Vote for Hillary Clinton & Tim Kaine & The Democratic Ticket!!! Denying climate change realities is genocide!!! Deniers like the Congressional Republicans, Donald Trump, and Mike Pence are postmodern genocists!!!

(M)an: Dude! The rapist Julian Assange, his secretive organization Wikileaks, and the Republican Party purposely constructed the cyberattack Friday that began on the East Coast of the United States and spread westward. You see, Julian Assange surfaced in the American Press Corps and International Press Corps recently for his secretive organization Wikileaks hacking the email account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John D. Podesta, which led the country of Ecuador to suspend Assange’s access to the Internet at their embassy in London, England where he is seeking refuge from Swedish authorities. Julian Assange raped two women in Sweden and the evidence in both cases is heavily documented and nearly identical, both women having contracted the same sexually transmitted disease from their predator and remembering the exact same details of the predator’s genitalia.  

(D)ude: Man! Assange has had four years to construct cyber-warfare from his current location at the Ecuadoran embassy in London, England. American voters must understand that this presidential election cycle is critical for not just US, but the world. Donald Trump and Mike Pence and the Republican Party are the caliphs of dark money and deliberate inaction. Look at the HIV/AIDS epidemic across Indiana while Mike Pence was Governor before becoming Donald Trump’s running mate. According to an online National Public Radio article by Angus Chen entitled STD Infections Rise To New Highs After States Close Health Clinics, 

The number of people infected with three major sexually transmitted diseases is at an all-time high, according to a CDC report released Wednesday [October 19, 2016] . And the increase in reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis is hitting teenagers and young adults hardest.

Over half of gonorrhea and chlamydia cases are in people under the age of 25, says Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention for the CDC.

These STDs can have serious long term health consequences, including chronic pain and fertility problems. Pregnant women can pass syphilis on to their children, leading to stillbirth or birth defects.

State and local budget cuts to STD care and prevention programs are major drivers in the surge in STDs, Mermin says. "Our ability to prevent STDs is only as strong as the public health infrastructure to support it," he says. "More than half of state and local STD programs have experienced budget cuts. In 2012, 20 health departments reported having to close their STD clinics."

Syphilis infections have been increasing at a particularly troubling rate, according to the report. In 2015, 23,872 cases were reported, a 19 percent increase since 2014. Syphilis cases have been going up over the past decade, while the spike in cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea is more recent. There were 395,216 cases of gonorrhea in 2015, for an increase of 13 percent, and 1.5 million cases of chlamydia, for an increase of 6 percent.

All three infections can be treated with antibiotics, though gonorrhea is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.

"This basically tells us we have to do a better job of reach out to some of these communities that are disproportionately affected by these infections," says Dr. Jose Bazan, a medical director for a STD clinic at Columbus Public Health and an assistant professor of internal medicine at Ohio State University who was not involved with the report.

Men who have sex with men face a greater risk of being infected with syphilis. Over 80 percent of male syphilis cases were reported among gay and bisexual males, and over 90 percent of all syphilis cases were in men. People in racial and sexual minority groups can have more than the usual trouble finding care for preventing and treating STDs.

According to a congressional briefing last April by Dr. Gail Bolan, the director for the CDC Division of STD Prevention, over 40 percent of health departments reduced clinic hours, screening, or tracing people who may have been infected. "If that infrastructure gets eroded, people are more likely to have their STDs for a longer period of time, and that can lead to increased transmission," Mermin says.

The federal government also helps fund state and local STD programs through the CDC, but federal funds have not helped make up for some of the budget cuts on the local level, according to David Harvey, the executive director for the National Coalition of STD Directors. "We believe there's a direct relationship between budget cuts and increases in STDs in the United States. There has been no federal increases for STD programs in this country since 2003," he says.

If the trend is to be reversed, Mermin says there needs to be a real investment in STD prevention so that clinics can monitor these diseases and quickly diagnose and treat people who are infected. "We've seen success in the past where investments have paid off," he says. "We know what we need to do. We just need to do it more effectively than we've been able to do with this eroding infrastructure."

M: Dude! We cannot accept the rashness of a Republican White House and a Republican Majority in both houses of the United States Congress. The American Press Corps and the International Press Corps are claiming there is no difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump because they are so-called “establishment candidates.” But there are enormous differences between Clinton and Trump. Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine are the most transparent presidential and vice presidential pairing since George Washington and John Adams.

