Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show Podcast. This week: When the stakes couldn’t be any higher, as Election day 2020 draws near, Halli and her partner in politics, veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper, assess the state of the race in what seems like the longest presidential race in American history, sigh.
There are a lot of questions that need answering this week. Can we believe the polls showing that Joe Biden is ahead? How much effect will the rising cases of Covid-19 nationwide have on the outcome of the race? How far is Donald Trump willing to go to retain his presidency? Is Vice President Mike Pence willing to kill Americans to win re-election? What happens if the election is thrown to the Republican packed Supreme Court? Will Senator Bernie Sanders be able to contain the progressive wing of the Democratic Party through election day? Can Democrats flip the Senate? What about red states blue? These questions and answers, and even more this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, always available at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com, on all your favorite apps, and on your Alexa device, too.
Wake me when it’s over. Election2020, the fate of the U.S. Senate, Amy Coney Barrett, Covid-19, mail-in voting, the Latino vote, Kamala Harris who? Florida, Florida, Florida and that’s just where we begin.

It was just another week in the storied presidency of Donald J. Trump. Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show and we’re just beginning.
Mike Flynn to the pokey, Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani, James Comey, Melania Trump those topics and more when journalists Halli Casser-Jayne and Matthew Cooper present their fun and insightful political conversation on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.
A woman is raped; the age old story. She accuses her assailant. No one believes her. The cops, the Court and the court of public opinion blames the woman for enticing the man, she the seductress who got everything she deserved, the rapist the real victim, or so he pleads. And they believe him.
It’s 2021. It’s the age of the Me, Too Movement. Women are supposed to be believed when they accuse their rapist. Are they? Some might say things are changing. If they are, it’s for public figures, but not necessarily for private citizens. Only in rare cases, even in the 21st Century, are woman who report having been sexually assaulted believed.
Just ask the 25 women who have accused the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, including non-consensual kissing or groping, since the 1970s.
And ask me, too. Unwittingly, no seductress me, I have been raped by Donald Trump, too. So have you, and you, and you! No shame here!
Donald Trump is a serial rapist. He f*cks everybody over who gets in his way. Just ask his ex-wife. Be sure to ask his ex-Vice-President Mike Pence. Don’t ask Lindsey Graham.
No overstatement here.
He warned us. Remember? “And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything.”
Really? Donald Trump raped you, you say? Yes, really, if not literally, figuratively. Either way, it’s rape.
Sadly, like so many men before him, Trump has dodged punishment for his crimes. We remain his victims, his prey, the people Trump has f*cked time and time again, we left to suffer with the guilt of the abused, because we couldn’t stop him. Not even Nancy Pelosi could, twice.
Trump has been assaulting We the People since he declared his candidacy for the presidency. Not surprising. Remember how it all began with Trump f*cking over our longtime ally Mexico, accusing Mexico of sending people bringing drugs, criminals and rapists into the United States.
In his first words as president to the nation and the world, President Trump delivered his inaugural address, a populist manifesto that depicted the United States as a land of abandoned factories, economic angst, rising crime and dystopian “carnage,” fucking over the nation to the world that was his father’s land of opportunity, the one he squandered, until he assaulted his way into the American presidency.
Trump f*cked us over from the beginning, bowing to his hero Vladimir Putin, selling out America to Vlad’s whims. Congress tried to get to the bottom of it.
You all remember The Mueller report, officially titled ‘Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election,’ the official report documenting the findings and conclusions of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 United States presidential election, allegations of conspiracy or coordination between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia, and allegations of obstruction of justice.
But no, Trump stonewalled, lied and obfuscated so that the report that did NOT exonerate Trump of wrongdoing was an important failure. We were sure we’d stop the serial rapist then. But no, Trump f*cked us again.
We won’t review Impeachment 1.0. Suffice it to say that Trump offered up his middle-finger and his ‘you-know-what’ to the House Managers, refusing to cooperate with a giant almost Rebel yell: “F*ck you all.” (Or is that ya’ll?)
But it was Impeachment 2.0 that was the clarifying moment for me. As a founder of the podcast movement, (The Halli Casser-Jayne Show dot com) these last five years, I focused on the presidency of Donald Trump. Week after week my loyal listeners heard me rant and rave about Trump. I talked about my new friend anxiety, my fear for America after Donald Trump’s assault on our revered Constitution. I spoke of abject sadness, intolerable frustration, unerring anger on what Trump had wrought on this nation.
Still, it took me nearly a week after Trump’s second acquittal to understand the discomfort that I hadn’t been able to name all those years, since Donald Trump broke into my life, held me captive, and f*cked this flag-loving, card-carrying American patriot, who held the U.S. Constitution close to her breast, a former war correspondent who understood the ways of the despot better than most, but not how insidious rape can be.
