    The TPP treaty is essential for national security says the corporate stenographer at the Bezos Post in Washington. Hillary and the other wonderful experts know this, but they’ve been bullied by the ignorant opponents.

    *** Certainly, Hillary Clinton understands this, which is why she vigorously spoke out in favor of TPP so many times. I suspect that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who understands both market economics and the threat from China’s expanding influence, gets it as well. However, both of them have been buffaloed into opposing TPP to compete with their economically ignorant opponents. ***

    It’s really amazing the sort of clout the dullards have around election time – they can turn genuine American heroes into tubs of mush.

    But it’s all right – Hillary and Ted will revert to normal right after the election time-out is over.

    So who cares if the TPP will guarantee the triumph of Global Warming? The rich people can move to the Moon. Or Mars. Paraphrasing Leona Helmsley, only the Little People will stay to the bitter end on the Solar System’s new hellhole.

    Headline:

    *** Indiana Declines to Appeal Purvi Patel’s Overturned Feticide Conviction ***

    One wonders if this has ANY connection to our ******* governor wanting this story to go away. To pretend his ridiculous crusade against women in Indiana never really happened.

    Trump is 70 years old, and his health is a total unknown. The man is also as lazy as all get-out, and Pence would very likely be either the actual or same-as-actual President. of the US should horrible Hillary falter in the quest for the gold crown.

    What a mess.
