No Coattails Kicked Tails

Submitted by ub on

Alabama Firebrand judge Roy Moore won the Republican primary runoff for US Senate kicking the butt of an appointed incumbent backed by President Donald Trump Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Moore, a Bible-thumping preacher who has been removed from the bench several times vowed to return the knowledge of God and the Constitution of the United States to Congress.

The tendency for political party leaders to attract votes for other candidates of the same party in an election is supposed to be victorious for candidates who will often win because they're “on the coattails” of the Senate majority leader, the vice president, and the president. Not any longer for Trump's #GOP Posse. http://town-hall.doseofnews.com #TrumpPosse

So much for political coattails and is he tired of winning yet? Is this STRANGE #GOP politics and doesn't it also seem that @POTUS and @VP are turning into Amos 'n' Andy because no one believes or takes it seriously. https://youtu.be/griMGY-JLvo and they keep losing time and again? https://youtu.be/ZmnOJSUkjrA

Roy Moore, Alabama’s winning GOP Senate candidate, has us extremely worried http://ow.ly/4xYj30fveVf

Help Puerto Rico

Submitted by ub on

American citizens who live in Puerto Rico are making plans for an exodus to the US mainland, searching for safety and security following the human disaster caused by hurricane Maria. Americans in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are danger and need our help now. Puerto Rico governor pleads with Congress: "We need more help" http://hill.cm/rIp3of9

In my City Island neighborhood alone, one proud Puerto Rican veteran, who we spoke with is opening his home for family members who are arriving, including his mother, aunts, and cousins. The Bronx is located in the northernmost of NYC, with an overwhelming number of Latinos. In fact, The US Census says the NYC borough is the most diverse area in our entire nation.

Meanwhile, as Congress considers dealing with the devastation, they are pushing for quick approval of relief funding and bracing for a political financing brawl for these American territories. Donald Trump finally notices Puerto Rico—long enough to blame them for their problems https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/9/26/1701674/-Donald-Trump-finally-…

Code of US Flag

Submitted by ub on

The US flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery.

Every Fourth of July, your social media pages are sure to be filled with friends and followers wearing clothing with the American Flag on it. From swimsuits to flip-flops to sunglasses, everyone celebrating Independence Day is sure to be wearing something patriotic.

According to the Section 8 of the U.S. Flag Code, the act of wearing anything with the image of the American Flag on it is to be considered "disrespectful."

"The flag should never be carried flat, or horizontally, but always aloft and free."

Political Conditioning

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a Russian physiologist who during the 1890s was looking at salivation in dogs in response to being fed when he noticed that his dogs would begin to salivate whenever he entered the room, even when he was not bringing them food.

As we celebrate the birthday of this behavior modification researcher, known for classical conditioning let us take a look at some of the recent actions which have occurred most recently in media manipulation. Pavlov was known for saying -Don't become a mere recorder of facts but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.

Do you remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? PLEASE... Don't listen, or pay attention to distractions and comments aimed at taking the focus away from an increasing investigation, which like that of a previous president, who ultimately resigned was bent on lies and media accusations of fake news. Journalism and the free press are one of the foundations of our democracy.

Although no one can really say when Puerto Rico will get its power grid working again, one thing is certain, the folks living on the island are growing desperate and needlessly suffering. http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/editorials/2017/09/23/don-let-puerto…

However, no mention of this during his weekly address and as Puerto Rico faces the worst natural disaster ever, T@POTUS rants about firing NFL players who protest http://thebea.st/2xZ7WLA
