"John Galt is author Ayn Rand's archetypal "philosopher hero" in the book Atlas Shrugged. He follows the philosophy of "Rational Self-interest" also known as "Rational Egoism". per gOOgle research
There is speculation that John Galt has been seen at Trumps Mar-A-Largo Estate with Niccolò Machiavelli playing golf while chanting "Drumpt, Drumpf! "
"Die Religion ... ist das Opium des Volkes."
“There is nothing more important than appearing to be religious.”
― Niccolò Machiavelli
Those of us who STUDY and remember History want to utilize the lesson of the past as tools to do better when history appears to repeat itself. We can't repeat the same actions and expect different results.
When #45 met with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel - the look she gave him said one thing.
Dumm·kopf!!!!!

WV Governor brings out actual Bullsh**t to show what he thinks of Budget Bill

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (D) made it clear he thinks a budget bill state lawmakers sent to his desk is a load of bull crap.
Justice rolled out a copy of the bill with poop on top during a Thursday announcement saying he’d veto the legislation.
The governor, who frequently uses props during announcements, brought out three covered trays during a speech criticizing the $4.1 billion budget bill. He uncovered the first two trays to reveal a “nothing burger” and a “mayonnaise sandwich,” references to colorful ways he criticized budget plans earlier this month.
He uncovered the third tray to reveal a stack of papers ― presumably the budget bill, which lawmakers passed on Sunday ― with what Justice called “bull-you-know-what” on top.
That’s poop.
”We don’t have a nothing burger today, and we don’t have a mayonnaise sandwich today,” Justice said. “We all should take ownership for this, but what we have is nothing more than a bunch of political bull-you-know-what.”
Here’s a closer look at the you-know-what.
After vetoing the bill, Justice said he hopes lawmakers will “stop the bull crap.”
“I hope and pray that the silliness will stop,” he said.

Authorities Investigate Mother Who Kicked Out For Supporting Trump In School Election

]When this elementary school student came home and shared with his mother that he voted for Donald Trump in a pseudo-election, she decided to teach him a lesson that has now landed her in the middle of a Protective Services (CPS) investigation.
In an interview with the news station, neighbor Mike Terry didn’t side with the parent’s disciplinary actions. “I can’t believe a mother would go against her like that and put her through that much trauma,” he said. “That’s awful.”
the mom repeatedly asks her why would he vote for Trump, to which he answered that he sees the 70-year-old on television often. “Since you voted for Trump, you can get your sh*t and get out,” the mother said. She later called him a “Donald Trump lover.”
What is wrong with people? They are getting really ugly with each other to the point where a mother will traumatize her own . Years ago, my young voted for Bush in a mock election at school. I had a good laugh when I took him to the poll with me after picking him up from school. He actually reprimanded me when I told him that I voted for Clinton. "You voted for Clinton! That's not very nice. You should have voted for Bush!"
Election 2016, my is a young man. I jokingly told him, "You vote for Trump and I'll kick your butt" His response, "Too late, I already voted for Trump TWICE! I am not voting for that Feminazi. "
Oh Well! Life on Life's Terms! My older boy was voted for Hillary. My younger boy was a Trump supporter. My Step- cast his vote for the Libertarian Pothead. I taught them to be independent thinkers.

THE pol·i·tics of WALLYWORLD!!!!

I went to TEXAS looking for LOVE!!! 
I found WALLYWORLD instead
The Love Connection was a total SCHMUCK!!! 
My thought - Why the FiretrUCK do I have to go to BUM-FiretrUCK Texas to find WALLYWORLD!!!! I can stay in West Virginia - Nevertheless, I worked at WallyWorld in BumFiretrUCK, Texas and BumFiretrUCK, Nevada and VIRGINIA*is for LOVERS!!! (Yeah Right!)
I relocated TWICE for Love but learned that some of the most intelligent men are incredible dumb when they think with brain in their wieners. Although that Texas Trucker was really dumb. He was all wiener.
I should have just stayed with Grumpy. The grass was never greener on the other side. So I finally ended up back in West Virginia to take care of Grumpy. I can guarantee that the Bimbo that he was keeping company would never care for him. She loved his bank account and his pharmacuticals.
The doctors determined that Grumpy was destined to leave this earth so we contacted Hospice. I took a leave of absences so that I could care for him in the home. His Eight (5 biological, 2 step & 1 adopted) came from all the corners of the United State to say good bye.
Grumpy was not one to go quietly into the Good Night!!!! Thank God, my older drove in from Atlanta. My was able to calm Grumpy with combat trauma training that he learned in the military. Grumpy passed away at 3:13 in the morning on May 15, 2013.
A few hours later, as the funeral director was wheeling him out, I checked my phone messages. I hear this annoying nasal New Jersey accented voice state "You HAVE several unexcused absences because we lost the pappa work." "Shut up Mom" my advised me. "This is the uncaring corporate mindset!" We drove to the Hospice Office to pick up the paperwork and hand carried it to the WallyWorld Personnel.
My boys are the step branch of his family. We had a simply picnic in the forest to honor him. I sent his cremated remains to Kansas. His biological drove him to Colorado by MOTERCYCLE!!! She met with other family members and they caravanned to California for a Family Reunion. They went to Santa Barbara and into the ocean he went. MY GRUMPY LIES OVER THE OCEAN!!!!!

