Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter for Donald Trump's book
A first and last time kudo -- the Republican Party in Chaos!
I, no surprise, ABSOLUTELY LOATHE MOST EVERY CANDIDATE in the Republicon Party with the exception MAYBE of John Kasich and even he I find little about which to support. I will say one thing about him, though, he stayed away from the Asylum Party's unconventional convention ... so far. Kudos at least for that.
I, NEVER support anything Ted Cruz says, does or about which he is BUT this one time I will say the man had the courage of his convictions, in his address to the convention, to NOT support Trump! I applaud him for that.
Good for you, Ted Cruz, after what that orange faced hairless nincompoop gorilla (apologies to gorillas) along with all of Trump's frauds, lies, cruelty and psycho pathology, adding the terrible insulting things he said about you, your wife, as well as having the temerity to say your father was involved with Lee Harvey Oswald in the assassination of JFK, I congratulate you for upholding at least their honor by not endorsing the most DESPICABLE candidate, a dangerous candidate and a worse man that ever existed on the US historical landscape.
The fact that Cruz had the fortitude to stand up to this little man Trump, a man of NO ethical worth, a man of fraud, tax evasion and Machiavellian cruelty makes me think Cruz may be a smidgen better than that which I always thought he was. So, Ted Cruz, kudos are in order. Cruz did the right thing by not being a lap dog for the worst most embarrassing candidate for the presidency in the history of this nation, Donald J. Trump.
May Trump lose an embarrassing and utterly CRUSHING loss landslide I suspect (or at least HOPE) he now will to the MOST qualified and unfairly (to say the least) maligned candidate in US history, Hillary Rodham Clinton and may the Republicon Party of racist and misogynist white supremacy be ultimately relegated to the ash heap of history.
TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED -- ON TO PHILADELPHIA NEXT WEEK AND LET'S WIN IT FOR THE DEMOCRAT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!!

For those of you who have
Netflix I recommend a WONDERFUL
documentary entitled "Citizen Koch." Yes, it is the same film the Koch
Brothers allegedly were successful in squashing when PBS, once a great
public education network but now Koch Brothers and their minions
controlled, did NOT want to air it. PBS caved and never did show the
film BUT Netflix is carrying it.
If
you want to know just how big the corporatist agenda is and how they
hoodwinked middle and working class white America watch this film. The
majority of the tea baggers that are screaming in the insanity to elect
Donald Trump have fallen for the effort of the 1%. Why? I have my
opinions. After the election of Barack Obama, the first black president, the Republican Party in their voracious zeal for wealth and power co-opted these millions of middle and working class white voters into supporting them because they knew those voters could not stand our first black president. Yes, in my opinion, it is all about race and the desire, by any means necessary, to deny the person of color power by super paks financing elections to elect Republicans, gerrymandering districts to ensure Republicans are elected, controlling state legislatures, cutting voting areas in Democratically minority districts, cutting the times and days one can vote, requiring Voter IDs thereby denying minorities the RIGHT to vote by making it harder TO vote for mainly persons of color and Democrats.
Moreover, Governor Scott Walker's cutting of public unions through Right to Work legislation eviscerated the Democratic vote further. He gave tax cuts to the wealthy, cut jobs and pensions from public workers and drove the state into debt. His Right to Work affinity is in truth the right of state workers to be unemployed! So called "right to work" is camouflage for anti Union. Unions protect the rights of workers, their salaries and benefits through collective bargaining. It is an old story and one with historical legs.
GET OUT THE TRUTH AND THE VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON!

State Department Declares FBI Director Was WRONG About Clinton’s Emails, They Were NOT Marked
Again, just how rancid can the GOP be and just how destructive and erroneous was Comey's assessment of Hillary Clinton? If I were Hillary I would ask for a public hearing with both Comey and her in attendance. Get the truth out and restore Hillary Clinton's name to its rightful truthful place of honor. Or better still she should sue the bastards!

