I'M BACK AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR A LOT HAS CHANGED

I know it has been quite awhile, however I finally have enough time and material to actually discuss some things.  There has not been a lot that has changed since my last post.  Especially, in the political arena.  Since my last post, the Republicans have gotten a stronger foothold in Congress and are still doing their best to make the legacy of President Obama a negative one.  There is still the blatant disrespect and utter disregard for the office of the President.  What strikes me most is the failure to change anything or thwart the White House Agenda. Basically, the Republicans have wasted time and taxpayer finances for absolutely nothing.

To bring things up to date, the race for the nomination of the Presidential Candidate is a side show at best.  The Republican front runner is Donald Trump.  The Republican Party needs to be scared shitless!  Ben Carson is holding down second place. Sarah Palin is jockeying for a cabinet position. If any of these three get in office, it's time to move to Canada or Denmark.  The Democrats are also somewhat interesting.  Bernie Sanders seems like a very viable candidate.  His platform seems solid and he is pissing off the right people (Wall Street).  Hillary Clinton is tied up with the email scandal and Joe Biden does not appear to be making a splash.  Elizabeth Warren would be my favorite, but she is not running.  Damn shame.

New Jersey Governor is on the campaign trail slinging mud and bullying anyone who challenges him at any of his speaking engagements and fund raisers.  Personally, I believe he was a victim of bullying himself when he was in high school.  I can visualize the jocks taking advantage of him.  Most bullies were bullied themselves somewhere in their past.  I probably would feel sorry for him in the past.  Now? Not so much.  He cares about no one but his wealthy cronies.  If you are poor, you are screwed. That is the basic Republican platform.  Most of the jobs have been shipped overseas for cheap labor.  Public sector jobs have been privatized.  We are in trouble and until this madness is stopped.  Prisons are privatized and the odd thing is that if they fail to make a certain profit, the state has to make up the difference. So, humans are once again a commodity.  Slavery is legal again.

Like I said, not a lot has changed.
