Trump's arguments against the honest outcome of the election,

I rarely write political posts, but the theme of the closing Trump arguments makes me have to say something. Their threat to cause, to allow, their party to undermine the results of the election is appalling. They think it is alright to undermine the results of this Presidential Election. They are threatening to ruin a perfectly honest election because they don't like the results.

We are not going to allow this to happen.

We will take all necessary action to keep this election on the up and up.

The Voter Fraud claims by Trump are not true. There is very little, to none, voter fraud in this election. Although the Claims of Voter Fraud are loud and repeated often, they are not true. What is true is that Trump's call for checking for voter fraud is frightening enough, but his claims are not true.

What I see and hear from Trump's calling for an investigation into Voter Fraud is the cries of a sore loser. It is the cries of a man that sees that he cannot beat Hillary, so he claims foul and tries to muddy up the Voting records.

For those of you, who would like to know where Donald Trump received his penchant for touching lady's crotches, read the following:

 In the 1850’s Trump’s grandfather landed in New York at age sixteen from Kallstadt Germany. After an unsuccessful stint as a barber, he decided to head west where the population from the gold rush was collecting like flies. Since the DRUMPF’S alias Trumps never liked to get their hands dirty Grandpa, and his partner Ernest Levin opened a frontier transit establishment called “THE ARTIC."  This cozy establishment provided 24-hour food, booze, and sex for the miners.  For anyone willing to pay in gold dust, a bed and a scale were provided.

Bad news: After two years, the business flopped when the railroad established a direct link between the Yukon coast and the mining town.  A transit stop was no longer needed to warm up the miners with sex and booze before they started digging. They could now, get off a boat and get on a train to where the action was.    

Good News: Grandpa Trump counted his share from the profits to the tune of three-quarters of a million dollars in today's'’ money, said good-bye to his partner, and quietly slipped out of town. He decided to go back to his hometown in Germany but for some unknown reason, he was denied German citizenship. So he decided to go back to New York to try  his hand in real estate.

Hopefully, this little tale will give you an insight into the genetic makeup of Donald Trump’s penchant for touching lady's crotches.

P.S. I wonder whatever happened to his partner Ernst Levin. Ya think grandpa stole his share of the money when he skipped town…….

Wi-Fi in Century Village.

So the knowledgeable one says on our Wi-Fi system that whenever everybody is watching a streaming movie, all at the same time. the system will fail.

Wrong.

In the first place, he does not know how much reserve we have in our system, And he does not, or refuses to acknowledge,  the fact that we can increase the download speed by paying a little more. Where does Israel get off telling us this system is inadequate now and in the future and will not, and cannot meet our needs. Let's start off with the fact that the supplier of the Wi-Fi is provided by Comcast. And the contract we have will provide us with what we want and if our needs change, Comcast will adjust accordingly.

Where does Israel get the idea that Comcast is in business to have unhappy customers?

Wrong again.

He just cannot stand being told that he is wrong.

And he is!!

The price for the Unit Owner will be about $1,000,000.(thats a Million Dollars, American)

There is an issue arising at UCO and WPRF. The issue is or should be of interest to all unit owners. The issue is about, what else? about money, specifically your money.

Here is the story.

The Air Condition system at the Clubhouse has completely failed. This is a major deal and as such is a capital expense. As such the responsibility to get it replaced belongs with WPRF. Repair is out of the question. The AC is to far gone for that. The people that should see that this expense is paid for by WPRF is UCO, specifically the President of UCO.

But he is abrogating his responsibility, as usual. He has decided that the cost of the replacement of the defunct AC system belongs to the unit owners and should be called a repair.

This is wrong. The complete replacement of the AC system belongs to WPRF and is a Capital improvement and as such should be paid for by WPRF.  It is the responsibility of the UCO President to see that this is done. IF not then he should turn it over to legal.

But no, David Israel considers this is a correct charge to the Unit Holders. I will never understand where this comes from or why. The millennium agreement calls for the repair cost to the Unit Holders and  replacement, which is capital improvements to WPRF.

So what is the problem here? This is unquestionably a Capital improvement.

Why is the President of the CV always on the side of the big money and is OK with the unit holders holding the bag.

Sly movements

What is going on with all these joint meetings?

