I know the game is not over until all the votes are counted and certified.

I found it interesting to research what was said in 2016. I found this video from back then. It explains what happened then. It is only going to take 6 minutes of your time.

Michelle Bachman for you America !!! Have fun.

WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 22: (L-R) Protesters Madonna Brennan of Gambrills, Maryland and Clarissa Kornell hold signs during a protest rally against Sinclair Broadcasting in Lafayette Park near the White House October 22, 2004 in Washington, DC. Sinclair had planed to air a documentary strongly critical of the Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry's Vietnam War record just ahead of the November 2 presidential election, but now says it will air only some segments. (Photo by Matthew Cavanaugh/Getty Images)

As we approach November, every American must Prepare for massive free misinformation campaign ads on their local stations via Sinclair Broadcast Group.

When Sinclair Broadcast Group bought tons of local tv stations, it was clear what their goals were: lies, lies, lies ... to manipulate (dumb down) Americans, just like Fox has done.

They had seen the Fox model and it was time to replicate it on our local tv stations. According to CNN, many Local Stations will be showing a debunked Conspiracy Theory named the Plandemic, which has been removed from Google.

According to CNN, A survey by Pew Research Group earlier this year showed that local news was a vital source of information on the coronavirus for many Americans, and more trusted than the media overall.

The wealthy have really found a way to keep their power forever: By continuing to dumb down a large percentage of the American population.

There are people on YouTube who have debunked these conspiracies. One of them is Dr. Mike and I enjoyed watching his video.

Apparently, Melania trump hasn’t gotten the memo from her husband. And her actions have been frustrating the West Wing.

According to CNN, she has been sending a completely different message than her husband. Here are a few samples from the Article.

On Monday, at almost exactly the same time as the President was on a conference call with governors telling them from the West Wing they looked like "jerks" for being "weak" and unable to "dominate" and "put down" protests, the first lady was tweeting about the country's need for peace.

"Focus on taking care of one another & healing our great nation," she tweeted.

Below is another sample from the same article.

Last week, as the country was waking after a night of protests, Twitter slapped a violation warning on a tweet from the President posted late the night before, labeling protesters as "THUGS," and included the charged phrase, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

Within hours, Trump had turned his ire to Twitter for rebuking him. But at 10 a.m. ET, Melania Trump appeared to align with the social media company, posting: "Our country allows for peaceful protests, but there is no reason for violence."

"As a nation, let's focus on peace, prayers & healing," she added.

That contradiction did not sit well in the West Wing, a White House official told CNN, who noted Trump's antithetical tweeting, "doesn't help. It frustrates the West Wing."

(I added the bolded emphasis)

I’m not a psychologist or doctor or anything of that sort, but this can only tell me that she is not in complete agreement with the approach her husband is taking. Obviously, she is not in charge or a decision maker. However, I’m sure she watches other channels than Faux Noise or the Sinclair Broadcasting garbage.

I have no doubt, she will have plenty to say, when this thing (fake presidency) is finally over. I can already imagine that people will line up to get her side of the story on paper and/or film.

Mike Pompeo is the swamp ...

If what is alleged here is remotely true (I have no doubt it is just the tip of the iceberg), then trump has another scandal coming his way. Well, it might only be scandal number 9999 of his administration. Apparently, Mike Pompeo has been running his own show at the State Department for a long time using our money and hiding everything through his wife’s email.

Honestly, what should we expect when the watchdogs are all fired? It means some people are trying to hide lots of things. And we know who these people are.

Many dinners organized by Pompeo with massive invitees lists: Republicoons, their friends and donors and kept off scheduled. and of course, Fox News people couldn’t be absent. Dinners were paid by the State Department (aka Your tax $$$ at work).

Republicoons are the most corrupt and misleading people in the entire world. They only care about one thing: Money + Power . Ok, it is two things …

Looks like Nancy Pelosi and the House of the People have some more work coming their way … Let’s start asking for those documents and supenea please !!!

Is a Bailout for Oil coming?

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 31: U.S. President Donald Trump participates in the daily coronavirus task force briefing in the Brady Briefing Room at the White House on March 31, 2020 in Washington, DC. With the nationwide death toll rising due to the coronavirus, the United States has extended its social distancing practices through the end of April, while many states have issued stay-at-home orders that strongly discourage residents from leaving home unless absolutely necessary or essential. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) — President to meet with Oil CEOs ... YEA they need a bailout and will get one !!!

