Late Start!

It should not be out of the ordinary to be concerned about the Political race revving up, after the entire populace snoozed through the primaries. Well it is gearing up, and honestly it is just as I predicted, a show of second best options.

The issues, of course, and especially what is hot right now are touching topics. The facebookers are releasing and spinning the videos of the police brutality actions. Without passing judgement, I must confess, that they look very disturbing.  The economy is in hush mode, now, but it will make a loud stink eventually. There were a few shootings, but then again, numbness is the word that can best describe attitudes toward those element.

 I think the most important concern which is high on the Trump horse, is the establishment. People are tired of being jerked around. Corrupt schools mandated through Washington, the banking industry that spun the economy to a halt and then picked up as if it was business as usual, greasy concessions being sold to China, and of course the Middle East. But these is for the young at heart to squabble over. The rest of us should steer clear of  passionate issues  lest we be labeled wrongly. No the appropriate thing  to do is to find a "safe ground"  and piece of mind.

Truth be told no one really has a clue anymore. All we hear is 1% nonsense from the radical side, but nothing else. I guess it is all about being on the right side, the side that does not get fooled. This side is like a piece of pie, some get large portions, but mostly it is for crumbs. Crumbs and the satisfaction of not being played for the fool, for now. If things change, however, the fool will be those left with crumbs in their pockets, so it is in their best interest to go with the tide.
If the presidential race is lost, State, Congressional, and local races might hold some promise. How many candidates have been riding the Sanders, Trump tide. Has anyone been manning these stations? Are there any candidates that are genuinely concerned with change? With the upheaval of one race, did everyone forget that local races are in full swing also?


My focus is shifting heavily to numbers, I am looking to get a solid hold on the state of the economy, poverty levels and crime. I also would like to know what is happening in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, but that is even more difficult to attain. In the meantime, Bernie Sanders continues to push following his "Mathematical" defeat by Hilary Clinton. Minorities heavily supported Hilary Clinton, despite her probably not being the best candidate for them. Furthermore, polarization between Trump and Clinton, will not make for good discussion on issues. It will be fuel for division, and one can wager that this fuel will be ignited in coming months.

The watery, bogged down cycle of the election keeps chugging on by the hijackers of our government. As of course the crooked victory leaves a crushing sense of concern on the  side of most people. Thinking maybe another year, someone will come along and start making the desperately needed changes. In the meantime the other side will be campaigning in full garb the importance of not going against the current regime. I am convinced that propaganda is rearing its ugly head upon us, and am worried that it will accelerate if something is not stopped. That is the bone-picking for now, see you when things start heating up.
