Well, the mid-term elections are over and the voters have spoken. The message sent by the majority of these typical Americans who went out and voted was that they are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. Implicit in this message is that they don’t like Black leaders, Hispanic aliens, Gays, Feminists, or Environmentalists. They’re against same-sex marriage, a woman’s right to choose, separation of church and state, health care for all, raising the minimum wage and lowering the interest rate on college loans. These Fox News junkies reject gun controls, support murderous cops, and approve of a macho military. They’ll tolerate low taxes for the rich but hate hand-outs for the poor. They want more religion in schools, and less government in their lives. So, these white citizens exerted their entitlement and voted Republican. When it came to standing up to bullies, the castrated Democrats didn’t set an example for their ranks and they got their asses kicked. Black America is left bereft. Liberalism is on the ropes. Since they couldn’t vote by texting, young people didn’t show a lot of interest in the election and exerted no impact on the things that will affect their future. It's hard to tell if they care. Most troubling of all, is that the President of the United States has become a pariah. God bless America? Puleeze.

LOL! "Abuse"? <big smile> I'm just glad folks can have their weed without going to jail for it. Now, if we criminalize sugar and sugary products , we'd be better in the long run! :

Although it did get her message out, Charlo Greene's on-air resignation seems more to me than alarming and sensational but rather it was about integrity. Yes, “integrity’s 2nd meaning -" to remain whole and undivided". Maybe Greene could no longer publicly report on the opposition to "legalization of marijuana" while simultaneously presiding over Alaska Cannabis Club. No telling how many times that story came up and she found herself fronting it. Now, Troy, I do understand your position; why couldn't she quit in private. I'm a firm believer, however, that if you are proponent of cause why not use all of your resources to draw attention to it. Use whatever to be heard especially, when viral content is making ordinary people into minor celebrities. ​In hindsight, it worked. Not only did Charlo Greene raise more than $8,000 for her cause using Indiegogo, the crowdfunding platform; Alaskans voted 52-48 yesterday to legalize marijuana. So maybe we will only be in “deep doo-doo” if we continue to believe someone will recognize our deeds as long as we continue to do good work. Nope. Well, not as long as we are living in the age of "turn down for what”.
