TEAMBLOG

Dear Friends,

It was over 30 years ago that my business partner at the time and I started our company - MONEYTEAM. He chose MONEY for the first name of the company and I chose TEAM. If you knew me well, you would instinctively recognize my devotion in relationships where everyone involved works together to accomplish a specific goal. I've always considered myself as a TEAM PLAYER when a major objective must be achieved in order to reach the results required for success. This is the backdrop in how I determine and/or discern the daily press briefings in which the Coronavirus Task Force that includes the President, Vice President, Health Officials and numerous government staff members are involved - in doing their best to end the spread of the Coronavirus in this country. Notwithstanding, the inclusion and the participation of the private sector by assisting the nation in manufacturing face masks, hospital ventilators and medical supplies, is just one of various magnanimous actions that America is being 'renewed' by the spirit of patriotism - in which we love our neighbors as ourselves.

I've always been fascinated with American history. During World War II, this nation was profoundly united in efforts to defeat Germany and their allies. The sacrifice of young men in combat and women in production lines was a reality. An impressive group of women were employed to manufacture artillery and supplies for the war effort. This was a true display of TEAMWORK that has enlightened their benevolence as 'The Greatest Generation' in American history. The steadfast passion and camaraderie to destroy the despotism that began in Germany, was the ammunition this generation of Americans understood as the basis to defeat the scourge of genocide. The Holocaust ended, when this nation and its allies confronted this evil by working in harmony for its destruction.

The POLITICAL War

Since World War II, this nation has been involved in several conflicts in attempts to push back the rise of Communism or oppressive power of governments, by their hostile transgressions of the innocent in their societies. It was in 1939 that Germany began its desire for World dominance. Its ally Japan, determined America's involvement in the War by the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 - 'a date which will live in infamy'. These were the words the 32nd US President used to describe the attack the following day before both chambers of Congress. After the conclusion of his speech, a bipartisan Congress declared War against Japan.

Almost 79 years later, America is involved in a war, whereby our enemy is the Coronavirus, also referred to as COVID 19. In this 'invisible war', it is troublesome to note there are entities in this country that lack the basic understanding of patriotism or TEAMWORK in overpowering an enemy that has caused the deaths of many Americans by a pandemic that originated in Communist China.

This disease has become political, as the President's opposition party, the media and meanspirited leftist supporters have utilized their contempt on those seeking to end this outbreak by a constant stream of vicious attacks. When you have the Speaker of the House mention 'as the President fiddles, people are dying' or a television news anchor questioning the former Vice President if the Chief Executive has 'blood on his hands', or the suggestion that daily press briefings of the Coronavirus Task Force must not be aired on television due to the President's involvement by a leftist cable station, this minority of disconcerting Americans must never be compared to the heroes of 'The Greatest Generation' under any circumstances.

I am not a registered Republican nor Democrat. As an Independent I am confident that I have the capacity of judgment to view both sides of an argument. To politicize the pain and suffering many Americas are going through today is a disgrace. This nation must work together to combat this pandemic.

 Incidentally, our fundamental rights under the Constitution are under scrutiny. There are those in this country eager to deny or disparage the fundamental rights of Americans by taking advantage of the trauma that has descended this great nation. During the next few months, Americans that truly love this country will rise to the occasion and defeat this 'invisible enemy' and the leftist cabal lurking to destroy this country from within. Our Dear Lord is in control - and He will reward Americans willing to fight for our lives.

Thanks again for your continuous support.

Dear Friends,

The Coronavirus has prevented numerous Christians in America from attending church services in their communities. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles where I live, has pronounced the closing of its churches until the pandemic in the area has been contained. The inability to attend mass and receive Communion has saddened numerous parishioners, as God's spiritual presence is found and augmented by the celebration of the liturgy. 

