The Mosul Offensive and Trump’s Potent Public Relations Program
Greetings Readers,
I have tried Yahoo, AOL, and Asian connections to acquire the latest status on the Mosul Offensive. Feed-back information and updates are old and stale from October through November. It appears the news is censored. Iraq nor the Pentagon are releasing bulletins. I have wondered if Iraq’s second largest city had fallen? Finally through another search engine I received a statement dated 6 December by Defense Secretary Ash Carter, ‘Mosul can be taken before Trump takes office.’ And ‘in the face of considerable ISIS counter attacks.’
Recall there were supposedly only six thousand dedicated ISIS in the entire Mosul area surrounded by near 100,000 coalition and Iraqi forces. A Pentagon release last week stated during the past two years 50,000 ISIS type fighters have been killed as well as many of their top leaders.
The offensive has been ongoing for more than eight weeks. In October the…

Trump in the Muse.
Greetings Readers,
My last blog post was kind of corny. But I have no doubt in my mind that Trump would want, desire to be an absolute dictator in the United States and over the entire world if he could. To some neoconservatives this may seem healthy. The Trump development of such can however make for a dangerous world more so than it already is.
In the meantime before he leaves office what the hell is that black ‘Muslim bastard’ we currently have in the White House trying to do, make ‘America Great Again’? The unemployment rate has fallen to a low of 4.6 % not seen since 2007. Readers, the darkness will show up, appear in about a year or less and the U. S. will miss Obama’s even-handedness and stability. He performed exceedingly well during a necessary period of historic American entrenchment.
The following may indicate to some…

The U. S. Election was a Sham and Tarnished Democracy
Greetings Readers,
In mails to friends and acquaintances I have often voiced the concept American elections, particularly this presidential one, is a fiascos and a farcical insult to most ordinary rational thinking people. They are often created for ulterior reasons, deceptions, and misdirection not apparent or easily understood by the general voting public. The Clinton, Trump presidential election is a prime example of what I’ve been writing.
By whom I ask did this lengthy drawn-out campaign assist in political decision making? Certainly not the people of America who are targeted as weak-minded obsessive bystanders and kept from understanding the true issues one should support for a healthy government change. The main issues were sidelined. The proper issues in the public interest should have been emphasized more readily were and in my opinion, i. e. the 18 trillion-dollar debt, set to be increase by both candidates, growth of the of the…
