Christ is Still the Reason for the Season!

"Christ is Still the Reason for the Season!"

(God's Message of Hope and Salvation still Holds True)

By Glenn Peppers                                           

Greetings everyone! And as singer Andy Williams once sang in a song, may this be "The Happiest Day of the Year" for all for you! For on this day, many born again believers like myself use Christmas as a day to celebrate the birth and beginning life of Immanuel or as his name is pronounced in his native Aramaic, “Yeshua!” Who is Emmanuel (meaning God with us)! In the book of Matthew, the first chapter, starting at verse 20, an Angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph in a dream, and bestowed upon him this message...

Matthew 1: 20-21-22-23

20 "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."

21 "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Immanuel, or Jesus Christ is that one the that Prophet spoke of!

A lot of folks celebrate this occasion and/or holiday season (as some call it), minusing Christ out of the Christmas Equation. When in fact Jesus is the very reason that there is a Christmas in the first place!  

The one day out of the year born again believers set aside to honor the birth of Jesus unto the world has become (in these last 80 to 100 years) a time of rush hour Black Friday's, and Nativity battles, and hustle and bustle commericality, along with Yule Tide Caroling, and folks decorating their houses and trees with fringe and garland, and lights; completely forgetting (excuse my cliché) “The REAL reason for the season!”

I love this time of the year with its gift giving, and "Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards Men" Message! In fact, this saying and act of gift giving is in actuality is a carry over from gift's given to the infant Jesus by the three wise men who traveled from the east, following a beaconing light or star right to where Jesus was born, and bestowed upon Him gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

Believe it or not, even this secular saying of, Peace on earth and goodwill towards men" reminds and encourages millions of people everywhere of that time when God sent his only begotten son from heaven to come here and walk this earth as a man, and to eventually die as a poor man on a tree for the sins of the world!... For our benefit, and our salvation! Restoring our original immortal place and standing with God, byway of Christ' washing away our original sins and indiscretions; natural and both individually committed sins done in this life. Therefore preparing us for life eternal once our walk on this earth is finished! 

So, no matter how you commemorate the welcoming of Jesus Christ to this world some 2000 years ago, in that cold manger when there was no more room at the inn. Always remember the REAL reason for the season! 

Some hoop and holler about the correct day and exact date of his birth; and that December 25th is not the actual day of his birth! I think people use this as a means to pick, argue and antagonize Believers with dogma, and contradiction in dealing with people who are Born Again! I’ve heard experts say that Christ was born somewhere in July! I’ve heard that it was closer to what we call on our calendar, January! For me it doesn’t matter! I’ve taken into account the fact that his mission on earth was completed just over 2000 years ago. And to say the least, an event that happened so long ago, in a land so far away could be reason enough to be confused when it comes to exact day, dates and times! 

Some or a lot of us don’t remember what it was we were doing, 20 years ago on such and such day. On such and such date! When so and so’s sister was born, or when so and so graduated from middle school to high school on such and day and date, after 30 years or more! Thank God for photos with dates on certain pictures of people places and events! Thank goodness for photo albums, yearbooks and all those loose photographs stored within those old family Bibles! You know how even events this recent can get clouded and lost to time and poor record keeping. Imagine trying to keep birth and death records over many millenniums! 

The fact that God put the redemption of humankind in motion so long ago, you can imagine what kind of changes have gone on in all that time! The Gospel being shared and spread out of northern Africa, through lower Europe, and interpreted into Greek out of its original Hebrew, then interpreted again by northern europeans, and shared again for hundreds and hundreds of years onto now. I would expect that exact day and dates for a lot of world changing events over time would become mudded and faded to age and time. 

Does anyone know what day and date, man discovered the wheel? Yet the wheel exist! Does anybody know exactly when and how the Pyramids were created, yet they stand! Has anyone pinpointed an exact day and time when the earths inner aquifers released simultaneously along with a great rain and deluge of water, from the skies when it was time Noah closed the Ark? What exact day was that?

