Breaking News, Kamala Harris Busing Trip apparently was 10 to 20 minutes. Nobody was against short busing trips, they were against 45 minute to 2 hour Busing Trips!

Kamala Harris might be confused. Busing that is a 10 to 15 minute trip was not controversial back in the day for MOST Parents. Twice a day 30 minute to 90 minute busing expeditions is what the MAJORITY of Parents of all ethnicities were deriding and vehemently opposed to.

How does a candidate backtrack from trying to equate Busing controversies with her own experience when her own experience was not what the vast majority of those who were bused experienced? 

Not only does the public have to deal with Knee Jerk Media adulation over Kamala Harris's initial out of nowhere busing screed, but even after the media reviews the claim being made by Harris, the media still misses the most salient point, "it's the distance and time to get there, stupid".

An excerpt from Wikipedia regarding Busing in Virginia in the early 70's....
In April 1971, in the case Bradley v. Richmond School Board, Federal District Judge Robert R. Merhige, Jr., ordered an extensive citywide busing program in Richmond, Virginia. When the massive busing program began in the fall of 1971, parents of all races complained about the long rides, hardships with transportation for extracurricular activities, and the separation of siblings when elementary schools at opposite sides of the city were "paired", (i.e., splitting lower and upper elementary grades into separate schools).
Being on a school bus for 10 minutes to 15 minute twice a day IS NOT THE SAME THING as a 30 minute to 90 minute hour bus ride twice a day. 

Kids who were being bused great distances or who spent a great deal of time on a bus were being denied after school activities. Bus safety was basically non existent. Bus exhausts were pitch black, stop and start traffic was probably gassing the poor kids on long trips, there were no seat belts, and buses were constantly vibrating due to their suspension systems so kids really couldn't even read, and the buses were LOUD.

Once again our Over Anxious, Fake, Hidden, or Stupid Media roars its head and promotes a misleading narrative, even after researching the misleading narrative they still promote the wrong narrative.

How WASPS, Wealthy Aging Successful Political Speakers, have thrown Baby Boomers and Seniors under the Bus.

As our Political Leaders age, they remain relevant by glomming on to youth oriented issues even as they throw their own similarly aged lifetime supporters under the Bus. Wealthy Aging Successful Political Speakers (aka, WASPS) have their own terrific healthcare, their lifetime followers, not necessarily so. 
The stinging omission by WASPS of their similarly aged supporters includes not rebuking accusations of racism when Baby Boomers dare to compare their plight to that of the Unending Undocumented Migration to the USA. 


The WASPS refuse to ask NATO to come to Central America to stabilize the region, making both Political Parties equally culpable in the massive Undocumented Migration that is suffocating the USA's social Safety Net for Baby Boomers and Seniors. 


The Average Life Expectancy in the USA has been dropping for several years now, thanks to the WASPS and their desire to remain relevant at the expense of their most ardent supporters, Baby Boomers and Seniors.

Barack Obama was never properly credited by the Media for some of his Accomplishments.

Probably what Barack Obama did best was allow for certain financial constraints to be placed upon the Banking Institutions so that all future financial transactions had a better chance of surviving. Obama also curtailed the number of troops in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Obama also was an advocate of renewable energy. 

Obama definitely brought a certain regality to the White House. However sometimes I felt Obama was really a banker in disguise. Arianna Huffington aptly called the Barack Obama Administration BankCentric. Obama wanted somebody else to crunch numbers so that he would look good. Obama most definitely was disrespected by most of the Republican Politicians in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Sometimes it would appear that Obama would pivot to the center just to gall the Republicans who would basically hate anything that Obama wanted to do, it made the always say No way Republicans look bad on several occasions.

But there were things that Barack Obama did not get credit for from the Media that probably helped elect Donald Trump.

