Losing but NOT lost. VOTE BLUE!

Every single thing that was put in place by Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and even a few from George W., which was enjoined to help people or bloc the oligarchs, has now been removed by a person doing this for his OWN GAIN, as well as that of his peerage. The PEOPLE are losing, but are NOT lost. We make up 67% of the citizenry. Two-thirds. This is a war that will be fought at the ballet-boxes of 2018. IF YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Are we Broke or Broken? NEITHER...

We hear the country is hurting financially. Our country, THE GREATEST ON EARTH, MUST CUT Social Support for the poor, children, homeless, Single-parents, the sick and feeble, the elderly, the mentally disturbed, the “Dreamers,” infrastructure, air, food safety, agriculture, Climate Change, pollution, and much more. Yet, we give massive tax cuts to those who can EASILY AFFORD TO DO WITHOUT THOSE CUTS , and raise the taxes on those who CANNOT. When Ronald Reagan cut taxes and we had difficulty, he was forced to raise taxes 11 times (although Republicans will say, falsely, " that never happened.") , in various areas to cover the discrepancies that arose. When George W. Bush cut taxes, HE BORROWED MONEY TO COVER THE WAR AND MORE, putting us in further debt to countries like China. The best plan would have a compromise capped between the 78% of JFK’s and the 39.5% of Reagan (perhaps 60%) , done in a gradual revenue decrease over a number of years. To get us used to it,...

Babyman has a conniption fit

There is no there with the Tyrant-in-Charge of our new autocracy. He usurped the Senate by taking over supervision of Mitch McConnell, as he did to Paul Ryan, a man who turned into a eunuch under Trump. I wonder what Trump’s offered these members of the Sycophant Party? Pelosi used her authority to determine risk in presenting the State of the Union, saying he could submit it in writing, the usual procedure until the 1970s. Babyman had a conniption fit, canceling Pelosi ’s plane ride to Afghanistan, offering support to our military, and gaining vital information from the front lines. This trip was to understand the issues better, an opportunity always allowed to Congressional leaders. He claimed it was due to the shutdown and just a publicity tour. However, that didn’t keep him from a photo op trip to Iraq or allowing a Republican delegation to go, or allowing Melania to fly to Mar-a-Lago, on U.S. aircraft, all during the shutdown.

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s). Techniques are to oppose state and Federal initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions, maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels. Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...