I don’t even know where to start with this one. When I read the title of the article, I laughed at first. Then I paused to catch my breath and started looking for curse words.

Then I said to myself: Take a deep breath, calm down and write a diary. An idea for my next T-Shirt prints.

This is how far I could go with this one: Only the first sentence was enough.

President Donald Trump reportedly plans to meet with top oil executives Friday, while Saudi Arabia ignores his pleas, as crashing oil prices forced Whiting Petroleum (WLL) to file for bankruptcy protection.

The most profitable industry in all of mankind. Whenever the going gets tough, they bailout (file for bankruptcy protection) … and our governments are quick to give them one lifeline after another.

I have friends who work in this industry and I hate to see people lose their livelihood. But for an industry that has made so much profit to even ask for the Government to help them … while the same government is trying to prevent people from getting health insurance !!!

Anyway … let me stop here. I didn’t finish the rest of the article. But just have the POTUS accept to meet with them … we know what’s going to come out of it. Didn’t we give trump control of some of the money? This oil industry will be running ads on fox, misleading America soon enough !!!

You can read the rest of the Article here.

Should we be shocked to hear this?

A friend shared this video. I generally don’t even look at this, but it was interesting, so I decided to listen to it.

Just listen to it and understand why we all live in the same country, but different realities …

This is what Fox News and fake Pastors have done to America. It also has Close Caption, so you can read it.

Basically this pastor is a trump supporter trying to explain why we have the Virus, who created it (Deep State of course: Obama and Hillary). He got his information from “very well connected sources”. It has to do with 5G. He connects 9/11 and coronavirus. He explains why trump didn’t do anything at first. Then how he was forced to do things (by the media and illuminati).

Then he explains why trump will cancel the elections and remain president for another 4 years. At the end, he received a big applause from the congregation.

His big message (which actually sound strange). Don’t take the vaccine, if you have symptoms.

Personally, I always thought people get vaccinated before getting sick. After getting sick, you need to be treated … which is different. But, his fans agree …

Time to seriously reform American Businesses

If there was ever a time to reform American businesses and stop CEOs from profiting off the American taxpayers, this is the perfect time.

Boeing has run out of cash and will be to be taken over by the USA Government… I believe this is almost a certainty at this point. However, let’s not forget that their former CEO (trump’s Golf buddy) just go paid millions to quit.

There is no doubt that American Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest … etc will all need cash infusion and even Government guarantees to survive the summer. And that the Government will need to take ownership in these companies … one way or another. Remember GM in 2008?

Prior to any bailouts, rules must be put in place to stop these CEOs from enriching themselves again as soon as the chaos is over.

Some of the first rules that must be pushed onto these companies is that CEO total compensation MUST be tied to the average pay of workers.

Demand trump and the republican party give up their salary until January 2021

After inheriting a fortune from his parents, trump managed to bankrupt several companies and walked away. He was never made accountable.

After inheriting a fortune from President Obama (low unemployment, rising stock market, stable economy, effective pandemic preventing team,...), trump and the republican party have now managed to bankrupt a whole country.

I know there are still those who believe Obama wasn’t that great. WRONG. Look at the country on both sides of Obama’s presidency. We know the 8 years prior to Obama was a catastrophe. What do you think the 4 years after Obama will be remembered to be? A tsunami? We can’t even see the bottom at this point.

We now have a devastated economy. Soon we will hit the 10%+ unemployment. After trillions in tax cuts for his friends.

If trump and the republicans love their country, it is time we demand the following:

1. Renounce their salaries until at least January 2021 and beyond for those who manage to get re-elected.

2. Demand the Billionaires of America pay to get the country back on its feet. If there was ever a time when Elizabeth Warren was right, it is now. Billionaires must get taxed to pay for this mess.

3. We must stop printing money to pay for things we don’t have. The only fiscal responsibility America has … is to have billionaires pay for this mess.

4. Lay the foundation of a solid healthcare system that will cover all without any conditions.

Another reason why Elizabeth Warren is my choice for President: American CEOs Greed.

I’m a fan of Elizabeth Warren and I believe she will bring back sanity to America. She will restore our values, work for the people, make America respectable around the world again. As a business owner and a stock market investor, I know that a wealthy middle class also means wealthy businesses.

However, there are certain people in America, whose greed, deception, lies and … I have grown tired of. Unfortunately, these people have amassed so much money and “power”, they will be on every single TV from now until the election spreading lies to line up their pockets.

