WE WISH WE HAVE A MAGIC WAND




" President Trump pledged to ‘Make America Great Again’. On the campaign trail he promised when it came to our military, he would rebuild it and return it to one of the finest. Trump promised he would increase the size of our troops – adding 350,000 soldiers to our U.S. Army and adding 10-15 battalians to the U.S. Marine Corps. He also said he would add 1200 figher aircraft to the U.S. Air Force, as well as, 350 Surface Ships and submarines to our U.S. Navy."




Of course, every Presidents, every Americans, all want our military to be all mighty. If we could magically wave our hands and make this happened, we all would. However, there are things called reality. Social, financial, and military components are all intertwined. Balancing these three components are very difficult. Great Presidents are the ones who have the skill, knowledge, and common sense to strike a good balance between these components. I sincerely hope that Donald Trump would be one of them. If only one component were sufficient for the success of our country, a FOOL could do it.
THREE-CARD TRICK 
Speed Is The Essence

    Just a few week ago, the push to replace ACA* was dead. Now it has become Johny 5** again. What change during the last few weeks? The official answer is that modifications have been made to the initial proposal. Were the modifications any good? Were there anything hidden from the public? Lets analyze some of the comments made in this video:


    1. "ACA has failed": Not in my book. If it was not for the ACA, I would ha...ve been in a deep shit a few years ago. But this is just my personal experience.

    2. "All law makers should come out and work together": Nice remark, but how can people work together if the GOP is doing the Mig 17*** thing, putting​ it up for vote only 17 hrs after the modification became public.

    3. "Afraid of the truth be known": I am not Pelosi's fan, but I believe she is right on this one. Why the Mig 17? Why not giving a week or two for us to understand and may be to write our congressmen about how we see or feel?

    ACA is not North Korean missiles. It does not need Mig 17 to resolve it. Is this a three-card shuffling trick where the soul purpose is to cheat with speed?
    * Affordable Care Act.
    ** In reference to a movie about a robot being brought to life.
    *** In reference to the speed of a Russian fighter, MIG 17.



HUMOR - America's Fate:

TWO DIFFERENT TALES ABOUT HOW WE GET HERE:
Rumors were that somewhere in a red-planet galaxy thousands of light years away from Earth, a young boy accepted a challenge while everyone else dared not to.
Now becoming an old man, he is fulfilling his promises. Although everyone knew that the old man had made promises, no one knew for sure, whom he had made the promises to.  Yet, others believed that it was a divine person who issued the challenge; therefore, they thought he was a chosen one.
Which story do you believe?

"OOMA," LAWS OF THE JUNGLE
A political satire by Sokha Ou-Uun


The dialogs are in Cambodian language, but the translation or the story goes like this:


Ducks Asking For Help
Once upon a time, there was an animal kingdom  called Thug's Law located some where in Southeast Africa. This kingdom is supposedly ruled by a spiritual rabbit who has been perceived to have been granted by heaven as the supreme leader of the kingdom.  There were also a bunch of small animals who want nothing but to live there freely and equally.  Among these little creatures, there were ducks who often stood up for the rights of all animals living in this Thug's Law kingdom. 

Then, there were a lion and a bear with a bunch of wild dogs roaming and enforcing the laws in  the kingdom. They took whatever they pleased and did whatever thugs do to control everything in the kingdom. They sometimes reached outside the kingdom to recruit new brainless dogs. Small animals often fell victims to the all mighty lion and bear; they were terrorized by them or even terminated by the OOMA** jungle law.

Consultation
In one instance, the lion and the bear decided to ban the ducks from swimming in any lakes, citing an article of the OOMA. For years, the ducks were trying to do everything they could to get back in the lakes. But nothing worked. Then, they thought of the supreme spiritual rabbit and asked him to grant them the permission to swim. For some reason, even though the law of the land had already granted the rabbit the power to decide, the chief went to the lion and the bear to confirm the existence of such law. 

In response, the lion and the bear told the rabbit that the laws of the kingdom, Art. BS.101 does not permit anything with GREEN feathers to swim.  The rabbit accepted the explanation and told the ducks the bad news. 

The ducks had no choice but to accept that explanation because telling the rabbit that their feathers are actually YELLOW and not green could be seen as a challenge to the supreme leader, which is the worst crime anyone could commit in the kingdom.

Bragging About OOMA
The Two Evils
After the rabbit had left, both the lion and the bear started to dance and chant "OOMA ! OOMA ! OOMA !...."

One might ask how did the lion became so powerful, and had more power than the heavenly spiritual rabbit. The answer is, the lion has sold its soul to, and has been supported or controlled by two evils, Mr. Vee and Mr. Chin.

MESSAGE TO ALL OEOEU: Stop Whining!
By Sokha Ou-Uun

Not a day goes by that I do not hear moaning and whining from the OEOEU. This is not a scientific sample, but I must say, 60% from the RIGHT and 40% from LEFT. The US election is over. Get over it. Right or wrong, we have to deal with it. Stop the tit-for-tat, stop attacking national problems with finger-pointing, get down and work to find solutions.

For the losers, mostly LOEOEU, whining is not going to change the election result. Work to change things that you feel that is wrong. Look at issues instead of personality. Stop blaming the media for not reporting what you like. Does it matter where you get the news from? You get the info, use your brain,analyze it, and work with it.

For the winners, mostly ROEOEU, there is no need to keep on trying to justify the victory by blowing other people's candles. You have won. Use big stick instead of BIG MOUTH and start working on the promises. It is the end results that will tell whether or not this is for real. Stop blaming the media for not reporting what you like. Does it matter where you get the news from? You get the info, use your brain, analyze it, and work with it.

So stop this childish tantrum just because you did not get what you wanted: not winning or not fully accepted by all. For the sake of this country, please go and prove yourself.

(OEOEU: One Eye One Ear User - R for Right and L for Left)
