We need to Amend the Constitution..., the 2nd Amendment in Specific:

Second Amendment:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Why? Times have changed. Back then, NO POLICE DEPARTMENTS, NO STATE POLICE, NO FBI, no communication available,.(we
wrote letters, didn't have phones to call police instantly).
..etc. etec.

Times have changed completely.

....We did it with slavery, the right to vote, (for women and for 18 year olds) etc. ..........Here is the point.............

.....WE CAN DO IT AGAIN TO SAVE LIVES...THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT......................

..............................381 MASS SHOOTINGS THIS YEAR...(SO FAR)....F**K THE GUN LOBBY.
..................................LET'S SAVE LIVES.. INSTEAD..!!!!

............please pass this on to as many as you can..

Why isn't it easy?..It is not easy, never has been. Changing one's life is very, very, difficult.

. If it were easy, most would quickly accomplish the task...

Quitting Booze, Drugs, Smoking, or other such activities..(whatever they are, that you have been doing for a long time)
is not easy. Actually very difficult indeed

Why? It ain't easy to change one's life when you have been doing something for a long time. Books, plays, movies, etc,
have been written about trying to change one's life. We get addicted to some behavior, and we think that stopping it will
be easy. It seems so from reading a few magazines or stories on the internet/newspapers. But those that say it is easy
are lying and trying to sell something.

While waiting to check out at a food store, we may see many magazines with lots of articles about quitting this or that.
Those of us that have been addicted to various substances and behaviors know the truth. Quitting is among the
hardest things we ever do. I stand with everyone who tries and does not succeed the first time. The key is just 4 words.

DON'T EVER GIVE UP........DON'T EVER GIVE UP....DON'T EVER GIVE UP.....DON'T EVER GIVE UP...DON'T EVER GIVE UP..
DON'T EVER GIVE UP........DON'T EVER GIVE UP....DON'T EVER GIVE UP.....DON'T EVER GIVE UP...DON'T EVER GIVE UP.


So, you make a mistake...So what? In kindergarten over 70 years ago, I learned a lesson about mistakes....

They gave us pencils to write and draw with. If we made a mistake, there was a rubber thing on the end.
It was called an eraser. You used it to erase the mistake and write it over again.

45 years later, I got a computer, and I found the exact same idea as the eraser on the computer.
On this thing (I'm using now) in order to deal with a mistake, we use the DELETE KEY

We humans still make mistakes, & we need to correct them.
No one is perfect, not me, not you, no one.
Some of the greatest people in all of human history did not get it the first time....

Did Thomas Edison get it the first time?
Did Winston Churchill get it the first time?
Did Clark Gable become a star after his first movie?

And so on, and on, and on, and on.

DON'T EVER GIVE UP. ...PLEASE, DON'T EVER GIVE UP

Thank You for reading this...Stuart G

Federal Reserve Announced it is raising interest rates 0.75% Yesterday, July 27, 2022

https://www.bankrate.com/banking/federal-reserve/fed-interest-rate-decision-biggest-winners/

The Federal Reserve announced that it’s raising interest rates 0.75 percentage points, following its July 26-27 meeting, bumping the federal funds rate to a target range of 2.25 to 2.50 percent. The move follows an increase of 75 basis points in June, as the Fed rapidly reduces liquidity to the financial markets to help tamp down soaring inflation.

The Fed’s decision comes as inflation rages in the U.S. economy at the highest annual rate in some 40 years, reaching 9.1 percent in June. With the Fed hitting the brakes on an overheated economy, the main question for many market watchers is how fast Fed Chair Jerome Powell will continue to raise rates and whether that spills over into a recession.

“Inflation has set a fresh four-decade high, compelling the Federal Reserve to keep hiking rates in an aggressive fashion,” says Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate chief financial analyst. “This latest rate hike is evidence that the second half of 2022 will see the Fed even more active than they were in the first half of the year.”

It is the "Media" that is the problem: Next Presidential Election: Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Donald Trump is ...NOT THE PROBLEM...IT IS THE MEDIA....
________________________________________________________________________________

Trump is still a ...".MEDIA STAR" ...RIGHT NOW!! TODAY!! Thursday July 28, 2022.

Anything can happen between now and November 2024. The media wants attention ..NOW!

....It wants people looking at it ...NOW..

Why is that true?..........Higher Ratings....mean or equal ----MORE MONEY NOW, (not later)

not in 2024, but more ads, more money next month. That is why Trump is a ..."MEDIA STAR"

(It ain't that complicated..If Trump didn't improve ratings, and sell periodicals and make money for different
parts of the media, then he would be a...."HAS BEEN"...In my opinion it really is that simple.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
