Progressives keep missing the point about Donald Trump.

Donald Trump was a private businessman. His indiscretions are related to his business dealings and his personal life. Trumpians see a distinction with a difference when they talk about missing Clinton Emails versus Trump's sex life or his business dealings.

What was it about Hillary Clinton's emails that Conservatives think Hillary Clinton got away with? Conservatives think that Hillary Clinton sent emails on her private server to her own contacts and possibly discussed potential economic opportunities gained through her work  as Secretary of State, that would enrich herself, her family, or Business Associates of either herself or Bill Clinton. 

The FBI requested that all related government emails be turned over. Hillary Clinton most likely did this. Then, Hillary Clinton had all the other non government related emails destroyed. After Hillary Clinton had the non government related emails destroyed, curious Republicans realized that if there was a smoking gun, it would not be in the government related emails, it would actually be in the NON-Government related emails.

One of the first points Hillary Clinton's attorneys and Hillary Clinton herself made was that any communication she had with the government could be found by looking at the Government Servers, and both Hillary Clinton and her lawyers were right. Any communication that Hillary Clinton had with the government could also be found on the government servers.

But it was the non-government related emails that Conservatives and possibly the FBI later on realized were just as important, but by then it was too late as the FBI had  told Hillary Clinton's attorneys that non Government Related emails could be destroyed since the Goverment Related Emails had been turned over to the FBI.

Of course the failsafe response from Hillary Clinton supporters would be, could Donald Trump or the Republican National Convention Committee pass the same test that they wanted Hillary Clinton to take, which would be the reviewing of all of their emails just as they were demanding of Hillary Clinton's emails on her private server? The obvious and overwhelming answer is, no, neither Donald Trump nor the Republican National Convention Committee could probably pass the all encompassing email related tests they wanted to inflict on Hillary Clinton.

However, the underlying meme remains, Conservatives believe that Hillary Clinton got away with something when she destroyed her own non government related emails, but what she got away with, no one may ever know.

So in response Donald Trump is now getting his WELL DESERVED comeuppance. And yet, it still won't change the underlying narrative from the Conservative point of view that Hillary Clinton was a politician in a position of authority who may have co-mingled her political duties with private business objectives and then gotten away with it when she was able to destroy all of her non-government emails, even though the destruction of the remaining emails was done via her attorneys and with the FBI's blessing.

Conservatives will also see Donald Trump's comeuppance as political payback for what happened to Hillary Clinton, and once again they will point out that Donald Trump was a private businessman and Hillary Clinton was a politician and fourth in line for the presidency during the first Obama term and the two situations do not warrant the same level of punishment.

Lets not forget Bill Clinton's soliciting for personal donations among those who had already donated to his charitable Foundation. This too raised eyebrows among Conservatives and made many wonder if Hillary Clinton had in any way used her Secretary of State worldwide connections to benefit herself or Bill Clinton's Foundation. Even Chelsea Clinton objected to Bill Clinton asking for personal donations after a donation had already been made to his foundation by wealthy benefactors with ties to other countries.

It should be noted that Bill Clinton was receiving a salary of one dollar a year from his Foundation. Bill Clinton was put in a lose lose situation. If he had been paid a salary, any salary over 250,000 dollars a year would have been publicized by Conservatives and used against him. So instead he took a one dollar a year salary and then hit up his wealthy Foundation benefactors to make additional donations towards his annual Foundation salary.

DailyPUMA does not know what the winning solution would have been. The Clinton Foundation employees a couple thousand people who make modest salaries and in return do good work around the globe. Yet somehow it all got thrown together into one big bowl of goop that gave Conservatives a wedge to make the Clinton's look sneaky or greedy no matter what they did.

Conservatives will now see whatever happens to Trump as retribution for what happened to the Clintons, and will shake their heads because in their minds what a private citizen did as a private citizen is not the same as what an established politician may have done while then being allowed to destroy the evidence.

DailyPUMA believes the best thing the Democrats can do going forward is to mend their own relationship with Middle America, otherwise the 44% to 45% popularity that Donald Trump presently has will never forgive, nor forget.

Donald Trump's Strange Day, on the same day two of his inside people are convicted, Mollie Tibbetts body is found, allegedly dead at the hands of an illegal alien's disgusting actions.

The rift between Conservatives and Progressives, grows. On the day when Progressives are celebrating two of Donald Trump's insiders, Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, for being found guilty of numerous charges I won't get into, Mollie Tibbett's body was retrieved by the Illegal alien who allegedly stalked and murdered her over a month ago.

Somehow on what should have been the worst day of Trump's presidency, his biggest claim about illegals killing American's, comes true.

If Progressives simply focus on Trump's defeats and ignore what happened to Mollie Tibbetts, they simply prove to Trump's supporters how indifferent they are to the plight of American Citizens. While Progressives continue to chortle about Trump's allegedly racist supporters and Trump's law breaking cohorts, Middle America feels pain that just does not register with Big City Progressives. 

Trump has managed to become a true enigma, saying many many things that just don't ring true, encrusted with  observations that ARE true, or at the very least, accurate.

If Progressives only focus on Trump's inaccuracies and ignore Trump's accurate observations, we may see a Trump re-election in 2020. Will late night television hosts who regularly hammer on Trump mention Mollie Tibbetts at all? If not, then they just prove they are a big part of why the U.S. debilitating divide continues to expand.

(quick update: Monday 12:15am August 27, 2018) The accused in the murder of Mollie Tibbett's lawyer is claiming that his client is not an illegal immigrant. Progressives are also clamoring because the Tibbett's family does not want to politicize the issue. This is how Progressives stay out of touch. When the news first broke that the accused was in the U.S. illegally, Progressives said nothing. As soon as any wiggle room of doubt and the family's wishes were known, Progressives went on the offensive. This is what drives DailyPUMA nuts. The inability to credit Trump for any of his concerns, but then go on the offensive if any new data contradicts the original meme. It's why Middle American and Conservatives will hold on even tighter to Mr. Trump.

