Whats Really Going On?
Hello all! Let me get straight to the point. First off, has anyone seen the gas prices? Has anyone felt the gas prices in there pockets? How does this government not realize that the cost of living increases without income increases is basically useless, if not absolutely ridiculous. How convenient the government raised the price of gas conveniently at the same time the tax rebate checks were sent out! We all know these big wigs have interest for monetary gain with regard to gas or oil. This economic stimulus plan is part of a 168 billion stimulus package. The object is not to save it. They want you to spend it. They say don't spend it all in one place. But we all know where most of it is going, gas. With these big wigs capitalizing on the high gas costs, how much of that 168 billion are they trying to recoup? Makes you think. They say the price of oil per barrel is at an all time high. Somewhere between $100.00 - $120.00 a barrel. When was the last time any of us bought a barrel of gas? Thats the price the government is paying. Its the government that makes us feel it at the pump. Thats also another reason why the gas/oil industry is not regulated in this country. Who do they think they are really fooling? What happens when the tax rebate checks are all spent, and the gas price increases a quarter. Then the government is going to say we shouldn't have spent it, we should have saved it. How subliminal is that! The price of milk increases. Why? If they didn't create that panic with mad cow disease and that e-coli. scare, we would have had enough cows to milk to keep the cost down. But no, they got rid of these cows and created there own shortage, and we have to pay. I can go deeper, but for now that should do. Remember, Truth, Justice, & Freedom, some of the few things we still have control of.

Never Say Never!!!!
Hello everyone, yes its been a while, but good things come to those who wait. I remember when I first started to deal with relevant issues at my previous employer. I was told that no one would listen, no one would get involved, in fact I was told that I would eventually lose my job.... etc but, I kept on pushing the issue until someone listened. Many thought I was full of hot air, young and wet behind the ears. They even told me there was nothing I could do. Now I got there full attention. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. I have both the ounce and pound of whatever you seem fit. I gave up a lot, to get to where I am, and still there is a lot more ahead to deal with. The good Lord has done such a wonderful job taking care of me and my family. I come from a very blessed family. Without them I would not have been able to pursue these issues vigorously. Patiently I wait. The final outcome is near. I'm not one of those persons who tells others I told you so. But, sometimes you have to. Sometimes you have to look them in the eye and let them know you are serious. I always felt that when smart people talk no one is really listening, but let a foolish or dumb person sound smart , everyone is listening. Why is that? It says in the the Bible that truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue last only a moment. Bring that lying tongue to court, it will be over before it started. Dont take my advise for it, you will see for yourself. That was a personal message to those who know who they are. Nothing personal. You were given the opportunity to do the right thing. You were told of these issues, but still you felt that you got away with breaking the law for so long, you honestly thought you would never get caught. But, time is up! Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,so help you God. Remember, Truth, Justice, & Freedom some of the few things we still have control of. Talk to you soon.

Listen up!!!!!
First off, I would like to send my condolences to the family of a fallen angel. My prayers are with you and your family. I really dont know where to begin, its been a very busy week. My daughter won her first little league game today. Shout out to the
Brooklyn Angels Lady Mustangs where they beat the Holy Name Black Widows by a score of 8-3. What excitement!!! Life has been great since my resignation. I accomplished so much in such little time. More time with my family, coaching my own little league team,
teaching gym at Bay Ridge Christian Academy, Etc..... cant list them all, but it has been great. It feels so good not having to deal with folks who make soup with toilet water. For 7 years thats what I did. But now I'm in control. Free to do whatever and whenever at any given time. No more pe-13s, time cards, doctors notes, etc.... So many of us settle for $20.00 an hour, health benefits, a pension plan, & union blindness. Sometimes we depend on it because it pays the bills, keeps the roof over our head, food on the table, etc..... sometimes we are so clouded by these things, that we allow ourselves to be taken advantage of. We allow ourselves to get slapped in the face, we allow ourselves to turn a blind eye on wrongdoing, we allow ourselves to only worry about ourself, until we get that transfer letter, pink slip, charges, suspensions, etc...... then we start to remember all that was wrong. Problem is, its
too late... many of you are in a position to have the upper hand and do the right thing, while there is still time, you need to take that opportunity. The old regime is coming to an end. Time to take control over matters and do whats right. Gangadeen for president....Just joking. But seriously, you guys are in control. Together we can overcome. Many are called, few are chosen. Remember, Truth, Justice, & Freedom, some of the few things we still have control of. Speak to you soon.

A Prayer for our Country
Almighty God, you have given us this great land as our heritage. We humbly pray that we may always remember your generosity and faithfully do your will. Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education and an honorable way of life. Defend our liberties and strengthen the resolve of the people who have come from throughout the world to make America their home. Lead us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. Help us to appreciate the opportunities that are ours as we struggle to bring harmony to an unsettled world. May we balance our concern for justice with willingness to display mercy, and may our concern for security be tempered with a willingness to take risks which will produce worthwhile change for the good of all people. O Lord, we pray for your guidance as we work together for the best interest of our communities, our nation, our world, and the ultimate goal of peace. When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful and in troubled times may our deepest trust be in you. Amen.
