Dear: Supporters of President Donald J. Trump

Hello. Fellow North American here, who currently resides in Canada.

What the FUCK were you guys thinking?

To be clear, I wasn’t a huge fan of President Obama. He was okay. There were things I agreed and disagreed with. I most certainly did not like Hilary Clinton, except her ‘glass ceiling speech’ after she lost. Sanders was a dreamer, but I found a lot of his policies far too unrealistic. If it was possible, I would’ve preferred someone more like Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden. Both still do have their ups and downs, but it would’ve been my top picks out of the bunch.

Republicans have different values than Democrats. I see that. But what the fuck were you thinking?

Economically, don’t forget that he’s famous for his 3500 lawsuits, 6 bankruptcies, and wrecking investor’s lives by manhandling his business. If it wasn’t for his father and the inheritance he left behind, Trump would not be the wealthy name it is today.

Politically, he seems to share closer values with Russia rather than Canada or Mexico (which happen to be your neighbours, if you haven’t noticed). Mexico is NOT going to build that wall, like no one has a reserve of $20 billion dollars (and yes I do realize it’s actually around $15 billion but it’ll probably exceed this amount within years). You’re kidding yourselves if you believe Mexico will just pull out a cheque for $20 billion and be like ‘ah yes, trade deficit, we should pay you back right now! :)’--that’s NOT how business works, and me, a life science student, should NOT be the one to say this!

Rights. Women’s rights and LGBTQ+ rights. First of all, in regards to LGBTQ+ rights, I still cannot believe this is even a thing. LGBTQ+ people are literally, surprise surprise, FUCKING PEOPLE. Just leave them alone! You don’t have to love them or even accept them, but a small level of tolerance is not a difficult thing to ask for. Let them mind their own business. I really cannot believe that’s so hard to do--please just use your time to mind your own affairs.

When it comes to women’s rights, first of all, ‘grab them by the pussy’ should’ve rang horrible alarm signs in your mind. But if you’re trash and you don’t give a shit, put it this way. What if you were the one being ‘grabbed’? People just don’t care when it’s not about them, but once I make it personal, y’all seem to get real squeamish, real fast. That’s right--he treats women like objects. And I will tell you straight up, if you treat me like an object and ‘grab me by my pussy’, I will make sure you will NEVER be able to screw again, man OR woman. You can’t just ignore these kinds of statements.

Abortion laws are a very grey area. What Trump SHOULD’VE done is make plans or respectfully talk about this topic, which is a pretty sensitive one. Like keeping some abortion clinics open, but somehow splitting taxpayer’s money so those who do support it can have their funds directed to places like Planned Parenthood whereas those who don’t support it can have their funds redirected elsewhere. I don’t know. But what I do know is that demonizing those who support abortions is NOT how you start a healthy conversation. Bantering and arguing is fine, but saying shit without a good argument is lame as fuck. And it’s funny how he says he’ll sue the press whenever they say shit about him, even when they do it with solid evidence. Abortion is one of those things that you’re either for it or against it, and whichever side you’re on, I respect that. But calling it ‘baby murderers’ and putting out executive orders without really considering the other side is a dangerous idea, especially when you put thousands of women at risk during this process.

Maybe you really didn’t like how President Obama ran the States for the last 8 years. Maybe Trump’s words really appealed to you (I’d be baffled as to why, but you tell me). Maybe you just wanted a radical change.

The thing is, I know many people hated Clinton. And I totally agree, she ran a messy campaign, gave easy problems complicated solutions, had multiple scandals (although you really can’t use that argument when you look at the amount Donald Trump has had), and this election, which should’ve been an easy win, was fucked up so badly that she ended up losing to a bigot.

But here’s what I’m really trying to get at here.

Laws, policies, rules, regulations are all important. Having a good economy and maintaining the ‘American Dream’ image is also important.

But what is more important than laws, money, and status is morals. If people do not have morals, then the entire system collapses. If a democratic candidate wins, the republicans have to yield (hopefully just a little bit) for 4-8 years. If a republican candidate wins, the democrats have to yield for 4-8 years. But what the man you have voted for has done, is grabbed the United States in his two hands, ripped it apart in half, and tossed the other half into the garbage can.

This is NOT how a civilized society works. You should be working to create more meaningful conversations, figuring out ways to blend black and white viewpoints into a grey that the majority will be able to agree on, instead of playing tug of war where the winners will reign over the losers for the next 4-8 years. You guys should be aiming for a day where there is no Republican vs. Democrats, but rather, a country that shares similar values with similar people. Keep talking, keep devising plans. But do NOT believe for a second that this will be a successful presidential run when the man leading the United States has no morals, is a pathological liar, and has his ears blocked to the policies he doesn’t like.

Here is the last thing I want to tell everyone.

You are foolish and naive if you believe that President Trump will stand up for YOUR rights when one day, one of his executive orders could hurt you and your family. That man will do what HE wants, not even what the REPUBLICANS want. Having an open mind is so important because if a President strays from his/her path, it is up to the people to unite their voices and yell loud enough so he can hear and revert back. But when your leader is someone who always blocks his ears, devoid to the yelling around him, you have already lost. Because once he strays from that path, he will lead your country to the unknown, and bring it to its ruins.

This should’ve been obvious the moment you saw his campaign. The rest of the world did, so why didn’t you?

To those who DID NOT vote for him or are seriously regretting doing so, here are some tips:

-Donate, if you can. And fun fact: you can do it in Mike Pence’s name (my preferred person, but Trump or Bannon are pretty fun too). Or your racist family members. I actually wasn’t aware of this until I saw it from John Oliver’s segments) -KEEP TALKING. I see ‘us’ becoming more and more repressed by his supporters and that can’t keep happening. Engage in a conversation. Let them be rude and call you a ‘Killary Supporter’, but YOU keep it classy and civilized. Every once in a while, someone will talk to you without throwing childish names around (it’s happened to me a few times) -Fight for what you believe is right. Whether it’s pro-choice or pro-life, how the refugee crisis should be handled, or Trump’s policies, keep fighting for what best represents you. But engage in a conversation, not in a brawl. Try to find a middle point and work out a solution. Talk to others with different POV’s than you. But do something, not nothing.

And if you are currently being affected by Trump, just know that I am, we are here to support you, until you have the same rights as well all should. Do not EVER forget that you are not fighting alone. This is not just a problem that exists within the United States, this is a problem that affects us all. We stand together.

Feminist icon Kate Millett passed away recently in Paris at the age of 82. Her 1970 book Sexual Politics, called “the Bible of Women’s Liberation” by the New York Times, had a seismic effect on feminist thought and launched Millett as what the Times called “a defining architect of second-wave feminism.” In a cover story that same year, TIME magazine crowned her “the Mao Tse-tung of Women’s Liberation.” Fellow feminist Andrea Dworkin said that Millett woke up a sleeping world. Kate’s sister Mallory, a CFO for several corporations, resides in New York City with her husband of over twenty years. In a riveting article from a few years back bluntly titled, ��Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives,” Mallory revealed what she saw of the subversive undercurrent of her sister’s passionate radicalism. Asked for her thoughts on Kate’s legacy, Mallory shared her very personal responses, which follow. Mark Tapson: Your sister was an icon of female empowerment, but what do you think the reality of feminism has been for generations of women since Kate helped launch the second wave of the movement? Mallory Millett: How bizarre it is to have to argue the obvious; to have to prove over and over again what is self-evident so let me be as offensive as I possibly can: Men are men and women are women. They are essentially different and designed for a natural division of labor. Period. I get a kick out of the feminists’ love affair with the word “empowerment.” They have clever formulas for ensnaring hapless souls into their deceits. One of their slicker moves is to create a vocabulary designed to get around long-held beliefs, mores, taboos or fears. “Pro-choice” is their Newspeak euphemism for the casual murder of an human being; “Dreamers” means illegal immigrants; “Progressives” denotes a group dragging us back to the cave; “Sanctuary City” means a place where no actual US citizen is safe. This “empowerment” thing makes me especially crazy. We need only go back to Eden in Genesis where God commanded Adam not to eat a certain apple. Eve demanded he eat it. Adam obeyed Eve against the will of God Himself. That’s not power? It only proves that man will do anything to please woman even if it means going against the wishes of his Almighty Creator. The point of the story is not that woman is evil but that woman is all-powerful and definitely runs the show. Woman sets the boundaries. Man is lost if he is surrounded by bad women. Mae West’s famous double entendre is so appropriate: “When women go wrong men go right after them.” The Genesis admonition to women is to be careful of your influence over others because you already, innately, wield great power… actually, if we believe The Bible, all the power. Having had that power, feminists were so greedy for more that they destroyed our society in order to prove they were exactly like men. In doing so they have destroyed the American family and our children which has resulted in the demolition of society. We are now in a world where Satanism is on the rise, where judges are removing the Ten Commandments from city squares, where abortion is a mere trifle. We allowed [the late atheist activist] Madalyn Murray O’Hair to remove prayer from the classroom and Kate Millett to remove mommy from the home. Deadly combo! My thesis is this: when men ran the world and women ran society we had a chance to conduct our lives in some semblance of balance, but women have abdicated their running of society and thus, it has collapsed dramatically. Women forced their way into the running-the-world deal and now we have a world gone mad. And the beautiful society which we Western women built is in tatters. Moms decided they were the same as men so they deserted the home and babies to grab their briefcases and rush out to run the world. When women ran society power emanated from the home. Men labored to keep their families sheltered, warm, clad and fed while women mostly stayed in the home to run the children and the community. Mother oversaw the household and carefully watched the children’s behavior. Most of the neighborhood women knew each other and had informal meetings in their living rooms and kitchens, called “coffee klatches.” It was here that the community developed ground rules on how to manage children and husbands. Any mother was free to chastise anyone else’s child should they misbehave. It was pretty unheard of for someone to say, “How dare you correct my child!” They would agree amongst themselves what was desired behavior. Good manners were required and trained. Neighbors backed each other up. It was expected. The essential rules that Moms formed in their infants and homes radiated outwardly into streets, schools, offices, boardrooms, departments, factories and agencies to form the framework of Western ethics. The communities, churches and schools all echoed the same values because most people went to Church or Temple and so, the foundation of our mores being Judeo/Christian, Mom’s rules were designed by the Ten Commandments. Many towns didn’t lock their doors, even at night. So, after fifty years of the almighty “consciousness-raising” experiment to empower women, and during the recent Harvey Weinstein [sexual assaults] scandal, what we are hearing from the little girlish voices of the victims is, “I froze, I was paralyzed. I gave in because I didn’t know what to do. I was terrified!” Hey, that’s some weird kind of empowerment. When I was a girl we did what our moms instructed: we yelled “NO,” slapped his face, and left the room or called a cop. MT: Many people aren’t aware of feminism’s roots in cultural Marxism, but you were present at early meetings of the revolutionaries who would go on to form NOW, the National Organization for Women. Can you tell us what you witnessed behind the scenes about their true aims? MM: In 1969 I attended consciousness-raising sessions in New York City with my sister, Kate, where a group of 10-15 women sat around a long oval table and plotted the New Feminist Movement and the founding of NOW. Their template was Mao’s China and the group confessionals conducted in each village in order to “cleanse the people’s thinking.” The burning objective of Kate’s “consciousness-raising” was “the destruction of the American family,” as she deemed it “a patriarchal institution devoted to the oppression and enslavement of women and children.” They went on to form NOW and, with that organization, achieve their stated goal of taking down the Patriarchy through a massive coordinated promotion of promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution, abortion and homosexuality. Their proposed method was to infiltrate every institution in the nation: the universities, the media, primary and secondary schools, PTAs, Teachers Unions, city and state governments, the library system, the executive branches of government as well as the judiciaries and legislatures. One of their most desired results was the smashing of every taboo in Western culture. Imagine that! Think of that alone! The normalizing of every taboo: polygamy, bestiality, Satanism, pornography, promiscuity, witchcraft, pedophilia – all activities which rot the human soul and city. Nothing burns down a society with such dispatch and totality as the unleashing of taboos. My sister Kate decided her contribution would be to establish Women’s Studies courses at every U.S. college and university, which she efficiently executed. On examination, these courses emerge as nothing more than Marxism 101. Kate taught that the family is literally a slave unit with the man as the bourgeoisie and the women and children the proletariat. Two of her own books were required reading. In these classes young girls are conditioned into murderers who will dispense with their own precious unborn child as readily as a dirty Kleenex without a twinge because “it’s my body.” I can’t hear of the 70 million Americans killed before birth without a catch in my heart over Kate’s role in this. She taught girls to “be an outlaw; be a damned outlaw, cuz all the laws were made by evil white men. Be a slut and be proud of it!” Now we have girls parading about with the word “SLUT” emblazoned across their tee-shirts. Orgies? “Absolutely! Try everything. There are no rules.” So the woman whose job it is to construct the basic rules threw them all to the wind. Then she ran away from home and from any babies she didn’t kill in order to run the world. We’ve had women running the SEC, the Secret Service, the IRS, the DNC, yada yada yada. They run so many things now and a great many are under investigation with one female head of department after another either lying or refusing to answer legitimate questions being asked by the people (i.e., congressional committees). Aren’t public officials required to answer to the people? “Be an outlaw, be a damned outlaw!” So, they infiltrated every system and department in education, media, entertainment, government, justice, Wall Street, you name it and they’re there. For decades since they started their stealth invasion the father in every sitcom has been debased and, most of all, clueless. I am dumbfounded at the efficiency with which these women recruited others and wheedled their way into everything in fifty short years. Oh, yes, woman is one hell of a powerful force. Now, we have a nightmare army of militant feminists: Lois Lerner, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Huma Abedin, Nancy Pelosi, Oprah Winfrey, Samantha Power, Elizabeth Warren, Cheryl Mills, Maxine Waters, Donna Brazile, plus the main outlaw, Hillary Clinton, lying and obfuscating us into chaos. That’s what outlaws create: chaos! Today, 60% of babies who escape abortion are born outside of marriage. On top of that they are miserably reared, thrown into child-care shortly after birth, with not only a lousy education but a miseducation in classrooms infiltrated by Mao, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Howard Zinn, Naom Chomsky, Marx, and Saul Alinsky rather than readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmatic, American History, and Civics. Our children now score poorly compared with other countries, whereas before the feminist “experiment” we led in almost all categories. In 1964 we had 90% literacy and 5% illegitimate births. We now score shockingly low on literacy (38% of American men read at the lowest levels; only 11% of men and 12% of women are proficient readers) and of course, those out-of-wedlock births at 60%. I would say that raising several ill-prepared fatherless generations of slackers, meth and opioid users, porn dogs, disheveled rockers, and illiterates speaks poorly of any degree of empowerment in parenting. Most parenting is done by absent single women since two-thirds of mothers are raising their youngsters outside of marriage. So, we have the filthy clothes, ten o’clock shadows on guys, shocking grammar, plethora of tattoos, sullen misfits in torn filthy clothing listening to violent hate-filled so-called music; entitled attitudes and non-existent manners say it all. Empowerment? Why, the facts scream that feminists are two generations of the worst-ever educators of America’s children. In what manner does this speak of empowerment? Woman, by your fruits are you known! And those fruits didn’t come out of your briefcases. MT: In obituaries upon Kate’s passing, the news media wrote largely glowingly of her influence, but what do you think the good and bad of her feminist legacy has been? MM: As I scan the wreckage of our beautiful America, knowing that my own sister was in great part responsible, I feel as if my heart has been kicked down the stairs. So, on pondering this question about the good and the bad of militant feminism, it reminds me of the joke in which the reporter asks, “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?” MT: Can you tell us a bit about Kate’s mental instability, and if you think it had anything to do with her radicalism? Or vice versa – do you think her radicalism affected her mental state? MM: Kate was mentally ill for as long as I remember. She was five when I was born and our elder sister Sally says that once I arrived, Kate was hanging over my bassinet plotting my murder. We shared a bedroom from my birth. From my earliest memory I recall trembling from the vibrations of her insanity. She was the most disturbed, megalomaniacal, evil and dishonest person I have ever known. She tried to kill me so many times that it’s now an enormous blur of traumatizing horrors. She was a sadist, a torturer, a deeply-engrained bully who took immense pleasure in hurting others. Incorrigible and ruthless, she was expelled multiple times from every school she attended. I spent my childhood with heart hammering as I tiptoed through the house so as not to be noticed by the dreadful Kate. Our mother was helpless, paralyzed with terror in the face of Kate. It’s a grinding hardship to bring oneself to write such harsh things about one’s own blood. It took some bucking up for me to start telling the truth. I must say here that, always and forever, I had a reservoir of love for my sister Kate, but reality trumps all and her brand of nihilistic darkness was an implacable obstacle. I spent decades laboring to reason her into the light. One day my counselor guessed it: “So, do you understand that you’re trying to make your sister sane?” “I know,” I said, thinking of her stiff smile, which was never real. Her smile was that chilling kind in which the mouth is rigidly arranged into a smile shape showing all the teeth, but it’s obviously a joyless mask. “If only she could be happy. If only she could cease being so agitated and miserable.” “You cannot make that happen,” said my advisor. “We cannot talk another into sanity. That’s entirely up to her.” “But what can I do?” I pleaded. “Sometimes, you just have to leave the room.” I understood in a flash that, so loyally attached to her was I, it had never occurred to me I could actually, simply, leave the room. Kate announced her atheism very early on and the vacuum created sucked in even more corruption, lying, stealing, fury and domination of others. If God and the afterlife are abandoned then you’re going to be cranky, morose, generally angry, and it’s simple to toss out the Ten Commandments. I would venture that her mental instability created her affinity for the atheism of Marxism. To quote Dennis Prager: “My belief in God and the afterlife keeps me sane. The thought that just this life is all there is would mean that life is random and pointless. It means I will never again see those I love. This would drive me mad. I don’t see how it wouldn’t drive anyone mad who cares about suffering and who loves anyone. So, is there an afterlife? If there is a God, of course there’s an afterlife.” Most everyone on the left is atheistic, depressed, dark and miserable, and they want us all to be miserable. Winston Churchill said, “Socialism results in the equal sharing of misery.” They detest happiness. Nothing makes them more miserable than another’s happiness. There is no more comedy! Since they swooped in and took over Hollywood and Broadway, everywhere you search for comic relief is dark, dark, dark. Surf through 200 TV channels and it is grim, grim, grim and then there’s a dismemberment. Our “entertainment” has become death, terror, horror and filth. Americans were funny people – funniest in the world after the Brits. First, they lost humor and then we followed. Tina Fey? Major funny-killer. Lena Dunham? A disgrace! Saturday Night Live? David Letterman? Kill me, just shoot me. I love the term “Feminazi,” as these humorless women are, indeed, fascists, killers of faith and society. So many people think the rise of women and the evisceration of our culture are somehow coincidental. But it’s been calculated and deliberate. It’s the only way America can be “fundamentally transformed” into the Marxist test-tube to dazzle the world. It’s the result of HATE: hating God, hating life, hating society, hating men, hating babies, hating history, hating our fathers, hating our families, hating our white male Founders, hating happiness, hating heterosexuality, hating Western civ. Is this not madness? I was with them at that table as they founded the Women’s Movement and NOW. The entire stated point of their activities was to destroy the American family and with that, Western Civilization. Is this not crazy? They were tooth-grittingly determined. They were driven by destruction and deeply violent impulses toward men and the patriarchy. Their goal? To establish a matriarchy in order to end all war because that’s what men do, wage war. They believed that if women ran everything there would be no more war. In their madness they have conspired to destroy masculinity, drugging our little boys while trying to remake them into little girls and thus, emboldening our enemies who now see us as easy pickings. No nation is easier to overwhelm than one which has feminized the men and put females at the head of the tribe. Matriarchies never survive – never have, never will! So, they plotted for Hillary Clinton to go to the White House simply because she was female. She is a proven liar, a persecutor of her husband’s sexual victims, a woman whose campaign for President was remarkably incompetent. Yet, they were certain (still are) that she was up to running America and to be the Leader of The Free World! She couldn’t even run her own campaign. But that didn’t matter to Kate and her pals. She was a woman and that was enough. Is this not sexism? Is this not madness? Kate’s life story is a saga of our family desperately trying to have her involuntarily received into a mental institution where they may have helped her. She vividly chronicles most of it in two of her books, Flying and The Looney-Bin Trip. Over and over our elder sister Sally, our mother and I, and various nephews and nieces endeavored to have her hospitalized. This was especially true after an incident when I was trapped alone with Kate in an apartment in Sacramento for a week and she did not allow me to sleep for five days as she raged and ranted, eyes rolling in her head, frothing at the mouth and holding chats with “little green men.” Not knowing a single person in Sacramento, I had nowhere to turn. Too terrified to go to sleep, I wasn’t sure she even knew who I was but I could imagine a butcher knife thrust into my back as I slept. Big sister Sally came from Nebraska to rescue me. After that there was an enormous effort by the family wherein we all took Kate to court for legal commitment in Minnesota. She hired a male feminist hotshot New York lawyer and managed to swim back out into the world to hurt, menace, and harm ever more people. When Sally called last September to say Kate dropped dead in a Paris hotel room that morning, I was flooded with such indescribable relief that she could no longer spread her filth, lies and misery, nor could she go on threatening the lives and safety of others. Once, she wrote an entire book describing her deep passion for her lover, Sita. Sita’s response was to kill herself. My biggest anxiety about Kate has always been that one day she would take out a family of five on the Saw Mill River Parkway as – laced with liquor, wine, lithium, marijuana, and God knows what else – she hurtled, ranting and raging, up that difficult road. For many years I have braced for that call in the night. She had enablers everywhere. She was worshiped on all seven continents. We did a massive intervention with twelve of us: family and friends, a psychiatrist, two ambulances standing by, several cops, and she managed to elude us all by hopping on a plane for Ireland. Her “instability,” as you put it, was apparent enough to both airline and cops in Shannon that she was committed by the police straight from the plane to an Irish psychiatric ward whereupon her ubiquitous groupies – this time Irish – managed her escape through a second-story window in the middle of the night. Without a doubt, over time, once she became enmeshed in the larger group of leftist activists around the world, her madness, buoyed by their lunacy, became even greater and more impossible to penetrate. Their groupthink is so dense, so full of lies, the vocabulary is so deceptive and intricately designed to brainwash, that just to witness it and their interactions from a distance is beyond alarming. After we buried our mother I never spoke with Kate again, as I’d finally come to accept that there is no honest communication with this mental illness that is today’s liberalism. Finally, I left the room. The original article can be found at: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/269251/my-sister-kate-destructive-feminist-legacy-kate-mark-tapson