Why does the Pee Pee tape matter more than Obama's Bible Thumping, Gun Loving, Bitter comment?

Even with Russian Collusion,Hillary Clinton should have won the 2016 Presidential election by 5 to 7 million votes. The Democrats made a quid pro deal between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama that did not take into account the American People. The Quid Pro Quo deal between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would ignore Bernie Sander's and his disingenuous attacks, and of course, Hillary Clinton would also not criticize Obama about anything that happened during his presidency. In exchange, Barack and Michelle Obama would staunchily support Hillary Clinton at the 2016 Democrat Convention.

If we backwind history a bit, remember it was Barack Obama who won a Nobel Peace Prize without really doing anything to do deserve it. It was Oprah Winfrey and the Obama's who attempted to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago, of all places. 

Unfortunately, Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama's arrival in Europe became a bigger story than the Olympic Selection Committee they were to present to, and the U.S. did not even make it to the final round for consideration for the 2016 Olympics. 

And, of course, prior to being elected, Barack Obama had uttered his infamous bitter, gun loving, bible thumping comment about Inner America.

The Obama administration further alienated inner America with the "Your House is not a Bank" meme. After Obama left office, suddenly Homes once again could be looked upon as a bank to pay off higher interest rate credit cards. 

Ultimately people should be able to decide if they want to pay down higher interest rate debt by taking equity out of their home, especially if they can cut their monthly overall bills by several hundreds of dollars. 

Obama's policy was a two tiered gut punch to the American People. First, your House is not a Bank, and then, when HELOC's started resetting in 2014 through 2016, there was no discernible effort made to allow HELOC's to be renewed for another 10 year period with interest only payments. 

DailyPUMA believes that Obama's obtuseness regarding the 10 year resetting HELOC crisis, in conjunction with Obama's "bitter, bible thumping, gun loving" comment set the stage for Hillary Clinton's defeat. When Hillary Clinton did not saying anything regarding resetting HELOC's that were causing millions of homeowners serious financial problems, it cemented her willingness to be a quid pro quo politician in exchange for the presidency. 

DailyPUMA believes Hillary Clinton's silence caused a shift in moderate voters from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump. And every moderate vote that shifted from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump became a 1 to 2 split. One Moderate Hillary Clinton Voter shifting to Donald Trump created a two vote difference, whereas Barack and Michelle Obama's tremendous Democrat Convention support simply refocused Progressives back to Hillary Clinton, Progressives who were never going to vote for Donald Trump.

When DailyPUMA adds it all up, there was a clear and consistent line against Middle America that caused passive moderates to become protest votes for Donald Trump.

The mistakes continue to pile on as now Democrats are working hard to shame Donald Trump every chance they get, as if in some way that will drive Donald Trump voters to them. The American people are not that stupid, when a politician is vilified no matter what he says or does, his supporter will usually double down on that president and even attract new support. If you doubt DailyPUMA, think back to Barack Obama and how we won his second term by an even larger margin. Barack Obama was treated by Conservatives exactly the same way that Progressives are now treating Donald Trump.

Even if the Pee Pee Tape exists, even if other Trump denials become truths, if they all happened when he was a private citizen, he will get a pass that was not given to Bill Clinton because Bill Clinton was always in government. Well, and of course, we know that Republican Politicians in general tend to be hypocrites when it comes to forcing the Clintons to testify under oath even as Both Bush Presidents and their cabinet ignored subpoenas. 

But the point still remains, a private citizen behaving badly is considered less of an issue than a government official allegedly abusing their power. DailyPUMA suggests the Democrats need to re-establish a bond with Inner America that is not about Trump.

Barack Obama was elected even though he made off putting remarks about Inner America and then doubled down when he came up with no plan for millions of HELOC's that reset during his final 3 years in office. Yet now Democrat Politicians hope the Pee Pee Tape exists so that Donald Trump will be humiliated from office.  Do you see how daffy that looks to Inner America?

There is nothing Trump can say or do that Progressives will agree with...

There is nothing Trump can say or do that Progressives will agree with... unless it is "I am resigning effective immediately", and DailyPUMA has a problem with that.

Recently Mr. Trump spoke about the 2018 fires in California. Trump's main point was that too much water is diverted back to the Pacific Ocean and not enough is harbored throughout California so that more water is available at shorter distances to fight fires that now can occur all along California's sprawling landscape. 

The second pont Mr. Trump made was that there is not enough clear cutting in California so once a fire starts it spreads farther and faster.

I agree with both points Mr. Trump made and the evidence probably agrees with him. The current 2018 California fires have now been called the biggest ever on record, and at least one of the areas that is burning has not burned for 40 years. Clearly, some clear cutting was needed during that  40 year time span and apparently was never done.

As for harboring water, California voters approved some type of water reservoir system several years ago and the money was used to create methods for moving water from the Northern Part of the State to the Southern Part of the State. The Analogy that DailyPUMA can think of is having solar energy without the battery back-up for off peak hours. Solar is great when the sun is out, but when the Sunsets come was extra energy during the day stored to batteries or some type of dynamo system for the night time? Same thing with water, when it rains a lot, sure it is useful to be able to move the water around, but it's also useful to have stored water to move around when necessary and during droughts.

Trump's assertions about clear cutting and water storage were immediately ridiculed by the Progressive Movement and the State of California. Here's hoping California Progressives recognize the need for some clear cutting and for the storage of water throughout California so rainy seasons result in water saved for drought seasons and for fires.

If Trump didn't say it, it would never be said, and we would be living the equivalent of fake news in California in which the truth is never spoken if it makes the existing Progressive Movement look less than stellar.

DailyPUMA has an alarming theory that whenever Trump makes a statement that should be taken to heart, and isn't, it just solidifies his own base and the possibly unnecessary war mongering mentality he gets fixated on. Maybe if Progressives warmed up to some of Trump's observations, the need to fight wars and run up military costs wouldn't be so prevalent.

