordered a new regulation in the DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION -NOT THE EPA - that required trains carrying HIGH FLAMMABLE LIQUID PRODUCTS (PETROLEUM/OIL) to have a new, and more expensive brake system that applied the brakes to all cars at the same time. The previous brake system uses applied the brakes to each car individually. The new regulation cost more than the previous system. Here is the deal. The train that crashed in East Palestine wasn't required to have that new brake system. It wasn't carrying HIGH FLAMMABLE LIQUID PRODUCTS. The Administration knows this. They lied to us. They GAS LIT the country...like they ALWAYS DO
Now, in regards to the regulation: Complaints started coming in to the DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION that said the regulation was not cost effective. Those complaints came in during the Trump Administration. The DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION referred the complaints to CONGRESS, NOT THE WHITEHOUSE. CONGRESS told the Department of TRANSPORTATION to conduct a COST/ANALYSIS and give the data to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and have them write a report. Congress got the report and killed the regulation.
It had nothing to do with the EPA, TRUMP, or anyone in the Trump Whitehouse.
QUESTION EVERYTHING!!!

Obama Was and Is A DIRTBAG
OPINION:
Obama Was and Is a DIRTBAG
When Obama talked down to the 'Brothas' that was the last straw for me. I voted for him twice. And like millions of Americans I then voted for Trump twice, and also, today, a 3rd time.
Looking back, Obama was a DIRTBAG. He came from Marxist roots. I have 5 reasons that show he was a DIRTBAG.
1. He used the IRS to make it hard for Conservatives to get 501C3 status (Lois Lerner)
IRS apologizes for targeting conservative groups
US funds aided 2015 campaign to oust Netanyahu, Senate probe finds

4. The East Palestine Train Wreck LIE:

Abortion is NOT REPRODUCTIVE CARE ... You're NOT reproducing ... Abortion is NOT Reproductive Rights. There are people in Prison for aborting babies in the 3rd Trimester. Democrats want YOU to pay for abortions on demand up to the DAY OF BIRTH.

How Harris/Biden Made New Homes More Expensive

I found this article. It basically explains Backdoor Fascism by people who call others 'Fascists'. [Guilt by Allegation]. They are also backdoor controlling what we can buy.
Fascism: You own it the Government tells you how to run it. They are telling businesses what to make all in the name of 'Climate Change'. They are making life more expensive by design...to pay off their donors and skim off the top via campaign donation. AOC, the GREEN NEW QUEEN, has rounded up 42 Million Dollars. "Anyway" ....
How Harris/Biden Made New Homes More Expensive
From Casey B. Mulligan on X:
"I'll let others argue the effect of inflation on housing costs. Here are 16 other ways that Biden-Harris made new houses more expensive, whether owned or rented.
They tightened regulations on:"
microwave ovens (88 FR 39912),
conventional ovens (89 FR 11434),
stovetops (89 FR 11434),