I can now officially say, “Me, Too.” I was raped by the former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
But Me,Too is not good enough. It can’t just be Me, Too. It’s We, Too — We the People. That’s the America I knew before I became the victim of Donald Trump, even if I didn’t realize what was happening.
Which leaves me to maybe understand those who still don’t realize what Trump did to them, to America. You know, as if they’ve all been on drugs or something, MAGAs in particular. How long will it take for MAGA’s to wake up from their drug induced sleep?
I don’t know. But maybe Bill Cosby can answer the question, Cosby who f*cked us all over, too, His answer will have to be issued from behind bars.
Proving, there is always hope.
WHY JOE BIDEN SHOULD REALLY RUN FOR PRESIDENT 12.17.07
Joe Biden is intelligent, experienced, engaging, and handsome (in an East Coast kinda way). He’s seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for president – sorta. Biden, whose first bid for the presidency dissolved in an alleged plagiarism scandal, since proved phony, seems to be making a half-hearted attempt to achieve the nomination. And it’s too bad. Biden just might be the right candidate for the job.
His life story reads like the tragic stories romance writer Queen Nora Roberts dreams up. His first wife and infant daughter were killed in a car crash shortly after he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972. He was sworn into office at the bedside of his surviving but seriously injured two sons.
While his instinct was to resign after the tragedy in order to care for his ailing sons, he was persuaded to remain in the Senate. It was then he began commuting an hour-and-a-half every day by train from his home in the suburbs of Wilmington, Delaware to Washington, D.C., which he continues to do to this day. Thankfully his sons recovered and are grown now. He has a daughter with his second wife, Jill, and five grandchildren.
The hard knocks seem to have done him good. Surely Biden is not perfect. But as a political figure he offers something that this country needs in a leader in these crazy times. Biden is REAL!
Yeah, REAL. And for those of you who have forgotten the way it is spelled: R.E.A.L. It has been so long since we had an honest candidate standing in front of us, we hardly recognize the symptoms. You know, sez what he means and means what he sez…calls it like it is…REAL!
These days real is so anathema to American politics that when we see it we don’t know quite what to do with it. And we don’t seem to want to believe it. No campaign slogans here, no code words, no hype, no “straight Talk.” Just REAL talk.
Yes, it is as if REAL seems to scare the pants off of Americans. Politicians have been handing Americans lines for so long they’ve come to expect them, want them, NEED them.
America has become a histrionic country, hooked on hyperbole. We’re strung out on sound-biteitis. W want fire and brimstone, Elmer Gantry, Harold Hill (ary). We want legendary and hope-filled. But the last thing that we seem to want, and the one thing America needs most, is truth.
Biden’s career in the Senate has been laudable. He is a longstanding member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and serves as its chairman. He also serves on the Judiciary Committee.
A leading voice against the Bush Administration’s handling of the Iraq War, although he did vote to authorize the war, he was a major proponent of seeing the inspections through before taking military action against Saddam Hussein.
He says that he is most proud of his having authored the Violence Against Women’s Act. He has worked tirelessly to fight for crime legislation.
What strikes me as ironic in this campaign is the fact that in nearly every debate Biden’s fellow Democrats have repeatedly applauded Joe for his positions, made his word the one that means something. “Joe is right…I agree with Joe…Joe’s absolutely right…Joe is exactly right…I have the deepest respect for my friend Joe Biden,” one or the other has chimed in.
With endorsements like that, who needs Oprah? Or Barack Obama’s promises of change? Or Hillary Clinton’s experience?
With Joe Biden you’d get experience and honesty. Now wouldn’t that be a REAL change?
Excerpt from A YEAR IN MY PAJAMAS WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA copyright 2009 All rights reserved.
BARBIE, FOX NEWS HOST SHANNON BREAM, AND ME
Question: What’s the difference between your Barbie doll and a Fox News babe? Answer: Plastic and a brain. Whomp, whomp. And so began the battle royal between this host of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show Podcast, Fox News @ Night host Shannon Bream and her devotees, members of the Trump cult.
On November 21, Ms. Bream posted a tweet siding with Trump who that day had done, once again, something unpresidential: The President of the United States attacked the reputation of the Supreme Court, not a decision with which he disagreed, adding the Supreme Court to Trump’s long list of American institutions whose legitimacy, for his personal political gain, he has worked systematically to destroy.
There is no love lost between Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts a Bush appointee who in a great surprise to Conservatives and Trump had saved former President Obama’s signature legislation The Affordable Care Act (ACA). Justice Roberts, however, clearly frustrated at Trump’s many attempts to delegitimize the Court, a co-equal branch of government, broke precedent and responded to President Trump after Trump said he was going to file a complaint about the 9th Circuit Court that had just temporarily blocked an executive order that would have changed US asylum policy.