Some fools have been going on CNBC and acted like they know anything about the economy. These are the people who predicted Armageddon during President Obama presidency.

Now, they are making the rounds of every major network spreading lies and misinformation. Here is what this dude (CEO of some company, that I will be boycotting soon) said:

Omega Advisors CEO Leon Cooperman continued to express Wall Street’s panic over an Elizabeth Warren presidency when he said that “They won’t open the stock market if Elizabeth Warren is the next president.”

At the Delivering Alpha conference this week, Cooperman sounded the alarm about a Warren win by saying “There’s unquestionably a shift to the left in this country,” and adding “They won’t open the stock market if Elizabeth Warren is the next president.”

In between, this fool has revised his statement 100 times, but every time he has tried to smear Elizabeth Warren. I hope the American people will see through this BS…

If the stock market drops 25%, then it will mean an opportunity for me to buy low.

Do you remember this?

Do you remember this? The current resident in the WH said it in his own words during the 2016 campaign and we are 3 years into his presidency. It is materializing every single day.

I’m not even talking about the voters. I’m talking about the Republican party, the corporate media, the Billionaires, the Evangelicals, the Nazis. I have consolidated them into the Thug’s party. The Thugs will be on every show defending the actions of this thug in chief.

Anyone that believe that he is a “bug” or a “defect” is completely wrong. I’m convinced that this is the exact design of what some people have always intended America to be from the beginning.

These people have used excuses like “Abortion, Race, Welfare, Immigration, Feminism, Democracy, Communism, Tea Party, Taxes, Rules of Law, Hard work, ...etc” and their herd consistently falls for it.

This is about one and only one thing: Power and Control by a handful of people…(some White Men).

I’m not sure about you, but the 2020 election will define America forever. There is an America that is rotten to the core. But the good America cannot afford to lose this election.

According to the NY Times, Ginni Thomas (Yes, the wife of Clarence Thomas of the SCOTUS) and a group of hardcore Right Wing nuts (and well established racists, anti-immigrants) met with the Orange man (AKA tRump) last week.

Ginni supported lying Ted during the Primaries , but then switched to the Orange man, when it was clear he was going to win. She has always been very politically engaged and extremely outspoken against Democrats.

Here are some of the things they complained about:

Women shouldn’t serve in the Military, because “they have less muscle mass and lung capacity”
Gay marriage is harming the fabric of America
Congressional leaders (Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy) should be “tarred and feathered”
Many people they have recommended to be hired by the WH have been ignored, turned down or blocked.

Apparently, the Orange man didn’t say much during the meeting, only defending his buddies Mitch and Kevin.

I can’t remember how much conflict of interest this woman has created since her husband became SCOTUS. But this is not the first one. She was extremely active lobbying against Obamacare all these years. Emails showed, she was pushing travel ban early in 2018 … She had been sharing stuff about the so called “caravan” of immigrants coming to the USA … and lot more other right wing nonsense.

The USA Soccer team fails to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia

As a lover of the beautiful game, a youth coach and a former referee of the game, I was shocked to see that the USA failed to qualify for the 2018 WC by losing at Trinidad and Tobago (1-2). This is a devastating news for Soccer in America.

Soccer has really made massive strides in various areas over the last 30 years. A record number of young men ( and women) are not only playing the game, but are following the game well past their teenage years. MLS (Major League Soccer) has become so popular, it is expanding twice in the next few years to bring its team total to 28 teams. 10 market applied in the recent expansion round for a few places. Something that was unthinkable 10 years ago, when MLS struggled with attendance and sponsor issues.

MLS now averages over 21,000 per game. Atlanta recently had record breaking number of spectators at a single soccer game event with over 75,000. In Portland and Seattle, soccer has become a big event packing fans like Premiere League soccer Games. Seattle averages around 45,000 per game. This is a huge number for soccer. Players have been compensated well and the league has attracted star players as well as star coaches.

Soccer has also been an example of integration in the USA Society. Players, regardless of their ethnic background, national origin, and sexual orientation have always felt at home with USA soccer. Lots of players are first or second generation immigrants.

It is difficult to know the economic impact the failed qualification will have on USA Soccer. The Soccer world cup takes place every 4 years and is the most viewed event in the whole world. Nike (the main sponsor) and Fox Sports (who owns the USA rights) are not going to be happy about what just happened.
