In Memory of Carol Ann

Dedicated to Erin Elizabeth and Deanna Carol


Any society that would give up a little liberty for a little security deserves neither and will lose both.

Georgia Placebo or Guinea Pigs

The President laid out his plan of phases to restart the economy. AKA push the limits of Covid 19. We have a control group of 50 states and 50 Governors. All represent 50 different levels of complication. If we all followed one plan we would all learn the same outcome. Only by deviation from state to state will we experience positive or negative outcomes  to scale. If everyone took the same actions we learn nothing. Even poor outcomes may reveal new information previously unseen. Forward is the only way out and status quo is slow death without necessary education for the future. Let's all watch the leadership in Georgia and benefit from the outcomes.

Fiscally Irresponsible Pandemic

Every bailout takes us one step closer to Socialism in the US. States like  New York who over spent when times were good now suffer from the added burdens of unemployment and lost revenue. Covid 19 is not to blame for the balance sheet of poorly run state economies. I agree with Mitch McConnel the vaccine for States Economies is Bankruptcy not Bailouts There never was a 2big2fail   and New York being home to Wall Street and High Finance need only to grab their boot straps and pull hard, complain less Burma Shave.  Tom

Stimulus Pains

If you thought the Corona was bad wait until we see the effects of all the free cash flowing out of DC. Does anyone think it odd that our Congress who is tasked with levy of taxes depends on the Treasury to pay these expenditures. Congress depends on the Eternal Revenue Service to collect taxes from guess who. Then why would the IRS be tasked with paying out stimulus bucks? Several months from now and certainly after election day we will feel the pressure in our backside as the stimulus knife is slowly removed. The rule of supply and demand will take place and inflation is on the way. If you read our US Constitution you will find that nowhere does it say Congress has the power to gift, credit, grant money or deduction in article ONE. Due to some fancy foot work by George Washington and Alexander Hamilton this wooden nickle comes The Supreme Court. Along with trillions in debt accrued in paper money accounting. Corona is not good for the lungs but free money from folks who have none is a pain much lower in the behind.. The National Debt is at 23.3 trillion today. Take us to WARP 24 Scotty  we need more power.... Burma Shave Tom

Mythical Value of Toilet Paper

I was stunned upon entering my local super market that on the shelf was a pallet load of Toilet Paper unseen for more than a month. Joy over came my emotion as I grabbed from beneath the ONE Only sign above. This was not my first time purchase as I have been a avid consumer for years. In the check out line the product rang up at $7.99 for 8 rolls. A bit pricey I surmised. It was then that I realized the true value of T.P. cannot be measured on the shelf. The intrinsic nature can only be realized in a sitting position in an uncrowded room. It is also true that those without T.P. are shunned by society. I wondered now that the T.P. is on the shelf, maybe we won't see quite as many masks of other patrons. Happy Trails Tom.

Imagine for a moment?

President Donald J Trump is at the White House today thanking Americas Trucking business for the jobs well done during the Covid 19 attacks. I paused to IMAGINE what if we could thank the workers in the shuttered textile mills from not long ago for making masks and gowns sorely needed today. Imagine if we could thank the workers who once made our electronics and pharmaceuticals right here in the USA. Imagine if we opened all our shuttered industry, maybe just maybe Covid 19 would still be contained in Wuhan where it rightfully belongs!!!!!!! Main Street USA has become an open sewer of World Trade Managed By the Pharaohs our very own Wall Street. Shameful to all Americans Past, Present and Future... Happy Trails Tom..

Chinese Pandora or Oopsy We Nuked the Planet

More and more reports are surfacing the Covid 19 disease was hatched by incompetent  Chinese Communist in a Wuhan laboratory. If true, this accident or not must be dealt with in the World Court of Opinions. Clearly the death and suffering is on par with a Nuclear Bomb. With  millions of people dead and trillions lost in commerce a price must be paid. The Punitive Damages should be awarded to every earthling who suffered from Chinese Incompetence. I support the President in restructuring the World Health Organization. The devastation is the only proof I need.... Happy Trails Tom

Blame Game

If CNN, ABC and CBS can blame the President for what he didn't do 6 .weeks ago. Why does none  of the above mention the responsibility of the Governors. Remember the first person to die from Covid19 in the US was February 29.. What about the Mayors are they responsible for every death in their city? No Governors are not responsible for deaths in their state. The President is not responsible for the death rate in the USA. Every American is to blame because none spoke up. Nobody Knew!!!  If you wish to play the blame Game lets blame the media who was silent in January and February and did nothing. The Monday Morning Quarterback is always correct about what should have been done. The security in these statement is we will never prove what might have happened if other options were taken. I'm sick and tired of journalist asking 15 times of 3 different people the same questions in 2 hours then 30 seconds later never mention the answers on live broadcasts. The President and his aids answer all the questions and frustrations never appear until it's answered 4th time. When this pandemic is over we will rejoice over the living survivors not trample on the dead. Happy Trails Tom

God Speed Donald J Trump

In the days ahead the American people will follow their leaders into an unknown future. Certainly this is a time where great deeds are performed by average Americans.The toughest decisions since D Day lie ahead. Watch closely and listen carefully as pseudo politician calculate their response in votes; Big words like IF, Maybe or Unless. President Trump will make the call and the weaker politicians will not object. Objections require thoughts and another plan better. They will remain silent for now. The President must decide what is best for America and it's people. The choice is between bad or worse and is always toughest. The President is not challenged by what is best today but what is best next year and after. People are dying and his decision regardless of options will not change this fact. I'm  grateful that I am not asked to make this decision. As an American I will follow because we are always stronger together. A house divided cannot stand. I support this President and with Gods blessing we will make it through this time.  Great men are chiseled from the challenges they face. This Challenge will certainly create Great Men from your average everyday Hero. It matters not the path we take, only we all go the same direction. No doubt regardless of his decision there will be those who will smear his choices for political tally. For me all I have is" God Speed Donald J Trump" I will never doubt you. Happy Trails Tom....
