Bread and Circuses's JournalThis election was stolen-seditious conspiracy
Interesting that the Trump goons were not out. Silent. They usually go to county clerk’s offices and start protesting about cheating.
My hypothesis. The vote was fudged at local county election offices in all swing states.
There are votes that were deleted for VP Harris. Trump knew this , that’s why he never tempered his words.
Russia organized the election fraud, funded by billionaires. With the support of Christo-Fascists they got enough votes for the Felon from misogynists, racists and dumbf*cks to make the data look reasonable. All they had to do is delete the votes that put Harris in the win column.
Tell me I’m wrong. I will not countenance criticism of VP Harris’ campaign. She had the ground game, the social media network, huge volunteers and a passionate message of joy and opportunity.
This is the confederacy seeking its’ revenge and they’re doing it now with success with the gleeful billionaires, Legacy media, misinformation trolls all playing their part.
Make no mistake. Winter Has Come to the USA. Fear and hate is an addiction that Felon voters crave.
Thoughts- georgia, texas, florida and the future
I'm heartbroken. I've sent money to Val and Tracy and Beto .
I do know that Dems have posted some good wins. However, we must recognize that the Civil War confederacy remains and is strong. Georgia, Texas, Florida all have many residents from other states. But, they remain blood red. The best we can do is continue to fight for these states, but realize that the MAGAts prefer the lies, corruption, and hate. The republican voters are no longer motivated by 'conservative economic principle', No. No. No.
Quite simply they prefer to 'own the libs' Every opportunity to make up a meme, spread fake news, insult good people is what they choose...over and over....and over.
I expect these states and other will be hellholes for women and people of color. The Christian-Nazi brigade will take over public schools, cut human services and threaten anyone who stands against them. I know my words are strong. I've seen this crap rolling at us since Ronnie Raygun. Russia is winning, democracy is failing. If you live in a solid Red State, get out. The Fascist Republicans hate democracy and civil rights. They actually do want to kill democrats. And they will. So get the heck out of these states. I don't see any good happening there over the next 25 years.
Yes, this is hard to say. But, don't wait until they make democrats wear yellow stars......it can happen here. Yes, it can. Wake Up. Flee to a democrat state now. Your family needs to be safe.
College Student Loans - A commentary
Comments about student-loan forgiveness:
I have worked in higher education for over 20 years. Students and parents are cautioned about debt. There are workshops, pamphlets, presentations.
Problem # 1
Some students and parents were SCAMMED by for-profit schools who 'bought' non-profit colleges and became non-profit. These colleges have NO entrance exam requirements, inferior instruction and highering managers do NOT value degrees obtained from these 'colleges'. The students flocked to the schools because they could 'get in and get out'. Yes. There were ads on TV. Yes, there is accreditation , but it is a low bar.
Problem # 2
About 1/3 of all college students drop-out before completing a degree. Top reason that I and my peers encountered are :
(A) the student didn't really want to go to college, but parents wanted them to go
(B) the student didn't know what they wanted to study
(C) the student didn't like the classes, the professors, the subjects, material was too hard, etc.
(D) the student admits that they are not ready for college and is immature, plays computer games all night, parties, sleeps-in, etc.
Problem #3
Private colleges and universities overcharge for tuition and fees. Students are admitted and attend because they are enamored with the beautiful environment, small campus, and the sales pitch. Often these students must use a combination of financial aid, grants and loans. These colleges give the students a small scholarship as a 'carrot'
Yearly tuition and fees of $40K yearly is common. Students graduate with $80-100 K in debt. There is no reason to occur this much debt if a student is NOT attending a top 20 university ....and hopefully majoring in a field that is in demand.
Problem #4
College education does not equal preparation for a career or is it job training, except for a few disciplines (nursing, pharmacy,engineering,computer science,accounting, etc. ) So, attending a private university and over-paying for a good liberal arts education is just that..... A very good experience and a sweatshirt from a prestigious university.
For most students, I advise:
1. Attend local community college if you are not academically inclined or you are unsure of your interests. Transfer to 4-year university once you have required credits.
2. Attend local state college/university and live at home if you are a B/C student.
3. Attend flagship state university if you have a strong academic background, are mature, self-motivated and can get yourself up in the morning, not loose your textbook or forget when your exams are scheduled.
4. Attend private university if conditions in #3 are met and you are majoring in a field that prepares you for a career that is in demand and pays well.
Of course there is exceptions.
I'll park my opinion now. I have a lot more I can say but enough for now.
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts
Sandy Hook Trial - Where is Justice
I need to say this and I know that is going to sound crazy.
It's been nearly 10 years since 20 six and seven year old children and their 6 teachers were murdered at the local elementary school.
Alex Jones has made a career spinning a wild conspiracy that it was 'fake', that the children were actors, the blood wasn't real, the kids never existed, no bodies were buried by grieving parents, etc.
He has moved money around different shell companies, declared bankruptcy and; to this day continues to scream bombastic lies every F'ing day on his radio program.
Ten years. Ten years that moms, dads, grandparents, siblings are subjected to insults and attacks that THEY are lying. They live in fear, they are threatened, there are cruel memes about them and their kids across the internet.
And the trial of Alex Jones is a civil trial. A defamation trial. The worst-case for him is that he will loose millions of dollars. But, we know that he can scam the Qanon crowd for the next 30 years and get all that money back and more.
He is evil. He is full of darkness. And he gets to live. NO.
I want him to endure every horrible, ghastly, cruel method of execution from the Medieval period.
And even if that is possible, it will never erase the terror that he is inflicted on those families.

Thanks for reading.