Just the other day the President mentioned his desire for the nation to begin the process in going back to work by Easter Sunday, April 12th if at all possible. I was taken aback as I heard this, as I pondered similar thoughts the weekend before his pronouncement. Many Americans believe there are factors within the soul of this nation, that will elevate our prayers and energize our economy once again. While there are others throughout the country that have scolded the President for his encouraging words, the 'false hope' tribe of disillusionment will never overcome the natural positive aspects of discerning Americans. 

Americans must exercise caution during this pandemic, as we must rely on each other to keep our families and the entire nation safe. The best remedies for our survival is to follow government recommendations to halt the spreading of the virus in our communities. Here in California, residents must stay home at all times but can leave the premises for vital errands such as purchasing groceries, visiting a pharmacy or arranging bank transactions among other responsibilities.

While 'cautious optimism' can be considered an expression worthy of an oxymoron, one's faith will always see us through times of adversity. If Our Dear Lord acknowledges our prayers by removing the pain and suffering we've encountered, America will know that our prayers have been answered. America's Resurrection will begin in earnest this coming Passover and Easter, as we celebrate the gradual ending of this crisis.

For many years on a weekly basis, I have listened intently to the sermons given by Dr. Charles Stanley of In Touch Ministries located in Atlanta. Charles has words of wisdom in regards to the torment America and the entire globe are undergoing by the Coronavirus outbreak. His words of comfort on video are noted below.

America's Resurrection is forthcoming!

Thanks again for your continuous support.

Dear Friends,

It will be 222 days until the General Election that will occur on November 3rd, 2020. As of today, the political landscape has changed in which the former Vice President is the odds on favorite to be the Democratic Presidential nominee to run against the incumbent. JOE has amassed a good number of delegates over BERNIE the Senator of Vermont. JOE'S nomination is assured, as a majority of 'established' Democratic Party members known as 'Super Delegates', will support his installment as the party's standard bearer, presumably without hesitation.

Since JOE began his campaign for President, the entire country has noticed his inability under many occasions to express himself in a logical, focused and rational manner. This mental affliction disturbs many Americans, as the responsibilities of the Chief Executive are overwhelming, as decisions are made that can change the lives of its citizens. As an Independent 'swing voter' I am gravely concerned that JOE is unable to carry out the duties a President must undertake 'to serve, protect and defend' the Constitution and the nation during his time in office if he is to become President. 

BERNIE was defeated in many of the primaries due to his views that reflect ideologies similar in scope to Socialism or outright Communism. The voters decided to choose JOE, as he is considered a 'moderate' even though his views reflect basic allegiances towards policies that foster Socialism in resolving various national problems.

 Americans are suffering the effects of the Coronavirus. As required, JOE in my humble opinion, has not provided the confidence, influence nor the advice a gentleman of his importance must fulfill, in order to garner the credibility of the American public. Notwithstanding, JOE has been in isolation recently, and his latest attempt to speak publicly was perplexing.

The American people insist on a Chief Executive that has an aggressive energy to confront foreign or domestic conflicts that are encountered on any given day. In all sincerity, this post is not to disparage the former Vice President. The American people question those that have allowed him to pursue a monumental position with the highest amount of stress, knowing full well of his affliction and future repercussions if elected.

 In 222 days, America will decide on a Democratic or Republican government and its Leader - that has the power in assisting our lives by enabling the peace of mind we all seek.

 An update will be posted in 111 days.

Thanks again for your continuous support.

Dear Friends,

Yesterday officially began the Season of Spring. Many of us may not have noticed, as the Coronavirus outbreak has 'taken all the oxygen out of the room' in where we live. Here in California, the stress and anxiety many of its residents are facing has intensified, as the Governor of the State has mandated that 40 Million of its citizens must stay home. To prevent the outbreak of the virus from spreading, this executive order is a recurring reminder that our lives face a tremendous disruption that will affect our ability to engage in activities that highlights one's gregarious personality.

