MAGNIFICANCE
If you did not hear the president's speech do so if you
can. It was in the magnificence of Abraham Lincoln and FDR. Give
yourself the pleasure of listening, emphasizing, and walk in the shoes he gives you to make thing better in this nation!
READY, AIM ... PEACE

A blogger's response: We have a culture of violence in this country and we need brave
politicians who won't be afraid to use some truths about ourselves. We are a
violent nation a violent people who have a callous disregard for life. We need
to promote a culture that respects life.https://mail.google.com/mail/
Our nation, I think, is no exception to the general rule. The difference is that most of the electorate THINKS we are the most exceptional nation and those who hold power dupe others through a nationalist "conservative" fantasy land trying to sell that "exceptionalism" not only to those here who buy it but to the world many of whom do not. There is, too, the ever-present money that is made from war at the expense of middle and lower class bodies who share only in the wounds and death it bestows. The media and social media peddles it.
The mayhem in the Middle East is a direct result of the US Iraq invasion based on lies for power's own nefarious, mendacious and self-aggrandizing reasons. Our nation dismembered a Middle East tinderbox placing sects who were once at a strong-arm controlled peace with each other now in torturous never-ending eternal sectarian war.
We can choose to emphasize the better angels of our nature, eschew eternal war, stop the murder of each other and concentrate on those things that really DO advance mankind. Human beings do better when they work with one another and care about each other. No one can live in constant mayhem. Death and destruction will be its legacy. Let us emphasize that which can advance humankind and NOT destroy it!

IF I COULD TALK / BEST DOG FILM SHORT Director
This is a gorgeous short film about a man and his rescue of a blond lab puppy that had been placed in a garbage bag and thrown into the water. He keeps the dog and the short film is about the dog's lifelong relationship with that man and ultimately his family. It's
called "If I Could Talk" and shows what the dog would say to the man if he could.
The thoughts the dog has not only are applicable to dogs and animals we love but really to anyone we love. It is beautiful in its simplicity and emphasizes why we need to love those we love and say so as much as we can as time goes by and our lives together grow short.

Thank You!
I wrote a note to my police chief yesterday thanking him for
those first responders who helped me when I needed them and thought of my
beloved town that educated me for free, that provided for me, who needed it
then, transportation to school. I wished I could thank the many teachers who
educated me and provided inspiration for higher education. I wished I could thank, too, all those persons of
color, Hispanics and other immigrants who helped me when hospitalized not once,
not twice but three times after post polio issues presented life as a climb up
Everest. They carried my food to me, they carried other things for me that are
part of life and I thanked God or fate that they were there for me. Yes, it
takes a village to help all of us survive.
We do not know the day nor the hour that all of us will, at
some time, need the help of a stranger who may have come from a strange
land. We need both the doctor and the
custodian, the teacher and the sanitation worker, the physics professor and the
carpenter necessary to keep the wheels of life turning.
We must appreciate all those who may not be famous but are
the necessities of our lives. The great sages teach us love and not hate. We are in this together and we MUST learn to
live together or we shall all die separately and alone.

The True Face of Terror.
Former Tea Party congressman, Joe Walsh has been pretty actively a terrible person for many years now. He’s a deadbeat dad, and a racist, and everything you expect from the extreme right. Tonight with the horrible events in Dallas unfolding, Walsh...
dailykos.com
The TRUE face of terror. Rightwingnuts are mean, they are violent and are simply dying to create a race war. Does he even realize there are whites who mourn both the black people shot for nothing and the officers deaths as well. His verbiage is meant to inflame and incite what they really want is race war. Do not give it to them. Turn your other cheek and be kind to one another. That is the BEST offense we can present!

