A bit misleading
I saw Fareed Zakaria on GPS interview an author about how the U.S. should be aware that our nation is becoming less polluting and more efficient. I am very glad to hear this but it seems a bit misleading. They ended on the reference (but no discussion or development of) Indira Gandhi’s assertion in 1972 that poverty is the greatest polluter.
In actuality, large corporations in the developed countries make a habit of exporting hazardous waste to less educated, more economically strapped countries, which increases environmental pollution, which in turn keeps inhabitants less healthy, more vulnerable to disease. I don’t think we should feel good about this! Quoting something that seems to pertain but goes unexamined is not as honest as it could be.

Democrat nominee
Would you like to know who the Democrat candidate for President will be? Bernie Sanders. He’s the perfect solution for moderates reclaiming their Party from Progressives. Bernie is a politician from Vermont, an immigrant from Brooklyn, and is totally delusional according to his closest relatives. His policy of unlimited entry of illegal immigrants, coupled with free Big Macs at the border has great appeal for most foreigners.
Is he predictable? No. Is he rational? Of course not. So, why would nominate him? Because they have surrendered the 2020 Presidential election against incumbent, Donald Trump. Substituting impeachment is an idea concocted by Adam “owl-eyes” Schiff, one which may be repeated endlessly.
Who can blame Democrats? Elections cost money and appeal mostly to the common man. Voting has become a waste of time and energy. Most Americans don’t have educations, are not lawyers and don’t understand macro-economics.
More importantly, they don’t have a clue about how corruption works ... I mean really works! Take Hunter Biden, for instance ... please, anybody! (Ha! That’s an old joke of mine. It’s still funny.)
The Chinese paid him a billion dollars for his expertise in Haiku self-defense, not realizing Hunter wasn’t the vice president of America. Some may laugh, but what other reason could the communist party be concerned about when hiring a brain-dead, cocaine addict, currently being sued by a strip club dancer? Hunter’s great secret, besides claiming he’s bankrupt, is that he’s not as dumb as he looks.
With the nomination of Bernie Sanders for president, who might be 90 years old when he finally leaves the White House voluntarily or by court order, absolutely no one in the Democrat Party will ever consider voting for a progressive, again. He’s the one element that can bring this country together in a timely fashion ... God willing!