I purchased a new laptop and none of my passwords were saved thus I had a heck of a time getting back on to the Senior FriendFinder Site. Quite a few of the members have switched over FB and after reading some of these blogs, I totally understand why. People are really getting ugly with each other over political differences.
I can't fix the world but I wish that instead of building that wall - we can build a giant mirror as a reflection of what we have become. A paying customer being dragged off an airplane on United is a perfect example. A capitalist system where people are not valued. The answer - BOYCOTT!!!
It worked in Atlanta, Birmingham and Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Black people were paying for the privileged of being good n*ggers and sitting in the back of the bus because the superior white folks get the front. Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a White man. Why should they give money to a company that treats them like they are subhuman. They organized a boycott. They also boycotted all the other businesses with the Jim Crow Mindset. This snowballed and folks started boycotting businesses in Greenbrier County, West Virginia among other places.
Politically, I am in the middle leaning to the left. I have a good friend who is in the middle leaning to the right. We can still be friends and NOT call each other ugly names. We both want the same thing. We just have different opinions on how they should be accomplished.

Alabama Governor resigns. It's Obama's Fault!!!

You gotta Love these Political Scandals.
The GOP Governor has resigned. according to the GOP Regime - It's the Democrat's fault because they discovered what one hand was doing while investigation the other hand. Poor Governor, he thought he was a STAR and they would let him do anything. grabbing unmentionables with one hand and pocketing $$$$$ with the other Hand
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Gov. Robert Bentley resigned Monday rather than face impeachment and pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor campaign violations that arose during an investigation of his alleged affair with a top aide.
In a remarkable fall, the mild-mannered 74-year-old Republican and one-time Baptist deacon stepped down as the sex-tinged scandal gathered force over the past few days. Legislators turned up the pressure by opening impeachment hearings Monday. Last week, the Alabama Ethics Commission cited evidence that Bentley broke state ethics and campaign laws and referred the matter to prosecutors.
Bentley's successor is Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey, who becomes Alabama's second female governor. The first was Lurleen Wallace, wife of segregationist and four-term Gov. George C. Wallace. She ran as a surrogate for her still-powerful husband in 1966 when he couldn't seek re-election because of term limits. She won, but died in office in 1968.

William Penn, The Dali Lama in Birmingham, Alabama

The Dali Lama advises to visit a place once a year that you've never been. I never thought that the year 2017 would mean Birmingham, Alabama but our Southern Appalachian Yearly Meeting & Association of the Religious Society of Friends (SAYMA) lead me in that direction.
The only thing I knew about Birmingham, Alabama is what I saw on television in the 60's and the events that led to the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the beginning of the end of racial segregation in the South.
Black residents held sit-ins at whites-only lunch counters to challenge Jim Crow laws. Black folks took to the streets to protest racial discrimination and attacked with fire hoses and police dogs. Sept. 15, 1963, a bomb planted by a Ku Klux Klansman in the 16th Street Baptist Church exploded, killing four young black girls.
Birmingham, Alabama had much more charm than I had visualized. I would have love to spend more time exploring the city but alas that was not the agenda.
We met at the Quaker Meeting House in Birmingham. It was great to be in a actually meeting house with far more diversity than what is in my home West Virginia Quaker Worship group. We have less than a dozen and only a handful of "official Quakers" but we are all very active. We meet at the Library. Activism was my initial attraction to the Quakers.
We did visit an Ethiopian Restaurant and decided to utilize that in our next pot luck. There are other ways to celebrate diversity.

Political Differences - A Tale of Three Sons!!!

My older voted for Clinton. My younger was a Trump supporter. My step- couldn't abide either thus his vote went to the Libertarian pot head.
I consider myself in the middle leaning to the left. Regardless of political differences, most folks want the same things. job security, health insurance, housing, safety, ad infinitum. There are difference of opinions on how that should be achieved.
Years ago when my younger was a little guy, I picked him up from school and took him to the voting polls with me. Afterwards, I told him that I voted for Clinton. My was very indignant "You voted for Clinton! That's not very nice! My teacher voted for Bush!" Apparently they had a mock election at the school and the Shrub won.
A few months later, we went to the pet store and he bought a pet rat. We were at home and he was pondering what to name the rat. "I can't name him Bill Clinton because I also Billy." "What about Hillary" I suggested. "I am NOT naming that rat Killary! he said. "Maybe I will name the rat Ronald Reagan!" Billy surmised. "If you name that rat Ronald Reagan. That Rat is sleeping outside!" my hubby piped in. He finally settled on the name Chelsea.
So last year, my and I were both working at the fair. We met for dinner and I told him, if you vote for Trump, I will kick your butt. "Well Mom! I already voted for Trump TWICE!!! I am NOT voting for that Feminazi Killery!"
I didn't kick his butt - I love him unconditionally - although he did go into shock when I did his taxes and he found out how much not having health insurance cost him.

Well, Darlin - It looks like your Great Grandfather was a Prisoner of War during the War of t he Northern Aggression as some of the local folks call it 
It BETTER be on the Confederate side, he tells me!
I could have told him that his great granddaddy was a Yankee but wouldn't have been true.
