This evening has been a banquet.

Every one of the candidates could have been a successful president. It is the time we are in that has brought Joe Biden to the front of our great leaders. Joe is the moderate, fearless, and experienced leader we need now.

No more fast food for the presidency. A tried and true leader that is proven to be strong sustenance. That is why the American people chose Joe Biden. They know him. They know his steadfast faith in morality and justice.

This convention has brought the pride of its members to a pinnacle that needed to be achieved. The Democrats knew exactly what needed to be done and now we have a magnificent team to run for the presidency.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is the perfect team. It is a wise choice.

Every candidate should be reassured the choice made is about a steady hand and a way forward that is recognizable. Joe Biden has what it takes. He was an accumulation of values and expertise that can be counted on. Every one of the candidates could lead this country, but, the vision of what America is about is best served by the leadership of Joe Biden. Be reassured that every person that ran for the office of president is as magnificent American. They should be proud of their involvement knowing each one is the gift of being the best this country has to offer. They should stay involved. Americans love them, but, it was time for Joe Biden and the culmination of value systems that are rock solid and known.

Thank you to all, including those that made this convention possible. It is great. Now. It is time for Joe.

Postal Trucks and Tractor Trailers. How many of the US Postal trucks and semis have been sold?

It seems obvious why the new postal trucks were never ordered. Trump intends to liquidate the US Postal Service. Someone needs to investigate the FLEET and be sure there actually are trucks to move the mail.

The U.S. Postal Service (click here) delayed awarding a multi-billion dollar contract to replace its fleet of aging mail trucks until next year. When the program first launched several years ago, the agency said the decision would be made by now.

The Postal Service also now says it may split assembly of 186,000 next-generation daily mail trucks between several of the four company teams competing for the $6 billion-plus contract....

It is about time!

If you thought Stephen K. Bannon (click here) was going to end up in handcuffs, you might have predicted that it wouldn’t be for a small-time con. After all, Bannon went from running a far-right online publication to the heights of U.S. conservatism, first as CEO of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign and then as “chief strategist” in the White House. He even had ambitions to take his political project global
'
But it turns out that the scheme that Bannon has jut been criminally charged with is indeed a species of penny-ante grift. Yet it’s the sort of grift the American right has been running on its own voters for decades, which makes this absolutely fitting:

- Federal prosecutors in New York on Thursday unsealed criminal charges against Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, and three other men they alleged defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors using an online crowdfunding campaign that was advertised as raising money to build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.

- In a news release, prosecutors said Bannon and another organizer of the campaign, Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, claimed they would not take any compensation as part of the campaign, called “We Build The Wall,” but that was a lie. Bannon, prosecutors alleged, received more than $1 million through a nonprofit he controlled, sending hundreds of thousands out to Kolfage while keeping a “substantial portion” for himself.

If you’re keeping score, the group of people around the president who have been charged with crimes now includes Trump’s campaign CEO, Trump’s campaign chairman, Trump’s deputy campaign chairman, Trump’s personal lawyer, Trump’s  national security adviser and Trump’s longtime friend and political adviser....