The second theory is the best way to win the swing voters over to Trump's side is to periodically make comments that are not that outrageous, but get amped up as being outrageous by his zealous detractors.

Barack Obama's Failure to Apologize for his own Borderline Racist Shortcomings continues to Divide the United States.

When Barack Obama made his pre 2008 comment about huge swaths of America's heartland being bitter, bible clinging, gun loving Americans, he placed himself on the periphery of being a racist. When Barack Obama either looked the other way or simply refused to address struggling American Homeowners who needed to be helped when their 2004 to 2006 HELOC's were resetting 10 years later, from 2014 to 2016, he basically became a President who could not feel the obvious pain of his constituents.

Obama's refusal to feel Middle America and the Rustbelt's Pain continues to haunt the Democrat Party. Obama loyalists continue to pine for the good old days when America was respected in the World and Obama was a Civil President.  

The Obama loyalists seem to have forgotten the many many million of homeowners who received no help for their resetting HELOC's from 2014 through 2016, even among Homeowners who made their interest only payments on their HELOC's for the prior 10 years. Homeowners who had made their interest only payments for the prior 10 years suddenly found their payment increasing by another 100% to 200% above and beyond what it had been. The obvious solution was a replacement HELOC, and it was never even considered.

The Obama administrations failure to help these millions of homeowners has created a "nothing to lose" sentiment as these alienated voters shook things up by voting for Donald Trump or any other candidate that was not a Democrat or affiliated with Obama's Presidency.

Every time a new allegation against Donald Trump emerges, Obama and Democrat loyalists and Progressives feel vindicated that surely this will turn the tide against Donald Trump. The reality is nothing will turn the tide faster than Barack Obama admitting he had his own racism issues that lay buried during his presidency.

Obama challenged African American men to be their for their kids, even their kids outside of marriage. It was an interesting political gambit to take, to challenge African Americans to do more. 

Yet when it came to the Rustbelt and Great Plains States, Obama didn't challenge, nor did he help when he could have helped. Millions of homeowners in the Rustbelt states took out a HELOC against the Equity in their home, made their interest only payments for 10 years, but then could not afford the HELOC charges suddenly resetting and increasing by 200% to 300% per month as they also continued to pay their mortgage as well.

Obama's lack of cognizance regarding the HELOC issue probably cost Hillary Clinton the 2016 election. Obama's indifference towards assisting those who have lived in the U.S. the longest, while the Democrat Party was gearing up to provide more and more assistance to the newly arriving and migration issues in general caused millions of Democrat Moderates to shift to Donald Trump in2016. .

Instead of offering the millions of Americans with resetting HELOCs a chance to RE HELOC their HELOC's for another 10 years, the Obama administration looked the other way. By 2014 the Home Values had significantly rebounded so the risk to the banks  of not enough home equity was just not that significant.

Barack Obama hid behind his banker's cohorts when he needed to be leading them. The case can be made that Barack Obama's silence over the 2014 to 2016 resetting HELOC crisis at a critical juncture in this country's history led to Donald Trumps presidency. Until Obama admits he made a huge mistake not feeling the pain of the American Homeowner's HELOC reset crisis, the ensuing political divide will continue in the United States for many more years to come.

The reason is obvious, if a Rust Belt or Great Plains State resident has to choose between a party that is favoring immigration issues over those who are already in this country and have been here for a while, versus a party that is somewhat devoid of real compassion and empathy, it becomes a toss up. As each party continues to paint the other party is the evil side, Middle America burns.

Hillary Clinton's Lost Opportunity.

Hillary Clinton could experience a public empathy boost if Robert Mueller's Investigation keeps finding evidence of how badly Russia Behaved towards the U.S. election.

Unfortunately Hillary Clinton, who in reality is a moderate, has dived so far left into progressive politics she has crystalized former moderate supporters against herself. Barack Obama's Trojan Horse gift of solid support at the 2016 Democrat Convention forced Hillary Clinton to be much less authentic than she had been in the past.

In 2008, Hillary Clinton spoke openly about saving homeowner's homes, about supporting the Rust Belt States through their economic transition into the unknown, even on being tough on illegal immigration. The heartfelt hyperbole of 2008 has disappeared. Now Hillary Clinton has been morphed into Animal Farm's Snowball character by Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton now rallys around younger ideas and people that don't actually acknowledge those who are 50 years old and older. 

Even Hillary Clinton's Onward together campaign featured political candidates that were basically 45 years of age, or younger. Our country was fractured by the social message that kids should move out of their parents home or they would not be considered adult. Now Millennials in their late 20's to early 30's have spent close to 100,000 dollars in rent, to strangers, many are living paycheck to paycheck, and at least some have ironically moved back in with their parents.

Can we take a moment and acknowledge the depravity of being ridiculed for living at home in one's 20's while saving money in the process, and instead moving back in with one's parent's a decade later, tens of thousands of dollars in debt? Imagine not being able to pay rent to one's own parents because the son or daughter owes it to credit cards or student loans.

I am not knocking the experience of being on one's own, I am knocking the cultural push that does not give honor to remaining home and saving money versus coming back home a decade later, in debt.

How does this relate to Hillary Clinton? Her Progressive push simply puts fear into the RustBelt States. Not calling Barack Obama out on his failed HELOC reset plan, (he didn't have one) probably lost Hillary Clinton millions of Moderate Rust Belt Votes in 2016.

Regarding what Hillary Clinton can still control, her lack of physical fitness plays into the meme that she is self entitled and as long as she can look good and speak well in public, she does not care if she is wearing a back brace or whatever else she may be hiding. We never heard Hillary Clinton liked to hike until AFTER the 2016 election. I recall a local Los Angeles Newscaster actually incredulous and saddened that the Hiking side of Hillary Clinton was hidden throughout the 2016 presidential election campaign.

