It is a year without lust fading into history quietly too. After all, we didn\u2019t see anything major, decisive or exciting that factually made a difference in the year just receded.<\/p>\n
And so we take restful stops in the awning of \u201cla ma\u00f1ana\u201d while struggling to look hopelessly intelligent, if not scholarly, or both.<\/p>\n
That we haven\u2019t done anything of significance encourages walking along the shore with fishing pole to reel in anything I could find and leap with it, blindly. Gee! Is the sentiment the result of the discordant \u201cque sera\u201d from Da Hills of Saipan?<\/p>\n
But then it\u2019s the usual, you know, laid back attitude singing \u201cmake the world go away\u201d while our house is on fire. It must be one grand excuse to feed upon royal ma\u00f1ana. Obviously, there\u2019s the lack of urgency all around. EVERbody home?<\/p>\n
In spite of it all we\u2019re not absolved from the responsibility guiding the fate of our people. So what\u2019s your considered view of the most vital issue facing our simple folks at home today? <\/p>\n
And I\u2019m not asking this query of the alleged leadership on Da Hills of Saipan. With any decent IQ they ought to know better than any of us, sayu?<\/p>\n
Phenomenon<\/strong><\/p>\n Homelessness of fellow citizens has reached crisis level across the fruited plain. In California alone nearly 200,000 families are without a roof over their heads. <\/p>\n So most have simply placed canopies along the streets and call it home. These folks comprise of the jobless, mentally ill and other filial setbacks. Throwing money at it isn\u2019t the answer either.<\/p>\n State and federal officials have descended to figure out the beast. A lot need help finding the means for family support. A lot more need real time training to introduce them into new jobs. <\/p>\n Hopefully the dual intercession would assist families regain their dignity. The strength of the global community begins with the family.<\/p>\n Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n Leadership requires vision and commitment to implement meaningful policies that factually improve the livelihood of simple villagers. I will personally research the performance of each elected official to see if he or she isn\u2019t humming the dismissive lyrics \u201cmake the world go away\u201d. It\u2019s all a matter of integrity and commitment, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n Inadequacy<\/strong><\/p>\n What is it that we lack today? Definitely, it is the persistent insufficiency of funds to meet basic needs. It is indicative that investments has either stagnated or stopped altogether. Nobody\u2019s fault but one that requires critical ocular review.<\/p>\n Most Nippon investments are history! I have yet to see financial analysis how much was this economic loss but I heard familiar tune like \u201cque sera\u201d. Really?<\/p>\n So what have we manufactured beyond the usual adoption of useless resolutions as a badge of honor boasting irrelevant perception in policymaking? Could we market any of them to encourage revenue generation? Call it \u201clama\u00f1ana!\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, our fate is contingent upon the quality of leadership at the helm. With competency things could move forward easily. Without it, it\u2019s like a long rainy day that eases into a snore at the wheels. Eh, you sleepin` braddah?<\/p>\n Up front and center is the hardship nearly 15-thousand employees had to endure in poverty. It\u2019s a condition forced upon them as a direct result of the elected elite\u2019s obvious negligence and incompetence.<\/p>\n R&R<\/strong><\/p>\n For now, I\u2019d settle in grandpa\u2019s chair in the dirty kitchen to see how events unfold rightly or wrongly. If I have to poke your overblown ego then see if you could grow thicker skin for criticism from taxpayers comes with the territory. Success<\/strong><\/p>\n Trump Tower in downtown Manhattan, a 58-story building that is home to his money making global firms. It is this success that had me salivating what our future would be like if in fact there\u2019s real time economic growth and development here. It simply means more businesses, jobs and higher income. But such isn\u2019t the case, is it? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is a year without lust fading into history quietly too.

\nIf you\u2019re now in elected office, what have you done on a factual basis that improved family wellbeing across the archipelago? If your answer is \u201cnot yet, already\u201d then it goes to show your lack of perception of your fiduciary duty! <\/p>\n
\nIf you have doubts of hardship in the livelihood of our people take a cruise around town and make critical ocular review of life in family homes. Most villagers are still staring at their empty wallets and family purses quizzing whatever happened to promises of better days. They had to endure weird sunsets at 4pm quizzing, \u201cWhy is this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBut this isn\u2019t the tower I\u2019m looking for other than the Donald\u2019s grand success building unsurpassed economic prosperity nationwide. It\u2019s unheard of since 1969. Did you get this pal?<\/p>\n
