The fix is in … Hillary will win … vote for Jill Stein!
Hillary Clinton is the choice of the masters to run the country and start World War III. The election is irrelevant. Vote for Jill Stein. You have nothing to lose. It’ll feel good. Continue reading

Why Donald Trump is not as horrible as Hillary Clinton … and why you should vote for Jill Stein.
Vote for Jill Stein! If that ends up electing Donald Trump, so be it. He’s a buffoon and will accomplish nothing. He doesn’t know his way around Washington DC and will be totally isolated. If Hillary gets elected, we will end up in a major war. She knows her way around the nation’s capital and is supported by Wall Street, the big banks, the multinational corporations, the MIC, and worst of all, the neocon-infested government and media organizations. These folks know only four things: War, profit, more war, more profit. Yes, Hillary may end up being the nation’s first female president. But she’ll also end up being the nation’s last president.

It’s Not Hillary’s Physical Health That’s The Issue . . . It’s Her Mental Health!
Despite a lot of speculation about Hillary Clinton’s physical health, based on her own bizarre behavior and evident fragility, to my mind the real issue is not her physical health but her mental health. There is an overwhelming amount of solid evidence that she is a sociopath of the first order, which translates to: Given the magnitude of the office of President, Hillary Clinton is an existential threat to the human race and should not be in any position of power, much less the presidency.

I didn’t throw my vote away!
My absentee ballot arrived today. In less time than it takes for Bruce Willis to comb his hair, I made my choice. A vote is too precious to waste on criminals and narcissists. My ballot is on its way back to the United States of America. Continue reading

The Endorsement Bernie Should Have Given Hillary Clinton
This is how a principled politician behaves, one whose political and moral values are beyond compromise, one who has the courage to provide real leadership in a time which cries for enlightened and unselfish men and women to step forward. Continue reading
Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part VIII
Here’s a dramatic example of how the candidate contracts can work in eliminating ambiguity and obfuscation, leapfrogging campaign rhetoric and doublespeak to determine exactly where candidates stand on critical issues. Continue reading
Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part VII
Getting the truth out to the voting public on exactly where the candidates stand requires audacity, creativity, courage, some outside-the-box thinking. But it can be done. It should be done. It must be done! Voters don’t need to see protest signs. They need to see honest and clear choices at the polls. Candidate contracts leave no room for error or misinterpretation. They preclude elected representatives from going back on their commitments to their constituents when they enter the money chamber of the Washington DC bubble. Continue reading

Putting Boots (Birkenstocks) on the Ground: Part VI
When we identify candidates who are on our side — the ones who willingly sign contracts for those specific things the vast majority of us want done — we unite behind them, a huge voting bloc of citizens who are serious about having true representative government — real democracy — in America. Candidate contracts are the surefire way of determining what candidates are on our side. Continue reading
You say you want a revolution?
Is ‘revolution’ the new ‘LOL’? Will the profound need for radical transformation be trivialized and gutted of any substance by empty campaign rhetoric and fatuous sloganeering? Continue reading
Dat bitch is my favorite ‘ho!
At a campaign rally in Colorado where Jay Z and Beyoncé performed, we get to view Hillary Clinton’s real level of commitment to respect, sensitivity, and proper regard for women. Continue reading →
