You’ve thought a lot more about walls than Trump has. Just produce something, and you will enjoy the fruits of your efforts. But if you’re a failure, your Daddy figure Trump isn’t coming to save you.

“You’ve thought a lot more about walls than Trump has. Just produce something, and you will enjoy the fruits of your efforts. But if you’re a failure, your Daddy figure Trump isn’t coming to save you.”

My family and I have produced a lot and we still do. Enjoy the fruits of our efforts? Not anymore. We can’t enjoy our income because the government takes a third of the money we labor to earn to succor and support deadbeats, foreign invaders, drug addicts and sluggards who wouldn’t pee on their clothes if they were on fire.

We can’t enjoy our American Heritage because most of it “offends” and “frightens” those who don’t have any.

We can’t attend political rallies of our chosen political candidates because Communists have decided our candidate doesn’t fit their agenda.

We can’t enjoy going just about anywhere anymore for fear of getting into the middle of a “protest” by criminals.

We can’t run a business anymore without being told we must serve every deviant, criminal, and foreign entity that our government chooses to force us to serve, our faith and values be damned.

Right now, it’s those kinds of people that are enjoying the “fruits” of American’s efforts. Trump a “Daddy Figure”?
How about a steam roller operator? If he fails, so do we. But the laughable part, sad as it is, is that you do too. There’s only so much your government can steal from others and give you. When the host dies, so does the parasite.

PP, you have hit the nail right on its hardened, little, iron head! This is exactly what 'common man' feels is happening at this time. To put it on page with print and pic is only an explanation of why we feel this way. WE did build this. If not We in 'reality sense", We in the 'ancestor history" sense. Any other creature attempting to come in to take it from us is to be viewed as an adversary - a predator. It is felt TRiUMPh

has lived his whole life with these same feelings in place. He is now giving 'common man' a choice as to what path we wish to follow and only because of him do we have an opportunity to make that choice. The tale of The Lady or The Tiger is jumping from the pages of F. Stockton's tale into the reality of our life, lives, and survival. Applause for a task well done. In the end, the choice is ours - no matter WHAT, the choice should ALWAYS BE OURS. WE are responsible for this and only we as a nation can make the choice to take action. Thanks for the ping. You do exceptionally fine 'work' even if you think it might only be an avocation.

Thanks for the kind comments from you, VK, and others here.  I'm encouraged to contribute some more.

Trump is such an extraordinary person: he has the smarts, but also the great courage to jump into the fight and take on this awesome responsibility of returning America to greatness.

Amid the constant personal attacks by the media, GOPe, donors, and Democrats, he stands like a solid, unmovable rock.

What's remarkable is that he speaks with -- not to -- We the American people.  He's really one of us, and you feel it in his rallies, his radio messages, tweets, and instagrams.  No filter.  No convoluted logic.   Just plain English, easily understood.

So if vanities like this can get a few Trump's tiger cubs to chuckle and nod their heads, it's achieved its purpose.

Once you find something you love to do, never, never give it up! If you do throw it into the wind other than the fact that you’ve grown tired of it and it’s no longer enjoyed..then feel free to toss it. Otherwise, when it’s gone a piece of your soul will be gone as well. You will find yourself empty, incomplete. Just a few words of advise. :-))Only those who reach will ever achieve their dreams.

Make it a great weekend PP!

A favorite passage by Emerson speaks to your point:

    Heed thy private dream: you will not be missed in the scorning and skepticism.

    Stay there in thy closet, and toil, until the rest are agreed what to do about it. Your sickness, they say, and your puny habit, require that thou do this or avoid that, but know that thy life is a flitting state, a tent for a night, and do thou, sick or well, finish that stint.

    Thou art sick, but shalt not be worse, and the universe, which holds thee dear, shall be the better.

    We must be very suspicious of the deceptions of the element of time. It takes a good deal of time to eat or to sleep, or to earn a hundred dollars, and a very little time to entertain a hope and an insight which becomes the light of our life.

    We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him.

    Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart! -- it seems to say, -- there is victory yet for all justice; and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power.

This sounds very much like the Moody Blues speaking on their album with the tune ‘Stairway to Heaven’ IIRC :-))

May your life be the success you wish it to be..no matter what path you may take. Goals are there for you to grasp and conquer. Then you say: ‘I did THAT. I made THAT!.” knowing that you have achieved something you had never dreamed of doing”

The old movie with Mickey Rooney who starred in a film about the life of Thomas Edison is such a movie about achievement. The film is one to make a lasting impression on a young mind.
Carry on, ‘with a smile in your heart’.

For some reason, your post reminded me of ALOHA RONNIE. I hadn’t seen him in a while and was pleased to see he has posted as recently as March 14. He’s a great American. Thank you both for your service.
