Hiatus



Me, a bit beat up after the presidential election

Hi folks!  I'm on a bit of a hiatus here.  Yesterday I just returned from a wonderful week's stay in Philadelphia.  Except for another fall, of which I will write about later, I had a fabulous time.

Right now I'm catching up on doctor's appointments for both me and Bill and coordinating Bill's cataract surgery.

I'm not sure how much I'm going to write about the impending Trump presidency.  I'm tempted not to say anything at all and just sit back and what the chaos that surely will happen now that the Hillary Haters have "won."  Just one comment, imagine what Trump and his supporters would be saying now if they lost the electoral college vote and yet won the popular vote.  Yeah, just imagine.

In the meantime, I'm not even going to pray for this country.  The Trump supporters got exactly what they wanted.  Now let them make America great again.  They have made their choice and when this country is in the ditch again, like after the Bush presidency, they have no one to blame but themselves.  It's just a shame the rest of us have to endure this nightmare.

Trump Wins!



What can I say?  

I am in shock.  I am speechless.

Donald J. Trump won the U.S. presidential election last night in one of the biggest political upsets in our country's history.

I will have a lot to say about his victory and what it means to our country in future blog postings but now I just want to express my utter shock and disbelief that this event has happened.

I suspected things were going wrong early last night when I was watching coverage and Trump was leading in all the battleground states.  I got that "sinking" feeling but dismissed it.  

Several times I turned the TV off and only checked the progress of the election on an app on my phone.  I just didn't want to hear all the chatter with the bad news.

I went to bed around 12:30 AM, hoping against hope that the battleground states (and some that weren't like Michigan and Wisconsin) would go Hillary's way.  That was not to be.  I couldn't sleep.  In fact I only managed to get about an hour's worth of sleep and that only surface sleep.

This morning in a few hours my neighbor is going to drive me (in the rain, how appropriate on a day like this) to Philadelphia. 

Today is my birthday and for the past few years I visit Philly with my friend Pat.  I was hoping to have something to celebrate but instead I guess I'll spend some time reconciling myself to the fact that Donald Trump is now the president of the United States.  

One good thing, all the Congressional investigating committees against Hillary will never appear again.  Hopefully.

Have a good day, if you can.

Proud To Be An American

Me, third in line to vote this morning! 

That day is finally here!

I felt like a nine year old kid trying to go to sleep on Christmas Eve.  However, I did manage to go to sleep.  Thankfully I didn't have any nightmares like too often I was having the past several weeks. 

I woke up this morning at 5:05 AM, ready to vote.  I checked my iPhone for any over night  news.  All clear.

I got up, hit the bathroom, then told Bill to get ready.  We're leaving so I can be the first in line to vote.  

I have about a four mile drive to Cape Henlopen High School where I vote.  

This morning was a beautiful, bright, clear, brisk autumn day. A perfect day for voting!

I arrived at the parking lot of the high school at approximately 6:25 AM.  I saw one person in line already.  The polls open at 7:00 AM.



One person was in line already as I arrived this morning at Cape Henlopen High School to vote.

I approached the line and I saw another voter arriving at the same time.  I motioned for him to go ahead of me.  I didn't mind being third in line.  


Me with the two other guys ahead of me in line this morning

I said "Good morning!" to him.  We began a non-political conversation.  God forbid if he was a Trump supporter and I would have to stand in line with him with THAT tension. Neither one of us gave an indication of how we would vote.

I found out that a he, like me, is also am Army veteran.  He was in the Army from 1957 to 1960.  I was in the Army from 1960 to 1963.  As is usual with old Army vets, we exchanged war stories.

Before long we looked behind us and lo and behold, check out THAT line.


Long line to vote early this morning

Seven AM arrived and the doors to the Cape Henlopen High school were opened.  

The poll workers were all in place. Some of them were a bit disorganized but I could see that they had staffed for a busy day.  Being a former poll worker myself (when I lived in Pennsylvania) I knew they were in for a long day.

I approached the table where I could sign in.  I showed my voter registration card and signed in.  I thanked the lady who had be sign the book for volunteering her time. 

I walked to my private voting booth.  I had read in the newspaper the night before that the voter commission STRONGLY recommends against taking selfies in the voting booth.  Why, I don't know other than some local bureaucrat exercising their power.  You can take  your kids in the voting booth with you, service pets but take a selfie?  Strongly discouraged.  I took a selfie anyway, a bit blurred because I was afraid of being caught.  