Chief Justice John Roberts said: “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges…”
Back to Shannon Bream who in response tweeted: “I did read it [Chief Justice John Roberts’ statement], and I also remember PresObama calling out SCOTUS as they sat feet away from him at the 2010 State of the Union (unable to respond/defend themselves). He so mischaracterized their recent ruling that even politifact didn’t buy it, so …”
This was followed by a tweet which has been scrubbed, whose content triggered me to respond:
“Barbie, [Trump] criticism allowed. Deliberate destruction of the reputation of one of the foundations of the Republic to sow dischord (sp) to gin up his base to come to his aid should Mueller or impeachment make it necessary, that is new by Trump and unacceptable.”
Ms. Bream did not respond to the argument of my tweet, but seized upon my calling her “Barbie,” her attempt at deflection from having to answer with a cogent response, and her call to her followers to bear arms.
Bream deflected: “I’m never sure if people calling me Barbie is supposed to be an insult? I mean she has been a surgeon, paleontologist, served in every branch of the military, firefighter, architect, pilot, computer engineer, astronaut, etc. I’m just a measly law school honors grad” �♀️
To which I responded, “Barbie was also made of plastic.”
I might have added: “And had no brain.”
No Bream response.
I later copied a tweet to the law school graduate, Bream, posted by Ted Lieu: Dear @realDonaldTrump: Chief Justice John Roberts is right and you are wrong. The Judiciary is not an arm of the Executive Branch. Their role is not to obey your point of view. The Judicial Branch is nonpartisan & it exists as a check and balance on you. Have a nice Thanksgiving” with the following note to Bream:
“You would think a woman with a law degree would know this. Happy Thanksgiving, counselor.”
Again, no response.
OK, whatever. But allow me to focus on two points. The first is that out of the thousands and thousands of ironically, face-shaming tweets to me by Bream’s ardent followers, not one spoke to the argument of my tweet, and nor did Shannon Bream. What she did, a la most Trumpsters, was to seize on that which she could to deflect from having to defend her ludicrous defense of Trump.
And while one might argue that calling Bream a Barbie was out-of-line, it would miss the point. The use of the term Barbie had nothing to do with television eye-candy Bream’s pretty blonde hair and blue-eyes that helped the Florida native and Liberty University graduate become a participant in the 1991 Miss America pageant and fourth runner-up in the Miss Florida USA pageant (later owned by Donald Trump). It had everything to do with the fact that Ms. Bream, has a law degree from Florida State University College of Law, and as an anchor of a much-watched news show, and an officer of the Court, a responsibility to stick to the facts.
Instead, Bream played to the most cynical, to the lowest common denominator, going for the joke rather than the substance, the formula for the success of Fox News whose motto should be “Always take the low road.” She sicced her followers on me, who called me names I would only call Donald Trump, doing exactly what they accused me of, never my intent.
I said two points. Here’s the second, but I’ll leave it to veteran newsman Ted Koppel to make the point for me as he did so brilliantly in a 2017 exchange with Fox News host Sean Hannity, when in a remarkably blunt interview Koppel told the Fox News commentator Sean Hannity that he was “bad for America.”
Hannity replied: “We have to give some credit to the American people that they’re somewhat [my italics] intelligent and that they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show. You’re cynical,” he added to Koppel, to which Koppel agreed.
Hannity pressed further: “Do you think we’re bad for America? You think I’m bad for America?”
“Yeah,” Koppel replied flatly. “You have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts,” he said.
As has Shannon Bream, which brings me back to Barbie, a doll, not reality, but a plastic play toy meant to spark the imagination of little girls. But that is all.
You’d think a 47 year old woman with a law degree and a job many would envy would know the difference between a toy and reality. You’d think.
THE AIR WE BREATHE…
Let’s talk. If the American Cancer Society told you that if you smoke in the room with your children their chances for developing lung cancer would rise by an alarming rate, but, a few scientists tell you, wait, not so fast, maybe the science isn’t there to prove it, but WAIT, that scientist happens to be a member of a political party that is in opposition to another political party and has deliberately taken the opposing political stand on the issue, what are you going to do?
Are you going to blow smoke in your 5 year old daughter or sons face, or are you going err on the side of caution and not blow smoke into your child’s lungs? Anyone who says that they will continue to smoke in front of their child until all the facts are in, deserves to be reported for child abuse.
Don’t like my argument? Let’s try this. There is scientific evidence that if a young person sustains enough hits in the head while playing football, that young person is likely to develop brain dysfunction later in life.
News stories about former NFL players diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease better known as CTE, have parents rethinking their children’s participation in some sports.
On the other hand, there are scientists who say the data isn’t there yet to fully substantiate the long-term effects of constant jarring of the brain on our youth.
Now your 13-year-old comes to you and says I want to try out for the football team. You’re at least going to hesitate before you say yes, right? You’re likely to err on the side of caution. If you don’t, you deserve to be reported for child abuse.
Sure, every day there’s more and more data thrown at us warning us of the possible negative effects on our being from this that and the other thing. Some data we pay attention to, and some we don’t.