D: Man! Donald Trump and Mike Pence are a return to the errors of the past beginning with Richard Nixon and Donald Rumsfeld, and concluding with George Walker Bush and Dick Cheney. Actually, Donald Trump and Mike Pence want to return to the errors of Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney very specifically. Trump and Pence want all-out warfare in the Middle East and American boots on the ground. Trump and Pence use the term “American strength” to refer to their plan for war, whereas George Walker Bush and Dick Cheney used the term “American exceptionalism.” 

M: Dude! Doesn’t the corrupt American Press Corps not see the obvious disasters that will be implemented by a Trump and Pence administration? Why doesn’t the American Press Corps read Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine’s book entitled Stronger Together: A Blueprint for America’s Future? Why does the American Press Corps not invest the time to read such a historic document in the history of the United States presidency? 

D: Man! You are right. The American Press Corps is corrupt. The cyberattack Friday was not just a joint endeavor between the rapist Assange with a minority of GOP leaders, but the entire Republican Party standing behind a designated presidential candidate who boasted and bragged publicly about his history of sexual assault. 

M: Dude! The American Press Corps refuses to admit its role in bringing out obstructionism in 2010 with the Tea Party deluge it exhaustively favored and that produced many of the Congressional Republicans up for reelection this year. The American Press Corps refuses to admit its role in bringing about a culture of depravity where victims are blamed for the dire circumstances they face. You’ve got local and state governments like those across Texas with Republicans in charge and neglecting the need to address the crumbling infrastructure in a genocidal rage that the American Press Corps too is guilty of indulging in. Clearly, the top 1% doesn’t care for the welfare of the rest of the 99% of US! 

D: Man! Hence, the elected Republican officials in places like Tarrant County are pocketing funds that otherwise would be invested in rebuilding the collapsing levees and dams and sinking roads and highways. Ironically, wealthy neighborhoods are no longer immune to disaster. Look at the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. Actually, look at the way the neoconservative personalities and Republican Party leadership dealt with the storm front even before it landed. Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report and Rush Limbaugh played down the severity of Hurricane Matthew and blamed the Democratic Party leadership for wanting to sell the idea of climate change when in fact many died as a result of the deliberate misreporting on part of these radio and television and print neocons. 

M: Dude! And now the Republican Party leadership wants to relocate the victims of Hurricane Matthew, while the Democratic Party leadership wants to rebuild.  

D: Man! Denying climate change realities is genocide. American voters must understand that Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine are willing to take on the challenges and rebuild US from the bottom up and through the middle out, whereas Donald Trump and Mike Pence clearly only want  to amass fortune through warfare and building on the plundering tactics that Republican Party officials at the state and local levels across the United States have perfected.  

M: Dude! Early voting begins tomorrow across the State of Texas. The New York Times’ Nicole Perlroth reported the following on Friday, after the cyberattack made the New York Times itself inaccessible as well as Twitter, Visa, Netflix, Spotify, Etsy, and Reddit, 

It is too early to determine who was behind Friday’s attacks, but it is this type of attack that has election officials concerned. They are worried that an attack could keep citizens from submitting votes.

Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia allow internet voting for overseas military and civilians. Alaska allows any Alaskan citizen to do so. Barbara Simons, the co-author of the book “Broken Ballots: Will Your Vote Count?” and a member of the board of advisers to the Election Assistance Commission, the federal body that oversees voting technology standards, said she had been losing sleep over just this prospect.

“A DDoS attack could certainly impact these votes and make a big difference in swing states,” Dr. Simons said on Friday. “This is a strong argument for why we should not allow voters to send their voted ballots over the internet.”

D: Man! We got to get out and vote for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine! Like Clinton and Kaine state in their masterwork, page 4,

But there are still people in Congress who insist on cutting taxes for the wealthy instead of investing in our future.

They careen from one self-inflicted crisis to another — shutting down the government, threatening to default on our national debt, refusing to make the commonsense investments that used to have broad bipartisan support, like rebuilding our roads, bridges, railways, airports, water systems and electric grid, or investing in better education from early childhood through high school and college.

