I am getting sick of Democratic Party leaders standing around with dumb looks of their faces asking the same stupid question Why did we lose this one? Over the months since the election since the election, the answer is painfully obvious. Ignorance. By ignorance I mean the Dems royally ignored all potientally interest groups with a lack of interest. While the national party tried to maintain party needs. Since the election, the answer is painfully obvious. Ignorance . By ignorance, I mean the Democratic party royalty ignored all potential interest groups with a lack of interest in them while the national party tried to maintain party needs employment, the economy,immigration, healthcare, the environment and education funding. The DNC under president Biden VP Harris and the Dems in Congress had an agenda and made a strong sweeping effort to carry it through but after all is said and done many of the interest groups have been ignored and here they are. African Americans : The DNC considers themselves civil rights experts and rightly so but needs the African American Community to go beyond the need for social equity that was yet to arrive. Being socially accepted from the poorhouse to the Whitrhouse is great but the DNC has yet to move African Americans from the backstreet to mainstreet. For the most part, we are still are on the backstreet and nowhere near mainstreet and this has been going on since 1619 and has yet to change and that is what the African American community is upset about and continues to be upset. When the African American community complained to the mainstreet, the stream would say: 'You have a black president, What more more do you want." One black president may be all we get and the community knows this . The black community organized after the murder of George Flyod took to the streets in June or 2020 and marched right into the ballot box in November of 2020 supporting DNC candidates . Joe Biden who promised movement for the backstreet to the mainstreet. Equality and mobility for all. The American people were awakeand ready for changebut the first and last Biden term did not deliver. Biden was not the Lone Ranger. He put fourth strong policies that built the economy but did not get enough support from mainstreet and the backstreet felt backstabbed. All politics is local . Controlling the White House is dandy but a full house is needed for a strong government. Many of the DNC house was lost in the mid-term election s the DNC took candidates and the voters for granted . So the second half of Bidens term left him unprotected and vunerable to his key legislation being blocked by a Republican majority in the house. Senate ccandidates like Alabama's Doug Jones were defeated by mental miget Auburn football coach Tommy Tuperville because the DNC didnot give Mr Jones adequate support. Two things happened . The DNC took Democratic voter for granted . The DNC came with hope MAGA came with an agenda . Two things cost the DNC the 2024 election . 1 Party members pleading with Ppresident Biden to step downwithout any plan for succesion thrust the nomination of Kamala Harris with just five months until election day. All because the DNC brought up the idea that the president was incompetent enven though he was running against the most incompotent pesidential candidate that I have ever seen. The Democratic party establishment is made up of people is afraind to take risks . this is the second time in over 50 years that that a sitting Democratic president has declined fo run for reelection that has resulted in defeat of the replacement DNC candidate and rhe election of a present with shady intention . first Richard Nixons defeat of Hubert Humphrey which resulted in the secret dombing of North Vietnam and Donald Trump's Project 2025 initiative. The main reason why we suffered defeatin 2024 was the DNC leadership was standing around with egg on its face wodering what happened . A lack of confidence for Democratic candidates . During President Bidens first term i was having a dicussion with friends who thought Kamala Harris was not a good replacement for the president . Basically they said that the GOP is going to take the 2024 election So the profits of gloom and doom were right not because they were inquizitive but I think if you say something long enough everyone starts to belive it and this is what happened. during the 2024 election election a lack of confidence and the tendency to pull defeat out of the mouth of victory and blame it on everyone else. What costs the DNC the 2024 election was the lack of confidence in the party and the ability to successfully win an election and run the nation after victory. A lack of leadership at the top of the DNC is the cause a strong party chair is needed to bring the DNC to victory. A state governor would be a better idea for a party leader. It worked for Howard Dean a physician and the Governor of Vermont, who was a presidential candidate led the DNC through two Obama victories, control of Congress and the passage of hte Affordable health care Act. Saying all of this , I think the best choice for the chair of the DNC is Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota who showed his metel in the 2024 election . What the party needs is a director who can oversee the election and present the issues,lead the candidates to victory. Governor Walz would make a better producer and director than a leading man . Governor Walz has the strength of conviction , the stamina and the will to take the candidate election to victory. At this point in time, Governor Walz would be a better suited at the helm than on the bow . This movement should begin now a new chairman