American Caudillo?

The national USA election has been the nastiest in a century and is still undeclared with a tighter competition than expected between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The victory is now in the hands of some five key states that continue to count the ballots, a process that could take some time.

A Caudillo is an idealistic man exercising political and military power with dictatorships in their countries without popular support. An individual who foments discord and thrives on it. He wins by dividing in ways that will remain long after he’s gone.

If GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler got rich off of shady deals on Wall Street and is now really the wealthiest member of Congress, she may be using her fortune as a slush fund to finance her campaign and plowed $23,000,000 of her own money into the race.

We cannot defeat an enemy without fully learning his identity.  The disappointment, sadness, fear, or hate some people may be currently experiencing are not enemies. Righteous anger may be the best tool we can have at our disposal to overcome those other feelings if we exert anger mindfully. 

Our real enemy, I believe, has been our inability to accept our present-day existential reality —whether all of us can survive as a free nation— and, as a result of that knowledge, to fully trust ourselves in order to effect real, extraordinary change.

Why have Republican advisers plunged into a bitter round of finger-pointing and blame-shifting ahead of their increasingly likely defeat?

Long lines stretch for as far as the eye can see as registered voters turn out for early voting as some waited hours to cast ballots on the first time that early voting has been allowed in many states during a presidential election. Do the #Republicans remember the forgotten voter?

Last hurrah a politician's final campaign. and final TV attempt, at a long competition, performance, success, or their last hurrah.

The POTUS posse may have loved him during the first debate but now, he seemed sour, flattened, deflated, and all but defeated.

The fate of democracy relies on The Lone Star State. I lived and worked there long enough to learn that no one dares to mess with Texas. Oprah Winfrey is the main attraction participating in phone-banking marathons, including U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, and music legend Willie Nelson who has also been dialing for ballots. in fact, Nelson has been politically active going all the way back to when he helped Jimmy Carter win the presidency.

The pressure is on for the GOP because they bet on the worst possibility and placed their trust in the egomaniac.  Now that their part is deteriorating fast, Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell admits he could lose control, Lindsey Graham desperately feels the same heat, and Senator Ted Cruz, who is not up for re-election has nevertheless read the writing on the wall sounded the alarm, saying the election will be a “Bloodbath” for Republicans.

Madam and mister American newspaper publishers, temporarily tear down your paywalls until Election Day. Do it for our Democracy.

Traditional newspapers were supposed to die in a world of free digital content. Instead, many are thriving by gating content behind paywallsPaywalls can force users to pay for access, but also impact heavy users disproportionately and harm engagement. However, they can boost print subscription sales by 1-4 percent.

The #Republicans have had a spectacular four-year failure and fall from grace originating from losing a political land, sea, and aerial dogfight, that is accompanied by POTUS arms flailing, hand gestures, and sound effects after crashing, burning an entire Grand Old Party in the #USA landscape.