What day and time was it when Noah set sail and prepared for this long stay and journey aboard this huge floating rescue vessel when the skies cut loose with rain from the clouds for the first time, causing a great flood over the entire earth? I wonder what day and date the moment all this occurred? It wasn’t as if Noah had no idea of what time of the day it was, or what day and date he was living this adventure. The bible tells us in Genesis this info:

“In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark.” Genesis 7:11-13

Noah also knew what day and date the and dove did not return to the ark after being released in search of dry land and returned not with anymore Olive Leaf branches. And soon the ark settled on a specific date in history relative to Noah’s years in age! 

“And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.” Genesis 8: 4!

Marking these days and dates were crucial in that they were on board a mighty ship and on a voyage that demanded this kind of records and time keeping, if not but for one’s sanity! Sometimes its not so much when exactly did certain things happen. It may be more important that the events happened at all! Plus with God there is the faith factor! There is the element of faith involved in all this as well! 

Ah yes, this world does always seeketh a sign for everything, doesn’t it! There are great authors, some actors, and politicians and statesmen, and even great great grand parents of ours who never knew the exact date that they were born, yet they lived, and here you and I stand because of it! 

Therefore I use December 25th as more of a day of Commemoration of Jesus’ birth onto the world! I celebrate this day for God gifted mankind with a blessed hope of eternal life! For me December 25th is a point of contact, and a time of Remembrance of how so long ago, despite how humankind has tried to alter, para-phrase out, make illegal, falsely manipulate people with, and even go so far as to try and change the meaning of the word over these past hundreds and hundreds of years. God’s original message of Hope and Salvation remains Unchanged!

God is still on the throne, and prayer still changes things! Setting aside Germany and the turn of the century America’s Coke Cola creation of Santa Claus and all the Yule Tide expressions of garnishments and adorning of lights and or candles to trees and such. The act of giving in this all so commercialized way worked its way into this culture, as if to squeeze or nudge out the original meaning or reason for Christmas! Well people I’m here to tell ya! 

Christmas is what it is and no more! A time Born Again Believers use to remember and Commemorate the Birth of He who was promised to the world as far back as the Old Testament in the book of Isiah! Well before the New Testament! If Gift giving is done, I suspect that this is of those individual’s personal choosing. Doing so in remembrance of the Three Wise Men giving gifts unto an infant Yeshua, after following a mysterious beaconing light which led them to the exact spot where this young child was being born in a manger! 

This is how I I’ve learned to ignore the commercialism, and the hustle and bustle of what Coke Cola and their slick advertisement ploys did almost 100 years ago, and still impacts our lives to this day! I say that the Coke Cola Santa Claus pitch could very well be the most successful advertising ad campaign in history. Introducing all the old world Santa Claus images and Lore into early american Christmas culture. Buffering non-believers rhetoric, while slowly over time, honing in, and trying to edge out Christmas’ original meaning! 

I guess people who do not believe in God or Christ always try to find a way to dismantle everything they can about the things of God! I’m thinking that that’s what the deal is on all that confusion foolishness that occurs around the time that we Believers Commemorate and acknowledge the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ come Easter time! 

I just wonder where all the distraction of some of those creepy Easter Bunny, and easter eggs came from!... I’ll just keep my faith in the Lord, as he asked us to do well before mankind started to try and change and manipulate the word of God!  

God bless you all, and dare I use the Yule Tide saying of Merry Christmas to you all! And no matter what...... Jesus is still the original reason for the season!

“In Defense of a Black Woman’s Right to Pain, and Therefore Cry!....”

“In Defense of a Black Woman’s Right to Pain, and Therefore Cry!....”

By Glenn Peppers                                                       December 16, 2016 4:02am

“This piece started out as a comment on one of my Facebook post. And a friend of mine liked it so much that she wanted a copy of it! So I thought that if she wanted a copy of it. Maybe more women of color would like to read my little assay on what I thought of a black woman’s generational, and unsung pain and suffering that has been so grossly over looked for centuries! I felt that sharing it on The Corner View was a good way to spread it around. So, I hope you enjoy my prospectives, and through this piece will expound, open up feel free to express your hurt and pain through whatever means you feel necessary. And please do share if you can!..”

