My First www.howiemaui.com Hero, Mike Iltch, Little Caesar No More.

Today I came across someone on #Facebook that brought tears to my eyes. Lately it’s been very hard ti find something on my blog that does not pertain to #President Donald Trump. Even though Little Caesar’s isn’t one of my favorite pizzas, there have been plenty of times that they have bailed me out for a very fast, and affordable meal when I was traveling to Chicago every day. My wife and I after working and exhausted for the day, it was great to have a ready made meal for a little more than ten dollars, and even have lunch for the next day. You might want to know how someone attained so much success, owned the Detroit Tigers, and the Detroit Red Wings, be my first #www.howiemawi.com super hero? Rich he was, according to Wikipedia, he was worth $6.1 billion dollars, nope, served in the Marines for four years, nope, established the Little Caesars  Love Kitchen established in 1985, a traveling restaurant to feed the hungry and help with food offerings during national disasters(provided for food for more than two million people in Canada and the the United States,  nope, founded the Little Caesars Veterans Program, that provided honorably discharged veterans with a business opportunity, career  when they are making the transition from their military service, nope. You would think with all of the above that I have mentioned, that this certainly qualifies Mister Mike Iltch to be a Super Hero, nope.

What really brought tears to my yes, that my first SUPER HERO, paid Ms. Rosa Parks’s rent for some eleven years, so she could live in a safer part of Detroit. This was the home run, and hat trick that will get Mike Iltch  a box seat in Heaven.

I want to offer my prayers to the family of Mister Iltch(died-February 10, 2017) family and the sports fans of Detroit Michigan,

I see that I have some more reasons to order a #Little Caesar’s Pizza.

 

Maybe It’s Time To Get Some Gold Fillings.

When I was a teenager, going to the dentist meant that it was time to get some more silver fillings. Since my family was barely living on pay check to pay check, the only alternative to have my cavities, was to fill them with silver. I swear that the silver was always into my body, and eventually I would die from metal(silver) poisoning. As the years went by, and of course the price of silver went down, I think my childhood dentist was planning for his retirement, convince my parents that eventually the silver fillings had to come out, and the porcelain would be the better looking replacement. I always wonder why my dentist never gave my parents a rebate from all the silver he recovered. With the way the United States keeps printing money, I can see why my friend #Ronald G. Wayne(one of the original three founders of the Apple Computer Company) is constantly warning me that eventually our money, which is not back by precious metals, will be eventually worthless. In the early 1960’s there were still silver dimes and quarters in circulation.

It didn’t matter back then, most of my friends barely had any money. Getting a weekly allowance of $5.00 a week was big deal back then. gas was like thirty five cents a gallon, and a cheese burger, coke and fries was only a $1.50. The only precious metal I had was in my mouth, and it replaced within three years. I  never thought that at the age of seventy, that I have money and all kinds of debt, credit cards, insurance bills,mortgages, and of course lots and lots of taxes. I can see what Mister Wayne means, I in essence have my own printing press, prints IOU’s instead of money. However something was announced this week from the #German Government, that last year they had a combined total $583 metric tons of Gold ship back to them from the United States and France. At $1200.00 an ounce, I can’t even imagine how much money that is, probably wrong, $1.6 trillion dollars. Yikes, that’s a lot of burgers, but I think Germany sees the handwriting on the wall, and not President Trump’s Mexican wall, that  with all the spending our country is planning to do, that the US dollar will eventually collapse, and has nothing to back it up.

For the time being, I think it might be the right time to make an appointment with my dentist if I can get some gold fillings, better yet some gold dentures, heck maybe I should break all of my  piggy banks and see if I have enough money to buy a gold mouth guard.

Wish me luck!

Could www.howiemaui.com Be the Next www.drshit.com?

It’s been a dream for some four years to see my words, yet alone my own blog  being immortal on the internet for a very long time after I die. It’s certainly been a learning experience. For one thing, there are people who like to tell me  how I can get Viagra, Sex, and even Storm Windows at a great price. Think I have a fan club in Russia, I have never been to the “Iron Curtain”, and have no desire to visit, I might have some pst relatives born in Russia, but it’s not my cup of tea. If someone like me can be bombarded by my Russian and Mexican fan club, I can just imagine how many fans our current and past administrations must have had. I really don’t much to be hacked, and gladly wish these hackers could me pay my bills, but seriously trying to attain my www.howiemaui.com blog has been been some what disappointing.

So today I reached out to my www.godaddy.com rep, and he gave me some pointers on how tighten my security issues for my blog. I like having a daily diary, it’s fun to see what #Donald Trump has to say, and what he did not say. I can see what the president means about the “Fake News”, that is trying to interfere with his tweets. I never thought about this, when President Obama was on Twitter, now it is different. Even though I have issues with President Trump, I recognize that he is communicating with us #Americans on a daily basis. I know he is not acting alone, has a #Republican Congress to guide him, and two Democrat Senators, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to scold him, like a grammar school teacher. All in all, I find myself more involved with the running and guidance of my country, The United States of America. I definitely have to thank Donald Trump for that.