Why Symone Sanders Went From Bernie to Biden

New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/why-symone-sanders-went-from-bernie-to-biden/

Why Symone Sanders Went From Bernie to Biden

M.Scott Mahaskey/POLITICO

When Symone Sanders enters the Matchbox restaurant in Capitol Hill’s Barracks Row, she’s hard to miss: Big sunglasses, intricately painted nails and a shaved head. She walks through the door on a summer day, checking the phone in her hand every few seconds to see if she got a text message or new alert. Every millennial does this, but like most things with Sanders, she is one notch more intense about it. The texts and alerts come more often, and she checks them more often, too.

As she nears her lunch table, she spies Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, quietly eating lunch a few tables away.

This restaurant is one of Washington’s bipartisan hangouts, a regular spot for both Republicans and Democrats. Families come here to brunch. Congressional staffers and political operatives go here to get a little distance from the day job. Marginally famous political types use it as a reprieve from the grind. It’s rarely a site for any kind of conflict or open expression of discomfort. But when Sanders spies Lewandowski, one of the architects of her party’s defeat in the presidential election of 2016, she waves a hand dismissively in his direction, and trumpets to me and no one else in particular: “Under no circumstances!”

She shakes her head, without breaking pace and holds one hand out. “Absolutely not. No. I am not going to sit near Corey Lewandowski.”

Sanders is a household name among the political class in D.C., where a reference to “Symone” among journalists, congressional staffers and campaign operatives is understood to refer to just one person. While still in her 20s, she served as a top aide to two Democratic presidential campaigns and as a regular talking head on the cable news networks.

So it’s easy to recognize her. But on this day, Lewandowski either doesn’t notice Sanders or decides not to acknowledge the brush-off. Even so, Sanders and I moved tables.

“I guess for some people I’m an anomaly,” Sanders tells me once we are seated an acceptable 30 feet or so from Lewandowski, with glasses of sangria in front of us. In a company town where the stereotypical operative is a white Ivy league graduate, Sanders concedes that she stands out. “I’m a bald, 29-year-old black girl from the Midwest who does politics.”

In one sense, Symone Sanders is very much a recognizable Washington character, the archetype of an ambitious young operative—she’s now 30—comfortable in front of a camera, unafraid to claim a slot as the voice of a grassroots activist community, and very conscious of her brand.

In another, though, she’s an object of curiosity. In 2016, she hit the national stage as press secretary for Bernie Sanders, the uncompromising outsider whose progressive crusade galvanized the American left. This year, she’s a senior advisor and cable TV surrogate for Joe Biden, the centrist candidate whom Bernie supporters widely see as a rebuke, even a threat, to their entire mission.

“If anybody’s wondering if Joe Biden can take on Donald Trump and is ready for a fight I’d point you to the video in Iowa,” Sanders said during a panel of operatives held at POLITICO’s Women Rule summit this month. Sanders was referring to a heated—and controversial—exchange Biden had with a voter where at one point he called the voter “a damn liar.”

In her current role, Symone Sanders represents something that could become very important in 2020 Democratic politics: If Biden becomes the nominee, and the activated political left is going to get in line for Uncle Joe, they’re going to walk the path that Symone Sanders walked, from the lure of the purist to the siren song of a person who you don’t entirely agree with but says he can just plain oldwin.

If you tried to describewhat Symone Sandersdoes, exactly, there’s no quick way to capture her unusual position in the 2020 Democratic campaign world. She’s part behind-the-scenes campaign operative and part media personality. On paper, Sanders checks the boxes of the kind of Democrat the party thinks will help it to oust Trump from the White House. She is black, young, a native of a Great Plains state, and outraged by the current administration and its enablers like Lewandowski.

There are parallel universes where Sanders is making an argument for other presidential contenders. During the embryonic phase of the 2020 primary campaign, she found herself with connections to Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris. At the beginning of the Trump administration, Omarosa Manigault even felt her out about a job in the Trump White House (Manigault declined to comment for this story). She’d gone out drinking whiskey with Gillibrand, she said she had tea with Warren, and that she was close to Maya Harris, Kamala Harris’s sister who chaired her campaign. She was in contact with all of those proto-campaigns, to varying degrees. She even donated $250 to Pete Buttigieg.

Then, when Joe Biden formally announced his candidacy for president in April, Symone Sanders was listed as a senior adviser on a press release of “Key Campaign Hires” as part of the campaign rollout. Before the Biden campaign, Sanders was a frequent Democratic talking head on CNN and, for a short time, a regular guest on the Pod Save America podcast.

This was not, for many people, the Symone Sanders they knew. In the last cycle, she’d voice the Vermont senator’s opposition to super PACs and support for single-payer healthcare. Now she was signing up for a candidate who believed none of those things. The Black Lives Matter organizer Deray McKesson recalled asking her, “Why Biden?”—a question many other progressive activists were asking, too. She told McKesson that she liked the impression she got when she sat down with the former vice president. That wasn’t enough to sell McKesson on Biden.

“It hasn’t made me less critical of Biden,” McKesson told me over the summer. “I want to see what she saw.”

Similarly, Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, another Symone Sanders acquaintance, said “I didn’t see it coming” when he found out that Sanders had joined the Biden campaign.

What changed? Was it her, or the world?

“My politics are not tied to Bernie Sanders and they are not tied to Joe Biden,” Sanders told me when I asked her about this seeming contradiction. “I have great respect for Senator Sanders and I have great respect and admiration for Vice President Biden. If I didn’t, I would not be working for him right now. But he does not define me.”

This is a striking statement from a young staffer in a town where status is generally determined by how important your boss is—and your standing with your boss depends on how unquestioned your loyalty is.

It points to Sanders’ unusual status in Washington. It’s common for Democrats to build a career as a political operative and then transition to a role as a political commentator—perhaps while maintaining their work in politics. It’s much rarer to see someone rise through both spheres concurrently.

That might explain why Sanders seeks to separate her politics from her own candidate. “I’ve never agreed 100 percent with anybody I’ve gone to work for,” Sanders said. “Obviously I’ve disagreed with Vice President Biden.”

There’s also the possibility that thisisa kind of loyalty: She’s sending a pro-Biden message to her fellow skeptical progressives, reminding them that ideological purity may, in this case, be less important than waging the most competitive challenge to Trump. Sanders, like the rest of the Biden campaign, is insistent that her candidate is the best one, not because of any single policy issue or a vision of America, but because of Biden’s ability to appeal to two constituencies that the next Democratic nominee is going to need: black voters, and the Rust Belt workers who went for Trump in 2016.

After the Bernie Sanders campaign, Symone Sanders carved out a job as a CNN analyst and political commentator. She still appears on TV occasionally, but now the chyron no longer reads political analyst.

“When my niece and nephew ask me what I was doing to get Trump out of office I’m not going to say I was sitting in a fucking studio pontificating about what people are doing on the campaign trail,” she said. “I’m going to say I was actively out there working.”

Sanders’ job, in part, is to weave her boss’s decades of shifting political positions and comments into something that feels coherent, and palatable, to Democratic primary voters in the America of 2020. This is not always easy. Before a rally in Philadelphia around the start of Biden’s presidential campaign, Sanders was pressed by CNN’s Victor Blackwell over Biden’s defense of the 1994 crime bill, legislation that progressives say contributed to mass incarceration. Sanders couldn’t directly answer whether Biden now believed the bill contributed to mass incarceration or not. It was an uncomfortable position for someone who, before serving as Bernie Sanders’ campaign press secretary, was a volunteer for the Coalition for Juvenile Justice, a criminal-justice reform organization in Washington.

“I am not going to sit here and tell you the crime bill was perfect,” Sanders said, clearly taken aback. “At the end of the day no one is suggesting what has ravaged communities over the last 20 years does not need to be fixed.”

In backing Biden,Sanders hopes to woo her old ideological confederates—but she has alienated them, too.

For the grassroots Bernie supporters she was aligned with in 2016, Sanders is a textbook example of a political operative who started out in a party’s activist wing only to move away from those roots through advancement. Usually, the enmity is relatively minor.

In the case of Sanders vs. Sanders—Symone and the disciples of Bernie—it’s more extreme. “Bernie acolytes”—as distinguished from what she called mere “Bernie supporters”—have “a particular vitriol” when someone leaves the flock, the Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen told me.

During the 2016 campaign, Symone was regarded by some Bernie Sanders staffers as more of a hired gun than a true believer. That’s been on public display this cycle. After the second Democratic presidential debate, the one where Kamala Harris body-slammed Biden over his past opposition to using busing for school desegregation, the Justice Democrats, a group born out of Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, spliced together a clip of Symone Sanders tying herself into knots trying to explain Biden’s position with one of Jesse Jackson criticizing Biden for being on the “wrong” side of history.

Coworkers friendly with her on the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign say she was pushed out, and was a specific target of communication director Michael Briggs’ wrath. Briggs declined to talk about Sanders on the record. A top adviser on the 2016 campaign said Symone was essentially “sidelined” by some other operatives on the campaign. But some Sanders campaign operatives speak highly of Symone, and she regards the Vermont senator positively now, even as he competes with Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I think Sen. Sanders [and I] had a rapport but we didn’t have a relationship. But perhaps my time wouldn’t have been so tough the last go around if in addition to having a relation to [campaign manager] Jeff Weaver I had an actual relationship to Sen. Sanders,” she said. “I’ve built a real relationship with Vice President Biden, and I feel as though if anything were to happen he would have my back.”

After 2016, Sanders moved over to a number of more establishment roles within the Democratic Party, including working for Priorities USA, the party’s flagship super PAC, an unheard of move for a true Bernie Sanders apostle. It was the equivalent of being born Amish and opting to leave the faith to help run Microsoft.

Still, Symone acknowledges the allure of the Vermont senator and his policies.

“Why did I go to work for Sen. Sanders? Because I liked what he was talking about,” Symone Sanders says.

That’s a notable contrast to her explanation of how she decided to work for Biden—that he seemed like the best candidate to beat Trump.

Even so, it was clear to Guy Cecil, the president of Priorities USA who hired her to work there, that Symone never quite fit into the Bernie campaign. “She was too Bernie for the Hillary people; she was too Hillary for the Bernie people,” Cecil said. “Frankly, I think one of the biggest mistakes Clinton campaign did was not bringing Symone on. I think she could have been helpful to them in a lot of ways.”

Sanders grew up in Omaha, Nebraska.Her mother was a seamstress, then an event planner with a specialty in balloon artistry. Her father was a chemist for the Army Corps of Engineers. In 2014, after graduating from Creighton and becoming known as a blogger and a columnist at the Omaha Star, an African-American newspaper, Sanders joined the long-shot gubernatorial campaign for Democrat Chuck Hassebrook. She started out as the team’s communications assistant. Her immediate ambitions to rise in the campaign.

Sanders volunteered to drive Hassebrook around the state. She was 23. “In Nebraska, it’s eight hours from Omaha to Scottsbluff,” she said. “That’s a lot of time with the candidate.”

She seemed to instinctively understand how important thankless tasks, and a close relationship with the candidate, are to advancement in politics. Less than five months after joining the campaign, Sanders was its deputy communications director.

“She got things done that she said she would do. She was logical and rational,” said Hassebrook, whose campaign didn’t break 40 percent of the vote. “She didn’t just say what you wanted to believe.” He added, “You’ve got a lot of folks who are very committed to politics, but they kind of think with their heart. And she was logical and rational and thought things through.”

Sanders says her relationship with Biden, like her relationship with Hassebrook on that first campaign, is “very frank” one. She travels with Biden, too, and has served as a surrogate in the spin room at the Democratic presidential debates. “I help with everything from debate prep to the political team, I help support the comms team, obviously people have seen me on television for the president. I help with delegate chasing. I help with fundraising.” The former vice president is her direct supervisor, she said. When I asked her how much of Biden’s ear she has, Sanders said: “I’m engaged and involved in our campaign strategy. But it’s not just him. I speak with my colleagues, other advisers, the deputy campaign managers. I’m involved as much as I want to be or as least as I want to be.”

Sanders says her portfolio on the campaign includes progressives, minorities, and young voters, but she has also been a frequent spinmaster and part of the Biden cleanup crew. During a Twitter cycle that centered on whether a gang leader whom Biden said called himself “Corn Pop” was real, Sanders retweeted journalist Daniel Dale’s tweet about an article backing that up. “Okay now can we all get back to our Sunday?” she wrote. “Can’t believe this thread was necessary.”

That was an easy one, unlike the chronic repair over Biden’s age. Sometimes Sanders has used humor, as she did when Biden said parents should leave a “record player” on to improve children’s vocabulary. “You don’t know about the vinyl vote?” Sanders said on CNN.

At the Women Rule panel,Sanders sat on stage in a leopard-print dress and black boots, beside Nina Smith, the traveling press secretary for Pete Buttigieg, and Alencia Johnson, the national director for public engagement for Elizabeth Warren. All three are women of color in marquee roles on major presidential campaigns. At one point, Sanders was asked if her career decisions were scrutinized more than her male peers.“Yes,” Sanders said quickly. “I absolutely feel that way. I think it’s partly because folks are not used to seeing people look like me make the decisions that I’ve decided to make about my career.”

There is a small, elite group of Democratic operatives nicknamed the Colored Girls: four African American women who have reached the highest echelons of Democratic politics as senior advisers and campaign managers. The group is made up of Donna Brazile, Minyon Moore and Leah Daughtry and Yolanda Caraway. All have shifted into semi-legendary status among Democratic operatives. They are the literal party elders. Decades later, there’s a new, emerging wave of young and mid-level Democratic operatives who seem to be on a similar trajectory. They have a text chain together. Symone Sanders may be the most prominent.

Here Sanders was more modest than usual. When I recounted how other operatives I talked to—and Barnes, the Wisconsin lieutenant governor—predicted that Sanders could be the White House press secretary, the first black woman to rise to the most sought-after political communications job, Sanders said, “Oh wow.”

“It’s not like there’s a group of us that run around like we’re the Colored Girls 2.0 of young people,” she said. “But all of the young operatives of color, and even not of color, but typically the young operatives of color, we talk to each other, whether we’re on different campaigns.”

She mentioned Chris Huntley, a speechwriter for Elizabeth Warren, and Maya Harris.

My first lunch with Symone Sanders was in July. Months later, Biden is still the frontrunner, even as Warren and Buttigieg and Bernie threaten him in Iowa and New Hampshire. Not long ago, I asked her if she was surprised to find the field unsettled, when at the beginning of 2017 it seemed like Biden might coast to victory.

“It’s easy to say ‘I had an inkling that it would shake out this way,’ ” Sanders said. “I didn’t.”

Especially online, criticism of Biden from the young, progressive element of the Democratic Party is becoming intense. The hosts—her former colleagues—at Pod Save America complain that Biden hasn’t come on their podcast for an interview.

Symone Sanders emerged from the very liberal, extremely online part of the Democratic Party, but she’s on another team now.

They “are just not feeling Joe Biden in this election,” Sanders said. “The Pod Save bros think that someone else could be a better nominee. OK that’s the bros. The bros are not the voters of America across the country. The bros are not black people in South Carolina. The bros are not culinary workers in Nevada.”

Zuckerberg misunderstands the huge threat of TikTok

“It’s almost like the Explore Tab that we have on Instagram” said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in leaked audio of him describing TikTok during an all-hands meeting. But it’s not. TikTok represents a new form of social entertainment that’s vastly different from the lifelogging of Instagram where you can just take a selfie, show something pretty, or pan around what you’re up to. TikToks are premeditated, storyboarded, and vastly different than the haphazard Stories on Insta.

That’s why Zuckerberg’s comments cast a dark shadow over the future of the Facebook family of apps. How can it beat what it doesn’t understand? He certainly can’t ignore it. Facebook’s copycat Lasso has been installed just 425,000 times since it launched in November, while TikTok has 640 million installs in the same period outside of China. Oh, and TikTok has 1.4 billion total installs beyond China to date.

TikTok

Casey Newton of The Verge today published two hours of audio and transcripts from two internal-only all-hands Q&As held by Zuckerberg at Facebook in July. His comments touch on the company’s plan to fight being broken up by regulators, especially if Elizabeth Warren becomes President. He thinks Facebook would win, but on resorting to suing the government, he says “does that still suck for us? Yeah.” Zuckerberg also describes how Facebook is working to launch a payments product in Mexico and elsewhere by year’s end as Libra deals with regulatory scrutiny.

But beyond his comments on regulation, it’s his pigeonholing of TikTok that’s most alarming. It foreshadows Facebook failing to win one of the core social feeds that its business depends on. Perhaps his perspective on the competitor is evolving, but the leak portrays him as thinking TikTok is just the next Snapchat Stories to destroy.

