Libertarian (on the ballot in 35 states /Green party in 22 states/Constitution Party in 21 states). Why aren't they able to get their messages out so we might find some other people qualified to be in the political arena that has become less than mediocre?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       PS I believe if we look into it, we'll find the Major parties control the rules to this important decision.

                         1. In all the professional leagues, it seems that signing a legal contract to perform a service for someone is meaningless. Athletes who sign these contracts expect the teams to abide and fulfill them. But when they (while under these contracts) decide it not enough they ignore them; one player this week didn't show up for work (even though he's being paid $14 million is contracted for one more year) What if you or I would try something similar at our place of employment? I guess this is something the powers that be want our young people to learn early on about the haves and have nots.    

                          2. And we have these sports pundants who are telling these young baseballers that after all the effort and sacrifice they put in to get to the major leagues (Pitchers) that a no hitter is no longer an important event. I'm sure growing up and dreaming of the big leagues and pitching a no hitter has to be forgotten. By the way (for all you pundants)  there have been only 323 no-hitters in the 376000 games played in major leagues. Seems to me that's pretty special.

 7/12/24                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    So Mr. Clooney (the actor) announces the other day (in an op-ed) that President Biden is not the person he knew from 2010. He states he has seen his abilities diminishing the last few years; I paraphrase. Yet he's been campaigning for him to the extent of a giant money raising show, where he and Pres' Obama and Clinton appeared on stage with him, laughing and hugging, a great show in front of a massive crowd. In the end they raised $23 million. Was this the man he now says is not competent to finish his time in office.                                                                                                                                                I have a lot of questions. if Mr.  Clooney knew these things all the while why would he collect $23 million for a man he knew wasn't able to do the job?  #2 are the networks (who have also turned on the president) in the same situation, hiding what they knew while they lauded him these past three years. Mr. President with friends like this, I think Mr. Trump might not be your #1 concern.
