Like many others, I have been hanging on every statement made by Bernie and his campaign since the Primaries 'ended'. He has chosen his words carefully, using semantics which most of the time leave room for an interpretation other than "he will eventually concede and endorse".

Last week I wrote about my son being drug tested for a OJT program for people with disabilities. I Can't Explain This to My Son.

Hillary Clinton has admitted her past mistakes.
One: admitting your mistakes when all the data shows you that they were indeed mistakes is hardly groundbreaking.
Two: admitting a mistake is not the same thing as learning from it
The ideal of course is not making the mistake in the first place based upon the data at the time especially when many others warn that it would be a mistake in the first place.

I miss an evening open thread and don't know where to put this as a comment. But I wanted to point to this interview. Thus this short post:

One important battle for election integrity is being waged by the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus
In particular there is H.R. 5131 Verifying Optimal Tools for Elections or “VOTE” Act of 2016.
by Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia). Let your local representatives know that you are aware of the movement toward honest elections and you expect him or her to come on board.
You want proof DNC was fixing the election for Hillary?
