Waiting For Godot

Submitted by ub on

Waiting for Godot is an infamous play in which Vladimir waits for the arrival of someone named Godot who never arrives, and while waiting engages in a variety of amazing discussions.

Everyone knows that politics can sometimes be a difficult venture, but never to conspire against an enemy using foreigners.

Make no mistake about it, Republicans are anxiously analyzing the results of polling in yesterday’s votes in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Washington, and Ohio.

Always Check It Out

Submitted by ub on

False information spreads like wildfire across social networks, particularly during primaries, midterm, and general elections.

I learned a long time ago never to believe everything you're told or read until I become engaged in checking all facts. I reject terms like fake news, witch hunt, the enemy of the people.

Never has it been easier than now to do just that. This is the reason I emphasize to all my students to become involved in an exhaustive fact-checking process. Everyone should be doubling down on facts.

Purging US Voters

Submitted by ub on

By a 5-4 decision, US Supreme Court Justice Alito reverses the 6th circuit and upholds Ohio's purging of infrequent voters. The state of Ohio has purged 2 million voters since 2011, more than any other state. Black voters 2x as likely as whites to be purged in state's largest counties.

This means it is OK to purge voters from the rolls if they skipped voting a couple of times. Apparently, casting your ballot is no longer a right, but a privilege. This is why GOP lawmakers collaborate with POTUS. They know voter suppression helps them to make elections neither free nor fair.

Which Side Are You On?

Submitted by ub on

American folks songs throughout the 20th century called for justice, dignity, and a fair shake. They voiced grievances, affirmed the value of society, and expressed hope for life in a democratic society. Are you a decent, or an indecent individual?

The following Florence Reece classic song of 1931 asks an important political question for today: “Which side are you on?”

Government Obstructionists Party

Submitted by ub on

Why does the GOP continually insist on counterproductive practices of deliberately preventing a planned political process? Have Republicans lost their way and are they one step closer to tearing up the USA? Why would they be allowed to succeed?

Republicans have looked the other way on Trump’s scandals and misdeeds, ignoring their majority oversight responsibilities and undermining the entire idea of checks and balances. Our forefathers established our nation under God to embrace a mindset that all men and women are created equal and that no one is above the law.

Blue Horizon Waves

Submitted by ub on

What happens when an administration and their Grand Old Party, which is in control fails to serve We The People? Stay tuned for a blue wave approaching over the horizon.

The message from the billionaire-led donors to @POTUS, @HouseGOP, and @SenateGOP in the Republican-controlled Congress it helped to shape was clear: Pass a tax overhaul, or else. So they did and there lies the problem. They made their bed and now are sleeping in for the time being.
