Post the 2020 election I cannot help but to be thinking, “Why don’t our elected officials represent all the rest of us?” My believes are that very few people hold views that are strictly conservative, or strictly liberal, and that we most all agree the system is broken -- Our Government is no longer serving its constituents. Why and how this has become the case?

Think my next read will be “The Politics Industry” which offers some insights to our dysfunctional system it has become. Though we cannot and should not live under the illusion that we will get everything we want, all the time. Governance is by all measures a series of compromises.

The polarization we have become of representation in our country is dividing a zero-sum outcome for which we cannot stand. We should not be leaving the ideas and positions from both sides that have merit and are good to no path to implementation.

There is a need for a better understanding of what is broken, and what we as citizens can, and need to do is the first step to changing it.

For most U.S. workers, real wages have barely budged in decades -- Sluggish and uneven wage growth has been cited as a key factor behind widening income inequality in the United States. A recent Pew Research Center report, based on an analysis of household income data from the Census Bureau, found that in 2016 Americans in the top tenth of the income distribution earned 8.7 times as much as Americans in the bottom tenth ($109,578 versus $12,523). In 1970, when the analysis period began, the top tenth earned 6.9 times as much as the bottom tenth ($63,512 versus $9,212).

The disconnect between the job market and workers’ paychecks has fueled much of the recent activism in states and cities around raising minimum wages.

Adjusted for inflation, today's average hourly wage has about as much purchasing power as it did in 1978. Most wage increases have gone to the highest earners.

This is Reagan Escudè thoughts and video on the Gospel and Black Lives Matter - I agree with Reagan: I am deeply grieved over the status of our nation right now, and I am more disheartened by the reaction of our churches, church leaders, and Evangelicals who are failing to preach the Gospel and conforming to the patterns of this world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The gate is narrow—more narrow than I thought.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this video, I discuss why the BLM movement isn’t Biblical, why Christians should rise above it, and how we can share the Gospel during this time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stop prescribing worldly solutions to spiritual problems. Stop promoting Marxist ideals in the name of compassion. Stop seeking justice where justice cannot be found. Stop looking to the world for advice on what it means to love, have mercy, and seek justice. But instead be transformed by the renewing of your mind through the power of the Holy Spirit, and seek TRUE justice, love mercy, and walk humbly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are not virtuous because you support a movement. You are not glorifying God when you apologize for your whiteness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
God is sovereign. And His Word is sufficient. Stop adding things to it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know this video is controversial, but my prayer is that you watch with an open mind and an open heart and that the Holy Spirit moves you to repentance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Our hearts are deceiving, and desperately sick. Who can understand it?” Jeremiah 17:9
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.” Ephesians 4:14

RussiaGate is now a complete dead letter — but ObamaGate is taking its place. Just how far did the then-president go to cripple his successor? -- It’s now clear the Obama-Comey FBI and Justice Department never had anything more substantial than the laughable fiction of the Steele dossier to justify the “counterintelligence” investigation of the Trump campaign. Yet incessant leaks from that supposedly confidential probe wound up consuming the Trump administration’s first months in office — followed by the Bob Mueller-led special counsel investigation that proved nearly the “total witch hunt” that President Trump dubbed it.

Information released as the Justice Department dropped its charges against Gen. Mike Flynn shows that President Barack Obama, in his final days in office, played a key role in fanning the flames of phony scandal. Fully briefed on the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, he knew the FBI had come up with nothing despite months of work starting in July 2016.

Yet on Jan. 5, 2017, Obama told top officials who’d be staying on in the new administration to keep the crucial facts from Team Trump.

It happened at an Oval Office meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, intel chiefs John Brennan and Jim Clapper and national security adviser Susan Rice, as well as FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.

“From a national-security perspective,” Rice’s memo afterward put it, “President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”

Obama meeting could be behind corrupt Michael Flynn probe -- This even as then-President Obama also directed that as many people as possible across his administration be briefed on the (utterly unsubstantiated) allegations against Team Trump — and as Rice and others took unprecedented steps to “unmask” US citizens like Flynn whose conversations had been caught on federal wiretaps of foreigners.

Indeed, the Obama administration went on a full-scale leak offensive — handing the Washington Post, New York Times and others a nonstop torrent of “anonymous” allegations of Trumpite ties to Moscow. It suggested that the investigations were finding a ton of treasonous dirt on Team Trump — when in fact the investigators had come up dry.
Sadly, Comey’s FBI played along — sandbagging Flynn with the “friendly” interview that later became the pretext for the bogus charges dropped last week, as well as triggering the White House chaos that led to his ouster. This when the FBI had already gone over the general with a fine-tooth comb, and concluded that, no, he’d done nothing like collude with the Russians.

Meanwhile, Comey himself gave Trump an intentionally misleading briefing on the Steele dossier. That was followed by leaks that suggested the dossier was the tip of an iceberg, rather than a pack of innuendo that hadn’t at all checked out under FBI scrutiny.
Pulitzer Prizes were won for blaring utter fiction; the Trump administration was kneecapped out of the gate. Innocents like Flynn were bankrupted along the way.
Say this about Obama: He knows how to play dirty.

Hello, I am Jim Hughes, Warrior for Christ, Mended Heart Survivor, former Elected Official and currently a System Engineering Director and PC Gamer. Thank you for taking a moment to meet me here online.

Born in rural NW Wisconsin, grew up on our family dairy farm until around 11 years old. I then started a Fuller Brush Sales Area, later around 12 years old became a Watkins Dealer, to be followed by other sales and financial roles which lead in my late teens to expanding into bovine genetics, insurance intermediary, and then on to become Technology Business Owner in the mid-late 1980's.

Just before meeting my wonderful wife Sue of whom I married nearly 30 years ago, I started into the Technology Sector opening my own Computer Stores. Today our family is 6 kids and 9 grand kids blessed.

Through-out this experience I have been awarded several industry awards and achieved a great amount of higher education -- from Lantastic Technician, to Windows Programming Expert, to A+ technician, to MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer), and then RHCE Training (Linux Engineer) with other varying degrees/certifications from Microsoft Office to TCP/IP Engineer to Digital PBX , in all, nearly 25 years of higher learning.

In the mid-late 1990’s I moved to the Chicago land area with the world’s 3rd largest computer distributor and largest white-box manufacturer in the world. In the late 90’s I accepted a position as Product Engineer with a local Chicago Land White-Box computer builder, while there as lead Product Engineer we developed the world’s first AMD Athlon 64-bit desktop computer for AMD. The system design was the world’s fastest desktop computer (at that time) and became highly awarded including editor’s choice of the year.

In 2004 founded as the Senior member (partner), Chief Executive Officer, and Product Development Director CitrusMicro.com. We grew to be North America’s largest Hospitality wholesale distributor and largest ViewEra (high performance and security) Monitor distributor in the World.

In 2009 started doing Community Service serving on the Winfield, IL Riverwalk committee -- 2011 ran for public office, server as Winfield Trustee 2011 to 2015 -- Today I am Deacon, Systems Engineering Director, and PC Gamer.

I believe deeply in the power of positive thinking and the choices we make in our lives along with attitude decisions we each choose to be -- Very driven and realize that life is an ever-ending education of new knowledge and how important it is to listen well while keeping an open mind.