M: Dude! Take your driver’s license to the early voting site tomorrow. If you are concerned about having been issued a false voter registration card, take another form of identification besides your driver’s license. I will be taking the information I printed out on myself using the online Voter Lookup website for Tarrant County at gisit.tarrantcounty.com.

D: Man! Did you print out my Voter Lookup info too?

M: Dude! Of course! The printout has a map of the early voting polling stations where you can cast your ballot from October 24, 2016 to November 4, 2016. There are several locations listed as well as your state voter identification and county voter identification numbers. You see?

Republican Architect of Voter Suppression in 2016 Texas: Carlos H. Cascos

(D)ude: Man! Hillary Clinton far surpassed Donald Trump at the final presidential debate yesterday, Wednesday, October 19, 2016. However, the television pundits and political channels are aligned with the Republican Party and Donald Trump because there is an absence of unbiased media in the United States of America. 

(M)an: Dude! There is a new method of throwing voters off on Election Day, Tuesday, November 8, 2016, that the Texas Secretary of State’s Office is utilizing in order to effect the outcome of the election with results favoring Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. 

D: Man! How are the local and state legislators in the State of Texas throwing off voters?

M: Dude! I received a Voter Registration Certificate in my mailbox with a fraudulent barcode on the bottom that was faded and accompanied by a highlighter orange barcode on the other side. The cornflower blue voter registration card fake matched the authentic one I received in the mail formally some time last year when my previous pumpkin orange voter registration card had expired.  

D: Man! How do I know whether or not the Voter Registration Card I receive in the mail before Election Day, November 8, 2016, is authentic or a fake?

M: Dude! There is a square barcode scan and three accompanying rectangular barcodes on the front of the authentic voter registration certificates or cards. Look for the barcode scan and see if you can scan it with your smartphone. Plus, the fake voter registration certificate card I received lacks the name and mailing address barcode entirely, while the original clearly shows not just the barcode but a corresponding number underneath the barcode above one’s name and address.

D: Man! I’m determined to vote for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine regardless of all the obstacles being placed by the Elections Division of Texas’s Secretary of State Carlos Cascos’s office to prevent me from voting! What if I receive a fake voter registration card in the mail at the very last minute? Carlos Cascos is a Republican and engaging in voter registration fraud that has not been detected by the Democratic National Committee yet. What are we to do?

M: Dude! There are organizations you can turn to for assistance in figuring out the authenticity of your voter registration card. The Texas Democratic Party has local offices all over Texas that are willing to answer questions and address such concerns. Contact them by phone at their Austin, Texas headquarters at (512) 478-9800 or go online and contact them through the form located at the following web address: act.txdemocrats.org.

D: Man! I’m trying to go to that web address as we speak, but being redirected to the following web address instead: contribute.txdemocrats.org.

M: Dude! Go to the following web address: txdemocrats.org. What do you see on your smartphone’s screen?

D: Man! There is an orange popup screen at the bottom of the webpage asking for contributions! 

M: Dude! Is there an option to close that orange popup screen? There should be a box on the top right hand corner of the orange popup screen with a translucent “X” in its middle.

D: Man! Got it! 

M: Dude! Now scroll down to the end of the webpage screen and you will find the telephone number and P.O. Box address of the Texas Democrats. There is a “Contact Us” link which leads to a contact form that you can fill out online and submit immediately with your questions and concerns. Underneath this form you will find the physical address for the Texas Democrats in Austin, Texas. Got it? 

D: Man! Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine are absolutely right when they insist on automated voting in the United States! This election is a revolution! We the people must decide between transparency and creating history with Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, or a sociopolitical blackout with Donald Trump and Mike Pence regurgitating the history of nationalism, protectionism, and antiglobalization that have defined the Republican Party since Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney first stepped inside the Oval Office during the Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford presidencies.

"How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?" [2016 Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan]

(M)an: Dude! The Sahir Ludhianvi of America won the Nobel Prize in Literature yesterday! 