Do we not have enough committee Volunteers?

Is it possible that some of the Committees members are not following Israel's commands and  therefore he is trying to lessen their effect, by lessening the number of people able to vote against his demands? Could this be another sly ploy by the great one to control the output of these Committees?

Is he sly enough to bring this off?

Are we dumb enough to allow it ?

Extricating oneself from self made lies.

I never wanted to be involved with a reality show. I never wanted to be involved with a reality show that was about Donald Trump's narcissist self, see the 3rd debate,

If I was given a choice, which I wasn't, I would elect to pass on Trumps Reality show.

I have heard enough of the lies that say that all Mexicans are Rapists, that Hillary should be locked up for Criminal behavior, that nowhere are the lies, that are promulgated by D.Trump, are they announced as being lies, unfair and unjust.

So it seems to me that the farther down that Trump falls, the more he lies, the bigger the lies, the more he tries to extricate himself from his self-made entanglements.

He can not.

Just what lies are e talking about? Well, you can bet your bippy that it is not about JTT.But it is.

Here is my short list.

1. That the shooting attempt at the Synagogue did not happen.

2. That the Broadband plan promulgated by Israel is good for the Village.

3. That David Israel does not see enemies at every corner.

4. That the Administration of CVWPB is a friendly place, peopled by friendly people.

5. That the money being raised for the Roads, Clubhouse AC and Lifts for Hasting will not be a raise in our payments.

6. The Administrations plan for Broadband is better than anything that is currently under consideration.

I could go on and on with this list, but suffice it to say that I have touched on the high points.  At least those points that will cost us the most money.

Israel's hurtful atitude

Thinking about David Israel and his attitude, specifically his attitude about what he can do and what he can get away with.

So now I am talking about his attitude concerning his over-riding the will of the Delegate Assembly. We say no and he says Yes. We, the Delegate Assembly say no to his Broadband effort, but he goes on anyway. He wants a Village-wide Broadband even though we have a perfectly good plan for Broadband and it will save us lots of money.

If you listen to him you will hear him knock the Association Broadband says that it cannot work, it is. They, the contractor, will not support this, they are.

His attitude is that he wants to install his idea of a Broadband system that will make him famous. He wants this to be his legacy. Forget the cost to the village. Forget the Village needs.

I don't think he should be allowed to get away with this.


This Election is NOT Rigged.

So, why do you think that the big guns, Ryan and McConnell will not say what they think about Trump? To what I see they want to win the election so badly that they are willing to let the Republican party get behind the lies that Donald Trump keeps promulgating. They seem to want the election so badly that they are willing to allow Trump to say whatever he wants, just so they can get a piece of the election. Even it hurts the country.

It seems to me that backing Trump in all of his wild sayings. In his insisting that the election is rigged, is forgetting about the welfare of this country.

He started with this when it became obvious that he was going to lose. The bigger the loss the louder he yelled rigged.

The Election is not rigged as a matter of fact it cannot be rigged. The election is run as a grass root effort. It is run with the idea that the election is run by controlling it from the bottom. That is to say, the Election is controlled from the bottom up. No rigging possible.

Donald Trump lies.

He has already given up on this election. Now all he can do is lie and hope. He has given up on his chances and is proceeding to cause as much trouble to our Country as he can.

They are at it again!!

The Broadband committee is meeting or has met to interview another Broadband supplier. In the meantime, the local associations broadband keeps trucking along. Working nicely with none of the dire things happening that David Israel has promised. It keeps working nicely and the cost is about $5 per month per unit.

It seems to me that bad mouthing our available broadband that about 60 Associations have set up and are happily using is (with no complaints) should end the discussion.

But it does not, and Israel keeps interviewing prospective suppliers and keeps asking questions as though this was a possibility.

It is not.  

Where does he get off saying that this Broadband that so many Associations are using, and using successfully, will not work?

The price is right, the supplier is big enough (Comcast) to meet and handle any problems that may turn up, So far there have been no problems.

Yom Kippur wishes

Friends,

Tonight, thousands of Jews throughout the World will begin the observance of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, is an opportunity for Jews to reflect on the past year, on mistakes they have made, and to ask for forgiveness for those wrongdoings as they look ahead to the new year -- a practice that all jews should learn from.

