The 2016 Presidential Race in the United States has devolved into this - Voting America asking in the race between Trump vs Clinton: Who presents the smaller probability of igniting national and/or global chaos? Who am I least afraid of? Who presents the best chance of survival and making it to a course correction in 2020? Who is the least corrupt? Who is influenced by foreign governments less? Who has fewer corporate bribes in their till? Who alienates me the least?

I have said this for awhile now, it's free publicity and his supporters will not be persuaded to join you no matter what you say. The MSM loves Trump's crazy stuff, they will report everything he says so let people make up their own damn minds.

• Scary, Racist, Sexist, Bigoted Trump!
• World ending Trump!
• Big Red Nuclear Button Trump!
• Did you see/hear Trump's latest horror show!

Such a waste of effort if you ask me.

The incessant Russia/Putin propaganda we've been subjected to over the last four years along with the aggressive U.S. actions against Russia, i.e., Ukraine regime change, further encroachment of NATO on its borders, sanctions, the U.S. led Syria and Libya wars, etc., have led many to believe a military war with Russia might happen.

All I have to do is remember a little part of Bernie's campaign to feel confident in analyzing what information is coming out of Hillary's campaign.

The first debate, when Bernie tried very desperately to keep it on the issues - his "we don't give a damn about your emails" is still resonating with me as I struggle through this political morass to hold to the real issues, not the political infighting.

Hillary Clinton said, in her acceptance speech at the DNC convention the following: “America is great because America is good.” She couldn't be more wrong, as I explain in my latest video posted at my YouTube Channel:

One of the selling points to us hopeful 2008 dupes was that that the ACA (now better known as A Crappy Arrangement) would increase the number of people covered. This indeed happened. But BooHoO signed away the power which he briefly held, to regulate insurance companies in the most effective manner (Public option) in order to appease the Dreaded Republicans (DRs), who at that time were the minority party in both Chambers.

It's been a long time since I have blogged - around a year I think. So many names here I do not recognize, but I am thankful many from joanne's "What Happening" and joe's "Evening Blues" and the old Anti-War crowd are here. So a big hello to all of you I know and those I do not. You've all come together and built a great blog. I’ve done my DemExit (this month) and now have my official NO PARTY AFFIL in hand.

If you want a return to a neocon foreign policy, then Hillary is your kind of president.

It’s been on my mind for the better part of a year and I finally made my #DemExit last evening after having one last convention officially as a Democrat. I appreciate those of you whom I’ve had conversations with who’ve tried to get me to reconsider, so I feel an explanation is in order.

There were 28 transgender delegates at the Democratic National Convention this past week. They gathered on Thursday.

Twenty-three of the delegates gathered for the picture below.