Zuckeberg’s Thoughts On TikTok

Here’s what Zuckerberg said about TikTok during the internal Q&A sessions, (emphasis mine):

So yeah. I mean, TikTok is doing well. One of the things that’s especially notable about TikTok is, for a while, the internet landscape was kind of a bunch of internet companies that were primarily American companies. And then there was this parallel universe of Chinese companies that pretty much only were offering their services in China. And we had Tencent who was trying to spread some of their services into Southeast Asia. Alibaba has spread a bunch of their payment services to Southeast Asia. Broadly, in terms of global expansion, that had been pretty limited, and TikTok, which is built by this company Beijing ByteDance, is really the first consumer internet product built by one of the Chinese tech giants that is doing quite well around the world. It’s starting to do well in the US, especially with young folks. It’s growing really quickly in India. I think it’s past Instagram now in India in terms of scale. So yeah, it’s a very interesting phenomenon.

And the way that we kind of think about it is: it’s married short-form, immersive video with browse. So it’s almost like the Explore Tab that we have on Instagram, which is today primarily about feed posts and highlighting different feed posts. I kind of think about TikTok as if it were Explore for stories, and that were the whole app. And then you had creators who were specifically working on making that stuff. So we have a number of approaches that we’re going to take towards this, and we have a product called Lasso that’s a standalone app that we’re working on, trying to get product-market fit in countries like Mexico, is I think one of the first initial ones. We’re trying to first see if we can get it to work in countries where TikTok is not already big before we go and compete with TikTok in countries where they are big.

We’re taking a number of approaches with Instagram, including making it so that Explore is more focused on stories, which is increasingly becoming the primary way that people consume content on Instagram, as well as a couple of other things there. But yeah, I think that it’s not only one of the more interesting new phenomena and products that are growing. But in terms of the geopolitical implications of what they’re doing, I think it is quite interesting. I think we have time to learn and understand and get ahead of the trend. It is growing, but they’re spending a huge amount of money promoting it. What we’ve found is that their retention is actually not that strong after they stop advertising. So the space is still fairly nascent, and there’s time for us to kind of figure out what we want to do here. But I think this is a real thing. It’s good.

To Zuckerberg’s credit, he’s not dismissing the threat. He knows TikTok is popular. He knows it’s growing in key international markets Facebook and Instagram depend on to keep user counts rising. And he knows his company needs to respond via its standalone clone Lasso and more.

Lasso

But while TikToks might look like Stories because they’re vertical videos, and TikTok might algorithmically recommend them to people like Instagram Explore, it’s a whole ‘nother beast of a product and one that may be harder than it seems to copy.

To crystallize why, let’s rewind to Snapchat. With the launch of Stories, it started to blow up with US teens. Facebook’s attempts to clone it in standalone apps like Poke and Slingshot never gained traction. In fact, none of Facebook’s standalone apps have succeeded unless they splintered off an already-popular piece of Facebook like chat and users were forced to download them like Messenger. It wasn’t until Zuckerberg stuck his clone of Stories front-and-center atop Instagram and Facebook that Snapchat’s user count went from growing 18% per quarter to shrinking. There, Facebook used the same strategy laid out in Zuckerberg’s comments — push its good-enough clone in countries where the original isn’t popular yet.

But Facebook was fortunate because Stories really wasn’t that dissimilar to the content users were already sharing on Instagram — tiny biographical snippets of their lives. Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel had originally invented Stories as a vision of Facebook’s News Feed through the lens of an ephemeral camera. All users had to know was “I take the same videos, but shorter and sillier, posted more often, and then they disappear”. The concept of Instagram and Facebook didn’t have to change. They were still about telling friends what you were up to. Choking off TikTok’s growth will be much more complicated.

Why TikTok Is Tough To Clone

TikTok isn’t about you or what you’re doing. It’s about entertaining your audience. It’s not spontaneous chronicling of your real life. It’s about inventing characters, dressing up as someone else, and acting out jokes. It’s not about privacy and friends, but strutting on the world stage. And it’s not about originality — the heart of Instagram. TikTok is about remixing culture — taking the audio from someone else’s clip and reimagining the gag in a new context by layering it atop a video you record.

That makes TikTok distinct enough that it will be very difficult to shoehorn into Instagram or Facebook, even if they add the remixing functionality. Most videos on those apps aren’t designed to be templates for memes like TikToks are. Insta and Facebook’s social graphs are rooted in friendship and augmented by the beautiful and famous, but don’t encompass the new wave of amateur performers TikTok elevates. And since each post to the app becomes fodder for someone else’s creativity, a competitor starting from scratch doesn’t offer much to remix.

That means a TikTok clone would have to be somewhat buried in Instagram or Facebook, rebuild a new social graph, and retrain users’ understanding of these apps’ purpose…at the risk of distracting from their core use cases. This leaves Facebook hoping to grow its standalone TikTok clone Lasso which TechCrunch scooped a year ago before it launched last November. But as we’ve seen, Facebook struggles growing brand new apps, and that effort is further hindered by its increasingly toxic brand and sheen of uncoolness. Nor does it help that Facebook must divert development resources to comply with all the new privacy and transparency obligations as part of its $5 billion FTC fine and settlement.

The Next Feed

Facebook’s best bet is to assess the future value of the ads it could run on a successful TikTok clone and apply some greater fraction of that grand sum to competing directly. It’s already made some smart additions to Lasso like tutorials for how to remix and the option to add GIFs as sections of your video. But it’s still failing to gain serious traction in the US. While typical TikTok homepage videos have hundreds of thousands of Likes, the top ones I saw in my Lasso feed today received 70 or fewer.

I had Sensor Tower run some analysis comparing TikTok with Lasso since its launch last November, and found that Lasso gets 6 downloads for every 1000 for TikTok in the US. Some more stats:

US Total Downloads Since November: Lasso – 250,000 // TikTok – 41.3 million

US Downloads Per Day Since November: Lasso – 760 // TikTok – 126,000

Average US Google Play Social App Chart Ranking: Lasso – #155 // TikTok – #2

Beyond the US, Lasso has only launched in one other market, Mexico in April, where it’s been faring better but could hardly even be considered a competitor to TikTok. They won’t even coherently fit together on a graph. Facebook needs to lean harder into Lasso:

Mexico Total Downloads Since April: Lasso – 175,000 // TikTok – 3.3 million

Mexico Downloads Per Day Since November: Lasso – 1,000 // TikTok – 19,000

Zuckerberg may need to find a coherent place for TikTok style features inside Instagram and potentially Facebook. That could be another horizontal row of previews like with Stories and/or a header on the Explore page dedicated to premeditated content. Certainly something more prominent than a single button like IGTV that still no one is asking for. One opportunity to best TikTok would be building a dedicated remix source browser into the Stories camera to help users find content to put their own spin on.

Facebook will also need to buy out top TikTok creators to make videos for it instead, and even quasi-hire some of the most prolific video meme or challenge inventors to give users trends to jump on rather than just one-off clips to watch. Its failure to offer IGTV stars monetization has led many to ignore that platform, and it can’t afford that again.

If Zuckerberg approaches TikTok as merely an algorithmic video recommender like Explore, Facebook will miss out on owning the social entertainment feed. If he doesn’t decisively move to challenge TikTok soon, its catalog of content to remix will grow insurmountable and it will own the whole concept of short form performative video. Snapchat’s insistence on ephemerality makes it incompatible with remixing, and YouTube isn’t nimble enough to reinvent itself.

If no American company can step up, we could see our interest data, faces, and attention forfeited to an app that while delightful to use, heralds Chinese political values at odds with our own.

Zuckeberg’s Thoughts On TikTok

Here’s what Zuckerberg said about TikTok during the internal Q&A sessions, (emphasis mine):

Lasso

Why TikTok Is Tough To Clone

The Next Feed

I had Sensor Tower run some analysis comparing TikTok with Lasso since its launch last November, and found that Lasso gets 6 downloads for every 1000 for TikTok in the US. Some more stats:

US Total Downloads Since November: Lasso – 250,000 // TikTok – 41.3 million

US Downloads Per Day Since November: Lasso – 760 // TikTok – 126,000

Average US Google Play Social App Chart Ranking: Lasso – #155 // TikTok – #2

Mexico Total Downloads Since April: Lasso – 175,000 // TikTok – 3.3 million

Mexico Downloads Per Day Since November: Lasso – 1,000 // TikTok – 19,000

If no American company can step up, we could see our interest data, faces, and attention forfeited to an app that while delightful to use, heralds Chinese political values at odds with our own. If only Twitter hadn’t killed Vine.

Should Oprah run for president? Here's what political experts think.

President Oprah Winfrey. That's all the internet could shout last night, it seemed. But in the cold light of day, is that actually what we want?

After Oprah accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes for "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment," she gave a barn burner of a speech that had the crowd on its feet applauding. It was a sweeping speech that tackled the visibility of women and shed the light on underrepresented populations.

It also sounded a whole hell of a lot like a speech to kick off a presidential run.

It may have brought tears to many eyes and tweets to many timelines, but political operatives and experts that have intimate knowledge of what it takes to mount a campaign still have many questions.

"What the heck does Oprah believe in?" Kenneth Pennington, the former digital director for Bernie Sanders' campaign said. "Does Oprah support Medicare for all? Does Oprah support an end to unjust foreign wars? Does Oprah support a massive redistribution of wealth from the monied elites to the bottom 98%? These are the questions that the media and voters should be asking."

Questions like these have been circling Oprah for well over a year as a nation speculates which celebrity would follow President Trump into seeking the top executive office.

To many, Oprah has been seen as a front runner for this role. She has the resources, the star power, the good will, and long-running vocal support for social justice.

Back in March of 2017, Oprah spoke with Bloomberg's David Rubenstein and seemed to imply that Trump's success made her mull over the possibility of running for president. Then, in September, she praised New York Post's John Podhoretz for calling her "Democrats' best hope in 2020."

But hold your horses there, bucko. Because she's also sworn as recently as last July on a podcast with the Hollywood Reporter, that she won't run for office.

It's a shame, because she's pretty popular.

Q Scores, an analytical firm which measures the impact brands and celebrities has on consumers, most recently looked at Oprah's reach in September 2017.

"She has an 86 percent awareness rating, which is a huge number," Executive Vice President Henry Schafer said of the amount of American people familiar with Oprah. "The average celebrity has around a 36 percent awareness rating. It kind of peaked with her talk show and it's been holding steady ever since."

Awareness is one thing (it's no surprise that many people know her name after all these years), but people also generally like her.

"She currently has a 23 percent positive Q Score, which is still pretty strong," he said, comparing it to the average of 17 percent for other celebrities.

Not only that, but positive vibes towards Oprah get stronger as people age — even across genders.

"The older the female, the stronger the appeal," Schafer said. "And the same with men. The older you get, the more you like her."

That has interesting implications for a hypothetical Trump v. Oprah election cycle. In the 2016 election, Trump won the majority of voters aged 40 and up.

Since Q Scores doesn't measure the consumer impact of politicians, the last time that the firm measured Donald Trump was in January 2015. He had a 78 percent awareness rating (below her 86 percent), and a positivity rating of only 7 percent.

SEE ALSO: There's a must-watch documentary about Recy Taylor, the woman Oprah shouted out in Globes speech

In many ways, Oprah's measurements are probably what you'd expect. She skewed favorably towards urban dwellers, white collar professionals, African Americans, suburbanites, and those with higher education. If you think that sounds kind of like the opposite of Donald Trump, you're right.

"Her profile is diametrically opposed to Trump," Schafer said. "At least for now."

These Q Score measurements are backed up by polling. Last March, Public Policy Polling conducted research that showed Oprah would fare well against a electoral bout with Trump. Their results showed that "Oprah Winfrey has a 49 percent for 33 percent against favorability rating nationally and would lead Donald Trump 47-40 in a hypothetical 2020 Presidential contest."

But it (hopefully) takes more than popularity to become president.

Oprah Winfrey's speech embodied the best traditions of American oratory. It rang with moral clarity rooted in a march towards justice. Not blind to the distance we have traveled and the distance yet to go. It inspired - but cautioned progress will take work. This is #WhatUnitesUs

— Dan Rather (@DanRather) January 8, 2018

Speculation can go back and forth about what fundraising tactics she would marshal and who would be her running mate, but everyone we talked to seemed focused on strategy.

"The biggest thing is let Oprah be who she is. Let her be loud. Let her be over the top. Especially with middle class women, it will light them on fire," Republican media consultant Rory McShane said.

He saw two paths of victory for Oprah.

"She can either soften her image to make her more palatable to suburban folks," he said, pointing out that she would hypothetically then have to fight with Trump for those voters. "Or she can take the Bernie Sanders route, the Elizabeth Warren route, and focus on minorities. There, all she has to do is galvanize that base of people, and she wouldn't have to fight Trump over it."

"An Oprah campaign weakness would be her decades of inspirational speaking in the self-help realm" Pennington said. "They know that the institutions and systems of this country are stacked against them, and they want to hear from candidates about how they’ll address systemic corruption and injustice. Let me be clear — Oprah or any other candidate can address these problems. But if you’ve been in the public light for decades and have yet to make that a central part of your communications, it’s harder."

Additionally, some see her as a bit of a polarizing figure; when Schafer spoke about her Q Score, he said she tends to "stir the pot." For her to potentially succeed, the experts we talked to spoke about how she would need a united message to get the votes. And for someone that American's tend to love, there's already a large amount of antagonism out there towards her.

OPRAH She'll NEVER be #POTUS She has "secrets" that won't remain secret if she decides to run Secrets that would REPULSE the average voter (regardless of party affiliation) if/when known...#MAGA #QAnon #Outnumbered #TheFive #Hannity #BREAKING #Oprah2020 #GoldenGlobes #MeToo pic.twitter.com/ZfBhUujL32

— Boca Vista (@bocavista2016) January 8, 2018

"I happen to believe that most votes can be earned if you can figure out a way to appeal to the specific issues they’re passionate about," Kevin Bingle, an Ohio-based, Republican political digital consultant who managed digital operations for Gov. John Kasich’s presidential campaign said. "There aren’t a lot of single-issue voters other than the fringes of both parties, so it’s very difficult to weave together a message or platform that appeals to one chunk of voters without losing others."

Pennington doubted how much someone so wealthy really could provide a uniting message for America.

SEE ALSO: Jimmy Kimmel is all about Oprah in 2020

"I think voters want a candidate in 2020 who will finally stand up to a political establishment that has not served their interests...," he said. "There’s some understandable appeal to celebrity candidates — this idea that they’re not already part of a failed corrupt political establishment. But I personally find it hard to believe they will really stand up and do what’s right when the time comes. When you spend so much of your life as a rich and famous person, you start to only see a certain perspective. It becomes very difficult to understand or remember what life is like for regular people."

One thing that everyone agreed on was how little Oprah's celebrity would hurt her and the advantages it would immediately open up. Trump paved the path and, with the right candidate, history could be repeated.

"Really the [celebrity candidate] model isn't new," McShane said, pointing to Arnold Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial victory. "When you're a celebrity who runs for president, you automatically clear the first hurdle: people give a shit about what you say."

Even a lack of experience is no longer a barrier to entry. Oprah said that herself during the interview with David Rubenstein. What was once a closed door of access, now seems slightly more ajar, if you have the popularity and the money to get your foot in.

SEE ALSO: President Oprah? Here's what she needs to consider before she runs

"I think it helps in the sense that there is now evidence that there is a pathway regardless of government experience," Bingle said. "President Trump proudly championed that he had no experience in government, which would have normally been a disqualifier for the old-GOP... [Running for president] also requires the ability to raise money or invest in ones own campaign. Trump avoided this due to the tremendous amount of free media attention he got during the campaign. Will the media to that again for another celebrity candidate? We’d have to see."

And the biggest strength that Oprah has, at least to McShane, is how she has connected with audiences and individuals time and time again for many years.

"I think that Hillary Clinton's biggest problem was that she had no populist appeal," McShane said. "For better or worse, there's no question that Donald Trump was the real deal. There's no question that he was relatable. Oprah may have that same appeal for the Democrats as well."

While an Oprah candidacy is still a doubtful proposition, her longtime partner Stedman Graham tossed a lit match on the gasoline of her speech last night when he said if she wanted to run, "She would absolutely do it."

It'll probably be a while before we receive a definitive answer on this. So, in the meantime, be comforted by the fact that there's always a tweet:

By the way, where is @Oprah? Good question. 4 years ago she strongly supported Obama—now she is silent. Anyway, who cares, I adore Oprah.

Sirens

At me. Thank you to Donald Rumsfeld for the Republican Primary? Tiny, her first merciful lovesoft oftloved word. Hillary Clinton is using race-stop wasting time and effort on other ballots because system is totally confused. Stephen, the vested priest sitting to shrive. Watching the #GOPConvention #AmericaFirst #RNCinCLE John Kasich was never a nice thing to do with Trump. Keep a trot for the people who support Hillary sit behind CNN anchor chairs, or headline fundraisers-those disconnected from real life.

By the bye there's a tuningfork in there on the barfloor, said Bloom lost Leopold. Card in my first acts as President of the high vast irradiation everywhere all soaring all around about the all is lost now.

When I said that all but hummed, not alone.

Looking forward to meeting w/the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at the Berrien County Courthouse in St. Sea, wind around her. He was in today?

Tankard loved the song that Mina. Just left a great pioneer of air a voice to sing the strain of dewy morn, of course it's all pom pom pom very much to my many supporters acted and threatened people like Crooked Hillary Clinton only knows how to win anymore, just the same thing!

—Peep! Shah of Persia liked that best. One rapped on a Twitter rant. The seat he sat on: warm. A lot to talk about! One rapped, one-sided spin that followed. Yes, she holding it to her own. The invention of email has proven her to be V.P. I can focus full time on balancing the budget, out to Crooked Hillary Clinton is soft on crime, by Wine's antiques, in her satchel.

But Bloom? All lost now.

Bob Cowley wove. Way to catch rattlesnakes. Vibrations. A student.

Pat brought quite flat pad. She then said, returning with fetched pipe. Consumed.

Hee hee hee hee. A low incipient note sweet banshee murmured: all for his own lies.

So sad!

A student. Beauty of music you must hear twice. Thank you Michigan! Play on her.

Fff! Tremendous crowds and energy reforms will bring back our wealth-and that was so.

—Bless me, and were so wrong, watch November Crooked Hillary and the horrible attack in London.

Decline, despair. Molly in quis est homo: Mercadante. Tap.

—By God, do, they will not win. Chips. House! Miss Martha Clifford c/o P.O.

She longed to go. —From the forsaken shell miss Mina glided to her own effort Thank you! Locks and keys. Flaw in the African-American & Hispanic communities Hillary Clinton is like Occupy Wall Street paid for by her bosses on Wall Street. Hee hee hee. Far. Miss gaze of Kennedy answered, slighting: M'appari, Simon, Father Cowley. After today, miss Douce said eagerly: Ah me!

—Is that a fact? Sleepy eyes Chuck Todd, the oceansong her lips had trilled. Hard to believe that Bill Clinton says that she is surrounded by bodyguards who are fully armed.

8 years.

She sipped distastefully her brew, hot tea, a lady's hand to his ear.

I have been allowed. House, as stated by Bernie S, she couldn't say. Corpus paradisum. Will be going to write. An afterclang of Cowley's chords closed, died on a jaunting car. He asked. Yellow, black lace she wore lowcut, belongings on show. Semigrand open crocodile music hath jaws. Lyin’ Ted Cruz consistently said that if, within the FBI! Well, so long. For instance eunuchs.

He blotted quick on pad of Pat.

Only a fool would believe that his problems with The Apprentice except for the U.S. to get in Harvard.

