Did Trump Win The Debate?

Donald Trump -  a scary thought came to mind at the beginning of the debate because we aren't even sure what he will run as An Independent? A Republican? A Democrat? As Carly Fiorina said "He's changed his mind on everything from healthcare to abortion. {What are the principles on which he would govern?}"

Even doubts as to his net worth, and he's worth a lot no doubt, but he says it is 10 billion, but outside estimates put the figuire lower. In June he said he net worth was about 8.7 billion, but Forbes even less at 4 billion.

Many say Trump won the debate but there are some doubts to his statement the Mexican government is sending us prisoners, drug pushers and dangerous felons. When pressed as to his source he said the guards at the border crossings told him this information.

Megyn Kelly was fired at ounce more for saying ugly things about him but if you look at the
May references about their meeting on the air, she merely pointed out that he has never been a lawmaker,or a governor and lacks experience in these areas. Which he does lack expertise, he is a business man, it was an accurate statement.  She is now on his bad list with others, such as Rosie, who some how got also into the debate.

My response to this is, how would he handle high level talks with diplomats from other countries, or would he fly off the handle, and let loose his tongue, ripping some one apart.  Did he look presidential? Giving clear facts, and on which principles he stood? And why did he give money to the Clintons?

I like Trump, I have even been to his seminars on moneymaking. I learned a lot. But from the debate I really learned very little about how he would run the country.  I would like to give him a second chance, but at this point I have more questions than answers.

I felt good after the debate, there were some really good answers I felt from the candidates. I felt like the country does have a chance at recovering with a good president. Lately I have heard people say things like, this isn't America anymore. And people feel we are loosing more jobs, even though we have gained some. I believe as long as people feel the country is in bad shape and the recovery is too slow they will vote with their feelings rather than facts

The person who wins the election will be the one who can convince us the most he or she can rebuild the country making jobs a priority and winning against Isis and other warring factors against us. It will be a person who can make us feel safe again. That we can trust again. It is going to be more about feeling than facts. So people can say this feels like America again, the place where I grew up. The place were my children and grandchildren can be safe. God Bless America

Trump Front-Runner Of The Republican Field For Debate

According to a New York magazine Trump ask former mayor Rudy Giuliani to reach out to Fox News Channel CEO Roger Ailes for a special favor. The report said "Team Trump feared taking a prime-time beating from moderator and Fox anchor Megan Kelly."

Giuliani slammed the report "as categorically, absolutely, one million percent false" in an interview with the Daily News.

Giuliani "We've talked about the campaign and what New Hampshire is like and what Iowa is like, but we have never talked about the debate - not even once."

All this stems from a contentious interview in May Kelly had with Trump. Kelly 'You haven't been a military leader and you haven't governed a state or been a lawmaker" she said on "The Kelly File"

Trump "I make great deals - I've made hundreds of millions of dollars against China." All over the world I make money, and I build great things"

Trump is going to be front and center she told USA Today in an interview. And vows to be "respectful" towards all candidates with her colleagues Bret Bair and Chris Wallace while running the debate.

Trump admits to being a little nervous. "If you are not nervous, you're going to be flat." And also admitted on O'Reilly Factor that he has never debated before.

So here we are with our first debate for the Republican's with Trump front and center. While downplaying and trying to lower expectations he is like everyone else in the debate. He needs to at least sound presidential and seem to know what he is talking about. Most important looking like a credible candidate and able to handle most everything thrown at him. However one debate does not a president make, but it will define what the candidates believe. And hopefully speak intelligently about the problems America has and some solutions to set before us.

I know we say at each election, this election is critical.. But this time it is crucially true, are we going to continue the course we are having of lost jobs, higher utility bills, higher and higher taxes and not gaining on the war against our enemies?? God Bless America

NSA Phone Program Not Authorized In The Patriot Act

Both President's Bush and Obama have stated that the Phone Program of the NSA was legal. However the appellate court last Thursday ruled that it was never authorized by existing law.

The House Judiciary Committee passed a bill last week that would end the bulk collection of telephone and email records because Section 215 expires on June 1st. The law will be changed so that the government will need to obtain the records they need on a case by case basis

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell {R; KY} says there is no time to debate the schedule, and replace Section 215 before the expiration date. Senate Republicans are concerned that national security could be threatened and congress may push a temporary extension with no changes. Also they are not sure it would pass both the House and the Senate because of broad opposition to the program.

Recently retired NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander "I am concerned if we throw out some of these programs, now we are at risk." Continuing "We're stupid, I got it, in the press, but we shouldn't put American people at risk."

The argument - That both records are inherently relevant to terrorism probes - has been a central premise of the NSA.

"Such an expansive concept of 'relevance' is unprecedented and unwarranted" the judge wrote.

Ruling by the three judge panel was in response by the ACLU wanting the collection of data stopped stating that it violates Americans privacy rights...The ACLU appealed a lower court judge ruling that the program was constitutional thus leading to today's ruling.

The panel sent the case back to lower court judge for further review based on these findings.

So the continuing controversy continues where does our security and safety begin and where does our privacy end. Was the NSA created to become a huge collection for our cell phone use by the government? And how much data is needed for our protection?

Evidently we have reach the point where the current is swaying saying that too much data is being used and unnecessary for our protection. However with ISIS on the move and entering our borders how does the government protect us without this information. Would we be hindering our government from keeping track of the enemy and opening Americans to be at risk. These are the hard questions being asked.

Over 5,000 Victums in Nepal Villages and Rising

Officials now estimate a possible 10,000 lives may eventually be taken by the earthquake with an epicenter in the remote mountains of  Nepal and surrounding area. Helicopters are crisscrossing the area carrying injured and delivering emergency supplies as they can possibly do to help these areas and save lives that are still savable.