(D)ude: Man! Bob Dylan! You know, Bob Dylan and Sahir Ludhianvi both stood on similar ground in terms of their perspectives. Sahir Ludhianvi was the poet-lyricist who was loved by liberal movie industry directors, the outstanding Yash Chopra and Guru Dutt. Chopra and Dutt were revolutionary in their stance concerning the great divide politically constructed by corrupt politicians between Pakistan and India. Multicultured and sophisticated, a lot of the people in Indo-Pak during these three brilliant men’s lives shared a desire for peaceful resolutions to conflicts, which continue to this day due to imbeciles like the genocidal Narendra Modi and the BJP in India and retired playboy cricketeer-corrupt philanthropist Imran Khan in Pakistan.  

M: Dude! Americans need to go out and register to vote and then cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine in this year’s presidential race. We cannot afford American imbeciles like  Donald Trump and the Congressional Republicans to take control of the White House and remain the Majority Party inside the United States Congress any longer. As Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine clearly dissect the congressional Republicans’ obstructionism and sequester in their master blueprint for getting the American economy working for all Americans and not just Wall Street charlatans and heisters like Donald Trump and Mike Pence, we cannot afford to collapse into the mess that got US into the Great Recession at the end of George Walker Bush’s presidency, beginning with the following from Clinton and Kaine’s book entitled, rightfully so, Stronger Together and available at bookstores and online as well. This is how they start off in the direction of Democratic compassion favoring the American people’s best interests over corporate interests that congressional Republicans represent so ruthlessly, on page 4,

First, too many of our representatives in Washington are in the grips of a failed economic theory called trickle-down economics. It has been proven wrong again and again. But there are still people in Congress who insist on cutting taxes for the wealthy instead of investing in our future.

They careen from one self-inflicted crisis to another — shutting down the government, threatening to default on our national debt, refusing to make the commonsense investments that used to have broad bipartisan support, like rebuilding our roads, bridges, railways, airports, water systems and electric grid, or investing in better education from early childhood through high school and college.

And yes, too many special interests and too many lobbyists have stood in the way of progress while protecting the perks of the privileged few.

D: Man! You know, before people dismiss the Clinton and Kaine thoroughly documented paperback text blueprint for our future, they need to be reassured that Clinton and Kaine’s research and insights are being embraced all over the world. 

M: Dude! How do you do that? How do you reassure?

D: Man! Very easily! 

M: Dude! How so?

D: Man! There are two extraordinary academics who will be joining Bob Dylan at the December 10, 2016, reception in Sweden where this year’s laureates will be formally awarded their Nobel Prizes.

M: Dude! And who are they?

D: Man! This year’s Nobel Prize in Economics recipients, Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmstrom.   

M: Dude! How do they validate or confirm what Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine layout in their book Stronger Together: A Blueprint for America’s Future?

D: Man! If you continue reading where you left off in the Clinton and Kaine book a brief moment ago, you will find Clinton and Kaine making the exact same argument that Harvard’s Oliver Hart and MIT’s Bengt Holmstrom have confirmed with their exhaustive multidisciplinary research incorporating over two decades worth of cutting edge insight. So acutely current in relevancy to the going-ons in the private and public sectors within the United States, Hart and Holmstrom’s work is very easily broken down into simple terms by the Associated Press’s Paul Riseman and Karl Ritter. 

M: Dude! Sure. Let’s see, page 4… all right! According to Clinton and Kaine,

It’s not just Washington. 

Too many corporations have embraced policies that favor hedge funds and other big shareholders and top management at the expense of their workers, communities, and even their long-term value.

While corporate profits are at near-record highs, paychecks for most people have barely budged. Income and wealth inequality in America today has reached levels not seen since the 1920s. Corporate executives are making millions while working families are barely scraping by. The very richest Americans — the top one-tenth of 1 percent — now have nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. More than four out of ten children born into the lowest-income families never climb out of poverty. Leaders in Washington let Wall Street take big risks with unregulated financial activities, skewed our tax code toward the wealthy, failed to enforce trade rules, and undermined workers’ rights. 

A survey of corporate executives found that more than half would hold off making a successful long-term investment if it meant missing a target in the next quarterly earnings report. In another recent survey, more than 60 percent said that pressure to provide short-term returns has increased over the previous five years.

We also know that publicly held companies facing pressure from shareholders are less likely to invest in growth opportunities than their privately held counterparts. American business needs to break free from the tyranny of today’s earnings report so they can do what they do best: innovate, invest, and build tomorrow’s prosperity.

What if an activist hedge fund had persuaded AT&T to maximize cash flow and close Bell Labs before the transistor or the laser was invented there?