There are rumors that behind closed doors Hillary Clinton could be very mean and angry to her own workers. I now believe this is probably true because that level of intimidation has probably mitigated anyone from ever offering her kind hearted and heartfelt advice, such as, why don't you get in cardio shape and eventually run a mile or two in some type of local run?  Why don't you get on an elliptical for half an hour while doing an interview?  These two physical fitness suggestions are what many Americans consider to be authentic example of a presidential candidate being like they are, multi tasking workers who end up having to do multiple things at the same time.

Instead, Hillary Clinton continues down the path of covering up physical fitness issues rather than simply working out everyday and getting in great shape. DailyPUMA has said this before and will say it again, if Hillary Clinton magically emerged 3 months from now, or 6 months from now, or even 1 year from now, and wowed everyone over how she reinvented her physical fitness, they would see her as 2020 presidential candidate. 

The one lesson that Hillary Clinton has apparently never learned is, we can't always control when others will deem us ready for a challenge, we can control how ready we are when a challenge appears. If offered the 2020 presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton would not be ready because of  physical fitness issues that are within her control.

Donald Trump's July 2018 European Misogyny Tour continues.

Donald Trump's Misogyny Tour continues. First he made crazy comments in front of Angela Merkel about Germany getting 35% of its Natural gas from Russia. Germany is highly regarded in the area of Solar Energy so Trump's attack probably served several separate energy agendas at the same time. 

Trump then compounded his misogynistic flatulence with an encore performance against Theresa May, first showing up late at a dinner in his honor (maybe the Drive Thru line at McDonalds took longer then Trump had expected), then making statements regarding May having mishandled Brexit and that another member of her government would make a fine Prime Minister.

Compared to Trump's fawning over North Korean Prime Minister Kim Jung Un, the pattern being created is not a good one, Trump Gushes over Male Dictators who threaten the world's safety, while publicly insulting Women Leaders over matters of opinion.

Maybe this is a rite of passage for Trump. Maybe the public mocking is designed to toughen up the women, and the gushing over of male dictators is done to help appease the dictator, or is that giving Mr. Trump too much credit.

The problem is once a leader publicly shames another country's leader, how do the two get back on the same page? Does Trump really expect that if in the future these leaders do what Trump wants, and Trump complements them, that that will somehow make things ok?

DailyPUMA wonders, has Trump ever really gotten out of any mess he has created himself without a lot of help and forgiveness, the very thing he seems lacking within his own character.

Donald Trump's Hurtful Lies about POW's and Migration.

Donald Trump is calling migrationists and illegal aliens "animals". This is really really possibly the most horrible thing he has done as president. Most Migrants are escaping some other real and present danger. They figure there are worse things then to be caught and sequestered at the U.S. Border.

Gangs come for a families oldest as soon as the son reaches a certain age, probably around 13. If the family refuses, the son may be killed. If the son accepts, then the rest of the sons in the family will be expected to join the gang as they age. To flee being indoctrinated into a gang does not make someone an animal. To be transported like an animal out of fear does not make one an animal, it means they are brave. Calling Brave people animals is unfair to animals, who are very brave, and its unfair for the sinister meaning the word animal is supposed to generate.

Trump has this pampered habit of calling people who either end up in a POW camp, or those who leave behind an absolutely untenable situation, as losers and animals. It's really appalling. Trump is the all time get out of jail free card holder, having been given tremendous financial breaks over his own debt on so many occasions that he never had to run away from his own bad decisions, let alone others chasing him.

Donald Trump is the last person on the planet who should be scorning POWs or calling escapees from dangerous situations, animals. I wish people in the military and law enforcement who Donald Trump routinely lauds and lavishes praise upon would refuse his advances. Please, don't accept being called a hero from a guy who calls families trying to save their own children from a life of gangs, animals, and don't accept lavish praise from a guy who never apologized to John McCain for mocking his five years as a Prisoner of War.

You can agree with Trump that too much immigration or migration too fast can cause those who have been here a lot longer to lose out on government programs, but that does not make people fleeing dangerous situations, animals.

20% of the 2016 Presidential voters voted 56-41 for Trump because of the Supreme Court Justice Issue.

When Barack Obama was not able to get a Supreme Court Justice voted in before the 2016 presidential elections, it opened the door for non Trump conservatives to vote for Trump just because he would get to pick the next Supreme Court Nominee.

The Democrats probably figured Hillary Clinton would win and there was a rumor she might even select Barack Obama as a Supreme Court Justice. Mathematically speaking, if 20% of all voters gave Donald Trump a 15% edge over Hillary Clinton specifically because a Supreme Court Justice was to be selected, that equals an overall 3% gain in Trumps Voting percentage. So pollsters could be off by 3 percentage points on Trump's total because voters could honestly say they were not supporting Trump, while quietly realizing they would vote for Trump specifically because they would rather he select the next Supreme Court Justice instead of Hillary Clinton.

So instead of winning by a plus 2% margin, Hillary Clinton might have actually had a 5% winning margin if the Supreme Court Justice issue had already been resolved and the Democrat choice was not considered horrible to Conservatives. 

It's also possible that if Barack Obama had been able to get his Supreme Court Justice pick approved that the Supreme Court Justice issue would have been kept alive with Conservatives and Religious Conservatives warning that If Hillary Clinton was elected, she would surely pick an even worse Supreme Court Justice than Barack Obama if she were to get a new opportunity to do so.

Still one wonders if the fact that a Supreme Court Justice pick was absolutely going to be made by the new president gave Never Trumper Conservatives the motivation they needed to vote for Trump. The "Select the next Supreme Court Justice by voting for Trump" meme was loudly lobbied for on conservative religious channels and in public speaking events by well known conservative religious leaders, who then had their public speeches in front of large gatherings  also rebroadcast on conservative religious channels.

So to those who say that the polls were intentionally against Trump, that is not true. The polls most likely forgot to ask a few key questions, such as, absolutely showing that in a four person race Trump was closer to Hillary Clinton than in a two person race, and that voters who disliked Trump would still vote for him because of the Supreme Court issue. 

