If you have the time, look at what other countries, specifically those that were thought to be our Allies, are saying about the United States of America! It is not flattering, even though some of those world leaders do flatter Trump to his face! Why? Because they know they can get major concessions from him if they tell him how great he is! But when NATO gets together, they do not wait on our President anymore.

Trump, since taking office this second time, has fired most of the military leaders with the most expertise! He has replaced them with loyalists, people with no expertise in the areas of the leaders they are replacing. Point in fact, General Timothy Haugh, who was the Director of the National Security Agency, and the Commander of U.S. Cyber Command until he was dismissed by Trump. Why, because he was appointed initially by Biden, so the right did not think he would be a Trump loyalist! Cyber experts warned we were rolling out the red carpet for attacks, especially by Russia! He had over 30 years of experience, and we are weakened by his departure. He also had worked for both Democratic and Republican Presidents and was not political!

If you are paying attention, the same thing has happened to every agency and organization within Trump’s thrall! The World Health Organization, Department of Education, the Council on Homelessness, Voice of America, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, amongst a plethora of others! Why you ask, because they either place a light on the scams of this president, allow health organizatons to charge us more, or contain the greed of large corporations from polluting as they wish by destroying habitat, clogging our air, stream, rivers, and ocean with their waste, as Trump has weakened the rules and laws that control this kind of pollution! He has withdrawn from the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Environment Program, basically anything that limits big business from making more profit at the expense of our health and well-being.

Trump and his new Department of War and Hegseth are war criminals. Trump is not allowed to declare war, that is a power exclusively granted to Congress. Even if I believed that he was waging war on drug cartels by killing people and sinking boats, he is not showing cause! And let’s say that these boats, which have not got the reach to get to our shores, by the way, were captured instead of blown out of the water, would we not get a whole hell of a lot more information to be used against cartels!

I could go on, but I know when I have reached the limit of how much the more loyal of my readers will go! Just be aware that what is happening is not normal, and I have not even mentioned the masked men ripping people out of schools, their homes, jobs, and off the streets with no probable cause and sending them to foreign prisons without trial or even a hearing. That is not deportation, that is kidnapping and concentration camps!

The Trump Administration sets out to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government and private sector! Companies like Google, Amazon, Meta, and some Wall Street banks have decided to go along with Trump and trash their DEI-related policies and pledges!

            But some have stood their ground. At Apple’s annual shareholder meeting on Feb. 25, investors rejected the measure, with 97% of votes cast against it.

Ben and Jerry’s unsurprisingly, when it comes to DEI, the ice cream company has no plans to roll back or slash its efforts!

Cosco shareholders voted against the proposal at Costco’s annual shareholder meeting on Jan. 23, with 98% votes cast against it!

DELTA AIRLINES maintained its line on DEI efforts last month. “DEI is about talent, and that’s been our focus! 

Clothing retailer Francesca’s affirmed its commitment to DEI in a LinkedIn post earlier this month. “DEI is not an abbreviation—it’s a Human Strategy, and respect and inclusion are good for business,” the post said.

JP MORGAN CHASE CEO Jamie Dimon reaffirmed the bank’s support of DEI! The bank—the largest in the U.S.—will continue its outreach to Black, Hispanic, LGBTQ+, veteran, and disabled communities, Dimon said.

Cosmetics company Lush wanted its message on DEI to be heard—and smelled—putting out three new bath bombs named Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 

Microsoft has not made any moves to repeal its DEI policies, and put forward the business case for supporting diversity and inclusion practices!

Patagonia said that it will not scale back its DEI policies. “We stand firm in support of our justice, equity and antiracism policies and practices,” the outdoor apparel company said in a statement.

            I myself cannot think of any reason not to be inclusive or be afraid of DEI policies. If the most qualified or talented person is available, why would you hire someone less qualified just because they meet some outdated good ole boy strategy about what is acceptable? Me thinks Trump and his boys protest too much! Usually, the person making the most noise is trying to cover something up! You all know that is true!

Trump’s proposal to erect a Tariff wall, promising billions of dollars and a wealthier nation, is a contradiction in itself.  The following is an excerpt from a reliable source, Heather Cox Richardson.