Not many stopped smoking when early reports came out of the devastating effects of tar and nicotine on one’s lungs. But, not many folks are still smoking cigarettes and blowing smoke in their children’s lungs these days, are they? And sign ups for youth football participation has declined substantially as worries mount about concussions known as CTE.
But oddly, the very air we breath, the very water we drink, the earth which is our greatest gift, all creatures great and small are being tossed to the wind by Republicans, despite the warning from scientists that were so dire that a Republican President, Richard Nixon, proposed the establishment of The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an independent agency of the United States federal government for environmental protection, nearly 50 years ago.
Let’s get away from science for a moment, now itself considered an environmental hazard by the GOP… If you’ve lived on earth as long as some of us have, you don’t need a scientist to tell you that the climate has changed, the weather is different, the taste of the air no longer sweet as it once was. Even the color of our rainbows is muted in the filthy atmosphere that is the air we breathe.
Oceans are rising as our polar caps melt, extreme weather conditions are becoming the norm, the streets of Miami are flooded more often than not, asthma is on the rise in children, Pakistan just recorded its hottest day in April ever, 122.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
But back to smoke and mirrors, the games of the whacko science deniers in charge of our government these days, an EPA commissioner, Scott Pruitt who is himself an environmental hazard, a climate change denier bought and paid for by the Fossil Fuel Industry from the land of shake, rattle and roll, thanks to fracking, the world’s earthquake capitol of the world O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A, OKLAHOMA, not OK…Scott Pruitt, who under the guidance of a president who has his finger in the till of the U.S. Treasury and the banks of the oil barons of the world has reversed and delayed numerous environmental rules, relaxed enforcement of existing rules, and halted the Environmental PROTECTION Agency’s efforts to combat climate change, because its good for business, if not children’s lungs.
All, by the way while the GOP spends the people’s money like it is water, not gas, on tax breaks for themselves while they propose robbing the poor of their food stamps and Medicaid and air.
As I said, we as a nation used to err on the side of caution. We no longer do. Maybe it’s all that carbon dioxide we’re breathing, or the buzz to our brains we get from our mobile phones and computers. Could it be the plastic manufacturers that have killed our thought processes?
I’m not sure I know the answer to these questions, but I do know this: We sure are stupid these days. Because when we as a nation choose greed over our children’s health and place our politics above our people and allow the likes of Donald Trump and Scott Pruitt to rape our environment for personal and political gain, it might be too late for our environment, but it is more importantly way too late for America, a nation under assault by a host of hazards, many a fully-functioning EPA can’t protect, but some only an EPA can.
Only idiots would choose not to err on the side of caution…idiots a yuuuuuuuuuge environmental hazard in Washington D.C. these days.

INSIDE THE HOPPER…A NOTE ON STRUMPET IVANKA TRUMP & THE VOTE TO DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD…Ivanka Trump is no friend of women or Women’s Rights. She’s a shill for the most Women Hating Regime in American history led by her misogynist father, Donald Trump. One might even call her a STRUMPET. The day following her father’s regime’s announcement that Strumpet would be officially joining her father’s administration as an unpaid employee (nepotism is illegal) with talk of how STRUMPET would make great contributions to women’s rights (that makes nepotism in her case acceptable) — with a rare tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence (that it was a man who broke the tie should be noted) the Senate on Thursday sent a bill to Donald Trump’s desk giving states permission to withhold federal family planning funds from Planned Parenthood. Surely the timing on Strumpet’s official role on the Trump team and the accolades offered up for her — one of the few women in power in the Trump White House — was no coincidence. How DJTrump Inc. plays their media games is no mystery. It’s always the cover-up the day before the crime. (Note, Trump even trotted out the Missing Mrs. to talk women’s rights this week, no coincidence there either). First there would be the controversial Planned Parenthood vote today. And there would be the announcement that one of the few powerful women in the WH would be shuffled off to Buffalo or some distant shore taking the blame for the Obamacare fiasco, but that’s a different story for another day along with a conversation that focuses on the fact that Trump is very, very good at blaming women for his own shortcomings. Anyway, Strumpet has not only become a shill for her father, but we now know she’s not the brightest girl in the room, too dumb to understand she’s being used by her father and his women hating team. And while this vote occurred, she let Pence break the tie, stood by and uttered not a word or offered a pretty bat of the expensive false eyelashes she likes to wear. Understand, that any women who says she truly cares about women’s rights and issues pertaining to women could not have sanctioned such a vote. Two Republican women — there are few — stood up and voted nay (give them credit) Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. AGAIN STRUMPET uttered not a word, the self-professed defender of women in the mostly male WH led by her Daddy. Now there will be those who will read this and go off half-cocked (like Trump) and accuse me of being pro-abortion, and not understanding this bill was a vote against abortion, not a women’s right to affordable healthcare. And there will be those who shout me down for being snarky and whatever else because I dare to call the Strumpet what she is. To you I say, Poppycock (hm, good name for Strumpet’s Daddy). Planned Parenthood saves women’s lives. Statistics show that wherever there are Planned Parenthood facilities women lead longer, healthier lives. In much of America, Planned Parenthood has been the savior of poor women. And, of course, on the issue of abortion: It IS the law of the land and it gives women the right to choose. By the by, Federal tax payer money does NOT pay for abortions. So Poppycock and his little boys are just flashing their little you know what’s around when they play their games with PP. Boys will be boys, ya know. And some women like it like that. Not this woman! So, have at it. I have a terrible sinus infection and I’m feeling frisky today and up for a fight.

