Sunday Train has long supported the Steel Interstate concept ... but Sunday Train is "merely" an online activity composed of my online blogging in various forums and your discussion in various forums.

However, since 2013, I have also been involved in the advocacy of the Steel Interstate concept in a more direct collaboration organized by the Backbone Campaign, under the heading of "Solutionary Rail.

And the Backbone Campaign and Solutionary Rail team were successful in gaining the support of the Washington Labor Council for a feasibility study.

I am always confronted by many challenges that require more fortitude and understanding than when I am comfortably at home. That’s probably true for all of us, in some context or another. But I welcome the challenges as I’m sure you do too, because it’s the challenges that help us evolve. These challenging times - politically, socially, environmentally and independently are what make us humanely sublime.

Lots of love and good luck to everyone …

This is the famous Bixby letter:

Executive Mansion, Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.

Dear Madam,

I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln

I cannot even begin to make a comparison between the second Republican nominee for the presidency and the current one.

Bernie knew from the start that he was going to have a difficult, if not impossible task of beating the Clinton political machine.
But he campaigned as a Democrat in an effort to reform the Demonic Party from within.
This, I knew from the start would probably be an impossible task. His political demise was engineered by the malignant Democratic corporatocracy.

Two days ago I asked the question of Trump can get a clean bill of health, because I just listened to a speech he gave the same day that worried me. I read now some articles that show that some psychiatrists and mental health professionals share my feelings about Trump's psychological make-up.

Or maybe he went to a different Democratic Convention than the one I've been reading about:

I just saw this on Political Wire.

Democratic Unity

I thought it was funny!