One wonders if Progressives and Bernie Sander's supporters might have changed their minds and exchanged their protest votes for a third, fourth or no candidate, for Hillary Clinton, if they realized that Trump could win because Trump non supporters were going to vote for him specifically because of the Supreme Court Justice selection the new president would reside over.

As for DailyPUMA, DailyPUMAs biggest issue is how Hillary Clinton has reacted over her loss. Hillary Clinton apparently can't be bothered to get in great physical shape to show those who were on the fence about her that she had the ability to keep herself in good, physical shape. 

Instead DP is watching a Norma Desmond masquerade in which Ms. Clinton continues to cover up her unnecessarily declining health rather than look inward and realize that being able to cover up correctable physical insufficiencies just plays in to the hands of her detractors who say she is not to be trusted. Being physically fit shows a certain humility to something bigger than ourselves, and it inspires others. Ms. Clinton has chosen to inspire those younger than herself while forgetting what an amazing role model she still could be to those 60 years and older.

Donald Trump's intentional abuse of the Media and why his Supporters love it.

The low point of Donald Trump's Presidency was shown on the John Oliver show. Donald Trump held up a huge envelope allegedly from North Korea and talked glowingly about the huge envelope and the contents inside of it for a minute or so. Less than 10 minutes later, as Trump was walking off, someone asked what was in the large envelope from North Korea and Trump admitted he had not seen the contents of the very Envelope he had raved about less than 10 minutes earlier.

This is what happens when the left throws everything at the president in an ongoing barrage, Trump can do really unacceptable things like talk glowingly about the contents of an envelope that he has not even read, and his supporters just won't care. 

The immigration and racism accusation simply draw Trump Supporters to Trump in greater numbers because the accusations reveal a flaw in the left's attack. The left wants to do away with privilege, all privilege, to level the playing field, and they then call racist anyone who disagrees with them. The problem is there such a thing as "Earned Privilege". Earned Privilege means someone has already been in this country for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, years or longer and they don't want to be victimized or lose existing benefits or privileges so that others who are much younger can cut into their benefits. They recall paying their dues when they were younger, and now they would like to be granted the benefits they were promised  years ago.

However, it should be pointed out that the reason there is so much migration going on is because of wars that have decimated other parts of the world, and that does muddy up what many who support Trump see as a clear cut issue.

DailyPUMA would just like to point out to the left that Law Enforcement DOES NOT get involved when an ER commits elder abuse. The FBI, Department of Justice, and the Police, so far as DailyPUMA can tell, have no desire or will to investigate. So while the left calls the right racist for not protecting Migrants, the right and the left are not protecting seniors, and nobody seems to care. Once again, both sides suck and continue to do so by harping at each other with the same old talking points even as new issues emerge such as senior abuse, Harvesting and over drugging by Hospice Centers, and E.M.T.A.L.A. violations by the E.R. that go unrecognized.

It's Ageism to only concern oneself with people who are younger or within a rather narrow age window, and Ageism is an issue that neither party wants to acknowledge. Meanwhile Donald Trump has mastered the art of annoying the media to the joy of his own supporters.

Sixty Minutes reveals why Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump in 2016.

In the end, it came down to physical fitness as the main reason that Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 Presidential Race. Hillary Clinton's campaign refused to do true micro targeting on Facebook, Donald Trumps side embraced it.

So why did that happen? Donald Trump's Real Estate website contacted a hard working young man who began making nice web designs for a very low price.  Apparently the web designer made Donald Trump's for President first website for $1,500 dollars and took two days to do it. The more work he did, the more the Trump team relied on him. Eventually he had a staff of 100, plus Facebook employees teaching Team Trump how to make micro targeted ads.

Before Facebook Cable TV was the King of Micro Targeting. Rather than pay a broadcast channel several thousands of dollars for a thirty second spot that would reach areas that were just too far away for some prospective advertisers, Cable TV allowed advertisers to target in smaller regional areas.

However, even Cable TV advertisers ended up being priced out in terms of being a one store on one corner location wanting to advertise. Car dealerships did the best on Cable TV.  And small businesses with a couple locations within one Cable area also had a better chance to do well with their advertising.

It was obvious the trend to micro targeting was the next big thing. I knew it several years ago. Facebook was allowing advertisers to spend as little as one dollar a day on target ads. The targeting options were endless.

I just can't see Hillary Clinton having the physical strength to just move fast and handle shit. I see her as being smart enough to do everything that needed to be done, just not mobile enough. In 2008 one of the frustrating things Hillary Clinton had to deal with was acknowledging her long time supporters while welcoming the upcoming young money and influence.  In the end the ones who could not be fit at the table simply went over to Barack Obama. And by the way, Barack Obama's speech writer was someone who apparently bumped into Obama after a speech, before Obama was famous, and made some suggestion that caught Obama's ear and he was suddenly on his writing staff.

The ability to have a main point of focus while having the agility to recognize shooting stars and up comers has now twice thwarted Hillary Clinton. Sadly, she will never learn the real lesson, be mentally alert AND physically fit is what it really takes to be a winning leader.

I still believe that if Hillary Clinton reinvented herself and was able to turn back her physical fitness clock people might see her as a 2020 candidate. Although the damage may have already been done by all those micro ad Facebook torpedoes the Trump team shot at her without her ever knowing much about them because micro ads literally go to the person they are targeted for and no one else may ever see them.

Yes, I believe there was a lot of dirty shenanigans at the gubernatorial level by Republican Governors who controlled most of the country. Yes the James Comey second letter made a huge difference. But what actually created instant incredulity and outrage over anything Clinton was in part due to the micro targeting that made Trump supporters feel like they were directly connected to him.

Imagine if instead of all that money spent showing the same darn couple of ads with famous Hollywood Talent doing the voice overs, Hillary Clinton had actually targeted Republican leaning areas within her Democrat strongholds.

I believe if Hillary Clinton had promised REHELOC's via facebook ads to anyone who had an expiring interest only HELOC that was about to reset after the interest only 10 year period had run out, she would have won the election.