DONALD TRUMP: GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
Don’t plotz. I’m going to say something nice about Donald Trump. I am. Are you ready? On your mark, get set: Donald Trump has done something good for America, and for that he deserves something nice said about him.
What has he done? Donald Trump has gotten America, and each and every American who cares about our great Republic to take a good, hard, honest look at the problems that have been plaguing our great nation for too long, and the people who have been running our government.
Is Donald Trump a mensch?
You may not like Trump’s delivery of the message and you may not like Trump’s solutions, but surely you have to acknowledge that Trump has got you thinking about what our government has become.
There’s something rotten in Washington, about that Trump is right. To coin a phrase, “money talks and bullsh*t walks.” And whether you are a liberal, a conservative or an independent, and whether or not you thought so before this election season, Trump has named the problem. And like calling Radical Islam what it is, naming the problem is the first step in solving a problem.
Crony capitalism is at the core of our nation’s troubles. We now have a political class bought and paid for by the high-rollers of Wall Street and K Street. And thank you, Citizen’s United, the very heart of our democracy, our free-elections, have been compromised.
The GOP and the DNC are no longer political parties, but activist organizations, their members’ tools of the high-rollers. Americans no longer pledge their allegiance to The United States of America, but to their respective parties, of which the people are only a pawn in the game of those that control, which, oy vey, thanks to Mr. Trump they are learning.
It is interesting to me that the two men still standing in the Republican Party out of the original class of 17 potential nominees are Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, imperfect candidates both, but that is not my point. They are the antithesis of each other, and symbolic of the great fight to be won or lost in Election 2016.
Trump is Mr. The Art of the Deal, and Cruz is Mr. No Deal. Trump is funding his own campaign; Cruz is now bought and paid for by the conservative machine. Trump is a man who refuses to walk lock, stock and barrel with an ideology and Cruz appears to have never seen an ideology he didn’t walk lock, stock and barrel with.
The establishment is losing its macaroons over this. How dare the man who appears to be the presumptive nominee of the GOP not stand resolute with the party platform?
Can you be a conservative and still believe that Planned Parenthood does a lot of good for women, or that Medicare and Social Security don’t need to be abolished but rather reformed?
I said above that at the heart of the problems facing America at this critical juncture in our history is crony capitalism. But here’s an even bigger problem: Our leaders, of both parties, are no longer allowed to be free thinkers. Either they tow the party line, or shalom. We should never forget that our greatest leaders who led us to our greatest moments were those who put forth great, new ideas.
Bottom-line, you can call Donald Trump a schmuck and you don’t have to like his campaign schtick or his spiel, but you’d be a schmegegge if you didn’t acknowledge that he’s a yiddisher kop for exposing the truth. We the people should give Trump credit where credit is due.

OH, HILLARY! I WANT TO LIKE YOU, BUT…
Hillary…Hillary…Hillary…oh Hillary. Oh, I want to love you. Oh, I want to support you. Oh, I want a woman in the White House, oh, oh, oh. But, Hillary, I just ain’t feeling it this political season, oh, oh, oh.
And it’s driving me Oh so crazy, so crazy that thoughts of what’s wrong with your presidential campaign last night woke me up in the middle of the night.
That’s when I asked myself: What’s wrong with Hillary? Why ain’t I feelin’ it for Hillary? After all, if experience is important to the job of leader of the free world, Hillary’s long resume actually makes her Overqualified to be President of the United States. I mean, really, think about it: Lawyer, her Children’s Defense Fund work, First Lady of Arkansas, CHIP, First Lady of the United States, healthcare, Senator, Secretary of State. Oh, and did I mention mom and now grand mom? And if we’re touting her many accomplishments, how about being married to Bill all these years? That’s experience in and of itself.
In 2008, I was Hillary’s champion. Why? Then I understood the importance of breaking men’s long hold on the Oval office. I very much admired her accomplishments. Truth be told, back in 2008, I never understood the O thing, and might I add, I still don’t, but that’s a subject for another day. I agreed with her on a woman’s right to choose, and still do. I believed America’s health care system needed an overhaul, and still do. And while I was against the Iraq War, even though I lean right on foreign policy, as does Hillary, I excused her vote for it, sympathetic that she was the representative from New York where after 9/11 emotions ran riot. How could she justify Not voting for the war as the senator representing The Empire State in 2002?
