POST ELECTION HYSTERIA - CHAPTER 3 EVERYWHERE

I am amazed at some of my fellow Americans.....and embarassed. And ashamed. Like a crowd of 4th graders weeping over the home room teacher denying them recess because they misbehaved, their temper tantrums bounce off the walls of both oceans.
      A few television stations dare to run Mrs Clintons's diatribes, and her flip flops on the news, contrdicting everything she has said Our schools screech out to our children during class time, " what do we tell our children."?
       Hollywood types organized, it is reported, by a former Clinton aide Van Jones, roll on a public service announcement asking the public to pressure the Electoral college people in their zip codes to DENY THEIR AVOWED VOTES ON TRUMP AND SWITCH.
       No print media that I have seen has bothered to print the names of the "public figures that appeared on that PSA urging our Electors to defect against OUR wishes and vote for Clinton instead, But I did recognize anti-war activist and some-time actor Martin Sheen, and a very beautiful red headed actress who played in a TV series. Her name escapes me.
       America, GET A GRIP. Some segments of our country have to cowboy up and get on with it. You didn't see this kind of baby behavior after Obama was elected the first time, DID YOU? After the second time, a national depression maybe, but no hysterical outcry.
       Whoopi Goldberg, and nearly a dozen other "luminaries" not including those on the TV ad urging our electors to vote against our wishes, all said they would move TO CANADA if Mr Trump was elected. Well, he has been. I suggest, we, the deplorable, encourage all those who now detest our country, encourage them to move to Canada, thereby raising the IQ of both countries at the same time......What do you think?
                        He says he is one that will move to Canada if Trump is elected!!  By, Al.

DRONES, I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE

It was me, I think I had a hand in starting it all. I didn't do it on purpose, it was an accident, but it WAS ME. Let me explain.
     Somewhere in the late 70's I was one of the vice presidents of a CIA cover company, or vendor, or something of that sort called Evergreen Air Center in Marana, Arizona just 30 miles northwest of Tucson hiding in plain sight.
     I was the VP of finance, accounting, security, hotel, administration, housekeeping, you-name-it. If it didn't didn't fly, or involve a wrench, and it went wrong, I got blamed for it. Got the picture?
     Now, my handy calculator tells me that was 38 years ago, and what happened on that day surprised the hell out of me, being an AF vet, it should have, because I was used airplanes going forward, manned by pilots.
     Sitting at my desk, crunching numbers, a stranger walked in and said, " You Fulton?" Yup, I told him. Your headquarters sent me, I'm from the DOD (defense) and I'm here to set up a test facility for a new airplane we're going to try out and then give to the ISRAELIS.
     Oh, I replied, what kind of plane, I asked. He told me that it was called a pilot less drone, small, unmanned, equipped with a tv camera to broadcast what it sees back to ISRAELI AF headquarters.
     " They want to keep tabs on the Arabs beyond the mountains so there are no surprise attacks," he continued. (Oh, I thought. Makes sense to me)
     He plunked down paperwork, letter of credit, orders from Foggy Bottom, I arranged what he needed and that was that.
     Recently, while cruising the aisles at Walmart, I found you could buy a top shelf Drone for $50.
Today, drones are all over the place, getting in the way of passenger aircraft, delivering books for Amazon.
     And, it all started at my desk.
