I AM A CONFUSED AMERICAN

We are the richest nation on earth, yet most college kids think the Government will supply them with free college (these days.) ......ok
     Today.....or was it last week,  our government said no more wars, we were pulling out of the Middle East and TV news casts covered stories of GIs coming home to kids
     (Hurrah!!)
This week, I saw we're sending BACK , what? 6,000 more? That's more than what's stationed there NOW. I don't understand.
     Everybody hates the to candidates from the two major parties, and the third party from the Libertarians (?? - wassat?) can't find Hoboken on a map. Or, is it London.
     The only candidate running everybody seems to agree on is one VP Mr. Pence who has bearing, his presidential" This election year, a gaggle of Demos have vaulted the bird cage, fallen in behind Mr. Trump, and said so
     Likewise, maverick Republicans, purists all, have NOT endorsed Sir Donald, preferring to sniff their way through November and hold out for another miracle worker to fall through the clouds in -announced at present.
    Troubling. The chess pieces are not staying on their assigned locale, screwing ups.
     Meanwhile, the lame duck prez, is anything but, touring the country,  tossing wrenches into everything he can, for nearly everyone. Bill Clinton, yakking it up for Hillary (I think) makes a few caustic comments about Obama Care that ignites the faithful into frenzy, squared.
      " This ACA (ObamaCare) is crazy, the premiums are doubling January 1st, and the amount of care will drop significantly. That's CRAZY,"  he was quoted as saying.
      Watching the news on TV lately, you best have your hand-held around and dial in a version of Truth Checker The lies coming out of the tube could float a battleship.
       You heard it here.

POST ELECTION BLUES - I HEAR.........

I write  this on the morning of our national election. Depression over takes me as a victim of the last `18 months or so of this political flogging we have endured. The collection below has been my personal experience from my fellow citizens:

      Contractor who services my heater: " we ought to have a law that says politicking confined to six (6) months, like in Europe." I counter with the fact that the people in Congress make the same laws as term limits on their seats. Fat chance.
      News caster on MSNBC (left wing tv station touting Clinton and Socialism), " The public's enthusiasm for this, and confidence in the future has been exhausted. They (nationally) are depressed, disheartened and can't wait to put this behind them, as I."
      Twitter War locally, " If Clinton wins, break out your Muskets."
      Regional newspaper headlines: " depending on outcome, some churches look to SCOTUS" Decisions on political speech in Churches"
      Facebook posts and blog reports increased comments about leaving US on ultimate selection of certain candidate as next president, either candidate is mentioned.
      Sociologists, Psychologists remain silent as to current adverse public reactions to schism developing in American split personalities in Red vs Blue development in public persona.
      Most industry scholars are unsure to in the dark about general reactions of the populace on the outcome of elections to come.

DON TRUMP, character assassination thereof....

We all remember how actress TINA FEY set about destroying Governor Sarah Palin's character in the McCain/Palin run for office. Through the harassment of comedy, her skits  tore down the Governor to a point that the mindless among us MSNBC launches everything but the kitchen sink at him, which in their case, pretty weak.
     Anyway, they're back. This time, Don Trump is the target. Today, the net is loaded with negs courtesy of the Lord of objectivity, the Huffpost, at the controls of Adriana Huffington, butt buddies with Hillary. So take that and run with it.
     The same drek press is still harping on the Melania speech accusing her of swiping whole sections from Obama's prior tome. I thought we  had moved past that, but, then again, MSNBC figures they don't have much to talk about, they'll just keep driving nails in that coffin until we all get bored with it.
     Speaking of Melania and bad press from the internet, they're still banging on about her "NAKED" pictures she had taken when she was a nubile teen age model for a professional shoot for a magazine. She was NOT naked, she was on a professional job, that was about half her life ago, and by the way. BIG DEAL. Think about this. Who would you like to have in the White House helping to entertain visiting dignitaries from Russia, the Middle East, South America and the Pacific Rim?
     Melania Trump? Or somebody who rides a broom to work?
     Oh, the Muslim dad and Mom on the DNC platform? We take nothing away from their pain and suffering. We cannot imagine their anguish, Captain Kahn served us to the maximum doing more than his duty for us. However, statistically, Hillary & Co must have dug deep to find them, Muslim troops represent LESS THAN .0015 % of the entire armed forces from the US on station in the middle east. Grateful though we are that any of them are with us, we offer up thanks for Captain Kahn's sacrifice for our country.
      My point? Mr. Trump did read the Constitution. He and I attended the same Wharton School class and graduated in May `1968. The Constitution was part of the reading material at the time.