My, quick blurry picture of me in my voting "booth"

Just as I was about to take my selfie one of the poll workers pulled the curtain aside (I thought I was caught!) and asked me if the light was on my voting machine.  It wasn't.  She turned in on.  I took a gander at my choices.  I tried not to look at the name Trump and Pence because I wince whenever I see or hear those names.  

I was going to split my ticket because I like the local Republican representative to the state legislature but decided not to take a chance and accidentally vote for Trump/Pence and voted straight Democrat.  Can't go wrong there can I? 


Straight Democratic folks! Dump the Trump!

Then I exited the flimsy curtains of my voting booth or stand or whatever they call it.  I was looking for my "I VOTED!" sticker.  The poll workers around me still weren't organized but they were trying.  I'm sure now they have their routine down pat but they didn't this morning.  I finally got my "I VOTED!" sticker, which was plastered on my jacket.  It stays there all this week, even throughout my trip to Philly tomorrow to celebrate the election of Hillary Clinton, the first woman president in the history of the United States!


Me happily standing in line waiting to exercise my right to vote - proud to be an American!


At eleven this morning I have to take Bill down to his eye doctor to finalize the paperwork for his cataract surgery in December.  

Then the rest of this day I'm going to be sitting at this computer, with my TV on in the background, listening to the election results.  I'll probably be up late tonight but that's okay.

Tomorrow at 9 AM my neighbor stops by and takes me to Philly.  He's also a Hillary supporter.  We'll have a lot to talk about for the 2 1/2 hour ride to Philly.

Yes folks, today I am proud to be an American.  I voted.

Want a Reason to Vote?


Trump's proposed cabinet choices 

Want a good reason to vote for Hillary Clinton tomorrow?  Check out Donald Trump's proposed cabinet choices!  If this doesn't scare the bejesus out of you, nothing will.

Go vote!

I feel like a kid the on Christmas Eve.  Full of excitement of expectations of a positive result from this presidential election.

I go to work today.  Tomorrow I will get up early and go down to Henlopen High School to register my vote for a straight Democratic ticket.  Note I didn't say "Democrat" ticket but DEMOCRATIC ticket.

Then (barring any jarring surprises) Hillary Clinton will elected president and Donald Trump will be forever branded for the loser that he is.

FBI Director Confirms Clinton E-mails No Change

James Comey, FBI Director


Last week FBI director James Comey sent a letter to the House subcommittee investigating Hillary Clinton's e-mails, saying they had discovered more e-mails on Hillary's aide Huma Abedin's computer that she shared with her disgraced estranged husband Anthony Weiner.  

That letter adversely affected the presidential election  two weeks before the vote.  The news media was all over it.  The Trump campaign went into an orgasmic frenzy shouting the lie  "Hillary is a criminal, lock her up!"

Well folks, James Comey just released another letter today saying "A review of new Clinton emails has not changed or original conclusion against charges."  See HERE

So what will the Trump campaign do now after this news?  They will do what they always do, lie.  

Here's the irony, the Trump campaign has the constant drumbeat that Hillary is untrustworthy and a liar.  Of course any reasonable person knows who is untrustworthy and the liar, Donald J. Trump.

Two more days folks, until we can put this nightmare of Trumpism behind us.  To vote for Hillary Clinton and defeat Donald Trump and confirm permanently Trump for the loser that he is.  

You know it's a shame in a way.  Trump appealed to a certain portion of the electorate that has felt left out and who have legitimate concerns.  Oh sure he attracted the white supremacists, and the haters but his campaign also attracted voters who felt neglected and left out of the system.  The shame is that a con man like Donald Trump was took advantage of these people. 

In two days Donald J. Trump will be branded forever in American history for the loser that he is.   Can't happen soon enough.

The F.B.I. Fails and Other Observations of the Presidential Election

James Comey, F.B.I. Director - more concerned with his own image than the country

One week ago today James Comey, the F.B.I. Director notified the Republican lead House subcommittee that the F.B.I. had discovered more e-mails that may be related to the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation.  

Thus, James Comey inserted himself into the presidential election.  Did he do it on purpose?  Of course he did because he put his reputation above the protocol of the F.B.I. not commenting on ongoing investigations, especially this close to the presidential election.  The proof?  Why didn't he mention the continuing investigation of Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort's ties to Russia?  