But supporting a candidate for president is not only about voting for a candidate’s resume and in some ways it is more than a vote for a candidate’s policies. In many ways who we vote for is an emotional decision, what according to author Darice Britt, psychologists call “The peripheral that emphasizes emotional appeals and focuses on personal traits and generating positive feelings.”
So, here it is: I have -0- peripheral feelings about Hillary. In fact, this political season, she leaves me cold and I asked myself why into the oh so wee hours of the night.
And I thought, yes, eight years later, Hillary continues to say all the right things. She’s right, in my Opinion, on most of the issues. I was Over the moon when in the last debate with her nemesis Bernie Sanders she came to the defense of Israel, even as the Democratic Party seeks to move to the left and blames Israel when Israel is right, a rare moment of Openess from Hillary.
So what’s the problem?
Well, here it is…
Hillary is being Overshadowed by Donald Trump, and the bluster of Bernie Sanders and therefore pales in comparison.
And so, as I tore myself away from CNN airing once again the golden locks of Donald Trump, I reminded myself into the oh, so wee hours of the Obscure night — as I hope others will do — that all that glitters is not gold.

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW: FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION IN THE UNITED STATES?
If it’s true we learn by doing, I have learned. I have learned of something so abominable that is happening to young women worldwide but is also happening right in The United States of America.
It began in my conducting research for a show featuring the author Joni Binder and her book MILE 46, FACE TO FACE IN MAASAILAND, and pioneering women’s advocate, the founder of Futures Without Violence, Esta Soler.
The show was to focus on Joni’s book which recounts her time living with the Maasai in Kenya, Africa. In large part Joni’s book is a photographic essay as well as a recounting of the customs of the Maasai she witnessed living there. The book also addresses her witness to the ritual of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
I love Joni’s book. Having her as my guest allowed me to talk about one of my favorite places in the world and more importantly, afforded me the opportunity to have a significant conversation about this antiquated and cruel practice victimizing so many women, Female Genital Mutilation. Esta agreed to lend her significant knowledge of violence against women to our conversation.
So, while I was doing the research for the show I came across this startling fact: The number of women and girls at risk for female genital mutilation in the UNITED STATES has more than doubled in the past 10 years, according to figures released by the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).
For those who might not know, female genital mutilation is an injurious custom that involves the removal of part or the entire clitoris. FGM is often performed without anesthetic. According to Equality Now.org, “FMG can have lifelong health consequences including chronic infection, hemorrhage, severe pain during urination, menstruation, and sexual intercourse. It could lead to complications during childbirth and increases the risk of newborn deaths. Women may also suffer psychological trauma as a result of being subjected to FGM.”
Some girls die from the procedure.
What are its origins? Apparently, the practice predates religion and has no religious significance in either Islam nor Christianity. Still, communities of both faiths continue to circumcise their daughters, believing it will cleanse or purify the girl, ensure she remains sexually chaste, prevent cheating on her future husband and keep her behaving well.
It is the ultimate weapon of control of a paternal society of its women and girls.
FGM is recognized internationally as a human rights violation, torture and a form of violence and discrimination against women and girls.
FGM has been illegal in the U.S. since 1996. But an amendment to the law banning vacation cutting — the practice of sending young American girls overseas for the procedure of mutilation — or having a traditional midwife or cutter sent to perform FGM in the U.S. wasn’t passed until 2012.
And, yet, even with laws in place here in the United States, the land of the free and the home of the brave, more than half a million women and girls in the U.S. are at risk of undergoing FGM in the U.S. or abroad.
Many have already undergone the procedure including 166,173 under the age of 18, according to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB). And the states in the U.S. where this happens most frequently? California, New York and Minnesota.
So, how can it be that the number of women and girls at risk for female genital mutilation in the UNITED STATES has more than doubled in the past 10 years?
Inquiring minds want to know. And I want you to know!

MR. ART OF THE DEAL AND MR. NO DEAL
Go figure. Only the Republican Party of 2016 could manage to have Mr. The Art of the Deal and Mr. No Deal vying for the nod to become their candidate for president.
It is symbolic of a party that knows no in-betweens, which leans to its left and leans to its right, but always, always is in for a fight. No gray here.
The only thing gray about the GOP these days is its mascot the elephant. Is it the lack of gray matter that is at the heart of the party’s current problems?
Mr. The Art of the Deal Donald Trump, also the master of hyperbole, exaggeration and overstatement (I’m being hyperbolic here) is a fascinating candidate to be sure. His campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” really ought to be “Make America GRAY Again.”
In a way, is it not Trump’s flirtation with the gray that accounts for much of his crossover support?
