For some reason after reading what you wrote about ALL, I immediately thought of Kim Jong-un, a grownup little boy with enormous power and exploding toys. Now he's reminds me of Caligula. who had toys that did not go boom. May Kim come to the same end.
I'm starting to think the ALL the problems in the world are caused by hormones, the ultimate drug to twist a mind into irrationality and stupidity......
Interesting family. My loyalty to USC is only because, as a senior in high school, I got a telegram (real one) from John McKay hoping I would choose USC to play football. No scholarship offer. That came from Baylor, 4-years, no cut, flew me down to Waco, went coon hunting (me, a surfer from Redondo Beach!) but turned it down because I was " in love." (first mistake because of hormones and a woman).
Roll Tide! LOL! I have an Alabama fan brother who went to USC. Then he got a job there "running the store" in his own words. From there he retired and now lives in Delaware with an old girlfriend. He's the only lib of my four brothers.
That mystery sponsor ad I mentioned made statements I researched. IMO, statements Moore made were deliberately taken out of context. He is even in favor of a 30-round magazine like the 9mm carbine I have in a closet. Moore is for the wall on the Mexican border. His statements that the military needed to be there now and we couldn't have a wall around the country were twisted around to "prove" Moore didn't want a wall at all. For a week I've been swaying from one candidate to the other but I think you can tell who I'm having a growing trust issue with.
Good luck on your decision. I recently heard that Trump supported Strange because of Strange's support before the election and Trump said he may have made a mistake in supporting Strange.
The endorsement of ‘Big Luther’ could prove to be a big boost for the interim Alabama senator, who is trailing his opponent, former state judge Roy Moore, in some public polls. But even Trump seemed unsure that the endorsement was the right move.
“I’ll be honest, I might have made a mistake,” Trump told the crowd at one point during his nearly 90 minutes of remarks.
Neither can I. Please consider the Convention of States Project. Encourage (or something better) your state legislators to petition the national legislative branch for a Convention of States. This does not depend on congressional action in any way.
The only thing this Alabama dino is currently indecisive about is voting for Luther Strange or Roy Moore tomorrow. Trump and the NRA has endorsed Strange. But I keep thinking about an irksome anonymous anti-Moore commercial that supposedly has nothing to do with Strange. Yeah, right. And I'm Peter Pan.
State Senators or US Senators? Every States defines its own assembly and government. Some have the standard bicameral legislatures, but a few don't.
US Senators were originally elected by their respective State Assemblies. Governors only became involved in the event of the departure of a sitting Senator between election years. The 18th Amendment changed that and made Senators popularly elected. The main instigator was a Senator from Montana who bribed the legislators in Helena to keep putting him in as Senator. He was a mining magnate and one of the richest men in the nation at that point in time.
This is one of the Amendments I would rescind if at all possible. The result has been the gradual diminishing of State influence in National policy-making.
I've come to conclude that "frustration" is another word for "indecision." Frustration can be cured by making a decision. I've made mine and, honestly, a lot of frustration has dissipated and I feel more free than I have in years.
I am not disparaging those that have hopes and dreams and thoughts about what could/should/can be done and I wish them the best and thank them for their efforts and concerns
I also think that the States individually should be responsible for supporting their elected Congressional representatives - and Staffs. Make them beholden to the States they supposedly represent for fraud investigations, etc.
Dream on. I'm 74 and I have a bumper sticker that says, "Don't blame me, I voted for Goldwater." Since then, it has been down hill, the collectivists/globalists are winning and only total chaos will result. Trump is simply a speed bump in the fall of the USA, the "swamp" is too big, too deep and will win.
I'm fairly sure as well. Its the only logical and Constitutional way I can see the states having as much control as possible within the Fedgov to keep it in check. I think the film 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' was an example of that type of setup.

Strange has said Moore would have a harder time against the Democrat candidate.
In red state Alabama? Hogwash!

The vicissitudes of the events of these days cause me to choose between depression and cynicism. I choose the most entertaining......
