Polls do more to reveal the real Donald Trump than anything else

For quite some time now, people have been trying to pull back the thousands of layers of Donald Trump to reveal who he really is and what he is truly about.  The public is quite well aware of the “blow-hard” tough negotiator and elite business manager he claims to be.  The public is well aware of how much of when he speaks is less about the specific of what he is or would do if elected and more about how wonderful and special he is.  The public is well aware that Donald Trump thinks so highly of himself that he is trying to help the public understand just how stupid they would be if he is not elected.  What the public may not have known but is beginning to see being uncovered is a more revealing Donald Trump, exposed by the latest Iowa and one National Poll and solidified by that one statement made at a campaign event after Trump learned about it.

When Mr. Trump was asked about the 2 Iowa polls that had him trailing Dr. Ben Carson, he dismissed them as small polls and would go right back to skirting the subject of the question asked by whomever was talking to him.  This all changed after word came that Mr. Trump was now falling behind Dr. Carson in a national poll.  At an event right after this news broke Mr. Trump informed the members of his rally that if Iowa doesn’t get its numbers up, he would never speak to them again and to please get those numbers up.  I should not have to tell you how that would sound coming from a President Trump to other world leaders in a meeting about our national security.


For those who call themselves “isolationist” this may mean Donald Trump is their guy because if he does not get his way, he will take all his marbles and go home.  This appears to be his main tactic and may have been used several times in his business deals but refusing to step back and the light to shine on others is not his strong suit.  This may have worked with the GOP establishment when he used it to get his way in the debates but can you see fear instilled in the eyes of this nation’s adversaries when he sits across from them and uses this same tactic on them?  A bully is only a bully if the tactic they implore are allowed to work and it appears that so far Mr. Trump may have just played his “ace in the hold” card.  Maybe now his book sales number will grow high enough so that he can replace losing in the polls with how much more his book is selling than the other candidates now that his number one talking point is no longer.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that...

The Truth about Malcolm X’s Murder Begins and Ends with Louis Farrakhan

What made Malcolm Little stand out from all those born during his era went far beyond intelligence to a point of realism.  History tells us that as a young child, he was subjected to his “Lansing Michigan home being burned to the ground” and the body of his father, Earl, being found “lying across the town’s trolley tracks”.  Both of these incidents were reported by the police as accidents even though there were evidence that the white supremacist organization Black Legion could have been behind this.  He was also subjected to his mother losing her mind, having to be institutionalized and all eight children, including himself” split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages”.   This education and the education of the streets allowed him the opportunity to reexamine his life and the direction it was going while he spent months and even years behind bars for the crimes he committed during his youth.  He finally decided to dedicate his life to a higher cal...

A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears

  I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming to be one thing or another.   Claiming to be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total hypocrite. Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their actions depict something else.   I don’t think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this trip at least one time or another in their lives.   Because we are human, and accidents happen, it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of...