An Excerpt
Trump thinks Sadam Hussein was a cool guy because he could control his opposition. I thought we fought a war killing thousands to rid the planet of Sadam Hussein. See Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-saddam-hussein_us_577c626ae4b09b4c43c18be2
Perhaps he would not think Hussein was so cool if he were at the other end of Sadam's lovely torturous tactics and chemical weapons on the innocent Kurds' men women and children as the site linked below says. An excerpt from this site is as follows:
Chemical Weapons Against Kurds --
As early as April 1987, the Iraqis used chemical weapons to remove Kurds from their villages in northern Iraq during the Anfal campaign. It is estimated that chemical weapons were used on approximately 40 Kurdish villages, with the largest of these attacks occurring on March 16, 1988 against the Kurdish town of Halabja.
Beginning in the morning on March 16, 1988 and continuing all night, the Iraqis rained down volley after volley of bombs filled with a deadly mixture of mustard gas and nerve agents on Halabja. Immediate effects of the chemicals included blindness, vomiting, blisters, convulsions, and asphyxiation." See link below.
It is no wonder Trump will not disavow the KKK, anti-Semitic noxious sites, anti-immigrants and racist white supremacists who think Trump is their glorious leader. Those psychopaths are his base. If this guy gets within one foot of the oval office this nation is in DEEP DEEP trouble that will make present history look tame by comparison!
http://history1900s.about.com/od/saddamhussein/a/husseincrimes.htm
TRUMP MUST BE DEFEATED. THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE AND THERE IS NO QUESTION HILLARY'S EMAILS, AN EXAMPLE OF MEDIA OVERREACTION TO ANYTHING HILLARY, PALE IN COMPARISON TO TRUMP'S UGLINESS AND THE HORROR HE WOULD VISIT UPON OUR NATION AND THE WORLD IF GOD FORBID A TRILLION TIMES HE STEPPED ONE FOOT NEAR THE OVAL OFFICE. HILLARY IS THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE TO EVER VIE FOR THE PRESIDENCY. ELECT HER AND PUT AN END TO TRUMPIAN TOXICITY. IF WE LOSE THE CONSTITUTIONAL CIVIL LIBERTARIAN ESSENCE OF WHAT MADE THIS NATION GREAT THEN WE LOSE THE NATION. Pass this to anyone you choose.

A Review by David Shribman of "Bush" by Jean Edward Smith
David Shribman: "Bush" A harsh critique of the presidency of George W. BushThere can be no mystery where the distinguished biographer Jean Edward Smith stands on the 43rd president, the subject of his latest work (link below.) “Rarely in the history of the United States,’’ he writes in the first sentence of his preface, “has the nation been so ill-served as during the presidency of George W. Bush.’’The more than 800 pages that follow are devoted to showing why that first page provides evidence enough. The budget went from surplus to deficit; the country went from peace to war; military spending went from 3 percent of GDP to seven times that much. The man in charge was, Smith says, “[u]nprepared for the complexities of governing, with little executive experience and a glaring deficit in his attention span, untutored, untraveled, and unversed in the ways of the world.’’ And he left behind a country, Smith argues, “impoverished by debt, besieged by doubt, struggling with the aftereffects of the worst recession since the Great Depression, and deeply engaged in military conflicts of our own choosing.’’ The review is an interesting read. Pass this on if you choose. https://www.bostonglobe.com/…/

It is now being reported by multiple sources including Chuck Todd, CNN, and MSNBC that Hillary Clinton will face no charges and no indictment
May I finally say AMEN!!!!!!? I hope the story true. If so you are looking at the first woman president in US history AND her running mate I predict will be Corey Booker!!!!! He is whom I wanted months ago but no one floated his name so I thought of those they were suspecting Julian Castro was my choice. I did not want the uninspiring Tim Kaine who had some okay in VA pay to play politics surrounding him. Corey Booker is personality and intellect plus and his enthusiasm for Hillary showed when he was interviewed. A light bulb went off in my head. Can I let out a YEEEEEEEHAAAA!? Read the story at the link below.