Micro ads may have been the best way to counter the surprising hostility that Hillary Clinton kept encountering from a media that was supposedly pro Democrat. But without being physically fit, Hillary Clinton probably just did not have the ability to stumble upon new ways of doing things.

Factor in that Bill Clinton was running the Clinton foundation which had a couple thousand of employees, were they ever asked how if Facebook Micro Ads were worth doing? Oh the irony in not asking Bill Clinton's team how to deal with Facebook, or Chelsea Clinton as well.

Republican Revisionist History about Russiagate begins Anew.

One or more Republican candidates started the dossier, not Hillary Clinton. The dossier was probably created by Republican Rivals of Trump and LATER given to Hillary Clinton because of how obnoxiously Trump spoke about many of his Republican rivals during and after the Republican Nomination campaign.  

Hillary Clinton was twice outed by Comey BEFORE the 2016 election, if Trump was being investigated prior to the election, he was NOT outed prior to the election, and we can "thank" Obama for that. If a Trump Investigation had been known before the election, the millions of moderates who switched to Trump, some would have switched back to Clintonl probably enough to flip the election back to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.

Lets make out our own Priceless list of Republican Rambling points including one in which something the Republicans benefited from is now reversed.
  • Democrat emails released, not Republican emails.
  • Clinton publicly outed twice prior to the Election by the FBI, Trump not publicly outed by the FBI.
  • Trump won the nomination by bashing his opponents, then when his rivals created and shared a Dossier with Hillary Clinton, it's Hillary Clinton who created it.   
  • Hillary Clinton regularly slammed by Trump Supporters The Globe and the National Enquirer, The Globe and National Enquirer actually pay money for stories that would embarrass Trump, and bury the story.
  • Priceless.

Fox News Denies DailyPUMA RSS feed Access. Seriously?

Not only do very few people read DailyPUMA, but in an effort to hear both sides of the story and be truly moderate, DailyPUMA recently added three conservative blog RSS feeds. One of them was FoxNews.com.  Here is what happens when DailyPUMA clicks on that link.

Wow, DP has never gotten an Access Denied graphic before.  An RSS feed actually allows for Fox to get the word out, and the RSS feed simply allows for the DailyPUMA browser to visit the latest breaking news from a Fox.com story. 

DP supposes that it is possible that Fox News does not want to have its google ranking "contaminated" by a lowly blog that has an RSS feed to their website.  But all that does is prove that there is a vast right wing conspiracy that is driven by a desire to have the highest possible ranking at all costs.

The Claim that Donald Trump is an Economic Racist versus an Actual Racist just took a huge blow, Waffle House Hero James Shaw Jr. has yet to be recognized by Trump for Shaw's Heroic Actions.

(Monday, May 14, 2018 3:01pm Update, Fox News claims Donald Trump has now talked to James Shaw Jr. as a few hours ago.)

ShareBlue has pointed out that it has been 2 weeks since the Waffle House Shooting in which James Shaw Jr., an African American Hero, disarmed a caucasian gunman before the caucasian gunman could kill more people with his assault weapons. 

Donald Trump has yet to congratulate James Shaw Jr. for his bravery. This is really really bad for anyone who thinks that Donald Trump is only an economic racist. Very very bad.

Seth Michaels incoherently Ridicules Donald Trump's comments about a Space Division for the U.S. Military.

Normally Seth Myers has something to say, but every now and then he gets caught up in his own web of anything Trump says must be stupid. Last night Seth Myers ridiculed Donald Trump over Trump's Space Military comments. The problem is Seth couldn't be more wrong. 

Whether we like it or not, more and more of our economy is based on using satellites, the ones orbiting around in space. Satellites assist in the controlling of drones, cars, planes and trains. Space may be the place where our economic wars happen, the kind warfare where suddenly almost everything can be shut down because satellites are either hacked, disabled, or destroyed.

Why Seth Myers is wrapped up in his childish take down of Trump over a Space Military probably has to do with no matter what Trump says, it must be coming from a ridiculous mind set. Seth Myers probably benefits many times a day from satellite technology, the idea that we should not be protecting satellites, as Seth Myers is basically stating in his own unwitting way, is really, really stupid.

This is why DailyPUMA keeps reminding the few readers who come here, don't believe everything that either a Progressive or Conservative spouts off about, most have become so tunnel visioned that being able to constantly ridicule a politician from the opposing party seems to be what motivates their very reason for living, and making a living.

Planned Parenthood, Teacher's Union, and the ACLU form strange alliances.

One of the reasons that the elderly can be "offed" by denial of service from an ER is the relatively low compensation that wrongful death and medical malpractice suits can generate. It's not the only reason, but it is one big reason in many states, including California, which has one of the lowest caps on lawsuit awards for those who believe they have been a victim of medical malpractice or the wrongful death of a loved one.

It was to DailyPUMA's surprise to discover that Planned Parenthood, The Teacher's union in California, and the ACLU were all OPPOSED to a ballot measure that simply would have allowed a 35 year old California cap on Medical Malpractice awards to keep up with inflation.

Apparently the right to choose now extends to the right for an ER to choose who gets treated and who does not when it comes to the elderly, and Planned Parenthood, The Teachers union and the ACLU are ok with that. 

This type of political single mindedness by supposed stalwart democrat groups who should have just stayed on the sidelines and kept quiet are why I believe it is demonic to hate either political party as if they are cause of all ills. If you believe that either party is the devil, get help.

If DailyPUMA has to spell it out for you its probably this simple. Planned Parenthood does not want the 40 year old  250,000 dollar medical malpractice cap raised because it could adversely affect doctors who perform abortions. So the price some of us may one day pay is to see a senior who still wanted to live and still had reasons to live, simply not treated by an ER because the ER knows that even though they are violating the law the worst that may happen is they get a fine, but no lawsuit.