Melania's Plagiarized Speech
Why should Melania's plagiarism surprise us? I am sure Trump had control over every word she spoke and lifted those parts from Michelle's Obama's DNC speech without Melania's knowledge -- just a hunch. That would be no surprise, indeed. In fact, Trump lifted paragraphs of the book on his Trump Institute alleged corporate fraud business venture from "Real Estate Mastery System" published by Success Magazine linked here from which he bilked millions of bucks from unsuspecting eyes of those who would read about his "course" and sign up. Moreover, I will not go into the infamous detail of Trump University now under investigation for fraud by the New York Attorney General's office. Google it and read about that.
The nearly entire first night of the the Republican National Convention was FILLED with discord, spectacle and lies. Fact check every single speaker ESPECIALLY the famous like the histrionic explosive Rudy Giuliani and even those not famous who tragically suffered loss of their loved ones in Benghazi like Pat Smith. Her speech eviscerated Hillary unjustifiably. As much as I sympathize with Pat Smith's heartache it does NOT give her the right to tell untruths about Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton was NOT I repeat NOT responsible for her son's death. How much will these appellations of "Crooked Hillary" that are FALSE stick in the minds of those who question nothing? We are talking about the American presidency and the nominee of one major Party, a man who will control all the weapons of annihilation. I suggest one question everything spewed from the filled-with-mendacity speakers at the Republican Convention who utter at best half truths at worst downright lies of nearly all they say especially about Hillary Clinton and the president. Question the content of all those who will speak in the days to come.
The Republican Legislative Committee for the Investigation of Benghazi did multiple investigations of Secretary Clinton on Benghazi and found NOTHING on which to indict her. As much as we sympathize with Pat Smith's loss of her son it cannot be a justification to erroneously place the blame on an individual who was not at fault for her son's death simply because one cannot accept his fate fighting in a violent nation at secular war as the cause of his death.
In addition, I also link below the story of Melania's plagiarized speech from Huffington Post. Read it and know. Then pass this on to whomever you want. Get the word out that the Republican National Convention speakers fill their verbiage with half baked truths and lies especially about Hillary Clinton and the president! I list one Fact Check example below along with another link about Melania Trump's plagiarism.
The spectacle after Melania's introduction of Trump of his emerging from the mist of white clouds like who? God? This was preposterously staged theater of what should be thought a serious event by the nominee. If a Democrat did that they would be pilloried.
And one more thing illuminated by a blogger: "Jail time for Hillary Clinton?" How about the entire Bush Administration for starting the Iraqi War under the false pretense of WMD that were never found. How many investigations were conducted and how many lives were lost? Feb 2003 I was at Ft Lewis Washington training to go to Iraq." I rest, for now, my case.
Fact-Checking the First Night of the Republican National Convention
by Mark Murray , Alexandra Jaffe, Carrie Dann and Jane C. Timm
CLAIM (Rudy Giuliani): "Hillary Clinton's answer to Congress about the death of these four brave Americans [in Benghazi] because of her failures as Secretary of State was 'what difference at this point does it make?' Watch the video for yourself and see the arrogant disregard for American lives lost unnecessarily. Make up your own mind."
THE FACTS: According to the video of Clinton's congressional testimony, Clinton's "what difference at this point does it make" was over whether the violence in Benghazi was inspired by anti-Islam video or not. "With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they'd they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator."
To quote a relative: "The majority of November voters are going to see this fiasco for what it is: a cheap, name-calling, undemocratic melodrama, tawdry and sullied as is the clown with the "Big Brain" that orchestrated it. I am encouraged that the GOP is giving us a huge boost. And unless there is some horrific violence that will get Trump the sympathy vote for a short while, I predict there will be no bump from this charade."

