On the Eve of the W-End: On Community Spirit, the Art of the Possible & Muhammad Ali.....

It is "officially" summer for me as School has ended.   I will be again on the road Saturday on Community Initiatives.

It was quite a week as I was witness to Democracy in Action and the spirit of the Community in action as selfless souls came together to help with the Aliso Niguel High School Graduation Night.    Selfless souls came together starting at 7:30 PM to check over 300 newly minted graduates as they spent graduation night at Dave & Busters playing the night away!!  

As I saw the selfless acts of the dedicated souls, it reminded me of this thought from the great Rumi:



I saw that this week in how all the election Volunteers, the School Volunteers and all others who do such fabulous work make America great as it is.       They do plant the seeds of compassion and love beyond what I can ever imagine.

As I continued supporting the work of #outsiders as well through the daily curation on the Social Grid and helped with the Friday Musical Interlude,  this featured on the Interlude today is something that truly inspired me:

Billy Crystal's Muhammad Ali tribute - 15 Rounds (1979) from Face Productions on Vimeo.

This is as I listened to this moving speech he gave:

Anything is possible!!

Onward to the Weekend.....

View of the Week: Jon Stewart Talks w/ David Axelord

I have been working away on projects as I picked this up which blew me away.    How he is ever so missed!!

On the Prowl : Personal Thoughts On the #USElections re: @HillaryClinton, @realDonaldTrump & @POTUS....

I had the pleasure to once again serve as an Elections Coordinator for Orange County.  It was fun to be witness to Democracy in Action.   The spirit of volunteerism that I saw left me yet ever so hopeful as we in the United States begin the election season.

On the political front,  It has been quite a week in the United States as Hillary Clinton has secured for all intent and purpose the Democratic Nomination For President.   She spoke about this Tuesday night:

This came out to supporters as she geared up to take on Trump and she gears up for her search for a running mate: 


As the General Elections Campaign is taking shape, this from Priorities USA started hitting the airwaves:

& this came out from the New York Times:





As I was working away,  I saw Senator Sanders speaking after a meeting at the White House with the President.      He said that he would everything in his power to make sure Donald Trump is not elected President of the United States and looked forward to working closely with Secretary Clinton.   This is as the Conservative Establishment has been busy trying to make sure that Trump is "Tamed":

Crooked Hillary Clinton will be a disaster on jobs, the economy, trade, healthcare, the military, guns and just about all else. Obama plus!

With the power of the President and the Vice President, the expected support of Bernie Sanders and his movement he represents, Hillary Clinton will have the wind at his back as he looks to the General Election.   The people over at Fox continue to believe that Trump will be "formidable" as he adopts a more Presidential tone.      The Vox' Matthew Ygelasis was very perceptive in how Clinton will win.   This just hit the airwaves--and to me this is clear--not withstanding any unforeseen calamity, Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States:
