But then Hillary was under sniper fire.

As with Donald Trump.

Many of my peers scurried around seeking deferments.

In current times they cower, hide, and avoid the subject.

And view my no cost health care with disdain.

What kind of training do these police officers get?

 

Anyone?

An interesting analysis for those interested enough to read it all:

 

Why Race Relations Got Worse

 

by J. D. Vance

 

...

 

Yet 2016 offers reasons for unique alarm. The progress of recent decades, both political and social, appears to have evaporated in the past few years. And the problems, as so often, are focused on the two oldest classes of our poor. These two underclasses pre-date the United States as a political union. The black underclass, brought here in chains, toiled for centuries in the hopes of earning freedom — first physical, then political. They found themselves concentrated in the South — the home of King Cotton. The white underclass, many of whom descended from Scots-Irish peasants of the motherland, came here freely. They tended to concentrate in the rural parts of the eastern United States, especially along the Appalachian Mountains.

 

The paths of these tribes have sometimes intersected. When recently freed slaves began to marry the white indentured servants of Virginia planters, their children took on a color that entitled them to all of the burdens of their darker-skinned parent. So they moved to eastern Kentucky and eastern Tennessee, called themselves Cherokee Indians, and attempted to live in peace. The locals, unsure what to do with their new neighbors, derisively called them “Melungeons.â€

 

A century later, as the industrial economies of the North created millions of new jobs, the white and black underclasses went hunting for opportunities. The black folks encountered a spate of indignities and a government housing policy that forced them into artificial urban ghettos. And the white establishment, confronted for the first time with people who looked like them but possessed none of their sensibilities, treated these seemingly foreign whites with scorn.

 

As anthropologist John Hartigan Jr., commenting on the rapid industrialization of Detroit, has observed:

 

"It was not simply that the Appalachian migrants, as rural strangers 'out of place' in the city, were upsetting to Midwestern, urban whites. Rather, these migrants disrupted a broad set of assumptions held by northern whites about how white people appeared, spoke, and behaved. . . . The disturbing aspect of hillbillies was their racialness. Ostensibly, they were of the same racial order (whites) as those who dominated economic, political, and social power in local and national arenas. But hillbillies shared many regional characteristics with the southern blacks arriving in Detroit."

US to Send More Troops to Iraq to Help With Mosul.

Got to clean things up before Hillary gets sworn in as she has stated that no US troops will go to any country.

The SPIN zone.

The Wall Street Journal is owned by . . . wait for it . . . Rupert Murdoch. No SPIN journalism.

 

 

“We’re not sure we agree that Mrs. Clinton “won†the debate, though our opinion here is worth the paper it’s printed on. Our sense was that Trump lost his focus after dominating the first 30 minutes or so—the only 30 minutes that matter, according to a predebate piece by Politico’s Shane Goldmacher. Mrs. Clinton was boring and irritating throughout. But it’s possible we are biased.â€