They say that black women complain! They whine! They Bitch about Everything! As much as they’ve gone through over the 600 years here in america, with just about everybody, in every culture! I should think that they would have the right to complain, if not just a little bit!

I think it is so unconscionable and insensitive to think that after all a black woman has endures, and has suffered through that she has no right to protest, or no room to cry! No one has suffered and yet still tirelessly helped along virtually every human culture of the western world that they've come in contact with since Genesis! 

Baring children while nursing white babies, while at the same time (back in slavery and just after that in Jim Crow), taking care of and nursing just about everybody else's children while their own children ate food of lesser quality. And wore clothing worn and tattered while white babies were cleaned and pressed in new clothes and shoes, and eating well; not to mention the slap in the face of having to raise those children as their own for over a lifetime, despite their own health issues and woes, and to have those now grown children, deny you! Ignore you and treat you like a dog, as if they hadn’t sucked life’s nutrients from your breast as an infant! As if you’ve never patched their skinned knees, or hemmed their torn jeans!

Often times going completely unsung, a black woman's knowledge (Math and Science) factors are astounding! A black woman's pain, as well as her ability to absorb and withstand pain-registers off the charts! And her beauty is almost always envied and copied the world over! Every culture seemingly wants a black woman's lips, hips, hair, eyes, walk, legs, neckline, vocal abilities, swag and deep nurturing mother earth qualities that some cultures lack in completeness! Then to be treated so badly by their own male counterparts is an atrocity! Especially since a black woman would and in most cases would do anything to keep her man a float! Bring him along, and make him a King!

The black male's failure to hail and acknowledge these queenly attributes in his mother, sisters, aunties and life partner is surly our biggest short coming! Through decades of Social Engineering and many other controlled conditions. Those who would are and have been in the process of trying to weed out, and separate these good qualities out of black women for many a year by pushing and selling the Rump Shaker Circus Sideshow culture byway of our music! 

The same sideshow that made freaks out of black women in England and other places here in some parts of america at the turn of the century. Mocking the unique physicality of black women as sideshow characters, and sexual slaves! So the programming continues! Seems whatever stately and admirable qualities black males have left in us, they are diligently working through infusionary Hip Hop and Rap Culture to weed them out of our young! Infusing Economic Apathy, A failed education system, and more importantly... Drugs! While at the same time ushering in a newer form of slavery 2.0 into society byway of a Privately owned Prison Pipeline system, rounding up and incarcerating mainly black men and women on frivolous trumped up crime charges, and over prosecution! 

I wouldn't doubt that after depressing the black population down to a much controllable degree, that they will have Breeding Farms re-established (if not already) in order to keep the right amount of subservient black men and women around for domestication and sexual purposes!

As men, We can do better! We can do better by not abandoning our women! Sure the system is set up so that in order for a woman to feed her children if they are on some sort of federal assistance program, a male cannot be in the home! That doesn’t mean that we have to settle for that! This is an excuse for some black men to leave the home and romp! Run the streets, and a lot of time be up to no good! 

But what better way to separate the black family! Deny your male counterpart a decent job by outsourcing his place of employment!... Denying him unemployment. Leaving him barely a work program to attain better jobs skills! Flood their neighborhoods with drugs from the middle east, and south america, dulling and destroying their minds, and making them completely unemployable! Making them perfect candidates to sell drugs in order to survive! Commit crimes in order to survive! Or work a job at a fast food restaurant, making just over $7.00 an hour (1979 pay wages), in a world where the economy requires at least two people making over $30.000 a year to support a home mortgage or a decent apartment lease. 

So, how does a black man save face to his woman when he cannot beat the system and at least be able to feed his family when the government undermines your ability as a father and husband by systematically stripping you of your identity as a father, a husband, and a man! Thus just one of the many reasons you see so many single mothers over the last 38 years or so!  

