Just a shout out to a well known WSJ troll. Time to raise your glass of vintage Bordeaux to your success in bringing all of Trump’s foibles to light. Most folks found nothing damming. Cheers.

Looking at the red/blue counties on the election night totals on TV, very obvious assumptions can be made with crime rates. It is a horrible thing to say. Personally I equate the problem with jobs, or the lack of jobs.

So I do not know what “Core Math” is. However I have seen it as the butt of a few jokes. So I will just toss out what I think the core of the country’s math problem is. Let’s just say we have one third of a billion people in this country. Additionally our national debt is twenty trillion dollars. Admittedly round numbers, but close. That comes out to a staggering sixty thousand dollars of debt per person. Compare that with the debt of other nations.

Watching the candidates verbally abuse each other silly is par for the course. Additionally there is a complete media subculture that piles into the verbal free for all. There is a segment of the population that really enjoys this stuff.

What I do not care for is piling of the verbiage  onto the supporters of the different candidates. We all have valid reason for our choices. We can even have discourse if our minds are open. However the media seems to be pulling out the stops when it comes to the supporters of a certain candidate.

Ok, I said it. Nobody else has yet. Really surprised it has not come up, so I will spill the beans. When Donald was first talking about his wall, he mentioned a Big Beautiful Gate. Since then there has been a national fixation on the wall, and no mention of the big gate.

Ellis Island was a gate, was that good or bad?

Good question. Have not heard it asked yet. In my non-expert opinion it would be a line on a form that states “I will not engage or support Islamic Terrorism, or any other forms of Terrorism. Furthermore I promise to aid and assist the U.S. government in preventing Terrorism.”

Of course I am no expert, and have no inside information. Additionally any verbiage would need to be vetted by many organizations. Not sure what others think, this is just what I think about one of the most contentious issues of the campaign.

Yesterday’s results were forgone in my opinion. However I did take a moment to reflect on the implications. It is absolutely the beginning of a new era, revolutionary in my lifetime. It’s a also a reminder that our heroes are imperfect people. They have always been.

Heroes are born of circumstances, they are normal people in extraordinary circumstances. Confronted with an extraordinary situation a hero responds with a just reaction. It seems so simple to them, they cannot imagine any other response. Then, every once and a while, you have an extraordinary person in an extraordinary situation.

Almost 18 years ago, Monica Lewinsky, among other things was giving President Bill Clinton a headache. President Clinton’s response was to target an aspirin factory in the Sudan.

#HillaryTheWarMonger

Sure, Hillary has the biggest political machine. I would hazard to guess that it is a least an order of magnitude larger than the Trump machine. The goal of the political machine is to paint the opposition into an easy to label corner. Analytics aside, it is the sound bite that determines the outcome. In the movies it is the outsider who is the hero, it’s the renegade that takes out the corrupt regime. The media and the movies are used by the Democrat machine to empower the individual fantasy of taking on the organization.

It is the omnipresent Democratic machine that divides and conquers us. The flaw in the machine is the idolatry of those that take on the machine. So no, Donald will not take down the Democratic machine. It will be the Democratic machine that will take down the Democratic machine.

Funny, in my last post I compared myself to a declining minority that is under the influence. Kind of an allegory of the media perception of the Trump campaign. So what Does Hillary say? I am used to dealing with men who are off the reservation. Dang it, I am sitting in my teepee consoling myself for being relegated to loser status.

Sure Donald Trump attacks his opponents, however I do not see him attacking the supporters of his opponents. However Donald’s condemnation of terrorists and illegal criminals is viewed misogynist.

Trumps victory depends on the realization that we are all the same, and we should all be treated equally. To divide the electorate is a sure path to losing.