SURVIVAL TIPS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
.jpeg)
SURVIVAL TIPS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
You may be in Mail Order, Direct Mail, or you may be a local merchant with 150 employees; whichever, however or whatever---you've got to know how to keep your business alive during economic recessions. Anytime the cash flow in a business, large or small, starts to tighten up, the money management of that business has to be run as a "tight ship."
Some of the things you can do include protecting yourself from expenditures made on sudden impulse. We've all bought merchandise or services we really didn't need simply because we were in the mood, or perhaps in response to the
flamboyancy of the advertising or the persuasiveness of the salesperson. Then we sort of "wake up" a couple of days later and find that we've committed hundreds of dollars of business funds for an item or service that's not essential to the success of our own business, when really pressing items had been waiting for those dollars.
If you are incorporated, you can eliminate these "impulse purchases" by including in your by-laws a clause that states: "All purchasing decisions over (a certain amount) are contingent upon approval by the board of directors." This will force you to consider any "impulse purchases" of considerable cost, and may even be a reminder in the case of smaller purchases.
If your business is a partnership, you can state, when faced with a buying decision, that all purchases are contingent upon the approval of a third party. In reality, the third party can be your partner, one of your department heads, or even one of your suppliers.
If your business is a sole proprietorship, you don't have much to worry about really, because as an individual you have three days to think about your purchase, and then to nullify that purchase if you think you don't really need it or can't afford it.
While you may think you cannot afford it, be sure that you don't "short-change" yourself on professional services. This would apply especially during a time of emergency. Anytime you commit yourself and move ahead without completely investigating all the angles, and preparing yourself for all the contingencies that may arise, you're skating on thin ice. Regardless of the costs involved, it always pays off in the long run to seek out the advice of experienced professionals before embarking on a plan that could ruin you.
As an example, an experienced business consultant can fill you in on the 1244 stock advantages. Getting eligibility for the 1244 stock category is a very simple process, but one with tremendous benefits to your business.
The 1244 stock encourages investors to put equity capital into your business because in the event of a loss, amounts up to the entire sum of the investment can be written off in the current year. Without the "1244" classification, any losses would have to be spread over several years, and this, of course, would greatly lessen the attractiveness of your company's stock. Any business owner who has not filed the 1244 corporation has in effect cut himself off from 90 percent of his prospective investors.
Particularly when sales are down, you must be "hard-nosed" with people trying to sell you luxuries for your business. When business is booming, you undoubtedly will allow sales people to show you new models of equipment or a new line of supplies; but when your business is down, skip the entertaining frills and concentrate on the basics. Great care must be taken however, to maintain courtesy and allow these sellers to consider you a friend and call back at another time.
Your company's books should reflect your way of thinking, and whoever maintains them should generate information according to your policies. Thus, you should hire an outside accountant or accounting firm to figure your return on your investment, as well as the turnover on your accounts receivable and inventory. Such an audit or survey should focus in depth on any or every item within the financial statement that merits special attention. In this way, you'll probably uncover any potential financial problems before they become readily apparent, and certainly before they could get out of hand.
Many small companies set up advisory boards of outside professional people. These are sometimes known as Power Circles, and once in place, the business always benefits, especially in times of short operating capital. Such an advisory board or power circle should include an attorney, a certified public accountant, civic club leaders, owners or managers of businesses similar to yours, and retired executives. Setting up such an advisory board of directors is really quite easy, because most people you ask will be honored to serve.
Once your board is set up, you should meet once a month and present material for review. Each meeting should be a discussion of your business problems and an input from your advisors relative to possible solutions. These members of your board of advisors should offer you advice as well as alternatives, and provide you with objectivity. No formal decisions need to be made either at your board meeting, or as a result of them, but you should be able to gain a great deal from the suggestions you hear.
You will find that most of your customers have the money to pay at least some of what they owe you immediately. To keep them current, and the number of accounts receivable in your files to a minimum, you should call them on the phone and ask for some kind of explanation why they're falling behind. If you develop such a habit as part of your operating procedure, you'll find your invoices will magically be drawn to the front of their piles of bills to pay. While you should maintain a courteous attitude, don't be hesitant, or too much of a "nice guy" when it comes to collecting money.
Something else that's a very good business practice, but which few business owners do is to methodically build a credit rating with their local banks. Particularly when you have good cash flow, you should borrow $100 to $1,000 from your banks every 90 days or so. Simply borrow the money, and place it in an interest bearing account, and then pay it all back at least a month or so before it's due. By doing this, you will increase the borrowing power of your signature, and strengthen your ability to obtain needed financing on short notice. This is a kind of business leverage that will be of great value to you if or whenever your cash position becomes less favorable.
By all means, join your industry's local and national trade associations. Most of these organizations have a wealth of information available on everything from details on your competitors to average industry sales figures, new products, services, and trends.
If you are given a membership certificate or wall plaque, you should display these conspicuously on your office wall. Customers like to see such "seals of approval" and feel additional confidence in your business when they see them.
Still another thing often overlooked: If at all possible, you should have your spouse work in the business with you for at least three or four weeks per year. The important thing is that if for any reason you are not available to run the business, your spouse will be familiar with certain people and situations about your business. These people should include your attorney, accountant, any consultants or advisors, creditors and your major suppliers. The long-term advantages of having your spouse work four weeks per year in your business with you will greatly outweigh the short-term inconvenience. Many couples share responsibility and time entirely, which is in most cases even more desirable.
Whenever you can, and as often as you need it, take advantage of whatever free business counseling is available. The Small Business Administration published many excellent booklets, checklist and brochures on quite a large variety of businesses. These publications are available through the U.S. Government printing office. Most local universities and many private organizations hold seminars at minimal cost, and often without charge. You should also take advantage of the services offered by your bank and local library.
The important thing about running a small business is to know the direction in which you're heading; to know on a day-to-day basis your progress in that very direction; to be aware of what your competitors are doing and to practice good money management at all times. All this will prepare you to recognize potential problems before they arise.
In order to survive with a small business, regardless of the economic climate, it is essential to surround yourself with smart people, and practice sound business management at all times.