should be selected immediately and a secret strategy should be written and carried out during the midterm elections in 2026. the theme of the election shouldbe the DNC. The next theme should be try it and see and what happens make MAGA know that the DNC is ready and willing to take our country back to what the USA has always been, a free country by any free political means necessary. I think that our base is bigger and more diverse than the RNC. We need to clearly state what the Democratic party stands for listen to our base get their feedback and take quick action to to develop the campaign supporting the issues that all Americans want without compromise. We currently have a president who rules this nation like a dictator unwilling to to compromise unwilling to listen The DNC should do a series of informal meetings and town halls so that we know what our base needs and how to carry it out. We have better candidates progressive policies and care about the people of the US we truly are the party of the people. We have to make it clear that the time not to drain the swamp but to flush the toilet and 2028 is the time to free our nation from a dictator in training who cares nothing for working families or their freedom, The people of the US are not living in a democracy and on a one-way trip to financial ruin while the country is in a tariff war and is in the process of making bitcoin legal tender. Deja Vu Coolidge/Hoover. If we can't defeat MAGA in the midterms and the election 2028 it nay be a long time before we see the light of freedom. The DNC must have a come Jesus meeting with the leadership and look at the real reasons why the 2024 election was lost without finger pointing, which leads to regress not progress and frankly led to the 2024 election defeat. The DNC needs to look at what is good about it and lable it the party of progress . The DNC should not be afraid to call out voters who often expect more from candidatesbut unwilling to learnwhat the real issues are They should expect complex to uncomplex answers and not vote based on single issues. Instead of being like an a premissive parent overindulging their children their children who grow up to do and know nothing as adulls candidates should not talk down to voters but challeng them to think and be responsible for their own destiny . Elections are lost not just because of candidates but of voters who expect the party to do all the thinking know what the real issues are and not make the electorial process just that not a beauty contest/ grudge match . the winner of the election should serve all the peolpe not just the ones who voted for them and not use the election as a way to hurt the losers which is what Donald Trump is doing . FDR bailed out Wall Street and Main Street. President Biden equally served the working class and big business. The president should serve all of the people with charity not revenge. The DNC must prove that our candidate will be a uniting force sworn to upheld the constitution not destroy it . To put the nation back on its' feet and not worry about offending a tryant who is hell bent on destorying our republic. We must let the people that our only goal is to truly make the United States sane again and it starts with the midterms The midterms should be called get rid of the tyrant and make Donald Trump a lame Duck president by taking control of the Congress. Trump is doing all that he can to not make this happen and replace our democracy with an Orwellian autocracy both bothcontrolled by fascists with economic and political control.The midterms will be a litmus test for who will win the 2028 election and the direction of the nation and the world a big task ahead of us and we must prevail

The Florida Situation
I was shocked and saddened when I heard of the death of Tyree Nichols at the
hands of the Memphis Police Department a travesty of justice and a complete act
of brutality. There was no rhyme or reason for the attack. Now those officers
and the Memphis PD are trying to spin the story of Mr. Nichols' death to no
avail. Once again there is a conflict of interest in law enforcement. First of
all the main duty of the police should to protect and serve. Enforcement is
secondary especially when it gets in the way of safety. The Scorpian unit was
formed to cut down on street crime instead it seems more like a gang in blue. It
seems like many of the victims of police murders are more nerds than nemisis.
From Philando Castillo a school cafeteria manager to Tyree Nichols a skateborder
these men had two things in common they were non-threatening and
unarmed(Castillo had a weapon in his car which he was licensed to carry ) .You
know that these officers are cowards because hardcore gang members still walk
the street reeking havok while decent young black men are murdered by these
psychopaths.There should be a serious concern as to why the police are
consistantly shooting unarmed black men . Not your average Street criminal the
average victims of the gang in blue are usually employed and as harmless as a
bag of Stay Puff marshallows usually in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Iwould probably be one of those guys except I hardly evergo out after 6pm. Id
rather not overeat or risk getting choked or shot to death. I do not understand
this trend, and why the nation is doing nothing to address and solve the problem
of the wholesale slaugther of black men. When the police killed people in a
shoot out they were defending themselves and could somewhat justify killing
people in the line of duty but now most of the people are unarmed and pose no
threat to anyone but are murdered using officers fearing for their lives.