But through it all, the black woman survives, along with her children! Mainly because white society courts you along! White males love black women, yet they know that the cannot completely wipe out the black male, or in the long run, there’ll be no more black women to do with what they choose! So in the mean time, they are satisfied with twisting the arm of the black man to show him whose boss by taking his shorts from him, and degrading him in front of his woman and his children. Helping to destroying any real respect for any male figure in the eyes of his daughter, and his son; a soon to be young black man!

On a scale of infinity. Black women are and have always been more educated, more heart smart, and practical than black men! A black woman has almost always stood up and led the fight in many civil rights arenas! Yet they go unsung! Most young blacks today cannot tell you about any other female champion for human rights outside of Rosa Parks, and Angela Davis! 

Despite the dumbing down of our culture, black women still far out number black male college attendees by a more than a wide margin! Black men have their excuses for not taking higher learning on as a life’s goal and project! Most of those excuses are steeped in pride! How many times have I heard, “Man I need to work! I ain’t got time to sit up in no damn classroom!” The need for a black man to hustle in order to survive has been apart of black culture from day one in america! Mainly because we were in some cases denied decent employment. So when no one will hire you, you go out and hustle up some green backs for your family, so that they can eat! Regrettably, this became a mainstay in survival mode whenever there was no work. Or when the black man couldn’t find any places that would hire him!

Michigan was a wonderful automation, mass production state! It did well producing cars for however long this was profitable! But what it also did was paralyze some males of just about every culture in mostly southeastern Michigan. Because a lot of us guys Black or White or Hispanic (and I’m one of them) went straight outta school and into the plants, in order to make that Big Money! When it was profitable, we worked at Chrysler, Ford and Chevrolet. And every little small parts plant in between that supplied them! If you were a man in lower Michigan, Who Needed School, if you didn’t have anything particular in mind that you thought you wanted to do with your life? So you worked in the factory! 

Mind you, this doesn’t in a nutshell explain the entire situation good or bad between black men and women! This is just my shake on just some of what is wrong with why even after all they’ve been through. People have this heartless idea that black women somehow do not deserve to complain or vent about how really screwed up life has been for a great many women of color who chug right along! Half sick sometimes. Crampin’! And just keep on keeping on despite the odds, and mistreatment!

Ah, but through it all. Black women were and still are vastly intelligent! They went to school to be teachers, and back in the day before a home computer was even a thought, they studied to be Key Punch operators (computers in their infancy). And trained for many other phases of employment for a whole slew of occupations outside of the auto industry! Black women wanted to be accountants, healthcare executives. Television producers, pharmacist and doctors or all sorts. 

And there it is again!.... A great many aspired to become, Math and Science Teachers! Through the mind of a black woman shines the wisdom of the Ancients that is so commonly over looked! The echo’s of mother Africa, the very place where humankind was created emanates from my sister’s like a bell ringing an alarm! And it is calling out to everyone. Not just to the black man, but to everyone! That as Maya Angelou said, Through every kind of adversity, “Still I Rise!” 

Not only has the black woman risen from the ashes from most every kind of calamity, great fall, viral and genocidal attacks, and systematic upheavals! They shine through it all beautifully! So in times of hurt and pain, after you exhale; know this my sister’s that it is ok to cry! That given what you’ve suffered, and who you are, you have every right to release that inner pain churning inside of you that has been bound up for so long! Know that even Super Women hurt! God bless and keep the super women of the world, for us men. The so called stronger sex really do need them!... Badly!

"We Are Not Safe!"

“We are not Safe!”

(Black People have Never really been Safe in America)

By Glenn Peppers

Slavery and Plymouth Rock aside! When you look at it. Black people have never actually been safe in america! Sure most of us live our lives quietly. Confrontation free. Blatant racism free with barely a “Look Mommy, a Nigger!” comment made in a lifetime! Then there is that other part of black society that’s set deep in the real deal! The way things are and have been for quite a long time! 

