After a relaxing weekend I return to my normal posting attitude…..refreshed and piss off……
If my calendar is correct then today is the Iowa caucus….if you do not want to be bored to tears then read IST and get a jump on your neighbor…..
I have said that the 2016 election is going to be the foreign policy election…..with all that is going on in the world…Iran, ISIS, Russia, Turkey, Syria and on and on…..the next president will need a good grasp on all things international and that includes diplomacy…..I know that is a dirty word in the GOP…..but unfortunately for them all out war is never the answer….
So far ALL GOP candidates are infantile, uninformed, callous and short sighted……but do not take my word for it….Sec. Gates our former secretary of Defense gives his assessment……
Former defense secretary condemns media over presidential candidates’ promises he believes are unaffordable, illegal or unconstitutional.

Hi friend!

What else is to be expected of anyone whose primary characteristic is narcissistic ambition? They are not interested in anything but lining their own pockets, & increasing their own power & status. The actual science of politics is beyond their sphere of interest….
