A QUESTION OF ETHICS, CAMPAIGN FINANCING & THE CLINTON FOUNDATION a few extra words to follow   HILLARY CLINTON IS ALLEGED TO HAVE ACCEPTED DONATIONS FROM FOREIGN NATIONS A Film "Clinton Cash"   is to Premier on the Eve of the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia Author Peter Schweizer released Clinton Cash  last May has been made into a film. It is to appear at Cannes Film Festival (not as an official entry). It is an expose on the Clinton's and their finances since leaving office. Bill Clinton left Washington with millions in debt from legal fees. When he joined the speaking circuit as we know he made more speeches than Barack Obama on Inauguration Day. What Bill Clinton soon discovered is that various universities and other organizations were more than willing to pay exorbitant amounts for his speeches. The   number of speaking engagements increased in the ensuing years. It is an ea...

MILLENIALS KNOW WHAT'S UP, A DEMOCRATIC WHORE IS MILD    AND THIS NOUN WAS DIRECTED TO ALL OF CONGRESS Thursday, April 14, 2016  An 1889 Monument to George Washington or, Bernie's Arc De Triomphe By now you are aware that Paul Song, a longtime health care advocate had the audacity to invoke language unbecoming and "inappropriate" to political campaigns. Song was speaking to a crowd in excess of 27,000 young supporters. The media "who love the political gossip" (Bernie Sanders) and "not the issues" that face our nation. Here is Paul Song's remark. "I agree with Hillary, Medicare-for-all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic whores who are beholden to big pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us." Paul Song was speaking to the hypocrisy of all politicians who say they support the working class, but when it comes down to what they actually do is many times quite the opposite. ...

CABLE NEWS HAS MORE THAN A SUBTLE DISLIKE FOR BERNIE SANDERS, ELIZABETH WARREN, MICHAEL MOORE AND OTHERS  AS QUICKLY THE THRONGS OF SUPPORT APPEAR, THE QUICKER THEY ARE DISPATCHED TO A POLITICAL NEVER-NEVER LAND  THE MEDIA FOCUS BECOMES ONLY FOR THE SELECT FEW  FROM AN EARLIER POST / UPDATED   Thur sday, April 14, 2016 Early Wednesday afternoon I raised the notion of media bias . No it is not just a notion. It is real.  Money has always reared its' ugly head in American politics. With the end of WWII and beginning of the Cold War, special interests or lobbyists have lined the pockets of congress and other high officials to gain favor in military  and other government contracts. But, it evolved into the "pay to play" dynamic that breeds the enormous corruption we see today. This rather repulsive system of influence became acceptable to a point where only "registered lobbyists" are allowed near the Capitol. The media slowly bec...

  WHO IS THE BEST CANDIDATE?   In light of the media frenzy surrounding yesterday's flair up between the Democratic Candidates, I thought it best to edit, add and make revision to this post. For what it is worth, I combined some of the character traits of a President and grouped them.   The personal remarks of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton as to which is the best qualified are regrettable. Up to this time the Democrats have stuck to policy issues and how they contrast. Republicans remain mired in the muck of name calling, accusations and an embarrassing debate of the size of body parts.   I am a bit embarrassed for Bernie as he became a victim of Feeling his own Bern. Senator Sanders voiced his reply to the remarks of Hillary Clinton in Philadelphia. Bernie over-reacted to the attack by the wording in a Clinton campaign outline of strategy. Both have since retracted and restated the intention of their words. It is interesting I find how all ...