What if Xerox had decided that its Palo Alto research park wasn’t doing enough to boost share prices in the short term? A young Steve Jobs would never have visited and the personal computer revolution might not have happened.

What if Congressional budget cuts had shut down DARPA — the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency — before it developed the early Internet?

The kind of “quarterly capitalism” that dominates today is neither legally required nor economically sound. It’s bad for business, bad for wages, and bad for our economy. And fixing it — by rewriting the rules so companies treat workers as assets to be invested in rather than costs to be cut, and finally making sure the wealthy, Wall Street, and  big corporations pay their fair share of taxes — will be good for everyone.

D: Man! Riseman and Ritter of the Associated Press summed up the two decades long pursuits in contract theory by Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmstrom in easy to understand language. As Riseman and Ritter explained with fluidity and ease on October 10, 2016, 

Let insiders easily cash in stock options, as Enron did, and you risk seeing executives abandon a failing company. Encourage contractors to sacrifice quality to cut costs and you might cause problems like those that led the U.S. Justice Department to phase out privately run prisons.

Designing contracts is a tricky business. For their groundbreaking work on how to make contracts fairer and more effective, Oliver Hart of Harvard University and Bengt Holmstrom of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology won the 2016 Nobel prize for economics Monday. They will share the 8 million kronor ($930,000) award for their contributions to contract theory.

For decades, the two men have studied practical problems involving the countless kinds of contracts that underlie modern commerce: How should companies pay their executives? What types of tasks should government agencies outsource to private contractors? How best to write an auto insurance policy to protect drivers from financial loss without lulling them into carelessness?

Pay packages, Holmstrom's work suggests, are best tailored to avoid either punishing or rewarding CEOs for happenings beyond their control.

"You don't want to reward the CEO because the S&P 500 (stock index) has gone up 20 percent," said Patrick Bolton of Columbia University Business School, who studied under Hart and has written a textbook on the economics of contracts. "You want to reward the CEO when his company outperforms the S&P."

Likewise, companies fare best when they establish pay packages that incentivize executives to prioritize the long term as much as the short term, to avoid focusing too much on quarterly profit expectations.

"These kinds of insights into how we should design contracts are very important because we don't want to give the wrong incentives to people," said Tomas Sjostrom, a member of the Nobel committee. "We don't want to reward them for things that they were not responsible for. We want to reward the right thing."

M: Dude! I was in a car accident the other day. Remember? I called the police department and they informed us that unless there were bodily injuries sustained by either of the drivers and passengers in the cars, they could not afford to dispatch police officers to the scene of the accident. 

D: Man! No! That’s terrible! What happened at the scene of the accident?

M: Dude! I had to call my car insurance company to fill in the role of arbiter that the police officer or officers would have been assigned if Texas had not been in such a financial mess after substantially cutting the police force. The roads are sinking because of neglect throughout Texas. Like Wal-Mart, the locally elected officials are totally focused on quick fixes rather than long-term investments in infrastructure. The pavements around residential neighborhoods are also sinking and blacktop bitumen is being used, as at Wal-Mart, to repair the damages. And the quick fixes need to be readdressed days later as the blacktop bitumen too wears off.

Republican Operatives within the Democratic Party 2016

(D)ude: Man! Former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner is a Republican operative disguised as a diehard Bernie Sanders surrogate who refuses to read Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine’s thorough 2016 blueprint for our future as a United States of America entitled Stronger Together. Like Nina Turner, another Republican operative has infiltrated the Clinton campaign with disparaging choice of words to respond to Donald Trump’s inexplicably cruel claim during the second debate that Captain Humayun Khan would not have died if he had been president then. Of course, Jesse Lehrich’s expletive over Twitter addressing Trump’s insulting a Gold Star Family only proves the level of depravity that the Republican Party is utilizing in order to cheat itself back into Majority Party status in the United States Congress and White House. Jesse Lehrich must be discharged of his duties as a Clinton spokesperson immediately. Hillary Clinton cannot afford to have such Republican infiltrates misguiding her stellar campaign.

