The Rebirth of America/ Only Love Will Keep Us Together

1 Politics is not about doing the right thing. It is a instrument of strategy to attain legislative, executive, and judiciary power using government as another tool, wherein the winners achieve these different outlets of power, along with prominent employment, and a platform to further maintain such combinations of power. The complete effect is the establishment of particular visions. 2020 is a presidential election year on the heels of a vicious political campaign mounted by a ā€˜political leftā€™ conglomeration of printed news, internet & social media companies, large swaths of the entertainment industry, university-level academic institutions and the current Democrat Party against what appears to be an attempt to remove President Donald Trump from the executive office of the presidency.  He is on the political right and has sided with a conservative, America-centric perspective that is anathema (completely the opposite) to the work of the last three presidents, spanning 24...

America the Fake-Democracy / #understanding #servantleaders #USA

How does democracy die? Do we have democracy now? I understand that education leads to empowerment and the lack thereof maintains a dual purpose, wherein one people is in darkness and the other controls the gate.

Over 3,000 hits. Golden glove winner. World Series champion. World Series Most Valuable Player. All-Star, All-American, child of God. He was incredibly concerned with taking care of those less fortunate. He didn't have to. He was already a good man. With his loving wife, Vera Cristina Zabala, Roberto Enrique would fly their and back again and again on small airplanes to such lands as Nicaragua in Central America to clothes the poor and bring hope. A friend of my father and a fellow U.S. Marine, Roberto Enrique Clemente was top-of-the-line major league baseball player. He played eighteen years as a Pirate for Pittsburgh, wearing his stripes for all to see. A humble man who put his brothers and sisters first, even when these brothers and sisters were from faraway lands and could never, ever repay him. He was about doing the business of his Father. A little light, a real star which no second death could extinguish, just like all the children of God. Roberto Enrique Clemente ...
