Amid Trump surge, nearly 20,000 Mass. voters quit Democratic party

"Nearly 20,000 Bay State Democrats have fled the party this winter, with thousands doing so to join the Republican ranks, according to the state’s top elections official.

Secretary of State William Galvin said more than 16,300 Democrats have shed their party affiliation and become independent voters since Jan. 1, while nearly 3,500 more shifted to the MassGOP ahead of tomorrow’s “Super Tuesday” presidential primary."

Not good!

Dr Charles Finch

I was going back and forth with a poster about time and physics and that got me thinking about Dr Finch. I was lucky enough to see a seminar at a young age and it definitely had a major influence. Especially my desire to explore the role of science in ancient Africa.

Here's a small clip if anyone is interested. There's tons more on YouTube



Sorry for the poor video quality

There Are 1,800 Reasons Why the Controversy Over Hillary Clinton's Emails Is Far From Over

"Moreover, VICE News and dozens of other news organizations and good government groups are still in the process of obtaining emails from Clinton's top aides in response to separate FOIA lawsuits filed against the State Department, and the FBI is investigating Clinton's use of a private email server. There is little doubt the issue will continue to play out through November's election."

This is far from over. It should also be noted that the Clinton foundation's emails along with her staff's are on the servers in the custody of the FBI.

Clinton's Credibility Questioned As Bill's Philanthropy "Takes it to the Limit"


This lighthearted look at the Clintons' charitable excursions exemplifies a much larger pattern: the unaccountability of today's influence elites (see my book Unaccountable.) This music video focuses specifically on how Bill Clinton's post-presidential career complicates his wife's executive ambitions. He has been a frenetic philanthropist since leaving office, his foundation channeling huge donations from corporations and even foreign governments. These donations inevitably call into question how a new President Clinton could manage innumerable conflicts of interest. Indeed, they have raised questions at times about her impartiality as secretary of state. Serious stuff that I felt could use a little satirical treatment.

MSNBC Officially Cuts Ties With Melissa Harris-Perry Over Beyoncé’s 'Formation' Video

“When she said wanted to discuss Beyoncé’s new video, ‘Formation,’ and how it addresses race, she said she was encouraged to focus on the election instead. She wound up discussing the video anyway but as she did, footage of Jeb Bush and Chris Christie rallies in New Hampshire appeared in a box, an indication that the network’s priorities were shifting.”

Msnbc isn't even trying to hid their contempt for black journalists. How many have been marginalized only to be canned so far?
