Clinton Campaign Is a Tale of the (Un)Expected

Hillary Clinton's announcement that she would be seeking the Democratic nomination was to be expected. However many things that have happened since her announcement were unexpected. Who among us expected that a veteran politician like Clinton would bungle her campaign rollout as she has? Clinton along with a few trusted aids, piled in a van she dubbed the "Scooby doo van" and embarked on a cross country tour. The stop in Maumee, Ohio outside of Toledo caused the most controversy. Clinton and an aid entered a Chipotle in sunglasses and went completely unrecognized. Clinton most astonishingly failed to identify herself or speak to anyone in the restaurant before leaving with her grub. Two weeks after her announcement Clinton has yet to speak to the press. She has been continuously dogged by the controversy surrounding her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of State. Now serious questions have arisen regarding Clinton foundation donors and possible influence peddling while she served in the Obama administration.

It was long expected that Hilary would run, however it wasn't expected that she would bungle so badly this soon out of the gate. How long does she think she can avoid addressing her numerous scandals? The competition on the democratic side is extremely thin, only little known longshot Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont throwing his hat in the ring this week. Clinton may be counting on getting the nomination by default, which is highly possible. A debate with the admitted socialist Sanders will indeed be fun. Let's hope that Hilary will do the unexpected, sit down for a serious interview with a respectable reporter and address her many skeletons.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
