Catching Up With A Week That Was
Much has happened since going to Memphis to attend the International Blues Challenge. For starters, the NY Times Travel section was two weeks late in providing a good article, “Roll Over, Elvis. Meet Indie Memphis.” We now know we missed a lot.

The Board Chairman for the Black Republican Caucus in West Palm Beach, Florida is asking for the chief of police to step down immediately.
Based on his claims, should she resign?

as I was not Black.
Then they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out-
as I was not a Muslim.
Then they came for the Homosexuals, and I did not speak out-
as I was not a Homosexual.
Then they came for the Mexicans, and I did not speak out-
as I was not a Mexican.

as I was not a Woman.

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

The terms of the Versailles treaty after the first world war plunged Germany into economic difficulties, exacerbated by the 1929 stock market crash. People looked for someone to blame, someone to hate.
They wanted a strong leader, who could Make Germany Great Again.
Remind you of anyone?

I’m happy to report that both Hillary and Trump lost in my district today.
In First Congressional District 17 of Kansas, Bernie Sanders won by a landslide of 76.4% of the vote and Ted Cruz got 51% of the Republican nomination, beating Trump by slightly more than 2:1.
The Washington State caucus is Saturday, March 26th. The Republicans are turning out to vote at the caucus’ 3 to 1 compared to Democrats.
If you want to vote for Bernie Sanders you need to vote at your caucus.
If you want to vote for Hillary Clinton you also need to vote at your caucus.
Seriously. Please vote.
