Hello everyone,
If you haven't noticed by now, the name of the blog has changed. It now reads 'Trevor for President and King....of Pumpkin Rolls'.
The main reason for the change is that I have recently decided to extend my military contract through 2017. With that end, I will not be able to make the primaries and run for President of the United States in 2016.
I do make a mean pumpkin roll and will occasionally post photos of my new flavors but this blog will not lose it's focus entirely. I will post relevant election news and links. Some times I will just post my thoughts. I will not berate my Commander In Chief, regardless of who they are. That will not stop me from letting you know how I feel about certain candidates.
Maybe in 2017 I will yet re-name the blog to reflect a run for President in 2020. Anything is possible. I hope you stay along for the ride.
Thank you much.

May have to call it a day
Hello All,
I read yesterday that President Obama traveled to Israel for the first time recently. To reassure them that we were steadfast Allies.
I admit I am now confused. We give Israel tons of cash and weapons, and will look the other way ( if and when ) they bomb Iran, Syria, Lebanon or any host of Muslim countries. We also give many of the other listed countries boatloads of cash too. My thoughts, using the theorem that (giving countries tons of money = Ally) is that our President should be visiting Syria, Lebanon and Pakistan ( to name a few ).
I may just call it a day and forget that I started thinking that I could possibly change folks thoughts as to what their government does...and where the money goes ( Said money being yours and my tax dollars ). I posted last year that I would cease using the public's money for political posturing up to and including the pretense that your money is safeguarding America. Maybe Americans like it that way. Same as a new proposed gas tax.
Perchance I should ( if I can ) re-name this blog from "Trevor for President in 2016" to "Trevor the American Pumpkin Roll King".
Too early as of today to definitively say that "I am done". I don't ask for revolt or rioting, but when most ( the 99% ) sit back and take it in the.....well, you get the picture. Dis-heartening to say the least.
I can guarantee that if I visited ALL the countries that the US gives a boatload of money too annually , I would visit EACH ONE only long enough to say " It's over, make your own money " and "Goodbye".
Have a good weekend all. Peace out.

Campaign Financing 2013
Hello all,
Not going to bash Super Pacs again...or those particular candidates that have an endless river of cash with which to use for their campaigns. What have I? Barring another Power Ball loss, I have a home, a loving wife and some Boxers that will bat their eyes and be sweet one minute, or eat the food out of our bowls while we are busy for mere moments in another room.
I also have a passion for pastries. Not just any pastries. Pumpkin Rolls. Not just eating them....making them too. What follows is a shameless plug for my fledgling business, Trevor's Twisted Pumpkin Rolls. Why are they twisted? Well, specifically, they aren't. It's all about the flavor. Currently, I have 13 flavors of Pumpkin Roll. Chocolate Raspberry, Rocky Road, Blueberry and the Baconator to name a few.
I am hoping to garner enough support and find folks that really like something different. I have been selling them locally and hope to have my license soon ( business license that is ).
So. Here is a link to my Pumpkin Roll Page. If you like them, stop in and like the page....nothing to buy and you won't be asked to contribute to my campaign. If you hate pumpkin rolls, like my page, since they only "look" like a pumpkin roll. The taste is out of this world.

If you go to the page, scroll down and click the "about" tab. That will open a page that shows the flavors we make. Fun stuff and "thanks for your support".

Flying the American Flag
Good day everyone,
I hadn't intended to write a post today, but interesting enough, I saw something that needs addressing.
There are petitions and surveys roaming the Internet, without limit and usually without any background checks. I received one such petition today. In a nutshell, it asks Lawmakers to create a Law allowing any U.S. Citizen to fly the flag with honor and not be hindered to do so.
Anyone read about homeowners associations in Alabama or Texas that filed lawsuits against a homeowner because of their flag? Lawsuits have happened.
The following link is a pdf file and outlines US Law pertaining to the display of the American Flag. First written into Code in 1923, and updated as recently as 2005 and 2008.

The Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005
56 prohibits a
condominium, cooperative, or real estate management association from adopting or
enforcing any policy or agreement that would restrict or prevent a member of the
association from displaying the flag in accordance with the Federal Flag Code on
residential property to which the member has a separate ownership interest.
Interestingly enough, many petitions ask for Congress to make Laws that would benefit only select folks...Veterans. That would be against the Law and even I would fight to repeal such a Law if it ever came into being. Laws cannot be created for one group and must be inclusive of ALL citizens.
Fly the Flag proudly, with honor...and properly.
Thanks everyone. Have a great Weekend!
