And there we have it. More to come.


After Four days of canvassing … and it still isn’t over … my favorite quote …

“I’m sorry - my mom isn’t home … she’s out right now voting and she’s taking her mom with her. It’s the first time either of them have voted EVER.

His mom is 67 - according to the records.


On the ground support still rocking on #election day #knockharder


Did you?


Bob Schieffer - just said it ( i paraphrase) …

Today is not a referendum on Trump. Today is a referendum on America and its citizens about what they will accept and what they will do about it.


Another post from two years ago that records a conversation I had before I realized there was no point.


Danny’s Speech … posted 2 years ago today

I repeat the words I wrote at the time;

”… it was a movie. It was true. Keep it in mind when you think. When you vote. When you live.

”The company’s legal team had to double-check that it was even possible to send that much money in a single wire transfer.”

Uber’s CEO of Iranian descent was the first to pull out of the Saudi conference ‘Davos In The Desert, even as the Saudi Govt controls 10% of Uber.

‘We the people’ can continue to be angry at what MBS did to Khashoggi (we know it was him), or we can vote with out feet and use other methods of transport.

But I am not placing bets. We the people are well trained in cognitive dissonance .. particularly when it comes to our wallets.


Never take the right to vote for granted … this is what others have done for you, so that you can vote.)

”What I am asking you, even demanding of you, is that in every checkbox you mark on your ballot, you vote against this burgeoning hate. That’s the best gift you can give to my mom — and your country — on her birthday.”

The sixteenth in my series …

‘Real Stories of Real People – Travels Without Charley’

has been published on BIZCATALYST 360°.

If Steve only knew that his vote was just 1% of all that was needed to switch his entire congressional district.


“Aloha” … read the sign on the door … right above the other sign that said “This house is protected by my gun and the Good Lord.”

On the campaign trail.

Election Day is tomorrow but National Day Calendar doesn’t record that, instead highlighting

  • National Sax Day and
  • National Nachos Day

A pity they couldn’t include the election … I have a feeling it is the only way some people will know it’s happening.

Thanks to Dan Lewis

Taxi Leaks: Is The Tide Finally Turning Against Uber?

”After the two day hearing, Dinah Rose Uber’s defence council was filmed getting into a black Taxi. Obviously she isn’t stupid enough to put her own safety into the hands of one of Uber’s drivers.



30 Million Early Ballots Have Been Cast for Midterm Elections

”Forecasters aren’t predicting that overall turnout this year will hit 2016 levels (137.5 million; more than 60 percent of the electorate), but Democratic and Republican analysts, along with independent political scientists, say turnout could approach 50 percent, levels not seen for a midterm since the turbulent 1960s.

Which … as I have written about before was actually the highest mid term turnout ever.

Seriously, if less than half of the country can’t even be bothered to vote … the silence will speak volumes.


President Donald Trump Tweetstorm

” … the endlessly energetic President Donald Trump heads to Montana and Florida today for yet more gatherings.”

Endlessly energetic? He’s a couch potato.