(M)an: Dude! Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell have lost what I considered to be better judgment than many primetime newscasters. Maddow and O’Donnell’s interns and staffers are working with a Republican bias since Microsoft stopped financing MSNBC. There is no progressive media in the United States of America. The Republican financiers have managed to degrade Maddow and O’Donnell’s shows substantially over the course of the last two months, a critical time frame given that we are in a presidential election cycle. But that has been the Republican strategy from the time of Richard Nixon. What was Watergate? Essentially, it was a case where journalistic ethics thwarted the oncoming barrage of corruption in United States politics, which is being challenged again by the Republican Party and its frontrunner Donald Trump.

D: Man! Former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner must read the Clinton and Kaine new millennium blueprint. Beginning on page 29, Clinton and Kaine respond to the crises facing communities like Flint, Michigan very specifically with actual action steps that they want constituents to hold them accountable for implementing if Clinton and Kaine win the White House this November 8, 2016. The breadth of Clinton and Kaine’s responsiveness is incredible and empathic,


Flint, Michigan, is a city of 99,000 people — 56 percent African American, four in ten living below the poverty line — that spent nearly two years drinking poisoned water.

As a result, thousands of kids were exposed to harmful levels of lead, which can irreparably harm brain development and cause learning and behavioral problems.

But the problems in Flint go beyond the lead in the water. Years of underinvestment in the city created a hollowed-out community without enough jobs or opportunity for the people who live there. Not enough families have access to the quality education their children deserve. And the people of Flint have too little political power, which left them vulnerable to harm and indifference. For the two years that Flint was living with poisoned water, residents’ concerns were downplayed and ignored by state government.

There are too many Flints in this country — too many places where overwhelmingly low-income communities and communities of color face chronic pollution, exposure to toxic chemicals, and staggering neglect. From Flint to Albuquerque, Baltimore to El Paso, Cleveland to Chicago, there are still opportunity deserts — parts of cities, towns, and rural communities that have been cut off from jobs, investment, and, all too often, hope. It’s time for that to change.

The hard truth is that we still face complex set of economic, social, and political challenges as a nation. It is not enough to create jobs if we do not also take on the reality of systemic racism. It is not enough to transition to a clean energy future if we let the coal communities that kept our lights on for generations sit in the dark. These challenges are intersectional, mutually reinforcing, and we have to take on all of them.

We’ll start addressing them by:

1.   Breaking down barriers for communities of color. People of color face disproportionately high barriers to starting a small business, buying a home, and even getting a job. For instance, African Americans and Latinos tend to have about half the capital of white men when they start a business — and that gap actually widens as their businesses mature. We will provide mentoring, training, and access to small business incubators to 50,000 entrepreneurs in underserved communities and expand federal funding to support small businesses. We will support initiatives in underserved communities to match up to $10,000 in savings for responsible homeowners who earn less than the area median income put toward the down payment on a first home. And we will create a new “Infrastructure to Opportunity” fund to make the kinds of investments that better connect people to opportunity, including better transit systems, high speed broadband, and safer, healthier schools.

2.   Honoring our Tribal communities. We will begin by honoring the trust and treaty responsibilities of the U.S. government. The Native American unemployment rate is nearly double the national average. Too many Native youth don’t feel like they really matter to America. With over 40 percent of the Native community under the age of twenty-four, we know that investment in Native American youth is a critical step toward building strong communities and spurring economic revitalization. We will continue to support the Generation Indigenous program that has made important strides in promoting new investments and increased engagement with Native American youth. We will empower Tribal governments to help their own citizens combat drug and alcohol addiction by implementing preventive programming, investing in treatment and recovery, and ensuring that all first responders have access to naloxone.

3.    Building a bright future for coal communities. For generations, America’s coal communities kept our lights on and our factories humming. But employment in coal mining has been on the decline for decades, and layoffs have increased as the United States gets more energy from cleaner sources, like natural gas and renewable energy. Just as we are committed to tackling climate change, we are committed to making sure America’s coal communities remain a vital part of our economic future. We will make sure coal workers and their families get the benefits they’ve earned and the respect they deserve by protecting health care and pensions. And we are prepared to invest billions in building a strong future for coal country, by building new infrastructure, repurposing abandoned mine lands and power plants to host new businesses, expanding and simplifying the New Markets Tax Credit to attract more private investment to coal country, and creating a Coal Communities Challenge Fund to support locally driven economic development priorities in areas like small business development, health care, housing, clean energy, and tourism.