Now information has come out that disgruntled F.B.I. agents are leaking information supplied by Trump supporters to the F.B.I. about the Clinton Foundation. 

These actions by the F.B.I. is just the latest pillar of trust to crumble.  There was a time we could assume that the F.B.I. didn't take sides.  That the F.B.I. was above politics.  

Yesterday a tape was played Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani cackling during a CNN interview that was taken three days before the Comey letter that "something big was gong to happen."  Obviously Giuliani was fed information by rogue New York based F.B.I. agents about their bogus investigation into the Clinton Foundation.




You know what's ironic folks?  That Hillary Clinton is being accused of being a criminal and should be "shot" (according to New Hampshire State Trump chairman Al Baldasaro) or at minimum "lock her up!" that is often chanted at the Trump rock concert tour by his irredeemable deplorable masses. 

I'll ask the obvious question, what has Hillary Clinton ever done to these people?  Nothing, that's what.  

What has Donald Trump and his supporters done? They have created hate and divisiveness on an unprecedented scale.  Trump has offended just about every minority group in the electorate except Stepford Wives perfect model wives and mistresses. Donald Trump has not paid taxes for years, using other people's losses as his own loss to avoid paying taxes.  No taxes to support this country.  No taxes to support our military.  Donald Trump kept all his money to buy gold plated chairs for his Versailles type aerie at the top of Trump Tower in New York City. 


Trump and his toady Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence who has sold his soul for a desperate grab at power - so much  for evangelicals and heir holier than thou preachings - Pence supports the Pussy Grabber

Only a few days now folks until this mess is over with. I'm going to take a good, long shower.

Final Countdown



Now the latest news on the election is that more e-mails related to Hillary Clinton were discovered on (are you sitting down?) Anthony Weiner's cell phone.  Of course the Republicans are jumping up and down in orgasmic ecstasy over the "Lock her up!" rhetoric. Calm down Hillary Haters. Hillary is still going to win the election. Yes, the election is going to be close but Hillary is going to win.  The Dumpster Trumpster isn't going to win. Deal with it Hillary Haters. 

I believe that many of you, like me, will be glad when this election is over.  God, I am exhausted.

Second Presidential Debate Aftermath



Did you watch the debate last night?  I did.

It was embarrassing wasn't it?  Did you ever in your life think you would see anything like that?  I didn't.

Put aside who "won" the debate.  The Trump supporters will say Trump won.  The Hillary supporters will say Hillary won.  However, here are some of the indelible images I will take away from the debate:


  1. Donald Trump threatened to jail Hillary Clinton if he is elected president.
  2. Donald Trump placed four women accusers of Bill Clinton in the audience.  Note:  Bill Clinton isn't running for president.
  3. Donald Trump lurked behind Hillary Clinton most of the night during the debate thus creating an image of the Lurking Stalker.
  4. Donald Trump claimed that his bragging about grabbing any woman's genitals because he's a "star" was just "locker room talk."


Here is my takeaway from the debate last night:


  1. Donald Trump reinvigorated his base
  2. Donald Trump didn't gain any additional women voters
  3. Donald Trump cemented his reputation as a braggart and a bully
  4. Donald Trump is totally unfit to be president of the United States

Now this is the part where I'm supposed to say "Hillary isn't perfect but she is the only alternative."  Well, I'm not going to say that.  What I am going to say is:

"Hillary Clinton is the MOST qualified individual EVER to run for president of the United States."

So fasten your seat belts folks. Donald Trump knows that he has lost the presidential race, and to a woman.  

Donald Trump is a tired, old and overweight old man. And he is ANGRY.  He's losing.  And to a WOMAN.  

As depressing as it was to watch last night's debate at least there was one good thing to come out of it.  Now we know that his repulsive monster will never be president of the United States.

Trump Goes Nuclear


An hour before the second presidential debate tonight, Donald Trump called the press in a meeting room at the hotel where he is staying.  

The photo above is what the press saw.  Four women who have accused former president Bill Clinton of sexual assault.  

Folks, a chill just went down my spine.  Not because Trump is parading these women, whose charges have never been proved, but because a major presidential candidate would sink so low to do such a thing.  

I am ashamed for this country.  Not because of Bill  Clinton and his sexual past but because the Republican nominee has sunk to such depths.  

