XLIII. Public Apology to Women of the World from The American Republic (Hypatia of Alexandria)
Before we begin our campaign, we would like for all women of this planet to please find it in their hearts to forgive the pain, death and disrespect that we men have caused you for so many thousands of years.
Our arrogance and ignorance has regrettably fostered this gender separation generation after generation.
Women are the greatest treasure the earth has given us, yet many still refuse (...)

YES, THERE WILL BE ELECTION FRAUD, AND ON A GRAND SCALE America’s election system is designed only to give the theater of democracy with none of the substance
John Chuckman
It is a virtual certainty that the American establishment will resort to election fraud to help Hillary Clinton. They simply do not know what to do about Donald Trump. America’s election system was not designed to handle a phenomenon like him, a non-politician, a man with some genuinely fresh anti-establishment (...)

Hillary Clinton will be first female President 2017
If any other qualified Republican candidate had run against Hillary Clinton, she would have loss. Trump is the Trump card for Hillary to become the first female President of the USA. Nothing more. Once the sparkle is gone like with Obama being the first negro president, it will be business as usual.
Both parties need to find qualified sincere candidates for the election in 2020. Americans are suffering because of our loose system of (...)

From amongst themselves, the People of the United States have empowered some of their members to enforce their laws and to police their society, but things have gone terribly awry. The police are killing those they are sworn to protect and they themselves are becoming the target of public anger over racial inequality and discrimination. Video images of recent police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota were followed by the mass murder of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, (...)

AMERICA DESERVES BETTER, BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE WORLD DESERVES BETTER
John Chuckman
The one verity going into the first presidential debate, not widely recognized, was that it did not matter how Clinton managed and what she said, although a collapse on the stage clearly would have been a decisive-enough matter.
Her comportment or responses did not matter precisely because she has a record, a long and detailed political record which absolutely tells us the kind of leader she (...)

Last week end, the brand new public news channel FranceInfo hosted the head of small time party Debout La France (lit. France Arise)on their morning show. Discussing with a columnist he wanted to get rid of during the 2012 presidential campaign, the far right candidate invited the audience to his political year kick-off event in Aubervilliers with pro-Russia intellectual Jacques Sapir and billionaire Charles Beigbeder…
Debout La France is a sovereigntist and anti-migrants, in other words (...)

From its creation, the citizens of the United States have had a special relationship with the person they choose to lead their republic. Given extraordinary powers by the Constitution, the President is expected to not only be a wise and effective administrator, but to possess the moral compass established by George Washington, the Nation’s first president.
In his book about President John F. Kennedy, A Question of Character, Professor Thomas C. Reeves draws a distinction between (...)

WHY HILLARY IS THE PERFECT PERSON TO SECURE OBAMA’S LEGACY
John Chuckman
I read a piece that said Hillary, with her speech about racism and extremists taking over the Republican Party, was making a play for a one-party state. That seems rather an exaggeration, but it does contain an important bit of truth. I do indeed believe Hillary thinks along the lines of a one-party state as suggested, but without ever saying so directly, and she is not focused on the particular political party (...)

Remake of Ben Hur in 2020 planned by new motion picture studio
A new motion picture studio, name not disclosed, has decided to take on the task of remaking for the 6th time the film Ben Hur straight from the book published in 1880 by its writer Lew Wallace. The budget for this film is rumored to be over $300 million US dollars. The runtime is not yet known, but most likely will exceed over 3 hours. There is a wealth of information in the book to keep a script writer busy for a while. (...)

THE CASE FOR DONALD TRUMP
John Chuckman
Anyone who knows my writing and background knows I am not a conservative and certainly have little use for the right wing anywhere.
But they will also know that I despise war and that I believe America’s establishment has brought moral degradation to the country’s international affairs. It has also brought degradation to America’s own people, completely ignoring their welfare for decades, regarding them only as a herd from which to solicit (...)
