The American Enterprise Manifesto: My America's Vision of Peace and Nonviolence for Humanism

With the signing of 40 executive orders and 30 policy statements on day one of his new administration, President Biden set in motion his dystopian plan for governing.

T...

Regardless of the vote count Joe Biden is our President.  Who gains who loses?  It will take four years to answer the who wins question and four minutes to answer who loses.  Obviously, the voters for Biden want a change of leadership.   That's who gains ... Biden's 80 million voters of course ... for a while.   The losers are those 75 million voters looking at a...

My biggest problem is listening to everyone, including my family, calling a problem an issue.  What's the difference anyway? Well look at the definition of a problem (a life changing incident that needs to be avoided or solved by change with facts and resolution) and Issue (a disagreement between two or three entities, human or otherwise, that disagree on an argument affecting both parties an...

(Have you wondered, as I do, why everything in our culture is an issue not a problem to be solved. I believe this is a political tactic by a country run be 545 elected officials (100 senators, 435 congressmen, 9 supreme court justices and a President) that don’t want to be transparent on our deep underlying financial and social problems) Rome is the best example of a great society that consumed it...

Who Captains the American Ship Enterprise  (100 Senators, 435 Congressmen, 9 Supreme Court Justices, 1 President)   90% attorneys with no business background! Why would we reelect the two parties that got us into a bankrupt position? If so why don't we hold them accountable? • Why would we believe that the red and the blue parties act in our best interests? If so why are they not ab...

 Governor Cuomo, Dr. Fauci and the CDC errored: Unfortunately, by not doing risk analysis showing that Covid-19 nursing home patients should not be kept at the nursing homes but should be transferred to and kept in hospital ICU’s, though overcrowded. He was also the one that demanded that he needed 30,000 ventilators now! And failed to use most of them or the extra beds at the Javits Center o...

The 1619 project, proffered by Nikole Hannah-Jones, author of the 1619 Pulitzer prize winning commentary, is promoting a change in American history. Will it change America’s culture to reverse racism as promulgated by the black lives matter movement? What are the facts concerning this “what comes first the chicken or the egg” event? Did the first slaves come to America at Jamestown in 1619 or is t...

When the two party system fails us what's next.  What are the odds of a third party being able to compete for a swing vote for equity and equality in governance?  The answer I get is no way.  Why?  Because it takes money to compete and connections to get elected to any position ... national or local.  Even the school boards are politicized.  What if there is enough vo...

The Republican Capitalist and Democratic Socialist Parties have failed, leaving Americans at great danger in five ways: 1. Fiscal and financial failure 2. Health, environmental and welfare failure 3. Consensus and constitutional failure 4. Justice and equity for all failure 5. Patriotic and peaceful coexistence failure FISCAL AND FINANCIAL FAILURE The country is bankrupt. American Federal and Stat...

The need for investment in infrastructure is no more evident than in public school districts in the ghettos. My concern ... is this intentional or are we blinded by leaders who want status quo? Root cause analysis of why public schools are inferior to suburban schools shows that public school facilities across America are funded by property taxes on slum landlords' low value housing and struggling...

What are the ten planks of Marxism proposed by Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto put forth in 1848 as the necessary steps to destroy capitalism in a free enterprise democratic system.   #1. Abolish private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes. 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. 3. Abolition of rights to inheritance. 4. Confiscation of the p...

The Affordable Care Act of 2012 is not affordable nor is it the solution to a $4.2 trillion budgetary nightmare.  Taking the politics out of it means this is a bipartisan problem.  It's called the Monopsony Game.  That's where the government controls the pricing of health care services without regard to quality or costs. First and foremost, the Administration did lie about the cost...

I'm a new pod caster.  That is probably evident due to my having to do some presentation using my books and other using my use of poetry to inflect sensitivity into the serious problems in our society and politics.  Once I achieve more professional and passionate presentations I feel the listener will share some of my ideas and experience in the health care field, the fiscal management f...

Will the use of reinforcement to replace enforcement improve the outcome for injustice and racism? This symbiotic pursuit of equality can be traced to the current use of enforcement versus reinforcement of the law and regulatory system we have in America.  My family and I were consultants to nursing homes for twenty years and owners for seven years.  We had a mission to change the cultur...

In Kenosha Wisconsin, Julia Jackson, the mother of Jacob Blake eloquently asked for peaceful protests for humanity, after having to accept that her son was a victim of apparent police brutality. Unfortunately, the ensuing protests broke ranks and began the rioting that is seething throughout America. Discord of systemic racism, inequality and injustice is ravaging our country. As with George Floyd...

HEALTH CARE OR WEALTH CARE: America is in the Red Zone approaching a $4 trillion dollars per year end zone? Will it be free universal Health Care for all or not? So, the wealthy providers get richer and America gets unhealthier.  Per my book "America is in the Red Zone" we are 38th in quality and first in cost per capita in the world.  As obesity goes up life expectancy goes down and Cov...

The POTUS' bully pulpit is an enabler to exercise leadership and opinion. I'm going to create my own pulpit looking for consensus of ideas, goals and solutions. First of all, no one is totally ready and competent to be President of a country of 330 million diverse and enterprising Americans. That being the case how can we collectively work together for common goals? What are the collective goals?...

How does the human brain work when it is controlled by fear? Is it objective and open to new problems and solutions? Or is it closed by what is causing the fear. Well let’s look at the real worldwide fear of the pandemic for example. Objectives should be, number one ... all lives are equal and matter, number two focus on the ones that are at the highest risk, number three using probabilities (AI s...
