Best pizza I ever ate! House of Pizza is below the Press. I was a hospitality consultant for the Best Western there. I don't miss the cold!

By the way, not one of my friends knows about this software. It was in the papers but only in the small print of the financial sections. They are also unaware that our money no longer has the government backed guarantee on it that it had up until about 3 years ago. It's not possible to place money in any financial institution in NZ, and have it guaranteed.

BTW, my nickname has nothing to do with my disposition although some of you might want to believe that. My friends gave me that nickname because I'm really good at catching crabs. I used to go crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay and now live in Florida.

Read this about social security cuts. It's in the works.

8 Years of doing nothing.......because ......

Peaceful protest is one thing. Plots to assassinate an elected president are treason. This is not okay. The bottom line here is that the value of opinions is not based on 1) working with U.S. intelligence (I did and it is irrelavent). 2) Presidents are elected by the American people a very large number of them have no degrees or are PHDs. Very few of those who have been very successful, i.e. Bill Gates had formal college degrees. 3) The ends do not justify the means if it is a plot to kill a president or one about to become one.

This is not okay. These people are not patriots and they do not care about America. What basically happened with the middle and lower class is the Midwest outvoted the coastal areas.

Hillary Clinton did not win the popular vote. This is a myth.

Although some states require some form of ID before voting, California, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C. all require no identification before voting.

comment: So is it any wonder Hillary was courting illegal immigrants? It had nothing to do with a love for African, Asian, or Latin Americans. It was a power grab to win the election. The two-faced politics which are documented in tapes and recordings talking behind the curtains show a belief there are two agendas - as per other presidents - one on camera - one off. The number of lies and total falsehoods are legion.

Over 3,000,000 votes were illegal immigrants and should not have been counted and were. If those votes were correctly discounted, Trump won by a mandate of the people. You are not going to see this on mainstream media. Just like as you ask many protestors about major issues in Syria, jobs, our economy, and how Hillary was going to devastate the rust belt with her policies, it is unlikely many even care.

Trump is the only one that can effectively deal with China. They hate Hillary because in her last disaster of protesting human rights she made an enemy. He is the only one who can effectively remove Obamacare which is a disaster.  A large number of major insurers will not accept it and all premiums will soar. These protests are being organized by minority organizations. The one in LA was and Mexico is terrified they are going to back out of NAFTA and we will actually get some of our jobs and companies back and have tariffs on the huge cheap goods coming from Mexico which are destroying businesses and jobs here.

America is a business and we need a successful negotiator and someone who can deal with other countries. We need to build a stronger military and not become a nation which is more interested in supporting people who are not citizens than protecting and helping our own.

We have had eight years of hell with no significant change or improvement of America. It was time for a change and we got it. The election was fair (despite fixing of votes, allowing illegals to vote, and a complete volly of survey and samples (polls) which were wrong).

None of the celebrites who said they were going to Canada or leave did. As for Trump the Chump - this could be replaced with Hilary the Criminal. She committed crimes - set up pay for play through the Clinton Foundation. There will still be under investigation.

A lot of people are happy about Trump- at least 50% of those who voted. They are not horrified or unable to accept the reality. Some are so upset  they are willing to try and kill Trump. They advocate violence, killing policeman, and even hate whites and are more racists than the ones they complain about. In a society dominated by them they would hunt those who disagreed with them and kill them.

This demonstrates  the reality behind the special interest groups and they want to do this. Some plots have already been uncovered and people arrested.


In addition to the one who wrote this,  how many are out there are committed to Anarchy and will try?

I hate it when people, such as yourself, use your credentials to justify your opinions over the opinions of others. You have no evidence that Donald Trump will make a good or bad president at this point and neither do I. So why do you feel more qualified than the rest of us with regards to this past election simply because you worked on bioterrorism, traveled to communist countries, or worked for a major bioterrorism exercise? Just because you are an expert in one aspect of something does not make you credible with all of your opinions which is exactly why I believe that you are overly full of yourself. No doubt you can provide some value to this forum, but YOU are not the authority on all discussions. How dare you tell me to "take a hike" simply because I have a different opinion than yours! Since you are a bioterrorism expert, imagine if Hillary were elected and she continued to maintain an open southern border and import thousands of Muslims into this country, one of which could bring in their bioterrorism weapon. Now imagine a Donald Trump who wants to bring some sanity to our southern border and shut off Muslim immigration until he knows what's going on and how they can be vetted. Muslims are coming into Europe from all over the middle east and Africa, not just Syria. Why is that? Have you not paid attention to the terrorism that has already taken place in Europe and the United States recently? Orlando shooting killed 50 and injured 53. Dallas sniper attack killed 6 and injured 10. Minnesota mall stabbing killed 1 and injured 10. Manhattan street bombing injured 29. Brussels attacks killed 31 and injured 300. Last years' Paris attacks killed 130 and injured 368. 2004 Madrid train bombing killed 192 and injured 2,050! If all of that wasn't enough, we've had all those wildfires that were set on purpose out west over the past 5 years or so and now we have new fires on the Georgia and Tennessee border, many or most were set intentionally. Bin Laden once told his followers to "burn America down" and it seems that someone is trying to do exactly that. If bioterrorism concerns you so much, then why doesn't an open border and Muslim immigration do so too? Your stance against Donald Trump seems highly contradictory to me. Now imagine and open border, thousands of Muslim immigrants, and VX, ricin, aerosolized Ebola, or something else. Isn't THAT your line of work? A vote for Donald Trump was also vote for legal immigration and sanity with regards to Muslim immigration. If we're both still alive after some horrific terrorist event I will send you the photo that depicts our country dealing with all those dead people after a terrorist gets into our country either from a porous southern border or from a Muslim immigrant.

The more impressive people are the less they feel the need to brag about their accomplishments. The more respected within a community, the less they need to call attention to any formal qualification or job title.

I don't know if this stems from their insecurity or arrogance, but it is highly irritating to even try and have a two way conversation with such people.

Dr Stack is not just respected here for his wisdom, which we have all seen demonstrated as he has been proved right repeatedly about things.  But, also for his extensive inside knowledge of the security and political systems within the USA.

I have just been watching our news-media going into meltdown of Trump-policy speculation.

I knew about the nerve gas, Chuck.  But I still think an end to the conflict, absolutely any end at all, is better than the continuing conflict.  If the war is over then he has no reason to gas his people anymore.  

Burning an American flag is treason and you won't see any support for these people from the military or soliders who fight to give them the freedom to protest. Calexit is an attempt for California to succeed from the United States and how patriotic is that?

When finally all the social programs are cut because the working people cannot afford to pay for illegal immigrants who have overwhelmed all government services in the state, then there will be chaos and anarchy.

This is sickening to others in the military who have lost people who died for America and now we have minority organizations and special interest groups trying to destroy the United States.

Why would they support a woman who is a criminal and has endangered the national security of our country? When their fathers and mothers and children die trying to sustain order in a police state which they have made to happen, no one is going to go on CNN and say - "Well I guess that was a mistake."

We were on the verge of a global nuclear war. If Hillary had declared a no-fly zone in Syria - that would have done it. If we do not solidify and unite and start rebuilding our country and our military, they will be arguing in the ashes. What kind of heritage will New York have then?

"So son, there were all these protesters right here and they wanted to change things and somehow they did. They opened the borders and thousands of ISIS spilled into New York City. It only took one bomb."

Ps.  Did anyone notice that Medclinician predicted the riots?  Awesome!
