Dear Friends,
The American people have spoken, and we've hired a divisive and inexperienced outsider for the world's most important job.
I blew the call. No excuses.
Our sage electorate has shown the world that America has dumbed itself down to the point where our country can no longer claim to be its beacon of hope and freedom with a straight face.
It's now quite clear that our broken politics fly in the face of reason and logic.
This is my last post.
I'd rather spend my remaining years on earth in a state of blissful ignorance than to pay any more attention--or give any more of my precious time--to the cesspool that American politics has become.
If we've set ourselves on a path to our own destruction, so be it. Our behavior deserves the consequences.
One small bright spot is Nevada...the state I love. All the candidates and initiatives that I supported were victorious here.
Otherwise, our national politics are in a state of shambles.
So, in closing, Friends, I'd like to say goodbye to you quoting Edward R. Murrow--perhaps early TV's most famous journalist.
Dearest Friends, goodbye and good luck.

It's Over Tomorrow
Dear Friends,
I've been writing this blog virtually every day since January 13th. If you're a regular reader, you know I jumped into online punditry making two major predictions.
The first was that Donald Trump would win the Republican nomination. The second was that Hillary Clinton's email problems would dog her throughout the election.
Right and right.
You'll hear that no pundit correctly predicted Trump's nomination. My readers know that's not true.
I will not be posting again until Wednesday morning.
Tomorrow, I'll be working for 12 hours at Las Vegas election precinct 1037, at Dorothy Eisenberg Middle School, beginning at 6 a.m.
When I walk through my front door tomorrow evening, the national election results will already be known.
Hillary Clinton will have won by at least 11 million votes and will easily have the 270 Electoral College votes she needs to be President.
A lot of today's hand wringing over what will happen tomorrow is hype. It behooves the media to keep it interesting. But you and I both know the actual numbers.
Unless the majority of women all of a sudden have a massive change of heart, they alone will defeat Donald Trump. Women represent 55 percent of all voters, and at least 55 percent of them favor Hillary Clinton. That math is simple.
A more detailed analysis, which takes account of minority voters, indicates a monumental drubbing for The Donald.
If the world doesn't go topsy turvy and a massive army of white voters doesn't turn out everywhere, Trump is going down 'big time'.
Early voting indicates it won't happen. Democrats outnumbered Republicans virtually everywhere, and reports have up to 25 percent of Republicans casting protest votes for Hillary.
The so-called huge latent white majority favoring Trump has not materialized, probably because it doesn't exist.
Many overly excited Trump rally attendees won't even go to the polls if they've never been before. It's too intimidating and takes effort.
And Trump has virtually no ground game to get his supporters there. Hillary's is renowned and massive.
He would have fired himself on his own reality show for his failure to put a ground game together.
But most of all, a majority of Americans won't ever vote for a candidate who refuses to release his tax returns or his complete health records. The electorate, by and large, still demands these two things from their president.
Not to mention that President Obama has emerged as one of our most popular leaders in modern history, and our country's economy has been on an incredible six-year-long growth streak. Without a doubt, this helps Hillary.
So, Friends, have a good day today.
Tomorrow night, the majority of us will take comfort in knowing that the next four years will keep us on the same steady course as the previous eight.
Congratulations, Madam President!

The Height of Douchebagerry
Two days 'til the moment of truth, Friends,
A Republican for Hillary Clinton tried to hoist a sign proclaiming he was part of the GOP against Trump but was tackled by a small mob of people around him. He a was 10 feet from where the party nominee addressed the highly-charged partisan crowd.
Donald Trump was swept from the stage by Secret Service agents when a voice in the mob yelled that the besieged Hillary supporter had a gun. He didn't.
The lone protester was rushed by more than a dozen plainclothes agents and uniformed police, was handcuffed and carted off--all for trying to express his thoughts at a Donald Trump rally in Reno last night.
He was quickly released without any charges.
Perhaps the incident was an honest mistake. Probably not. And nothing happened to the people who committed the actual assault.
But this morning, Trump aides are still tweeting how valiant Donald Trump was for the way he handled last night's "assassination attempt," while Hillary hung out with Beyonce and JayZ. This is the height of douchebaggery.
The Trump campaign runs on it.
Take the candidate's own continued use of the discredited Brett Baier report that Hillary Clinton will imminently be indicted. Trump knows this is untrue. Even Baier himself publicly backed off the claim. But Trump keeps using it.
What does this behavior make him? One clue. It's a French word.
It's getting to the point that Trump has become so loathsome a character that calling him a douchebag is an insult to douchebags. At least they're useful.
He's actually less than useful. He's brought out an awful dimension of this country that many people believed had disappeared. He's polarized us and pitted us against one another. He seems to relish driving the national psyche crazy.
I don't like Hillary Clinton, and I'll be the first to oppose her in four years should a viable candidate be put up against her.
I predict, however, that not only will she win on Tuesday, but she'll win by at least 11 million votes.
Most people still know that douchebags belong out of sight.