The Prince of Light
The survivor of the darkest night -- the
Holocaust and Auschwitz -- Elie Wiesel is dead. He was our worldly
conscience and the prince of light illuminating the Nazi darkness for
all the world's eyes to see. As the Jew often says, may his memory be a
blessing. He voyages ironically now into the darkness of the earth and
he will become intermingled with it as dust. This time he goes naturally
and as nature intended at age 87. It is the eighth wonder of the world
and is its miracle that he actually lived through the horrors his eyes
saw. I quote from his world famous book "Night" as he so eloquently and
with deep emotion conveys to us the living who never experienced what
it meant to live through the Holocaust in Auschwitz even for one night.
He said:
In Daniel Goldhagen's book "Hitler's Willing Executioners -- Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust" he describes the ordinary German, the everyday folk who were needed to make the functioning of the Holocaust work. They simply were doing the job assigned removing its goal of genocide from the forefront of their minds. What can we learn when man is reduced to untermenschen (subhuman) which make the bestial slaughter of innocent men, women and children palatable for other men to perpetrate. Hannah Ardent in her book "The Banality of Evil" (A description of Adolf Eichmann the designer of what to do about the "Jewish Question") says profundities. Eichmann was not a monster. He was an ordinary being and describes the perverse actions of normal human beings that become easy for them to do as they incorporate its nationalist rationalizations into every day life. He was doing it for his country. He was only following orders.
The profound question, of course, is what can we learn from this bastardization of human behavior? Never Again rings in my ears always as I look out on a world that seemingly has learned little from the monstrosity of its historically collective malevolent experience. Again and again we see actions of our own government and actions of those in the eternal civil wars of Middle East religious and tribal hatred which allow them do unspeakable things no one should have the right to do. Throwing bodies from buildings, placing human cargo in iron carts sunk into the depth of the sea to drown in a horrific death; heads lopped off simply because they are from another group or tribe as if they were trees cut to build a house. What can we do to stem the tide both at home and abroad to save ourselves from ourselves?
The first
and, perhaps, the only step is for the individual we to choose life over
death, light over the darkness of our most ugly inclinations and say
NO; simply NO. I will not do this; I will not hate; and I will not
perpetrate violence on other innocent beings. Every one of the living
has the right to its life. What else can we do since obviously never
again becomes always again. The Prince of Light, Elie Wiesel's life
counted for something but it is up to us, the living, now to understand
and enforce his message.
“Never shall I forget that night, the first night in the camp, which has
turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times
sealed....Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and
my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things,
even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.”
“Then came the march past the victims. The two men were no longer alive. Their tongues were hanging out,
swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing...
And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes.
And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tongue was still
red, his eyes not yet extinguished.
Behind me, I heard the same man asking:
"For God's sake, where is God?"
And from within me, I heard a voice answer:
"Where He is? This is where--hanging here from this gallows..."
That night, the soup tasted of corpses.”
We, the living, are the lucky ones
by an accident of timely birth and our gift of geographical removal
never saw the unspeakable that his words convey to our minds eye. Man's
capability of madness is, truly, incomprehensible.“Then came the march past the victims. The two men were no longer alive. Their tongues were hanging out,
swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing...

LET IT BE DONE QUICKLY
Re: Clinton's emails: Naturally the Republicans are trying to pillory Hillary over the plane encounter of Bill Clinton with Attorney General Lynch. So what else is new? They've been pillorying her for 35 years. Having said that I suggest Bill take a vacation and NOT subvert his wife's life. He has done so many things without thought of his own wife and family. He's smart, yes, of course, he is, but sometimes he is stupid and this is one of those times.
Attorney Lynch with Bill on a plane creates profoundly rotten optics I will admit BUT in reality it is as it always has been. Attorney General Lynch has said all along that she would take the recommendation of the career prosecutors and not intervene like Eric Holder did with General Petraeus. Loretta Lynch is the epitome of ethics. I would NEVER think she would twist the process. For her and everyone else it would be prudent to let the process play out. I am, as Bernie Sanders was, SICK TO DEATH of her gd emails.
In my opinion, as I have listened to expert counsel on the issue, what she did with her personal server did not, I repeat NOT arise to the level of "INTENT" to hurt the nation. I-N-T-E-N-T is the operative word. I am angry that it is even an issue and that seasoned, experienced, professional lawyers and politicians would not know to scrupulously monitor what they do or even appear to do. Then again the Bush administration committed all kinds of acts that should have been determined illegal such as torture and taking a nation to an entire war based on lies creating a volcanic eruption in the Middle East. We pay for those damnable choices every day to this very day. Even I was for the Iraq War because 9/11 was overwhelming and I thought -- yes I did think -- that George W. Bush/Cheney knew something we did not. HOW ADMITTEDLY STUPID I was. Politicians ruin their own career legacies with their own hands and have no one to blame but themselves BUT we the people pay for it.
I continue to believe Hillary Clinton used a personal server for the same reasons General and Secretary Powell did -- to protect and control information they had from getting into hands they did not trust . We KNOW the State Department's email policy was no policy at all. Please, FBI for my own sanity and those who KNOW Hillary Rodham Clinton would make a GREAT president -- as said in Scene I of Macbeth -- IF THE DEED BE DONE LET IT BE DONE QUICKLY!
I CONTINUE TO ASK YOU TO WORK YOUR HEART OUT FOR THE ELECTION TO THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF HILLARY CLINTON!