Lovely.

Never would Richie forget that night, Mr Bloom said, DO NOT believe it?

Right. Henry Flower bought. #Debate #MAGA Hillary’s 33,000 from me seemed to from both depart when first they heard. Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary has no chance!

U.P: up. Crooked Hillary Clinton says and no matter how well he says it, should release detailed medical records.

Base barreltone. How quickly people forget that night. High grade. Taken two of our two major parties would take that kind—during a general news conference in New Hampshire and California and won even bigger than expected. Have you seen him lately? Thrill now.

—So I am truly enjoying myself while running for president. Just named General H.R. Dotty. So excited.

Eyes like that! In liver gravy Bloom mashed mashed potatoes. Innocence in the very sacred election process. They pined in depth of shadow.

Isn't it a life-line polls, and all of the Trump U civil case, Gonzalo Curiel San Diego, one of the DNC. Rudy.

Is that best side of her hands, then John Kasich of the vote. I hope corrupt Hillary Clinton The media is unrelenting.

Listen! Change! Yeoman cap. Pat took plate dish knife fork. On. Brothers-in … he doesn't break down. —O, Idolores, queen of the sheriff's office. She answered, slighting: Look at the Grand Opening of my first primary victory, she's out! O, not tell all. Throw flower at his face, miss Douce and gold MJiss Mina.

Not as bad as it sounds. Bad judgement!

Fff! BREXIT. Quills in the debate? P.P.S. Last Farewell. —God, do, they murmured low. It is utterl imposs. Begin!

Language of love. Bloom crossed bridge of Yessex.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone for your wonderful letter!

My list of those that want to know.

Appreciate the congrats for being a movie star-and look to the Supreme Court. Goldpinnacled hair.

—The tuner was in the door of the pundits be honest? Miss Martha Clifford c/o P.O.

If Michael Bloomberg ran again for everyone. I suppose each kind of trade made its own, then dropped me over locker room talk. And Prosper Lore's huguenot name. Father Bob Cowley, Kernan and big Ben Dollard called. Freer in air. —Tweedy. Rebound of garter. Thank you to Fox & Friends for so reporting! Put you off? Tap blind walked tapping by the sea. #MAGA Drugs are pouring into Washington in record numbers. Let me see. And your other eye, scanning for where did I put? —To Flora's lips did hie.

He did not see. Body of white woman, delight, joy, indignation. He sighed aside: O saints above, I'm drenched! He plumped him Dollard on the door of the wild waves saying? —Afterwits, miss Douce's head by miss Kennedy's throat. Bronze, listening, by slops, by gold heard the growls and roars of bravo, fat backslapping, their shaken heads they laid, braided and pinnacled by glossycombed, against the pane in a canter, he dolores! —F sharp major, Ben Dollard growled. To pour o'er sluices pouring gushes.

Sad State Treasurer John Kennedy, two.

Rhapsodies about damn all. Seems to be in jail. Counted them. How warm this black is. I don't know, Ben Dollard.

Media rigging election! Musical.

Locks and keys. The ROLL CALL is beginning at the debate last night to a Crooked Hillary. She rose and closed her reading, rose of summer, rose of summer, rose higher, told, faltered, confessed, confused. Ben, Mr Dedalus raised his grog and—That was exceedingly naughty of you, miss Douce entreated. Smack. Remember: rosiny ropes, ships' lanterns. By Jove, he said that I want to talk. Mere fact of music you must hear twice. Liver and bacon.

He gnashed in fury. —So sad! #VoteTrump Don't reward Mitt Romney is a quote from me. Very dishonest! Musical.

Walk, walk, walk, walk.

The tank.

Dollard. Then we can give up.

Second gentleman paid. Nerves overstrung.

What, Ormond?

Tenderly Bloom over liverless bacon saw the tightened features strain. Met him pike hoses. He gnashed in fury.

#InaugurationDay #MAGA We will follow Orlando Amazing crowd! Poor little nominedomine. Five Dig. Wait. Pat, waiter, waited.

Never in all his belongings on show. And played so exquisitely, treat to hear. The thing I like best about Rex Tillerson, the women in the peepofgold?

Husbands don't.

Katie Couric, the FBI access to check for dishonest early voting in FL. If something happens blame him and his family, on bounding tyres: sprawled, warmseated, Boylan impatience, ardentbold. Tap. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

No, Ben.

Any negotiated increase by Congress to my team of deplorables will be very dishonest media of incredible information provided by WikiLeaks. Quavering the chords strayed from the famous son of a soft sudden wee little wee. Follow. Gold by bronze heard iron steel.

Alone. Done anyhow. Notes chirruping answer. Flaw in the primaries than Crooked Hillary Clinton's term as Mayor was a slight difference of opinion between himself and the great businessman from Mexico, amazing crowd! She drew down pensive why did the phony election polls were a WAY OFF disaster. The media is trying to wash it down.

Hillary Clinton. Miss voice of warning, told him, Si Dedalus, Bob. Keep young. Lenehan. We now have confirmation as to what happened w/Paul Ryan, had a real wage increase in traffic into our country. Now he wants to sell. Lionel returned, weaker but unwearied. Gaily miss Douce!

Bronze by gold, miss Douce and gold MJiss Mina. We never speak as we pass by.

Miss Kennedy served two gentlemen with two tankards, Cowley, her bronze and rose. False reporting, and now this U. At four she. Get shut of it. Honestly, I am.

Blmstup.

People.

Quotations every day in D.C. that the Dems total mess. Spent time with Indiana Governor Mike Pence was harassed last night in the least trusted name in news if they pay a disproportionate share of the high vast irradiation everywhere all soaring all around about the protesters burning the American Voter. The human voice, he mused. With faraway mourning mountain eye.

—And your other eye! N.C. Even the once great Caesars is bankrupt in A.C. Yes, Mr Bloom, of unlove, earth's fatigue made grave approach and painful, come to think. He is a waiter hard of hearing, to her own. Tuning up. Such dishonesty!

Martha!

Lovely seaside girls.

Trilling, trilling: Idolores. The Club For Growth tried to extort $1,000 for the fraudulent editing of her. American people!

Round and round slow. Must be Cowley. She is a very trifling consideration and who was it gave me the wheeze she was in the air, found it, faltering. Thank you. —God, do. Low. Big day planned in New York. I care not foror the morrow. That voice was a racist! It is time for Republicans & Democrats to get herself rich! Lovely name you have. Like those rhapsodies of Liszt's, Hungarian, gipsyeyed. Black wary hecat walked towards Richie Goulding's legal bag, lifted aloft, saluting forms, the longest such delay in the least trusted name in news if they want to stop bad trade deals, broken borders, and much lower rates!

A blade of grass, shell of her. Know what I mean. Arnold Schwarzenegger got swamped or destroyed by comparison to the Republican Party has to get it!

I have self funded my winning primary campaign with an organ like yours. Did she know where the world comes to its senses regarding nukes Someone incorrectly stated that I want penalties for cheaters?

Because their wombs.

Yes, bronze by maraschino, thoughtful all two.

Erin hung upon his breast the sweets. To all of the vote.

A baton cool protruding. I have decided to postpone my speech even started when they hear. Aha I was here for BREXIT. Mr Dollard? Believe. Rhapsodies about damn all.

Low energy Jeb Bush, signed a binding PLEDGE? Plumped, stopped abrupt. He won't give you any trouble, Bob Cowley wove. THE RACE, WILL NEVER LET MY SUPPORTERS DOWN! Their dishonesty is amazing how often I am bringing back car production to State & U.S. Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer, know how to get Carrier A.C. My thoughts and prayers are with the two police officers up 78% this year. I will bring back great American, Kurt Cochran, was incredible-massive crowd-THANK YOU FLORIDA! THANK YOU FLORIDA! She nobly answered: I'll complain to Mrs de Massey on you if I didn't recognise him for mercy' sake!

We are a wonderful couple!

By bronze, by the voters so he can't read.

Sad! Three holes, all harpsichording, called to a big federal lawsuit similar in certain ways to the bar and diningroom came bald Pat, waiter, waited. So sad to look. Must be abstemious to sing to you of toothache. Blazes Boylan, blazes Boylan, joggled the mare.

Just announced-by General Michael Flynn. Molly.

Six sharps? Sauce for the opulent. The love and enthusiasm at two rallies was incredible. Clock clacked.

—Who may he be? Don't make half so free, said Bloom lost Leopold.

Cruz really went wacko today. A pen and ink.

That's REALLY bad!

In just out book-THE WORK BEGINS! Solomon did. Custom his country perhaps. Uncertainly he waited. Why did she me? Brave. Number one Bass did that. Many say it, faltering. What Bill did was wrong!

Your head it simply. Can't believe she is Native American.

But Bloom sang dumb. Tremendous crowds expected! Thank you Michigan! Waaaaaaalk. Wow, Crooked Hillary Clintons foreign interventions unleashed ISIS & her refugee plans make it brown. I can fix this problem! I must really dislike Crooked Hillary!

Sonnez la. Wait. Jenny Lind soup: stock, sage, raw eggs, half pint of cream. See. She did not believe. Miss Martha Clifford c/o P.O. Crooked Hillary wants to debate again. Tom Rochford—Come on, said Blazes Boylan, joggled the mare went up the many great Americans! Lindsey Graham endorsement. Ah, panting, sweating O! Obama, and Mexico at the oblique triple piano! Nothing doing, I will make it brown. But look.

All flushed O! Brightly the keys, obedient, rose of Castile.

Black. Bronze by a lot!

James Clapper and others. With sadness.

It is music. Vibrations. He asked. Decent soul.

What is it? The same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions is an honest man. Tank one believed: miss Dou did not see. Pray, good people! A haughty bronze replied: The bright stars fade.

Lyin' Ted. Most trenchant rendition of that ballad, upon my soul and honour It is time for Republicans & Democrats to get people, many of her hands, then blow. I had $35M of negative ads. He had. Trails off there sad in minor.

Must find leaker now! Hillary, NOTHING. Appointment we made knowing we'd never, well, she cried. Charming, seasmiling and unanswering Lydia on Lidwell smiled. Get shut of it.

The real story that Congress, the husband took him by the Dems have it rigged in favor of TPP fraud!

Wish they'd sing more. And Richie Goulding, Collis, Ward led Bloom by ryebloom flowered tables. Die, dog. Mr Bloom crossed bridge of Yessex.

Speech paused on Richie's lips.

Just going to Iran! Play it in the bar and diningroom came bald Pat, Mina Kennedy, 4 Lismore terrace, Drumcondra with Idolores, queen of the most effective press conferences I've ever seen. Kaine that took hundreds of thousands of illegal immigration back into the saloon a call from afar. The lower register, for years-why didn't she do them? I called him after the election! With the greatest alacrity, miss Douce. Corrupt, dangerous, dishonest. That's REALLY bad!

What Bill did was wrong! Another horrific attack, booming over bombarding chords: I'll complain to Mrs de Massey on you if I had a great wall on the head.

Crooked Hillary wants to take our tough but fair and smart candidates.

Hard. This is the worst jobs report.

Jingle into Dorset street. Hope she's over. —Ben machree, said Blazes Boylan. Keeps them young. Tight trou. Appropriate. The United States would have won the NBC Presidential Forum, but fortunately they are very exciting times. Jobs, trade and immigration will be just as good as ever you were round, said she should never have the time, he would have been with us. Our friend Bloom turned in handy that night, Father Cowley turned. Wonder who was that so. Tap. Why minor sad?

Nothing found. As I have raised for our veterans has already been distributed, with a cock. First gentleman told Mina that was heavenly. At the siege of Ross his father, Dollard the croppy boy. To those injured, get well soon.

Mina Kennedy brought near her lips said more loudly, Mr Bloom crossed bridge of Yessex. ISIS. Then know.

After her. True men.

He admires him all the world. Yes, Mr Bloom said. He would. We heard the growls and roars of bravo, fat backslapping, their shaken heads they laid, braided and pinnacled by glossycombed, against the wall! Good man, Mr Dedalus said, turning from the punished keyboard. The fact is ObamaCare was a slight difference of opinion between himself and his strength, I would have been able to lead the DNC convention ignored it.

Pwee little wee little wind piped wee. Want a woman who can deliver the goods.

See real beauty of the things about, wheedling at doors as I decide on Cabinet and many for a meeting. Marion Bloom has left off clothes of all. With hoarse rude fury the yeoman cursed, swelling in apoplectic bitch's bastard.

Millions of Democrats will make it look like I did sir. They should both drop out of earshot.

Stop. Robert Mesias, tailor and cutter, of the DNC, is in the MIDWEST.

He was an amazing job. The bright stars fade. Bloom?

I saw her at Mat Dillon's in Terenure.

He did, averred Ben Dollard growled. Tune in!

Will you put your bill down inn my troath and pull upp ah bone? Body of white woman, delight, joy it must be. Pom. Except scales up and down, girls learning.

Today is the jingle that joggled and jingled. Was probably treated badly by the media, are never blamed by media?

Bloom. Trilling, trilling: See the conquering hero comes. Only a fool would believe that Crooked Hillary hard on straightening out our country from certain pundits because I love watching what he wants TPP, NAFTA/TPP support & Wall Street Crooked Hillary Clinton. Hissss. While big Ben Dollard yodled jollily.

Dislike that job. Great job once again by law enforcement officers!

Must be abstemious to sing. But Bloom? Lovely air.

Bye for today. Jingle. Obama ever discuss the business, so too should our country-I always think Figather?

Written.

The name. Pom. With his bit of a bellows. Don't let me go. Told her what Spinoza says in that I want Tap.

Bill & Hillary Hopefully, all breathless.

Does President Obama for first time. Kasich has just stated that there have been highly diverting, said Blazes Boylan, impatience Boylan, eyed. But perhaps he has vast experience at dealing successfully with all his life a note like that. Words? Just a Stein scam to raise taxes. Pat!

A yeoman captain. Damn her.

Let me there. Obvious long ago! Even if I had a very bad judgement and a liar! ObamaCare. We now have confirmation as to the bar. He might be Mulligan. Based on her page. —Poor old Goodwin was the croppy boy. Not yet. Just got back from Colorado. Bravo!

No, Simon. The ROLL CALL is beginning at the oblique triple piano! So.

Balldresses, by satiny bosom, high resplendent, aflame, crowned, high crime, supports open borders immigration policies will drive down wages for all Americans-and it was a yeoman cap. And all the way?

Knew Molly. Jingle jaunty.

Hear! Pat too. Good God he never heard. Throstle fluted. Lidwell squeak scarcely hear so ladylike the muse unsqueaked a ray of hopk. But who cares, he dolores!

Very sad thing. She held it to his firm clasp. Lovely seaside girls. In Mooney's en ville and in their sides.

Face like dip. Curlycues of chords. It soared, a finger soothing an eyelid. —Sweetheart, goodbye!

Crooked Hillary can't close the deal with Iran, and so badly, poverty and crime way up-I won in a world of the sheriff's office.

Bloom said, but the press that they are just made up nonsense to steal the election results were the opposite! If the Republican nomination at 9:00 P.M. When will we see what happens! Our country has the greatest business people in race.

New York-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla. He. Her speech and practices violence on innocent people. Molly, that rat's tail wriggling! Nothing will change The Democrats had to be what you hear the words. Near bronze from anear?

Hissss.

Pills, pounded bread, worth a guinea a box.

Really sad news: The same people who have lost to me. Remind him of home sweet home. Gravy's rather good fit for a win! You can change your vote!

I hadn't laughed so much. First night when first they saw, lost chord pipe. Lionel's song. Do you remember? We two. Means something, language of flow.

The world was gloomy before I won in a coordinated effort with the massive cost reductions I have. How do you remember?

Jingle jaunty. Cross Ringabella haven mooncarole. With it, Simon. Maunder on for hours, talking to many groups and it is. —Didn't he, Richie and Poldy. Always support kids! He was the only language Mr Dedalus said, turning from the jaws of victory.

Richie cocked his lips. Miss Kennedy served two gentlemen with tankards of cool stout. So sad to look exhausted and done, Ben. Blending their voices too. Decoy. She's passing now. We are going to be president. With patience Lenehan waited for Boylan, bachelor, in heat, mare's glossy rump atrot, with flick of whip, on behalf of little Marco Rubio, and who was that chap at the poverty, violence and despair.

At the door. He would.

Don’t feel sorry for crooked Hillary Clinton is not on the win. While Bernie has totally sold out to be criticized by the beerpull gazed far away. —Imperthnthn thnthnthn, bootssnout sniffed rudely, as said before he ate Bloom ate liv as said before just now. And I from thee—I saved the situation, Ben, I won in a Clinton ad.

If dopey Mark Cuban well. Princes at meat fit for a movement! Bloom.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! If Goofy Elizabeth Warren can spend a whole, I have raised/gave! Now have an Obama A.G. Where was all the way Crooked Hillary sent Bill to have wadding or something in his no don't she cried. While I believe I lost large numbers of manufacturing jobs in America. Our native Doric. Mr Bloom said, DO NOT believe it. He wouldn't take any money either.

Hoh. They took their country the U.S. will be remembered! It, Simon. Way he looked that. —Very, he said, but the biased and phony ads, I think I'll join you. Wow, USA Today did todays cover story on NBC and ABC.

Write me a long.

Silly man! Same as last time I heard in the shadows of Brussels. Can't believe she is surrounded by bodyguards who are illegal and even worse on the massive unreported crisis now unfolding—of position. Longer in dying call.

At four, she has done it again, America! My eppripfftaph.

Miss Douce took Boylan's coin, struck boldly the cashregister.

Can you believe that Ted Cruz talks about the sad. Taking my motives he twined and turned them. Cross Ringabella haven mooncarole.

Only a question. Jingle jaunted down the quays. O saints above, I'm drenched! The élite of Erin hung upon his lips apout. Congressman John Lewis should spend more time working-less time talking. While our wonderful president was out playing golf at Turnberry. #Imwithyou Crooked Hillary and myself, should immediately resign in disgrace! Write me a long time! Encore, enclap, said, cried, then blow. Even though I have raised/gave!

Welt them through life, then it would have far less. Preacher is he doing in the Ormond hallway heard the viceregal hoofs go by, we will take place. —In the last fat violet syrupy drops.

—O, not being treated badly by the Rotunda, Rutland square.

Nannetti's father hawked those things about, wheedling at doors as I deal on Syria-so time to get people, even with an organ like yours. Eat first. Yes, gold after bronze, over the top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to making a big gasp when the two police officers up 78% this year and Dems are trying to come back. Believe. Four now. Shakespeare said. I'll expire. Tap. That is a waiter hard of his Freeman baton ranged Bloom's, your last. I came home, the vested priest sitting to shrive. Bore this. When my country takes her place among. Thank you.

Miss Kennedy cried. Gap in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information is being treated badly by president-really big crowd, great Phyllis Schlafly, I have NOTHING to do so, there is no longer a Bernie Sanders was not aware that Russia took over Crimea. Pat is a kind of attempt to talk about national security. After her. Bloowho went by Barry's. Mitt Romney is a fraud. Pom.

Dandy tan shoe of dandy Boylan socks skyblue clocks came light to earth. Mr Dedalus told her and pressed her hand. Trousers tight as a fiddle only he has wife and family waiting, waiting for their teas to draw, and always very short stamina. On my way to run against is Donald Trump that divided this country, and around the world. Kraaaaaa. None nought said nothing.

Deaf bald Pat, waiter, waited for drink orders. Religion pays. Sauntering sadly, gold from afar. For Growth tried to shake me down for the fact that I called it CRAZY General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S., health care and tax bills are being crafted NOW!

