Maybe I missed something. I was pretty sure that, in the 80s, after all of that Reagan-Gorbachev thing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Clinton-Yeltsin friendship and all that, we declared the Cold War over. I would swear that I heard all that somewhere.
Guess not, because, as I write this, our new Congress, which I would think has better things to do, is wasting a whole lot of time, holding hearings about the Russian hacking of... well, I'm not sure what.
Our President and a few others, say that those pesky Russian dudes interfered with our elections to stop Hillary Clinton. If so, they wasted a lot of time and money. Clinton was such a bad candidate that a rabid, alcoholic were wolf could have beaten her.
Still, what did they hack? The Clinton emails? Seemingly not, since no one is claiming that. The DNC emails. Well, John Podesta used the word 'password' as his password, so I would think that you could not really call that hacking. Also, who hacked the DNC accounts does not matter as much as the reprehensible contents of those emails.
No one in their right mind is claiming that Russia hacked the actual voting machines. Now, that would be an inexcusable attack, but, again, that is not being claimed. It is interesting to note that where recounts have been done, Trump's margin of victory increased.
So, basically, we are expected to believe that Russia and that dastardly Putin did something, somewhere that wasn't very nice to the Democratic Party and now our soon to depart leader, Obama, and his whiny collection of sniveling celebrities and quasi-socialist political flunkies are hysterical because they will no longer get their way. Traditional Americans, the folks who built this Country into the most extraordinary civilization the World has ever seen, have stood up and ordered these little brats back to their rooms so the adults can clean up the mess that has been made ( credit Greg Gutfeld of Fox News' the Five for that analogy).
Did Russia poke around in our business and access some poorly protected emails? I'm sure they did, just as I am sure that we do the same. If governments are not doing this to protect their people, they are grossly incompetent and should be ousted.
Everybody just chill our. Nothing of importance was changed by Russia nosing around. The bizarrely left wing Democrats lost. Trump won. And, thank God, if we ever stop all of this nonsensical whining and childish bickering, we can get on with returning this Nation to its once prosperous status.

America - Have We All Gone Mad?
Today was going to be Part 2 of The Donald Chronicles, but that will wait until next week because right now, I think we are losing our collective minds.
Where should I begin? Okay, let's start with the behavior of our current President. I have seen Presidents come and go, and while, at times, it was clear that they disliked each other, they put on a good face and tried to make the transition smooth. I have never seen a President try so blatantly and ruthlessly to undermine his successor. Obama is ranting about Russian influence on the election. In trying to cast doubt on the legitimately of Trump's victory, he is attempting to stop the Nation from coming together around the new guy.
You have Electors seriously talking about refusing to vote for the person their state's voters chose. You have politicians egging them on, encouraging this outrageous behavior. You have Electors, with no security clearance, demanding security briefings before they vote. At the same time, you have the security agencies refusing to brief Congress until the President gives his approval.
I just saw an ad, a long, expensive ad, put together by various celebrities urging Electors to refuse to vote for the choice of their state's people. Who in the Hell gives a rat's skinny, little ass what a bunch of spoiled, overpaid, half assed singers and actors have to say about the running of the country. Tell the all to go have another margarita, shut up, and go find a real job.
As far as Russia and hacking goes, let's grow up and face the real world. First, no matter who is ultimately behind the leaks, they still display a candidate and a party and a State department that danced dangerously close to felonious illegalities. At the very least, it shows how insanely incompetent they were. Second, we have no moral high ground to stand on. I have pointed out in previous posts that we, the USA, have intervened, often violently, in the internal politics of many nations. Just recently, Obama threatened England with serious economic difficulties before the Brexit vote.
Dose Russia hack US communications? No doubt. And guess what? We hack theirs. This is the way of politics and things have been that way since long before the Nation was founded. It is idiotic, wasteful and dangerous and it is not going to stop any time soon. Does Putin know about this? He would be a damn poor leader if he didn't. Did Putin influence the election? He did not have to because the Democrats ran the worst, most incompetent candidate they could. Clinton beat Clinton.
Now, we have Obama issuing grave threats to Russia. Funny, he did the same thing to Assad in Syria and they just took Aleppo and are about to finish off the Syrian rebels. The destruction of a once great city and the horrific slaughter of its people is a nightmare. What happened to that stern Presidential warning? And why, in the name of anything sane, is he trying to pick a major fight with Russia?
What we are seeing, quite likely, is a showdown, a big time showdown, between two factions for the soul of America. The old time, left wing, Eastern Establishment, that has had its way for many years, has been almost swept aside by the anti-globalist, pro-America faction. Both groups are fantastically wealthy and frighteningly powerful and both are deeply, deeply flawed but, when it comes down to choosing sides, I'll stay with the pro-American traditionalists every time. This used to be a damn good Country and, maybe, just maybe, we can be that way again.
