The Headlines Last Week: “Bernie Supporters Practice Getting Arrested at the Democratic Convention.” \u00a0It seems that Bernie and company want to go out of the Big Democratic Dance in Philadelphia kicking and screaming.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Democratic
Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Wide World of Sports had a catchphrase: “The Thrill of Victory, and the Agony of Defeat.”<\/span><\/p>\n

For Bernie Sanders and many of his supporters, their catchphrase should be: \u00a0“The Thrill of Winning Primaries and the Agony of Coming up Short.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Bernie Sanders is becoming the Mick Jagger of politics. \u00a0Like Mick, Sanders isn’t ready yet to get off the stage, retire the vocal chords and ride off into oblivion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rock ‘n roll visionary still belts out music about insurrection like “Street Fighting Man” and “Gimme Shelter” written during an epoch of rage when Vietnam was going hot and heavy, America’s streets were on fire. Sanders is adamant about igniting a revolution to rectify economic injustice in a capitalist system where the cliche “the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer” is now the mantra.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"MickSanders and Jagger have a lot in common. Both are passionate about their calling that is fueled by the roar, applause and adoration of the crowd. \u00a0It jump starts the adrenaline, and it’s addictive. Ask any NFL player.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s time, however, for Sanders to bow out gracefully and leave the stage with his chest puffed from his tremendous accomplishments. Get out before the accolades and the remnant of his supporters begin fade, and Sanders becomes a bitter memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Mick, well, that’s another story. He could fill a stadium if he was rolled in on a wheelchair wearing Depends.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love The Stones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Republican Write-In Candidate<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I thought about who might be the next logical choice for the Republicans to consider to run against Trump as a write-in candidate. Okay, throw out logic because in this case, specifically this party, it doesn’t apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alright, first of all, think like a desperate Republican standing on the edge of a canyon watching a train about to derail into a raging river and mouthing “Holy Shit,” you might want to give serious consideration and rally around the gentleman below: \u00a0(I did a little cut and paste.)<\/span><\/p>\n

BREAKING NEWS: \u00a0 THIS JUST IN. THE GOP HAS FOUND A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE TO OPPOSE DONALD TRUMP. THIS CANDIDATE IS FROM FRANCE<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TRUMP’S MEDIA BAN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"TrumpTrump recently banned the Washington Post from covering his political rallies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reporter joins the New York Times, National Review and the Daily Beast and other media in being banned by Trump because he got his feelings hurt after they did hard-hitting stories about him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who will never come close to making Trump’s list of undesirables are CNN, MSNBC and certainly, not Fox \u2014 GOP Central.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, the political sophists and hosts of these networks continue to try and find the Rosetta Stone which will unravel the Trumpoglyphics while treating this rambling Orangutan like some Egyptian enigma.<\/span><\/p>\n

This TV pundit posturing, which is based on insightful speculation, is really more about j0urnalistic\u00a0titillation along with the networks making a buck and milking ratings off of Trump, rather than calling him on the 24\/7 BS he constantly slinging in front of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it’s really not that complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen to what former Washington D.C reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Bernstein had to say about Trump, and why he believes that most of the media is out to lunch.<\/span><\/p>\n
