WHY CLINTON IS WINNING AND TRUMP IS LOSING

Hi Humans,

Trump and his surrogates continue to harp on Clinton’s emails and Ben Ghazi, without any proof of guilt. They do it because they don’t have anything substantive to say. Put aside the Trump University scam, Trump’s bribing of the Florida Attorney General, the Trump Modeling Agency scam, the many bankruptcies leaving others holding the bag, stiffing contractors, belching out bigotry to appeal to his base, and favoring tyrants. Clinton is seasoned, knowledgeable, focused, honest, and prepared. Trump is scattered, unprepared, egotistical, and unpredictable. Clinton is favored by minorities because she has worked with them for decades. Clinton is favored by solid corporate America because she promotes a well regulated orderly market place with concern that all strata of the community share in its benefits. Trump and the tea party favor deregulation for the quick buck artists who collapsed America’s economy 7 ½ years ago (until President Obama came in and saved capitalism). No wonder Trump is behind. As Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” That’s why Trump is behind.

TRUMP LIES AND INSULTS

Hi Humans,

Trump can tell any lie or insult anyone who displeases him because of their race, religion, or ethnicity, and he is just “Trump being Trump”. But when Hillary Clinton says half of Trump’s supporters are “deplorable,” Trump’s surrogates jump all over her. Well, the number might not be mathematically exact, but otherwise it is THE TRUTH. Trump started his campaign by appealing to bigots, and Stephen Bannon of the white supremacist Alt Right movement now runs his campaign. And there is no double standard against Hillary?

GOOD AND BAD IN ISRAEL/PALESTINE

Hi Humans,

As a politically slightly left of center, religiously non-fundamentalist, American Jewish Zionist little dog, I am concerned about the extremism pulling apart human Jews in Israel, America, and the rest of the world as well as all the other humans in Israel/Palestine, America, and the rest of the world. Leaving out us dogs and other conscious creatures (as usual), the Left claims to speak for the welfare of all humans, but the extreme left is unfortunately selective as to which humans’ welfare counts. For example, “black lives matter” is a noble cause, but the organization that calls itself Black Lives Matter has recently digressed from their primary cause of ‘black lives matter” by bashing Israel in its charter. I also have issues with the present rightist government in Israel and with the settler movement, but to single out Israel and ignore the much more serious issues in its surrounding neighborhood is wrong. And don’t say anti-Zionism is not anti-semitism. After all who lives in Israel? It’s inhabitants are not non-specific aliens from outer space.

On the other hand, I find it increasingly difficult to defend policies of the government of Israel that support the settlers in taking land away from the Palestinians. The Arabs in the territories crave and deserve hope for self-government, and they deserve dignity. Unfortunately, there is a growing minority of human Jews in Israel who believe that God is a real estate agent who wants them to own all of the Land of Israel/Land of Palestine. That point of view is wrong, untenable, harmful to the Jewish people both in Israel and the Diaspora, and promotes the worst on the Palestinian side, just as BDS goes against the best and promotes the worst in Israel.

On the other hand there are many Arabs (maybe most) and their friends who never accepted the legitimacy of the State of Israel and view the Jews as interlopers. Therefore to them, killing Jews is just and Jews retaliating in self-defense is unjust.

The light at the end of the tunnel is that a just accommodation between both people (not just governments) would benefit both sides. Jews and Arabs both exist and will not go away. They actually have common interests. The Palestinians, if they are willing, can offer the real peace to Israel that was the original purpose of Zionism. Israel can offer to the Palestinians education, prosperity, and a window to globalism. To some extent that is already happening.

The good in Israel outshines the bad, but the bad muddies one’s ability to extol the good.

NEGATIVE CHARGES AGAINST BOTH CANDIDATES

Hi Humans,

 

Let’s look at the negative charges in the election.

Hillary Clinton:

1.    Clinton Foundation criticized for accepting contributions while she was in public office; provides health care to disadvantaged humans in Africa and other undeveloped areas of the world

2.    Email irregularities; done for convenience in a busy schedule. Hillary has acknowledged the error. The FBI has shown no reason for legal action.

3.    Ben Ghazi: Hillary acted correctly, sustained a grilling by a Republican witch hunt commission which could not demonstrate any wrong doing.

            Donald Trump:

1.    Trump University: a scam to extract money from vulnerable humans, still in court, Trump falsely accused the judge of being partial because he has a Spanish surname.

2.    Habit of bankrupting businesses, leaving others holding the bag.

3.    Stiffing small businesses he hired, often causing them to go out of business.

4.    Sending work out of the country to get cheap labor.

5.    His model agency imported undocumented models from out of the country, instructed them on how to avoid detection, and took advantage of them by charging them exorbitant rent and keeping them indentured.

6.    He bribed the attorney general of Florida to get her to drop the charges against Trump University in Florida.

7.    He won’t release his income tax returns probably because he is hiding something.

            So, all in all, the charges against Trump involved personal monetary gain and 

             against Clinton did not involve monetary personal gain. So tell me humans with  

             your big brains which is worse?

TRUMP UPSIDE DOWN

Dear Human Mr. Kaepernick,

I have to disagree with you. You have the right to say or not say whatever you want in the USA. I don't dislike you for what you did. It's your right just as it is my right to not validate you (not that you need or want a validation from a little dog like me). No nation is perfect, but all in all the USA is a pretty good place for humans to live in, better than most. I am opposed to Trump and his Trumpers because they are bigots and because they put down the real America as it is today under the presidency of Barack Obama (whom I consider the greatest president of our time and perhaps of all time). I assume, Mr. Kaepernick, you have good intentions, but I also see you as a Trump upside down.

TRUMP IN DETROIT

Hi Humans,

Trump has many faces and many voices. Now we see Trump at an African American church in Detroit. Interestingly, he speaks with great gusto and conviction blasting minorities when he belches out to his faithful (White and bigoted) humans. But he speaks quietly, politely, robotically, uncomfortably when he reads from his prepared speech in the African American church. This little dog can see through Trump’s duplicity. I hope enough of you humans with your big brains can do the same.

THE WALL, ETC.

Hi Humans,
The photo-op showed Trump meeting with the President of Mexico, but the outcome seems to indicate they were at different meetings. Trump said they didn't discuss who would pay for "the wall," but the President of Mexico said he insisted Mexico would not pay for it (why would you expect Mexico to do something so dumb?). However the Mexican President did bring up the problem of American guns being smuggled into Mexico to the drug cartels. Of course that is something Trump omitted from his version of the meeting. After all that wouldn't set well with his base who are gun anarchists besides being bigots. You can't say one thing to your crazies and something else to the rest of America. I think there are enough rational humans in America to see through Trump and vote for Hillary Clinton, the rational, consistent, and knowledgeable candidate for President of the United States.
