Now that we have installed a new President of the USA, there is an expectation of "unity". This is, to me, and odd expectation. Since the inception of the Democratic party, the Democratic party  has been at odds with others. They have continued to do whatever that they wanted to do, at the expense of the people that they govern. 

Weather it is the stealing of land via the "Native Indian Removal Act of 1830", or the "Revenue Act of 1913", or the creation of the  "Fair Labor Standards Act of 1933, or the end of the "Gold Standard" by FDR in 1933. The Democratic party has been at the for front of hurting people that they either do not like, or do not trust. 

My expections of the newly installed president are:

1. Hurting everyone that isn't registered into the Democratic party

2. Hurting every one that isn't rich

3. Hurting everyone that disagrees with the Democratic party

4. Pushing the poverty level up by raising taxes, and requiring a $15.00 per hour income for employees for all businesses.

5. Accelerating the drive to expensive, short distance, electric vehicles.

So far I have not been disappointed in the level of hurt  that they have inflected in just under a month in for the new president. 

That's how I see it,

 It is important to remember, in the USA, that there is no law that requires a office holder to concede an election to their opponent. Public offices are held for specific lengths of time. If the incumbent looses their bid for reelection, they serve out their term,  and then the newly elected office holder is sworn in. 

In the USA presidential elections are recounted once, candidates can request recounts but they must pay for them. Once the States certify the election, the electors of the electoral college cast their votes, and a winner is declared.  The transition between presidential administrations has zero to do with conceding. That is just ho it is.

 As we come up to the Presidential election, please remember that it is nobody's business who you voted for, it is not ok to vilify people that voted differently than you, and there is always a looser. 

Take care, and VOTE.

 The US Constitution lists, and explicitly defines the roles and responsibilities, of the President of the USA. For a person elected to congress to state that the president cannot act upon his responsibly is ludicrous. While the president can, and should, put up another person to fill a vacant Supreme Court justice position. It is not something congress has the power to forbid. 

That's how I see it.

 It is a matter of public record that Oregon's governor spent over 2 million in salary raises to members of Oregon's government officials. It is also a matter of record that the Governor limited fire fighting monies to less than 14 million. I am not sure why a commissioner head, Oregon has at least 36 commissions, deservers 10 grand or more a month. It would seem to me that the people taking the risks should get paid more, and there should be more of them, rather than someone that has zero expertise in the commission that they oversee. Perhaps just me. Egor

Riot for any reason, and show just how really stupid you are.

The only stake holders in the Zimmerman trial were Zimmerman and the sadly deceased.
When a criminal trial in Florida causes riots in LA we can only think one thing . . . California is full of really stupid people and they all live in LA.

Just the way  we see it.

US Senate Is Obstructing, Again

The House of Representatives passes a good tax measure/funding bill. The Senate passes a bad tax/funding bill. It would appear that the Senate is not going to do the will of the people, which is a shame.

We wonder what the Senate has against the people they are supposed to represent, but wait, they represent special interests, and the unions - not us.

That is how we see it.
