Many bloggers steer clear of political topics because they can become polarizing and full of frustration or even anger. (And therefore lose readers/viewers, the measure of 'success'.)
But what is the result? The blog becomes innocuous, insipid, and nothing more than escapist entertainment. Another direction for the blog to go is to the mundane and humdrum: "Another Tuesday", or "I Cooked Elbow Macaroni Today".
Every now and then, political developments can be surprising or even inspiring. Usually this shows up with war outcomes. Most recently, think of 1) Britain at Dunkirk, early in WW II, 2) Russian perserverance in 1812, after being invaded by Bonaparte, 3) Alfred the Great in his swamp while holding onto the "Last Kingdom," and for all time, 4) ancient Greece repelling the Persians.
Could Americans be facing a situation like that in the upcoming election? Do they realize that their back is against the wall, and that for their economy and way of life to survive they must knock down a foolish and deceitful president who is more loyal to Israel than to America?
Perhaps they will make a loud and unambiguous statement in this election. If so, I will be damn proud of them.
Make America Great again.....Vote Blue !

DeleteThe problem is the choices. Who is not compromised by AIPAC? The ones that quit or got primaried because of big money playing against them. The common man is too brainwashed to see they are manipulated. What's the point of voting when they put in who THEY want. What if they held an election and nobody voted? They would still put in the "winner".