“This is a deliberate lie. Tariffs are essentially taxes on imported products, and they are paid not by foreign countries but by American consumers. Economists warn that Trump’s tariff plan would cost a typical family an average of more than $2,600 a year, with poorer families hardest hit; spike inflation as high as 20%; result in 50,000 to 70,000 fewer jobs created each month; slow economic growth; and add about $5.8 trillion in deficits over ten years. It would tank an economy that under the Biden administration, which has used tariffs selectively to protect new industries and stop unfair trade practices, has boomed.” 

Back to John Love! Tariffs over the years have always been bad for you and me, the consumer! Largely responsible for the famous Wall Street Crash and the main reason for the Great Depression! Trump is looking out for Trump, plain and simple, in everything he does. Tariffs do have their uses. They can be used to protect American jobs and manufacturing, but they must be used in specific ways, like surgery, never as a tariff wall. As was mentioned above, between the quotation marks!

Trump has told so many lies during this election campaign that even the most ardent Trump supporter cannot be unaware! Just common sense will tell you that no one brought over-the-border illegals to vote in any election. For one, it is a federal crime; two, all kinds of false documentation would be needed for each individual, requiring a vast manufacturing structure impossible to conceal. Plus, red states would be all over any such activity, and we would know about it. Actually, so would blue states; as I said, it is a federal crime; Trump lies every day, multiple times a day; it is who he is. We cannot have such a morally corrupt man in the white house. He is also not an educated man; just open your ears and listen to him speak! He only took real estate classes at Wharton and was even refused entrance for lack of grades until his brother interceded. Why do you think he has threatened to sue anyone for releasing his grades? Think about it!

The more you see Trump speaking in public, the more noticeable his mental decline. Even weeks ago, in a short statement, he thought he was running against former President Obama. Just this weekend, he confused Nikki Haley, who is competing with him for the GOP nomination, with Nancy Pelosi! He has confused countries and the leaders of those countries, recently. 

He is, of course, still on about how the last election for president was stolen from him. No evidence has been found that it happened! Even his party officials and attorney general told him no interference or skullduggery had happened! He is claiming banks are all crooked now because the big banks will not loan him money, as his financial records are not accurate, and he is not able to back his loans with the financial data required. 

Almost everything out of the Trump camp, especially if uttered by him, is exaggerated or patently untrue. Republicans are claiming that education is being used to turn our kids and young adults away from the party and God. Education is how you determine what your vote means, what your congress is doing, and how things work in the world. The last thing they want is an informed public, so education has to be attacked. Along that same line, some of our politicians have started whitewashing our history, even changing it, to make our country seem to be what it is not. Whenever you start changing or even deleting our history, you cheat us out of knowing what not to repeat in the future and how best not to fail! You must know where you have failed and what mistakes were made to plan a better future. I do not believe that a lot of the GOP believe that! Book bannings are on the rise. To Kill a Mockingbird is an example of a banned book. One of the classics. A Color Purple, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Grapes of Wrath are a few examples. These books are based on our country’s past, and we need to experience them and study the era that spawned them. Then come to your own conclusion about how we make ourselves better.

Trump is dangerous; he is a bully, and he is attracted to men who rule without democracy getting in the way! I believe he was always challenged morally, and his mental acuity is that of the trickster, not statesman, and even that mental acuity is now fading fast!

So you are driving down the road, and your President is having a fit in the car, trying to grab the steering wheel and lunging at a secret service agent because he wanted to go back to the White House after the Stop the Steal rally and take his place as President again. So even though the agents this happened to told several people this story, they now deny it happened. It was reported that after Trump was taken back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., he had a fit and through his lunch up against the wall! So the two agents involved are Trump loyalists, but then why would they tell this story in the first place! They would not have. And the text messages would not have disappeared for that time frame either! I mean, what an unbelievable farce that was! Just one example of many of a man who is not entirely sane!

Donald Trump admitted that after he flew to Iraq aboard Air Force One, he wanted to give himself the Medal of Honor — the country’s highest award for military valor in action — but was told he wasn’t allowed to! This is a man who definitely suffers from a narcissistic mental disorder. Just think about it logically for just a second. Is this the kind of thinking you want in a world leader! I think not!