Notwithstanding, the abrupt immersion of this order to live a semi monastic life, has factors that can quiet the storm by its capacity to guide our path through meditation, contemplation and solitude. The circumstances that have occurred are profound, as we can utilize this time in our lives by restoring the substance of our characters that have been dormant or under siege for a long period of time. The world moves quickly and does not offer most of us a scheduled time for reflection. While our lives will rapidly change by an unplanned sacrifice such as this, one will also be exposed to external events that has the capacity to ironically improve the quality of life, if understood correctly.

Parents will know their children better. Hopefully, animosities one may have for others can be forgiven as the precious meaning of life is embraced. The overwhelming power of prayer will resuscitate our disposition for kindness, as we are genuinely concerned for the health and wellbeing of our family, friends, neighbors, America and the world. Even though mortality is an occurrence that never ends, the Coronavirus pandemic will remind us that 'Life Is Worth Living'. I am of the humble opinion this entire virus situation that's facing the world and its remedies by staying home or social distancing, is just a chapter of our lives that has been predetermined by Providence. There's a reason mankind must go through this experience. The Coronavirus began in China under scurrilous moral infractions by Communist Government authorities, in misleading the world of the outbreak that has spread the virus throughout the globe. The coverup has tormented everyone on all continents by the rise in infections and deaths. There will be a providential reckoning for disconcerting decisions that allowed this pandemic to spread.

On a spiritual level, the entire world will come to a realization that we must overcome evil wherever the contempt for the human condition is discovered. I am not a Pastor, but my faith has invoked a pronounced revelation that our lives are determined by the love and compassion we have for everyone we encounter. Our Dear Lord in His infinite wisdom, views our lives 'from a distance'. For the Coronavirus attack to dominate as the Spring Season begins, is a sign that our purpose in life and our destiny will be revealed and bloom under the most difficult circumstances. Our Almighty God is in control. Be positive, pray and reinvigorate your life by the love you can give.

Thanks again for your continuous support.

Dear Friends,

The Coronavirus outbreak has given America the time to look at business relationships this nation has with Communist China. I have written about this situation in a previous post and the BUY AMERICAN logo has been displayed on the MONEYTEAMUSA opening page on its website for many years. In life we are confronted with challenges that are self inflicted or changing circumstances provide evidence of dishonest dealings that are disclosed on a gradual basis. When America depends on critical supplies purchased from Chinese manufacturers that would protect the public from the virus contagion, our democratic independence is compromised. It is my understanding pharmaceuticals, face masks, hospital ventilators and other commodities are now prevented from reaching American companies that have entered agreements with China for these products. This control in abandoning agreements that would allow the supply chain to reach America during the health crisis, provides this nation and the world an abrupt realization of the dehumanizing effects in which Communism is heralded. An overwhelming monopoly of antibiotics, penicillin and vitamin supplements are manufactured in China. America has become dependent on China for its survival, as this nation has forfeited its capacity to formulate the ingredients prescribed in medicine. The Coronavirus has reestablished a simple message understood throughout history - never trust a Communist.

The entire world knows full well the Coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China. For questionable journalists or reporters to mention that in telling the truth about this fact is a form of racism, is an attempt to obfuscate logic and/or common sense. The problem of leftist dogma is the lack of integrity when the truth is revealed. Their autocratic beliefs destroys the values and tenets of journalism. This world wide pandemic would not have occurred, if the Chinese Communist Government allowed the truth of the outbreak to be immediately disclosed once it was known - in order for the virus to be contained. The entire world is now suffering the consequences.

My beloved parents came to America in 1966 from Communist Cuba without a dime. My father was so appreciative of the sincerity and good wishes bestowed on our family by Americans, he insisted on purchasing products - made in America. His wise counsel has also motivated my convictions throughout life - as I will always do my best to purchase products made in the US.

America is now considered energy independent, as this country no longer needs to purchase oil from hostile foreign nations that have contempt for our interests. This new reality is encouraging, as my father's wise convictions many years ago, has come to fruition

The next time you are at a department store, check the label to see the country of origin. If it's from _________, your intuition and intelligence will guide you on what to do next.
