IS TRUMP THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WITH AIDS?

The only medical document, submitted to the public by Trump, issued by his Gastroenterologist, clearly states that his test results are all positive.  We assume that, as is normal, his tests included one for the HIV virus.  Based on his own physician's report, Trump is HIV+ and thus shows the medical strides that have been made in the field, as well as the social progress made in the philosophy of the Republican Party, in accepting Trump as a candidate.   

CHARACTER ASSASSINATION BY INNUENDO VS. TAX RETURNS

Many of those innuendos about corruption and ties to foreign governments can be cleared up through examination of income tax returns.  For example, if only Hillary Clinton would release her tax returns, it might clear up all those innuendos about she and her husband having profited from the Clinton Foundation.  Up to date she has only released 34 years of her returns; we don't know what happened 35 years ago.

Donald Trump, however, because he is a Republican candidate, should be taken at his word that he has no ties to the Russian government, and there is nothing to learn from his tax returns.

TRUMP'S SURROGATES

Basis media interviews with Trump's surrogates, on TV and radio, one can only conclude that they are expected to know everything about Hillary Clinton and nothing about Trump, whatsoever.  When questioned,  by the interviewer, about the Donald, they immediately launch into a diatribe against Clinton, offering little or nothing about their candidate.

EXTORTING POWER FROM THE BARREL OF A GUN

"SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS" folks who think that their guns will allow them to retain rights, bestowed by a society, to the detriment of that society, without amendment, should remember that guns are not very effective against weapons that require the resources of an organized society.

BIRTH OF A NEW PERVASIVE CLINTON LIE

Within days of release, by the State Department, of one of the unclassified emails that were on Clinton's server, dealing with an Iranian defector who returned to Iran, that defector was executed by the Iranian government.

On learning of the fact, that the defector was executed, the Republican smear machine, immediately, went into action to blame the hacked Clinton emails, for the defector's death, even though there has never been any evidence that Clinton's server was hacked, the defection occurred 7 years ago and Ameri, the scientist returned to Iran 6 years ago, in 2010, and Clinton's last year, in office as Secretary of State, was 2013.  Her emails were released by the State Department, to the public, in 2016.  An  unclassified email dealing with Amiri, sent by another State Department employee to Clinton, not reclassified, among the batch. was the only one that could have borne on the matter was made public, but not by Clinton, and years after she had left office.

All of the foregoing notwithstanding, and the absurdity of  alleging that her emails were hacked and this led to a defector's death years after she had left office, once the Republican smear machine gets to endlessly repeat the lie, it will be come a fact for the  dittoheads and nothing will dislodge it.  The fact finders will tire of debunking the claim and the Republican rank and file will accept what their smear machine tells them.

NO ABORTION FOR ZIKA VICTIMS

Marco Rubio wants to ban abortions for Zika virus victims.  Of course, funds to provide social services to children born with microcephaly will be made available, according to Mr. Rubio, with corresponding cuts in other assistance programs.  After all, if someone does not have the funds to provide for themselves, they shouldn't contract the virus in the first place.

WRONGFUL DEATHS

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed, against Hillary Clinton, for the death of a family member who died in Benghazi.

I hope that it doesn't get thrown out of court, as that might open up the possibility of filing some 4000 wrongful death lawsuits against Bush/Cheney for having lied us into the Iraq war.  Additionally, there are some 3000 lawsuits that could be sustained for the people killed at the Twin Towers.  There is more substantial circumstantial evidence that Bush/Cheney arranged for the attack, to set the grounds for the Iraq war, than allegations that Clinton's emails contained classified information or that they may have been hacked, neither of which was proven after a lot more investigations than was afforded to 9/11 or the Iraq War.