4.   Supporting youth jobs. Roughly one in ten Americans between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four is unemployed, more than twice the national average. And these numbers hide devastating racial disparities: the unemployment rate for African American teenagers is almost twice that of white teenagers, while the unemployment rate for Latino teenagers is roughly a quarter higher. Being unemployed at a young age can have a permanent “scarring effect” as a person ages, contributing to lower wages and longer periods of unemployment later in life. We will create millions of jobs for young people in hard-hit communities through new grant programs and partnerships; invest in “opportunity youth,” the approximately 2.3 million young people are neither in work nor in school, by expanding successful jobs and skills programs; and expand high-quality apprenticeship programs that provide young people an opportunity to earn a paycheck while they learn valuable skills.

5.     Investing in rural America. Forty-six million people live in rural America, but too many rural communities struggle with high levels of poverty and unemployment, and lack access to health care and affordable education. We will invest in the next generation of family farms, expand access to  capital for rural small businesses, invest in biofuels and other clean energy solutions, and support new advances in telemedicine that will help rural communities get more timely health care.

6.    Target more investment to communities left out and left behind. Some communities and neighborhoods struggle with generational poverty, decade after decade, in which those born in poverty stay there throughout their lives. To increase public and private investment in these hardest-hit communities, we will explore policies like South Carolina Representative Jim Clyburn’s 10-20-30 proposal, in which 10 percent of program dollars are directed to communities where 20 percent or more of the population has been living in poverty for 30 years or longer. We will expand the New Markets Tax Credit, which has successfully steered billions in private investment for economic development activities, so more communities can benefit.  

M: Dude! Democratic Senator from Minnesota Amy Klobuchar was on Rachel Maddow’s show on MSNBC before the first presidential debate and Maddow addressed the legislator with such lewd disrespect. This was Friday, September 30, 2016. Before then, Lawrence O’Donnell invited neoconservative radio host Glenn Beck on Wednesday, September 28, [2016] to discuss the fabrication that is the Republican Party’s leadership not being aligned with Donald Trump.

D: Man! Of course it is a fabrication! In fact, it is an all-out lie that the Republican Party’s leadership is not aligned with Donald Trump! Nina Turner, a former career Democrat, is aligned with the Republican Party! Nina Turner has been promised a GOP leadership position in the near future if the Republicans manage to maintain their Majority Party status in the United States Congress. Nina Turner’s son, who is a police officer, has been promised a raise and eventual promotion to Chief of Police.

M: Dude! Nina Turner better watch out. The Republican donors list is saturated with folks who are aligned historically to KKK precursors like the John Birch Society, the Koch Brothers being an infamous example. Nina Turner will get ahead as an African American sellout to the Republican Party, but at the price of destroying her demographic of African American intellectuals who must understand that Republican financiers have made tremendous multibillion dollar investments in 2015 and 2016 to buy folks like Nina Turner at the local and state levels where they, the Republican donors, have essentially abandoned constituents with their own special interests and local and state Republican leaders who are really just pocketing huge sums of money originally set aside for constituent concerns like rebuilding the failing and literally falling infrastructure. Republican local and state level officials need to be held accountable for heisting first responders’ pensions and the federal assistance they sought but never implemented in the interest of constituents, but built personal wealth with for themselves underhandedly.

D: Man! Another Republican operative, the statistician Nate Silver, a Republican sellout since 2011 and 2012, must understand that his misreporting statistics through the Press Corps, another major Republican operative and sellout, is not working at all. Men are not voting for the GOP and Donald Trump this election cycle, including blue collars like us! Why? Because, simply stated, no one — man or woman — votes for their own destruction and death! Donald Trump and the Republican Party and the Press Corps are death sentencers.

M: Dude! I agree! Poverty is a universal, not divided up into the way the Republicans and Donald Trump make it seem with their nonsense “PC” lingo. Ending “political correctness” is just Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s attempt to sever the rule of law in the United States and kill American democracy and diplomacy with riots and unrest amongst constituents who have already had their local and state treasuries stripped bare of all financial assets. And the Republican Party and their official spokesperson Donald Trump plan to heist government treasuries around the world, beginning with US and Poland.

D: Man! The Weimar Republic fell to Adolf Hitler then.