This new President is always shouting that he wants to make america great again! As if there was ever some significant point in american history when people all nicely coexisted, and got along just fine, and everything was hotdogs and ice cream! 

Maybe on a garden variety of 1950’s TV shows, and sit-com’s, yes things were fine! Well, they weren’t really even then. If you could find a black person on TV back in the 1950’s, early 1960’s in one week. You be lucky!

Things have never been good for black people here in america! We’ve just skated along!... Waited out white anger. Took the crumbs, and stood back and settled for second best, holding ourselves back from showing our true talents and creative selves for fear of being murdered! Much like all those lucrative creative black folks were in Tulsa, Oklahoma back in 1920! An entire town of black people, bombed by air and completely wiped out because black folks had wealth, ingenuity and smarts. White’s jealous of this set out to kill off the entire town based on a lie started by a white woman! 

To put a finer point on my case. We’ve never really been safe here in America! Sure some of us have gotten by with barely a “Fuck you Nigger” from any white person! Let alone be beaten within an inch of your life by the police in front of your children! 

When you add up the situations and places, and circumstances on which we’ve lived our lives. Its a wonder that we didn’t all just jump on some tramp steamer back in the 1920’s and get the hell outta dodge heading back to Africa! 

Well hell, we couldn’t do that! A great lot of us were too busy trying to fit in, and be apart of a country whose only want and need for us is free enterprise through domestication. Sexual enjoyment or our demise!

When I sat back and thought about it! Since they dragged us over here from Africa. we really have not been safe, Anywhere in this country!

Not in our own homes! Not on the street in front of our houses. Not at the super market, or the open air market. Not even in your car! We’ve all been pulled over for being black on a sunny day or a dark night! Or for driving that really nice car that some jealous police officer thought that you shouldn’t own, simply because you’re black!

We are not safe in the mall’s, or some shopping centers! Not in some movie theaters or ball parks, a great many restaurants, coffee shops, and some gas stations! Heaven help you if you play your music too loud! Some old white dude may think its is his appointed duty to kill you for it!

We’re not safe in the playgrounds, nor at Wal-Mart playing with a BB Gun. Or walking home from a connivence store toting a bag of skittles and an ice tea! It is not safe for any of us to even look as if one of our tail lights is out on a car that we own. 

I think of Sandra Bland when it comes to this! Its not safe for most black and hispanic women to go to jail for some strange reason! Why they end up dead in a holding cell after being arrested for broken tail lights, or traffic tickets is still a mystery to me!

Some of us feel that we are not safe within our healthcare system! Most hospitals and clinics treat us differently. Billing and treatment-wise. 

Even the optometrist can be someone you may not trust or want to visit! Ask me about the optometrist who dilated my pupils with some really strong eye drops that affected my ability to focus, and see a long time afterwards. Ask the men from Tuskegee who were experimented on for over 30 years by the government! Black me who were injected with Syphilis for well over half their lives!

We’re not safe in the military, ask black women about that one! Nor are some of us safe at work! We’re not safe in just about every facet of life here in america! Especially in travel! “This land is your land, this land is my land” truly does not fully apply to black people! Try going to certain areas of upper Michigan heading north towards Traverse City alone!... 

Some of us have been lucky, and some of us have just been in the right places at the right time! And that's ok, because you are alive!

Yet and still. I know for a fact that as a black person in america, you at one time or another have had your Black-Folk Wakeup Call! Be it ever so shocking, or ever so subtle! 

Know that things haven’t really changed all that much since the civil rights days of the 1950’s! Its just that now days, everything is High Tech is all! Also know that things may not be getting better either because of the likes of an on coming President who pushes hate and intolerance, and has infused a message of hate and obstinance into white america that has become viral and almost demonic! 

This evil is the one thing that will keep this country at odd with everyone, including itself! This hate will eat away through to the core of this nation! 

