VOX POP

Following a long political primary and a toxic Camp Pain that has left our nation divided, Republican Donald Trump won the Electoral College after hurling vicious attacks against his opponents and too many others to mention. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitt…

His main opponent Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but she lost the election because of the Electoral College. Our Founding Fathers may not have realized how undemocratic our Electoral College has evolved.

US Veterans Day is a public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors our military heroes. I spoke with one of my favorite veterans today who has proudly served in the United States Armed Forces. I thanked him for his service and also wish I could personally thank them all, including my late brother.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Submitted by ub on

Have you earned a college degree? What do you know about The Electoral College? This college has no campus, no tuition, and definitely has no dorms.

The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.

Gobble Of Power

The man who has been attacking two-term President Obama vociferously and as long as anyone can recall is now expected to visit The White House.

How will The President welcome his successor? He called him unfit to serve as commander in chief. The Donald led the toxic birther charge challenging the legitimacy of Obama's presidency.

He is there to speak with US President Barack Obama about the transition plans. The President has instructed his staff to work toward a smooth transition, just as President George W. Bush and his team did for them eight years ago.

MEDIA CAMP PAIN

One of my dear family members asked for my comments, Following this divisive election and after watching the media coverage, I will share the following...

It must be difficult to be a parent of young and impressionable kids during these difficult times. Like me, most of us are parents to adults, but some have been blessed with young grandkids.

We've taught our children ‘Don’t be a bully.’ Don’t be a bigot.’ ‘Study, be prepared.’ Respect your elders, the handicapped, and so many others... etc.

Trump Promises?

The media got The Donald airborne, but the Mexico wall and a Muslim ban sustained him. As long as people like the sound of these promises, Trump may repeat them.

Will he follow through? Trump’s lack of details and firm stances may be advantageous.
Now that The Donald has won the election, we will finally find out if he keeps his words.

Build a Wall and force Mexico to pay for it.

Hillary in jail... Lock her up?

Rip up Iran nuclear deal.

Dismantle Affordable Healthcare Act.

Friends with Russia’s Putin, Assad’s No. 1 ally.

Supreme Court abolish Roe vs Wade.

With E-Day less than 24 hours away, Hillary and The Donald are still stomping across the nation trying to make their case to registered voters.

Hillary's message is about healing and will be spreading it in North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. President Obama, first lady Michelle, President Bill Clinton, and their daughter Chelsea Clinton will all be attending a final Monday event, in Philadelphia.

Mike and Don will be finger pointing while sprinting in places like Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Michigan.

Nat Hiken followed up the hugely successful Phil Silvers Show ( https://youtu.be/kuUgrHzM4p8?list=PLnvf2A0109q4JxlxfizEU4lNMzjlJmwNO ) with an NBC program featuring the antics of two NYPD cops as they cruised the streets of the 53rd precinct.

It would up as one of the most successful sitcoms on TV, which managed to spin-off many other programs. The show was Car 54, with a stellar cast and crew that turned out to be more popular than imagined.

This All-American sitcom first broadcast from 1961 to 1963, was all about NYPD officers based in The Bronx.