Democracy vs Constitutional Republic

OPINION:
Democracy vs Constitutional Republic
"Democrats, along with Kamala Harris, are gas lit useful fools. They talk about saving Democracy. We don't have a Democracy. We have a Constitutional Republic. They are trying to GROOM you into MOB RULE for their push into getting rid of the Electoral College. If they get rid of the Electoral College the Presidential election will be solely up to POPULAR [MOB RULE] VOTE. In other words, L.A., Chicago, NYC, and Seattle alone would decide every future Presidential election. Big cities need GOVERNMENT. They, unlike rural areas, are needy of Government. I grew up in 'The Country'...Rural Oklahoma. We never had TRASH service ... we took care of it ... we burned it and dumped it on the back of the property. The rain washed the ashes away.
The Forefathers were smart. They didn't have L.A., Chicago, or NYC. They had VIRGINIA. Back then VIRGINIA was the largest state in population. VIRGINIA could have decided the Presidential vote. The Forefathers didn't want that. BTW, all states are NOT the same and all states need representation. Thus, they call them FLYOVER states...NO RESPECT.
Also, abortion rates are HIGHER since the overturning of Roe v Wade. THERE IS NO TRUMP ABORTION BAN!!!
Also, SHE AIN'T BLACK!!!"
RESEARCH:
Democracy vs Constitutional Republic
The distinction between a democracy (often implying "pure democracy") and a constitutional republic highlights different approaches to governance and citizen involvement.
Democracy (Pure Democracy) and Mob Rule
In a pure democracy, laws and decisions are made directly by the majority vote of the people. This form of democracy:
1. Relies on Majority Rule: Every citizen has a direct say on every decision or law, often through a simple majority vote.
2. Can Lead to "Mob Rule": Critics argue that pure democracy risks "mob rule," where the majority’s desires can override the rights or needs of the minority. For instance, without protections, a pure democracy could allow for decisions that benefit the majority but harm or marginalize minority groups.
3. Lacks a Stable Framework for Minority Rights: Since decisions are made purely based on majority preference, individual rights and minority protections could be more vulnerable.
For example, historical instances have shown that unrestrained majority rule can lead to injustices against unpopular or smaller groups, a phenomenon Alexis de Tocqueville referred to as the "tyranny of the majority."
Constitutional Republic
A constitutional republic is a system where officials are elected to represent the people, and they operate within a set of laws (constitution) designed to protect fundamental rights. In this system:
1. The Constitution Sets Boundaries: The constitution serves as a foundational document that limits the power of both the government and the majority. It enshrines rights that cannot be taken away by a simple majority vote, protecting against the potential for mob rule.
2. Elects Representatives: Citizens vote for representatives who make policy decisions on their behalf. This structure is intended to prevent abrupt, emotionally driven changes in laws.
3. Prioritizes Rule of Law and Minority Rights: Since laws and changes must align with the constitution, individual and minority rights are more protected. This structure aims for stability by ensuring that changes undergo thoughtful deliberation, often through legislative, executive, and judicial checks and balances.
The Founders' Intent for the United States
The United States was intentionally set up as a constitutional republic rather than a pure democracy. The Founding Fathers were wary of majority rule because they saw it as potentially oppressive. They created a system of checks and balances, separation of powers, and a Bill of Rights, intending to prevent any single group from having unchecked power, including the majority.
Summary
- Pure Democracy (risk of mob rule): Decisions made directly by majority rule, which can threaten minority rights.
- Constitutional Republic: Decisions made by elected representatives within a constitution that protects fundamental rights and ensures checks and balances.
The goal of a constitutional republic is to balance the will of the people with the rule of law, ensuring both democratic input and protection from potential abuses of majority rule.

Satellite Phone Store
A satellite phone, also known as a satphone, is a type of mobile phone that connects to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial cell towers. This allows users to make and receive calls from remote areas where traditional cell service is unavailable, such as deserts, oceans, mountains, or polar regions. Satellite phones are commonly used by individuals or organizations that operate in remote locations, such as emergency responders, researchers, explorers, and military personnel. They provide a lifeline for communication in situations where other means of communication are not feasible.
