A Pioneer's hopes

Talks of the next Presidential election 2028 on the GOP side is looking at J. D. Vance and Marco Rubio as top candidates, which to me they'd be the best so far. But whoever,the 2026 midterms is more important right now. Because those on the Democratic side have communist sympathizers running which doesn't help in the cause of democracy and freedom.  Vice-President Vance has been a great right hand for President Trump and I'm convinced he's seeing and learning in that Washington jungle. Marco Rubio has been around longer and gets an edge over Vance. But wherever Rubio serves he gives 100%. If he decided and accepted the V. P. role he'd be good at it. And Vance like Trump would keep Rubio busy. Making that office more relevant then just the 2nd man behind the president.  John Adams used to call that office the most insignificant office ever created by man. That was funny to me. But he may have been right. It's why administrations need to make that offi...

On 7/12/26 learned of his passing  at age 71. His last speech was working on a resolve to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He sounded ok. But an illness came upon him suddenly and next thing we know Sen. Lindsey Graham was gone. It was that quick he was taken from us. To be as a politician Sen. Graham was hot and cold. Sometimes he was there when you needed him and other times he wasn't. He'd either anger you or you would praise him. Now we've been talking term limits but his longevity I didn't mind because he unlike the others was serving country more than party. Although he was a party guy. But now I think with his passing we should we let him belong to the ages and let history decide where he was as a public servant.  For me I criticized and praised him and I think as a good public servant you're going to get both in the times you served. My hope is he'll be remembered well as a good man and everything else is just a document of a career, b...

  PAGA- Pray America Great Again. The great essential task of believers in Jesus Christ is to pray 🙏. It's not to get into useless arguments with those who can't or refuse to hear. We spread the message with hope not judgement. We warn but we cannot tell them what to do. And the great example of Christ is the daily living-love one another,feed the poor,help the helpless. Serve as the Son of Man served. For America to be great it starts with faith,it starts with prayer. Then GOD BLESS AMERICA! It's not just building bridges or roads. It's rebuilding lives and souls. Freedom not only comes thru sacrifice,it comes thru daily service. For without faith the work if the builders is useless. Pray not just to make America great but make it great service for another and for Christ. Shining our lights before men makes the city upon a hill.Children of God as we are more than just a nation. With God's Spirit we can move mountains and bear fruit. For Christ as our vine can Amer...

  I started reading newspapers after I discovered John F. Kennedy in High School. At that time I learned as he did that newspapers were information. And although he read more and enjoyed it less sometimes it was because what they written of his administration but I've become less enjoyment of them because of some columnists and they're hate especially of current administration. While I don't expect every President and his administration to be approved by every American. But what I expect is fair judgement of their critic as well as praise. And to be fair from me to them as well in my judgement. But the media is biased today. Some say they are fake news and enemies of the people. They can be both but in my judgement I can't go farther than bias. We still need them. But we need them for the truth not their hate,not their political attacks. We need journalists that looks out for the people and the country. Not a political party. Newspapers are to me better than the interne...

  "Fondly do we hope-fervently do we pray-that this mighty scourage of war may speedily pass away.Yet,if God wills that it continue...until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn of the sword...so still it must be said,,"The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." "With malice towards none with charity for all,with firmness in the right,as God gives us to see the right,let us strive on to finish the work we are in,to bind up the nations wounds,to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphans-to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."                                                                 President Abraham Lincoln-2nd inauguration-March         ...

  "If we fail to dare,if we do not try,the next generation will harvest the fruit of our indifference;a world we did not want,a world we did not choose,but a world we could have made better by caring more for the results of our labors.And we shall be left only with the hollow apology of T.S.Eliot,"That is not what I meant at all.That is not it at all."" -Robert F.Kennedy. It seemed to me at the end of the 60s we quit daring as much as we did in the early 60s.And since then the world's changed and not for the good.It is why even though so many oppose him but President Trump in my opinion is trying to get us to dare again.Not by daring more to hate which some are doing,but dare to get past our differences and while I say he's trying he's also at times can be his own worst enemy.Because words matter and how we use them matters. By making America great to me is by first getting America to be good again.We can harvest more with good fruit than bad fruit.We ca...
