I Just Read The Memo

It seems to me, and mind you I was a federal LEO / federal agent for 32 years, that if everything in that memo is true then someone at the FBI, the DOJ and the DNC, in fact more than one person at each, needs to be arrested and tried. The charge: at the very least for felony conflict of interest for some in the FBI and DOJ and conspiracy for others if not for all who may wind up having been criminally involved. I believe there are other charges that could and should be filed, and the charges I just mentioned are mere starting points.

What else is there for me to say but it is OBVIOUS to me that there was a concerted effort, a conspiracy, by those within the FBI, DOJ and DNC to assure that Donald Trump would either not become president or would be brought down by way of him being arrested should he have been elected and that all based upon utter made up bullshit. Folks, I think that amounts to an attempted coup or in other words and in my opinion to treason.

If you have not read it yet, you can click on this link to do so. I used to wonder now ad then had we become a banana republic or worse yet had we become just like our enemies in the com-bloc nations of the world. The answer, I think, is yes we finally have done just that - at least our premiere law enforcement department and agency seem to have done so. Now, to whom are we to look for a thorough, impartial and truly just investigation into all of this! I am guessing it could only be a tribunal of the people, by the people, for the people. May the Heavens bless America - and give us the strength to survive our fall into the abyss so we may rise again to greatness.

All the best,

Knocked Out Our Tax Returns Today...

...and was very happily surprised to see we had overpaid by quite the wee bit more than I would have imagined. So, we are going to get an exceptionally nice refund from the federal government and a nice one from the state too. Into the bank at least the federal refund will go. The state refund probably will be used for something on the fun side of life.

The thing that got us a very nice sized federal refund is that my wife cut back a lot on her hours at one of her two part time jobs. That was done so she could babysit our grandson when our daughter works. Well, she did that but I did not change the withholding from my federal pension, which I had already raised a year or two before to assure we would not wind up owing anything at the end of the tax year when she as working the longer hours. It made for an awfully nice refund this year of money that was never missed.

Hopefully the Trump tax plan will not hut us even though we live in uber taxed NY State The U.S. Office of Personnel Management already lowered my withholding from my pension this year but I went in and adjusted it to even a bit more than what it had been last year. I did that because I expect my wife to be working more this year, know my pension will be a bit higher than last year (Trump gave us a small cost of living raise) and am none too certain how the Trump tax plan will effect us. Anyway, I am not of the belief that me paying just the right amount or  owing a bit at the end of the year is good for us, at least not better than letting the feds hold my money and then having them return to us what I would otherwise have wasted. At least when getting a refund, we get it all at once and can either spend/bank some or all of it all at once or just stash it all away at once.

All the best,