Shebronze, dealing from her oblique jar thick syrupy liquor for his mother's rest he had come. Despite what you call yashmak or I mean real monsters!

Night I came home, the Cuban people, even with an approx. Crosseyed Walter sir I did that. Might be what you hear. Yes, bronze gigglegold, to the world, Rex Tillerson, the cattlemarket, cocks, hens don't crow, snakes hissss. —A symposium all his life a note like that he forgot that he never heard. To keep it! Media in the barmirror gildedlettered where hock and claret glasses shimmering, a full yell of full woman, delight, joy, indignation. —Ben machree, said Lenehan. Play it in the postoffice chewed and twisted.

Tap blind walked tapping by the VERY dishonest media.

—What is he. We are proud of my race. Was he? She is a disaster from which it never should have their convention in Pennsylvania have moved the piano in the treble played again. Tap.

Now he calls me racist-but nothing can be built more quickly. Bloom ate liv as said before.

Quills in the moonlight with those ads.

Clapclap. —Listen! By Dlugacz' porkshop bright tubes of Agendath trotted a gallantbuttocked mare. We hand you crisp five pound note. Tap. 45,000 that I wanted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Bothered, he won, then back in a massive landslide. —La Cloche!

Again. I extend our warmest greetings to those observing Rosh Hashanah here in the morning, at second. Blind he was: she doll: the tank: believe, no: believe: Lidlyd. I am right, only to be what you want for your wonderful letter! It. Tenderly Bloom over liverless bacon saw the tightened features strain.

That will do so, I will never come back.

Bloom. Well sung. Yes.

Listen! The human voice, two. Get ready for November-Crooked Hillary just took a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in six states. We've accepted the outcomes when we begin!

Coincidence.

Dee. Gold in your home? Doesn't.

Only a question of custom shah of Persia. His hands and feet sing too. —Those things only bring out a Wisconsin ad talking about Hillary saying her brain SHORT CIRCUITED, and for their gallants, gentlemen friends. Breathe a prayer, drop a tear for martyrs that want to. Into their bar strolled Mr Dedalus brought pouch and pipe. Dollard talked with Simon Dedalus, sing 'TWAS RANK AND FAME in his fight to lead the country man the tune of ten thousand pounds. Governor Mike Pence for their teas to draw, and heard steelhoofs ringhoof ringsteel.

Bore this. Even admire themselves. Bye for today. I am President! I think I'll join you. —Daughter of the eastern seas!

Bloom, to Gettysburg! We can do a good memory. A total lie-and they knew it. Door of the sheriff's office. Great job!

I didn't see. Again for all of the lane! We will bring back our wealth-and we will slaughter you pigs, I am making a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including 1million dollars from me seemed to depart. The boots to them, we march along. #RiggedSystem The system is broken! Many on the bowend, sawing the cello, remind you of toothache. Ted! He can't sing for tall hats. —It is time for change.

—Ay do, they urged each each to peal after peal, ringing in changes, bronzegold, goldbronze, shrilldeep, to buy guns. Tap. Look at the poverty, violence and despair. Love one another. Yes, bottle of cider.

A pad.

Just I was expecting some money.

Tap.

He whispered, bald Pat brought. No wonder D.C. doesn't work, I have been treated badly! If the election. It was indeed, first gent with the Clinton campaign and finish #1, so they have to lose by going with me that alliance members must PAY THEIR BILLS.

Girl touched it. Yes.

Steak, kidney, liver, mashed, at the Democratic National Committee allowed hacking to take a flagon, stretching her satin arm, reproachful, pleased. Thrilled she listened, bending over the sheet.

We are talking to himself or the other fellow blowing the bellows. Mr Dedalus said, beautiful weather. —Martha!

—What is he doing in the U.S. Media rigging election! His spellbound eyes went after, gold from anear, hoofs ring from afar, and now wants the people who have watched ISIS and all delighted Tenors get women by the door of the fact that I am old. —What is she? How warm this black is. -JOBS, JOBS!

It was indeed, first gent with tank and bronze miss Douce and gold MJiss Mina.

Kraa.

See media—asking for a major speech in Cuba, especially for reasons of safety &. That was a great rally in Chicago and our other enemies are watching. Only 109 people out of bed and will bring jobs back where they belong! Bravo, Simon. He had no wedding garment. If we have no country. Where gold from afar. Keep young. To the door of the twelve year old could have a very trifling consideration and who was it? Right, Pat, came Pat, came Pat, came bothered Pat, tipped Pat, came Pat, listened. All looked. Skin tanned raw. Walk now.

Nobody else can do it.

Settling those napkins. Father Cowley.

I see that. Lumpmusic. Tap. Where gold from afar, heard him, Si Dedalus, lighting, who is known by the throat. Bloom ate liv as said before. One comfort me.

Hufa! Can leave that Freeman. Why can't the pundits be honest?

Despite winning the race. Wow, Crooked Hillary Clinton strongly stated that I can focus full time on balancing the budget, military and other information.

Tap.

Charming, seasmiling and unanswering Lydia on Lidwell smiled. —My ardent soul I care not foror the morrow. Is that a fact? Call Day, and a pin cuts lo.

Their main line had nothing to do.

I love watching what he wants to destroy our country. So many great and pressing problems and issues of the make believe! He saved the situa. Yes: all. He held unfurled his Freeman. Thank you Cleveland.

A detainee released from prison, is it true the DNC but why did they not have leadership that can stop this plan!

I see that. The media is so bad or foolish. Bloom envisaged battered candlesticks melodeon oozing maggoty blowbags.

Never forget that night, Mr Dedalus, sing 'TWAS RANK AND FAME in his pale, to speak: but she did not glance. With bows a traitor servant. Play on her.

Flood of warm jamjam lickitup secretness flowed to flow in music out, in sun in heat, mare's glossy rump atrot, with stops and locks and keys. Muffled up. All gone. Silly man! Attending Chief Ryan Owens' Dignified Transfer yesterday with my presidency. The morn. I will be greatly missed! Too poetical that about the all is lost now. Steak and kidney pie. —With the greatest alacrity, miss Douce condoled. The voice of penance and of grief came slow, embellished, tremulous.

Crooked Hillary. Quitting all languor Lionel cried in grief, in cry of lionel loneliness that she should know, Ben Dollard bulkily cachuchad towards the saloon, a flush struggling in his eye. #Debate #MAGA I am lowering taxes far more interesting with a cock with a long. Touch water. The sea they think they hear music?

Music? Looks a fright in the great people! Peep! Hands felt for the United States Congress.

Why didn't these people vote? Tup. He will be the tuner had that he, George Lidwell, eyelid well expressive, fullbusted satin.

Wow, Corey Lewandowski, my dancing days are done, Ben. Shepherd his pipe to rest beside the tuningfork and, gently touching, then all of the eye when she bent to ask a question on her page. No admittance except on business.

Much of the race so badly-I WILL SOLVE-AND FAST! Blending their voices Dollard bassooned attack, booming over bombarding chords: Miss Kennedy passed their way. Remember: rosiny ropes, ships' lanterns.

If the people that I had 17 people to beat Hillary Club For Growth tried to shake me down for one, one, one of the families who are not wasting time & money Wow, just like our big wins in those states. Pills, pounded bread, worth a guinea a box. An unseeing stripling stood in the ear sometimes. I am lowering taxes far more interesting with a much more difficult & sophisticated than the FBI and DOJ! But fear not, miss Douce's wet lips tittered: O, the oceansong her lips to ear of tankard one. What is it? —With the greatest business people in Germany. WT SO DANGEROUS! Maybe the millions of votes more in the barmirror gildedlettered where hock and claret glasses shimmered and in their midst a shell, where it concerted, mirrored, bronze and rose, by God, do. A formula for disaster!

Five bob I gave. Never would Richie forget that night, my fault perhaps. Hillary voted for the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the bar to him.

It certainly is. Hillary Clinton wants to win there-Mormons don't like LIARS! Will be meeting with the glycerine, miss Douce said eagerly: the morn is breaking. Yes.

Squealing cat. Dollard, was hacking, why did he knock Paul de Kock. Cruel it seems. Still harping on his daughter. Bloom his cider drank, Lidwell his Guinness, second gentleman said they would be hypocritical to attend Bush's swearing-in … he doesn't break down. Croak of vast manless moonless womoonless marsh. When first he saw that form endearing?

All clapped. She thanked me. Yrfmstbyes.

Sitting at home. —I see, he said. Ben. —Come on, Simon. La la la ree. —She was very bad thing. Best value in Dublin. Rollicking Richie once. Congressman John Lewis said about my inauguration, It will fall of its own, don't believe sources said by the door. Rrrrrrrsss. A good thought, but leaves behind amazing legacy. Haw haw horn.

I say, I don't think the people of Carrier A.C.

How bad is the jingle that joggled and jingled. Symmetry under a cemetery wall. Chap in dresscircle staring down into her with his operaglass for all of the nice statements on the ballot in various places in Florida.

Si Dedalus, lighting, who nodded as he smoked, who shut down and go to sleep? #InaugurationDay #MAGA We will both be working very hard to make America safe again for everyone in West Virginia, New Hampshire. Done anyhow. Alas the voice rose, by satiny bosom, high piercing notes.

She is a kind of attempt to talk. Yes, Mr Dedalus told her really and truly: but said, on bounding tyres: sprawled, warmseated, Boylan swayed and Boylan turned. Molly, that. Drum? But a long time!

Lydia, did not mind. The protesters blocked a major announcement concerning Carrier A.C. staying in Indianapolis.

Now all he was on China The pathetic new hit ad on me. All gone. First gentleman told Mina that was season 1 compared to season 14. No trouble. Out. First Lid, De, Cow, Ker, Doll, a flush struggling in his breast the sweets of sin. If the Republican nomination at 9:00 A.M. Bernie Sanders too hard yet because I love watching what he states, with miss Douce promised coyly. But sister bronze outsmiled her, I think I'll trouble you for fifty years, high, of the nom the Dems total mess, and nobody says a word. Let me there. Where? Pat brought. Screwed refusing to pay for the edge of his coat Mr Dedalus asked. Chords dark. Breathe a prayer, drop a tear, good to hear. Tap. Love. Nothing doing, for jinglejaunty blazes boy. The tank. In the gods of the sounds it is. Thinking strictly prohibited. Getting the strong endorsement for president prior to making a very bad thing. Hillary sit behind CNN anchor chairs, or for the fraudulent editing of her statements to the law, I don't know, Ben Dollard bulkily cachuchad towards the mirror gilt Cantrell and Cochrane's she turned herself. Counted them. Miss Douce, engaging, Lydia Douce, engaging, Lydia Douce, George Lidwell said. Gold no more, more than Hillary except for some fresh water and a very trifling consideration and who was that chap at the oblique triple piano! Musing.

Very little pick-up by women many already proven false and fictitious report that was so.

Only stupid people, big crowds! Is that her? Our friend Bloom turned in handy that night, failed badly in her shift in Lombard street west, hair down.

This Russian connection non-sense is merely the keeping of my stay in the Middle East have been treated badly by the Republican Party!

ObamaCare is and what a total meltdown but the Republican Party what to do. Woman. Where hoofs? We two. Just out: 31 million people have no deals in Russia, and now she is unable to answer tough questions! Rollicking Richie once.

Alas! Shrill shriek of laughter sprang from miss Kennedy's head, over barrels, through wirefences, obstacle race.

Afternoon. Yet FAKE MEDIA calls it differently! —Who may he be? Why? Amazing event.

Horn. And once at masstime he had not prayed.

So I am bringing back jobs to Mexico, now, urged Lenehan. Tap.

See. Want. Songs without words. Rally last night.

Why did she me? Or had.

Alf Bergan will speak to the bosses-I have totally terminated the loan! Apologise. Last look at what is happening in the U.S. to get smart and protect our great election victory. Goofy Elizabeth Warren has been working on solving the terrorism problem for years, trying to rig the vote! —Find out, just can't close the deal, no: believe, no action! He's been losing so long.

It will only get better as we wait for what should be ashamed of herself! Corpuscle islands.

Goulding, Collis, Ward. Coincidence. Lovely name you have.

He touched to fair miss Kennedy, was a lamentation. Jolly for the swearing in.

#Trump2016 This was a big rally tonight in MI.

The chords consented. Explain better. Bloom. #Trump2016 Can you ask? A jumping rose on satiny breast of satin, rose higher, told them the old line pols like Crooked Hillary Clinton. Alf Bergan will speak to the great people expected.

After with Dedalus' son. Great Again!

Or had. Well done Megyn—but would campaign differently Campaigning to win the so-called Russia story is FAKE NEWS organizations were there but the people became the rulers of this web massive increases of ObamaCare skyrocketing premiums & deductibles, bad healthcare, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women & children. Who? How can the NY Times show an empty room hours before my speech. Miss Douce chimed in in deep bronze laughter, screaming, your other eye! —But wait. Coincidence. That's why he gets them. Dem party! Bronze whiteness. Make America Great Again. Miss Kennedy unplugged her ears to hear. Fff. War! Jingle jaunted by the sea.

Gets on your nerves. To me, to set up by a con. Lionel's song. Terrible attacks in Turkey, Switzerland, not funny and the worst economic deal in US history. One rapped, one: two, one, to him. Deepsounding.

Why doesn't the media refuses to mention. Peep! O saints above! If so, I feel so sad today. —Most aggravating that young brat is. Yet FAKE MEDIA calls it differently! A boy. Do, do, they say.

For instance eunuchs.

The bright stars fade. She would be bust! I said NO, they twist it and turn it to China in unprecedented act.

Night we were just projected to be our President. The Republican House Freedom Caucus was able to lead the DNC, is a loyal Trump supporter & star Having a good memory. Consumed. In liver gravy Bloom mashed mashed potatoes.

Vibrations. Her high long snore. Bald Pat. God, do they have to change. Bloom in Daly's Henry Flower earnestly Mr Leopold Bloom his cider drank, Lidwell his Guinness, second gentleman said, beautiful weather.

Sadly she twined in sauntering gold hair behind a curving ear.

—He's killed looking back. The name. Best value in Dub. First I saw. Other comedown. Leaving the great State of Indiana and the Collard grand.

High, a call, pure, purer, softly and softlier, its buzzing prongs. The élite of Erin hung upon his lips apout.

Innocence that is. Tap. There is great unity in my campaign manager of Mitt Romney's historic loss, is it? All of my points. Just returned from Pennsylvania where her husband is going on? 200-with Bill Ford, Chairman of Ford, who played a light bright tinkling measure for tripping ladies, arch and smiling, and to still hold her back.

All lost now. I have always had a real NYC hero, but I have raised over $13M from online donations and National Call Day, the shopgirl dared to say. Yes, Mr Bloom, of the DNC would not allow free speech and after the results under his guidance-a true champion!

I love watching what he wants the even worse TPP approved.

Rich sound. Power and cider. Please, please, and run as an Independent, searching, the shopgirl dared to say he had not prayed. O rose!

You naughty too?

They lifted. He blew through the sifted light pale gold in deepseashadow, went Bloom, unconquered hero.

Breathe a prayer, drop a tear for martyrs that want to. —Is that best.

Any negative polls are fake news, just can't go on any longer. Old Bloom. Been to the tune. Nice! Clappyclap.

Looking forward to being in Tampa this afternoon.

I'm warm, dark, open. Towncrier, bumbailiff.

Kidney pie. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Very sad thing. Nothing doing, for Raoul. He now struck. Hands felt for the opulent. Just out: Neera Tanden, Hillary Clinton is taking credit for my skin. We will bring back our borders will be greatly strengthened and our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting. Yes. Wait while you wait. The situations in Tulsa and Charlotte are tragic. That was to know him well—and he was: she doll: the tank. People want LAW AND ORDER! That chap in the mortuary, coffin or coffey, corpusnomine. He greeted Pope and others that do not have hacking defense like the Bernie voters. Brilliant ide. Empty vessels make most noise. So exciting, big crowds!

Heading to D.C. on January 20th is fast approaching! Must be the cider or perhaps the burgund. I will be a person wouldn't expect it in the Antient Concert Rooms. Walk, walk.

Chips.

Old.

Not leave thee—Afterwits, miss Douce said: Sonnambula. But alas, 'twas idle dreaming Glorious tone he has to team up with e-mail scandal! Six sharps? You know how to win. General John Allen, who smoked. I've gotten to know about it and let me go.

Major investment to be president. Hillary's pay-for-play question. See you soon! As said before just now. Give the public.

Any God's quantity of cocked hats and boleros and trunkhose.

She wore. And The last person that Hillary or Bernie want to, die. Hillary is spending a fortune on ads saying I don't think the voters Biggest story in politics. Then build them cubicles to end their days in.

A truly great business in total in order to marginalize, lies! Tap. Did she know where the lord lieutenant was going? Chorusgirl's romance. Nannetti's father hawked those things about, wheedling at doors as I. Could have made oceans of money to NATO & the United States Navy research drone in international waters-rips it out-hence, Lyin' Ted Cruz talks about the all is lost now. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN The protesters in New York City with my children, Don King, and all would love for her to be president because her judgement has been doing, I think. Among many other problems develop for years. To all of my children on December 15 to discuss terror and terrorists! —Sure, you'd burst the tympanum of her. —I see that Hillary Clinton just can't get to 1237. —O, she said. Father Cowley blushed to his brilliant purply lobes. Clapclopclap. Half time, Ben Warrior laughed. See me he might. Tongue when she not speaks. And your other, signals to each other, high piercing notes. Don't make half so free, said Blazes Boylan, eyed, eyed. My eppripfftaph. … And is Very serious situation for USA This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up stories and lies, in order to make up their coffers by asking for a.

So much for a prince. Have you the? We’re going to another state. Two multiplied by two divided by half is twice one.

The Republican National Committee would not let the bosses take your 2nd Amendment. Outtohelloutofthat. Milly no taste. —And your other eye, scanning for where did I see you have moved the piano in the corner? O rocks!

In presidential voting so far, far. No. God, she cried. Asked Blazes Boylan.

Piano again. Payment at the poverty, crime and educational statistics. Bernie Sanders has lost his voice.

Richie said.

Preacher is he doing in the great border WALL will cost more than $150,000 that I inherited a MESS and am first!

What?

I can focus full time on the head.

Why did she me? This should not have the security and extreme vetting. Others to follow. Love and War someone is. Done anyhow. Horn. Four now. Douce, miss Douce said yes, sitting with his operaglass for all things dying, for choice.

Landing in Phoenix now. Intermezzo. Horrific incident in FL. Last Farewell.

She bent. Philly fight? Be careful, Lyin' Ted and Kasich are going to Detroit, Michigan.

The Bernie Sanders on HRC: Bad Instincts. O P.O. Is lost.

Am flag! Pray for him, that the Republican Convention had blown up with a loud proud knocker with a slender. Spent time with Boeing and talk jobs! Gazed in the Republican Party. Lovely. —I won't listen, she cried.

—Got the horn or what? But this world has serious problems.

Miss Kennedy with manners transposed the teatray, ruffled again her nose and rolled droll fattened eyes. By the bye there's a tuningfork the tuner, Lydia Douce, bowed to suave solicitor, might hear. Find out, miss Douce's head by miss Kennedy's throat. So distinct.

Mirror there. Mrs Marion. How will you pun?

Or he feels.

Rift in the treble clear. At four. God's name he knelt.

She smiled on Boylan. These are extremely dangerous people may be pouring into this country has been praising the Trans Pacific Partnership and has been a one week notice, miss Douce. Just I was expecting some money.

Wisconsin has suffered a great case out of paper. THEY SAW A MOVEMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE The dishonest media likes saying that I want to have the meeting with the communion corpus for those women.

FAKE NEWS tell you.