In the process I say, do panic and do not fear or hate in return. Just know that things are not perfect. Nor shall they ever be! Watch your 6! Watch your brother’s 6, and let the reality sink in that because things seem to be better than they were in Jim Crow doesn’t mean that things are ok! Nothings ever perfect! Thus one of the reasons why as a people, we are not safe!.... Take care of one another! God bless!

“Be Careful What you Wish For”

President Elect, Donald Trump

“Be  Careful  What  you  Wish  For”

(Oh S**t, I’m the President!)

By Glenn Peppers                                 11-11-2016

“Oh S**t I’m the President!” To me that was the look that Donald Trump had on his face as he came walking out to the podium, along with his family the night of his win over Hillary Clinton for the Presidency of the United States, as he walked toward the podium, he looked (to me) as if he were a man going to the gallows, more than claiming a victory, for the presidency! he looked undone!

Why does he have that look on his face?

Donald Trump if not anything else by nature is an open book of emotions out of pure reflex, which mostly often shows up on his face to his joy or displeasure. And the look on his face that night, and from the pictures and live feed that I saw, especially when he sat down with Barack Obama in the Oval Office was one of, “Oh Shit, what the hell have I done?” 

This was the first time that I ever picked up a vibe that this guy swag was so far out of whack that he just looked as if he was feeling totally out of place, like a three year old at his mother’s book meeting with all girls and no toys to play with! He clearly locked up, and acted totally out of his element! Which is completely uncharacteristic for an ego maniac like Donald Trump! Sitting there with solemn looks on their faces, they both looked as if they had had a fight in the lunch room at school, and were now sitting in detention after school!

Donald Trump sitting with Barack Obama in the Oval Office

That old saying is true folks. “Be careful what it is you wish for! Because you just might get it!” Sometimes, you can talk yourself into a fight or a battle that is bigger than yourself! Mouthing off at the bully on the corner is fine. But one day, you’re gonna have to walk by that corner, with that bully standing there, waiting on you! And you’re going to have to do battle!

Personally, I feel that Donald Trump has bitten off a bit more than he can chew! Sure he’ll play the role, and be the mouth that spouted off one too many times, and be every bit as controversial as he’s ever been. But more than this, he’ll never be ready for what it really takes to be the president of the United States! And I’m sure he’ll get the White Card Pass of excuses whenever he screws things up badly! Now that’s just my thinking! 

Hell, he might prove me wrong! But as I see things, the job involves way too many responsibilities, ethical demands and a graciousness that he seems to lack! Being president is a 24 hour a day job! Now I’ve never been president of anything, but I can tell you from what I’ve seen and heard from president’s past and present. The one thing the job requires is diligence and a keen listening ear! One other component of being president involves poise and dignity! Not to mention a noticeable care an concern for the american people and this country! 

I don’t think that Trump is ready for Secret Service people being around him all the time! He appears to be a private man who slinks away from people when he feels that he is being besieged upon or hounded. I think that he is use to his own security people, and telling them what to do, and will quickly become annoyed at being followed all the time by people who are not fully in his control! This billionaire rich guy named has his confirmed comfort zones already established, and breaching them might end up being a problem for him! 

Trump has already shown that he has a clear destain for the White House Press (as well as most any media based operation). This was clear because immediately after his meeting with President Obama, Donald Trump hurried off to his TRUMP Jet and was outta Washington in a heartbeat! And all without the media catching wind of his wheels up and out toward New York! Ditching secret service or the white house press might not be a good idea as president! There are things that he just better get use to as president! 

See, being a president also means that there are secrets and unseen protocols that have to be answered and attended to... And there’s that operative word again.... “Secretly!” There are diplomatic moves, and modes of communication with all world leaders that are almost traditional in nature that I don’t think Donald Trump is ready for! Will he be ready consistently, every morning for the CIA and Homeland Security daily briefings at the crack of dawn, instead of sitting up in bed Tweeting insults to Rosie O’Donnell, etc! As president, that will have to stop! 

Its like he's saying in his mind, "Umm, Ah, I'm not sure!"

