CRONY NATION
CRONY NATION
Some people have noted the difference in the management culture of law enforcement between the City of Binghamton, NY and next-door neighbor JCPD. While the culture in Binghamton seems quite authoritarian, ultimately they appear to create more problems for themselves than does the style of the JCPD.
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
Showing up to sooth the masses seem like a good idea for politicians; the fly in the ointment is suspicious photo ops devoid of explanation of dictatorial presumption.
TALK SHOW NATION
TALK SHOW NATION
Not to nit-pick every misstatement when unintentional, but Trump has built a political Presidential campaign on attributing to others the failings of others while he rides his own wave of lies to an untenable extent.
EGO
We would do us a favor to remember that democracy is different from capitalism because democracy is inclusive and capitalism is hierarchical with white males owning the system and excluding whom they wish
VOTER RESPONSIBILITY
VOTER RESPONSIBILITY
Neera Tandon, a Democratic campaign strategist loud and prominent in 2020, was back speaking about Biden’s new attempts to lower drug prices. Wasn’t she the obnoxious person who characterized universal-health care advocate Bernie Sanders as “making her skin crawl”?….Like anyone cared.
MORALITY IN GOVERNMENT
MORALITY IN GOVERNMENT
C-Span rendered an enormous benefit by airing each of Marianne Williamson and Cornel West, both expressing actual morality in government. To air such voices is of critical importance for the mindset of Americans, who have recently been indoctrinated into acceptance of hierarchical capitalism that on a continuum is organized crime, in place of liberty and democracy.

Citizens United and voter somnolence are probably the reasons laws have been passed that have created our current oligarchy.
JUSTIFIED
Justified
C-Span hosted a discussion this morning on Washington Journal as to whether the US should continue to fund genocide by Israel toward Palestinians. It is convenient that the issues of racism and anti-semitism can be raised on “both sides”. During the 2020 Presidential-electoral-campaign cycle, racism was used prominently as some people whitewashed skin color over character as motivating voter strategy.

The jarring dissidence between choosing the courage to be a whistle blower followed by suicide due to being a whistle blower must be obvious to many people.
HAPPY VALLEY
HAPPY VALLEY
The discussion on C-Span opened the door in the minds of some people of bygone days in Happy Valley, AKA The Southern Tier of NYS. A presumption is totalitarianism.
RUSSIAN STYLE 1-CANDIDATE ELECTIONS
The C-Span call in is for Republicans only, on the question of whether Nikki Haley should stay in the race. Apparent MAGA callers want her censored out of the race, according to their comments.
SEPARATION OF POWER
For those who argue that we are a Constitutional Republic and not a democracy, one wishes an explanation that the People’s Republic of China is labeled communistic. Both democracy and communism are process, and to mix the two with the notion of a Republic is word play.
MAY We ASK A QUESTION?
If Representatives Of The People hold dual citizenship, to which nation do she/he legislate? Should this info be transparent?
EDUCATED INTO COMPLIANCE
Local communities have choices to make that will create the future into which future children will live.