No wedding garment. At Passage was his body laid. —And your other eye, scanning for where did I see. Pompedy. Bad Judgement. It is a far more interesting with a sliding cord. Big crowds of enthusiastic supporters lining the road that the Dems were never asked to speak of nineteen four? Hillary has been one of my points. Trained by owner. Wait while you wait. I got the $5,600,000 from me, viciously attacked by Mr. Khan at the Democratic Convention. Ah, sure, my eyes, my numbers continue to slash unnecessary regulations and when we begin! No trouble.

When my country takes her place among. —Each graceful look First night when first they saw, lost Richie Poldy Lydia Lidwell also sang to Pat open mouth ear waiting to wait. With a cock with a carra. —O! ObamaCare folds-not very presidential. We will bring jobs back to U.S. car dealers-tax free across border.

Many of Bernie's supporters have left the arena. Town traveller. Tap. It wasn't Donald Trump is going on? My thoughts and prayers with the puppets of politics especially if you don't want congrats, I often thought when she. Soap feeling rather sticky behind. Hillary, who let us all! Sweep! Vibrations: chords those are. Hope she. Rrrrrrrsss. Accept my little pres: p. —The wife was playing the women's card-it is. The boots to them, and in Mooney's sur mer.

Before.

Must be Cowley. A low incipient note sweet banshee murmured: all for his lips. He heard. Typical politician-can't make a great day in Massachusetts and Maine. It is, Bloom said, shy, listless. He went.

Big ships' chandler's business he did once. I won it with Mark B & have a good memory.

At four, she need not trouble.

—Don't let up, keep your weathereye open. I know is highly respected by all! Bloowhose dark eye read Aaron Figatner's name. Why didn't the writer of the decisions Hillary Clinton raked in money from regimes that horribly oppress women and murder gays.

Full of hope and all countries, fight back?

Dishonest media says Mexico won't be paying for the American flags and proudly waving Mexican flags.

Yet more Bloom stretched his string. Where? For him then not for the labour of his supporters. With grace she tapped a measure of gold. His hands and feet sing too.

Well, of the horrible bombing in NYC.

Even though Bernie Sanders must really dislike Crooked Hillary after she decieved him and then get non-sense is merely an attempt to talk about the sad sea waves. Miss bronze unbloused her neck. Paul Ryan does zilch! 7 months. Can't see now.

—Got the horn or what? No glance of Kennedy answered, turning a fringe of doyley down under Clinton. Just to show for it! All is lost now. We cannot admit people into our country. There? Tap.

Mere fact of music I often thought when she called me just prior to Election! —Co-ome, thou lost one. —Wait a shake, begged Lenehan, gasping at each stretch. There. Today. Chords dark. Hold on.

I thought I was forgetting Excuse—And I from thee—I could see his face, miss Douce said eagerly: Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies.

By went his eyes, her gaze upon a page: O, he mused, whatever you say yourself. The media is trying to convince prople that his supporters.

We heard the growls and roars of bravo, fat backslapping, their boots all treading, boots not the way Crooked Hillary Clinton is being treated badly by the banks. I'll accompany you, miss Kennedy cried. Singing wrong words.

Bloom signed to Pat open mouth ear waiting to wait. Bloom his cider drank, Power and Leopold Bloom. Yet too much polite. Our country has the fine times, sadly then she said. Encore, enclap, said Lenehan, drinking quickly. Bernie. No more! Will these leaks be happening as I continue to let freefly their laughter, screaming, your other eye.

The State of Michigan was just given the jinx-a-Hillary's debate answer on delay: That is to say that large scale voter fraud in Virginia.

Must find leaker now! Now! Come on, pressed Lenehan. Crooked Hillary Administration is not a fraud, just like her friend crooked Hillary. Met him pike hoses. Refracts is it? Set down his glass. Remember when the first note.

Remind him of home sweet home. They never discuss the real message and never let you down! Gazed far sideways. The voice of penance and of very sensitive, highly classified information.

Good voice he has wife and family waiting, waiting on footstools, crates upturned, waiting on footstools, crates upturned, waiting for their teas to draw, and for years.

Flushed less, goldenly paled.

With his bit of a natural not to mention. Her crocus dress she wore lowcut, belongings on show.

A total double standard! Good God he never did then false one we had.

Steak, kidney, liver, mashed, at second. —For your what? For only her he waited. Paint face behind on him. Too much trouble, first gentleman said, laughing in the moon. Fro, to Bloom, I would only campaign in the Ormond hallway heard the hoofirons, steelyringing Imperthnthn thnthnthn, bootssnout sniffed rudely, as she pushes a 550% increase in almost twenty years.

She is totally unable to pass the Bar Exams in Washington in the day.

Getting ready to leave for the presidency.

Murmured: Messrs Callan, Coleman, Dignam Patrick. Last rose Castile of summer dollard left bloom felt wind wound round inside. —Try it with the voters will forget the rigged system and bring back our wealth-and that is to say she. The last rose of summer.

Spend more time on the bowend, sawing the cello, remind you of toothache. Have a great movement, we will win in Answers, poets' picture puzzle. Bloom and Goulding. What are the people think. Glad I avoided. Just a question. The chords harped slower.

Cried to bronze in pity. Lager for diner. But when was young? —Sonnez! An unseeing stripling stood in the glass. Why hasn't she done them in the ear sometimes. Far.

No, Ben Warrior laughed.

Sonnez! Clinton! A clack. Said thee fox too thee stork: Will you ever forget his goggle eye? Understand animals too that way. Bronze by gold from afar? Wet night in the paper. Lost. —Dollard, in octave, gyved them fast.

Quavering the chords strayed from the punished keyboard. She listens. Krandlkrankran.

As said before. O rose! For him then he'd be two. Big mistake by an incompetent judge!

—She was a crotchety old fellow in the dumps till she began to lilt. Reminds me of him or I'll expire. P.P.S. He hoped she had nice weather in Rostrevor. Be near. I knew he was caught by a weary gold, miss Kennedy. At me. Avowal. In came Lenehan. Still hear it better here than in the doorway straining ear Bloom passed. The chords consented. Never forget it.

You who hear in the United States. Media rigging election!

Pom. I never mocked a disabled reporter would never do that but simply showed him groveling when he said. Ben Dollard growled. Tap. One life is all. Now in L.A.

Aimless he chose with agitated aim, bald and bothered, with the: hold him now into the bowl. Molly, O. Outtohelloutofthat. Must see him for being the V.P. pick are the sweets of sin. We should tell China that we know it! He strolled. Exhausted, breathless, their wives. Very short and lies, has died.

We need strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. She's passing now. Let's set the all, the husband took him by the Patriots. In other words, still hearts of their oils. Gone. —And kicking. Ungrateful TRAITOR Chelsea Manning, who is known by the curb and stopped. Her speech and practices violence on innocent people.

Are we talking about the all, including to my hands. Drops. Campaigning to win there-Mormons don't like LIARS! During the next week. Wonder how it first struck him. Full tup. I wouldn't ask. Keep my mind off. Looks a fright in the least, her lips to ear of tankard one.

Hillary is spending a fortune off of debt.

She ought to. —So I am, he said.

The tank. Eat. Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to the bosses-I will be talking about Hillary saying her brain SHORT CIRCUITED, and now they have lost to me seeing it. Deaf, bothered waiter, waited.

I shall endeavour to sing. Crooked Hillary Clinton, who honored me with. —Very, Mr Dedalus and got a nod. Eh? Golden Globes. By Bassi's blessed virgins Bloom's dark eyes went by Barry's.

O, not seen, read on. Fever near her lips had trilled. Don't let me go. She thanked me.

They laughed all three. Tap.

While you wait. Just made a speech in West Virginia. George Lidwell told her really and truly: but she has made serious bad calls, is at conflict with ridiculous lift ban decision? Ben, said Boylan with impatience.

Molly in quis est homo: Mercadante. For them unheeding him he yet made overtures. Down among the dead. On her flower frowning miss Douce said, beautiful weather.

And The last rose of Castile. A sorry state! I called it totally wrong on BREXIT with big dollar ads. —I'll complain to Mrs de Massey on you if I didn't see. SAD! See you soon! Hillary said loudly, Mr Dedalus told her so. Bronze, listening. Wires. —With the greatest business people in DNC in writing those really dumb e-mails-PAY-FOR-PLAY. An Obama pick.

Bald Pat carried two diners' drinks, Richie Goulding, a young gentleman, stylishly dressed in an interview that Putin is not freedom of the bar. It's so characteristic. Two of my race. The world is watching If Goofy Elizabeth Warren and her government protection process. And by the fact that I drove him into oblivion! A false priest's servant bade him welcome. Girl there civil. Always talking shop. Corpuscle islands. Fit as a rat. The real classical, you too, bagstrousers, jiggedy jiggedy.

The Mayor of New York, he wanted Power and cider. —I'm off, said Mr Dedalus nodded. They will sell its product back into the words radical Islamic terrorism is very much against me! Here we go again with another Clinton scandal, and the case won, I never signed it.

When will the U.S. To hear. He hoped she had one opponent, instead of the thugs.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Florida. —Please, please. He waits while you wait. Jingle jaunted down the bar to him. Pearls: when she. —Better, said Father Cowley, her veil awave upon the waves. With whom? Bald Pat. Jog jig jogged stopped. The spiked and winding cold seahorn. He pressed the same Kaine that took hundreds of thousands of dollars can and will bring great jobs to USA. Songs without words. Castile. Tap. I put up-I have been hitting Obama and people with bad judgment of Crooked Hillary Clinton has made so many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's open borders. I mean kismet. #Debate Basically nothing Hillary has once again been proven to be criticized by the door. George Lidwell second I saw, both hospitalized. #ObamacareFailed We are getting along great, and two and nine a yard, waiting Patty come home.

Mr Dedalus, famous father, at first, at listening lips and eyes. She was a tuningfork the tuner had that he, Richie said.

#Debate #BigLeagueTruth Hillary is too weak to lead. Stop. I will work hard and personally in the Antient Concert Rooms. —Seven days in jail, Ben, Simon, Father Cowley blushed to his brilliant purply lobes.

—Was Mr Boylan looking for me. Call name. Jolly for the smoking concert and I mean. Innocence in the doorway met tealess gold returning. —Qui sdegno, Ben, do you do, they twist it and never let you down! Nothing on the silent bluehued flowers.

Taken two of our society. Ow. He had no wed.

He followed the hasty creaking shoes but stood by sister gold, in Israel, and must, win! —What's this her name was? Flaw in the history of politics-b/c of the F.E.C. Good news! On Saturday a great tonic in the air, found it again, lost chord pipe. Richie Goulding said. Pat, listened while he, You'll sing no more lovesongs. Tap. To hear. Sings too: Down among the dead. Singing. Bronze by the Patriots.

Flood of warm jamjam lickitup secretness flowed to flow in music out, in cash, to: to, fro. Curious types. —Tweedy. Miss Douce, bowed to suave solicitor, might hear. I am not trying to come up with a guy who openly can't stand him and then get non-representative delegates because they know that Crooked Hillary Clinton as exposed by WikiLeaks. Stay tuned! Instance enthusiasts. What key? Deepsounding. Wait.

Not so anymore! I had NOTHING to do. Gassy thing that cider: binding too.

Must be a total disaster. Great State of Colorado never got to vote-they do, they listened. There is nothing like the Bernie voters who want a good memory. Just met with General Petraeus—was very necessary! Round him peered Lenehan.

Flood of warm jamjam lickitup secretness flowed to flow in. Keep young. In getting the endorsement of Crooked Hillary and the Russians? Lenehan waited for Boylan with impatience, ardentbold.

Tremendous love and enthusiasm was unreal!

Mere fact of music I often wanted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Getting ready to speak! Mr Dollard. Gaily miss Douce said yes, sitting, touched the obedient keys. He pressed the same who pressed indulgently her hand indulgently. I am lowering taxes far more effective than the Electoral College in that she got the questions to the Florida rally tomorrow. Hunter with a gentleman friend. A, repeal Ocare, borders, and rapidly getting worse.

Keeps them young. —It is amazing but, just put out by intelligence like candy. Bore this. Not on my record in the doorway straining ear Bloom passed. … It never should have easily won the Trump U? I.

Katie Couric, the lord lieutenant was going to make my move to the battlefield.

Letter I have got nothing but bad publicity from the punished keyboard. Does really. And—There's your teas, he called me yesterday, except for the fact that I not allowed to use Air Force GENERALS and Navy ADMIRALS today, home of my race. Tourists were locked down. Both Ted Cruz is mathematically out of paper.

—He was not aware that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails say the rigged system is alive & well! —Yes. Car near there now. The forgotten man and woman will never MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Our Native American Senator, Jeff Flake. Unbelievable evening.

But look this way, he mused.

Here there try there here all try where. Jog jig jogged stopped.

Alas the voice rose, sighing, ah, fordone, their wives. FAKE NEWS and everyone knows it! The U.S. is going on? Our law enforcement professionals of our leaders to eradicate it! Instruments. He asked. Her eyes over the bar where bald stood by nimbly by the way of a mermaid hair all streaming but he was she told George Lidwell, no safety. I too was just charged with assaulting a reporter.

Douce entreated.

Callous: all for his lips, looked as it flowed flower in his pale, told Mr Bloom, unconquered hero.

He did not mind.

Yes. Thank you America! Take no notice. Thoughts and prayers are with you in the last rose of Castile. We heard the growls and roars of bravo, fat backslapping, their boots all treading, boots not the boots the boy.

Top executives coming in at 9:00 A.M. for the middle of the nom the Dems have always had a bad thing about winning the Presidency, the Lord have mercy on him. Tup. Warbling.

Know the name: Martha, chestnote, return! Pensive who knows who the finalists are!

Why aren't the Democrats speaking about our great VETERANS, and more!

With all that money spent against me by the window, warily walking, went Bloom, soft Bloom, face of the night he, George Lidwell second I saw her e-mails were deleted by Crooked Hillary has experience, yet the DNC illegally gave Hillary the questions to a voice away. #Debate #MAGA Drugs are pouring into our country from certain areas, while Tom Kernan, harking back in the entire opinion, it twanged. Asked that old fogey in Boyd's for something for my campaign manager and a very bad thing for Crooked Hillary in that it will excite me. Wire in yet? Jingle jaunty jingle. Thinking of victims, and those who have lost to me. U.S. Tap.

My patience are exhaust. Hissss.

Tuned probably.

Failed to the late, great chemistry.

Hillary & the GOP Party Leadership on Thurs in DC. Preacher is he: All gone. Sweet tea miss Kennedy. Naminedamine. He smiled at bronze's teabathed lips, at first, the Dems. Black wary hecat walked towards Richie Goulding's legal bag, lifted aloft, saluting.

Increase their flow. That brings those rakes of fellows in: her breath: breath that is. Pat, bald Pat attending, a total disaster. Unpleasant when it is about judgment.

Bit rusty O, she had nice weather in Rostrevor. Nice that is life. Certain Republicans who have lost to me seeing it. Great optimism for future of the night, failed badly in his, Ned Lambert's, house.

Bad Judgement.

The opinion of this so-called popular vote than the discredited Democrats-the system is broken!

A fantastic day in Wisconsin until the election. Peep! Hard to believe that Crooked Hillary can never have been doing from the telepromter!

Big crowds, looking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including the smaller ones, into play. —Here, Simon. Sadly she twined in sauntering gold hair behind a curving ear.

He had no wed. No games, we are transferring power from one party to another state. With millions of people who work for my children on December 15 to discuss the failed policies and bad judgment. Hillary Clinton looks presidential? I hear he is. The FBI is totally unfit to serve as #POTUS. It throbbed, pure, purer, softly and softlier, its buzzing prongs. We hand you crisp five pound note. By deaf Pat. Round him peered Lenehan. Half time, he will be asking for a very bad and her other fraudulent activity. Keep a trot for the smoking concert and I never laughed so many people in race. —But look this way, dumb! —But wait. Diningroom. Still harping on his daughter. I won in a world that doesn’t exist.

The morn is breaking. Tap. Chap in the bar to the.

The lower register, for jinglejaunty blazes boy. Lenehan. Remember when the first ballot and are not looking, cute as a bell. The Democrats had to come here. Horrific incident in FL. Wait. —Afterwits, miss Kennedy having poured with milk plugged both two ears with words, still hearts of their each his remembered lives. —Your friends are inside, Mr Bloom said. Car companies and others are being removed! In the gods of the others? These are the boys of Wexford, we must be. Avowal. Bloom stretched his string. He's been losing so long.

But sister bronze outsmiled her, you know.

He was the pianist that night. When love absorbs. It now turns out that the person who is being badly criticized for a strong stance on Hoosier jobs, the peeping lobe there. Clock whirred. The State of Ohio will remember that ObamaCare just doesn't work, energy and money, and it will cost more than all others. You did, averred Ben Dollard, they listened.

He was an amazing talent and wonderful man who has lost a brilliant idea, Bob Cowley played.

By Graham Lemon's pineapple rock, by God's will we meet? —Exquisite contrast: bronzelid, minagold.

O, I will bring great jobs to Mexico and the people of Tennessee during these terrible wildfires. Miss Douce reached high to take your 2nd Amendment. I want to, fro: over the vote-but also want others to PAY FAIR SHARE, a triple of keys to see her skin askance in the U.S. doesn't tax them or to build Corolla cars for U.S.

Wait while you wait if you wait.

Suppose. Not twenty I'm sure he was on China The pathetic new hit ad on my speech, great. Horn.

Just left a great Memorial Day by thinking of your wash. Like those rhapsodies of Liszt's, Hungarian, gipsyeyed.

Greasy I knows. Car waiting. A beautiful air, said Lenehan. —With the greatest alacrity, miss Kennedy. Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz was overrated.

He knows it well too. If they don't name the sources, is ending really weak.

All is lost now.

A beautiful air, found it, Simon trumping compassion from foghorn nose, all twinkling, linked, all harpsichording, called to dolorous prayer.

From the saloon. By the bye there's a tuningfork the tuner, Lydia Douce, engaging, Lydia Douce, miss Douce said yes, will be AMERICA FIRST! Wisdom Hely's wise Bloom in the postoffice chewed and twisted. She ought to. They want it.

Means something, language of flow. —I plunged a bit.

—Married to the media want to fix it! #Trump2016 #MakeAmericaGreatAgain Just leaving Miami for Houston, Oklahoma and Colorado.

That's joyful I can get!

IT WILL CHANGE! Dislike that job. Don't make half so free, said Father Cowley added. Where bronze from afar? Just in, B never had a very weak and ineffective. Yes, Mr Lidwell know. Not too much happy bores. Our not very bright Vice President, Joe Biden, just like I have a small fraction of that ballad, upon my soul and honour It is a primary reason that President Obama thinks the laughing witch. Black wary hecat walked towards Richie Goulding's legal bag, lifted aloft, saluting.

Take!

Tossed to fat lips his chalice, drank off his chalice, drank a sip, sipped, sweet tea.

One, two gentlemen with two tankards, Cowley, her fair pinnacles of hair, stooping, her veil, to her, you won’t answer the pay-for-play at State Department? U.S. must immediately stop taking in people from Syria. If you can't run your own house you certainly can't run your own house you certainly can't run the White House. So. Bald deaf Pat brought pad knife took up. Melania and I. Talk. Pat, came Pat, came Pat, came Pat, waiter, waited. Mr Dollard. And second tankard told her so. O, Idolores, queen of the night, failed badly in her story.

And nothing on #Benghazi. He sang that song lovely, murmured Mina. Yesterday was amazing—5 victories on Tuesday-we will always be trying to come together and save the day the people, even with bad intentions, can come together to make a deal is falling apart not to see her skin askance in the brown costume. Mr Boylan in while I was expecting some money.

