We went in to root out the terrorists and punish the Taliban for harboring and supporting them. That mission was accomplished so quickly that it took our breath away.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
DNC elected a new Chairman a wile back with promises of changing the
organization to be more in touch with the people instead of big money
donors. They are even courting Bernie Sanders and his voters, (though
cynics say they just covet his huge Email list of supporters and
donors.) They have, since the Clinton years ignored any race other
than President that wasn't a sure thing or big money election, acting
like the money they have collected is coming out of their paychecks
instead of being some billionaire's pocket change.</span></span></span></div>
<div lang="en" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In
Kansas last week the Democrat in the race asked the DNC to help with
$2,500 for a mailer to spread his name in the special election. They
turned him down as a lost cause. He lost by only 7 points in an
overwhelmingly Republican district.</span></span></span></div>
<div lang="en" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In
the election for the Georgia Congressional seat yesterday the
candidate Jon Ossoff raised 8 million dollars from small
donors (like Bernie Sanders) and was leading the whole field of
18. The DNC jumped in at the last minute after the race made the
national news but didn't persuade any of the other Democrats
running to drop out and endorse Ossoff. Though they did fundraise off
the contest.</span></span></span></div>
<div lang="en" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He
missed winning outright with 50% of the vote by 2% and has to face
former Georgia secretary of state Karen Handel in a runoff in June
where he is said to have a 50/50 chance.</span></span></span></div>
<div lang="en" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There
are several more special elections this year to replace Republicans
that look like there is a strong chance for a Democrat win.</span></span></span></div>
<div lang="en" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
am not optimistic that the national DNC will help any of them
despite the fact that their whole purpose is supposed to be
electing people who unlike the power hungry present day Republican
politicians actually listen to everyday people and work to defend
their freedom and try to make life a little better for all the
people.</span></span></span></div>
<div lang="en" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
may be a gloomy Gus but I haven't seen any signs that the DNC gets
that the massive losses that progressives have experienced since
2000 were a direct result of their incompetence in dealing with
the 50 state Republican gerrymandering plan, combate the
conservative propaganda machine and the failure to recruit,
develop and support viable progressive candidates in all
states.</span></span></span></div>
<div lang="en" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If
the DNC doesn't wake up and change, then progressives will either
abandon them, or not only lose these special elections, but the 2018
elections as well them and more importantly any progressive gains
made in the last 60 years.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Abraham Lincoln</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Senator Mitch McConnell and his band of merry men have stolen a supreme Court nomination for Trump. That nomination was rightfully President Barrack Obama's to make. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They stole it using a bullshit argument to justify their blatant obstruction of the most honorable, capable intelligent President we have had in my lifetime.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They did it in part because he had the audacity to hope that he could make life better for all Americans.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, and because he was a half African American man raised by his Caucasian single mother and educated in the Ivy League schools where, in their eyes he should have been taking orders in one of the local fast food joints.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They didn't do this for the good of the American people. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They didn't do it for the protection of the United States from it's enemies foreign and domestic as they took an to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The truth is... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They did it for greed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They did it for money.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They did it for power.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ultimately they did it because they have been bought and paid for by people and organizations who care nothing about making anyone's life better. <br />They don't care if the people of the United States (or any other country) live or die. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They care only that their actions increase their profits and power.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In other words they did it because they are people who embraced the "greed is good" and "the one who finishes with the most toys wins" philosophy of the Reagan era.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They stole it and used the so called nuclear option doing away with the Senate filibuster to confirm Neil Gorsuch, a far<span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.870588); font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span>right, pro business conservative, who believes that the Constitution should be interpreted as a static document as it was written in the 18th century, instead of the living document it was designed to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A document flexible enough to adapt to the changes that the founders knew, as men who looked toward the future were inevitable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They stole it and when they were blocked did what they and their masters always do.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They changed the rules to get their way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Just like a spoiled child who throws a temper tantrum when he doesn't get his way.<br />Now that it is done any 5-4 decision handed down by the Supreme Court will be tainted for me. <br />Whether I agree or disagree with it <br />If President Obama's moderate nominee Merric Garland<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span>was given a fair hearing and confirmed as he should have been, about 75% of those decisions would probably go the other way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll go out on a limb and say they would probably be much better decisions for the improvement of the majority of the American people's lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This nightmare to be continued...</span><br />

Instead of turning away from our neighbors, our friends, our colleagues, let us instead learn from our history and avoid repeating the mistakes of our past.<br /> Loretta Lynch<br /><br />

This is Holocaust Remembrance Day and Donald Trump thought it a fine day to ban refugees from entrance into the United States.<br />
The reason we commemorate this day is to atone for the policy that
turned Jewish refugees away often at the ports in the early days of
Germany's Third Reich. <br /><br /> This is the result of that policy. <br />