Isn’t one of the reasons that the GOP establishment is so freaked about Trump’s potential win is that Trump is actually a “gray” candidate?
What’s a gray candidate? It’s an independent in elephant’s clothing who has hijacked the GOP. The opening for Trump was there. The GOP had no sure-fire candidate to run against Hillary. The Dems had Hillary, so no place for Trump there either. It’s impossible to make it to the presidency running as an independent candidate.
And so, Mr. The Art of the Deal who can never pass up a good deal saw an opening to make a deal and went for the GOP nod. Yeah, he’s tough on immigration, and on terrorism, but he’s also pragmatic. (He’s for saving Social Security and Medicare.) Dealmakers usually are realistic. Republicans these days aren’t.
So, yes, truth be told, the conservative wing of the GOP is right: Donald Trump ain’t no Right-winger. He’s probably not a Democrat either, the other party that has moved off its center to the left.
So what we have here folks is an independent running for the Republican nod, pulling the party to a place its leaders don’t want to go, to that gray area, where deals can be made by Mr. The Art of the Deal.
Now let’s move to the dark side and the world of Mr. No Deal, Ted Cruz, who clearly needs to enroll in Trump University and take a course in The Art of the Deal.
There ain’t no gray here, folks.
He’s dogmatic, inflexible and rigid. He’s the man who was willing to shut down the American government for 16 days. He’s also one of the most despised men in Congress, no fifty shades of gray about that.
While Cruz has shown some skill as an orator – Google his 21-hour reading of GREEN EGGS AND HAM – and, in fairness, has shown ample skill, unlike Trump, of playing the delicate, delegate game, he is also short on charm.
And as my late mother would say: “Oy what a punim (face)!” My girlfriend’s daughter recently remarked that he has beady eyes and therefore cannot be trusted.
I recently remarked in an interview with a well-known journalist on my show (The Halli Casser-Jayne Show for those who don’t know, click the link) who took it personally that call me small-minded, but I don’t think I want to spend the next four, and please not eight years, looking at the face of Ted Cruz. It’s a Richard Nixon thing, OK, and, admittedly, petty, too.
And then there’s Hillary Clinton, and that guy Bernie Sanders.
But that’s a subject for another day – a gray, rainy day.
DONALD TRUMP’S VERY BAD HAIR DAY
Ever wonder what it would be like to wake up with Donald Trump lying next to you in your bed? I hadn’t until this morning, when my crazy brain tripped into a visual I would just as soon forget. I’ll give you a peak: It had to do with hair, orange hair spread across a pillow – think Orangutan in shock! OK, enuf said.
Yesterday, Donald Trump had the equivalent of a very, bad hair day.
In fact, he’s had a series of bad days recently, suffering along with bad hair from what appears to be foot in mouth disease. From his startling statements on NATO, the possible use of nuclear weapons on our allies, the Geneva Conventions, violence against women and his defense of his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski charged on Tuesday with misdemeanor battery for grabbing a female reporter’s arm at a news conference earlier this month – oh, and did I mention his recent tweet that paired an unflattering shot of Mrs. Heidi Cruz with a photo of his own glamorous third wife, Melania (who probably never had a bad hair day in her life, for which I hate her)?
All of that followed with yesterday’s OMG statement: There would “have to be some form of punishment” for women who have abortions if the procedure were outlawed in the U.S.
Both the Right and the Left trounced on Trump pummeling him for his statement. You could almost hear Ted Cruz shouting in all his pomposity: “Off with Trump’s head, I mean hair!”
Finding himself in a rare hairy situation, Trump took little time to walk back what he’d said, issuing a statement that read: “If Congress were to pass legislation making abortion illegal and the federal courts upheld this legislation, or any state were permitted to ban abortion under state and federal law, the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman. The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb. My position has not changed – like Ronald Reagan, I am pro-life with exceptions.”
Of course, he could have said anything, and it wouldn’t have been enough to stop the bleeding begun by his earlier in artful remarks. As we all know, politics is blood sport. All politicians are vampires in waiting, ready to suck the blood out of their rivals. Get that first taste of blood and it’s Slurpy-time for politicians, as well as for the political pundits who this election cycle are looking even worse than the politicians they cover, no hair jokes hair…bada bada bing!
Which takes me back to my crazy brain and my hairy Donald Trump vision and this from Bo Goldman, the writer of such screen classics as Scent of a Woman and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest:
“They say that the hair is everything, you know? Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls, and just wanted to go to sleep forever?”
All the vampires, all the pundits, none who seem to understand that the rise of Donald Trump has nothing at all to do with what he says. And, of course, nothing at all to do with his hair. It’s all about what Donald Trump stands for.
Take Sominex tonight and sleep, safe and restful sleep, sleep, sleep.
It’s security, stupid.
Macho, macho man tra la la!

KIM KARDASHIAN & DONALD TRUMP: TAKING IT TO THE BANK
Kim Kardashian is a joke, but the joke is on us, not her.
