When the polls painted a different picture there was no problem, but now that stats indicate Hillary Clinton holds a double-digit lead in the presidential race the Republican candidate is, unfortunately, singing a different tune. Therefore we hereby endorse @HillaryClinton.
In the spirit of clarity and transparency, allow me to add that I am not a registered Democrat and I once worked for a Republican president.
US Congress members and state legislators have increasingly grown lazy and voters should exercise their right to vote, to get representatives working again and staying away from special interests and corruption.
Some observers may say it is probably not possible if the past record is any indication, but dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery must stop immediately.
Existing holders of political offices could be replaced during the upcoming elections where priorities are defined, established to improve structural advantages for all Americans.
If you decide to swim in oil, you will undoubtedly sink in oil. That is what has happened to Venezuela's economy.
Oil made Venezuela very rich, but now it’s forcing Venezuelans to become very poor. Supermarket shelves are empty; hospitals have no medicine; gangs are fighting in the streets over supplies. It's chaos and people are suffering.
Some warn that Venezuela, Argentina, and Brazil's political money strength has been using Central Banks. Big money wants to control South America, and they are not going to let that happen.
Not really, its not a new problem. In fact, political scandals have been around for some time. This type of corruption in which politicians, civil servants, or government officials are accused and convicted of engaging in any illegal, corrupt, or unethical conduct.
How does the current crop of political candidates rate compare to the worse of the worst?

Globalism has been the American philosophy for a long time and can be seen in media, academia, at financial corporations and at charitable foundations. Then came The Donald and changed everything, with his nationalism promises on immigration, foreign policies and trade talk.
Nationalists believe that any true nation must have clearly delineated and protected borders, otherwise it isn’t really a nation. They also believe that their nation’s cultural heritage is sacred and needs to be protected, whereas mass immigration from far-flung lands could undermine the national commitment to that heritage. Globalists don’t care about borders. They believe the nation-state is obsolete, a relic of the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, which codified the recognition of co-existing nation states. Globalists reject Westphalia in favor of an integrated world with information, money, goods and people traversing the globe at accelerating speeds without much regard to traditional concepts of nationhood or borders.
Globalists are motivated by humanitarian impulses. For them, the rights and well-being of the world’s people supersede the rights and well-being of the American populace. Nationalists don’t care about dominating world events. Being nationalists, they want their country to be powerful, with plenty of military reaches, but mostly to protect American national interests. They usually ask a fundamental question when foreign adventures are proposed—whether the national interest justifies the expenditure of American blood and treasure on behalf of this or that military initiative. The fate of other people struggling around the globe, however heartrending, doesn’t usually figure in nationalist considerations. The fate of America is the key.
The US history of trade admits of no straight-line analysis. Andrew Jackson was a supreme nationalist, and a free-trader. William McKinley made America a global power but was a protectionist. In our own time, though, the fault line is clear. Globalists salute the free flow of goods across national borders on the theory that this will foster ever greater global commerce, to the benefit of all peoples of all nations. Whether they are right or not, their focus is on the American citizens whose lives and livelihoods have been also hollowed out in many instances. Thus has a powerful new wave of protectionism washed over the body politic, leaving globalist elites running to get out of the way. Globalists were too focused on global trade and commerce to notice the horrendous plight of America’s internal refugees from the industrial nation of old.
Therefore, it's not women vs. men; evangelicals vs. liberals; Latinos vs. Whites, working-class Americans with no college; progressives vs. traditionalists; old vs. young. These are all important, but not crucial. An understanding of this mudslinging camp pain and the upcoming election, or what may be known as the revolution of 2016 will be what is driving The United States of America into a period of serious political tremors.

This fear comes in many ways, shapes and forms, Dangerous crimes and attacks, as well as the fear of not being able to financially care for ourselves and our families.
There are multiple fears, with the first being a crisis of security and extremism, as we witnessed on Tuesday in the horrors in Pakistan and Belgium. The second is a crisis of human movement, when hundreds of thousands of refugees are moving and a debate over the means by which to manage them. The third is the world political crisis, in which conventional politics is being challenged by more extreme and intolerant parties.
“Look up here, I’m in Heaven!” is the opening line of David Bowie’s off Broadway production, Lazarus, which premiered earlier this month two days before the artist’s death. Known for innovating the world of music, Bowie revisited the theater as a creative way to say goodbye as he lost his battle with cancer. Many of the retrospectives on his unique life include his innovation in the financial world too.

These letters often stray from the rule to avoid politics and religion but they rarely venture into the
latter realm. However, one of the major stories of the just concluded second quarter was the papal
encyclical admonishing humanity for turning the earth, God’s creation, into “an immense pile of
filth.” In Laudato Si’ – Our Care For Our Common Home, Pope Francis is asking us to see our
world more like his namesake St. Francis of Assisi who viewed all of the earth’s plants, animals