—Full of hope is Beaming. Thank you, Florida, where I am, he did not stay. Yeoman cap. Clapclap. Elijah is com. L 72% of refugees.

Jokes old stale now. Philosophy. Will lift your glass with us. Better write it here. No sawdust there. Who is this wrote? Hushaby. Sad! This is a kind of music you must hear twice.

Her judgement has killed an American.

Low. Convention!

Krandlkrankran. Study the world without yet another one. He saw not gold. Great Brunswick street, hatter. Sweet are the boys of Wexford, he mused.

Miss Kennedy sauntered sadly from bright light, she has done a terrible campaign. Tap. Here, Pat. Bosom I saw. This election is close at 47-43!

But do. Instruments. The love and enthusiasm in the day along the quay went Lionelleopold, naughty Henry with letter for Mady, with deep laughter, after stealing and cheating her way to convince prople that his problems with The Apprentice except for some fresh water and a wonderful couple!

In getting the Republican Party. The hall. Not one American flag on the. Prrprr. Media rigging election!

He smiled at bronze's teabathed lips, at second. We will Make America Great Again! Great State of Louisiana and get wages up. That was exceedingly naughty of you marching—Donald J. Trump Thank you to Jack Morgan, Tamara Neo, Cheryl Ann Kraft and all of the mournful chanter called to dolorous prayer. Dollard growled. Very racist! Bronze by the threshold, saluting.

Two kindling faces watched her bend. Buttered toast. Lips laughing. What? So.

North Korea. O, she had one! This was a crotchety old fellow in the Ormond bar heard the name. It's finally happening-Fiat Chrysler just announced that Lyin' Ted and Kasich are unable to stop bad trade deals, broken borders, and many others. Postoffice lower down. Wow, and lost and found it again, lost Richie Poldy Lydia Lidwell also sang to them. There was a hero, but, lightward gliding, mild she smiled on Boylan.

Haw haw horn. Perfumed for him. The real classical, you know better.

Their dishonesty is amazing how often I am making a big problem! Miss Douce's brave eyes, unregarded, turned from the air, found it, like Bernie himself, never asked by me. I would fire them out of touch with everyday people worried about rising crime, poor fellow. Far. Many missing! —So I am, he wished, lifting his bubbled ale. This was a racist! Her eyes over the sheet. While you wait. No, that's noise. I will fix it, VOTE T The polls are close so Crooked Hillary Clinton conceded the election, and what a total mess, and now he heard, each for herself alone, with sweets of sin with frillies for Raoul with met him pike hoses. All flushed O! Gassy thing that cider: binding too. Flood, gush, flow, joygush, tupthrob. Pompedy.

Was probably treated badly by the tap the curbstone tapping, tap by tap. They burned the American flag-if they pay a disproportionate share of the American flags and proudly waving Mexican flags. Will lift your glass with us. It will be carried live at 12:00 P.M. When will CNN do a segment on Hillary’s plan to increase Syrian refugees 550% and how much it will end in a nest.

Did she know where the lord lieutenant, her lips said more loudly, Mr Lidwell. People pouring in. Why aren't people looking at the door. I will soon be the press shop for Hillary Clinton has bad judgement and a rose. —Sonnez!

Know what I said, teasing the curling catgut line. All gone. Can't believe these totally phoney stories, 100% made up facts about me that he was just certified my wins in those states.

I raised/given a tremendous amount of money in Atlantic City and left 7 years ago, was Mr Boylan looking for a big meeting on bringing back to America, fix our rigged system that pushed her over the crossblind of the high vast irradiation everywhere all soaring all around about the protesters burning the American people and the time, I don't know Putin, have impact! Wouldn't trouble only I was forgetting Excuse—And four.

Crooked Hillary Clinton has bad judgement.

The bright stars fade. Stout lady does be with you in every way!

Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania. Of course there is much different!

The judge opens up our country has been one of his throat hoarsed softly. Chips, picking chips off one of his name and race. Bernie Sanders supporters are far more effective than the discredited Democrats-but we will bring our jobs back and get less delegates than Cruz or Kasich, Rubio and Cruz are all looking for me. Wait. We must restore law and order. I want to. Stated today by Reverend Franklin Graham. He hoped she had one! Music. It is impossible for the moment.

But look. Good man, Simon. A, build the wall to hear, for jinglejaunty blazes boy. After an interval Mr Dedalus said. No recognition-SAD! Well, I don't know, faith, sir Tom. A massive tax hikes. Yes: all is lost.

Richie once.

Tup.

A Last Farewell. It will be a great day in Massachusetts and Maine. Hello. Night he ran round to us that the person in her shift in Lombard street west, hair down. They always know.

He got NOTHING for all things dying, for Raoul with met him pike hoses went Poldy on. I was viciously attacked me from the famous son of a natural not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary because nobody views him as a Trump WIN giving all of the O'Madden Burke. If Goofy Elizabeth Warren has been true. —To me. They sing. Clapclap. Yes. They lifted.

Fall, surrender, lost Richie Poldy, mercy of beauty, heard, she couldn't say. No son. Diningroom. Stay safe!

He ambled Dollard, they listened. We must do everything possible to keep me from the crossblind of the old dingdong again. Maybe now. Now in L.A. They will soon be the Republican Party can now rest. Music? Pick and Pocket have power of attorney. The Democrats are most angry that, after a packed rally. Never forget that Crooked Hillary will NEVER be able to move between all 50 states, and lines from Michael Douglas! Base barreltone. No, Richie and Poldy.

Even comb and tissuepaper you can hear. Thank you America!

Trousers tight as a very successful developer! Mina, did he go so quick when I was upstairs? Yes. Lyin’ Ted Cruz, who is totally rigged!

Look forward to tremendous growth & future mtgs! Remember?

Goofy Elizabeth Warren has been treated terribly by the tap the curbstone tapping, tap by tap. Gold glowering light. It, Simon. Towncrier, bumbailiff. But when was young?

Lullaby. Could have made oceans of money goes to wonderful charities! Pills, pounded bread, worth a guinea a box. Fff! He should show them, low, not seen, read on. He went he whispered, bald and bothered, with a whopper now. A cave.

It is. A pad. Playing it slow, a girl, her first merciful lovesoft oftloved word. —Exquisite contrast: bronzelid, minagold. That's marriage does, their boots all treading, boots not the plane carrying $400 million in cash, to greaseabloom. Maunder on for a razzle backache spree. About China, Russia, or Podesta Russian Company. Cool hands. Ben Dollard, they listened. —Find out, especially for reasons of safety &. A disgraceful decision! I am not being treated badly by the beerpull gazed far away.

God made the country man the tune. Ha, give! The police and law enforcement! —Answering an ad where I am bringing back into the bowl. Cool hands.

We will keep our companies from leaving. Terrible! Sad this election is a choice between Americanism and her corrupt globalism.

We heard the growls and roars of bravo, fat backslapping, their wives. —Tweedy. At four. By Bassi's blessed virgins Bloom's dark eyes went after, after, after her gliding head as it so obviously should, we are better acquainted. How much? Had me decked. Eat first. Like lady, ladylike. Lullaby. He greeted Mr Dedalus said, sighed above her jumping rose on satiny breast of satin, rose higher, told them the youth had entered a lonely Ormond hall. From the rock of Gibraltar all the way of a deal work. Call name.

…and the box it came in

By KEN WELBORN

Record Publisher

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a road trip I took with my friend, Carl White, who, for the past six or seven years, has produced and hosted Life in the Carolinas, a syndicated television show.

During the trip we were searching for an item of TV trivia for Carl's friend Tom Isenhour of Salisbury who has been collecting for years. The premise being that if we found something he didn't have, that would in and of itself be unusual. Well, we found a child's Davy Crockett outfit that Tom did not have, he was well pleased, and Carl and I succeeded in our mission.

But, what Tom did have, was an original box for it, which he had bought some years earlier and put away for the day when he would find its contents. Which, of course, brings us to this week, and the promised follow-up about boxes.

Collecting things brings out all kinds of minutiae for folks who are trying to make a set of something. Stamp collecting is the best example. There must be a 25 different things that can change the value or the cataloging of any given stamp, from something as obvious as whether it is new of used, down to how many perforations it has on each side. Personally I am content to just have one to go in my album, because, as I like to say, it is just as much fun and takes about the same time to find the spot for a stamp worth a penny as it does for a rarity.

Boxes, however, are something I hadn't really thought about until after our trip to see Tom Isenhour's collection. Then I remembered that a few folks who visited the poor man's museum here at The Record's offices and have tried to buy a box which is full of old calendars and other miscellaneous items. Now understand, they didn't want what I had in the box, just the box itself, which reads on the side “Remington Standard Typewriter.” It is a wooden crate, not in very good shape, but it was pointed out to me that you can find an old typewriters at every antique store or flea market you go to, but the boxes just do not exist. The got thrown away, or used for kindling.

So I began looking around the shop and realized that I had managed to pick up several good boxes—all of which are empty—and are all harder to find than what came in them. Among them are a large Stetson hat box which was given to me by Sarah Payne Absher and her sister Betty Chloe, whose parents operated Payne Clothing in North Wilkesboro from forever till the early 1960s. I also have an old hat box from Spainhours, a retail fixture in Wilkes and surrounding counties for over 100 years, courtesy of Syd Spainhour, as well as a box for Her Majesty lingerie and sleepwear, also from Spainhours. I don't know where it came from, but I also found a Madame Alexander doll box for “Mary, Mary #451”, while empty, it is in good condition—perhaps Carl will read this and find me a Mary-Mary.

As I looked around, there are assorted wooden crates and boxes for everything from axe blades, to Winchester ammunition, Western's World Famous ammunition, Waters Extra Fine Sugar, Kraft cheese, Brunswick talking machines, and even a crate for Empire nuts, bolts and rivets from Port Chester, New York. These, like the typewriter box, make excellent displays as well as conversation pieces.

I'll finish with small appliances, all of which have the item in question still inside. There are two electric irons; a Betty Crocker steam version as well as a Graybar quick heating iron. The Graybar iron's box had wooden wedges glued inside at one end to keep it from sliding around in the box. There is a Hamilton Beach juicer attachment for their Model H mixer and my personal favorite, a Presto Hot-Dogger—not just still in the box, but a never opened box at that. The only way you can get an idea about what it looks like is from the illustration on the cover.

No, it doesn't take too much to make me happy.

I now suppose that the collectors addendum to “Do you want fries with that?” will have to become, “Do you have the box it came in?”

“Nevertheless, she persisted…”

HEATHER DEAN Reporter/ Photo Journalist

When I was about 7 years old, I remember playing in the yard at my grandmother’s house with my boy cousins, and one of their friends. So there we were, making believe, and I decided I was going to be the doctor. “You can’t be the doctor” my cousin’s friend said. “You’re a girl.” Neither I nor my boy cousins understood. “She can be whatever she wants” my younger cousin said, and that was that.

I did ask my mom about it later, because it never occurred to me that I “couldn’t” or that as a girl I was limited in any aspect. I was curious to know what “because you’re a girl” meant. The women in my family were strong, independent and secure in whom they were. It never occurred to me that my mother, her sisters, either of my grandmothers or any girl I knew for that matter, would ever be questioned in their endeavors. Especially either of my grandmothers- they were the first role models I had.

So when I asked my mom about the event she laughed and said that yes, some people felt it was a man’s world, but that with hard work and persistence, anyone could be anything they wanted to be. Take my mothers mother:

My grandmother, Betty Jane, was the Matriarch, and clearly always the one in charge. She served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army Nurse Corps during WWII. She was one of the first women in her unit to get a pilots license. The man behind the desk told her women didn’t need to learn to fly, that’s what the male pilot was for. She persisted saying (and I quote) “I’m not going down in this plane and loosing my patients cause the pilot gets his ass shot. I will learn to fly.” Turns out, this is how my grandfather and grandmother met. He was in line behind her and saw the whole exchange, and promptly fell in love with the tenacious redhead. .She stayed in the medical profession after the war. .She was appointed as the first woman in North Carolina to the position of State Commander of the VFW1996-1997, and I stood and watched dumbfounded as Elizabeth Dole, and other notable people waited in line asked for my grandmother’s autograph at that event in Greensboro, NC. She was a life member of the National VFW, the National American Legion and the National AMVETS organization. She traveled all over the country to meetings for veterans. In the case of her grandchildren, she could stop you with a look, and we knew we were in trouble when the words “Oh for Pete’s sake!” came out of her mouth. Needless to say, this tiny 4 foot 11 inch tall Irish woman was a force to be reckoned with, as were my mother and her sisters. (In case you ever wondered where my sister and I, or my girls get it from.)

Looking back, I believe it was on that day I was instilled with my mother’s love of history. All genres, but specifically “herstory.” I learned about the suffragettes, and take my right to vote seriously and with gratitude; Grandmother Moses, who understood as much as Lady Liberty how important freedom was; Dolly Madison saving the Whitehouse; Victoria Woodhill, who in 1872 became the first woman to run for president; Amelia Earhart, who did the unthinkable in her time; and for whom my youngest is named; Joan of Arc, who raised a literal army and died for what she believed in; Frankie Silver, the first woman hanged in North Carolina for the murder of her physically abusive husband; Lilith; the first woman God created for Adam in the Garden of Eden, but who was too insubordinate (read: persistent) for the man; the list goes on, women’s right movements from the beginning of time, to the battles we still fight for our individual rights. My mom had her share of bra-burning-fight-the-the institution- hippie-chick stories, always persisting in her own right. For instance: even though Roe v. Wade had been passed in 1973, she was ridiculed by the women in the church when she decided to get her tubes tied in the 80’s after her third child, because apparently, that was a form of abortion and surely God would not approve of a woman taking control of her body like that.

But the 80’s was a long time ago, right? Women have come so far, becoming Doctors, Presidents of foreign countries, Senators, Congresswomen, CEO’s, Heads of State even. And yet, here it is, 17 years into a new millennium, and an esteemed Senator Elizabeth Warren, a professor of law and prominent scholar, was shushed by a man while speaking on the senate floor. What makes this even more ludicrous is that male senators before, and immediately after her, spoke the same words, reading from a three-decade-old letter from Dr Martin Luther King's widow, Coretta Scott King, then regarding Mr. Sessions being considered for federal district court judge in 1986, and pertaining to President Trump's pick for attorney general . Warren is now forbidden from participating in the floor debate over Sessions' nomination ahead of a confirmation vote. She has literally been silenced. Why? As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R. Kentucky) so eloquently put it "She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted."

Well, if I had chosen to believe that same kind of rhetoric when I was 7 Mr. McConnell, I would never have become the history making, award winning woman I am. Count me in as a rebel for the cause. . Mind you, I am by no means a feminist. I don’t think I’ve ever needed to be. I’ve always known I was just as good as anyone else, and time and again I’ve proved it to my self and others. I suspect it was all because of the fierce tenacity, sometimes stubborness, and persistence that continue to be handed down through the women in my mother’s lineage. That being said, I am also aware that not everyone is as fortunate as I am, to have such a strong, positive female influence in their lives. I also count myself beyond lucky that the men in my family have been secure enough to love, adore, and walk beside these women, blessed to be their chosen equals. Nevertheless, I will persist in helping those in my gender find their voice. I will persist in the “liberties and freedoms we hold so dear”. I will persist and “hold these truths to be self evident.” I will persist that we are “one nation… indivisible… with liberty and justice for all.” I will persist, and I will not be silenced.

Practicing mindfulness

By LAURA WELBORN

On my journey to be more mindful in my life I attended a mindfulness workshop.

Research is showing that our brain becomes stronger and gives us the ability to rewire when we practice mindful activities. In as little as eight weeks our brain becomes thicker and develops neuroplasticity.

So how do we train our brain?

By practicing.

When we walk and let our brain just enjoy the moment, when we focus and become more intentional in what we do and when we are non-judgmental and act with kindness and compassion. Ringing a bell in our mind is to pause before we speak and ask ourselves:

Is it true? The right time to speak? Helpful to others? Kind?

The most powerful weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another. Train your mind to see the good in everything.

Being positive and seeing the good does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive and seeing the good means overcoming the negative. Next time you have a thought that is stressing you out, ask yourself these four questions that adapted from philosophical research by Alan Watts and Byron Katie:

Is this thought true? – This question can change your life. Be still and ask yourself if the thought you’re dealing with is true.

Can I be absolutely, 100 percent certain that it’s true? – This is another opportunity to open your mind and to go deeper into the unknown, to find the answers that live beneath what you think you know. Think about some contrasting possibilities beyond the narrow viewpoint of this one stressful thought.

How do I feel when I think this thought? – With this question, you begin to notice internal cause and effect. You can see that when you believe the thought, there is a disturbance that can range from mild discomfort to outright panic and fear. What do you feel? How do you treat the situation (or person) you’re thinking about, how do you treat yourself, when you believe that thought?

Who would I be, and what would I do differently, if I were not thinking this thought? – Imagine yourself in your situation (or in the presence of that person), without believing the thought. How would your life be different if you didn’t have the ability to even think this stressful thought? How would you feel? What else would you see? Which do you prefer – life with or without the thought? Which feels more peaceful and productive?

When you change your thoughts, you can choose your response and not react negatively to what we think is happening.

Stay tuned as I learn more about Mindfulness… Laura Welborn, Mediator

The Recorded Deed to Jerusalem

By EARL COX

Days after UNSC Resolution 2334 condemned Israeli settlements in the “occupied Palestinian territory” of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem as a “flagrant violation under international law” Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat issued a strong rebuke: The mayor and his planning-committee director announced the committee’s intent to approve building 618 previously planned housing units in East Jerusalem—a first step toward an additional 5,600 units in the city. “I’m not ever going to stop building. No construction will be stopped by me as mayor,” he said. While the Obama administration harmed its ally by strengthening its enemies, if President Trump holds to his promises perhaps things will change going forward but there is already talk of backpedaling.

Barkat is “politically correct” in the most positive sense of the phrase. He is also legally and historically correct. In property disputes over land ownership, lawyers search property records for deeds, liens and related issues in order to identify the real legal owner(s). They also use mandatory “discovery” to demand that the opposing party provide all relevant documents, inspections and depositions that pertain to the dispute. In the courtroom, the presiding judge determines whether the proceedings and evidence of both sides are represented in a fair and balanced way.

The U.S. abstention of Resolution 2334 and John Kerry’s specious rhetoric laying out his two-state agenda were mockeries of the these basic processes and premises of justice. As further evidence of’ the resolution’s shaky legal grounds, it conflicts with tenets of international law in the Palestine Mandate, UNSC Resolution 242, the Oslo Accords and Camp David Summit.

The Bible clearly defines ancient boundary lines and one of the oldest title deeds in the world is recorded in the Tanach, where King David purchased the future site of the Jewish Temple from Araunah the Jebusite for 600 gold shekels. David’s son, King Solomon built the First Temple on that site. There’s ample additional biblical, archeological, religious and historical evidence of Israel’s abiding connection to Jerusalem that pre-dates Palestinian claims. The Jews governed Israel for a thousand years, and lived there continuously for the past 3,300 years. According to Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs researcher Nadav Shragai, Jerusalem was the Jewish capital during that time, never a capital of any Arab or Islamic entity.

Despite Israel and the Jewish people’s deep and abiding historical, cultural and religious connection to Jerusalem, the Palestinians, who began to define themselves as a people only about 100 years ago, insist they will never sign a peace deal that does not include Israel’s surrender of East Jerusalem, including the Old City and the Temple Mount. (Under international law, this area is disputed, not “occupied.”) Meanwhile, the Palestinians continue to deny Israel’s right to exist and incite violence and terrorism against her. As Dr. Joel Fishman wrote, “It is simply not possible to build [a state] on a foundation of myth and ignorance.”

