Trump, The Chump, who should be dumped.

By Effey

Trump, The Chump, who should be dumped, shows absolutely no sign of understanding foreign policy.  For example: when he talks about Iraq he keeps saying we should have taken the oil, before we left Iraq.  He does not seem to either remember how many American lives we lost in Iraq or how many more American lives it would have cost the United States to take the oil.  Is he completely off his rocker?!

He may be 70 years old, but he talks like a 3 year old.

As Tim Kaine, the democratic candidate for Vice-President has recently said, "Donald Trump is a one man wrecking crew."  And that is not a compliment!!!

Trump's attitude to women is that of a 7 year old.  No sign of sensitivity when it comes to others except when somebody says something derogatory about him.  Then he cries like a baby that those people weren't "nice" to him.

Some time ago, I wrote a blog, entitled "People who live in glass houses…"  This phrase did not originate with me.  It was written by Geoffrey Chaucer for his play "Troilus and Criseyde" in 1385,  In other words "don't be a hypocrite, you will pay dearly for such an act of violent behavior.  Now the stones are being hurled back at him and the barrage of stones are hurting him. 

I recently saw our current President Barack Obama having a town hall meeting with veterans.  I simply love hearing this man speak because he thinks about what he will say before he blurts out his thoughts.  And when he speaks he is sensitive to the issue being discussed.

Donald Trump constantly reminds me of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler.  He says things which the people want to hear and he is constantly willing to abrogate agreements others made because he thinks he knows better.  Guess what!  Both of them, both Mussolini and Hitler, kept their promises.  They did what they had promised their masses they would do.  And the masses loved what they did, but then the masses had to pay the price for their adulation of these two leaders.  Millions of soldiers died in battle, and their countries were decimated by their enemies.  Mussolini realized what damage he had caused to his country and his fellow Italians.  So, he tried to escape to Switzerland but on the way he got caught by Italian partisans and was hung upside down from the roof of a gas station. 

Hitler also refused to listen to the advice of his generals and he wound up committing suicide in the Humboldt Bunker in Berlin.  When the Russians entered Berlin and found his dead body they immolated it with fire so there would be no trace left of him.

And look what happened to Muamar Gjaddafi of Libya not so long ago!  When his time of reckoning came the mobs beat him to death, even though he cried like a baby pleading for mercy. It was a horror show to watch.  When he was finally dead they buried him in an unknown place so nobody would be able to find his grave.

I am not claiming that the same fate will happen to Trump should he become our president (which I seriously doubt will ever happen).  But we, the people, will pay a high price for his actions.  It took America almost close to 400 years to recognize that African Americans are human beings, not chattel.  It took us a century to legislate that the African Americans have the same God give unalienable rights that Whites have.  When they bleed they hurt the same as others do. 

It took women almost a century to be given the same rights which men are given by the Constitution.  But no!  Donald Trump wants to go back in time and erase decades of progress.

Wake up America!  We need to move forward not backward.  The problems we have in America are in large part due to the Republicans who want time to stand still and care more about the very rich than the middle class.  Time doesn't stand still, it moves on.  If you stand still, you will be behind.  And we have lost in the last two decades largely, but not only, because of the Republican Party and their refusal to work with President Obama.  Instead they undermined all his attempts to make changes and policies to help the middle class and to make America better.  But instead they stifled him.  (As an example, just recently Congress overrode the President's veto for American citizens to sue Saudi Arabia).  So now the people who elected the Republicans are paying the price for their choices.  To elect Donald Trump will only add fuel to the fire which is already raging!

Stay tuned.

P.S.  Pass this blog on to a friend.  This election will decide the future of this country for decades to come.  We need an experienced friend of the people in the White House, not Donald Trump who has stiffed hundreds, if not thousands of people and who will in the end hurt us more than he will help.

The Morning after the Night Before

By Effey

Last night we witnessed the most important political event in modern American Presidential History: the first debate of the 2016 campaign for President of the United States.  It was important in two respects.  It was the first time a woman is the nominee of her political party running against one of the biggest liars in all of recent history as well as the biggest showman and slick snake oil salesman since P. T. (Phineas Taylor) Barnum (1810 –1891), Donald J. Trump.

Hillary Clinton swept the floor with The Don.  She goaded him and he fell for the bait and thereby unraveled his message losing in a big way.  His body language and his constant sniffles showed that he was visibly uncomfortable because he realized that he was losing against Hillary.  He also kept drinking water every few minutes.   Obviously his throat started to dry up.  This usually happens when a person gets scared or nervous.  Of course, in typical Trump fashion he claimed that he won the debate, contrary to what the viewers believed and what some straw polls, taken immediately after the debate, showed.  If Trump had a wooden nose like Pinocchio had it would stretch from New York to California.

Hillary got Donald really upset and made him very uncomfortable when she posed the question and supplied the answer at the same time why the Don would not release his tax returns.  She suggested something I myself have suggested in the past, namely that he probably did not pay any federal taxes at all, which he considered to be smart.

Personally, I find this offensive.  He is living off the taxes, we the little guys have to pay.  He claimed he did not like the government, yet he is profiting from the very government that gave him the opportunity to become wealthy.  He is mocking the hand which is feeding him.

I was really proud of Hillary.  She exposed him for what he really is, what the last republican candidate, the former governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney called "a phony and a fraud."