Here's a message for Donald Trump and his supporters:


BILL CLINTON IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

The Big Debate Tonight

The second presidential debate is tonight. 

Incredibly, this debate is expected to have even more viewers than the first presidential debate.  


And why is that?  Because of the recent revelations by the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump being caught on an open mic bragging about sexual assault on women.  

Trump is threatening to bring up Bill Clinton's  sexual behavior of thirty years ago at tonight's debate.  Of course Bill Clinton isn't running for president but in Trump's world, he thinks this will help him win the presidency.  

Every day more Republicans are withdrawing their support of Trump.  Some have said they're not voting for him.  Others are calling for Trump to withdraw from the race.  

I for one will be glued to the TV tonight.  One thing is for sure, Donald Trump does entertain.  I have a theory that Trump is actually enjoying all this attention, even though it is negative.  Remember what Donald Trump has said about publicity . . . . "all publicity is good publicity."

Who Won the Debate?



Did you watch the debate last night? I did with about one hundred million other people.

Who won the debate? My immediate reaction was that Hillary won the debate because she was better prepared.  Donald Trump was clearly unprepared and ran out of gas after the first ten minutes.  He retreated to his, sometimes, nonsensical answers.  He interrupted, made faces and generally reinforced the notion that he was temperamentally unprepared to be president. 

But you know what folks?  I don't think there will be a significant change in the polls after this debate.  And certainly he didn't lose any of his supporters.  They know their candidate.  And they accept him as he is.

I took off work last night to watch the debate uninterrupted.  I didn't waste my time.

God! Would't you like to read their minds during this handshake?

Clash of the Titans

Godzilla


Only one more day folks until 

THE DEBATE

Of course you all know what I'm talking about.  The televised event that is predicted to be the most watched televised event since the moon landing, the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Are you ready folks!  I am!

I even took tomorrow night off of work so I wouldn't miss one second of this face-off between two of the most disliked candidates for the presidency of the United States in our modern history.  

Notice that I posted a photo of the most feared monster of our times, Godzilla.  I'll leave it up to your interpretation as to who Godzilla is.  I for one know who Godzilla is in my world should HE become elected president.

Donald Trump Suggests Assassinating Hillary Clinton



There is no other way to say it folks, when the Republican candidate for the president of the United States said yesterday:


“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment,” Trump said to boos from the crowd.
“By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” he then added.

“Though the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know.”

Donald Trump suggested that those "Second Amendment" people should assassinate Hillary Clinton should she be elected president and appoint Supreme Court Justices. 

Donald Trump has disqualified himself as the Republican nominee for president of the United States of America.  

This isn't about Hillary or the Democrats. This is about a man who has proven himself again and again to have the temperament to hold the most powerful position of power in the world. 

It is time for the Republican leaders to take steps to remove Donald Trump as their candidate and replace him with a responsible adult.

The time is now. Trump has caused enough damage in this country. God help us if his careless and thoughtless remarks yesterday result in a tragedy.

The Trump Kids Go Hunting

Don, Jr. and Eric Trump with their Kill - a magnificent leopard - proof that they're "Big Men" (with small dicks)


So here is the question I'm going to pose today. What do you do to relax if you're the rich brat sons of a soulless bully? You know, how do you take a break from lying and demonizing a woman who is running for president? Just what do you do to relax?  Well folks, you take a trip to Canada to kill some animals.  

Don Trump, Jr. with his Dall Sheep "harvest" - "harvest" is a euphemism that hunters use when they KILL a beautiful animal like this Dall Sheep

Yep, that's where the "wonderful children" of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (as the news media so often gushed over them during the recent Republican National Convention)  are right now, taking a "break" from the rigors of the campaign, beating up on a woman who is a thousand time more qualified in experience and temperament to be president of the United States.  

Don, Jr. with a water buffalo he decided no longer need to live on the face of this earth

Yes, those "wonderful" Trump boys, the ones who, like their father are so patriotic that they deigned not to volunteer to spend one second in the armed forces of this country defending our freedom. 

Eric Trump with his "proof" that he doesn't have a small dick - he's now a "big man"
 

Folks, I'm not a religious person but there is one thing I do believe.  There is indeed special place in Hell for people like Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump who derive pleasure from killing these magnificent animals for "fun and sport."  That this is the way they choose relaxation:

KILL AN ANIMAL

Big Man Don Trump, Jr. with the tail of an elephant he cut off - Big Brave Man

My personal belief (and I don't care how many hunters I offend) is that someone this soulless that takes pleasure in killing these beautiful creatures has a serious lack in their character.  First, I've always been convinced that they have small penises.  Killing a large animal (or any animal, apparently even foxes and turkeys are "fair game" for Don, Jr) compensates for nature short changing them in the "manliness" department.  