Plagiarized Lessons and Deceptive Tactics: A Look Inside the Trump Institute
What more does one need to know (NYT link below) before this beast Trump is SOUNDLY defeated? Mitt Romney was right Trump is, in fact, a big con. He takes his lessons from the Bernie Madoff school of ripoffs and Ponzi schemes. True, Trump was not selling stock (that I know of) but he was allegedly selling phony deals like Trump University and the Trump Institute.
Now he wants to make the BIGGEST con of all -- the American people -- by taking us -- ALL of us -- for the world's biggest con, capturing the White House to use it in God knows what myriad of ways for his own personal gain and enrichment. I am sure the schemes one could create from it would boggle the mind.
DO NOT LET HIM DO THIS. The dangers of electing this faker to the highest most powerful office in the world are ENORMOUS! I know you will do as I and everyone I know, vote HRC into office and stop this terrible con man from committing the biggest con of his life. As a relative quoted to me "the rising tide raises all yachts but cast small and medium boats upon the rocks."

The Question of my Life -- Istanbul incredulity
The question of my entire living career: How can human beings inflict such hurt both physical and emotional on other innocent human beings?
I ask that question not only of the beasts that struck terror In Istanbul but I ask that of ALL nations who think nothing about dropping bombs on innocents.
I shake my head in disbelief! Does the person doing the killing and/or bomb dropping, cutting off heads and other forms of unspeakable torture ever once put themselves in the other guy's shoes and ask how would THEY would feel?
It is just plain sad and so much of life is. My disbelief of what happened in Istanbul and ALL the Istanbuls is profound and indescribable. What my aunt once said to me is true: It is, indeed, man's inhumanity to man. I weep.
If YOU WANT ISTANBUL TIMES 10 THEN VOTE FOR HILLARY'S DERANGED DISLOYAL OPPOSITION. THE COMPLEXITY ASKS .... NO DEMANDS ... DEEP KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE AND ABILITY. HILLARY CLINTON WINNING IS NO LONGER SIMPLY A HOPE IT IS A DESPERATE PRAYER! WORK FOR HER AND ALL DEMOCRATS DOWN TICKET. A DONALD TRUMP IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE IF YOU WANT TO SEE US AND OUR GENERATION'S POSTERITY LIVE!