Trump has at least 19 accusations of sexual assault. If you read the accounts, they have one thing in common in almost all instances. There was no conversation, just a grab, a kiss, or even a rape, without consent, or even flirting beforehand! It was always sudden and without remorse of any kind. Two cases were for actual rape, and one of those was an underage girl at a Jeffrey Epstein party. The other is a full-grown woman in a department store. From his mouth direct from the transcript live on air from the Billy Bush interview; Trump: “Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Bush: Whatever you want.Trump: Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” 

Again, how do you want this man representing you and your country to the world? This man hides his grades while claiming to be a genius. Trump hides his taxes, and it is known he misrepresents his holdings and may get his financial backing from Russian oligarchs. Hence his fight to keep his finances and taxes a secret. How much influence do foreign investors have over such a man? You need to know before you walk up to a ballot box and check off his name! He is famous for not paying his contractors or making them sue to get their money and paying pennies on the dollar for services rendered! He has a track record of racism and has been sued by the federal gov’t twice over this kind of action in his business practices.

I do not understand with the information available how you, or anyone, could entertain the idea of letting this man anywhere near the reins of power! I do not think he should be allowed to roam free, and I am not the only one to think that! I ask in the title, what would you do?

HISTORY SAYS NOT:

In 1973, Trump was accused by the Justice Department of violations of the Fair Housing Act in the operation of 39 buildings. He and his father before him were not renting or selling to people of color. The Department said that black “testers” were sent to more than half a dozen buildings and were denied apartments, but a similar white tester would then be offered an apartment in the same building. Trump countersued the federal agency, because that is what he does, but the judge threw it out as having no merit, Trump settled out of court!

In 1985, New York City brought a lawsuit against Trump for allegedly using tactics to force out tenants of 100 Central Park South because he wanted to demolish it to pursue his own interests. Trump kept that one in the courts for ten years before he was finally denied permission to tear it down!This long term tactic is common for Trump, he hopes the opposing side will run out of money and time, and he will win by default! It did not work this time however!

In 1988, the Justice Department sued Trump for violating procedures related to public notifications when buying voting stock in a company related to his attempted takeovers! That one cost him a fine of 750,000!

In late 1990, Trump was sued for $2 million by a business analyst for defamation, and Trump settled out of court.

In 1991, Trump Plaza was fined $200,000 by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission for moving African American and female employees from craps tables in order to accommodate high roller Robert LiButti, a mob figure and alleged John Gotti associate!

Again In 1991, one of Trump’s casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, was found guilty of circumventing state regulations about casino financing when Donald Trump’s father bought $3.5 million in chips that he had no plans to gamble! Another time Daddy attempted to bail him out failure!

Sexual misconduct:

In 1993, Vera Coking sued Trump and his demolition contractor for damage to her home during construction of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.[33] In 1997, she dropped the suit against Trump and settled with his contractor for $90,000.[34] Coking had refused to sell her boarding house, which Trump did not want sitting next to his new hotel! She ultimately won a 1998 Supreme Court decision that prevented Atlantic City from using eminent domain to condemn her property!

In 1992, Trump sued ex-wife Ivana Trump for not honoring a gag clause in their divorce agreement. The divorce was granted on grounds that Ivana claimed Donald Trump’s treatment of her was “cruel and inhuman treatment! Which she revealed in a book she wrote!  Trump did win the gag order, but the truth was out there!

A sexual assault claim from 1994 for child rape was filed against Trump on October 14, 2016! His lawyers got the case suspended for procedural errors, it was then refiled, it has remained in suspension since 2016. Money talks and rapists walk! It has not been thrown out, however!

In April 1997, Jill Harth Houraney filed a $125,000,000 lawsuit against Trump for sexual harassment in 1993, claiming he “‘groped’ her under her dress and told her he wanted to make her his ‘sex slave.” Harth voluntarily withdrew the suit when her husband settled a parallel case. In other words, Trump paid out behind closed doors.

In all, 26 women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct!