I wish all those who are observing an easy fast and a day full of meaningful reflections.

G'mar Hatima Tova and may all have health and happiness in the New Year.

Gerald Karpf has passed

Jerry Karpf has passed. His body was found near the lake, near his unit. Jerry was a friend. He was the President of the Presidents club. He has been very active in the Delegate Assembly.

He will be missed.

Bravo Ed.

Talk about doing the right thing. Our President, the President of Wellington A, was wandering about the Property just before and during the Hurricane. He was looking for trouble and he found it. At least he found my bike, left out in the storm and locked to the rack. He asked if he could stow it safely. And once permission was granted he moved it into the laundry room, and at the storms end, he put it back into the rack.

I think that is service above and beyond.

Bravo Ed.

Our Security and bad storms.

So,what has happened with the need for security during a bad storm?  How about the need for Security during the arrival of a Hurricane? Our entrance gates were left wide open during the arrival of Matthew and beyond. Don't we have an agreement about this
occurrence? We should!

Security and Century Village.

So, what is all the hoopla about Century Village and Wi-Fi?The Delegates have turned it down a number of times, at a Formal Delegate Assembly Vote. But Mr.Israel keeps pushing it forward. What is it about No that Dave Israel does not understand? We have voted on this at least 2 times already, maybe 3 times and he still keeps pushing it.

50 or 60 Associations have already gone to the private contract to get the Association it's own Wi-Fi the price is about $5 per unit per month. A lot better than the $30-$40 per month per unit that Israel would have to charge.

If you attend some of the Committee meetings you will hear Israel making up lies as to why the Association Wi-Fi will not work, can not work. But the fact of the matter is that it does work, it is provided by Comcast.

So, what happened at the Hurricane's arrival and the CV security? During the arrival of the Hurricane, the Guard gates at the entrances were empty. The guards went home I guess. Where would we be if the Cops or the Firemen decided to go home due to the arrival of a Florida Hurricane?
This is not good! It is probably not allowed by contract.

Air Condition Dreams

                         Twenty grand,,,, No sweat !

During the contemplations by the Operations Committee, the replacement of  lights for the clubhouse theater, with a price tag of some twenty grand  was another hot topic. I guess some of the performers complained that the burning hot lights  were causing them to sweat profusely, hampering their performances. Some of the gals on the committee said that no one wants to see a sweaty performer crooning under the hot lights., Come on girls ! Tell the truth and shame the devil . A sweating hunk of burning love gallivanting around would be a good draw and you might even be able to sell a few more tickets if we booked a sweaty He-man as an attraction. Some of the committee expressed concern about  lagging ticket sales at the theater,  So here's a suggestion that makes sense if you think about it :  Fix the Air conditioning.

NOTICE TO CONDO ASSOCIATIONS WITH GAS GRILLS.

According to a spokesperson at the fire Department, before a hurricane, propane gas tanks must be stored separately from gas grills.  If your association has a gas grill, disconnect the tank from the grill and store it in a separate place.

