Prediction 5/21/17: Trump will drop the Muslim ban and you won’t hear a thing more about it. It will be like he “changed his mind”. 

Even though I am second generation American born, I had Middle Eastern grandparents, and I sort of understand at least some of the Muslim vibe. That’s because the Middle Eastern desert culture really rules in that part of the world, regardless of the country or faith. At the heart of all desert cultures is an open your doors and heart to a stranger philosophy. Once you are welcomed in that desert culture, you experience a friendship that runs deep because the act of welcoming is instilled in the desert cultures and religions. When Middle East countries squabble, I often say “I don’t get it. They all eat the same hummus.”

And so, Donald Trump just got religion – Muslim.  In a few days, he probably just got more proximity to religion that he got in his entire life. He is experiencing an exceptional desert country welcoming. Let me be the first to say  this: Trump will drop the Muslim ban forthwith and you won’t hear anything more about it. It will be like he “changed his mind”. He’s is seeing the good side of the desert people; it really does exist. I’d go so far to say that even terrorists’ family members (not those that have already tuned into monsters of course) could be considered “welcoming” to an open-minded reasonable person, once they are invited to share a meal with them. (That’s also a big deal in Middle East cultures.)

Etymology note: The word COMPANY breaks down to COM (which means collective or together) + PAN(Y) (which is a well known root word for bread, as in “pan” or “Panera” the well-known food chain. Company was first defined as “break bread together”. That is a very early Middle Eastern meme. 

And though getting religion can be a good thing, But know this about Trump’s learning on the job. It’s very expensive! And we all are paying the president’s tuition bill every day. We pay with all the daily commotion, judges, security in multiple homes, congressmen bickering, expending energy and taxpayer dollars and ending up with what? – a president who should have known better to begin with. The Russiagate story and investigation also employs people paid by us – taxpayers.  And he won’t even show his taxes to be helpful. We will have to subpoena them – and that causes us yet more expenses. This is not caring, responsible, conservative or proper behavior for a US president. But that is Trump.

… know this about Trump’s learning on the job. It’s very expensive! And we all are paying the president’s tuition bill.

So that’s not a good thing, is it really? One of Donald Trump’s known business modus operandi has been to sue people and cause them so much expense in defending the suit, regardless of merit, that they go away – or go broke. He is doing the same thing to our country now, but without the law suit. Trump is a lot of work. We can’t afford him, nor should we have to pay for his education and criminal defenses. We have our own kid’s to educate. And so, all this wasted effort is a daily drain on our collective American resources and wealth.  Drip, drip, drip.

Time to get a new faucet, before we drown in debt.

Joseph Aronesty is an ex-classmate of Donald Trump. Look though his many prior blog posts and share them widely. He believes the court of public opinion will ultimately rule. – “Sharing our opinions and learning from each other is the only salient path we have in these trying times.” JA

Since when does selling arms to anyone make the world a safer place for anyone?

Have we forgotten Saudi Arabia sponsors terrorism! They had a direct hand in the 911 bombings, the day the world pivoted into its current state of tension. Saudi Arabia still provides sources of funds and support for terror everywhere. It is arguably the world’s most prolific sponsor of international Islamist terrorism, supporting groups as disparate as the Afghanistan Taliban, Al Qaeda and Al-Nusra. 

As we cover Trump’s trip to sell arms to states that sponsor terrorism, and we allow him to say things like “this will create jobs in the US”, we should ask ourselves “are these the kind of jobs we even want to create?” These jobs potentially put blood on our hands if and when these weapons are used. And if they are not used, Trump has said “Why do we even make them?”

Over time, nothing good for common people can come form an arms deal.  These same jobs could just as easily be created to produce safe energy. But as long as Trump is president, that sort of foresight is “not going to happen, folks.” (Pardon the pun.)

The only reason this weapons deal is even going down is because Trump is getting a kickback for brokering the deal. He has no charity or benevolence in his soul. He is what he has always been, a salesman. Never forget that. Trump and his family have got the secret bank accounts to deposit Middle-East funds into. And we won’t find those accounts if we don’t insist on seeing their tax trails. 

Free Press: Stop making this trip out to be anything more than what it is for the Trumps: a for-profit arms sale tour/family vacation.

Weapons of destruction do not line the path to peace. Trump, who never studied or even cared about history, is oblivious to the certainty that over time, the same weapons he makes and sells today routinely fall into the hands of our enemies in the future. And then both our soldiers and citizens are endangered. Terrorists’ weapons are most often USA made weapons. Yeah, Russia too. There’s a sick competition if there ever was one: Who can profit the most from human death. But seriously, after the weapons are delivered, no one can say where will end up. 

No. Enough of this. That path to peace is only paved with making the lives of ordinary people better via education, and a generous sharing the common wealth. People won’t be driven to suicidal killing if they enjoy their everyday lives. It’s that easy.  And as we continue to allow greedy billionaires to run our planet, here there and everywhere, we allow the meme of global annihilation to perpetuate itself. Sad. The motives of the players on both sides of this arms deal equation have never been benevolent. I find this entire arms tour to be stupid and sickening. I wish the press would cover it with less support. It’s almost like they are koshering this tour and the Trumps. For what?

Ironically, Trump is now arming the Muslims. Yesterday he said “Muslims did not like Americans and our way of life”. He is currently trying to ban Muslims from entering the United States. Why on earth would he sell them arms? Anything for a buck, huh?

Listen to Joseph’s Song for Healing. Soon to be a video.

SONG FOR HEALING

Trump just called Comey a nut job. He is trying to paint Comey as a sort of traitor. Why is this happening now? It’s easy to understand, once you realize the original and singular reason for Trump’s run for presidency.

Trump’s presidency has always been about the oil deal that Obama would not allow Exxon to do with Russia, owing to the Ukraine invasion. That’s a 500 billion dollar deal. Trump has a cut. So does Tillerson. Tillerson is the person of interest or one of a few persons of interest.  I will say it first here. 

Trump is a traitor. He is now blackmailed by Putin, who is turning up the pressure to get that deal done before he is impeached. If he does not get the deal done before he is impeached, Putin will leak the truth out, and then – Trump will not only be impeached, he will be found guilty of high crimes. He should be arrested today. He should not be allowed to leave the country. He may even have to seek asylum in a foreign country. He has plenty of secret funds there. 

He can’t control his message. It’s no this message folks. He’s dumb, but not that dumb. These messages are Putin’s. And he has to put them out. He is compromised. Tillerson, Sessions, Pence, Bannon, Page, Ross, Manafort, Flynn, Ivanka, probably Mnuchen, and maybe McConnell – all part of that compromised team. 

We need a complete reset. Share this widely. 

Donald Trump. Something may be dawning on you today. Are you feeling it? You’re not terribly essential or important to most Americans. America is much bigger than you, sir. You’ve not created any new technology, nor invented or done anything of real value for the betterment of Americans like say entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, have you? You don’t have a reputation for being charitable, like Bill Gates – do you? And you certainly have not created any worthwhile art, have you? 

Sir, you have a hotel chain. So does Marriott. I like Marriott. They give me reward points and they provide a reasonable value in upscale hotel rooms. But your hotels were built on the pain you gave to others because you took every opportunity to screw the people who built them, sir. And you spew hate. I would never stay at at Trump hotel. I wouldn’t stay if it was free.  Your chain’s brand is now tarnished with your name, which has come to represent what is worst about people who have too much money. I’ve heard in many countries they are taking your name off your hotels so people will stay there.

So now Donald, you are going to learn one thing that you should have learned long ago. You are not the center of the universe. No one is. It’s a good thing actually. No man is an island. I picked that up somewhere along the line as well. 

Americans are now intent on finding out if you, or your employees, worked with foreign governments to affect the outcome of a United States national election. Most Americans have read between the lines, and think you and/or your team will be found guilty. The Las Vegas odds are now even that you will not make it through 4 years, and those odds are dropping every week.

HONOR

We have a long proud heritage here in the USA that spans about 250 years. Many of our fathers, sons and daughters have fought and died to preserve America’s democracy, culture and honor. But you seem to not even know what that word means. Honor means “one word”. As an etymologist, I can tell you that the “hon” in honor represents one and the “or” represents oral. It’s that simple. When a person has one word they have honor. That means that the words they speak come from their hearts – that they don’t have a hidden agenda.  But to have honor, first one has to have a compassionate heart.

We have never seen much honor from you sir. You dodged the draft. You welshed on debts to your workers. That is the essence of not being honorable. You said it was smart to not pay taxes. Gee, I don’t think so. Taxes are how we invest our shared wealth to create a better country. That’s how we made America great the first time sir. How could you have missed that? Tunnel-vision? Americans should be proud to pay taxes.  You said you were not. That was one of the few sincere statements you made when campaigning. 

Investigative Journalists Are American Heroes

You seem to say what you think people want to hear to like you. Sad. You were once overheard saying “they only know what we tell them, right?” Hey, I heard that salesman school talk from my dad too. But it was depression survivor philosophy and we were born into a completely different generation. I took it with a grain of salt – and you took it to heart.  Is that why you say the free press publishes “fake news”? You’d like it if there were no free press, right? So we could only hear what you tell us, right? Well, that’s not happening sir. You sort of know that now, don’t you. It’s really not Russia here. Maybe you should move to where there is less free press. As it turns out, the real heroes in our country have been our investigative journalists. They pushed on as you tried to silence them. They will continue. You have been good for their business. Ironic. 

Karma

And we are now conducting an independent investigation of your campaign to win the presidency of the United States. So soon we will be demanding your taxes. You know, those papers that you have refused to disclose to the people you serve, in the hopes that the dirt they hide won’t come to light. And if this is a witch hunt, you are the witch we are hunting. I find it funny you call this the “single greatest witch hunt”. Even as we search for the truth, you brand that search as being the greatest ever. Everything about you is “the greatest”, huh? But if this is the greatest hunt for an evil person in US history, its because you are the single greatest sicko that has ever won a POTUS election. I won’t even dignify you be calling you a president. You may have won a game show called the election of 2016. But you never had the brains, cred, respect, honor or patriotism to be a real US president. 

We are resolute. We will get to the bottom of this. Then you will either step down, back into the empty, loveless, dishonorable life you emerged from, or be impeached.  One thing I was taught at Penn, while you were busy being a playboy – was “your character is your destiny”. It’s unavoidable. You missed that one. Poli-sci class. Cool stuff. 

Also, that newer one that goes “karma is a b*tch”.
