The COVID-19 War is on & the Virus Battle is far from won:
Even as COVID-19 remains a dreadful disease it supports the old saying that the bad wind that blows up the Rooster’s tail also exposes its fine underbelly… For months we have been witnessing a disconnect from reality, a crashing of economies, a fight for equality and a universal lack of leadership… Things have changed more in 6 months than we ever thought possible in 6 years.
COVID-19… Harsher than I like but just as true as always

Good Government is always for the People by the People:
As staunch supporters of Good Governance, we expect Governments to do what they think is right and, even if they fall short, we can appreciate their effort… I join in giving our Government that praise… However, until the Mission is accomplished, we would expect any good Government to welcome fair assessment and progressive ideas… That and nothing more is my objective.

COVID-19… Too close for comfort

Are we wiser than we look?
Most of us share a common wish; that the actions of all Governments are based on whatever is in the best Intentions for their People… Unfortunately, we sometimes lose sight of this when faced with Trumpism designed to make us doubt our own eyes and ears… However, the Coronavirus is a real and present danger, requiring true leadership in the way it is approach and the decisions are made.
Preparing ourselves before COVID-19 reaches the VI

As the World spins on its head:
What we don’t know is hurting us more than what we know… Churches and schools closed from teaching and preaching, persons anxious to work for an honest living are denied access to job sites, death tolls are rising but mourners are prohibited from attending funerals, world leaders are falling within the target zone and the young are basking in carelessness… World powers are weakened.
We must fix NHI together before it’s too late for us

Sometimes we need to speak Truth to Power:
This goes for Family, Friends, You and Everybody including Enemies who would like me to be passive and ‘go along to get along’… We are only where we are because some persons chose to be different… Not because it was easy but because it promoted, the goodness in man and they saw it as necessary – We all have roles to play and you may be one such person without even knowing.
A few facts about NHI before becoming hooked on lies

As it was in the Beginning…:
As we enter the Year 2020, the very name suggests a clear vision of what is before us but the past years have taught us that even good things turn bad and, whether natural or man-made disasters; hurricanes, earthquakes, cancer or asthma, we are seeing crises like never before… Today’s children are now as affected as their grandparents and we truly need a policy of putting health first.
Old year or New year – Will the difference be good?

Leaving the past behind:
This has been a turbulent year of high drama - We saw the passing of a 1st Premier, the election of a Brexit advocate as Prime Minister, a US President impeached for being unfit for office and the hasty alienation of 1500 VI Rights and Privileges… For better or worse, each of these events can and will affect many of us individually and collectively; positively or negatively; in the short term or in the long term.
Donald J. Trump impeached!
WASHINGTON DC, USA- Donald J. Trump has become the third US president in history to be impeached by the House of Representatives, setting up a trial in the Senate that will decide whether he remains in office.
Our children’s path must lead from here to there

Acknowledging the Past & Present:
Donald J. Trump has set the standard for New Governments blaming Old Governments but New Governments can become old quickly by failing to address the needs of a people and neglecting that which requires rectification… As we enter the final month of the year crucial questions are still unanswered and many of our dearly departed who entered the year erect have left it horizontal.