1. Barack Obama resided over the first DROP in U.S. Life Expectancy over the past several decades.

2. Generic Drug Prices suddenly skyrocketed during Obama's second term in office in a bigly way.

3.  Barack Obama was incapable of feeling the pain of the Heartland and beyond when it came those who had HELOC's that were about to reset. The concept of offering a HELOC renewal so that homeowners who had been successfully making their interest only payments for the past 10 years, could have another 10 years of interest only payments was completely beyond Barack Obama's comprehension. To understand how an obtuse stance this was, Anyone who had been making their interest only payments on their HELOC's for the past 10 years most certainly had seen their home values return to levels well above where they were at the time of the 2008 Crash. In essence Obama's Bankateers created rules so stringent that people better off then they were when then 2008 Crash hit, were still going to lose their home if they could not afford the HELOC reset. For a guy who got help on his first home purchase in a Bigly way, it was the act of a Narcissist unable to feel the pain of Long Time Homeowners. And it would not surprise me if the pain of losing a home influenced the life expectancy of those crushed by easily fixable banking rules.

These three issues rocked the Heartland while the Media and Barack Obama's Administration snoozed. It's where Hidden News had its baptism, and whenever I see Barack Obama paraded as the Ferris Buehler of Presidents, these three facts need to be brought up so its clear that every President had their faults, some are just brought out a lot more by our biased Media.

Did Donald Trump Backward's Engineer a Tariff, No Tariff coup with Mexico as the Target.

Donald Trump recently announced a 5% tariff that would grow by 5% at certain intervals if Mexico did not make more of an effort to stop the Passage of Undocumented through Mexico. Within mere days of this announcement, the Trump administration announced that Mexico had agreed to crack down on Undocumented Migration.

Daily Puma alleges that for the past few months the U.S. had been negotiating with Mexico to prevent or restrict the flow of Undocumented through their Country and into the U.S.

Additionally, previously cut economic aid to key Central American Countries that were having difficulty preventing the exodus of Frightened Citizens from their own countries has probably now been restored, irrespective of Trump's threats of tariffs against Mexico.

DailyPUMA finds the entire scenario Implausible. DailyPUMA believes that Donald Trump publicly threatened a Tariff against Mexico knowing an agreement was either in place, or about to be agreed to with Mexico.

DailyPuma also believes that if the Trump Administration made the announcement of an agreement, we should not believe it unless it is corroborated by Mexico.

Having not done any research for this article, DailyPUMA just now, after having written the above, did ONE google search and discovered an assertion by the New York Times that the Mexico Undocumented Migration Agreement was months in the making rather than a miraculous response to Trump's very recent Tariff threat.

This is called backwards engineering a deal. Wait until the deal is either done, or almost done, then initiate a bold action just before the agreement is announced, making it seem like it was the bold action that created the agreement, when it was actually the hard work of negotiators on both sides spending months ironing out an agreement.

The sad part to all of this is Trump should just have his wall, and everyone move on to other matters. Instead, this constant posturing and manipulating followed by accusations from the other side of posturing and manipulating when they are doing the same thing is mind numbingly endless, until something really bad happens. 

Is this the best our political parties can do?

Donald Trump's Most Famous MeMe, literally.

Donald Trump's most famous "meme".

"No, Russia did not help me get elected. 
You know who got me elected? 
You know who got me elected? 
I got me elected. 
Russia didn't help me at all."

Donald Trump could have magnanimously stated, "The American People got me elected". But he didn't. And we can pretty much conclude Donald Trump's Narcissism is in control, probably at all times.

Apparently Donald Trump never met a McCain he didn't despise, including the Battle Ship named after John McCain.

I keep wanting it to be an April fools joke, Donald Trump allegedly did not want to see the Battle Ship named after John McCain on his recent trip to Japan. 

The man who evaded serving his country actually having scorn for a Man who did serve his country? Trump is now deny claiming he knew nothing about the McCain Cover up. 

When Trump takes a walk on the U.S.S. John McCain and can be seen posing next to McCain's name, then his claim will have some merit.

If All Life is Sacred, then the Government needs to be pampering All Pregnant Woman.

If every life is Sacred, then it stands to reason that a Pregnant Woman's needs, all of them, need to fulfilled by the same Government that is taking away their right to chose regarding their pregnancy.

Once a Pregnancy is diagnosed, the Pregnant Woman should have the right to be taken care of by the State, this would mean, housing, clothing, food, and all healthcare. Since the Pregnancy could affect the Woman's ability to work, the Pregnant woman should also be given a wage that would not be deducted from the Government housing, clothing, food and healthcare that she would be receiving.

