Rough . . .

. . . mix of another tune from "Gazebo" by OHO (upcoming). . .

I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My ha - ands

Bar rooms sure have a funny way
Of bringing loyalty out in a man
Buy a drink and tell a joke
And buddy you've got you a friend
But keep a good eye upon that friend
Because he really doesn't give two hoots
And don't say anything about his Mom
His girlfriend or his army boots

I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My ha - ands

Walked into an auto-mo-showroom
I need some wheels but got no money to spend
When a guy with an ugly tie
Walks out and acts like he's my long-lost friend
I said hey Buddy I've a purpose here
And if you please I will accomplish my goal
So don't you slap me on the back again
Cause if you do I might just lose my control

I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My ha - ands

So please be careful when you meet someone
Who'll make a promise at the drop of a hat
And don't provide them with encouragement
You will regret the day you offered him that
Cause everybody needs some empathy
But just how willing
And how far will they go
To really help you when the chips are down
Can they be trusted half as far as you throw them

I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My ha - ands

Blood Brother

Deals . . .

(from The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government)
". . . the two men (Dulles and Richard Nixon) first came in contact in late 1945, when young naval officer Richard Nixon was shuttling up and down the East Coast wrapping up war-related business for the Navy. While sifting through the military paperwork, Nixon came across eye-opening Nazi documents that had been shipped to an old torpedo factory on the Virginia side of the Potomac. Some of these documents revealed how the Dulles brothers had helped launder Nazi funds during the war. Loftus, citing confidential intelligence sources, alleged that Dulles and Nixon proceeded to cut a deal. "Allen Dulles," reported Loftus (John, former Justice Dept. Nazi hunter), "told him to keep quiet about what he ad seen and, in return, [Dulles] arranged to finance the young man's first congressional campaign against Jerry Voorhis.". . ."

Interests . . .

(from James Madison: A Biography by Ralph Ketcham)
". . . Madison hoped further that the interests of the slaves might receive a little protection, sometimes by eastern members anxious to protect them as property, and sometimes by western members sympathizing with them against the oppressive designs of their masters. Madison concluded with a pleas for "the spirit of compromise" that found him, consciously and almost word for word, re-enacting the role played by the aged Franklin at the close of the 1787 Federal Convention. He asked his fellow delegates not to despair, "notwithstanding all the threatening appearances we have passed through," but instead to "agree on some common ground, all sides realizing in their opinions, not changing, but mutually surrendering a part of them.". . .

Infinity . . .

(from James Madison: A Biography by Ralph Ketcham)
". . . The finiteness of the human understanding betrays itself on all subjects, but more especially when it contemplates such as involve infinity. . . . The infinity of time and space forces itself on our conception, a limitation of either being inconceivable; that the mind prefers at once the idea of a self-existing cause to that of an infinite series of cause and effect, which augments, instead of avoiding the difficulty; and that it finds more facility in assenting to the self-existence of an invisible cause possessing infinite power, wisdom and goodness, than to the self-existence of the universe, visibly destitute of those attributes, and which may be the effect of them. In this comparative facility of conception and belief, all philosophical Reasoning on the subject must perhaps terminate. . ."

High . . .

. . . time . . .

. . . somebody in the government put an end to the current farce that has been staged for the benefit of ill-equipped citizens who are sick and tired of what goes on behind closed D.C. doors. I, quite frankly, am both insulted and embarrassed that the chief executive of my country is not only unable to speak two consecutive coherent sentences, but either cannot, or refuses to read (and therefore, learn) anything, and I, as an American, can only sit back and watch. . . and cheez, is there a LOT to watch. . .

(http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/ and https://www.google.com/#q=trump+psychological+analysis)
". . . President Donald Trump claimed that former U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has definitively said the Trump campaign did not collude in Moscow’s interference with the 2016 election. . . Clapper’s comments have not been as definitive as Trump said. Later that day, Clapper directly contradicted Trump’s claim in a TV interview. . . "This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story," Trump said May 11. "It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won." . . . In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, then-FBI Director James Comey confirmed that his agency was investigating Russian efforts to interfere with the election. . .John D. Gartner said Trump “is dangerously mentally ill and temperamentally incapable of being president.”. . . He believes Trump shows signs of “malignant narcissism,” which is defined as a mix of narcissism, antisocial personality disorder, aggression and sadism in Campbells’ Psychiatric Dictionary. . . In December, three leading professors of psychiatry wrote to Barack Obama expressing their grave concerns over Trump's mental stability . . . Through numerous interviews and his infamous tweeting sprees, it seems Trump only believes facts that praise him - anything else is ‘fake news’ in his eyes. And according to psychologists, this pathological disconnection from reality is dangerous. . ."

Intelligence . . .

(https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/15/us/politics/trump-russia-classified-information-isis.html?_r=0)
". . . President Trump boasted about highly classified intelligence in a meeting with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador last week, providing details that could expose the source of the information and the manner in which it was collected, a current and a former American government official said Monday. . . Mr. Trump’s disclosure does not appear to have been illegal — the president has the power to declassify almost anything. But sharing the information without the express permission of the ally who provided it was a major breach of espionage etiquette, and could jeopardize a crucial intelligence-sharing relationship. . ."

(http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/15/trump-reportedly-revealed-classified-info-about-isis-to-russians.html)
"I was in the room," McMaster concluded. "It didn't happen."

Which is true?

The latter, incidentally, from the Administration of a "President" (and I use the term loosely) who gave us:
1. On 9/11, he personally saw thousands of Muslims in Jersey City cheering.
2. There are actually 93 million people not working and the real unemployment rate is about 40 percent.
3. The Obama administration is sending Syrian refugees to red states.
4. Climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese.
5. He opposed the Iraq War and has dozens of news clippings to prove it.
6. Among white homicide victims, 81 percent are killed by blacks.
7. America has the highest tax rate in the world.
8. CNN lied when it reported that a speech he gave in South Carolina was one-third empty.
9. His criticism of Ford prompted the company to move a factory from Mexico to Ohio.
10. Vaccines cause autism.
11. The Obama administration wants to admit 250,000 Syrian refugees.
12. ISIS built a luxury hotel in the Middle East.
13. He was on 60 Minutes with Vladimir Putin and "got to know him very well."
14. He was never interested in opening a casino in Florida.
15. November 17: The United States only started bombing ISIS oil fields "two days ago."
16. His campaign is 100 percent self-funded.
17. Mexico doesn't have birthright citizenship.
18. The Iran deal forces us to "fight with Iran against Israel" if Israel attacks Iran.
19. We still "really don't know" if Barack Obama was born in the United States.
20. More than 300,000 veterans have died waiting for VA care.
21. The Bush White House begged him to tone down his "vocal" opposition to the Iraq War.