In other news:

In 2000, Donald Trump paid $250,000 to settle fines related to his being charged with circumventing state law lobbying against government approval of plans to construct an Indian-run casino in the Catskills, which would have diminished casino traffic to Trump’s casinos in Atlantic City!

I could go on, but as Trump is the most litigious businessman in history that I can find, it would take way too much of your time! He has sued actual countries like Scotland, and lost of course. Look up windmills and Trump, for example!

My point, Trump is not a good businessperson! Has been propped up by daddy! He is a racist, even the Federal government has said so! He is not a moral man; the rape case I mentioned was of a thirteen year old at a party thrown by child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, not to mention the other 26 women making complaints against him. No I do not have proof, only what all of these woman and a child have said! But where there is horseshit, there are usually horses to be found!

You can access my blog about the big lie, and others about Trump from this same site. So in short, when you support this man, you are supporting rape, molestation, and criminal activity on a large scale. So let’s say, I discount some of this just to be fair to the Trump supporters, you should still be shunning this man, not helping him in any shape or fashion. If you do, you are supporting evil, simple as that.  

Suppose you look at a map indicating which states are highly vaccinated and which are barely vaccinated. In that case, it looks just like a political map of Blue (DEM) and Red (GOP) states just before an election! I’ll let you draw your own conclusions here, but be aware, people are dying, and things are heating up again, plus the variant is becoming more widespread!

This can be checked again and again, city by city. The people now getting sick and having to be hospitalized are almost entirely unvaccinated! The Governor of Arizona has ordered schools with unvaccinated school children who have been directly exposed to COVID- 19 not to be forced to quarantine! The school districts are fighting back and so far have not changed their policy. But this is an example of GOP leadership putting lives at risk for politics! Afraid to lose their fanatical Trump-based support even at the cost of children’s lives! How in the hell have we allowed this to occur!

The false information about the COVID-19 vaccines is rampant! And has been pushed by several GOP members and media companies like FOX News! This information is killing people, plain and simple! The fact that, especially in Florida, they bad-mouth Dr. Anthony Fauci is because the truth hurts! But politicians in the state do not want to disenfranchise themselves from the state’s massive population of Trump zealots. So they put lives in danger! Yes, they will kill you rather than endanger their political future. And that rings true of all GOP-led states!

You will hear people like Pence telling you that since his administration, we have had runaway spending. Well, here is a little truth for you. Trump downplayed the virus and held up spending to make his numbers look better, killing thousands unnecessarily with Pence support, I might add! Our current President did not neglect his duty for the sake of looking good; he attacked the root of our problem, which took money! And with unprecedented success, well, except in GOP-run states! People are dying in more significant numbers in states where the GOP is in charge! That alone should tell you where the truth lies.

So, since Trump and his family are vaccinated, why is he not telling his base that it is safe and necessary? The same reason I have already talked about, his base! He is afraid to antagonize them! And he does not care about people! So as long as he is convinced by letting them die, he will maintain more of their support overall; well, let them die! And this is just plain common sense, not politics! If we had the same misinformation campaign, politically motivated back in the day, we would still be losing the war against polio and other eradicated diseases.

When you don’t mask up, when you do not quarantine when exposed, when you do not get fully vaccinated, you are risking thousands! You only need to do three things. Get vaccinated, wear masks where it is mandated, and isolate if you know you have been exposed! If you do, we win; if you don’t, we die, simple logic. It would help if you were not making life and death decisions based on your politics!

In case the Russian spy drama overly sidetracked anyone, the following bills have been introduced quietly, I might add.

 

  1. HR 861 Terminate the Environmental Protection Agency. This means that Lake Michigan will be totally poisoned in a year. The great Lakes are basically static. They all only empty through one river, the St. Lawrence, so they retain pollutants. Lake Michigan unfortunately lies within U.S. boundaries with a multitude of mills, heavy populations near the shores, so heavy pollution. The lake was thought to be beyond saving, but due to efforts by the EPA it is just now starting to recover. Now heaven forbid that corporate America has to spend some profit and not dump their pollutants untreated into this body of water. The Great Lakes are the largest source of fresh water on the planet, and all of them are polluted to one extent or the other!