Explain this to me. How can an unharmed man be a threat to an armed man who
pulls the trigger because they fear for their life. From Geronimo Hemanez to
Kyle Rittenhouse, these murderers justify killing unharmed men because they
fearned for their lives. This has got to end. BLACK MEN SHOULD NOT BE SITTING
DUCKS !!!

A Tale of Two Cities
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times . That is what this election brings to mind. We have less than 24 hours before we go to the polls to elect a president. We are coming to the end
of one of the most intense elections in the history of our nation an election that is filled with both passion and resentment. Some who want to maintain the white male status quo , some who want to go against the system and many others who do not know what they want they are angry and do not know where to direct their anger.
I think this election has come down to a tale of two cities where one city is a city of hope and the
other city is a city of nope. The city of hope is an offshoot of the eight years of the hope of the Obama administration. The city of hope is concerned with health care, justice, expanding the middle class and providing quality education to all who desire it . The city of nope is against everything the city of hope is in favor of. They seem to think that their world was destroyed in 2008 and their American dream is being taken away. For some reason they feel they have been living in another country that was run by someone other than who they are used to have them running it and they literally can't stand it . Mr. Trump's slogan : Make America great almost sounds like make make America white again.
The city of hope has a diverse population with an abundance of people of color, immigrants and women. The same people who have been attacked repeatably by the city of nope with threats like building a wall around Mexico, Banning Muslims, calling black people dirty and lazy and calling women, fat stupid bitches. Donald lost any credibility as a candidate when he started making these statement.
Working class white people who Donald Trump has done more to hurt that help follow him like the Pied Piper, listen to his racist and sexist attacks and treat him like the great white hope. Great white hopes don't usually fair well in these types of contests. First of all in order for this great white hope to achieve success he would have to have the backing of all white people and majority of them are disgusted by him and can't wait to vote against him.
In the city of hope Hillary Clinton a lifelong activist who began working with the poor and downtrodden before she was old enough to drive went directly from Yale law to helping poor women and children in the Children's Defense Fund by-passing the big corporate law firms . She does not only believe in hope, she is hope . As first lady of Arkansas she worked with her husband to improve education and the quality of life for the people of the state. They took this state activism and spread it national when she and Bill moved into the White House taking on health care and increasing the quality of life for the middle and lower classes. She set the tone for all first ladies.
Mrs. Clinton may live in the city of hope but she is also willing to visit the city of nope to improve the quality for all American whether they agree or disagree with her . There are people who don't trust but to my knowledge she has never sold out the American people and has sacrificed her good name and private life to keep the dream alive. The difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are so clear that no one in their right mind could could ever compare apples and oranges with them . Mr. Trump sees the American People as another mark waiting to to be taken .
Hillary Clinton sees us as the hope of the future who will help us continue the dream started by President Obama in 2008 . The only other thing that I can say is that a vote for Hillary is not just a vote for hope it is a vote for our future and many generations to come. Get out there with all your friends who believe in hope and put Hillary Clinton in the White House not just to put a woman in the office but to keep hope where it belongs, at the forefront of American life

Where have all the Brain Cells Gone
With less than one week left until election day, I am wondering where have all the brain cells gone and how can we get them back . This came to mind when I was watching CBS news and a group of young people were being interviewed by a reporter who wanted their opinion of the election and candidates Clinton and Trump.
They had a variety of opinions, some I agreed with and some I did not . That was okay but what I did not agree with was the unfocused viciousness of these people who did not seem as if any of them had known hard times or much resistance from anyone. One called Hilliary Clinton a liar another called Donald Trump a fake and President Obama a failure who had done nothing for the country.
I do not mind people with strong opinions but I do mind people who express baseless mindless opinions base solely on campaign rhetoric and very few facts. For some reasons, you may not like President Obama as a person you may even disagree with his politics, but when you say he has done nothing for the country, has a failing economy and is a liar . That is not a fact but double talk straight of the Donald Trump playbook. When you attack his race and are not even smart enough to know that you have done is more insulting than it is informing . The Google generation who can look up the fact on Google seems to be lacking them all of the time.