Don't get hung for a dog !           
WPRF is  taking on  security at the clubhouse and rec. facilities and UCO is getting some money  deducted from what we already pay for that part of the security contract There's no saving for Cv'ers there .  Why security needs to be split into two separate contracts, one for WPRF and one for the rest of the village is beyond us.
Now when there's a security snafu, the two companies can blame each other for it.
                The committee was asked for $453.000.00 for the deal , But someone  tried to sneak in the cost for an extra car with a price tag of $16,000.00. This car would be specifically charged with patrolling the pools, checking everyone's id cards, and writing reports about people breaking the rules. You know;: people drinking lemonade or wearing skimpy bathing suits or whatever. It is a real problem. Sometimes people who aren't supposed to be there actually crash the pools and suck up all the water.
                Barbara Cornish objected to buying  another car as the committee previously agreed to turning over the security of the facilities to WPRF on a dollar for dollar basis.  She reminded the committee about the previous agreement that did not include another car, and objected to coughing up the $16,000.00 that WPRF wanted to buy it.Then someone on the committee suggested that the security officers could be supplied with a $9,000.00 golf cart, with headlights so the officers could patrol at night. Why would the golf carts need headlights anyway? No one uses the pools after dark do they ? Someone else thought that it might not be nice for the security officers to be riding around in a golf cart exposed to bad weather. Bad weather ? This is South Florida. what bad weather are they talking about. ? A bit of rain maybe? Heck. let's keep the sixteen grand and get them some bicycles and  raincoats. . That idea got a big PFFT from the rest of the committee and the idea of buying another car hit the skids, saving us the sixteen grand they wanted.
               It's a good thing Barbara caught it because it flew over the heads of the rest of the committee.Who were distracted and were excitedly rustling their papers in the thrilling anticipation of participating in another spending spree.
                Ed Black was quick to quote the previously agreed  figure after Barbara raised the alarm.  Then David Israel chimed in once the cat was out of the bag and decried purchasing another vehicle.I wonder why neither Israel or Black said a word about it until Barbara complained. Maybe they need another car to go get snacks for the volunteers at UCO.  or something. That errand could be accomplished just as easily with a golf cart too !
               They really showed they don't have a lot of moxy in asking for 16 grand for a car. I mean if you're going to try to put one over on the committee you might as well go with some gusto. 100 grand for a nice new sleek Mercedes would be more like it.  You can't buy much of a car for 16 grand,  Why get hung for a dog when you could get hung for a horse?

David Israel's WI-Fl plan puts his hands deeper into your pockets.

Despite clear evidence of overwhelming opposition, David Israel is forging ahead with plans to initiate broadband WI-Fl service in the village. The new plans outlined at a committee meeting calls for increased rates for a package of     internet or telephone   and cable T.V. services.
Atlantic Broadband representatives were queried at the meeting about the scope and the costs of the proposed project. It is clear that an original proposal included the ability to choose TV itself or additional services for each individual association. Those choices were withdrawn because of David’s passion to Wi-Fi the village despite not having the authority as is clearly stated in the bi-lateral agreement. The issue of universal Wi-Fi has been turned down several times by the delegates. In actual fact, it is not up to the delegates as a group to approve universal Wi-F. It falls to each individual owner because of our core documents. A recent Florida case underscores that fact.     A recording of the meeting can be heard by opening our website (www.centuryvillagemessengerclub.com) and clicking on the audio player in the top right corner of the homepage.

Our calculations based on figures presented by Atlantic Broadband reps proposes an additional cost of $25.00 a month per unit over and above the $33.00 fee we pay now for cable TV service. Doing the math puts the total additional cost of the ten-year contract at around $24,000,000.00.
That’s a princely sum of money to lay out for a service that   most residents don't want , and it's a bit disconcerting that David Israel would entertain any idea of initiating WI-Fl or broadband or anything else with an enormous outlay of money without a  legal authority to do so while  subjecting UCO to a possible lawsuit.
An article explaining the plan is published in the latest edition of the CV MESSENGER which is posted on our website.
Opposition for the plan comes from among others the many snowbirds who are opposed to paying extra fees every month for a service they will use only for the few months they are in residence. Then there is the residents who will be compelled to pay but don't own computers, don't know how to use the internet and show little if any interest in it.
Notices that Broadband committee meetings are being cancelled for one reason or another are posted with a not too surprising frequency. Without committee meetings plans are being formulated in the dark with little or no input from residents.
Standing back and allowing David Israel to continue in his crusade for WI-Fl can only lead to higher monthly fees attached to each and every condo in Century Village. Rosy predictions that condo prices will be enhanced by the addition of WI-Fl don't add up when one considers that one of the first things prospective buyers investigate is the cost of monthly fees they will be taking on with the purchase of an unit.
HIGHER CONDO FEES = LOWER PURCHASE APPEAL.
Some associations in Century Village have already installed WI Fl in their buildings at an average cost of $5.00 a month per unit and are not tied into a ten-year contract. Many other Associations have opted out based on prior failed efforts to force this folly upon the village. Many other unit holders are   experiencing difficult financial times and paying for a frill they do not want is a nonsense.     Compared to the $25.00 a unit proposed by David Israel's plans it's not hard to see the fallacy of Israel’s plans
The bottom line is that David Israel has no authority to negotiate a contract. His plan takes away any choice you may have in choosing service, and the increases in fees will be mandatory and universal.
