Hillary, Putin And Trump

The rest of the world has no idea someone who might become president of America is a guy who reads tabloids for "research" and TV is the only policy coach he has, and mostly he talks to himself, and the divorce between facts and his speech happened a long time ago. He never bothered to remarry. Donald Trump is poli fi, as in, political fiction. He is the American Boris Johnson, or Zhirinovsky. Every talking democracy has a bomb thrower. All in the name of free speech. Different men react to the political ascendancy of women in different ways. Some faint. Trump intends to fall flat on his face.

It is possible Putin might do something idiotic to test Hillary's resolve during the first year, but he would be mistaken to do so. Hillary can be a hawk, as necessary. But mostly she is just a cool headed decision maker, kind of like Obama. She looks at the facts, listens to opinions, deliberates, and decides. It is not about being male or female, black or white, it is about doing a job. She has the brains and plenty of spine.

And never forget the Political Spirit, Bill Clinton. The president, the vice president and the political spirit. Two Clintons in one White House is a cocktail.  

One hopes Putin does not attempt some kind of a stunt in Ukraine before November to try to influence the US election. Trump is losing Texas, nothing anyone can do about that. The guy is going to look like he is doing stand up comedy during the debates.

Putin Meddling For Trump Via Ukraine

Russian Military Forces Staging Near Ukraine

Trump did the unthinkable when he invited Russia ("Russia, are you listening?") to meddle in the US election on his behalf.

And Putin is taking that invitation rather seriously.

The Ukrainian release of damning information on the Trump campaign manager, guess what, Putin did not like that.

And now you are looking at a possible war.

Looks like not only the words of a sitting president but also someone running for president has immediate consequences around the world.

Hezbollah is saying, look, I told you America founded ISIS, and now you have proof.

If all this were not so dangerous it might even be funny.

Donald Trump is a clown, a dangerous clown, and hence a madman.

300,000 Gun Deaths In America Every 10 Years


15 Statistics That Tell the Story of Gun Violence This Year

There are 300,000 gun deaths in America every 10 years. In any other country you would call this a civil war situation.

When there is a mass shooting somewhere in America people get all riled up for a few news cycles. But nothing gets done. No rectifying moves are made. In a democracy if a majority of the people want better gun laws they should get better gun laws. Maybe America is not a democracy. False information has been passed around. That America is a democracy.

In no civilized society or country should human beings have a right to bear arms. Human beings have a right to safety, but that's what police officers are for. A response time of three minutes or less is possible every place in America. It is so much easier to carry a smartphone than a gun. There is a need for a world government and a global 911 and a response time of five minutes or less everywhere.

If hunting is a sport, it should be regulated like a sport. Why do you need artillery that can blow up buildings to go deer hunting?

The tobacco lobby also used to be very strong. The gun lobby is strong. Follow the money. Drug gangs across Latin America use American guns. It is almost always American guns that get used in civil wars across the world. This is madness.

The gun lobby has an ongoing civil war in America and numerous civil wars across the world. This is barbaric.

Domestic violence is the number one security threat on the planet right now. In that as well in human trafficking American guns play major roles, not to say in the global drug trade.

The joke on the Soviets was they would dig up ditches and fill up the same ditches to show a lot of work got done. Has America been fighting both sides of the drug war?

Limit guns to police officers and soldiers.

America could use a healthy dose of yoga and meditation. Human beings are supposed to be moved by consciousness not driven by instincts.
