Eggplant with eggs?  Don’t think I’ve tried that.  Sounds yum! 🙂

Jennifer Dombrowski – I would probably borrow from King Solomon: “There’s nothing new under the sun”.  Actually I would not use the phrase “today’s world” at all.  But that’s just me.  🙂  In my mind Krishna’s thought is complete with this minor edit.

But in today’s world People are unfortunately more interested to pull the carpet from the other persons feet and see that he is down and not equal to them. strange are the ways of today’s world where cut throat competition has resulted in the world not having respect for the other individuals opinion.

Thanks. Appreciate your remarks only I disagree with you on one point. What you refer to as “today’s world”? That attitude has been around since Cain and Abel.  Humanity has been on that “path” for a very long time!

No he does nothing surprising. I’m glad there are a lot of “eyes” on him though. I’m glad he mentioned “the people” and their ability to govern themselves in his inaugural speech. If he thinks he was just uttering “empty words”, he better think again.  A lot of US took those words very seriously.

Head hunting agencies make good money. It’s not hard to scout out people with talent. The talented ones rise to the top so they can be easily seen. All they have to do is “dangle the carrot” and see if they will take a bite.   Most bite!  🙂

Well, of course, I don’t know the man personally. (For the record, I also don’t know Vladmir Putin or Rick Perry personally.)  But to say the last two days have brought to light the kind of man Mr. Trump is must mean all those other days you weren’t paying attention. Donald Trump revealed his character many many years ago, long before he ever became POTUS.

Why is anybody totally surprised by anything he said or says, does or he is doing? He is acting and deciding things that are totally in character. In “his character”. Nothing he does is a surprise.

And why do people keep saying we have to “wait and see”?

• The only thing I’m waiting for, is for the next 4 years to be over!!
• I hope I’ll still be alive and well to see it!
• I pray during that in period of time there won’t be another Civil War or a World War 3!

No I wouldn’t think you were making it up. Those “woo the employee packages” can be quite nice. You were joking. But I was serious about my comments. I was actually thinking of people from other countries other than Jamaica and I was also thinking of Americans who do go over to countries that are not their homeland and try to help. So I took what you wrote and my mind went off in a sort of different direction.

Neither my husband nor my father were “abducted”. They both came on their own.

(P.S. Trump is not trying to chase away people with KSAs – knowledge, skills, and abilities.)

Nobody is holding the “abductees” here in America. They’re staying of their own free will. I’m just thinking. I have no way of knowing. But I think that many would be happy to come back to their native land and build it up. They just don’t want to wrestle and wrangle with corrupt government officials who want to skim the cream off the top of any of their good works. Their good works are for the needy; not the greedy.

So if I made it good in another country, but the country I left behind always cuts off opportunities, I’d rather set up a scholarship fund and make a way for kids from my country to get an education in the country that has treated me well. Maybe they will have the energy, the resolve, and fortitude to go back home and fight the power!!

Like I said before. My dad and my husband are both from The Bahamas and they have friends from Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, etc. I know the island folks get into some really heated AND INFORMED discussions about politics; especially the politics of other countries, as they clearly recognize though they may be island countries, “no country is an island and no country stands alone”. What happens in one country can definitely spill over into the other country!  So I’m sure there are lively discussions going on WHERE U AT!!  🙂

Jay grance – Not afraid to say the truth??  Oooh boy! I lean more toward the response by kaylar regards your comment.  It’s kind of hard to digest what you said!  Maybe it’s because I just woke up and haven’t had a breakfast yet.  But my stomach nerves started jumping when I read what you wrote.  Not afraid to say the truth??  Sorry but I need verification.  Fact check please!  I’m not just taking that statement at face value!

I disagree that he is going to make America a laughing stock. If for no other reason than, in order for America to be made into a laughing stock, that would mean he himself would have to be made into a “laughing stock”.  He’s American too!

• It’s one thing if comedy shows like Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show can write skits about you and it’s one if late night talk show hosts like Stephen Colbert, Jimmie Fallon, etc. can take a few “jabs”.  That’s just joking.  Trump may not like the jokes or appreciate the humor.  But he gets that its is comedy.

• It’s an entirely different thing to make a fool of yourself on the world stage. Trump is not ready or even planning on doing that TO HIMSELF!  Cause that’s not funny!   He knows that will be his history IF HE DID!

• Some of US are confused.
• Some of US are indifferent and don’t care.
• Some of US are ignorant and unaware.
• Some of US know how to stand up for our rights and in doing so, all the citizens reap the benefits of US taking a stand.

Greetings to you! 🙂

January 28, 2017 at 8:33 am

Oh! If only! That would sure fix our immigration problems! That’s not going to happen.  That’s just wishful thinking.  🙂

I respect your courage to speak out, but I disagree with a lot of what you’ve said. I’ll narrow it down to what I think (I said “I think”) is the most significant of the points you presented.

It’s a bit too early to start feeling sorry for the American citizens. In case you haven’t heard via the news reports, Americans are making their voices heard, their concerns are being publicized, they are not the least bit afraid to disagree the leaders and/or protest, etc. When we can’t do that any more, then you can feel sorry for US.

“Childish” would be an excellent description, except that we understand that children have a sweetness and innocence about what they say or do and they mean no harm.

By the time you reach the age of 70, nobody should be applying that word to anything you say or do. Especially not if you’re in the highest Office in the country! People should be coming to you for wisdom, instruction and advice on how to do the right thing.

But I have to accept you use of the word “childish” because at the moment I can’t think of another more suitable word to apply to his actions. Or should I call them “distractions”?

I confess to having thoughts that perhaps the constant tweets are a convenient “smoke screen” to distract everyone from what’s really going on ~ that is to say, events that are NOT being Tweeted or reported in the media, “behind the scenes”.

I distinctly remember him asking the question, something to the effect “Does our government know how to keep secrets?” He used the attack on Mosul, as an example. Said that by the time we finished talking about what we were going to do via the media, when USA finally arrived in Mosul, “all the bad guys had left”.

There may be some truth in what he said. But on the other hand, my concern is:

• How far is he willing to go to … “keep a secret”?

It’s a legitimate question and concern.

Between his own tweeting, and

– having US guessing because people “who need to know” have no clue what he thinks on very critical, serious and urgent issues, and

– hearing “nonsense” being reported on TV like … “Oh! When you talk to Trump in private, he’s a very different person from what you see and hear about him in the media. He really seems very sensible.”

*(Heard some sort of sillyness like that on one of those morning shows, like “Good Morning America” or something.)

Oh really?

So he seems a reasonable man when you talk to him in private, you say?

Uh huh.

Well if Mr. T. can be sensible in private, then as POTUS he should be even more sensible in public! TEN TIMES MORE SENSIBLE!!!

NO EXCUSES!!