Of course the Government would object to this because there would be Woman out there trying to get pregnant for all the benefits they would receive. By the end of a Pregnancy a woman may have been able to bank 10,000 to 20,000 dollars since virtually all of their expenses would be met by the Government and they could keep their earnings while they were pregnant.

Of course many woman would still want the right to choose. The point however remains the same, If the Government is going to restrict medically accepted practices, and if the reason being given is that all Life is Sacred, then the Government needs to also put up the funding that provides the funding to ensure the sacredness of life. 

If the Government can supply funding for abortions as it has in the past, then the Government can also supply funding for the Sacredness of Life.

How would the Judicial system respond to the argument that the State would have to assist woman who become pregnant otherwise their Sacredness motif is not being fulfilled by the State? 

Would not the State have to honor the credo of "All Life is Sacred" that motivated the ban on abortions? It is pretty evident that Government would never agree to provide a significant amount of funding to all woman who become pregnant, hence the ban on abortions would need to be banned because Government did not meet the "All Life is Sacred" credo that generated the ban on abortions in several States.

Democrats and Republicans need to rally together to improve Central America and Puerto Rico's future.

One thing that seems somewhat evident, Opposing Political Parties don't appear able to negotiate anymore. If I were a Democrat, I would agree to suspend the ongoing Financial Corruption issues Trump has likely been a party to and ask Republicans to join in fixing both Puerto Rico and Central America.

Today CNN is reporting Trump and Kushner are working on a Middle Eastern Economic package plan. Trump either seems fixated on a Military economy, or, Trump is simply incapable of doing more than one or two things at a time. 

While Trump may be able to recognize a flank if it appears on his dinner plate, when it comes to regions that flank the United States such as Puerto Rico and Central America, Trump apparently has no appetite for ensuring their stability.

The Middle East is a customer of ours when it comes to military weaponry. Central America is probably not able to afford weapons from the U.S., and Puerto Rico's economy apparently is not large enough to support military operations and equipment, so it appears Trump has no interest helping either region.

Give Trump his wall, suspend the investigation into his alleged financial misdeeds, and in exchange lets fix Central America and Puerto Rico.

Denying Abortion Rights will create many additional Compliance Issues for the States who are passing Anti Abortion Laws.

Using the "All life is Sacred" meme, Here is a DailyPUMA list of Unintended Consequences Anti Abortion legislation could force a State to comply with. 
"All Life is Sacred" means...
  • No more mandatory military drafts, If all life is sacred, then we can't force anyone to risk their life by being forced to enlist in any Military branch. 
  • Monitoring of Pregnant Women on a daily basis and providing food, clothing and shelter, including three solid meals everyday to ensure they are providing proper nutrition to their fetus.
  • Proper funding of prisons so that inmates have humane sleeping facilities, exercise facilities, comfortable temperature, and healthy meals.
  • Strict Enforcement of all Hospice related companies and locations to ensure that no life is being accelerated to death, Strict Enforcement that is NOT presently occurring.
  • ALL Undocumented would have to be considered sacred as well and allowed access to whatever help they need to survive.
  • Lawsuits against Law Enforcement and the Legal Community for under Investigating and under representing cases involving the Elderly in the area of EMTALA (Patient Dumping), a fact easily proven via statistics.
  • Lawsuits against Unenforced and Un investigated Aged and Vulnerable Abuse, a fact that can also be easily proved via statistics.
  • Lawsuits against Lack of Legal Representation for victims based on their age, easily proven by checking how many lawsuits have been filed annually for Seniors 80 and older.
DailyPUMA will add to this list. If the States who want to eradicate Abortion do not also comply with the list above, then their anti Abortion laws would also need to be rescinded on the grounds of not arbitrarily creating laws they will follow while not complying with the spirit of the same law.

Donald Trump and the Democrat House of Representatives won't ask for NATO's help in Central America. Why?

If the United States "stabilizes" Struggling Central American countries such as El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala so their citizens don't feel the need to flee, the U.S. would be accused of tyranny. If the United States does nothing, literally millions of Migrants and Undocumented will be on our borders over the course of a year or two.

