Godspeed, Mr. President

Daily writing prompt
Who is the most confident person you know?
Liberty Squeeze

Thirty-four felony counts against him for falsifying business account records to cover-up an extramarital affair–and the last thing that prosecuting Judge Merchan said to Donald Trump today was: “Sir, I wish you Godspeed as you assume your second term in office.” Wow. That’s Confidence. He never gave up. I can’t cast a single stone here when I honestly take a look at my own life.

Whaaa. . .

Teaming up with one of the smartest and richest man in the world, he has done what countless presidents’ vowed to stop–waste and fraud in the US government–and yet their earlier promises remain empty and unfulfilled.

Not today. Two Trillion dollars of: Social Security checks going to dead people, aid going to foreign countries for bizarre causes, GSA bills, and department closures–all without any accountability or transparency to-and-or-for the American People–is being clawed back and contracts cancelled! That’s Confidence.

What Ten Million Dollars for Condoms for Iraq looks like.

Says Elon, another candidate for Confidence, said, “All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency… We will also have a leaderboard for the most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining.”

I prayed and meditated before I published this prompt because I couldn’t figure the upside, if any, by posting. But, as I believe that there are no coincidences in God’s World, my turning point in being okay with our government, was when campaigning, he narrowly avoided a fatal shot to his head. By milliseconds. I do believe this could only have come from God giving him–and us–U.S. a second chance at a first class life.

God gave most of us the gift of gab, and a “voice” with which to talk a good talk–and convince others towards are cause–but true discernment at what is confidence versus what is just ego–is my point here.

Can you accept our new President’s Confidence, although you don’t approve of his Personality? Can you separate Personality from the topic here about Confidence? If people were destroying your reputation and calling you names, would you lose your Confidence? If you lost an election, would you have the Confidence to come back and win?

One of my saddest days was when I read the final sign-off of losing the Fairness Act in Print and Media by Barack Obama–and the resulting chaos online and on networks and in print about the loss of respecting another person’s choice and belief system. Interestingly, Joe Biden said he believed he didn’t sign-off on the Keystone XL pipeline yet with the substitute legalese included in the end of the Fairness Doctrine: the bill puts the law into a “diagnostic” mode of future “study.”

Please hear me here. Don’t let your first shock or emotion get you sidetracked from what is actually being used in small print and to deceive you and create fraud. Just recall a magician’s tactic–distraction from one hand at what is going on in the other hand.

We are all on our own path. How can I show up with Love and Unconditionality for my family and my country?

That being said, I’d love to quote, from a show called The Apprentice: “Chuck, you’re fired!”