NBC Nightly News over edits Donald Trumps comments, others blame Trump for Ronny Jackson nomination even though Jackson was also Barack Obama's doctor.

Maybe DailyPUMA no longer understands. Was watching NBC nightly news last night and saw horribly over edited  Donald Trump podium comments about his Nomination of Ronny Jackson for Department of Veteran Affairs.

Why is Trump being eviscerated for nominating a doctor for Department of Veteran Affairs when that doctor was also Barack Obama's White House doctor? At some point, we should expect fairness from the media and Democrat Politicians whether or not they approve of Trump.

Otherwise should a Democrat win the presidency in 2020 it will be just the same level of hostility coming from the Republican side.

Supreme Court Allegedly Rules Violence Guideline as a Reason to deport a US legal immigrant must be struck down, a huge fine should have been ordered instead.

Apparently Donald Trump's Department of Justice attempted to apply a "violence as a reason to deport an illegal immigrant law" to a case involving a legal immigrant, who was not violent. That is just the beginning of the madness.

CNN and Fox News are reporting that the Supreme Court Justices struck down the violence by a illegal immigrant law as being too "vague". This makes no sense to DailyPUMA. 

The Trump D.O.J. administration simply misapplied an existing law. All the Supreme Court had to do was excoriate the Trump D.O.J. for trying to apply a law where the law did not apply. Perhaps even fine the Trump D.O.J. and give the money to the falsely accused victim. There was no need to actually throw out the law.

What is this world coming to when laws or rules are simply struck down because the law is used incorrectly? Once again, our polarized, radicalized, "America is choosing sides" mind set has half the country applauding the throwing out of the law because it punishes Trump, the other half doesn't understand how a violent act by a illegal immigrant can be construed as a vague law, even if it was misapplied in this particular instance.

DailyPUMA simply points out that no law should be thrown out by the Supreme Court simply because the law was used incorrectly. Fine the Trump D.O.J. a million dollars for over reaching with a law that is perfectly easy to understand. But to simply throw out the law because it was used incorrectly seems over reaching as well by the Supreme Court.

If the law that the Supreme Court allegedly struck down instead had fines attached every time it was used incorrectly, I am pretty sure the Trump D.O.J. would reel in when they used the violence  / illegal immigrant card. 

This is truly a sad day for America, A., because Trump's D.O.J. can't tell the difference between a legal immigrant versus an illegal immigrant and the use of violence between no use of violence, and B., because the Supreme Court simply threw out a law when they should have been invoking a fine for the abusive and over reaching use of the Law in question by the Trump D.O.J.

George Stephanopoulos, the first to ask James Comey why it was ok to mention that Hillary Clinton was under Investigation, but not Trump.

Kudos to George Stephanopoulos for asking James Comey why it was ok to announce that Hillary Clinton was under investigation, but not Donald Trump.

Comey's answer to Mr. Stephanopoulos's question needed a follow up question, however. Comey basically stated that Trump was not under investigation, that it was people around Trump who were under investigation.

But this begs another question, why was a private citizen allowed to go less scrutinized, perhaps even unscrutinized versus a public official?

The Clinton emails in question were several years old. Why wasn't Trump being investigated as well? And wasn't Bernie Sanders also being investigated?

And, was investigated the right word? Wouldn't the word vetted have been the right word to use? "The FBI is vetting all the presidential candidates…"

Anyways, if Hillary Clinton had been elected president, she might have been under incredible pressure from the Progressive wing of the Democrat party AND the Neo conservatives who have come to hate her, that I am no longer sure she could have gotten anything done of note as president.

There is too much web money to be made hating on Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton does not appear to have the gift of feeling the pain of her supporters. If she had felt her supporters' pain she would have used her time off after being Secretary of State and prior to running for president to try and heal wounds and mend fences. Plus she should have gotten in better cardio shape so her physical fitness would have impressed the younger generation. 

DailyPUMA guesses that Bill Clinton told Hillary Clinton to lay low and avoid public scrutiny and be a doting grandmother, not realizing that even that sage advise could backfire if it meant not being involved in Clinton Foundation on site projects, getting into good cardio shape, and possibly avoiding the lucrative wall street talks or at least instantly donating most of the money to Clinton Foundation projects.

And Bill Clinton should have accepted an annual salary for running the Clinton Foundation and then used stats to show that his salary as head of the Clinton Foundation was lower than any other Foundation head in terms of ratio to total money raised, or lower than the top 1000 Fortune 1000 businesses. Asking Clinton Foundation donors to then make a separate donation to fund Bill Clinton is not against the law, but it allowed for Clinton detractors to make it seem both scandalous and against the law.

Perhaps Bill and Hillary's biggest mistake was not confiding enough in Chelsea Clinton, who probably would have made the right call on Hillary Clinton's path to the White House, if only she had been asked and have her observations respected.

A simple question about Syria, Sarin Gas and Chloride.

Is it possible to camouflage Sarin Gas and Chloride detectors into everyday housing items such as roofing materials? How about some CIA construction guys installing Sarin Gas and Chloride detectors into places one would never think twice about?

So far, we have Russia and Syria inviting workers in to determine what happened, and the US and its allies saying that Russia and Syria are stalling for time so they can get rid of evidence. Both scenarios are plausible.

Maybe it would take too many Sarin Gas and Chloride detectors to accurately cover a wide enough area. If so, why not have Sarin Gas and Chloride detectors ready so they can be brought to the scene of an alleged attack within a half an hour to an hour away?

Could Sarin Gas and Chloride Detector Drones be launched to the site of an alleged attack to gather readings? Something better is needed than a back and forth in which both sides seem to have justifiable cause for their actions, aka, verifiable truth.

Of course, once Sarin Gas and Chloride have been found, can it be proved who detonated it?  Why does Syria have Sarin Gas and Chloride? If they did not have it stockpiled, then it could not be launched nor stolen by terrorists.

Why the Republican Party is viewed as the Party of the Heartless and the Selfish.

