TONIGHT'S DEBATE: A FAILURE OF TWO PARTIES NO MATTER HOW YOU CUT IT, AMERICA IS SHORT CHANGED WITH THE MOST UNFAVORABLE CANDIDATES IN MEMORY A LEGACY NOT OF BUILDING BUT IMPLOSION   September 26, 2016 As 80 - 100 million Americans tune into the debate this evening there is one truth that should become evident. Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the two most polarizing candidates to emerge from our election process. Over the past eighteen months the selection of Democratic and Republican is an embarrassment and a sham.

As all of this became breaking news on all the networks, it begged the question, "Is that all there is?" I began digging deeper and research the Clinton Foundation , its history and a real story. Hillary used her position as Secretary to solicit or accept foreign contributions to the Fou...

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE,  BUT NOT A DROP SAFE TO DRINK  FLINT, MI-- BREAKING NEWS: SNYDER MEETS WITH FLINT MAYOR and describes the discussion as informative, cooperative and promises to continue to take steps in resolving the problem. And not just this issue, but moving Flint forward overall. Flint Mayor declares "A great day for Flint." Just when I thought it was safe to enter the waters of Presidential politics and the subject of income inequality, Governor Snyder and Flint, Michigan "Toxic Water Crisis" now grabs national attention. When Did I Know? I think I answered that.  The crisis began over a year ago when the Flint City Emergency Manager took a cost cutting measure by switching Flint's drinking water from Great Lake Huron to that of the Flint River. For decades the river has been subject to industrial pollution. This is a "no-brainer" to anyone with even a basic understanding of the environment. The logical question...
