We're now run under totalitarian rules
"The Governor Of Minnesota Tells Current Residents To Leave State If They Don't Accommodate Huge Influx Of Muslim Migrants" - US Chronicle
What bothers me is not that his objective is of humanitarian impact, even then, they're simply migrants not refugees, but being an official, he's acting way out of our democratic system.
Have we completely lost our sense if democratic principles?
Are we now ruled without regard to our rights? Are we not supposed to put this in the ballot?
Shame on you Dayton.

The Donald now ties the severely ill witch in resp
and is clearly ascendant. Things that should be quaking in their boots. Half a dozen costly, useless and anti business cabinet level departments. PETA, anti gun, pro fetal clinical murder, homely man hating female--- extremists. Public TV and Radio. Any others?
Tonight....
is the night for President to be Trump to wipe the stage floor with serial woman abuser, disbarred attorney, impeached president Bill Clinton wife. If he does, she'll never recover. Stay tuned. Aa.
Not all bad..are they

DUTERTE, cozying up with Russia
Strategically located in a very volatile area, the Philippines' position on both geographic and political direction is of global importance.
Since 1898 after the Spanish American war was over, the Philippines was freed from the Spaniards ending over 300 years of abusive and slavery rule. It gave rise to the Westernization of the country and followed by the installation of American control. Considering the location alone, the US interest of the area almost led to the inclusion of the Union only to be thwarted by the Filipino elites thinking it would make us just as slave as when we were under the Spaniards.
While the independence of the country was a prized achievement in 1945, the US continued to run their military operations on a lease contract which ended sometime in the 80s. The following years, there proved no sign of any political conflict amongst the super powers of the world which include but not limited to Russia, China, US and Europe. Good riddance for the US as it cost us about a billion dollar of rent expense which was a loss to the Philippines.
Recently however, because of the growing aggression of China in building its military powers in disputed island north of the Philippines, coupled by the increasing presence of ISIS training in the south it is most likely that US actually do need the Philippines or for political and military balance, the world do need it.
What is very radically disturbing at the moment is Duterte leaning on forging an unusual relationship with Russia leaving US and Philippines' relationship a very questionable and undoubtedly shaken. A very unexpected political alliance is being forged.
Recently Duterte insulted Obama and I personally feel perhaps he truly knows what is better for the future of the country. Obama being so pro islam and the ISIS making the south as training ground of terror, perhaps he feels he will not get a good support from a US president that stands opposite his objectives.

Did you watch the 2016 Vice Presidential Debates?
Many (50 million) watched the vice presidential debate last night? Well, of sort of debate! I say "sort of debate", because I felt Governor Mike Pence was at a disadvantage trying to defend Trump and his plans and why Trump should be President. Pence spent too much time when asked a question, telling short heart felt story lead-ins to make his points, but never really answered any questions directly. It was difficult for Pence, because Trump has no real plans and it was obvious to me, Trump hasn't discussed any concrete plans with Pence other than what we hear at his rallies, same stump foolishness.
Pence couldn't rightly defend Trump on any such outlined policy proposals regarding immigration, the threat of terrorism, Pence never answered as to what he or Trump would do about home grown terrorist, how Trump plan to go about protecting civilians in Syria, plans for safe and no fly zone set ups, Pence did hesitatingly explained faith and public policy positions.
I think Kaine did a much better job of answering and explaining these Clinton interests and issues than Pence. I realize some republicans and republican media outlets are saying Pence outclassed Kaine, but no one is talking about Pence's substance in information sharing on Trump's policies and concerns of the American voters... this, I would think, is more important to voters than who looked good and who won the debate based on one's appearance and jab responses.
Tim Kaine on the other hand, spent too much time interrupting Pence... Kaine had me screaming at the television telling him to "shut Up and let Pence speak". Kaine was driving me crazy, he was overly zealous in his efforts to defend and point out Clinton's plans and proposals, and to denounce Trump. Although Kaine had much more substances and information than Pence, and Kaine knew Clinton's plans and perspective proposals, which Pence didn't have a clue outside of Trump's already talking points of "fixing" and what "needs to be done", Pence said everything but never explaining how Trump would go about implementing such proposals and plans.
All in all, I felt both Vice Presidential candidates did well, considering Kaine had more insightful information into Clinton's plans. Pence was finding it difficult explaining Trump's so-called plans, and Trump can't explain his own plans, so how can a person explain something he/she knows nothing about, except Trump's cheap talk.
Pence without outright lying, could only defend Trump "at afar", and as a Christian, Pence tried the best he could to defend Trump as not having said "this or that" without having to lie for Trump or prove he believes Trump's lies. I like both Kaine and Pence and really think America and the world saw a glimpse of two candidates who outshines their running mates who are seeking the Presidential office. Kaine and Pence should be the ones running for President.
From where I sat, Pence won the debate on his style, grace, and calmness. Kaine won the debate on his assertiveness and knowledge in the matters of Clinton's presidential planed policy proposals for America if she is elected. Kaine had substance and Pence didn't have a clue, but spoke what he THOUGHT were Trump's plans in brief, never really answering direct questions to defend any plans or proposals of Trump, Pence only tried to defend Trump as a person not his non-existing policies.
Maybe the Republicans and Democrats and voters should take another look and who knows, in the end Kaine just might end up being the last minute 2016 Presidential candidate for the Democratic party, and Mike Pence for the last minute 2016 presidential candidate for the Republican party.
Based on substance and information Tim Kaine won the debate, based grace and class Pence won the debate... which one is most important to you as a voter seeking a Presidential leader of America? Class or Substance?

