The People Vote
American Voters in Pennsylvania and Tennessee not only determine the outcome of two special elections today but if Democrats are able to flip any of many disappointed Trump supporters, it may be an ominous sign for The GOP.
Elections
Put Up or Shut Up
The phrase says don't mess with Texas and everything is bigger in the Longhorn State as its fixing to hold the nation’s first primary election of 2018.
Early voting turnout has GOP weary and worried. Democratic turnout for the 2018 midterm primaries in the state's 15 largest counties was twice as high as the totals in 2014, outstripping the Republicans in urban counties in the GOP stronghold.
Threat To Democracy
SOS -After a half-century, there is an increased threat to democracy. Our way of life is in peril and we may lose it all from within. This according to new statistics released on inequality data.
Researchers point out there is nothing new, just that it has now increased to an alarming rate. In the past, Democratic governments, international organizations, and nongovernmental organizations slowly responded but when the largest democracy on earth is threatened is creates erosions of the global democratic process.
The Days of Whines and Overdoses
Wake up, everyone everywhere around the world. Sorry for the slap in the face but consider this as a wake-up call and a warning for the coming days of whines and overdoses.
Please take a hard look at the world we live in today as some of the most powerful nations are either causing mass destruction, while others are turning their heads to look the other way.
The following words, sounds, and images may be disturbing but will make clear some of the most disgraceful sagas in the history of the world.
US President Impeached
On this date, President Andrew Johnson was the first president to be impeached, but not the last. He was born on December 29, 1808, and died July 31, 1875. Drew was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Johnson became president as he was vice president at the time of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

The Russians Are Here
When I was a kid in Cuba, Russia took over with Castro's government support, his admiration, and assistance. Then I was welcomed with open arms in this great nation and watched "The Russians are Coming" - They're already here and making themselves at home. https://youtu.be/XBOQdkIu6fM
The fear is not that they're already in the US, but they are working while our administration appears to give the all clear. When has the president said anything negative about Vladimir Putin or The Russians?
Elected vs Selected
An unqualified individual can be elected without the popular vote. We have seen this time and again in our democracy. When someone is selected, it usually signifies they're the very best person available for the job.
Donald John Trump was born June 14, 1946, and 70 years later won the election while losing the popular vote. However, he currently is the 45th and current President of the United States. #POTUS has been in office since January 20, 2017. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and became famous by an NBC TV Show.

Fake News US Election
A new study suggests @realDonaldTrump may owe his 2016 @POTUS so-called victory in the Electoral College to 'fake news', according to concerns raised by Erik C. Nisbet, Associate Professor of Communication, Political Science, and Environmental Policy and Faculty Associate with the Mershon Center for International Security Studies, The Ohio State University, Paul Beck, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, The Ohio State University, and Richard Gunther, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, The Ohio State University.
US Being Attacked
The Russians are here, have attacked and will continue to do so until we stop them. This is the warning issued by our top leaders.
Why is the president intent on distracting the nation by attacking NFL players, the free press and others?
Statement for the Record: Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community by Director of National Intelligence, Daniel R. Coats http://bit.ly/2Gcq843
DNI Coats: "Frankly, the United States is under attack. Under attack by entities that are using cyber to penetrate virtually every major action that takes place in the United States."
Putin On The Hit
Actions over the past few days have undermined the right’s Trump-Russia conspiracy theory and its headed in the wrong direction.
Furthermore, a Nunes authored Congressional memo contradicts a right-wing belief about what prompted the investigation into the President’s ties to Russia.