Something is going on that does not make sense. It is time for the U.S. to ask NATO to step in and Stabilize Central America. Clearly Trump is afraid to step into Central America, which he probably views as a shit hole region, yet Central America is in our own backyard.

Nothing good can result from the United States refusing to Stabilize Central America. As it stands now, it will probably cost more to do nothing and absorb a few million more fleeing Central American Citizens than it would to call NATO in to help.

The U.S. Military Budget keeps being amped up, yet we can't even help Central America become a poor man's Hawaii? 

Why? 

What is really going on? You should care MORE about Central America and the toxins that are being leeched upon Central American Citizens by alleged Drug Cartels than any other political issue of the day.

By not focusing on Central America, our Political system has been hijacked between two Political groups, one Political group supports a Border Wall, the other Political group is opposed to a Border Wall.

Meanwhile, NOBODY talks about Central America and what it would take to fix the place up so it was a destination spot instead of a place to flee from.

Democrat Party needs NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket Style of Presidential Debate Competition among their 20 and growing 2020 Presidential Candidates.

A Presidential Bracket Debate Style is essential after the catastrophic methods used in years past by both parties in which either too many Debate Participants are squeezed into the main event while other lesser known candidates trying to establish themselves are banished into a cursory Debate that is just not taken seriously by the media nor the public.

Having 20 Democrat Presidential Candidates debate in one setting is unrealistic. Only allowing Candidates with a certain minimum percentage of popularity or higher to appear in a debate destroys the spirit of the Underdog having a fair opportunity. John McCain was polling around 1% in the 2008 Republican Contest one year before the Presidential elections yet he became the Republican Nominee, because he was still given a chance to debate.

The DNC should adopt a Debate method that allows all candidates to win their way to the top based on a Bracket style of Debating. Depending on the number of Candidates, Brackets should be created in groups of four. Four Dems debate at a time, Two move on to the next round. Those who don't make it can still get future opportunities in what would be a Losers Bracket.

Each Presidential Debate Bracket would be "seeded" with one member being from the top 4 or 5 in the polls. The other three positions would be filled with lower "seeded" Candidates.  Each Presidential Debate Bracket MUST have at least one women in it. If there are not enough women to place one per Bracket, then an additional All Women only Bracket would be created so each Woman running would get two chances to advance.

The Democrat Presidential Debates would be held once a week, the same time and day every week, never more than four candidates per debate. The entire Presidential Debate process could take 3 to 5 months to establish the top tier of candidates but would create a true opportunity for Democrat Candidates to establish themselves.

It is essential that only four candidates appear in a each Preliminary Presidential Debate so that those watching can really focus on the lower number of candidates. Lesser candidates can create a faster pace while giving the viewing audience a better method to compare Candidates within the Debate.

Donald Trump cannot sit on his Wall without having a Great Fall.

Focus grows on the massive increase in Border Crossings. Virtually all Undocumented, after being intaked, are being bussed into U.S. cities and released after being given court dates that could be 2 to 5 years from now. Donald Trump may lose his Border Wall Advantage if he doesn't take additional steps.

Trump's refusal to meet with Central American Political Leaders who are being dominated by Drug Cartels will be his swan song. The Drug Cartels are creating fear and desperation among citizens from Central American Countries. The cartels advertise on radio encouraging frightened citizens to flee to America before the Border Wall goes up. Then the Drug Cartels profit by transporting the fleeing citizens to America for between $3,000 to $9,000 dollars per person! 

Trump can no longer keep strumming the same theme that the Undocumented are all riff raff, criminals, drug addicts and disgusting people, and that a Border Wall will solve all the Undocumented Problems.

The U.S. is spending tens of billions of dollars militarily in far off lands while apparently refusing to set foot in Central America. Trump has now cut off aid to Central America. If Americans were polled, I am certain that 85% of the respondents would prefer we clean up Central America and make if safe, versus continue to do nothing while spending tens of billions of dollars Militarily in other places around the world.

What was it the Republican Party said under George Bush Jr., paraphrasing, "We have to fight terrorism where it starts so we don't have to fight it in the U.S".  Um, Flooding the U.S. with undocumented is a form of Economic Terrorism and Human Rights Mayhem, and dilutes tax based benefits for Americans who have paid their taxes for decades. The fomenting of such tactics has started in the United States own Backyard while our Government, be it Bush Jr., Obama or now Trump, continue to look way downstream.