 

  1. HR 610 Vouchers for Public Education
! Voucher programs have shown to be unsuccessful. But what is most important for you to know, the voucher program will only allow you to put your child back into the same public program, but with a lot less money available to perform its duties. It does mean the rich can now save a buck sending their children to private schools that you still cannot afford, while your child gets even less of an education than before!            
  2. HR 899 Terminates the Department of Education
! So yes, they need to terminate anyone that might forewarn you about the ass kicking you are about to take!
  1. HJR 69 Repeal Rule Protecting Wildlife
! I would thing that should be self evident, but it will not be!
  1. HR 370 Repeal Affordable Care Act! Ok, I won’t defend it, but make sure you do not let them remove it until you understand perfectly what it is you are getting. You know the GOP are claiming they have written a tremendous, wonderful, the best of the best, most fabulous replacement for the ACA. It is an insult to basic intelligence; it is nothing more than a tax break for the wealthy while ripping healthcare away from millions. Just be wary folks. It ain’t whacha think!


6. HR 354 Defund Planned Parenthood
! This entity is under attack because of abortions. But it does not use funds from the government to fund any abortions. So now all you are doing is taking needed medical help from people who cannot get it elsewhere.

  1. HR 785 National Right to Work (this one ends unions) If you are one of those who hate unions, well you have no idea what unions have done for you, even if you and yours were never in one!
  1. HR 83 Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Bill
  1. HR 147 Criminalizing Abortion (“Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act”)
 Are we going all the way back to telling a woman to only speak with permission, to take care of the husbands needs above her own, and obey your man, or men if you don’t have your own man? I am a man, and even I know that is bullshit!
  1. HR 808 Sanctions against Iran

Since I started writing this the GOP has defunded feeding old people and children in need! The President just announced he will dismantle anything and everything that President Obama set in motion to fight climate change. That includes weather satellites controlled by NASA! He figures what you can’t see he can lie to you about! His meetings with leaders of countries that are members of NATO make it obvious he does not even understand how NATO works!

Look, I follow the writings of several highly educated people, Diane Ravich, for example, because she is plugged in way better than I am! Actually I don’t even know where the cord is! I recommend her to you, especially if you are in education. http://dianeravitch.com

I have no formal degrees. I am an avid reader, I do have a lot of technical training, some college, but as I said I never turned any of that into a formal degree unless Master Mechanic counts. However there is a humane way to live, a right and wrong that to my way of thinking is universal, it is not something you can parse out or budget out of existence. Kids, older folk, anyone up against it really, deserve to eat, stay warm, and live. (inside) Now that does not mean luxury by any means, but we, as humans, with a brain, conscience, and basic intelligence should not be debating this. As one of the richest countries in the world with all of the attributes that entails, it should just take care of its citizens, period. We can get into how we break the cycle of poverty, the dumbing down of America, the huge differences between poverty, middle class, and the upper crust, if you will, but we don’t put our basic humanity on a shelf while we figure it out! It does not take a genius to figure out right from wrong. I served my country, Sgt. USMC two tours in Nam as an avionics tech. I worked for 40 years. I never went on welfare and I worked for the same company for 30 years as a civilian before I got my second job! I am a proud liberal because I have a brain, a conscience, and I know right from wrong. I also know the GOP is totally out of touch with the people they are supposed to represent, and the current President lied to you big time and has mental problems. As I said before I do not have a degree, in psychology or any other medical field, but I know a rabid dog when I see one!

 

Studies done to try and understand why school shootings are on the rise, why certain states have a higher ratio, and why a group of states have none at all! Research highlights the need for a national registry to monitor school shootings in order to better inform the debate over its causes and how to prevent these tragic events.

However independent studies do show some interesting leads into why they are more prevalent in some states than others. The states with no school shootings at all have something in common. I list them below.

Mandatory background checks for gun and ammunition purchases.
Higher spending on mental health.
Higher spending on K-12 education.

Now please do not jump on the band wagon that equates mandatory background checks for gun and ammunition purchases to mean someone is taking your guns away from you. No! It only means these states are looking at your background for criminal or psychotic histories and not selling guns to these individuals. These states are also spending more money on mental health and public K-12 education than other states that do have shootings.