The girl who’d rather bare her assets, paid for or not – you decide – is laughing her arse off (pun intended) all the way to the bank. And banking on us she is, we who watch her life unfold on the reality show of all reality shows, in the tabloids, on Twitter, in videos, anywhere and everywhere as she sells her product: her salacious, disreputable self.
Daughter of the Tiger Mom of all tiger moms, Kris Jenner, the women who gets a gold vault’s worth of respect for being the Queen of Self-Promotion, Kim is a chip off the elder’s less protruding block, who would sell her soul for a million bucks, laughing all the way to the bank.
So a few weeks ago, when once again she bared her body for the world to see, even though we’ve seen it all before, she mounted 192 thousand likes on her Twitter account, because one thing Kim Kardashian knows – sex sells. She’s pretty much broken the bank on it.
A brouhaha followed the posting. The more seasoned Baby Boomer women celebs, the mothers of the Sexual Revolution, posted to Twitter and elsewhere to decry Kim’s exposure. Once called “The Queen of Raunch,” (raunch isn’t sex), Bette Midler took to Twitter. “Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today,” she wrote. “If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera.”
And then generations of women picked their sides, mostly the young for Kim, the older against Kim’s latest exposure of herself, the elders speaking from experience.
Kim’s final tweet on the subject was another naked selfie, marked with the hashtag “#liberated.”
Liberated her arse! And some role model for her daughter, North West, and all the daughters of the world. Because the issue is far more than whether or not Kardashian is making a mint by selling sex — women have been doing that since time immemorial – and taking it on the you know what for doing so. Think Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, the women of Burlesque — outcasts all.
In the end Monroe committed suicide, seemingly because she knew she’d allowed herself to be exploited even when she thought she was in control. She wasn’t, and women like her never are despite what they think. In the end, every exploitation, self-imposed or otherwise, chipped away at her self-esteem.
But that was then and this is now, and now there is a difference from back then: Kim Kardashian ain’t no Marilyn Monroe, who at least tried to build herself a successful career as an actress. Kardashian makes no such attempt at legitimating, and either doesn’t understand, or chooses not to care that in the past fellow women never approved of a woman’s choosing the shame filled path to earning a buck.
Many were embarrassed by their sister’s exposures, even while men salivated at a naked pin-up girl, hiding their Playboy magazines secreted beneath their bed. Not that there was anything wrong with a man reading Playboy, but it wasn’t something you wanted your children exposed to just yet.
And sidebar, Playboy, now up for sale, no longer publishes pictures of nude women. I doubt it was a moral decision. The fact is that why pay to see a nude woman when all you have to do is go to Kardashian’s Twitter account, her free porn site on the web. Who was it who said: “Why pay for it when you can get it for free?” Answer: Mothers of a different generation. Maybe they were right. Maybe the Sexual Revolution had zero to do with laying oneself bare for all the world to see.
Which is not to say that while men enjoy naked pictures of women, they didn’t and don’t think that the very women who titillated them by exposing themselves was a women they’d take home to meet their mother. There remained the belief that despite the acknowledgment that a girlie magazine was a fun sex tool, it appeals to our base nature. And while what one does behind closed doors is one’s business, nice girls don’t strip for the cameras.
They certainly didn’t want their daughters to earn their living doing the same.
Today’s generation of mothers and fathers appear to think differently. They allow their 7 year old daughters to dress like their idol the revolting Kardashian, and seem to overlook their daughter’s sexting, reportedly also beginning as early as the tender age of 7.
Which says what? Cheapsters like Kardashian are no longer considered cheap. Rather they are symbolic of a society which appears to have decided that a girl has to do whatever she has to do to get – ahem – ahead. As Cole Porter once wrote, “Anything goes.”
I suspect there will always be the Kim Kardashians. But Kardashians and the like exist because of those who decry Kardashian’s antics yet post to the social network sites their snarky comments. They are no better than Kardashian. Because Kardashian’s brand of sleaze only exists if those who say they are appalled by Kardashian continue to watch her reality show, comment on her titillating tweets whether for them or against them, and make Kardashian the butt of their jokes – yes, pun intended – on their social media sites.
The fact is that we, and I am included for writing this piece, are the reason that Kim Kardashian exists. Kim is laughing uproariously. Never have words meant more than when Kim Kardashian thanks her fans and says: “I wouldn’t be here without you.”
Yes, Kim Kardashian is laughing uproariously — all the way to the bank — thanks to you and me. And just for the record, Donald Trump is laughing just as loudly.

Back to Shannon Bream who in response tweeted: “I did read it [Chief Justice John Roberts’ statement], and I also remember PresObama calling out SCOTUS as they sat feet away from him at the 2010 State of the Union (unable to respond/defend themselves). He so mischaracterized their recent ruling that even politifact didn’t buy it, so …”
