People are Lining Up to Work in the White House

President Trump was asked to comment on the exit of his Communications Adviser Hope Hicks and how his Administration had a lot of vacancies and how would they be filled. 

Fortunately, for Trump a lot of the vacancies were made up positions so they don't really need to be filled. 

So, now that the Administration is without Hope, how will they cope.  Hope Hicks actually had the most seniority with Trump.   Yes, a 29 year old with very little experience was the most senior Trump advisor.  Her experience seemed to be that she was a teenage model and a friend of Ivanka Trump.  Also, if her job was Communications Adviser to Trump, she was not effective. 

Trump responded to questions about numerous vacancies was to say that his was the greatest Presidency of all time and people were lining up to work at the White House.

Yes, this was Trumps actual response and not Alec Baldwin playing Trump on SNL. 

Moments after he made these comments, his top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, resigned.  This resignation is actually significant because Cohn was the actual real deal.  He is well educated and he has had significant success on Wall Street and is very well respected in the economic circles.  He was also a strong proponent of NAFTA so his departure is very worrisome to Canadians.  Also, he was trying to convince Trump to back off on tariffs on aluminum and steel.  Another worrisome issue for Canadians. 

There is no way to spin this positively.  This resignation is a serious blow to the Trump Administration. 

However, Trump is right.  People are lining up to work in the White House, but it is not because he has the greatest Presidency ever.  It is because it is the dream of many young men and women to work in the White House.  They dream that they want to help people. 

However, at this point, we can probably deduce some incite into the people who are lining up to work.  They are probably 20 something with little education and experience other than modelling or being a friend of a Trump.  The Administration may have lost Hope but there are likely more Hopes out there who will fill positions they are not qualified for. 

It seems like the whole country may be losing Hope.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but those signs didn'

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just wants an opportunity to explain herself fully. That

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second picture is just a shot of all the green space al
