Chicago Elections

Run off elections for Chicago Mayor!I believe why Mayor Rahm Emanuel was forced into a runoff election is due to his closing 50 Chicago schools mainly in African American neighborhoods.Also his unfair labor practices towards the teachers union and labor in general is what provoked this action.

BORING!

I am talking about the OSCARS!Once upon a time the Oscars were a very cultured and entertaining event.That is no longer the case.To have to sit and watch evy single award be presented with an overabundance of commercials is beyond ridiculous.One of the few bright spots was Lady Gagas performance with Julie Andrews coming out afterward.Lady Gaga performed songs from the Sound os Music which premiered 50 years ago and starred Andrews.Also the theme song from the movie Selma was preformed which was also a high point.I do believe Selma was shafted which was by the far the best picture.Also with none of its stars being nominated was pathetic.I imagine the people who decide the awards are filled with grumpy old white people..The host was not good either.Having to come out in his under ware showed desperation.Next year I think I will record it and only watch about an hour of it.Glad its over.

tough on defense WRONG!

GOP the party of hypocrites,zealots and insurgents.Not only are you guys phony patriots but now you are like an indirect ally of ISIS.By holding the homeland security budget hostile! You are not only putting the nations security in danger.You are indirectly aligning yourselves with ISIS.Yes by watching all this infighting you are letting them know that you do not put the security of the country as a top priority.They will take advantage of this!GOP join ISIS your right  wing philosophy does not belong here.Hope you are proud of yourselves.

ashamed of some americans

Maybe they just cant help themselves,or maybe they are just to miserable and ignorant.I am talking about mainly older white Americans who continue to talk nasty about our first African American president!It is shameful.Now I am sure as usual race is a major part of this.On the the up side this voting block is becoming out numbered by the under 30 crowd and minorities .Thank goodness the old fashioned macho white male will no longer rule this country!t is this type of attitude that makes ashamed at times to be an American.However thanks to the new voting block I do not have to feel this way!

old white people

Here we go again.The grumpy old white folks just cannot get over their stubborn ways.Just look at their candidates Scott Walker hater of the working class,Jeb Bush,just what we need another Bush!And last but not least bridge gate Chris Cristy.Fortunately the grumpy old white people will soon be out numbered by progressive young people and the minority vote.

Illinois Govnor a joke

Illinois's new GOP Governor Bruce Rauner has made his first assault on labor unions.The anti workers Gov issued an executive order that fair share workers who work for the state do not have to pay union dues.Fair Share workers are those who choose not to join the union but are still required to pay a portion of the dues.It should be noted that fair share employees still have the same right of dues paying members with the exception of voting for union officers.The misguided and evil governor took action after a U.S supreme court ruled that home health care workers who do not belong to the union due not have to pay dues.However this order most likely will fail.First the supreme court did find that full time employees are still required to pay dues.Also there is a good chance that the Illinois supreme court will overrule this.Next since the Illinois legislature is controlled by a super majority of of democrats who are key allies of the states labor unions.All this is a joke! What this disgusting order is really about is creating right to work zones.Eventually Rauner would like Illinois to become a right to work state.However that right now will never happen with not only a democratic controlled legislature even some GOP members of the legislature are union allies.Bruce Rauner a jackass and a joke!

Weapons NO

For once the U.S.needs to listen to its European counterparts.No weapon to Ukraine.Why escalate.This statement is more directed towards Congress then President Obama.The Chancellor of Germany has it right!

HA HA GOP

So GOP now that your in the majority how do you feel about being blocked in the senate through the almighty filibuster.Ha!HA! Now it is your turn to be blocked!All you have is hate legislation against the dreamers.Well guess what guys,Your so called power is nothing.You have gained NOTHING!So what do you pathetic traders want to do?Prevent funding of the homeland security department.Give me a break!I am sure ISIS is laughing over the infighting.

Having it both ways.

The title of this post reflects former Florida Governor Jeb Bushes immigration policy. It looks like Jeb took a page from the Mitt Romney policy.That silly policy is self deportation.The guy says he is pro immigration but against the presidents executive order.So what is his plan?The Romney plan?Yea right! We have had enough of the Bush Crime Family!

The Deficit

Well for all you silly anti President Obama and tea party insurgents here is what is happening.The debt went from 1 trillion to $483 million in 2014.Thanks to economic growth.Unemployment way down to 5.6%.More then 200.000 jobs created every months.Good Jobs too!So what is the problem.RACE!
