Internet Blackmail?

I know many of you are a lot like me, I rely on the Internet for most of my research. Yes, I have to be very careful and mindful of the sources of that information. A lot of what is on the internet is just opinions of the people writing it without any fact checking. Like the news on TV and cable these days seems everyone has an agenda.... everyone has an opinion, facts are irrelevant. Data is based on "surveys" and not research. So be careful where you get your information, dose it seem to be backed up with facts or just numbers pulled out of their backside?

If you are a business owner, like myself, we are completely at the mercy of the internet. It is so easy to be targeted by so-called-watchdogs. Almost every rating group has a fee that they expect all business people to pay for a good rating. Some of you have seen it in the press, the shake-downs that has been occurring. Businesses once contacted, that don't pay, get poor ratings over night. Only negative reviews show up from nowhere. Stories are related that never happened. But, the damage to your reputation is real!

All I can say is, do your own checking. If you see a business and you are interested in it, try it yourself. Check it out, be careful in case it is true, but at least give it a good look. Don't miss out on something good because of "Blackmail" or "Revenge" reviews. It is so easy for bad people to hurt good people on the internet because there isn't any recourse for the business. No business can afford to pay ALL the fees from ALL the ratings companies without going out-of-business.

When it comes to business, the happy clients and customers don't go out of their way to say thank you or write good reviews, in a way, good service and products are expected, aren't they? Don't you expect good service and products? So there isn't any driving force compelling you to express the obvious. And it's fine with all of us in business, we don't expect to be praised for doing our job! The propblem is the people that can't be pleased or a morals-less competitor.... we all know some of them. Nothing you can do will ever satisfy them. Some people just look to cause trouble, some people get off on inflicting pain and grief. This is life.

So all I'm asking is to be aware that the internet makes hate and vindictiveness easy. Don't be used as a tool to hurt and ruin good people, but don't get taken by a bad business person either. Just be as fair minded as you can and understand that "Bad Reviews" are like "cockroaches" you can find them everywhere and are hard to kill and they multiply like crazy. On the other hand, happy people leave happy and really don't think about it, so good reviews are more rare and an unexpected pleasure to receive and treasure.

Take care and be safe.

RETROACTIVE TERM LIMITS, our ONLY chance.

The greatest thing we can do to limit government and GREATLY reduce the "Crony Capitalism" that is running a muck in Washington, is "Term Limits".

• 2 Terms for the Presidency MUST stay!
• 2 Terms for the Senate is the ONLY way to reduce the corruption there. They MUST be imposed RETROACTIVELY! Everyone that has already been there for two (2) terms CANNOT run again.
• 4 Terms for the House of Representatives, again RETROACTIVE! 
• a Ten (10) Year Limit to the Supreme Court!

Man by nature is corrupt, the more power the more corruption, absolute power absolute corruption! Term Limits is the only way to limit power! Term limits must be placed at the Federal AND State levels. To keep our Republic, the ONLY one that has ever existed. To survive we need and must have TERM LIMITS.

"Divide and Conquer" then "Marshall Law".

Please think about this short story I'm going to share with you. Two brothers spotted an old loaf of bread that must have fallen from a merchants cart earlier in the morning. Both were hungry and divided the bread in half, a Politician watching from the side was also hungry. He stepped up and pointed out to one brother that his piece was smaller than his brothers and went on to say that it's a shame how his own brother was cheating him!

The other brother than said no, here we'll exchange our halves I would never cheat my brother. The Politician then says, see now that he has been caught he is willing to share, how many other times has he cheated you? As the brothers started to argue and soon began to fight, the smiling Politician reached down and took both halves for himself and ate as he walked down the street with a chuckle and a laugh. That my friends is "Divide and Conquer".

Looks like we are getting very close to all hell breaking out... blood in the streets will lead to "Marshall Law". Do we really want that? I have been saying for a while now, that I believe this has been the goal of Washington for some time now. IF, they can get us to fall apart with all the economic and social issues that THEY have created. IF, we take the bait and start attacking each other, THEY WIN. They get a Dictatorship and we get the Shaft.  Take care and be safe, stand by each other so they (Washington) doesn't get their most treasured dream, Rulers of America!

The Iran Deal OR No Deal?

I personally have never been more concerned than I am right now on America's future.

Before the "Deal" we all knew where we stood, first Israel, then us! That is what the Iran leaders have been saying for years now. Israel because they are Israel and us because we are the only ones that stand between Iran and Israel. Right or wrong - good or bad - the reality is that Iran wants to "wipe Israel off the map" and "fly the ISIS flag over the white house". I don't know about you, but a nuclear weapon in the hands of a leadership that has pledged to destroy us is very unsettling. Before the "Deal" Iran had no protection from a military attack to destroy their nuclear facilities.

After the "Deal" they get $150 billion dollars, upgraded centrifuges, intercontinental ballistic missals and WE have to defend their facilities from any attacks! So they are guaranteed to have a nuclear weapon under our protection! How does that make any sense at all? Deal OR No Deal = Nuke OR NO Nuke, where is the question? Take care and be safe, I hope!

Is Hillary just a Smoke Screen?

With all the baggage that comes with Hillary, and all the arrows she is taking in her run for the Presidency. One might think that she is a Decoy or Smoke Screen, there to take all the arrows and then, at the last possible moment. She is replaced, do to overwhelming issues, and the NEW candidate is there with no real time to vet them, and able to slide in under the wire! hummm, is that plausible? Bernard "Bernie" Sanders, Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr., Elizabeth Warren? Think about it. Take care and be safe.

Global Warming Hoax

I just uploaded my old article on Global Warming... I really can't believe how many millions and billions of dollars this has cost our country and how many more it is going to cost. Until someone can explain how the previous 4 "Warming Cycles" occurred when there was less than 125,000 people on the earth! How did THEY cause it? Hummmm. Take care and be safe.