But getting back to my objective today, is how can I get you, my readers react and give true comments on what I have to say. I know my English and Grammar is not up to par,(TERRIBLE) but if I linked my www.howiemaui.com to www.drshit.com(I am not a doctor, or pretending to represent someone in the medical profession), if I would attract more attention, probably not.

I am going to try this experiment for a couple of weeks, if it does not work, I have one more domain name I will try, www.asshole.com, if this domain name does not get me any more comments, I will see if I can sell these two domain names, drshit.com and drasshole.com, maybe I can find two Colonoscopists who can use them.

No matter what, I will always look forward to write the thought that I feel that might be a good topic on my www.howiemaui.com blog!

Is Russia Our Enemy?

It’s a shame that President Trump’s National Security Advisor Lt. General (ret) Michael T. Flynn did not execute the proper protocol when he was talking to Russia’s ambassador, while President Obama was still in office in December 2016. Talking about what the United States should to for Russia’s role in Syria is not what the President needs to be happening. You would think the General would of gotten the permission of the President, he didn’t and did not reveal his complete conversation with the Russian ambassador to Vice President, Mike Pense. In just three weeks, and you can’t help feeling sorry for President Trump, that he picked the wrong person as his National Security advisor. What I think the issue that we must wonder, is what is our relationship with Russia? Is it a chess game, a game that can end in a draw, where everyone respects each other, or a check mate? How many games do we have to play with Russia to figure out that they will always be our enemy, instead of our rivals.

I hope President Trump can pick his next National Security Advisor who is a good listener, only communicates with Russia when he is instructed by President Trump, and is wired so the President and Vice-President can hear what our so call enemy, Russia actually was told. For Lt General Flynn, maybe you can learn Russian and American Sign Language!

Adele Made Last Night Grammys The Best Ever.

I don’t want to go into specifics, of who is #Adele or #Beyonce who Adele refers as “Queen B”, but the undisputed Grammy winner, “Your Highness”,  Adele showed not just the American tv viewers but the whole planet, that winning is not everything what life is about. It was very refreshing to see such a compassionate champion, tell the world that my record album#(Adele 25) was not deserving to take top honors over Beyonce’s album #Lemonade. With tears and humility just gushing out of the face o Adele, it reminded me that America is “Great”, and the way we are going to make it better, is to be compassionate about each other. It’s been a very rough month politically for me to get back into gear of what I love about America. Many things that President #Trump wants to do, as building walls, hurt families who want to come to America, and seniors like myself are going to survive financially in their remaining years.

Adele, emphasized that Beyonce’s album, brought out the true interpretation of the Black experience in Great Britain, and after all the murdering of blacks across America, Adele let  it be known that the music industry have both a singing voice, and music voice to inform their fans, on what they feel is god and wrong in this world. I have been very fortunate to have been able to have the likes of the Beatles, Elvis, and Carlos Santana to be the musical back ground in my life. It was very courageous for Adele to tell the world that we can All make a difference to make our respectable countries places to take pride in. Whether it’s, Great Britain, Mexico, or the United States.

All day I was thinking what would an album featuring six duets of Adele singing with Beyonce, and six solos where Adele is singing Beyonce’s hits and visa versa. I know I am asking the impossible, but if it could happen, I know there would be denying who would win this Grammy album of the year, I would call the album “Split Grammy”. What do think? Or should I ask President Trump?

This Being Sunday, Do You Think President Trump Could Pray For Us?

Like most of my Sundays, it gives me and my wife great pleasure to participate in our Church’s choir, and pray of those are ill and facing many of Life’s struggling issues. I look around and  see my fellow parishioners most with families(children), and others that are seniors like me praying that God will give them the strength to accept the challenges that lie ahead of them, and of course will our new President, Donal J. Trump lead us to a “Great America” again. However this Sunday, I felt the urge, to ask Jesus a question, do you think the President is in his church praying for his fellow Americans, that he will be able to make America Great Again? I checked #Google, and #Twitter, and nothing was mentioned, probably because of security and all the potential problems that could arise, it might be a good idea to have a church service in the White House, or maybe that might not be legal. Well, it was just a thought, it would be nice to hear him say Melania and the family went to church service today, and I asked the Lord to give the strength and guidance I will need to fulfill my Presidential mission. I doubt if he will ever see this posting, but if any of you get to ask him a question, “can you pray for your fellow Americans?”  Amen

Is it Fake or Fache News That We Don’t Understand?

It seems lately from our President down, that we cannot always believe what we read on social media. I don’t know why this seems as a surprise because the American people have been lied to so many times, especially with last year’s elections.  never seen so many books written about the Democrats(Progressives), they wanted the “Enslavements” of our AfroAmericans so they can spend and receive more votes. Speeches have been copied, politicians collect can collect three and four pensions, but us seniors are lucky to get a three dollar a month raise in our social security. So what else is new. We have a president who thinks he can make his own laws. He does not like what he reads on the media about himself, he just label its as “Fake News”, Doesn’t he get it, we live in a “Tabloid” society. It seems that we are going back to our super market mentality, and love to read about the made up stories of our movie stars, politicians, and even our sports heroes. I don’t think it’s a job for Facebook, Linkedin,  Twitter, or even Apple to monitor the truth, it’s a matter what is important. Laws, Honesty, are most important, for many of us it’s a matter if we really care what is fake, or real today.