Yeah, I'm "impressed" Don and Eric.  Why don't you instead do something useful and volunteer your services in the defense of this country or at least helping others rather than killing these beautiful creatures who have done no harm to you?

Just to show you the total arrogance of these spurious spawn of Donald Trump, one would think in this day and age of The Dentist Who Killed Cecil the Lion, "the boys" would know better.  One would think they could find some other form of "recreation" other than blood "sport", and the "sport" part is an oxymoron for sure because how much "sport" is there when the little dicked Trump boys have the weapons?

What's the symbolism of these "men" hugging their dead animals?  What kind of soul can smile after killing? I have an answer, they have no soul.  They are soulless.

Folks, I knew the Trump boys were hunters before this current revelation came out but I was going to give them a pass on it.  I thought maybe, just maybe Don Jr. and Eric would put on hold killing any more magnificent creatures at least until their father lost his bid to become president of the United States, but old habits are hard to give up.  Plus, when you're born into the environment they were born into.  The environment of privilege, arrogance, and bullying and taking whatever you want when you want and lying as a way of life to get what you want; you don't get it.

Don, Jr. displaying his "rack" - I wonder how much of the money he used of his father's money that was conned out of the Trump University students to pay for his hunting trip? How much money that wasn't paid in U.S. income taxes

Will the Trump boys's current hunting excursion to the wilds of Canada to killing God knows what have an effect on their supporters?  I doubt it.  While many of the Trump supporters have a legitimate reason to support Trump and his "break all the China in the shop" approach to the status quo in government, I think many of those same supporters will give a pass to The Boys.  After all, isn't Hillary the real Devil?

The "Wonderful Trump Boys" - killers of innocent animals

Folks, I can never understand the joy and happiness some get in killing animals.  I can understand hunters hunting for food.  I get that.  However, I still could not do that.  Once, when I was about ten years old I shot and killed a robin off of a telephone wire with my new bee bee gun.  I remember to this day how bad I felt when I saw that robin fall to the ground, dead.  

I......FELT......BAD


Eric Trump obviously doesn't feel bad posing his rifles and hat with his Kill - soulless

I thought "Why did I just do that?"  Why? because back in the Fifties that's how one was brought up.  My father was a hunter as were most of my uncles. Of course back then, The Fifties, as I was becoming awareness of my "difference."  Me liking boys instead of girls.  My bad feeling of killing that innocent robin was just proof that I was a sissified boy.  A hopeless case that could never grow up to be a "real man".  Of course as I grew up I realized that I was not a sissy.  I was and am a caring person who does not take another living being's life as "sport." 

No animal is safe from Don Trump, Jr. Here he is with his trophy wart hog


You know folks, there is a lot of things I'm not. 

I don't have musical talent.

I don't have artistic talent.

I don't have an acting ability. (actually I think I do but that's a subject for another blog).

I'm not a mathematical genius.

I have zero sports capabilities.

I wasn't born into wealth.

I didn't have that paid college education waiting for me when I graduated from high school.

My only option was to join the Army which I felt was my obligation to this country, which I gladly did.  And it was during that time, in 1962 was the last time I fired a weapon.  An M-1 rifle (World War II vintage) at a target on the Fort George G. Meade firing range to do my annual qualification to be a soldier.


Firing Range, Ft. Meade, Maryland 1962 - Jim Harris (left) and me (right)

But there is one thing I am.  I find no pleasure in killing those magnificent creatures that we are privileged to share our lives with on this planet earth.

Don Trump Jr. with a dead turkey that he killed - just another trophy photo for his family album

So while I type this blog entry this Saturday afternoon,  the Trump Boys are in Canada take a "rest" by killing more animals.  I wonder, will they have trophy photos taken so they can post them on the Internet?  

Don, Sr. and Don, Jr. - of the same cloth - destroyers

"Lock Her Up!"




Well, it is official now.  Donald J. Trump is the official nominee for president of the United States.

Let the games begin!

