The Last Presidential Entry From This Corner

The presidential polls seem pretty clear. This is going to be a rout. Plain and simple.

This is going to be a disaster for the Republican party that might even dwarf the Goldwater defeat. And the Republican party didn't really recover from that disaster until Ronald Reagan emerged.

What will become of the Republican party itself is unclear, but these facts seem clear:
-The Democrats outnumber the Republicans
-The Democrats have moved drastically to the left in the past 50 years, and have a more socialist bent than at any time in the past.
-The Democrats seem insistent on consolidating power at the federal executive level and removing local control whenever possible (schools, roads, police departments, you-name-it).
-The recent Democrat administrations have re-arranged priorities away from traditional American values.

I'm reasonably certain that every time the current administration opens a new investigation into a local police department, the ultimate goal is to disband locally controlled and selected police forces and replace them with a federal police force. After all, it seems to have worked so well with the schools, no? Remember that the Department of Justice has nothing to do with actual justice (like the Department of Education has nothing to do with actually educating children), and everything to do with administering rules and regulations promulgated by…..The Department Of Justice. These and other matters (like Second Amendment and gender identity issues) will bend further to the left with another Democrat in the White House.

It might be different in your life, but in mine, with the exception of some left leaning feminists, I don't actually know anyone who is for Hillary Clinton. What seems clear is that a large percentage of the population is fervently against Donald Trump. And that's what this election will determine—How much does the electorate disapprove of the very idea of Donald Trump.

I'm going to vote for Donald Trump. Here's why:
-Any Republican will do less damage to the remnants of the Republic than any Democrat.
-I have never voted for a Democrat for any national election—I have voted for Democrats for local non partisan offices (such as Sheriff or District Attorney) when the democrat was otherwise the better choice.
-I believe that if you don't vote then you've got no right to bitch, and brother, am I going to bitch.

Because of the Trump candidacy, the Republicans might just lose control of the House and Senate. Wouldn't THAT be grand!!

A final thought: Anybody who thought from the beginning that the Republican Party needed to nominate Donald Trump should really re-consider their thought processes. He was never capable of defeating even Bernie Sanders in a general election, much less a Clinton. He's a mobbed-up, loud-mouthed, draft-dodging plutocrat who should have stayed on reality TV. And that's from a guy who's going to vote FOR him.


As always—You’re Welcome

A Very Simple Request

In the late 1970s (that would be during the Carter administration and THAT gas crisis), I drove a Datsun 1200 for a while.   It was a good, small, simple car, and I could afford it even though I had virtually no money. As I recall, it had 12 or 13 inch wheels, no power anything, a four cylinder engine, and a four speed manual transmission.   It was light weight with no amenities.   None.   It had an AM only radio and a tinny little speaker.   No air conditioning either—can you imagine?   No AIR??   On the freeway, when larger cars would pass, the jet wash would buffet the car slightly after the larger car passed.   It was orange, and it routinely got 35 to 50 MPG.   40 to 50 on the freeway and 35 to 45 around town.   When the tires wore out, it was about as expensive as putting new tires on your bicycle.   If it needed brakes, it was about as expensive as putting brakes on your bicycle.   Did I just repeat myself? Here's w...

Karma

I see that the Marlin's Scott Cousins has been placed on the 15 day disabled list with a "lower back strain", and has been replaced on their active roster by Hanley Ramirez.  And that the Marlins are 3-18 since leaving San Francisco. Karma's a bitch.

For Love of the Game

  OK then. Baseball is finally over for my beloved Giants. Thank goodness. This leadership pair of Farhan Zaidi and Gabe Kapler has created a baseball team and method that’s just pitiful. It’s painful to watch. And boring. Tedious. A struggle. Never knowing from day to day who is going to be on the club as players or where they might be in the batting order or what positions they might play. No stars. The way Kapler handles pitchers makes it even worse. One result of the inconstancy in player positions is that the Giants lead all of baseball in errors committed in an era of lower error rates in baseball. I can’t be the only one who sees the problem and the source of said problem. It’s no puzzle why the Giants find it impossible to sign truly first rate talent. I’m a big fan of Mike Yastrzemski and Brandon Crawford, but, other than that…….Who would want to subject themselves to that nonsense, anyhow? It’s no wonder that the ballpark is habitually empty, or nearly so. ...