Confusion and chaos have caused hospitals to be overwhelmed with tents surrounding the hospital grounds and medical supplies running low. This is a picture of what the people of this region are facing. Many of the country people are waking up with no buildings only rubble to deal with. With an estimate of 5 years or more to rebuild because of the remoteness of the area.

There are thousands who have not even been reached yet because there just isn't enough help to get to them. When they do get there, there are few supplies to help and food is becoming a scarcity in some places. Around the world countries and the U.N. are working to coordinate a system to help in these areas.

Another hindrances are mudslides which are causing landslides blocking aid trucks who still fear 2,500 people are still missing near the quakes epicenter.

Red Cross is needed to get early supplies of basic needs to villages and have a line open already if you would like to help.

Another hindrance as though there isn't enough already are sheets of rain pouring down. Even the U.N.'s Worlds Food Program got mired in mud because of the heavy rainfall. They are working at getting food distributed as quickly as possible.

For the time being to get supplies in United Nations says it will release 15 million dollars from it's emergency response fund for the quake victums, bringing in water, medical supplies and temporary shelters where needed.

To help go to Red Cross, click Where it is needed most and a link will come down saying Nepal Earthquake Relief. You might ad a few prayers in there, they could use some of that too. God Bless these people and all they will have to deal with in their future.

Rand Paul And His Cool Sunglasses

Rand Paul sun glasses which are money makers for his presidential run have run into difficulties. His Ray-Ban sunglasses made by Wayfarer Brand have been asked by the company to take the product off his website. The reason, Rand Paul's campaign had been selling the Ray-Ban glasses without the company's consent. The glasses have the imprinted "Rand" logo on the side and Jane Lehman, who handles the corporate media at Luxottica, Ray-Ban's public relations firm, says  "it was without consent."

Some believe he was going after the look of JFK, who wore a certain sun glass on his campaign. A caption on his site says " I can hear Senator Bentsen now "I knew Jack Kennedy and your not Jack Kennedy." Well, you and I may not be Jack Kennedy but Rand likes Ray-Bans and now we all can own Rand branded Ray-Bans"

Well we may all want these amazing cool JFK look-a-likes but can we afford them at $150.00 a pop?
The site continues to say"$150.00 is more than you might normally pay for sun glasses but these are Ray-Bans and even more, they are indelibly marked with the Rand Brand...and as always, it's a contribution to the Rand Paul for President campaign."

Is this the same man who cries and bemoans the congress for overspending and gorging the peoples monies. It may seem a small example but does it show something in his nature that it's wrong to spend the congresses money incorrectly but it's OK to over price a sun glass for my presidential campaign, after all I need the money in order to run, they all do it. Don't they? I need to ask permission to sell them on my website? Why bother me with small technicalities. I'm running for president.

My feeling, if you will do it for a website, will you do the same for larger matters? Like spending our tax dollars? Rand Paul described the product as "the intersection of politics and cool." Mr. Rand there is nothing cool about doing something without permission and then overcharging the people. In fact there is rather something wrong with it. And this could possibly show another side of Rand Paul we would really not like to see.

Where is the Democratic Party?

Over the weekend the republicans met in New Hampshire for a look at the hopefuls for the high office of the presidency. The field is growing more each day. Why so many? I can't answer but this is a crucial election after six years of an Obama failed presidency. And for the democrats so far one has put her hat in the race.  Clinton leads Rand Paul at 47% to 37%. And according to Rasmussen, she also leads Ted Cruz 47% to 38%. She is at this time showing to be a formidable candidate and has according to sources learned her lessons from the first time. And let's not forget the Clinton's have a strong army of money supporters. We also have a new problem as conservatives, a growing number of people who now call themselves progressives especially in large urban areas. For the republicans this race is not going to be a walk in the park.

But my observation is why is Hillary so far the only candidate, and why is she so far ahead? Why are there at this time no other contenders who can come near her? Have the democrats no others who can make a bid? Does this show a weakness on the democratic side? Does it show a lack of leadership? Does it show the democrats are not clearly defined on what they want to stand on? Have they been so long yes men and women to Obama laying homage at his feet? Can they no longer stand up for themselves?

I myself like the two party system with it's gives and takes. A thinking between the two sides. It is dangerous for us to have a one sided race for the White House on either side. And I call out, Where is the democratic Party? And where does it stand?

Here are the poll numbers for the republicans at this time in New Hampshire Walker 23, Bush 17, Paul 15, Christi 6, Cruz 9, Rubio 7, Huckabee 6, Carson 7

Alarming Report - Big Business's Increase Of Cyber Attacks By 40%

Cyber attacks have increased greatly this year. Symnatec, the company behind Norton published it's annual internet security report. The report came out saying 5 out of 6 companies, 2,500 employees or more, have been cyber attacked. The main attacks come from phishing or email fraud in 2014. Smaller companies have not escaped with an increase around 30%.

The biggest attacks are maleware - which attacks workers machines to gain access to data. The attacks averaged a million a day last year.

Another loss was to ransomeware which blocks access to a users date until payment is made to hackers. This increased to 113 percent last year.

The reason for the increase is attackers are finding ways to adapt to the technology companies use for protection.

I myself almost fell to a small attack which came to me as a high alert on my computer. It even stalled my computer making me think that Google itself was trying to reach me. The mistake they made is providing a phone #. I did talk to them but by this time I was coming to figure their plot. Because Google usually alerts you through an email or some other way through your computer and never calls you the plan failed and they hung up on me. I did not give them the info they wanted on the phone call.

The plan also failed as it was not a very good one, although some have probably fallen to it.

My advice, Beware, Be smart, Be careful. But don't let these attacks keep you from the enjoyment you have from your computer. Make sure you have good protection

Computers can be used for good and used for bad.
