 If we only had an Abacus with a slide counter, we’d put the following groups in: 1) Muslim-Americans; 2) African-Americans; 3) Latino & Hispanic Americans; 4) Women; 5) Overweight Americans; 6) Disabled Americans; 7) All other minority groups in America. These are all counters in the category entitled: “I’m never voting for Donald Trump” (No wonder some sectors of the GOP are in full panic mode at the thought of a Trump Nomination!)
 
 

 
·      The Climate Summit begins next week in Paris. The United States is making a concerted effort to lead the world in talks to negotiate lower CO2 emissions for all countries. One of the best indicators moving forward is the commitment by US automakers to lower the fuel emissions for all new cars and to produce some electric cars in the US market. 50 Countries which represent 85 % of all global carbon emissions have submitted pledges to the conference. All this leads us to hope that this time, something may be achieved.

Katy Bar the Door: The Fall of the House of Reagan

·           Can this Marriage be Saved? There seems to be a disturbance in the force with the Tea Party activists and the rare seldom sighted moderate Republicans all coming out of the woodwork to ask what happened.

All one can do is to grab popcorn and stay tuned for what The Donald will do or say next… ·          Can he be Stopped?
