I can give to a candidate just 2 times. When are the best times to give?

Just looking for some opinions on this. All of them want money all the time. What do you think?

In one way, this does compare to the Nixon scandal..

Sometimes I look at the news, and often I think that it is all a dream..Sometimes, it reminds me of the Nixon administration with countless crooks and one thing happening after another. I recall John Dean testifying. And thinking to myself, "I sure wish there was some recording to prove that he is telling the truth." So, recordings show up. Certain recordings contain important conversations. Erased tapes show up. So, this is in one way very similar. This shows up and then that shows up. You think that you have seen all, and that is it.... And then there is another chapter. MORE . That is how this compares. I wonder what is next??????

Take back the Senate....which races could do it?

Jackie Rosen running in Nevada. She still has to win a primary, but it looks like she has a lot of support and could flip a senate seat to our side.....ok.

Norwegian Cruise Line Destroys Passengers Vacation, refuses to refund fares

To get all info on this company and how it treated its passengers, this you must read the entire article.
Towards the end of an awful 2 week trip... caused by the company, it was obvious that refunds on the trip needed to be made. The company refused, and offered a reduced fare on passengers next voyage. The company needs to be bankrupted and this story needs to be seen by every potential customer. Then, there will be no potential customers.. The 2nd link below, offers more pictures..(from Newsweek)

Please notice these two lines from the Newsweek link: Passengers also noted how the workers on the ship wore protective masks and clothing, which was not provided to the passengers.

Failure of Trickle Down Economics, Robert Reich- 3min 6 seconds..short, classic

Anyone can understand this..anyone.! And almost anyone has 3 min and 6 seconds to watch. Perfect to prove the point...Trickle Down Theory is a ...TOTAL FAILURE..

If open even a little, this could win over some...an important some, who could help us win...please watch...Thank You..

About Dr. Kings dream..

We had an Afro-American President of the United States who was re-elected. Obama is now recognized as being an outstanding world leader and one of the most trusted individuals in the entire world. Least we forget that in the 60s, that was not thought to be possible. It not only happened, my guess is if Obama could run in 2020, he would win again.

Trump by nature is a "bully." The FBI as an agency does not take kindly to "bullies."

Especially those who try to bully the FBI.

If I recall, Trump tried to bully James Comey, who at the time was head of the FBI..(is that correct?)
Mueller was also the head of the FBI at one time. Mueller and Comey have been friends and confidants. Some how and some way, Mueller will get Trump. It could be indirectly or not so obvious. Maybe it won't be "Mueller."Doesn't matter. I think that in the end, Trump will go down.

"Boy who fell in Los Angeles drainage pipe found alive " CNN:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/02/us/california-drainage-pipe-rescue/index.html

Los Angeles (CNN) — Rescuers in Southern California on Monday morning spotted and extricated a boy who was stuck in a maze of drainage pipes for about 12 hours, authorities said.

Searchers doggedly inspecting a complex drainage system network found Jesse Hernandez, 13, at a Burbank location around dawn.

The boy was given a cell phone to call his family after he was plucked from danger, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

"I've never seen a command post of big burly guys so filled with joy," department spokesman Erik Scott said.

The harrowing incident began during an Easter gathering of 20 family members at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. The boy was believed to have been playing on an old shack in the late afternoon when boards covering a pipe opening gave way. He fell about 25 feet into a sewer pipe.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