Fiddler on the Roof
Some black nationalists and mostly white Republicans, of course, are blaming our current social discord on President Obama and, naturally, his ally and Democratic presumptive presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. I think the blamers insulting and wrong.
Obama tried to legislate with an obstructionist Republican majority Congress in both Houses. He is NOT a monarch. He needed the acquiescence of our first Constitutional branch, the Legislature. It is not that he did not want to pass, for example, the Dream Act. HE DID but could not get it passed so he resorted to Executive Orders and did the best he could. He saved SCOTUS which if Trump is elected will wax conservative for generations eradicating progress in race relations achieved over centuries. Obama took insult after insult he did not deserve. He did, I WHOLLY believe, NOT mean this discord to be so. In response to the Dallas and Baton Rouge killings of police Obama was at his finest. His addresses to the nation after these ugly tragedies were magnificently and eloquently written into history among the presidential best.
In my opinion, the one thing the president did in error that brought him an utterly disloyal obstructionist Republican Congressional majority is he did not sell his Affordable Care Act well enough. Republicans poisoned the well and then in 2010/2012 took back the Congress. The Financial collapse, the rescuing of the big banks and CEO’s handing themselves bonuses while the middle class died created anger and resentment that, in truth, belonged in Republican laps as the collapse did not happen on Obama’s watch. I will not countenance eviscerating this president without objection because he saved the nation against incredible odds!
We now, it seems, know the hater and killer of the Baton Rouge police had a Sovereign Citizen government loathing philosophy but, in fact, rare for that usually white right wing extremist group, he was a person of color. Trump will and is indicting both Obama and Hillary as responsible for the discord that hovers over our nation like a shroud. Again, Trump and his minions lie, lie, and lie some more trying to appeal to the lesser angels of our nation’s nature. The president has tried to unite. His voice of unification is magnificent.
The words that initially brought him into the national vision were unforgettable. He said at the 2004 Democratic convention in Obamian cadence: "This is not a white America. This is not a black America. This is the UNITED STATES of America!" Obama is the uniter-in-chief. I do not know what these Republican merchants of hate want from this man or, for that matter, Hillary but I HOPE their mendacity will not be a poison pill swallowed by the nation. Trump, if elected, will be the DIVIDER in chief.
I believe President Obama has been one of our greatest presidents who was placed in untenable situations not of his making. Despite this, he saved our nation from total collapse, rescued the auto industry, reduced unemployment, improved the economy and tried to end the war in Iraq. If he did not perfect his entire agenda successfully, as the psychiatrist, Robin Williams, said to Matt Damon, his patient for suppressed hauntings of an abusive father in the film Good Will Hunting, it was “NOT your [his] fault.”
Our nation stands by a single thread – the consent of the governed – but it is NOT an indestructible tie. Our democracy, imperfect but free, stands like the proverbial fiddler on the roof balancing his safety while playing a fiddle on top of a slanted roof. He risks his life if a wind blows, his balance compromised, and he falls. This is a metaphor for our nation in our time. If the precarious balance of this huge nation is destroyed by the true forces of division, perhaps then, we will realize just how much we have lost.
REDUNDANTLY I KNOW: GET OUT TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC UP AND DOWN TICKET. TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME. YOU MAY SEND THIS OPINION TO ANYONE YOU CHOOSE!

Mike Pence doesn’t believe smoking causes deaths?
FROM HILLARY CLINTON
Trump’s new running mate, Mike Pence, has an atrocious record of anti-woman, homophobic, extreme conservative governance.
He also has some absolutely absurd ideas that make him a natural partner for the Trump ticket. To wit:
Mike Pence doesn’t believe smoking causes deaths. He wrote on his website, “smoking doesn't kill. In fact, two out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness.” … last time I checked, that means one out of every three smokers DOES die from a smoking-related illness, right?
Mike Pence thinks climate change is a hoax. Again, in his own words: "Global warming is a myth. The global warming treaty is a disaster. There, I said it."
Mike Pence shut down the only HIV testing center in Scott County, Indiana -- in the name of preventing HIV/AIDS. In a huge surprise, that county later experienced what the press called “an exploding HIV outbreak.”
Mike Pence might not think smoking, climate change, or HIV pose serious threats -- but one thing is absolutely clear:
Mike Pence himself is a pretty serious threat to the American people.
Between the two of them, Trump and Pence could well be the most extreme right-wing ticket in the modern history of American politics -- and they’re just days away from accepting the Republican nominations.

The Tsunami Trump
The
Republican Party hasn’t been a productive part in a two-party democracy
for a long time, but a crushing loss this fall could force it to
change.
nytimes.com|By Thomas L. Friedman
I am praying for and writing about the same things Tom Friedman states in his wonderfully written editorial linked above. Until this very moment I thought what he said and its reality would prevail. The networks cannot, however, stop their blather talking Trump 24/7. They say the polls in swing states are drawing closer. If God forbid this monstrosity Trump who loves uneducated people and white supremacists wins I will be, unusual for me, at a loss for words to describe the disastrous and monumental tsunami that will befall our nation.
Benjamin Franklin said after the Constitution was formed and he was asked what type of government they had created. He answered famously "A Republic IF you can keep it." This is the most profound question of our time to see if in fact in an age of Trump we can. Our Republic with a Donald Trump at the helm is clearly is at risk. Will we keep it? Of that I am not so sure!

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!

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!

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.
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.

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/…/ ![]()
