Man's ability to create amazing things baffle my mind. I have seen so many wonders in the world and it's absolutely remarkable to be at awe with these amazing creations. Among other things are the luxury liners that take people to many destinations in the world. While I have been to many cruises in the past, the MSC Divina which is an Italian ship offers many new amenities that just can't be left unappreciated. If you're amazed by the treatment of hotel intercontinental services, the beyond excellent tradition of the Italian hospitality is worth writing about which embodies and absolute luxury and pleasure in terms of food, accommodations and services.

Not to brag, just to share my recent experience. As a member of the elite and rare black club, (highest designation) my friend of 33 years and I we're the first to board the ship which took more than 6 hours to settle 3,560 guests.

Anyways this blog is to express my jubilant mood about the results of super Tuesday.

Trump, my candidate is rising higher than expected.

One critique from CNN mentioned that this represents the people's anger and frustrations again from the incompetence of the current administration. I can't be happier.

Anyways I am having fun traveling the world but my passion for the future of my country is unabated so here I am celebrating and just want to greet the blog world from the Bahamas.



Congratulations fellow Trump supporters

While listening to Eckhart Tolle and him talking about being present in your life....

this thought occurred to me...

Last night, while watching Fox News, Hillary Clinton mis-spoke while she was "ramping-up" her tone of her voice and said, "and we will tax the middle-class."

From the sounds of it, the majority of the crowd was clapping and loving that statement.

Hmmmm...


I wonder, is that an example of people not being in the present moment?

or...

Do they really like the idea of raising taxes on the middle class?




Now....I have to ask myself. Was I being present while listening to Mr. Tolle?

The Ideals Of a Common Market, where we can have free and unrestricted movement of people, trade, goods, services and finance was, is and always will be an Ideal we should work towards achieving, Not just in Europe but globally.

When Britain first Joined the EEC, (European Economic Community), That is all it was , A common market. But it changed into something else. The EU, (European Union)
And so started the move from some of the major country's in the EU to to merge Europe in to a single Fedralised European state by pushing forward policies for a single currency, a European Central Bank, formation of a Europeian army and ever closer political union, Hoping that this would end up with the European Parliament as it's legislative house, the European court as the Judaical house, the council of ministers as it's Executive.
In fact if not in name The United States of Europe

This is not what we signed up for.
I don't think that, being a state in a Federalised single European State, or even, having a Federalised single European State, is a good idea at all.

Now don't get me wrong here, when it comes to politics I am on the Left. I'm a good old fashioned British,("From each according to his ability, to each according to his need", nothing wrong with being filthy rich, but it means you have a greater social responsibility to take care of those who can't take care of themselves), Socialist. who believes in democracy, (Not a Marxist,Trotskist,Stalinist, Commie at all).
I am not some foaming at the mouth small brained right wing racist bigot

This is why on the 23 of June I voted to leave the EU.
If it had been just an issue of being a member of a common market I would've voted to remain, But it wasn't so I didn't

I know that leaving the EU will have some short term repercussions. But this will normalise after a few years.

To carry on trading with EU and still have access to the single market we will have to sign up to a similar trade agreement as Norway has with the EU now.
That will mean we will still have to agree to the principles of free movement of people,goods, services and finance across Europe


And now we have to renegotiate out trading terms with the EU
with out all the federalisation plans that go along with being a full member.

In the short term this will be a bit like a messy divorce, with bitter recriminations being thrown around from all sides as we argue over who gets to keep the dog.
Both France and Germany will try and make the terms of our leaving and our new trade agreement with the EU as tough as they possibly can, partly to punish us for leaving, and partly in the hope that this will put off any of the any other country in the EU from thinking about doing what Britain just did.

But it is my belief that in the long term we will be better off being close friends with Europe rather than being married to it
It may take a while for our new relationship with Europe to normalise, But it will eventually.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING


I was privileged to participate in the current conference of the Human Rights held in the main office in New York today and tomorrow and I am particularly involved in this segment. Our most challenging task in curving if not completely stopping the sales of human flesh. Virtual participation is possible.

This is going to be the center of the discussion tomorrow. Anyone who wants to participate, just log into HUMAN RIGHTS/2014 conference. There are so many concerns that are provocatively straining our society today but this is where my heart is.

Below is the topic that will be held in the morning tomorrow. Copied from the context of the discussion.

Can We Bankrupt the Business of Human Trafficking?

"Modern day slavery is a human rights scourge that affects an estimated 21 million people. It's also a hugely profitable—and growing—global business, bringing in $150 billion a year for the exploiters. Business is booming largely because exploiters operate with relative impunity. Many companies have started to focus on ridding their supply chains of slave labor. But there's another supply chain that's relevant here: the many actors that recruit, transport, and house the victims along the way to final sale or exploitation, as well as those who move the money associated with this criminal enterprise. The private sector could play a game-changing role in disrupting this network by making slavery more risky and less profitable. This panel will feature case studies of private sector initiatives—including public-private partnerships—designed to bankrupt the business of trafficking."

Thank you so much for all your reads and participation.

My personal view: If there is a buyer, there will always be a seller. Or vice versa. Question is, can we truly stop it? Or we're just dreaming.

I was talking with a friend of mine tonight. During the conversation, he brought something to my attention. I have never heard about this before so I had to check for myself on youtube. To my surprise, there were loads of videos with some pretty darn compelling evidence. Even Joan Rivers was recorded as stating it. Are you ready for this? Is Michelle Obama really a man?

Me personally, I laughed my butt off in disbelief when he first told me that. I thought he lost a few cards from his deck. But, after checking things out....well....let's just say some people put together some interesting things.

Time for me to hopefully get some sleep.

This is getting to be a chaotic world we live in.

Tragedy after tragedy.

Shall it end? Or will it get worse?

Any opinions?

Chelsea Manning has been freed,
Shame she was ever locked up in the first place.

That's All !!!

Feel free to paint my blog with opinions or random chit chat

It’s another fake news moment by the Establishment Media. They know it. You know it. Certainly, the Trump White House knows it. Remember all of those polls in 2016 declaring Hillary Clinton the winner? They were repeatedly slanted, skewed, a sham of an attempt to convince Trump supporters to stay home and assure Clinton voters of certain victory.

Since Donald Trump’s stunning Election Day victory, this same Establishment Media continues to try and convince Americans he’s a far less popular president than he actually is, once again setting themselves up for some major eating crow moments in the coming weeks.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative coverage of his administration, President Donald Trump’s approval rating is as high or higher than half of the previous six presidents at this point in their first terms. You won’t believe who scored better.

Trump has been enjoying a rare string of good news. The economy is humming and the jobless rate just hit a 49-year low. Trump won an intense battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. He secured a replacement for Nafta. His poll numbers are edging up. And Republican prospects in the midterm elections appear to have improved.

But according to the Gallup Poll, Trump’s approval rating as of his 632nd day in office was 44%.

Is that good or bad? That depends on the context. Trump has never polled well. Gallup had his approval rating at 45% the day he took office.

The mainstream press focused intensely on Trump’s initial rating, which was well below those of any president since Gallup first started tracking this in 1945.

Even Gerald Ford’s approval rating 90 weeks into his accidental presidency was 71%.

But the press lost interest in such comparisons as time went by.

Perhaps one reason is that, by this point in their first terms, approval ratings for most presidents had declined. Sometimes sharply.

As a matter of fact, Trump’s approval rating is now higher than, or tied with, three of the past six presidents at this point in their first terms.
