2017 Blog
Congratulations to the person who
sent me a comment about my blog dated January 2nd 2017. However, I was hoping to see such comments
within the blog itself. Nevertheless, I
will address it here. Herewith is the
comment; “Not sure what you refer to here has to do with the 2014 tax return and
the indication that only 3 % of the donations went to actual charity grants.” My answer was simple, but I can see that some
do not know the law regarding “charitable organizations.
All such organizations [by law]
must give away at least 10 percent of all revenue in any given year, which was
my point of that particular submission. Some
people make a living by organizing a “charitable organization”, for the sole
purpose of only donating 10 percent of the proceeds and retaining the remainder
as an income. You can see examples of
this in many places such as convenience stores and fast food restaurants.
This past presidential election
was by far the most exciting in all American history. In addition, so are all the picks for cabinet
positions… all non-political in most cases; only “political” when the need
calls for such a position. Therefore, I
made it a point to view the confirmation hearings as much as possible.
I truly appreciate the vetting
process that goes into this very important aspect of the legislative part of
our government. For the most part
despite party differences and in some cases within party lines, they have been
respectful most of the time. However, I
have seen just one time when Ted Cruz was very critical of Al Franken and the
assertions that were made, for which Senator Cruz cleared the air, but then it
was not Al Franken who wrote the question, it was from an attorney.
In regards to Rex Tillerson,
there were many questions put to him that were geo-political in nature and
rightly expected for the very sensitive position that calls for such astuteness. Rex is not as well-informed as those in the
Foreign Relations Committee and it showed, but Rex was not going to hide his
ignorance and was not shy about stating that he needs more information, for
which he has yet to be vetted for security clearance, in order to be so
informed.

I recognize those of opposing views, but be warned; any statements made must be backed up with facts and not from social/political venues. It is an absolute fact that the social/political climate is specifically designed to place riffs where none ever existed before; such as Feminism, Homosexuality and Racism, which were all promulgated by the "Powers That Be" to uphold their creed of "order out of chaos", which will eventually end this civilization. Slavery is repugnant to any civilization even if it is benevolent.
