Polls & Surveys Are Untrustworthy
I received a survey call this evening. The caller asked if I would participate by answering 6 to 8 quick questions.
I agreed.
The first question was, “Do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton?”
I answered, “Unfavorable.”
Guess he didn’t like that answer, because he hung up.
That’s why I don’t trust surveys or polls. I think the surveying companies will call until they get what they consider the right answer. And all the people they spoke to who didn’t answer correctly, won’t be counted, which of course will skew the results.
So all the polls out there now on the election are BS, in my opinion.
I’ll wait until the votes are counted but in the back of my mind, I’ll wonder how much cheating went on.
It’s really sad that I’ve become so skeptical.

The Transgender Bathroom Debate
I’ve been mulling over this new transgender
bathroom law. I’m not a bigot nor am I afraid of the LGBT community. I’m an
advocate of gay-marriage believing all people should be treated fairly and
equally. I just don’t think permitting anyone
in any bathroom, locker room or
shower, regardless of the sex they were born, benefits our children.
My fear is a pedophile or some other type of unsavory
person will use this law to try to hurt the most vulnerable in our society. The
predators won’t even have to work or try (they don’t even have to disguise
themselves) to commit a crime. For
example, a man with a bad plan on his
mind can walk into a restroom, locker room or shower and there is no one to
stop him—he will have every right to be there—and he could hurt someone.
I do realize our transgender population is less
than one percent and we have an obligation to protect and help the minority.
But what of the bad situations that could arise, not at the hands of the
transgender community, but from the bad seeds in our society?
Again, it is not my fear that a transgender is
going to commit a crime. I truly don’t have a problem sharing a bathroom with
them. I have probably been in a restroom at one time or another with someone
LGBT. And that’s fine.
But is it really a myth that a sexual predator will take advantage of this new law? I
would say right now, we don’t know for sure.
What is your opinion on this?

The Donald vs. Hil-liar-y
In watching the race to the White House the past few months,
I believe the candidates for presidency will be Hil-liar-y Clinton and Donald Trump.
I predict Trump will win.
The Donald isn’t a politician and that’s what makes him the most appealing to so many angry Americans. It doesn’t matter that
he supported Democrats in the past. It doesn’t matter that he filed bankruptcy
a few times or that he outsources to China, Japan, Honduras and Brazil. It
doesn’t matter that he’s been married three times and had an affair on Ivana,
his first wife. It doesn’t even make a difference that he’s rude and obnoxious
and English appears to be his second language.
The only thing that matters is he’s tapped into millions of ticked off Americans’ emotions.
I also believe that not having the establishment and GOP
rallying behind Trump is an advantage. It just reinforces he’s not a
politician.
And that’s going
to win him the presidency.
