Should Washington D.C. Be A State?

What are your thoughts on this?

Hidden Brain - Encore of Episode 13 - Terrorism

I usually don't post podcasts that I listen to here, but I felt this one was pretty important.  Please try to listen to this with an open and objective mind. 

Synopsis: In the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando, we explore how groups such as the Islamic State explicitly try to capitalize on the grievances and individual frustrations of potential "recruits."

In Fear

In fear.  Hmm.  

BTW, the whole it is time for a 3rd party thing is a vicious cycle.  I am never opposed to a third, fourth or whatever additional party, but understand that is one or both of the major party systems were to fall, we will resort back to a two party system.  

I know that sounds pessimistic, but history has already shown this.  

If I truly went with my gut, I wouldn't vote at all.  I guess I am voting out of obligation or guilt.  Shame me. 

Clinton, Johnson, Stein or Trump.  Just not fully behind any of them.   I will continue to listen and observe and make my decision in October (hopefully).  

It is funny though how the folks of the non-establishment parties are saying the system is broken.  Their not wrong, but.  It is funny. 

After The Puerto Rico Primary

Puerto Rico happened and it looks like Clinton is pretty much in arms reach of the nomination clinch.   If she is able to pull out a California win (or maybe even not) she will clinch. 

 

As for the Republicans, oh who cares anymore.  

Talk to you again after California.

Nebraska And West Virginia

So even though Cruz and Kasich the primaries and caucuses for the Republican Party must go on.  I suppose it has to because anyone can still be written in, but it shows that it does not matter because Trump still dominated and won both the Nebraska and West Virginia Primaries.

As for the democrats, Bernie Sanders did pretty well, but like most states, only recieved a small or equal portion of delegates with Clinton.  I have said it before and I'll say it again, I really don't like and understand the delegate process.  It is so discouraging and could cause people to feel that their vote truly does not matter.  I don't know.  I will still continue to obsereve the process and see where it goes.  

Keep getting out their to vote and make your voices heard!!!

Political Stories (Video) - April 28th thru 30th

Former Speaker of the House, John Boehner has some choice words for Presidential Candidate, Ted Cruz.



Boehner has been one of those folks who tries hard to be civil and cooperating, but will speak his mind when he deems it necessary.  Oh myyy.  One of the reasons why he resigned the position.




Next, AJ+ gets together with modern day socialists.  Curious on what they are about?



Along with brunch, there was a lot to marinate with this information from these Socialists.


This past week at the West Wing, President Obama made a brief visit in England and Germany before handling some important business back here at home and then prepare for this years correspondence dinner hosted by Larry Wilmore.