Trumps Trumpet -- an inferior sound
I worked for many years as a legal executive assistant in Boston. It was a tough job. It required knowledge of some court procedure and computer expertise. In Trumpian fashion -- I was simply the best, incredible even -- NO strike that; I had my good days and bad. As a metaphoric absurdity to my point, though, if one day human resources came to me and asked me to go to court to fill in for an attorney who could not make it for a motion in an important case, aside from the fact that it would be highly illegal, I would think she had flipped her noodle, was cracked and maybe insane. I might have often been good at the occupation I chose but I was NOT an attorney.
When George W. Bush became president I was working at that firm, talking to a friend as the nation held its breath awaiting the court decision that would act as the deciding referee to this volatile and contentious Democrat v. Republican pugilism. I was sick at heart as the the match was decided for Bush. The imprecise tally of the hanging chads Justice O'Connor thought was just fine and in the 11th inning the Bush foul was declared fair.
In my view the Republicons stole the election and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's morphed the court into the arena of a wholly owned political corporate subsidiary where it is stuck in present time. The consequences of that decision would be dire. An intellectually inferior, cerebrally challenged and emotionally incapable dry drunk Bush assumed the presidency of the most powerful nation on earth. I tried rationalization. Maybe, I thought, he will not be that bad. He was that bad and worse. His rancid tenure and horrific historical legacy will be told by the experts but his legacy includes a war based on lies, thousands dead, refugees by the millions, a Middle East dismembered and Europe's fabric altered by the influx of refugees by the thousands to the west. BREXIT is about immigration and Britain's antipathy toward it but Britain fought that deadly Iraq War based on lies too and now they pay the price. That "Mission Accomplished" War Bush in his penile fight suit proclaimed on the carrier Lincoln is now in its 12th year, the longest war in US history. Bush did not know a Sunni from a Shia, had no plan for after the war and wasted trillions in treasure without mentioning the massive amounts of human blood wasted on a war he had no idea how to wage. Worse, on his watch the Great Recession of 2007 landed like a meteor smashing into the earth ruining the middle class and the poor the most.
Al Gore should have been president and, indeed, he retained the popular vote. Imagine how different life could be possibly without a 9/11 and with a climate change correction. When upset in extremis my medical weak spot pays a visit. I began having an optic migraine caused from deep stress. Worse my vision becomes impaired. It is, for me, 20 minutes of hell. The Bush presidency was 8 years of hell the effects of which we experience still.
One would think a nation would learn not to repeat its nasty past. Here we are, though, with the presumed nominee of a major US Party, Donald J. Know Nothing Trump, who thinks he is so fantastic, so utterly wonderful, so "good brain" great that he can assume the world's most difficult job requiring deep knowledge of both domestic and foreign policy. This bully, bigot, and stupid candidate for the presidency could, in fact, if the American electorate is so either clueless or masochistic yet again usher in the earth's most unqualified humanoid for the office of president of the United States.
Trump is a business man as was Bush. The US with its 350 million people is NOT a commodity to be traded away so that Trump can pad his millions as he has been doing all of his life probably paying little to no taxes that the rest of us cough up.
Trump's trumpet in Scotland played its inferior sound which was solely about Trump who did not know BREXIT from Exlax until BREXIT was about to ensue. Trump cared not about the British people or the effects of BREXIT on the world. He cared about his Scotland golf course making him money if the British pound sank.
The presidency could make Donald J. Trump number one on his trumpet's hit parade much richer than he ever dreamed he could be while the rest of us, like the Wall Street of 2007 sink into the 2016 electoral abyss.
YOU WILL WORK HARD, I KNOW YOU WILL, TO ELECT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE HILLARY CLINTON BECAUSE SHE IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE MOST QUALIFIED TO BE ELECTED PRESIDENT AND YOU WILL VOTE DEMOCRATS DOWN TICKET INTO OFFICE SO SHE CAN WORK TO SAVE OUR NATION!
When George W. Bush became president I was working at that firm, talking to a friend as the nation held its breath awaiting the court decision that would act as the deciding referee to this volatile and contentious Democrat v. Republican pugilism. I was sick at heart as the the match was decided for Bush. The imprecise tally of the hanging chads Justice O'Connor thought was just fine and in the 11th inning the Bush foul was declared fair.
In my view the Republicons stole the election and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's morphed the court into the arena of a wholly owned political corporate subsidiary where it is stuck in present time. The consequences of that decision would be dire. An intellectually inferior, cerebrally challenged and emotionally incapable dry drunk Bush assumed the presidency of the most powerful nation on earth. I tried rationalization. Maybe, I thought, he will not be that bad. He was that bad and worse. His rancid tenure and horrific historical legacy will be told by the experts but his legacy includes a war based on lies, thousands dead, refugees by the millions, a Middle East dismembered and Europe's fabric altered by the influx of refugees by the thousands to the west. BREXIT is about immigration and Britain's antipathy toward it but Britain fought that deadly Iraq War based on lies too and now they pay the price. That "Mission Accomplished" War Bush in his penile fight suit proclaimed on the carrier Lincoln is now in its 12th year, the longest war in US history. Bush did not know a Sunni from a Shia, had no plan for after the war and wasted trillions in treasure without mentioning the massive amounts of human blood wasted on a war he had no idea how to wage. Worse, on his watch the Great Recession of 2007 landed like a meteor smashing into the earth ruining the middle class and the poor the most.
Al Gore should have been president and, indeed, he retained the popular vote. Imagine how different life could be possibly without a 9/11 and with a climate change correction. When upset in extremis my medical weak spot pays a visit. I began having an optic migraine caused from deep stress. Worse my vision becomes impaired. It is, for me, 20 minutes of hell. The Bush presidency was 8 years of hell the effects of which we experience still.
One would think a nation would learn not to repeat its nasty past. Here we are, though, with the presumed nominee of a major US Party, Donald J. Know Nothing Trump, who thinks he is so fantastic, so utterly wonderful, so "good brain" great that he can assume the world's most difficult job requiring deep knowledge of both domestic and foreign policy. This bully, bigot, and stupid candidate for the presidency could, in fact, if the American electorate is so either clueless or masochistic yet again usher in the earth's most unqualified humanoid for the office of president of the United States.