I used to have dark hair but when it looked like Hillary might lose the contest it turned white.  This morning, when I looked in the mirror, I saw it turning dark again.  My worries are over!

Kelley Anne Conway, his third and current campaign manager, better get paid off in full now, in the next couple of weeks, before she too gets stiffed by Donald!

P.T. Barnum once said "there is a sucker born every minute".  Trump' supporters still believe that he will rescue America and "make America great again".  Little do they realize that Donald is in this race for himself and no one else!  He wants to become President because he faces $650 million debt for his businesses and several potential lawsuits which could possibly put him in jail.  He has used $10 million dollars of campaign contributions to pay off some legal bills.  This, of course, is illegal and could possibly land him in jail.  Perhaps he believes that the Senate and the House of Representatives will again be in the majority and therefore will block any impeachment effort.  Of course he will always deny those allegations as he constantly does when confronted by the media about some irregularity.  He spins the allegations around by claiming that this is a good and smart business strategy.

Michael Bloomberg, the former independent mayor of New York said it best at the Democratic National Convention when he said "I am from New York.  And I know a con man when I see one!"

If Trump ever becomes president, it will be the darkest day in American History, because he will destroy the country and blame everybody else, except himself.  He has all the characteristics of a dictator.

Stay tuned.

9/11-The Day Which Changed America

By Effey

Once again we commemorated 9/11.  Once again we were reminded of how 9/11 transformed our lives.

We have quite a number of other occasions too, which we should commemorate, because thousands of Americans lost their lives on those occasions, December 7th, 1941, the day Japan attacked the United States Fleet at Pearl Harbor and triggered the second war of the 1940's, the Pacific War.

D-Day, June 6, 1944, the day when we invaded Europe to fight Nazi Germany, which had conquered most of Western Europe and was even threatening the United States.  Thousands of our troops lost their lives on that day and even more came home crippled for life.

But how do we commemorate those events?  By having major stores having big sales on those days and families having picnics on those days! 

Somewhere there is something wrong with this form of commemoration!  These anniversaries are not joyous occasions!  They are sad and somber days, which affected millions of American and their families.  Don't we owe more to the many who lost their lives in those battles?

And yes, there is also the Holocaust which cost 10 million victims to lose their lives.  It was not just the genocide of Jews.  It also affected disabled and chronically ill people.  It affected people who spoke out against the events of the time and millions more.

In Israel the government created a special Day of Remembrance, called "Yom HaShoah", which is the day the concentration camps of Germany were liberated.  On Yom HaShoah at 12 noon all sirens wail throughout Israel, traffic comes to a halt for one minute, people get out of their vehicles and stand in silence next to their vehicles.

In Germany many people wear black clothes and go to the cemeteries to put flowers on the graves of what seem to be the graves of soldiers (not necessarily their relatives). 

Is it asking too much to commemorate the lives of those who fought and died for our freedom in a more somber way than having picnics and sales?  Are we really that jaded?

"Recently I Heard That Trump Made a Deal…."

By Effey

"Recently I heard from someone who knows someone who works for Trump that Trump made a deal with his friend Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, to hack the DNC and the Whitehouse". 

"Don't ask me where I heard this!"

"Just trust me.  I heard it from someone very close to Donald Trump."

"It's really a disgrace!"  "Disgusting!"

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the biggest liar of them all?

Did you know that Donald Trumps businesses are $650 million in Debt.  Look it up in the New York Times.  "Trust me!"

"And did you also know that New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie for gave Donald $25 Million in Taxes which he owed the State of New Jersey when he bankrupted his Casino in New Jersey!"  "That was Pay for Play".  "Disgusting!"

How can a Casino go bankrupt when all they have to do is raise the odds on gambling?  Only a business expert who has no scruples and is used to cheating people out of their money can do something like this,  Actually I would call this expert a cheat, which is even worse than being a liar!

Did you know that Don's wife was originally an illegal immigrant to the United States?  I read it in the New York Post!

Imagine Melania being the First Lady.  This would be the first time a First Lady appeared on pictures in the nude.  It was all over the media.

Remember when John F. Kennedy was president?  One of the official pictures of him was in profile with his wife Jacqueline facing the camera.  It hung in every consulate and embassy overseas as well as in all Federal Buildings.  Now think of the Donald in profile and Melania facing the camera in the nude.  Wonderful!  What great PR this would be for the United States of America.  Imagine what the radical Islamists will make of this!  They are the ones who do not permit their wives to even show their faces.  In some sects the wives have to walk two steps behind their husbands!

Having fun, yet?

Stay tuned.

What do you think of his bogus health report?  Since when do 

gastroenteritis give health status reports?  When doctors check certain criteria of a person's health, they send samples of their cultures to a lab.  If the sample doesn't show signs of something wrong it is considered negative.  If there are signs of some infection it is written up as positive.  So when this quack said that Donald's health is positive, he meant that there is something wrong with his health.  But to say that the Don is the healthiest Candidate ever can't be correct, because this Quack could never have examined all the other previous Presidents.  It sounds like Donald dictated to the doctor what to write.  And even worse!  The American Medical Association doesn't even know this quack.  He is not registered with the AMA and most probably is working without a license!  Maybe he too, is an illegal immigrant.

Having fun yet?

Stay tuned!
