Hell On Earth...

..or so it has been described by many residents of  Gatlinburg, TN where wildfires have raged destroying at least 250 buildings and causing a mass evacuation of 14,000 people. More here.

Folks, I know it is the Christmas and Chanukah seasons and many of you are tapped out of cash because of gift buying but maybe you can find it in your hearts to donate at least a little bit to efforts to assist those impacted by the fires. There are probably many organizations to which you can donate but the only one I know of right now that is soliciting monetary donations for disaster relief is the Red Cross. As much as I do not like to donate to the Red cross, I prefer organizations where more of the donation actually goes to disaster relief, I sent them a modest donation in the hopes it will help the folks in TN.

All the best,

He Is Becoming More Presidential...

...as each day passes. Donald Trump's metamorphosis from successful real estate mogul to being truly presidential has taken a major leap with his announcement that "I will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” (source). 

Yesterday, I noted how he and Pence have come to an agreement with the Carrier corporation to keep almost 1,000 jobs in the U.S. instead of moving operations to Mexico. All that while selecting his cabinet at a good pace. Even before being elected by the Electoral College, let alone taking the oath of office, Trump has become more presidential that Obama did in his almost 8 years as president.

All the best,
