The Hate Boat

Americans are learning that a rotten apple can ruin the bunch. A bad individual among many good ones, and especially one will spoils the group.

This expression is a shortening of the proverb a rotten apple spoils the barrel, coming from a 14th-century Latin proverb translated as "The rotten apple injures its neighbors." The allusion in this idiom is to the spread of mold or other diseases from one apple to the rest. In English, the first recorded use was in Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack back in 1736.

And it still applies today in politics as in one person whose own words and actions negatively impact an entire group of people, a nation and everywhere, including the high seas. This was no love boat, but a hated cruise from hell.

Never Again

Submitted by ub on

As a nonprofit and academic administrator, I wonder if a nationwide academic movement finally shakes Congress out of its stupor? The USA appears incapable of solving a scourge that exists nowhere else on earth.

While The NRA stuffs millions into the pockets of our elected officials, why does America stan idle while many are slaughtered by criminals using assault weapons? How many more lives will be lost, leaving loved ones devastated and too many broken dreams before our so-called leadership put a stop to the madness?

Elected vs Selected

An unqualified individual can be elected without the popular vote. We have seen this time and again in our democracy. When someone is selected, it usually signifies they're the very best person available for the job.

Donald John Trump was born June 14, 1946, and 70 years later won the election while losing the popular vote. However, he currently is the 45th and current President of the United States. #POTUS has been in office since January 20, 2017. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and became famous by an NBC TV Show.

@POTUS delivers prepared remarks on the tragedy in Parkland, Florida. The High School Shooting caused the deaths of too many, another 17. Was it a monologue on what happened when we already know what's going on. How many times did he mention guns in his response? 17: The number of kids murdered in a school shooting yesterday

What do you think is the problem? Will you opine? And what if anything is #Trump going to really do about it?

With more than a dozen injured inside a Florida school shooting, the suspect is in custody is a former student and identified as Nicolas Cruz, according to the sheriff's office.

Security Clearance

Why does our national security appear to be in danger? How come are our nation's secrets are being shared with people who have not been vetted and issued a permanent security clearance? It is a national disgrace.

A security clearance is a status granted to individuals allowing them access to classified information, whether it be state or organizational secrets or to restricted areas, after completion of a thorough FBI background check.
