Joseph Cannon of CannonFire Recovering from a Medical Experience.

As the founder of Daily PUMA I don't come here for the Daily PUMA articles, but rather for the written works of others that are RSS fed onto Daily PUMA. Probably my favorite writer is Joseph Cannon, of CannonFire, who apparently is recovering from a serious medical situation. You can learn more about Joseph's situation here and to wish him a solid recovery.

Should Hillary Clinton and the Democrats invite some of the Republican Presidential Candidates to the Democrat Debates?

The obvious answer is NO, no way should the democrat candidates or democrat party invite any of the republican candidates to the democrat debates or any debate before each party has an official nominee. That's the obvious answer. 

I wonder what the public would think of the democrat party for extending an opportunity to basically give some republican candidates a free shot at the democrats when the democrats might have little to gain.

Do we maybe live in a world where people recognize and admire those who have the lead but still give chances to those who would take them down in an instant? 

Might giving such an opportunity be the genesis to more tolerable relations between the two parties?

Why should the democrat party stay too comfortable when many americans are living paycheck to paycheck?

The only thing missing from the Republican debates is a metal cage surrounding the debaters. Might be a nice gesture to allow a few of the cage match republican debaters a chance outside of the cage.

The Real Email Scandal the Democrat Party needs to deal with.

I won't disclose my financial situation but I finally made a contribution to Hillary Clinton's campaign recently even though I could not afford it. (ha ha). Yes, it was ego driven, I wanted my name put on the wall in the Clinton campaign headquarters. Make a contribution, get your name on the wall. Yes a clever idea, although I don't think the wall is going to be big enough. I also wanted to make sure I EARNED my name on the "Wall of Acclaim" so I made a donation that was many many many times higher than the minimum donation of 5 dollars.

The problem is I keep getting emails asking me to contribute. I just gave a contribution and the democrat email system has no way to riffle out those who just made a donation from those who haven't, and that annoys me. If the democrat email system can't parse out those who just contributed and acknowledge their contribution in future emails, they begin to create ill will among their contributors. I almost sent a second contribution to the Wall of Acclaim thinking the first one did not take. But then my credit card bill came and the credit card I have been diligently trying to pay off went north for the first time in over a year, and frankly it made me wince.

If I were the democrat party I WOULD QUIT SELLING my email lists to an incongruous group of needy people all asking for money and all oblivious to how many others have already asked me for money.

I have some amazing campaign ideas that if sold to either the Republican party or the Democrat party would win them the presidency in 2016, but I have decided I am not going to give them away. If I don't see meaningful change in how the democrat party handles their email messaging, I may actually consider selling my ideas to Donald Trump simply because my ideas would actually help seniors and the economy, which in turn helps everyone else. Sometimes actually having ideas matters more than asking for money to become president.

When Hillary Clinton Lashes out she's called nasty names, when Donald Trump Lashes out he Gains in Popularity and also becomes the First Conservative Ralph Nader.

When I would watch the NBC / Donald Trump show The Apprentice (I stopped watching once I discovered how good The Good Wife was and it was on at the same time on CBS), I was pretty impressed with how Mr. Trump came across and wondered how much of that was manipulated by editing after the fact. 

Since witnessing Mr. Trump's rise in the Republican president polls I must say Mr. Trump has shown an ability to think on his feet when ambushed by the media, such as being accused of being a misogynist. Mr. Trump retorted that it's only Rosie O'Donnell and her big fat head that bugs him (or something like that). Mr. Trump's response was a pretty good comeback considering he was blindsided by the question. I found Mr. Trump's instant retort a peculiarly hilarious response because he admits to doing something, but to only one person, and not only does Mr. Trump believe that Rosie O'Donnell deserves the comments Mr. Trump has made about Rosie in the past, Mr. Trump knows Rosie is a tough enough person to take it and dish it back, basically implying that Rosie is his equal as a sparring partner who also punches back and that's not misogyny, that's a combative form of respect between two people who don't like each other. Whereas a true misogynist would more likely operate more under the cloak of darkness and secrecy such as the KKK when attacking those they don't like.

I also found Mr. Trump's curt and discourteous response about John McCain being a "captured" war hero remarkable as well. And for those who are annoyed by it, lets not forget it was the Barack Obama supporters who probably gave Mr. McCain the biggest insult of all 8 years ago when they said it would not be wise to vote for Mr. McCain for president because he was a cancer risk and at his advanced age it would not be safe to have him for president. That was 8 years ago and Mr. McCain and his now 102 year old mother would beg to differ, and when do the Obama concern trolls about John McCain and his date with cancer as a reason to not vote for Mr. McCain, apologize to Mr. McCain?

Mr. Trump appears to have become the conservative version of Ralph Nader. Republicans have spent decades witnessing Democrats whining and loathing about the U.S. as a way to gain votes, yet for the first time in quite a while the Republican Party has been revitalized by Mr. Trump's Ralph Nader conservatism firebrand. However, what Mr. Trump appears to lack are some examples of having actually achieved Ralph Nader type of victories from a conservative point of view in his past in which he fought for the common man and woman, and won. 

If Mr. Trump is now able to spot good ideas and make them part of his presidential platform going forward, that could be good enough to make him the republican nominee and a realistic challenger to "presumptive democrat nominee", Hillary Clinton.

And all of this brings us to the point of this article. While the media has been whipped up into a frenzy over Mr. Trump's political rambunctiousness, one takeaway not yet taken away is if Hillary Clinton ever behaved in the manner that Donald Trump has behaved, the non complementary names she would be called would stretch a mile long and a mile deep, and that is something I hope the Republican Party AND Progressives as well will accept some "mea culpa" for and tone down their "Attack Hillary Rhetoric" going forward. 

Or are only men presidential candidates allowed to whine and complain about things?

Neo Con Dingalings, Benghazi, and the Current Attack on the Internet that is being Reported as not Happening.

One of the "outrages" that neocons had over Benghazi was the blaming of the attack on a documentary video that had come out prior to the attack. NeoCons outrage centered on the documentary lie. You see, Neo Cons were DEMANDING that the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton bow at the feet of the terrorists and claim defeat and by instead incorrectly crediting a documentary the terrorists were denied credit for their attack. lol, I'm serious, this is how deranged neocons can be when it comes to Obama and Clinton. 

According to Neocons, Obama and Clinton were supposed to elevate, empower and credit terrorists groups for Benghazi rather than minimize their act of terrorism. And lets not forget that EVERYDAY in the U.S. 22 veterans commit suicide. Rather than help lower that number, Benghazi nuts want to forever go on and on about Benghazi even at the expense of diverting attention away from reducing DAILY VETERAN SUICIDES in the U.S.

Over the past few days, there have been several server outages. From Airlines to Wall Street, there have been significant outages that have been DOWNPLAYED by the media, even the California Bureau of Automotive repair was down a day. If the reports in the media about these outages had been more dire, panic would have ensued and there would be even more internet traffic, possibly compromising the internet's capacity even more.

As you can see both examples above point to a KNOWN type of defense against terrorist attacks, it's called MINIMIZING the attack in the media in an effort to DEMORALIZE the attackers. So as the Neocons continue to blather on about Benghazi and condemning Obama and Clinton for blaming the Benghazi attack on a documentary, just remember that the worst thing one can do for a terrorist in this day and age of social media is to admit a terrorist attack was 100% successful.