Trump Could Star in Arrested Development
Four days left, Friends,
There's a saying about teenagers: "When their mouths are moving, they're lying." Funny how this seems to apply to someone who's running for President.
Donald Trump is not a 70-year-old man. He's a 13-year-old boy. That's where his emotional development was arrested.
How can I say this?
Because I'm not unconscious. All you have to do is look.
He told the New York Times he's always loved to fight--including physically--and even at 70, he still talks like a tough kid.
Here's a man who may have an extensive vocabulary but prefers to speak at a seventh grade level--using words like "biggly" and phrases like, "I'd like to beat the shit out of him," or I'd "bomb the hell out of them."
He's a classic schoolyard bully, nasty-name caller and body shamer.
Whenever he's challenged, he simply uses the childish defense of turning the criticism back at the critic. Remember, his response to Hillary Clinton accusing him of bromancing Vladimir Putin in the final debate: "No puppet, you're the puppet"?
The art of projection is Trump's M.O. I saw one of his new negative TV ads this morning that's an excellent example of this. It concludes with, "Hillary Clinton, concerned only about money, power, and herself.
Now, you can say a lot of things about Hillary Clinton, but those three traits would be pretty low on the list. As a matter of fact, change the 'her' in herself to 'him', and it sounds just like you-know-who.
At least Hillary has spent her entire career trying to help other people, especially children, which Trump never has. And the Clinton fortune is thanks to Bill's manipulations, not hers. Hillary was too busy as a U.S. Senator getting good reviews, and then as a moderately competent Secretary of State.
Trump was otherwise occupied mock-firing people on TV.
This man has never really grown up. At age 59, he was engaged in "locker room talk" that your average 13-year-old boy might think was cool. But seriously, what grown man talks about "grabbing a pussy"?
It's something that never occurred to me. Why would you grab a woman's genitals? Only little boys talk nonsense like that.
Trump was a bad kid. His brother, Fred, Jr.--who died young from alcoholism--was the favored son and original heir to the Trump fortune. Prodigal son Donald was sent off to military school to get some discipline.
I taught at a lockdown boarding school for troubled teenagers like Donald Trump, and discipline was not the only thing they needed. Most required serious counseling for personality disorders.
I'd double down that The Donald never got any. And that would mean he still suffers the pathology of a disturbed teenager.
That's just what we need to fix our country.

Kellyanne Conway Makes Me Sick
Dear Friends,
With only five days to go before the election--and the polls all over the boards--I wanted to take a little time to vent.
Kellyanne Conway is the most sickening woman on the planet. I'd like to see her get a pie in the face when she's least expecting it.
Here is a woman who will truly say anything if you pay her enough money. She's a verbal prostitute.
Just in case you don't know who she is--and at this point you'd have to be living under a rock not to--she's Donald Trump's third campaign manager, and she came right from the staff of Trump's chief GOP Primary rival "Lyin'" Ted Cruz.
That means, until Conway was on the Trump payroll, she painted The Donald as the worst demon to ever walk the planet. But the instant she signed onto the Trump campaign, he became the best thing since sliced bread and an archangel.
Conway has been part of the right wing establishment for some 20 plus years and used to be one of political satirist Bill Maher's 'blonde conservatives" on the late night ABC show "Politically Incorrect."
She was one of a gaggle ultra-conservative blonde-haired, blue-eyed, fake-smiled. trash talking media hookers who were well paid to be anti anything 'Democrat'.
A non-practicing attorney from New Jersey, Conway built her reputation as a skilled GOP pollster, when she still had some dignity left. She lost the last shred of it when she went to work for Donald Trump.
Her all-American, Suzy Creamcheese facade belies her solid black heart.
While Trump likes to call Hillary "the Devil," Kellyanne Conway eats the actual Devil for breakfast.
If there is a special Hell for people who'd say anything for money--no matter how knowingly harmful it could be to the world's very existence--she's got a standing reservation.
Conway has spun just about every despicable, hurtful, ignorant, racist, and misogynistic statement her boss has made into happy talk, convincing us always that we heard what he said the wrong way.
I'd like nothing better than to never see this waste of human flesh again after November 8th. Unfortunately, prostitution is the world's oldest profession, and it ain't going away anytime soon.
Neither is she.