I hope this is not a good example of the younger twenty something generation who puts a buffon like Donald Trump on a pedestal and calls on of the most intelligent presidents this country has ever had a failure there is something seriously wrong with our education system and how children are parented. I have seen it in my teaching as well as everyday life . From the time these young people were small children, they have been told that they have the right to their opinion and they can blurt out any stupid unsupported statement and no one is supposed to question them .
If you don't like Hilliary Clinton and what she stands for fine, tell me why you feel this way. If you do not like the affordable care act fine, but support it with real thinking and idea design not just I don't like it . What I saw on that television screen was what I used to see in my classroom from some of my students. Any attempt at accomplishment no matter how lame was acceptable and I was supposed to love it without any criticism. not only is that crazy but it goes against every that that I was against my entire teaching career. Looking up a fact on Google then regurgitating it to a TV reporter is not intelligence it is just a low brow, low intellect scrapbook.
I don't care who these people vote for, but if they are going to be the leaders of our nation 20 years from freeze me and thaw me when it's over.

It's my Party and I'll Lie if I want Too
The election is rigged, the election is rigged. these are the latest words to come out of the Donald's mouth when discussing the election. This latest rhetoric is probably used for the purpose of denial if he loses the election . " The election is rigged, I tell you. "Hillary has rigged the election." If he loses he can use yet another and not claim failure.
This has been his M.O. throughout this election year
between that and throwing false accusations of corruption and incompetence . I think that Mr. Trump is from the if I tell a lie long enough, someone is bound to believe it or instead of actually debating Mrs. Clinton he'll just try to out-talk her and talk over her something he has been doing all of his life.
Donald Trump seems to be committing political suicide and loving it. Someone with as much business acumen as he says he has should also have political the political savvy to handle a crisis and not stomp out like a 4 year-old who did not get desert . Sorry is not in his vocabulary and he does not seem to take rejection well. His psychiatrist, if he has one, has probably paid for a home and a summer home with his counseling sessions.
The only thing that Mr. Trump has managed to do is to Make Hillary Clinton look a whole lot better.
He given her the opportunity to learn how to reject ignorant comments and repel hecklers and nay-Sayers. If there is a Clinton victory, she owes it all to Donald Trump who has truly shown her as the lessor of two evils. With accusations coming left and right, he has managed to trump himself and secure a poll increase for Mrs. Clinton in the polls. His legions of women who have accused him of groping and sexually harassing them have also aided in this endeavor.
Again, this is Hillary's election to lose and one that she has gotten better campaigning and has managed to get better and focus more on the issues while bringing more allies and supporters.
I think that she could secure the election if she would more of two things. A. focus more on the issues at hand like student loans, bring up the middle class through minimum wage and wage increases over all and less focus on Donald Trump . B. make health care more affordable so that the poor don't become poorer because they cannot pay their premiums and use more technology on national defense using fewer boots on the ground and more drones in the air.
If she does these things and more and stop looking over her shoulder for Trump, victory is hers.

You can sue some of the people some of the time
Less than two weeks out and the raw is rough and the comments are as harsh as they can be . Donald Trump is increasing both the sleaze factor and the obnoxious factor at the same time. Donald Trump, no apologies, no remorse and no excuses this year . Mr. Trump did two things this week, outlined the first 100 days of his administration and threatened to sue all the women who have brought charges against him.
He has made no apologies to any of these charges ans continues to campaign like a 13 year-old running for president of the eight grade. Everything in this campaign is more the movie election than an actual election. Hillary Clinton is still bringing out the issues and and acting quite presidential even she is accused of outrageous things by the worst candidate ever to run for public office calling her everything but a child of god but she manages to persevere against pointless accusations of corruptions and treats of incarceration Mrs. Clinton manages to keep her head held high and keep her campaign focused on the real issues and not the WWF manner in which Donald keeps going into the fray.
I used to become angry at the sound of his voice but now I just waiting to see the look on his and his redneck cadre on election night when the final call comes from Lester Holt that the election has gone to Mrs. C. He can hem and haw all he wants and demand a re-count but the election will and shall so to Mrs Clinton and excuse my language, but there isn't a damn thing he can do about it. He will skulk away to his New York penthouse and emerge a few weeks with another rant about the election and fade like his party into eternal oblivion .
