A Peek . . .

. . . at those "accomplishments" . . .



(from  http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/29/donald-trump-first-100-days-by-the-numbers-237701?lo=ap_e1)
". . . At his last publicly announced meeting with CEOs on April 11, Trump overstated the number of jobs his administration had created by hundreds of thousands. “We’ve created over 600,000 jobs already in a very short period of time,” he boasted, despite Labor Department data that indicated the figure is closer to 317,000 jobs. . . 1Of the 10 legislative promises Trump made on his 100-day contract, only one -- the failed measure to repeal and replace Obamacare -- has been introduced on Capitol Hill. Some general principles of tax reform were rolled out Wednesday, while aspects of some other campaign promises have been addressed in executive orders. . . Republican leaders pulled a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare from the floor last month, saving members from a difficult vote on legislation that wouldn’t have passed. The conservative House Freedom Caucus, however, endorsed the latest version on Wednesday. . . White House aides told The Associated Press that Trump will have signed 32 executive orders by Friday, the most of any president’s first 100 days since World War II. . . 5 Anti-Trump marches in Washington . . . Likely the biggest was the Women’s March on Washington, with crowds that dwarfed those who came to see Trump’s inauguration a day earlier. Since then, rallies have been organized around Tax Day, in defense of science, and against Trump’s travel ban. Future marches are planned around climate change and immigration. . ."

And Now . . .



(http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/president-trumps-first-100-days/trump-touts-first-100-days-record-slams-press-campaign-style-n752916)
". . . to the cheers of the crowd, Trump turned his attention from his attacks on the media, to numerous achievements he said he has accomplished in the first 100 days since the inauguration. . .
(the) decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, his appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, job creation, a crackdown on immigration and terrorism . . . He implied that he has refrained from labeling China a "currency manipulator" — as he pledged to do so as a candidate — because Chinese President Xi Jinping is helping the United States with North Korea. . . "It's a great thing." . . . (and) that coal mining jobs were returning and that he was reducing federal regulations "clearing up an environment of bureaucracy." He told the crowd Obamacare was dying and would be replaced, the Second Amendment would be protected, and gangs would be removed from the country. . . "



. . . Then, through sources which declined to be identified, he was heard to say, 'And now, I'm tired.  I want my milk and my nap.". . .

Intermingling . . .

. . . fact and FICTION . . . 

(http://www.politicususa.com/2016/09/18/trump-accidentally-admits-lying-opposing-iraq-war.html)
". . . Donald Trump just threw his “proof” out the window by admitting that the Esquire interview came after the war started, which means that one Trump’s key talking points on foreign policy are by the candidate’s own admission a lie. . . Trump tried to wipe away his admission by claiming that it’s all the same thing, but there is a huge difference between opposing the war after it began, which a lot of people did once they realized that they had been lied to, and opposing the war before it started. . . It has gotten to the point where Donald Trump can’t keep his own lies straight. The Republican nominee tries to plaster over the gap between the facts and his fictions, by claiming a false equivalency. . . The facade is crumbling. Trump has another week to go before the first presidential debate, and the cracks are beginning to show. . . A man who so easily intermingles fact and fiction that he doesn’t care if keeps his own lies straight can’t be trusted to occupy the White House. . . "

Irrational . . .


why do I feel guilty for no reason?

feel guilty for something I didn't do?

feel like I did something wrong?

why do I feel guilty when i've done nothing wrong?

why do I fear having done something wrong?

Can . . .


(http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/presidential-campaign/271652-what-does-sanders-mean-by-democratic-socialism)
In 2006, Bernie Sanders defined what he meant by the term democratic socialism: “… I think it means the government has got to play a very important role in making sure that as a right of citizenship, all of our people have health care; that as a right, all of our kids, regardless of income, have quality child care, are able to go to college without going deeply into debt; that it means we do not allow large corporations and moneyed interests to destroy our environment; that we create a government in which it is not dominated by big money interest. I mean, to me, it means democracy, frankly.’’

From . . .

. . . Adrick . . . 
I have had the pleasure, on numerous occasions, to play for residents at our local Ronald McDonald house and I must say, the note (photo above) that one of them presented to me, is one of the most gratifying things I have received, as a musician. The little guy left the dining area with his Mom to create this, returned shortly afterward and presented it to me. Pretty cool huh?



(from http://www.rmhc.org/about-us)
