On These Coming Summer Olympics?

I wrote earlier about this year's coming Summer Olympics:

This Year's Coming Summer Olympics

Between their pollution and the Zika virus, I felt sure these Olympics will quite possibly be the least attended in years.

Now, on top of all those problems and controversies, it seems they aren't done there, they've had to add to it. This news broke this week, internationally:

Brazil corruption: Is the government in crisis?

It seems there's been a great deal of corruption, from the previous Presidente to the current one. And the current one was trying, this week, to give that previous one, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, cover and protection by making him a defacto member of her government so he wouldn't be prosecuted.

I tell you, I have to think the International Olympic Committee is nothing but regretting giving Brazil these Olympics.  I stand by what I said earlier, the closer we get to these Summer Olympics, the more it looks like they will be under attended and possibly greatly so.

Stay tuned.

On Big Money In Our Elections and Government

Senator Elizabeth Warren, speaking in Congress, about the obscene money in our political elections and government, buying that government.



Senator Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders are the only two, I believe, speaking up and out from Congress on this ugly, corrupt situation.

We have to overturn the Citizens United ruling and end campaign contributions. If we don't do these, nothing will change for the better, for the people. And the change must come from us.
