Bernie Sanders’ heart attack may have turned 2020 into 1968. His campaign just sent out an e stating “Bernie is in good health and is in good spirits,” adding “The fact of the matter is he’s coming out of this healthier and stronger.” God, I hope so.

Our Media’s Terrible Performance

December 9, 2016 By Sherman Frederick Leave a Comment

As the 2016 presidential sails into the sunset, one fact ought to concern Americans who rely on an independent press for information – a good many reporters were not independent at all. They worked hand-in-glove with the Clinton campaign against both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Consider the emails released by Wikileaks -- emails that would have remained secret, but now … [Read more...]

Elect Bernie Sanders president for good of nation