The biggest problem with the Republican Party is that Libertarians support them. I like the spirit behind Libertarianism, but the application of their principles is basically selfish on many fronts. If Libertarianism policies were in place, roads, cars, pipelines, rules and regulations would vary so greatly from fiefdom to fiefdom our country would not be a world power nor would it have enough economic might to spread around to its citizens.

Another flaw of Libertarianism is it really does not acknowledge what came before them as the primary reason they have an economic edge to apply to their own present day ventures.

What Libertarianism does do is give the Republican Party ample motivation and cause to not genuinely support programs like MediCAID, MediCARE or Social Security. Republican voters don't like their own parties take on these programs, however they know the Democrats would never let those programs die, so Republicans simply accept their own parties Libertarian based views knowing Dems won't let those programs die. 

If the Republican party did not embrace their Libertarian supporters, the difference in total supporters for each political party would temporarily massively shift to the Democrat Party. However, once Republicans became free to actually support Social Entitlement programs that reward those who have paid their taxes the longest, the would be on solid footing with many moderates and even Democrat Moderates.

The Republican Party Libertarian Support conundrum has caused the Republican party to face charges of racism and reluctance to change to new ideas when the reality is Republican Voters simply don't want to see their vote be equaled or overwhelmed by those just arriving into the U.S.
However, when one then mixes in the Libertarian philosophy, the Republican Party sows a reputation of stinginess and heartlessness they clearly have earned. 

After seeing my mother not be treated in the ER even though she had MediCare, why would I embrace the Democrat march towards supporting those who want to make America their home when our own government can't even take care of those who have lived in America and paid  their taxes for the past 40 years.

And yet, the Republican Party is the party of no. The Republican party appears to be clueless when it comes to truly hearing the pain of those who support them, or, they simply have accepted that the Democrats will always stop them from doing the unthinkable and cutting programs that actually reward those who have paid into the system the longest, except when it comes to MediCARE.

The cruelest twist here is the Democrats, the supposedly passion filled party, is so fixated on collecting new voters through Immigration and youthful causes they too have abandoned those who have paid their taxes the longest.

In DailyPUMA's view, a Libertarian is a person who feels no obligation to society as a whole other than offer a product or service and receive compensation in return. This Libertarian lack of obligation has driven the Republican Party to the brink of not understanding that programs such as Home Healthcare can both create true infrastructure jobs while giving back to those who have paid their taxes for the longest period of time.

Come on Reasonable People, both Political Parties are full of shit, the Republicans moreso, but the democrats are not far behind, in some ways, maybe its worse to be perceived as being better than one really is.

Seeing the ER Forcibly remove my dear sweet, loving 91 year old mother and myself by a security guard when she was sick and then to have her die just three days later in my arms has obviously been a wake up call for me. If you really believe the Republicans are the Devil, and Democrats are the Angels sent from on nigh, you are full of shit and need an enema.

Both Parties suck and both parties spend most their time trying to convince the public that the other side is destroying America. DailyPUMA believes the following, if our country is systematically discarding our elderly who are on MediCARE and neither party seems to care, then we presently are the shit hole country Donald Trump loathes.

The only president that I can recall from the last 50 years who went almost moderate center was Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was also the only president in the past 80 years to both lower his annual budget deficit each and every year he was in power and to also leave office more popular then when he went in.

Yet Bill Clinton has been reviled by both Conservatives AND Progressives. So take note, if you truly believe only one side of the political spectrum is for you, then you are a dunderhead, and that's not my opinion, its fact

Next article I will explain why the Republican party comes off as the party with no compassion, the answer may or may not surprise you.

Understanding Meaningful Infrastructure for the Rust Belt States and Beyond.

Unfortunately for most Americans, Donald Trump probably has more awareness regarding infrastructure for roads, bridges and highways than he does for helping reduce the opioid addiction problem that he claimed he would fight if elected president.

Unfortunately for most Americans, the Progressive wing of the Democrat party calls someone a racist if they are first and foremost concerned with the welfare of citizens who have lived in this country for many decades and paid their taxes rather than focus on other issues currently occupying the minds of Progressives that involve complete capitulation to the Unending Undocumented, aka the newly arriving.

Unfortunately for most Americans, Hillary Clinton never felt the pain of her followers who all have at least one friend who hates Hillary Clinton with such passion it boggles the mind while Hillary Clinton just never fought back. Hillary Clinton let her followers suffer in silence by remaining quiet over so many wild accusations they could not all be true.

Unfortunately for most Americans, Donald Trump most likely cares most about his own family first and how how his political ventures can enrich his own family.

Unfortunately for most Americans, Hillary Clinton is blind to the notion of being in kick arse cardio shape so she can inspire others over her own renewed commitment to physical fitness, yet she wants to improve healthcare for all?

Unfortunately for most Americans, Donald Trump was elected president without having to show his income tax returns even as everybody clamored for Hillary Clinton to show hers, and she did.

Unfortunately for all Americans, Donald Trump probably does not even know what M.N.N.A. means, yet he is supposed to negotiate peace with North Korea.

Unfortunately for most Americans, Donald Trump is possibly in debt to Russian Oligarchs, and this indebtedness is likely affecting his ability to govern.

Unfortunately for most Americans, the Republican Party is so damn dense they are against programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid because it allows the Republican party to pick up the Libertarian Vote. Meanwhile Republican voters who do believe in the big three simply know the Democrats will never let the crazy Republicans do away with these programs, even as they continue to vote Republican.

Unfortunately for most Americans, the Republican Party's hate of Medicaid for American Citizens is so off the charts that the concept of using Home Health Care to both reduce Nationwide MediCare costs while simultaneously providing in home healthcare jobs for unemployed sons and daughters living with their aging parents is beyond comprehension.

Unfortunately for most Americans, using home healthcare as a form of Rust Belt and Beyond economic Infrastructure is a concept that the Republican Party just cannot grasp and one that the Democrat Party has parked behind Immigration, Me Too, and Gun Control, and our country is the worse for it.
