My Blather On "The Donald" vs The Field

Donald Trump Versus The Field
    Recent polls have Donald Trump at 22% approval with Jeb Bush second at a distant 10.7%.  One of the guys I like~Dr Ben Carson~has risen to third with 9.7%.  The remainder of the list as surveyed 8/09 through 8/16:
Walker: 7.7%;
Rubio: 7.3%;
Cruz: 7.3%;
Fiorina: 6.3%;
Paul: 4.3%;
Kasich: 4.3%;
Huckabee: 4.3%;
Christie: 3.3%;
Perry: 1.3%;
Santorum: 1.0%;
Jindal: 0.3%;
Graham: 0.1%.
If these results were to stand, the next GOP debate (or rather press interview) would NOT include Christie through Graham.
    What most~if not all~have failed to realize in their fervent support of Donald Trump.  "The Donald" is highly unlikely to accept the republicRATic presidential nomination for one important reason...
"...the use of a “blind trust” is one of several methods of conflict of
interest avoidance under federal law and regulation. There are now uniform statutory requirements for the establishment and maintenance of blind trusts, and federal officials who are to use such devices, either voluntarily or as a remedial measure for identified conflicts of interest, must receive from their supervisory ethics office prior approval of the proposed trustee and the trust instrument to qualify the blind trust for ethics purposes."

 
    I can't envision Mr Trump placing all his 100~more or less~companies into the REQUIRED blind trust with which he'd have no control in their operations.  It would take immense trust in an individual or group to believe that he/she/they would take due care and caution to insure profitability for the upcoming four~or eight~years.
Were "The Donald" to actually use the "blind trust," I'd certainly support him as the nominee, considering the alternative: more and ever increasing socialism!!
That's all I got.

Is All This Arrogance Really Necessary?

Like Politics, All Arrogance Is Local     After reading Dr Walter E. Williams ' column titled " Blacks and obama ," it brought to mind a recent incident in downtown Rochester, N.Y., although the two aren't really related.  Seems three negro miscreants out of the entire high school basketball team decided to make asses of themselves while waiting for a city bus.   The city police arrived, acting on a citizen's complaint~~ that the thugs were not only blocking the entrance to a store ~~that they were preventing passersby from advancing through the kerfuffle.       What " News 8 Now " is conveniently leaving out of this story~~ as they normally do ~~is the real meat of the situation.  That the arriving patrolman requested a seargant to assess the situation, that the seargeant requested a lieutenant to assess the situation.  The patrolman~~ and maybe the other two ~~was subjected to at least one " fuck-you " and quite possibly more.  All three

  Biden's Jis Plain Stoopid     We all remember "Mayor pete," right? I sure as hell do, he impressed me as a lil' twurp with nota helluva lot to say of import.  Now "the big guy" is proving himself dumb enough to appoint lil' petie to the head of the Department of Transportation.     That will put petie incharge of all things airplane, all things trucks, all things highways; all things ocean-going; amongst many, many other things.  Yrs ago, I was a truck driver-in fact I even owned my own tractor [the 'truck' part]-so I kinda know abit from which I speak.     Someone of the LOI crowd is likely to ask lil' petie..... "What's the biggest problem facing the truck driver today?" He's likely to say something to the affect; "The trucks are too fast; or, the trucks are too heavy; or the trucks are always in the way......"  Not so!!  The greatest problem-nationwide-is TRUCK PARKING!!  I left over-the-road freight relocati

This 'n' That, May 10th

       More Democrat Bullshit :   More proof that Dr Fauci  [er Falsley] enjoyes his political power and being the highest paid official in the federal government... we're likely supposed to keep our masks on in perpetuity!  Texas and Florida have been mask-free for months and Covid infections have been dropping like-a-brick in those two states as well as other states, other areas.      Gas Shortages, Border Surge, Inflation.   This is what one gets when electing a bureaucrat to replace a proven businessman!  One may not have approved PRESIDENT Trump 's decisions, actions, but one should realize that said actions had the country's best interest at heart!!  Nearly every vote cast by SENATOR biden was on the wrong side of history.  Said senator couldn't win a nationwide election by himself so the "fix-was-in."  This is evident with biden leaving his basment once or twice a week to visit his home town or one of the neighboring states/cities.  This while PRESIDE
