Political

Conventional thinking says that the sooner the field shrinks from Kasich, Ben Carson, and Ted Cruz the better chance for Marco Rubio to gain the Republican nomination but what if a different path is considered.  Let us say that by Kasich staying in the race Ohio is denied as a win for Donald Trump as are a few other states.  While at the same time Texas is won by Ted Cruz instead of the Donald. Ben would keep smiling I guess.  Maybe enough 2nd place finishes by Marco Rubio will enable him to squeak by in the delegate count at the end just enough to deny Mr. Trump the nomination. Then Kasich and Cruz could give the delegates they won to Marco at the convention enabling him to get the Republican nomination.  You might think this is too strange too occur but 6 months ago nobody thought a  business man with no political experience would be the front runner in the Republican Presidential race either.

No, I’m not working for the Ted Cruz campaign but if Ben Carson wants to have an impact on the Presidential election today could be that day. Ben Carson has a steady 6-10% of the vote and if he suspended his campaign today and endorsed a former competitor he could change the direction of the race just before the Nevada Primary.  If that would be the case there is only one candidate in the top three who hasn’t stooped to below the belt attacks on him and that is Marco Rubio.  Marco Rubio trails the Donald by 10-20% in the Nevada polls and with Jeb Bush out and Ben’s endorsement this could put him over the top.  Dr. Carson is an incredibly intelligent and gifted individual who has made difficult decisions in the past that have saved life’s. Today I ask him to make another tough decision that could save the life of his party and heal the nation as a whole.

When an individual is arrested no matter if the case is thrown out the person lives with the pain for a lifetime.  I should know because I was arrested for a crime that was so fallacious that it was thrown out before a grand jury was even called, yet in the back of my head it always disturbs me that someone might presume wrongly. If the police had done even 1/2 of an investigation they would have seen that the crime I was accused was physically impossible. It was more likely that I had tail or Santa Clause existed then the accusation that was put in front of them was true  but my name isn’t Clinton so arrest 1st ask questions later.  The police threatened me in unspoken terms after the case was dropped after I asked them to arrest the individual who brought false charges to the court. I later won a civil case against this individual but with him being a penniless lawyer it amounted to a box of beans.

The fear is so profound that I’ve written about almost everything but have held this one back. Yet there are too many innocent people out there that are “presumed guilty” even before a trial occurs, that I had to speak out.  Justice needs to be heard throughout our land and the investigators should be more interested in that factor then got a collar for their medals. Good life’s across this nation are being destroyed because of false accusations and we need to put a stop to it!   Here a few solutions (below) that could insure justice is truly heard.

(1) PRINT- The media should be forced to print information on those who’s cases have been dropped or face libel lawsuits.

(2) PROSECUTE- Those who bring false charges should be prosecuted as aggressively as those who have been accused.

(3) PROTECT- Individuals who have brought charges against another individual should be given protection against those individuals even court protection during the investigative period.

(3) PROVIDE– Unless their is a court order that an arrest is necessary for public safety at that moment, investigators should provide time for the accused (with legal counsel)to state their case before any arrest can be taken place.  This way clear alibi’s can be thoroughly vetted in advance.

Right now John Kasich holds the key to see who wins the Republican Presidential Primary and the longer he holds onto it without acting, the more difficult it will be to insert.  Governor Kasich needs to suspend his Presidential race or at least remove himself from the Nevada Primary consideration to insure that someone other then Donald Trump is the Republican nominee.  I say remove himself from the Nevada primary because maybe in his mind he wants to consider the fight but at least he should give Rubio the gloves to go against Trump in this important state where he is out of contention.  If Rubio is able to squeak out a victory or come within the margin of victory maybe Governor Kasich will realize that the private sector is calling him back and drop out of the race.  Governor Kasich as a public servant that has done great things for your country it’s time to make the personal sacrifice for her now and hand in the key.

Drug prices continue to rise at the same time the need for medicine continues to grow. What makes the problem more precarious is that without the profit incentive drug companies won’t invest millions of dollars in finding cures that can truly make a difference or even safe life’s.  Therefore an all the above approach must be utilized. Here are the steps that should be taken.

(1) A drug company can extend the federal patent on medicine up to a decade longer if it is willing to work on a smaller margin on the profit of such drugs.

(2) Natural Cures will also have the ability to receive an FDA review to compete with said drugs in the marketplace.

(3) The FDA procedure for approving drugs will be streamlined so that the cost to bring them to market will be reduced.  People will be able to utilize experimental medicine (once the sign a waiver) at a reduce cost as well.

(4) Lawsuits against manufacturers of such medicine will be capped as it relates to punitive damages.

(5) Make it easier to receive a drug patent and allow miniscule differences to be patent-able. Therefore allowing greater competition in the marketplace.

It’s sad to report but Jeb Bush has been Trumped again as his name jebbush.com leads to the Donald Trump website.  Everyone is entitled to his/her mistakes but owning your own name as a link to your website is a mistake the Bush team shouldn’t have made.  This begs the question if the Governor can’t run an effective campaign how well can he lead the country especially with all the big monies behind him? That is another reason why I’ve been sticking with Marco Rubio who has run a fairly tight campaign on a shoe string(s) budget and owns his own name for now.
