Thank You Donald Trump

Now that we have seen the birth certificate can we move ahead. Obama is not a leader and can not manage. Of course he could have ended this long ago, but why should we expect logic from the clueless Barry O.

That being said it is very odd that the word African was used in 1961. In other certificates from the time period the word Negro was typically used in that time period. The mere fact that there is an anomaly does not infer that there is fraud.

Beware of web document experts with imagined expertise. An actual determination may only be done from an original by experts at the lab.

Family

I am easy going as it is too much effort to get excited. I did assist some family members with a unique situation. The problem has since been resolved and not one word of thanks frpm the person we helped. Iam unpeterbed by the Tranquil Sea is livid.

The Sprite does not let me sleep. I am grouchy after four days of no sleep.

Butterfly Exhibit

I went with my daughter to the butterfly exhibit at the Museum of Natural History.
I have been to these things at least twice and the novelty has worn off. The Museum was mobbed and traveling with a seven year old is a series of bathroom breaks. The food at the Museum was actually good.

We went from there to Ben's Best Deli on 38th. The food is always excellent there and my daughter can use the facilities there without issue. I would like to have had a plate of kreplach but having a Hindu kid has a few minor issues.

Packages to Guyana

In addition to whatever help I can send I provide some entertaining gifts for the girlfriend's family. I sent over a 1963 Impalla model with a paint kit for the family. I also sent some Little Girls Disney Princess coloring books for a seven year old girl.

I am always looking for unusual items foe the family.

Packages to Guyana

The Shutdown

I have mixed emotions about a government shutdown. In the event of a shutdown I likely will enjoy a short vacation. It is quite confusing how my agency which is fee driven is
supposed to be shut down.

Having not worked for government I would point out the excesses of unionism. However having been on the front lines cronyism and mediocrity of unaccountable management is a serious issue.

Bottom line is the unholy cabal of soft labor deals and limitless entitlements is over.
Those on the responsible left grasp this and folks like the Duck need to be sent to Hugo's crack den.

Being Dad

I have not been blogging much and have been spending more time at home with my daughter and beloved Maltese. The little guy grows on you after a while and is very
fun to hang out with.

Work has gotten better as the winds have fate have been kind to me. Those that have made my life difficult were moved or reduced in rank.

I do not see things getting better in the USA. Those who are out of work are growing more despondent. We can not move forward until entitlements and job creation are addressed.

Last Gasp before Death

There was yet another loud protest by unions and their Marxist stooge parasite corner in NYC yesterday.We are in an era of tighter budgets. The age of unionism draws to a close. Everyone has to tighten their belts.

We are seeing the last gasp of a movement that failed to adapt to the present.

Passing of a Queen

I went to the funeral of a former boss.Whatever happened to me took place after her duties were altered. She was the rare boss who was loved by the public, workers and attorneys. She knew the law beeter than you and used common sense and heart. Many a person was touch by an angel with a kindness and modesty.

Our work is governed by a series of laws and what we can tell fellow officers is governed by the Privacy Act. The general principle is "needs to know". An officer asked me to explain some issues on a case that had been unresolved for 18 years. I was reluctant to provide context because it touched on deeply personal aspects of the person's private life. Our angel smiled at me and said you know the right thing to do and expedite bringing the file home 18 years is too long. I conveyed the information and the case was approved in two hours and on its way to NYC. The thing that made our angel special was she hated those who are BS artists or Proceduralists.
The procedure should never be more important than serving the public.

I was lucky to have worked with such a magnificent person. I count her amongst the most memorable influences in my career.

I will miss her greatly as will many others.