Could a President Trump Hold US Hostage?
Just six days to go, Friends,
I had a really scary thought the other day, and it's just slightly beyond the pale. But if you haven't already cast your vote, it's something I hope you'll consider.
Donald Trump is threatening to disrupt our entire system, which has made it through more than two centuries of hell and high water without his sage input.
It's not perfect, but it's nowhere near as broken or "rigged" as he claims it is.
He's proven himself to be pathological in several ways including not having much care for the truth. And despite what he claims, his record and actions show him to be a misogynist and a racist.
Trump has no real policies about anything except lowering taxes, mainly for the super rich.
Oh, he does want to appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn legal abortion, and he's unashamed about using that as a litmus test.
His foreign policy seems to be to suck up to Vladimir Putin, the renowned invader of the Ukraine, child murderer of Aleppo, and assassin of rivals and journalists.
This is who Donald Trump emulates--Putin, and other tyrants like Saddam Hussein.
Great.
Donald Trump knows nothing and cares nothing about our Constitution, the balance of power, or our system of checks and balances. His campaigning barely conceals his desire to be our monarch.
He has proven this clearly with his "only I can fix it" line in many--if not most--of his speeches.
He also has a completely cavalier attitude toward nuclear weapons and a failure to comprehend the fragility of the world's balance of power.
But as President, he will have complete and ultimate control over the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and can launch it at his discretion in four minutes. And we've repeatedly seen how thin-skinned and vindictive he is.
So here's my scary thought: What if he were to use the nuclear arsenal as leverage? What if Trump were to use his singular power to launch a nuclear war as pressure on Congress to give him his way?
And what if he used that leverage to fundamentally change our system and make him not just President, but our de facto Emperor?
He's proven he's crazy enough to do the unexpected. It's what he claims he likes to do. And he'd have the power over our nukes handed right to him.
If you'd put this past Trump, just think of all the unorthodox things we've already seen in this election.
We've always taken for granted that our Presidents would be sane and rational enough to work within our framework and not destroy the world. They all have been enough-so during the nuclear era. But Trump is not.
He is a classic narcissist and everything is always about him...not country. In his mind, we're all just chess pieces in a world he created and controls.
If he ever sensed that he's going down, which hasn't happened yet, a President Trump would take us all down with him.
His "drain the swamp" remarks demonstrate his nihilistic views.
Barring not giving Trump direct access to the nuclear trigger, this man cannot safely be President.

| This one nuke can destroy Manhattan. President Trump can order hundreds of these dropped, along with the launch of ballistic and submarine-based missiles that will destroy the world many times over. All it takes is four minutes. |

Comey Could Stir Up Dem Voters
Just a week to go, Friends,
James Comey seems to be a smart man. He's reputed to have impeccable integrity. If that's the case, then what in the hell could he have been thinking?
With slightly more than a week before the election, the FBI director dropped a bombshell on Hillary Clinton and gave Donald Trump the ammunition he needed to revive his flagging campaign.
In a letter to the congressional committee investigating Mrs. Clinton, Comey implied that there had been new information found in the Clinton private server investigation, and that the FBI would have to sort through it. That wasn't likely to be completed before Election Day.
Wow.
All of a sudden, at least some of the opinion polls have shifted in Trump's favor. This morning, the ABC News/Wall Street Journal tracking poll has him ahead by a point.
Comey had to know that by implying there was new evidence against Hillary Clinton, he would directly impact the presidential election.
He'd already declined to confirm Russian hacking of Democrats or an FBI preliminary inquiry into Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort's Russian connections for that same reason.
Though it appears that Comey (an Obama appointee but registered Republican), and his curious decision is favoring Trump, there may be a different dynamic at work...an ironic one.
It's been a nagging fact that a huge enthusiasm gap exists between Trump's supporters and Hillary's. I personally cast a very reluctant vote for her on the first day of early voting here in Nevada.
If there were any other genuine option to voting for neo-fascist Trump, I would have taken it. There wasn't.
Between rancid raw liver and dog food, I chose dog food.
But Comey's decision to revive Hillary's latent email debacle may be just the thing that riles up Clinton voters enough to get them to the polls. They're horrified about Trump's new signs of life.
He's been demagoguing the FBI announcement and whipping up his followers since Comey's statement was released to Congress on Friday.
But there is no evidence that any of the 650,000 emails on congressional sexter Anthony Wiener's confiscated laptop are anything new or contain some dark secret that would incriminate Hillary.
Hillary's trusted chief aide, Wiener's estranged wife Huma Abedin, claims she has no idea how her emails even got on that computer. I speculate her Yahoo email password was probably known to her husband, and he was trolling her. This would make Abedin's claim completely plausible.
Trump now has all the ammunition he needs to drag this race down to the bottom.
Hopefully, this 'much ado about nothing' will stir voters to hand the worse of the worst two candidates to ever run for President the drubbing he's got coming to him.
