President Biden hesitated this week, backing away from a campaign promise to create a police reform commission. The reason he said is that it could hurt the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. President Biden was playing politics.
Americans are told that not all police officers are killers. That statement then begs this question, What are the odds that so many people of color have the misfortune of only being pulled over by those who are?
Representative Jim Jordan this week went off on Dr. Fauci claiming that Fauci was taking away Americans’ First Amendment rights. Jim Jordan was playing pol ..read more

In the last week, many Major Corporations have suddenly started to develop a conscience. I don’t believe for a second that it’s a real conscious. It’s more like money or bottom-line kind of conscious. Like a fighter exhibits a weakness in the ring for his opponent to exploit, so are these corporations exhibiting a weakness.
It’s in the bottom line. It’s in their profit margin and they are afraid if they remain silent then the American people, their customers, will take notice and begin boycotting their businesses.
They have decided in this current situation to risk upsetting their minions, th ..read more

We as a people have allowed ourselves to be taken over by the American Oligarchy. Over time what the American people have seen as a result of this is the slowing of economic growth except for those at the top, causing a disruption in our economy. This disruption has gone on for decades and in no way affects those at the top. If Americans are to believe the numbers, those at the top have seen their profits soar during this time while the working poor and middle-class have been decimated.

When trying to begin a movement I think it’s important to speak in terms everyone can understand and relate to. The United States today is not the Democratic Republic, it is an Oligarchy.
The reason for this is of course money. Why is it money? Former Senator, Tom Daschle, states that a Senator spends two-thirds of the last two years of his term raising money for their next campaign.
Congressmen spend hours every day on their phones and computers asking people for money for their campaigns. The pressure on candidates to raise money has ratcheted up since the Supreme Court’s, Citizens Unit ..read more

Thom Hartmann talks on February 3, 2021, believes that the United States is not at a functioning Democracy right now but an early stage Oligarchy. Hartmann says the danger is that oligarchies are unstable and either they flip back to Democracy’s which rarely happens or they become full-blown police states.
Hartmann believes as many Americans do, that money has to be taken out of politics. One way to do this is to change the election laws in the United States. The election campaign will last for three months. A $250,000,000 million cap would be imposed and the transition to the new administr ..read more
