Trump is not focused, he is playing defense

We Americans are all upset or unsettled for one reason or another. I think the daily issues being brought up with the new administration and events in the world are the reason to be concerned and anxious. 
One thing that is becoming more and more of a concern to me is that I have no confidence in anything the administration is saying. They have walked back so many things in such a short time and continue to be distracted by election voting fraud and the enemy press. I ask you can you believe anything that Trump says and then is corrected or spun by his surrogates? Spicer is not ready for prime time and Kelly Anne is just an apologist and does not really answer questions. One thing I can say about her is that she is a good hugger and she hugs with great sincerity and emphasis, at least when hugging President Trump.
Bottom line Trump just makes excuses and blames leaks from Intelligence and vendettas from media. The real issue is the people he has working for him and his inability to understand he is looking more and more like the Emporer without clothes marching in the streets.
Now the real story is that he is such a distraction for all of us that no one is paying attention to what the Republican Congress is doing. They are making bribery by American Oil and Gas industries legal. Opening up holes in the safeguards that were preventing the oh so corrupt financial and securities companies to superheat the securities industry and build profits for profiteers. Pay attention America, they are giving away the safeguards built into law and regulation to protect the average Americans.

I have decided that if I am going to tilt at windmills, I need to do it on my blog. Facebook is not the place to express my views, opinions, hopes, and dreams for this country, for this world. I am not seeking affirmation or challenging others on their views, but I welcome any feedback.  I have discovered that many of the men and women that have crossed my path, both professionally and personally, are out there and because of our time together have established a connection that I value and am grateful to be able to engage.  We all share the oath we took, some many times over, and believe so very strongly in the core of that pledge, to serve our country and to defend it using our combined strength and will. I hope that my shipmates, friends, and family will use this blog to discuss, argue, and seek solutions and answers to the things/issues/concerns that need answers and our commitment to see through to resolution.

Men of Annapolis TV Series 1957-1958

http://www.usna63.org/ tradition/history/ MenofAnnapolis .html I decided to go to the Naval Academy when I was 7 years old, I remember the moment clearly. I was standing in our yard on 81st Street in Virginia Beach. It was 1954 and I was very conscious of my dad being in his uniform when he came home from work and this created a deep association and identity for me. It was when I first spent the night aboard a US Navy ship, USS Muliphen , an amphibious cargo ship, when my dad had duty. I remember how much fun and how thrilling it was to eat in the wardroom and tag along with my dad when he made his rounds and watching a movie at night after dinner. I loved ships, the smell and sounds of a ship settled into my consciousness and have never left. It was later that I saw the Men of Annapolis TV series and it made a very powerful impression on me about what a midshipman's life was, and what a special experience being at the Naval Academy represented. We were living in Washington DC

Are we exceptional or do we need a little more humility?

Actually, it is a country that began with European contact by white people who actually invaded in the 1500 and 1600s, established colonies, prospered with the institution of slavery and indentured servitude, wrested lands away from the Native American's by forced removal, genocide and false treaties, fought a Civil War over the institution of slavery, which ended slavery, allowed the southern states to terrorize negroes through agencies like KKK and created segregation laws and practices, suffered an economic depression, fought WW II interning Japanese Americans while utilizing