Is there such a thing as honesty anymore?

Would You Bet Your Life For A $1000,000.000.

When I was a young teenager in 1954, one of my favorite TV shows wad “You Bet Your Life” staring #Groucho Marx as the show’s MC. It was shown in Black and white, and it featured usually couples picked at random, if they can say the ‘secret word”, and collect an instant one hundred bill. I can still see the toy duck with his Groucho glasses and mustache. Groucho always knew how to get laughs from his

The Wrong Woman Ran For President of The United States, Elizabeth Warren.

Don’t get me wrong, it didn’t matter Hillary Clinton was a woman running as President against Donald Trump, what I see that there are very few champions left in the Democrat Party. Now that we do have a Republican president, #Donald Trump, I only see two prominent Democrats, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. Senator Sanders keep reminding us that we must be prepare for the down falls on our health care, and for seniors like myself, my medicare and social security. It doesn’t look good, the republicans most likely are stalling and probably ready to send in the National Guard to our nursing homes when President Trump and Congress announce the mandatory ten-per cent decrease on our social security, and a five to ten per cent increase on our Medicare premiums. I hope not.

However what I witnessed this week of the silencing of Senator #Elizabeth Warren(Democrat-Massachuesttes), was disgraceful on the behalf of #Senator Mitch McConnell(Republican-Kentucky), Senator McConnell stopped Senator Warren from reading a letter from #Coretta Scott King(Wife of Martin Luther King), citing a so call rule”19″, that she could not talk negatively about her fellow senators, sorry but this is why we have a two party political system in our country, and yet SenatorJeff Merkely(Democrat-from Oregon), Senator Tom Udall(Democrat-New Mexico), Senator Sherrod Brown(Democrat-Ohio), and Senator Bernie Sanders(Independent from Vermont) all read the same letter from Coretta Scott king on the Senate floor and received no rebuke,

Whats so disturbing about what is happening now in our country that we have an administration that thinks it can operate outside the parameters of the Constitution, ban entry into the country because of their religious beliefs, and keeping an elected official, Senator Elizabeth Warren her right of expressing “Freedom of Speech” is ludicrous.

What is so sad that we are not hearing from our past elected officials, the likes of Hillary Clinton and President Obama. If this keeps up, maybe we should have another Constitutional convention, and this time make sure that the amendments are tattooed on the bodies of our beloved elected House of Representatives and United States Senators.

I doubt this wink ever happen, we just don’t have that much ink to go around. Oh well, only an idea.

 

Take A Deep Breath And Chill Out, It’s Only For Four Years.

You noticed that I didn’t even bother to add Donald Trump to the title on today’s blog. It seems that every day in America, that our newly elected president let’s us know what he has does, what is he is mad at(Nostrums, is no longer going to carry his daughter’s (Ivanka) clothing line, and of course the confirmation  of his cabinet. whether it’s Betsy DeVos or Senator Jeff Sessions, many Americans are against the president’s choices. Sure his cabinet appointees are ultra conservative, religious, and are from the far right, the one attribute that I admire is that they are SUCCESSFUL. They are multi-millionaires, and they are winners. Isn’t this what the American dream is all about? You only have so much time on this planet, why not make the best of it, a beautiful home, a vacation refuge, three or four automobiles, country club membership, sending your children to a prestigious university, a high paying job, no problems paying bills, having the best doctors and hospitals to go to, successful relatives and friends, you name it the Trump cabinets are these kind of people. What I cannot figure out is why are they taking on a government job? Is it for the love of country, they want to make a difference, or is it that they are fed up with their fellow Americans complaining that America is not the great country they want it to be? Maybe they are fed up with the morality of the country? Whatever it is, everyone knew why Donald Trump wanted to be President. He wants to make America great again, more jobs in this country, lesser immigration, anti-abortion, eliminate terrorism in this country, less taxes, health care better than Obama Care, respect for the Constitution, let the likes of China, Iran, Russia, and South Korea that we are very protective of our country, to our Mexican neighbors, you have tented the United States like everyone else, through the front door, to our Native Americans, did you really think that you really think you are going to be able to stay on your land forever, and to the American Corporations, welcome home, we will lower your taxes, if you keep the jobs in the United States. We live in the land of opportunity, billionaires and millionaires are made every day, as long as the printing presses keep printing our green backs, whats to worry.

I am seventy years old, approximately the same age as President Trump, if he saids not to worry, then I guess I have nothing to worry  about. I just hope that I will be alive in four years, to see if he was right. For now, I am going to chill out, and realize that tomorrow ia another day,