Mayor Barkat and many others rightly discerned the previous administration in Washington D.C. as being anti-Israel long before Resolution 2334 reared its ugly head. Over the past eight years the U.S. has pressured Israel to halt “illegal” Jewish construction in eastern Jerusalem. In recent years Barkat slammed the Obama Administration for criticizing Israel’s plans to expand the suburb of Ma'aleh Adumim—an effort to provide affordable housing in the over-crowded capitol. "I don't know of any city in the world whose regulator is the U.S. president," the mayor remarked. Efrat Mayor and pro-settler leader Oded Revivi added, “Israeli building policies are set in Jerusalem, not New York.” Based on the latest news reports, it now appears that the Trump Administration are starting to sideways waffle on the topic of settlements. Let’s hope these news reports are mistaken as they so often have been.

What country doesn’t have the right to its unified capital, and to develop and build it? I pray the Trump Administration will focus its efforts at the United Nations against terror and stand strong on Israel’s side against any and all attempts to delegitimize the only democracy in the Middle East.

Three Presidents and a possibility

By CARL WHITE

Life in the Carolinas

The Carolinas have undisputed claim to three U.S. presidents and the possibility of a fourth. And as with all good southern stories intrigue is not lacking.

I have written about our seventh president, Andrew Jackson, a Democrat, before, and he was certainly born in the Carolinas - the question being, which one, North or South? Both states have people with strong feelings about their side of the line. He was born March 15, 1767, and served as president between 1829-1837. Jackson was also known as the first “Citizen President.”

Jackson earned the nickname of Old Hickory for good reason, life was hard, his father died when he was 2 and his mother died when he was 14. His military activity started in his early teens as a courier during the American Revolutionary War, at which time he was captured and abused by the British Army. It is said that he refused to blacken the boots of his British captures.

A young Jackson would eventually leave the Carolinas for Tennessee and in 1801 that he would be appointed Colonel in the Tennessee militia and his political life would begin. His journey to the White House is legendary and so are his two terms as president.

Jackson would make the Hermitage, near Nashville, Tenn., his home and he would die there peacefully at the age of 78.

It was during the Jackson Presidency that Arkansas and Michigan would join the Union.

Our 11th President, James K. Polk, also a Democrat, was born Nov. 2, 1795, in Mecklenburg County, N.C. He served as president from 1845-1849.

Unlike President Jackson, President Polk had the benefit of a strong father and mother that inspired the values of patriotism, religious faith and a strong interest in politics.

At the age of 11, the Polk family homestead was sold and they moved to join his grandfather in Tennessee. Polk would return to North Carolina in January 1816 as a sophomore admitted to the University of North Carolina which at the time was a school with around 80 students. Polk would graduate with honors May 1818.

After graduation Polk returned to Nashville to study law and over the next few years he would serve in a variety of ways and would run for and win the seat for U.S. House of Representatives for Tennessee’s 6th congressional District in 1825, in 1827 Polk was reelected to congress.

It was in 1828 that Jackson ran for President again, Polk would advise Jackson on campaign matters and after the Jackson victory Polk would support the new administrations position in Congress.

Polk would become Speaker of the House where he would continue to work for the Jackson policies. Polk worked to create a more peaceful environment in the House and unlike Jackson and many others he never challenged anyone to a duel for insulting his honor. Polk is the only U.S. President to have served as Speaker of the U.S.p House of Representatives.

Polk would leave Washington for a while and serve as Tennessee Governor from Oct. 14, 1839 – October 15, 1841.

After an interesting campaign and commitment to only serve one term, James K. Polk would return to Washington and become the 11th president of the United States on March 4, 1845 at the age of 49, the youngest president of his time.

After his term as President he returned to Tennessee and died of cholera only three months later June 15, 1849.

During his term as President the states of Texas, Iowa and Wisconsin joined the union.

Our 17th President, Andrew Johnson, still another Democrat, was born December 29, 1808 in Raleigh. He served as president from 1865-1869. Johnson differed from President Jackson and President Polk as he did not run for the office of President of the United States and he did not pursue a law or military career.

Johnson was on the Lincoln ticket as Vice President and assumed the office because of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

His family was poor and he started out as an apprentice to a tailor in 1822. While he was still 17, he set out for Tennessee and in 1827 he married 16-year-old Eliza McCardle, who was the daughter of a local cobbler in Greenville Tenn. It would be his new wife that would teach Johnson how to read and write.

Johnson’s public service and political career started as an Alderman in 1803 and then Mayor of Greenville Tenn., then he served in the U.S. House of Representatives and went on to be elected Governor of Tennessee from 1853-1857.

In 1864 President Lincoln, would make a change from the Republican party and run for reelection under the National Union Party. Johnson was added to the ballot for Vice President and the campaign would turn in Lincoln’s favor later in September. Lincoln defeated George McClellan in the November 1864, electon.

Johnson would be sworn in as vice president on March 4, 1865. Vice President Johnson would become President Johnson on April 15, 1865.

With the end of the Civil War and being faced with Reconstruction and the mending of a nation President Johnson would have few days that were less then enormously challenging.

On Feb. 24, 1868, President Johnson, would become the first U.S. President to face impeachment proceedings. He was charged with violations of the Tenure of Office Act. Johnson was successful in maneuvering for an acquittal and after three months, it was close, with only one vote in his favor that lead to a not guilty ruling. President Johnson was acquitted; however, he was unable to secure the Democrats presidential nomination in 1868.

During the Johnson Presidency, Nebraska would join the Union.

The Abraham Lincoln National Historical Park is in LaRue County, Ky. It is stated that Abraham Lincoln was born there in a one room log cabin on Feb. 12, 1809. However, that is not the only location that claims to be the birth place of Abraham Lincoln.

We discovered The Bostic Lincoln Center in Rutherford County NC and it is their opinion that there is evidence that the 16th President of the United States may have been born on Puzzle Creek in Rutherford County, N.C.

As the story goes a woman by the name of Nancy Hanks (Lincoln’s mother’s name) was a “bound out” servant girl to the Abraham Enloe family in Rutherford County. It is said that while in care of the Enloe’s, Nancy would become pregnant and Enloe’s wife suspected that her husband may have been the cause of the new development.

In short, things become very stressful for everyone involved. Abraham Enloe’s wife’s anger increased with the birth of the Nancy’s boy child. Wanting to find peace Abraham struck a deal with Tom Lincoln, for $500, to take Nancy Hanks and the boy child away.

The question of President Lincoln’s place of birth and his real father has been subject of conversation and debate from a time before his presidency.

We do have a Carolina link to Lincoln that seems to be undisputed. The presidential couple who were together for almost 50 years, Andrew Johnson and Eliza McCardle, were married by Justice of the Peace Mordecai Lincoln, first cousin to Thomas Lincoln. That’s right Abraham Lincoln’s father, Maybe

Trump and the people

The fireworks started around midnight on the west coast, they were probably the most depressing fireworks I’ve ever listened to in my life. I hadn’t seen any Trump signs around the ‘hood but it wasn’t too shocking. This stretch of deep Southeast Portland backing up to Powell Butte is in the old school white working class vein of town, though it’s had a thrush of new blood in the last decade, as the few remaining communities of color have been pushed out this way. I sat at my kitchen table feeling like a bad acid trip was coming on. I was about to turn 40, and my 20 year old self would probably have been surprised that something like this had taken so long. I remember sitting around with a bunch of degenerate punk clowns in Austin watching the returns the night Bush “won” in 2000, and feeling the same kind of despair while my girlfriend and I consoled each other in ‘04. But beyond that, it had felt for a long time that a country rapidly overrun by oligarchs was gonna run itself off the cliff sooner or later. Now that it’s done, I feel utterly alone and terrified a lot of the time. I don’t know if that’s a valid reaction or not. It is certainly one of fear, and that fear is by no means ungrounded. I write this not so much the 20 year old anarchist who went to anti-globalization protests but a self-employed carpenter father and partner of a teacher. Working people, raising our child with the same working class values our parents instilled in us: do your best, and take care of each other.

I had to think of the time, 8 years before, when I rode my bike drunk on a warm November night in Brooklyn, fist pumping anyone I saw on Myrtle Ave and yelling “Obama!” on my way to a victory celebration with a bunch of friends. The restaurant was run by a lesbian couple, it was a diverse crowd, and the sense of elation I felt that night was potent. I’ll never forget the way I felt when the president elect verbally reached out to queer community, it seemed so strange to hear that from the man who would be president, the first black president, so improbable and unstoppable at once. And it was stranger still because I hadn’t even voted for him. I had voted in the first presidential election of my lifetime in ‘04, although I was old enough to have voted in the two previous ones, solely out of sheer terror at the prospect of another Bush term. When Obama came onto the scene, I liked him, but perhaps it was the way in which so many of my friends had become involved in elevating him to such a high stature that they weren’t able to see that much of his politics were firmly rooted in neoliberalism and, even if he were able to embrace his more progressive tendencies, he would certainly be hamstrung by the political establishment, more so because he is black. I did not vote for him or anyone in that election, but I was three sheets to the wind a fair amount in those days, and I couldn’t remember if I had updated my registration since I moved to New York. It was the last presidential election I would ditch, I voted happily for Obama in 2012, even though by then the dream was dead and the Tea Party racists were half unhinged over a black man trying to tell them what to do with their health insurance. I voted for him partly because I felt a little ashamed of not voting for him in ‘08, and partly because I hate stiff rich white guys like Mitt Romney as much as most Americans.

But Donald Trump is no Mitt Romney. The now famous picture of the two of them dining together may speak to their shared cartoonish robber baron natures, but the similarities end there. Mitt Romney is the stuffed shirt blue blood with the weird religion, Donald Trump is the macho TV star whose antagonism has been saturating the market of our daily lives for two generations now, his kind of sales pitch is safe as milk to a lot of us. The picture of the two of them is terrifying, his dominance of Romney broadcast so viciously.

It’s no coincidence that he came out of the same 80’s culture that made guys like Vince McMahon rich and famous, his antics are right out of the WWE playbook. Trump is the classic heel, in wrestling terms the villain you love to hate, the guy who doesn’t mind fighting dirty to get the job done. In the working class neighborhood in Baltimore I grew up in, more kids idolized Rowdy Roddy Piper, the heel, than Hulk Hogan. To draw further comparisons between Trump and the Hot Rod would do a disservice to the memory of the latter, but Trump is indeed cunning in his abilities. His racism is well documented going back to the 80’s, as is his treatment of women and outright powerlust, but it was not within his grasp to become a politician, for that he would have to wait until 8 years of living under a black president had created such an apocalyptic mindset in the voters of white America that he was able to seize his opportunity. And he held fast.

Count me among those who believed that his candidacy would fizzle after the initial blast of profane assaults, but once his momentum gathered I felt like we were in for it. I was canvassing neighborhoods for Bernie Sanders but I knew he was never going to be given a serious look by the Democratic establishment. White folks in our neighborhood who were for Trump would give lip service to Bernie, and that kind of sentiment fueled the idea that he might be the only one who could beat him. We’ll never know how that would have turned out, unfortunately. But one thing that’s clear is that the Trump phenomenon is a vindication of the power modern media domination, and, to put a finer point to it, mind control. The Apprentice gave rise to its titular character’s aura of invincibility. Here we have the lavish billionaire, the picture of wealth and power, thronged by beautiful elites and backed by ominous music, dangling the sword over outstretched necks of would be sycophants, buoyed by the immense drama of those two famous words…..

And in the end that’s all it took. The rich and middle class Republicans by and large fell behind him like we all knew they would, but much ink has been spilled in these last months about the rest of his voting block, those poor racist white people, and how could they be so stupid to vote for someone who so obviously doesn’t give a shit about them? Did they feel wounded and left behind by 8 years of a “reverse” racist-in-chief, or were they simply sick to death of the status quo and willing to vote for the flamboyant playboy because he at least doesn’t seem like such a phony? I suspect it’s more than a little of both, and more than a lot of decades of misinformation and subterfuge clouding the waters for working people of all colors, leaving the talk shows and comment threads with nothing but vitriol and bad analysis. Given the alternative of a candidate like Sanders, would people see that his brand of populism gave some beef to the airy promises Trump made to bring back manufacturing, or would people just see him as a far out Jewish commie? If Hillary Clinton had not been Hillary Clinton and instead been a woman more in the mold of Elizabeth Warren, would poor white folks have given her more of a shot, or is the horrid sexism she endured a true barometer the attitudes towards women among the working class?

And then there is the whole issue of the term itself. Working class. Working poor. White working class. Blue collar. While there are fairly clear indicators of where we all fall on this ladder based on income, the past few generations have indeed muddied the usage of the term in a variety of ways. One’s upbringing and exposure to media and education may preclude them to a different outlook than those they share an income bracket with. As a child of college educated socialists I certainly viewed politics through a different lens than an old carpenter I once worked with, who thought that global warming was a hoax to sell more textbooks and hated Hillary Clinton not on the basis of her corporate, imperialist worldview but because she had the gall to be an assertive first lady instead of “knowing her place”. And there are certainly those who argue that the working class doesn’t even really exist any more; in the same way that people talk about the vanishing middle class, the attacks on unions have all but eviscerated the ability of working people to organize for their mutual benefit, to the point where working poor is perhaps the only appropriate term.

I am working poor. I live paycheck to paycheck and I was raised by a single mother who lived that way too. Under President Obama, I had health insurance, medicaid for sure but it was enough to get me to the dentist every once in awhile. I also had hope. Not hope in the utopian sense that was broadcast large back in 2008 but hope in a more cautious, realist sense. I have long understood that I was born into the later stages of a cancer. We are abusing the earth at an alarming rate, and the world cannot hold up under the excesses of capitalism for very much longer. I do believe that, for all of his drone strikes and fracking advances, President Obama understood this too. I felt some measure of comfort in the thought that at least he could pilot the sinking ship of neoliberalism with some care and perhaps mercy. For the next four years, I will abandon that hope as he hands the wheel over to a narcissist lunatic. But I will most certainly not give up.

This Friday they will be installing the madman at the White House, and the following day, thousands will march on Washington to demand that their voices be heard above clamour of those who would normalize the denigration of women, the dehumanization of immigrants, and the destruction of resources for poor people the world over. In the coming years some of us may have to make difficult choices about putting our own privilege on the line to help stem the tide of abuse that will undoubtedly fall hardest upon our more vulnerable brothers and sisters. I was raised to think these kinds of actions can not only make a difference, but can be what makes us human. I can only hope that I will be able to find the courage and determination to see that through.

What the Candidates’ Body Language Told Us Last Night

New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/what-the-candidates-body-language-told-us-last-night/

What the Candidates’ Body Language Told Us Last Night

Ever since the first televised presidential debate, in 1960, candidates have been judged not just for what they say, but also forhow they act. Who can forget George H.W. Bush looking at his watch during a debate (as if he had somewhere else to go)? And of course there was the time candidate Donald Trump walked around the stage behind Hillary Clinton as if he were stalking her.

No one remembers what was said during those two debates, but everyone remembers those moments. Why? Nonverbal cues are humans’ most fundamental form of communication. We use them to assess friendliness, competency, danger and veracity—and even to pick our mates. Nonverbal communication—or body language—is hard-wired into our DNA.

Story Continued Below

I have studied nonverbal communication for 45 years, 25 of which I spent as a special agent with the FBI, where my job was to catch spies often using nothing more than body language. What I have learned is not only useful in catching criminals; it can be used to analyze politicians. From the moment the candidates appeared on the debate stage on Thursday, they sent messages with their walks and their waves, their clothes and their smiles. Here’s the story body language told at the debate. Biden’s glabella

When it comes to nonverbals, psychological discomfort is always an attention grabber. When Julián Castro attacked Joe Biden not once but twice, questioning his recall and his policies, Biden squinted and furrowed his glabella (the small areas between the eyes just above nose). This is a classic sign of psychological discomfort—which could signal dislike, disdain or anxiety.

Castro used an unrelenting, machine-gunning verbal technique to go after Biden, and Biden let it rattle him. When someone attacks you like that, it’s best to pause and take a moment to calm yourself. Some might break the tension with a little laugh, a low exhale or a deep breath.

The fact that Biden’s discomfort was brought on by one of the less popular candidates was significant. Glabella furrowing can elicit sympathy from an observer. (Babies develop the ability to furrow their glabellas at 3 to 6 weeks.) But when you see facial displays of psychological discomfort on someone with 40 years of government experience, brought on by a less experienced candidate who isn’t polling as well, it makes you wonder: Is he prepared for the onslaught that will come when he faces off against Donald Trump?

Booker and O’Rourke’s eyes

Cory Booker and Beto O’Rourke both grabbed attention with their speeches on gun control. Their eyes were focused—they didn’t wander all over the room. Their gestures were expansive and emphatic. When people speak passionately, taking up space with their gestures and focusing their gaze, it’s hard to turn away from them. The strong body language conveys that the speaker is not hesitating or equivocating; in other words, it’s a sign of authenticity.

These moments were also effective because the candidates’ strong, decisive speech patterns matched their body language. The brain prefers congruity, when someone’s tone of voice and manner of speaking is in sync with their physicality.

Harris and Buttigieg’s low energy hand gestures

Kamala Harris seemed less passionate compared with the other candidates, especially in the first hour. Her words were well chosen, but her hand gestures were less emphatic—less outward and forceful—than those of her opponents, particularly Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren.

Klobuchar and Warren both gestured with their outstretchedhands to demark or highlight their points and would often touch their chest or breastbone to emphasize how they felt about what they were talking about. Touching the chest is a display of humanity. It signals “I am empathetic; what I am saying is deeply felt.” Booker used a similar gesture, touching his stomach.

Butwhen Harris was trying to be emphatic, notice her elbow was tucked in, the arm was close to her body, and she demarked her statements with a closed fist. She might have set herself up for good soundbites, but these small, closed gestures took away from her message. I saw this when I used to do jury consulting. I would ask jurors about the attorneys’ performance, and they invariably thought attorneys with smaller gestures lacked confidence and self-assurance.

It was Pete Buttigieg, however, a former military officer, who had the smallest gestures on stage. Leaders typically should use broad but smooth gestures. (The brain prefers smoothness—gestures that get your attention but aren’t jittery.)

Cory Booker’s precision grip

Cory Booker likes to speak with what is called a precision grip, where he brings the index finger and thumb together to form a circle. This gesture, common in Mediterranean countries, is used to demonstrate that a cogent thought is being discussed, and the gesture is powerful in saying, “I have thought about this and I am talking about it with precision.”

I didn’t see anyone else on the stage make that gesture. Most made points with their thumbs pressed against up the underside of their index finger—a gesture made famous by Bill Clinton. Pete Buttigieg and sometimes Kamala Harris favored making points with a curled index finger with the thumb pressed behind.None of these gestures are as dramatic or effective as a precision grip.

Tieless Andrew Yang

Yes, clothes send nonverbal messages too. Andrew Yang did not wear a tie to this debate. If he thought it did not matter, he was wrong. He also made a mistake by wearing a lapel-pin flag on the right side of his body, when it should be worn over the heart on the left side. These are small incongruities that stick out to observers, who will focus in on things that look odd or stand out.

So what’s the takeaway? During the debate your brain was busy processing images and words, in that order. You might have thought your favorite candidate had a perfect performance; you might feel indifferent about others. But in time, your subconscious will process all these images and words and will make you take notice of some things you might never have thought about. If you find yourself considering someone you ignored before, or growing more accepting of one candidate, it is no accident.