I think Trump just got BUSTED!??
"Trump caught on tape making crude, s*xually aggressive comments about women"
'I don’t even wait,' he said — and bragged about how he would 'grab them by the p---y.'
By SHANE GOLDMACHER, ANNIE KARNI and NOLAN D. MCCASKILL 10/07/16 08:18 PM EDT Updated 10/07/16 09:45 PM EDT
Donald Trump bragged about groping, kissing and attempting to have sex with married women — and said he was entitled to do so because he’s a “star” — in a private tape published on Friday that threatens to envelop, if not sink, his candidacy just days before his second presidential debate with Hillary Clinton.
“I don’t even wait,” he boasts, as he talks about groping at women’s genitals.
“And when you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says to Billy Bush of “Access Hollywood” in a clip from 2005 that was first published by the Washington Post late on Friday. “You can do anything.”
“Whatever you want,” an off-camera voice that appears to be Bush replies.
“Grab them by the pu**y,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”

For it is written: "For YOUR SINS/WRONG DOINGS will SURELY find you out." This is why its so very important that Trump and everyone check their OWN sins/wrong doings BEFORE he/they try to judge and condemn others about their sins/wrong doings. Trump didn't sweep around his OWN front door BEFORE he tried to sweep around Bill Clinton's back door bringing up all Bill's 25 year old past sins and wrong doings of adultery. Bill has repented of his sins before God, but Trump say he has no need to repent or apologize for nothing he says or has done to others or to God.
Now, Trump and his surrogates are trying to do damage control by saying this happened 11 years ago... well Bill's transgressions happened over 20-25 years ago, but Trump still felt a need to bring up all this mess about Bill's adultery to try and win. Fair is fair if Trump can play the game so can others, but we know that's not how Trump works.
People like using the phrase JUDGE NOT" but they tend to forget the rest of this Scripture passages that says, the reason WHY you shouldn't judge or condemn others, if you TOO have past sins and wrong doings and especially, if you have not repented of them.
WRONGFULLY Judging Others Matthew chapter 7: “Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the same judgment you make on others you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye?"
Romans chapter 2:"Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things. You say,“We know that God’s judgment on those who do such things is in accordance with truth.” Do you think, whoever you are, that when you judge those who do such things and yet you do them yourself, you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not realize that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But by your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. For he will repay according to each one’s deeds: to those who by patiently doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; while for those who are self-seeking and who obey not the truth but wickedness, there will be wrath and fury. There will be anguish and distress for everyone who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. For God shows no partiality."

Trump, should we be afraid
Donald is an astute hardened businessman. Boardroom bully and accomplished at tax avoidence. His business abilities cannot be disputed. Nor can his racism or his demeaming attitude towards women. Politics is a science and Diplomacy an art. Are his skills and faults transferable to American Presidency. Can a President deal with everything by making you an "offer you cant refuse". Would that resolve or cause conflicts. Im afraid. What do you think.