As those who have been following my blog know, I am a political junkie.  I am a former Republican (first vote I ever cast was for Barry Goldwater in 1964), turned progressive Democrat.  I changed when I realized that the Bush administration and his Republican allies in Congress were trying to screw me out of my EARNED veterans' benefits during their Reign of Terror.  

I further became estranged from the Republican party when Bush and his Republican allies demonized gays like me to scare voters into voting them in office.  "Bar the door Katie!  The Gays are coming!"

I am a fiscal conservative.  I always have been and always will be.  I believe in what I work for should be mine.  But I could never vote for most of today's version of Republican which view me as a gay person as "less than."  For a party that purports to believe in "getting the government out of our lives" why is it that today's Republicans are so interested in what goes on in my personal life between consenting adults?  Why do they believe that it is their right to tell a woman what to do with her body?  While I don't personally believe in abortion, I think the decision is the woman's, not some political hack.

So what is my take on the Republican Convention?  I have to admit I'm using the mute button a lot.  I have too.  Hey, I got it.  Hillary Clinton is the devil incarnate.  Why even the esteem Dr. Ben Carson last night during his speech compared Hillary to Lucifer.  Nice move Dr. Ben.  I'm sure you'll sway those independent voters who haven't made up their minds yet who they're going to vote for.  

If you listen to those Republicans who are spewing out their unbridled hateful speeches, one would think that Hillary is responsible for everything from the rise of ISIS to the Zika virus.  Oh yeah, IT'S ALL HILLARY'S FAULT.

What was really rich last night was when New Jersey governor Chris Christy gave his speech "making the case for the prosecutor" against Hillary Clinton.  Christy, who is under investigation for "Bridgegate."  Oh you all remember that little episode don't you?  Christy and his minions (of which he claims to have NO KNOWLEDGE) closed down the busiest bridge in the world (the George Washington Bridge) on 9/11 to make a point with a local Democratic mayor who wasn't supporting him.  Yes, THAT Chris Christy who form mentor, David Samson, who he appointed to the cushy Port Authority head job; just pleading guilty to bribery.  Took a plea agreement so his corrupt ass wouldn't end up in jail.  So this Chris Christy is "making the case for the prosecution" of Hillary Clinton (I'm still trying to figure out the dastardly deeds that Hillary did that is worthy of jail time). Chris Christy, the head of a true conspiracy who is trying to bully his way through the mess he got himself in, making the case against Hillary?  GIVE.ME.A.BREAK.

Hey, I'm not big fan of Hillary and especially not her husband, Slick Willie but surely, any reasonable person can see that Trump isn't going to "build a wall and make Mexico pay for it" nor is he going to "ban all Muslims from the country" nor is he "going to deport eleven million undocumented immigrants."  

Looks folks, Donald J. Trump is on the biggest ego trip of his life.  God bless him that he's managed to con so many Republican voters who have real concerns.  

But watching last night, the chants of "Lock her up!" brought back those bad old memories I decided that the Republican party was no longer my party. 

That moment was at the 1992 Republican Convention in Houston Texas.  Pat Buchanan was the speaker.  He gave such a hate filled, homophobic speech that I was stunned.  And what really gave me chills was the mostly white crowd of Republican delegates cheering him on, much like the "Good Germans" at a Nuremberg rally for Hitler or the "good white folks" at a lynching of a black man.  Folks, I got scared straight Democrat after that speech which in effect said "If you're not straight, we don't want you in our party!"  

I was gone folks.  And last night, hearing the "Good Germans" in that Republican delegate crowd chanting "Lock her up!" reminded me again of why I can no longer support the Republican Party.  

It is a party of hate and fear mongering.

Just Kidding - Hillary Clinton Will Win



Hey folks, I really love the way that Donald Trump is giving the big Middle Finger to the incestuous political/media establishment.  LOVE IT!  But as some of you who know me better know, I could never vote for Donald Trump. Sure, he's a lot of fun and I hope he is the Republican presidential nominee because that will ensure that Hillary Clinton will be elected our next president. 

Not that I'm in love with Hillary or Bill Clinton back in the White House (I'm not) but there is NO WAY we can have a Republican in the White House.  

NO WAY.

Why?  

Supreme Court nominees.  

So now I will go back to enjoying the Donald Trump Show.  


Let Them Eat Cake!

  Lemon cake with lemon buttercream icing  Legend has it the late doomed French Queen Marie Antoinette said in response to the French peasan...