If the best Trump can do is to pull funding from the afflicted Central American Countries so the Drug Cartels can have even more free reign, then Trump will be a one term President, and thankfully so.

Donald Trump's Reported Behavior in the Mueller Report creates a new Phrase, Bubble Indemnity.

Somehow, Donald Trump has managed to cause the creation of a new pseudo phrase, first coined here by me right now, Bubble Indemnity. The Mueller Report reveals that on more than one occasion Donald Trump instructed others to commit Obstruction of Justice on his behalf and end the Mueller Investigation, but Trump's orders were refused by Trump subordinates.

So lets analyze this, if Trump had had his Obstruction Instructions followed, the Mueller investigation would have been over, but Trump would have obstructed justice. But because Trump's people did not follow Trump's Obstruction Instructions to end the Mueller Investigation, Trump's Obstruction Instruction did not metamorphosize into actual Obstruction of Justice. 

Instruction of Obstruction is not Obstruction of Justice, even though in the past Instruction of Obstruction has been incorrectly used to declare Obstruction of Justice. Since the Mueller Investigation was allowed to finish while mentioning that Trump tap danced on the Obstructing Justice line, then one could conclude that Obstruction of Justice did not overtly happen.

However, it appears that Trump wins either way. If Trump's Instruction to end the Mueller Investigation prematurely had been followed, who would have been left to declare Obstruction of Justice? But because the Mueller Investigation was allowed to finish, then Obstruction of Justice charges remain murky since Trump apparently gave an Instruction that was not actually implemented. Seems like a Bubble Indemnity for Donald Trump, ready to pop, but remaining unpopped.

If Trump didn't fire anyone for not obeying his Instruction to Obstruct, then maybe he has wiggle room. But what if Trump gave Instruct Obstruction, the Orders wre not followed, and then that person was either fired demoted in some way? Perhaps that pops Trump's Bubble Indemnity.

Fareed Zakaria GPS Editorial, April 14, 2019, A must watch for Democrats hoping to Dethrone Trump in 2020.

I really don't watch much Cable TV News since witnessing the 2008 Debacle in which the Media lifted Barack Obama past a more popular Hillary Clinton. So Fareed Zakaria was a first time revelation for me.
Really a must watch 4 minute Editorial from the April 14, 2019 Sunday GPS show he hosts. The Borderwall will come back to haunt the Democrats in 2020 when it comes to the Presidency.

Kirsten Gillibrand being Targeted by Conservatives to get her out of the 2020 Presidential Race.

There are many more men than women running for the 2020 Democrat Presidential nomination. Kirstin Gillibrand seems to be the one being attacked at the moment. First it was Biden, now it is Gillibrand. Part of me is annoyed that the Republicans are going after a Woman Presidential Candidate when the Women are in the minority of Candidates. 

And yet, a Presidential Candidate has to be tough to weather all attacks. Gillibrand said Tactile instead of Tactical in a resent speech in regards to Tactical Nuclear Weapons. The mispronunciation of the word tactical is being used to try and socially humiliate her. However, I hope people see through the attempt and focus more on Gillenbrand's message that Tactile and Tactical Nuclear Weapons are a gateway to a full blown Nuclear War, and that matters way more than using the word Tactile instead of Tactical.

Trump's plan to place The Undocumented in Sanctuary Cities was a Brilliant Political Move, but now we will hear Cries of Indignation from Pelosi, Democrats, and the Media.

While Democrats accuse many in the Republican Party of being Climate Change Denialists, the same can be said about Democrats who curry favor with all by being for Sanctuary Cities, only to cry like Snowflakes when it is revealed that Trump wanted to place the Undocumented in Sanctuary City States.

I am frustrated by a Democrat Party that stands for all the feel good things in life but then refuses to take responsibility for their stance. 

The proper response to Trump's plan in this instance would have been, "Bring it on, Mr. Trump, Bring it On". 800,000 Undocumented later and there would have been upheaval in many Sanctuary Cities. 

How can this Snowflake posturing continue to go on by Pelosi and the Democrats?