So the states with the highest percentage of shootings, and the highest increase in the rate these shootings take place, all have one thing in common. Poor background checks for gun and ammunition purchases, low expenditures for mental health in the state, and lower spending on K-12 education. Georgia had the greatest number, with 15 school shootings. Florida and Texas each had 14. There were 12 school shootings in North Carolina and 10 in Tennessee.

Here comes my point. Your new cabinet possibilities that President elect Trump is appointing are against just this sort of spending, all of it! Trump actually does not think a department of education is even necessary, and said so. Betsy DeVos, his pick for Secretary of Education has a long and public distain for public education, and works to syphon money out of public K-12 schools to private schools! She also supports an organization  that thinks child labor laws should be abolished, and instead of wasting money educating them they should work along side adults in mines and other other like jobs because that teaches them things too, lets them earn money, and youth like danger anyway! So basically if your not wealthy enough to afford private school, you should join a child labor force. The other appointees for the other departments all have disdain for the federal organizations they will run. Rick Perry comes to mind. He is slated to become the new Secretary  of  Energy. A department he has said he does not think should even exist!. He has no background in Energy except for maybe how to pull it out of the ground. I did enjoy him on Dancing With The Stars, seemed like a nice guy! I am not sure that qualified him to replace an actual atomic scientist currently in the position!  This is similar to almost every appointee Trump is nominating, as far as their disdain for the departments they will be running goes!

School shootings on the rise is just the tip of a very big iceberg. You can cry big government all you want, and sure, it has some serious faults, but wait until the checks and balances on the 1% are removed, you will not like it, not even a little. I predict you will hate it, but by then our education of our children will have declined to even lower levels, and their safety be even more threatened! 

 

 

 

(A New Sub Genus of Human Beings)

Prevarication means that the subject under scrutiny is a lie. A prevaricator is the person or persons extolling the lie. In this case I am using it to describe a whole new species of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Yes look it up, Homo Sapiens Sapiens is the correct nomenclature for modern humans, to differentiate us from our direct descendants, Homo Sapiens Idalta. We are mistakenly called carnivores. We are of course carnivores, but since we also each veggies, we are more accurately described as omnivores, basically we eat everything!

So my premise is this. Since we can be classified by what we put in our mouths, we should also be classified by what comes out! Now all mammals, which includes humanity, also expel air, mostly carbon dioxide, in some cases spittle, and in extreme cases vomit when we have either contracted an illness or omnivored ourselves on just a little too much too fast!

However this premise will be based on the vocal content of what comes out of the mouths of modern Homo Sapiens Sapiens either vocally or in certain cases in writing to be vocalized later! Since the dawn of time, or since men and women learned to speak, and then later to write, prevarications have been told. Now sometimes this is just a storyteller’s way of making the story more enjoyable for his audience, the audience is generally aware, so we call this fiction or artistic license! It is generally accepted, even encouraged in writers of novels of fiction. Even plays and literary works based on actual historical events will have fictional sub plots to make them more interesting or exciting! All of this is expected and accepted.

But there is now a more sinister Homo Sapien out there. It is a Homo Sapien belonging to the family Homo Sapiens Sapiens, but does not know what the truth is anymore, or even if they did know they where lying the first time they told the prevarication, after they repeated it two or three times, their brain flips a switch and accepts that what they are saying is the truth! Unbelievable you say! Well there is more! There are receptors to this kind of vocal prevarication within the same classification. Although they did not invent the lie, just like the originator, after they have heard it two or three times they also believe it! Even when evidence to the contrary is given, if it does not align with what they prefer to believe, they still cling to the prevarication. The truth has no weight with either the originator of the prevarication, or the receptor of such information!

