Jeffrey Epstein is arrested and charged for some of the really sleazy things he's done in the past and when I look at the top stories in Google's News section, they are all about either Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein or calling for Alex Acosta to resign as Labor Secretary because of his prosecution of Mr. Epstein over 10 years ago.  Let's talk about some different topics. First, a different look at the Donald Trump/Jeffrey Epstein Relationship.  Many of the crimes allegedly committed by Jeffrey Epstein occurred in Florida.  Neither the Florida Attorney General, nor the local prosecutors charged Mr. Epstein with any crime whatsoever.  The Justice Department of President George W. Bush were the ones who reached the allegedly crappy deal with Jeffrey Epstein.  That occurred in 2008 - right before Barack Obama was elected President.  The Justice Department under President Obama did not, during the entire 8 years of his Administration, re-o...

I started this a while back - probably during the Election - and never got around to publishing it.  But now with the Weinstein scandal and many others, it is once again timely so I'll publish this now.  The point being that people like Harvey Weinstein are not the only ones responsible for the abuse.  Their enablers are equally responsible. I remember the days when a woman would accuse a man of rape and the defense attorney for the man would shred her - bringing up her sex life, the way she dressed, the way she talked, everything to show that the accuser some how lied or enticed the man into sex.  I also remember the justifiable outrage that a woman who was a victim of such a crime would then undergo that kind of treatment. During the years of Bill Clinton's predatory behavior toward women, we now hear evidence from the women affected and others that Hillary Clinton attacked them personally and threatened them if they had the audacity to come forward about Bill...

After posting the case against Hillary, folks challenged me to be positive and make the Case FOR Trump.  Challenge accepted. Let me start by saying I'm not a Trump Fan.  Of the 17 people who ran for the Republican nomination, Trump was about #13 on the list.  That said, we have four candidates for President and we have to vote for one.  So here goes, the case for Trump. 0. Repealing Obamacare - forgot this on the original list and it's way to important to put at the bottom and I'm too lazy to renumber.  Donald Trump will work to repeal Obamacare.  The program is starting to crater.  Premiums are growing at rates of almost 20%.  Less people are enrolling.  Unexpecting citizens are getting hit with surprise tax penalties even if they do have coverage. Hillary Clinton will not repeal Obamacare. Advantage Trump. 1. He'll get things done - Everyone complains that Washington is broken.  Nothing can get done. Who better to change th...

Donald Trump is accused of amoral behavior, name calling, misogyny...  and then there is: MSNBC's Chris Matthews Under Fire After He's Caught Ogling Melania [Trump] on Open Mic MSNBC's Chris Matthews Under Fire After He's Caught Ogling Melania on Open Mic MSNBC's Chris Matthews Under Fire After He's Caught Ogling Melania ... The host of 'Hardball' commented on her "Runway walk." Or the headline below "Bill Clinton: 'It's been a long time since a girl' said I look great."    So it's "girls" not "women" and really no criticism from the media toward the serial womanizing predator scumbag for this comment? Bill Clinton: 'It's been a long time since a girl' said I look great Bill Clinton: 'It's been a long time since a girl' said I look ... By AOL Staff The former president dropped the truth bomb while i...

Past quotes from Hillary Clinton have come forth that could demolish her support from the African-American community, assuming they get reported and assuming the African-American community cares (I'll blog on that another time). Her specific comments: "They are often the kinds of kids that are called 'super-predators,' " Hillary Clinton said then. "No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel." This came to the public's attention because a young African American woman brought it up at a $500 per person fundraiser Ms. Clinton was having.  She and a friend paid to get in, then put up a banner with part of that quote and asked Ms. Clinton to explain it.  The video is quite popular now. See the video and some really good contextual commentary by Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k4nmRZx9nc   The background - in 1996, Ms. Clinton ...

Whoever advised Hillary Clinton to call Donald Trump sexist is a moron.   Hillary called Donald Trump sexist and the Clinton Campaign must have expected the media to play the "War on Women" card and beat up Trump and that Trump, like so many others, would be forced on the defensive, unable or reluctant to fight back. Boy did they get that wrong.  What's that saying about how people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? Donald Trump has responded with an ad pointing out that Hillary is married to a man that a NOW official in the 1990's suggested could be a sexual predator. Then the ad shows Hillary with Anthony Weiner, the man who repeatedly sexted pictures of his penis to women; and photos of Hillary with Bill Cosby, who is alleged to have drugged women to have sex with them. Like I said, whoever advised Hillary Clinton of all people to call Donald Trump a sexist is a stone cold moron. Interestingly, the media's reaction when Hillary calle...
