Family

Yesterday was a great day, used TextNow app to text my oldest daughter to make sure that she had received the package that I had shipped to her, it was an expensive package, 2 digital cameras one for her & the other one for the grand daughter. 

She was surprised & frustrated that I was using a number that she never recognized, she asked if I was her father, I said yes that I was. She informed that she was now engaged to her bf who is 54, I gave her my blessing, she asked why I just dropped off the earth, I was brutal in my reply, her response was that she was not going to allow emotional blackmail, I stated I only gave the facts & if she couldn’t handle it was for her to decide if she still wanted me to be part of her life.

I told her that I was signing off and deleting that app, I never saw her reply at all. Damn that process that you have to go thru to delete an app on an apple product is maddening, 1. Make sure that you have screen time is turned off, if not you will never be able to delete any app.

I told her that I fought to stay in her & her sisters life, contrary to everything their mom did to block me from their lives. That battle was 7 years worth, 5 of the years I had to do a court ordered diary for each week, where I also had to provide receipts every 4 hours to prove where I was at each day. My daughters mom dropped them off on my weekend with a big surprise,“oh by the way they have lice” I piled them into my car, drove to target, had them stay in the car, bought 4 boxes of Nix, drove back home had them get into their swimsuits due to them being 5 & 6 at the time. 4 hours later, both girls were lice free, 8 hours later all clothing & bedding were washed & dried. 

They were excited about dancing in the shower rain, they told their mom, & dear old mom called CPS & insinuated that I was doing improper things body wise with my daughters. I was met at the door by the police, & CPS informing me of the charges that had been registered against me in a formal complaint. Thank God my landlord was home at the time, he backed up my side that my daughters were wearing swim suits due to their ages. I was handed a sheet with my court date & the time for court. Even though I had documented proof, plus a signed affidavit stating the facts for my side, the judge informed me that for the time being I had to write a weekly diary with receipts every 4 hours detailing my daily activities because of the complaint my ex had filed with CPS.

it took the courts 5 years to realize that my ex had used & abused the court system to her benefit, again was issued a court summons, went to court with my pro Bono attorney at the time, he spoke for me, because he didnt want me to screw things up because I was angry still after 5 years. The judge gave his final disposition on the initial complaint filed. She reamed my ex for using the courts to her advantage, to limit my seeing my daughters. She asked her if she knew that the daughters had swim suits on at the time 5 years ago, she admitted that she had known, what she didn’t know was the judge had talked with both daughters, they told her they had worn swim suits while I washed their hair with NIX. 

The judge informed her that if she ever used the courts in the fashion she had used the courts, she would be spending 3 years in the county workhouse, & I would be given sole custody. 

in the texts I told my daughter that I was tired of fighting like I had for the 7 years to stay in their lives, her response that she wasn‘t going to deal with shame guilt, I told her that telling the facts that I’m tired of fighting, that i was logging off, & deleting the app, that I would only be in contact with her 2 more times after that, she would never hear from me again.

Both my daughters are blocked in every means possible, I’m not going to try or fight to be in their lives anymore. Yes i will miss them dearly but its better to be balanced mentally than to deal with their emotional upheaval on a weekly basis. I am proud of what both my daughters have achieved in life even after being a dealt a raw hand by their mother & her actions she took in her effort to keep my from their lives. 

My oldest became the youngest administrator for 2 hospitals, & 4 nursing home food & dietary, she achieved that accomplishment at the age of 28. My youngest with everything going on in her life achieved sales director of F3 wireless by the time she was 28. I wish to be in their lives but they have made it a abundantly clear that I’m not wanted, by them accusing me of doing shit that morally I could never do, after seeing what my younger sister went thru with an physically abusive drug user ex boyfriend that tied her up and abused her in every imaginable way possible for 72 hours…

sorry about the long winded rant, but this is my means of staying emotionally & mentally balanced…

Businessmen Who Served America

While the founding fathers wrote the Constitution, they envisioned men like themselves, who were businessmen to temporarily serve America.

From George Washington to Lyndon Johnson , presidents didn’t put their businesses in a blind trust ot sell them to serve as President if elected.

George Washington operated 2 desks in the Oval Office, one for the duties as President & the second one as his business desk. John Adams operated his plantation & other businesses from the same desk that Washington had operated his private sector businesses.

Thomas Jefferson was a plantation owner & operated his land holdings from a 2nd desk in the Oval Office. So from 1789 to 1953 persons who were elected President were not required to give up ownership of their businesses since they were already established.

After 1953 the Democratic Party evolved into an elected political class that never actually work but just fed themselves at the tax payers expense. In 1815 congress voted to change to an annual salary of 1500.00 per year in addition to the per diem. Currently this is the cost to operate congress at tax payers expense. I have broken it down as best as I could based on the limited data

432 house members174,000 x 432 
75,168,000 payHouse speaker 223,500Senate and house leaders193,400 x 5 = 967,000.00Benefits exceeed per congressional person125,00066,875,000 x 435 members
House operating expenses for all 435 membersTotal 410,931,885.00Per member is 944,671.00 for office and employe pay of a staff of 18

Per senate member is 3.5 million for office and personnel expenses 35 million dollars total cost to operate the senate. This doesn’t include the uses of private gyms in the house and senate buildings or the private dining areas.

They are not subject to any no smoking laws, they can make multiple flight reservations, but only have to pay for one, free parking at any airport.
In addition to their yearly salary they also get vacation pay, not listed for each month they are not in DC, the vacation pay is not listed.

Members of congress can receive up to 28,400 in outside pay each year, non taxable of courseFor all 535 members it totals 15,194,000 per year.
To operate congress it takes 589,165,385.00 per year.

This does not include office space in their respective states at tax payer expense. 

Getting back to the men who have been elected President up until Lyndon B Johnson have been businessmen not required to divest or place their businesses in blind trusts. Our founding fathers want people who own and operate businesses to serve America for a few years, then go back to the private sector.

Trump is not violating any laws or regulations or even the emolument clause, since all his businesses were operating before he was elected or sworn in. The emolument clause was in regards to accepting actual gifts that could be implied as graft.

Have any of those elected to congress sold or placed their businesses into blind trusts while they serve. Using nancy pelosi as one example, not on her life, her husband still operates his businesses with input from nancy herself.

Other than the operating Expenses of the White House & the White House staff, plus the secret service agents, Trump has not accepted a pay check for his position as President. Operating White House expenses is roughly 1,375,000 per year.

This does not include the secret service detail 24/7 this is for 2020. Nor does it include the salaries of the White House staff currently at 35.8 million per year compared to Obama’s staff close to 61 million per year.

Trump didn’t sell his businesses, but put up a legal wall between his organization that his adult children operate while he is president. This is not illegal, but something our founding fathers envisioned.