So these individuals need a new classification, because there are millions, maybe even a billion or so of the 7.8 billion on the planet who fall into this new classification! This new classification would be Homo Sapiens Prevaricator! Now this classification can be variable! Just like some choose to be vegetarians and give up being carnivores, education can protect you from this affliction. Education in world history is of particular importance, in geology, the study of early man and how we eventually evolved into what we are today can effect whether or not we will become a member of this new classification. And please forget monkeys when considering evolution, we did not evolve from monkeys, and no real scientist ever said we did! We can get into that some other time! Other sciences such as biology, physics, chemistry, aerospace, all are important! All education in general, so you will know that Columbus did not discover America, for example! Never even laid eyes on it or set foot upon its shores! The educated in the time of Columbus did not even think the world was flat; it had been common knowledge that it was round a long time before Columbus set sail. He was actually looking for a faster way to the East Indies by heading west rather than all the way around Africa! They just did not know there was a whole continent in their way, or the vastness of the planet earth! So if all of these things are understood by having an education system that is not rated near the bottom of the pile compared to other industrialized nations as ours is, it will help you understand the world around you! Most importantly it will help to better recognize the prevarication as it is uttered!

I will give an example of why just history, the real history of the world is so important. It can shed light on why our enemies are our enemies and point to ways to alleviate at least some of the animosity! Ancient Persia was a center of science, math, and language, education was alive and flourishing in what is now Iran! Our modern plumbing and irrigation, road building, almost all science, was influenced by Persians, or some of the greatest scientists of the time who lived and worked in Persia. You see, when it was one of the greatest and largest regions on the planet; they welcomed all religions and all nationalities of people, including the Jews, into their schools, universities, and halls of science. Then as time passed they had what we are now experiencing, their versions of Limbaugh, Hannity, Fox News, and yes their Trumps. Science and education was placing religion on the back seat and power was not concentrated as it once was. So in order for a small percent of the population to gain control of the empire, this smaller influential group taught them to fear their neighbors, to ignore science and education, put all their energy into their religion! Education of all types was frowned on because they did not want thinkers, they wanted a large force of people they could control and prosper from. Then they concluded that it could only be one specific type of religion, this so that even a smaller percentile could concentrate their power over the rest of population! Everyone in the empire, even the known world for that matter, had to accept their particular brand of religion or face holy war! So now you have what is now called Iran instead of the largest most powerful forward thinking empire on earth. Sound familiar? You bet it does! We have our 1%, the methods of control are more subtle, more in tune with mass media outlets and politicians who can be bought to maintain their control!

So register to vote, all of you! There is no such thing as two bad choices when it comes to this presidential election. No matter how much you dislike Hillary, she is at the very least qualified for the job! We must reverse the trend I have been talking about in this article or this nation is headed for a downward spiral we will not be able to recover from. And you also need to pay attention to your senate and house seats. We cannot have a do nothing congress again! We need to get moving and Trump is not the man to it. He will run this country into the ground. He is a con man, an egotistical narcissistic one at that, and cannot be given the reins of power! As my story points out, he wants to rule with intimidation and fear. He wants to narrow the power in this country to a very specific group by fomenting hate of anyone not like himself! We have to learn to fact check, not just think someone is what lobbyists or talk show host says a person is. Ask for actual proof, if all you get is, well I feel this must be true, or I heard this, I heard this a lot, that means that what you just heard is made up! It is a prevarication by that new portion of humanity I call Homo Sapien Prevaricator. Just keep in mind that none of our living Presidents, both Democratic and Republican, will endorse Trump. That every major country in the world does not understand why Trump is even being considered for President! That he changes policy every week or so as his old ones get him into trouble, that he knows nothing about world politics, or the history that goes along with understanding it. He knows no science, he is not well read, well he does own a copy of Hitler’s speeches, if that is any indication! Almost all of Trumps bad actions can be verified with facts. Almost all of Hillary’s supposed bad actions have no basis in fact. Email is one, I give you that, but not as bad it is being made to seem. Benghazi, well even the House Intelligence Committee, controlled by Republicans by the way, exonerated Hillary completely. She actually had been trying to get congress to increase the monies for the security at Embassies and missions for months on end, but was always stopped by the GOP. So who is responsible again? Actually that report, over two years in the making torched all the conspiracy theories put forth by the GOP members. You go down the list of supposed Hillary crimes there is no evidence of any kind! Just the innuendo and prevarications told by her enemies and her political opponents. A crime in itself!