I question his ability to compromise and possibly work on a bipartisan level on issues and laws, and bills offered up! How will he handle disaster relief during hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or heaven forbid some kind of attack on our soil, or any other catastrophic event befalling our planet? Playing and acting as President won’t help the millions who will need a clear thinking, knowledgable leader for the people! I get the feeling that the Presidency to Donald Trump is just another possession! Something to Own or WIN because of a dare; or maybe because Barack Obama mades jokes about Donald Trump at a press conference dinner four years ago! 

I remember watching that broadcast, seeing Trump sitting out there in the audience looking angry and prune faced as if he could bust as Barack Obama made some pretty funny jokes and humor at the Donald’s expense! This I feel was the spark that lit the flame for his umbrage, and his raw passion to engage, and win the White House; and to become President of the United States! To me his run for the presidency was all drudged out of Donald Trump’s, “I’ll Show that N***R!” Moment! And whatever Donald wants, Donald get’s, Right? 

Well, now that he’s shown america’s first black president that he could in fact take his job from him, and shave the world a new real fancy goatee, He now looks as if he wants to say. “Ok, I proved my point. Now let me go back to Trump Tower, put on my Trump house shoes, and my Trump robe and snuggle with my Trump Binky and Tweet mean evil cyber messages to people!”

We all know the excited look Trump has on his face when he’s winning and is truly satisfied! The look he had on his face Tuesday night, late Wednesday morning at 2:48am was not one of celebration! It was the look of “Oh Snap! They bought it! They really bought it!” 

Over the last year or so, it kept looking to me as if this man were trying intentionally to sabotage his campaign! I mean seriously, he’d say and do some of the most outlandishly mean and cruel things, and yet people just kept supporting him! And the crowds became wilder and even more unruly! Jim Jones couldn’t have had any better Cult Followers! 

It was almost as if Trump was trying to piss people off, so that he wouldn’t have to advance to a one on one race for the presidency with Bernie or Hillary, yet he couldn’t stop this steamrolling, runaway train wreck once it got barreling down the tracks at break neck speed! 

So now this 70 year old man will have to turn his business over to his kids, and actually work for a living! And his work will be quite involving indeed! Yet and I’m sure that Donald Trump will acclimate into the job just fine, soon enough!... To a point!  We all know that he will have epic battles with somebody in Washington, sooner or later. That’s a given! Who will it be? Who knows! 

But you can bet your bottom dollar that this man will not hold his tongue (nor his actions) for long! And that what worries me a bit, because Trump’s sense of revenge for what he would consider acts of betrayal against him could be detrimental to all of us! Lets say that he thinks or even suspects that somehow his idol, Mr. Putin has thrown him under a bus one day! Will we all be in danger of a World War event as a result? I’m praying not!

Still, not even thinking that far ahead! Let’s just talk about the next couple of months! Being president is taxing on the mind, as well as the body! Look at every president who has been in office over these many years! If they didn’t dye their hair, a great majority of them went completely gray within the first four years in office! Look at how gray Barack Obama has become in these almost eight years! 

Obama Graying quickly in 7 and a half years

The many secrets kept (many for our own safety), and secrets that if we all knew would ruin us, as well as our peace of mind! Can Donald Trump handle such things without having a true poker face? There are things going on in this world, and on other worlds that you and I don’t have a clue about. How will Donald Trump react to things that would give the bulk of us nightmares for life? I shutter to think! I just imagine all that Orangey wispy hair turning a bright silverish gray in a matter of a few years, if he doesn’t dye his hair!

Ok Mr. Trump, you proved your point! You’re the President Elect. Now the question is this. Constructively, what are you gonna do with it? If you’re talking about deporting millions, and all those other horrible things you boasted about in all your rallies, than you are not what America needs! So if not anything else. Wipe that, “Oh Shit, I won, what am I gonna do now!” Look off your face and listen to those around you who know how things get done in Washington. And please, do not drag with you that clown car of inexperienced people who’ve befriended and kissed your ass along the way to Washington with you! Nepotism and Favoritism should not be part of the plan! 

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again!...... “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!”
