The initial reason for starting this blog was that my local newspaper the Curry Coastal Pilot did not publish my Letters to the Editor and I was frustrated that my alternate viewpoint of events was not being heard. So I set up this blog and all of a sudden my letters began to appear, so I wrote about other subjects here…

But my last two missives to the editorial section of the paper have been ignored by the editor of the newspaper, so now I am going to use this website for its original purpose (at least in this post). These two letters are related to the 2016 Presidential election and are pro-Hillary and anti-Trump.

If by some happenstance between now and the November election, my letters do grace the pages of the “Pilot” I will apologize to the editor here or just remove this post. Anyway, here are the two letters:

Letter one written 8/24/16

Letter two written 9/14/16

Riddle Me This

Riddle me this… Who Am I?

I have been sued 3,500 times and I do not pay my bills. I have declared bankruptcy five times and have many failed businesses.

I make fun of the disabled, women and immigrants.

I hire illegals for construction work and foreign workers in Florida and say it is because Americans can’t do the job.

I am endorsed by the KKK and white supremacists and love ignorant people, but can’t stand babies.

I love dictators like Putin, Kim Jong-un and Saddam Hussein. I do interviews on Russian TV disparaging America.

I say that our military is terrible and our Generals are rubble.

I make the ties I sell in China and the suits I sell in Mexico. I owe millions to Chinese and German Banks and to Russian Oligarchs.

I will not release my tax returns because I have something to hide.

I have been fined $250,000 for illegal campaign contributions. I am currently charged with fraud and violating the RICO Act in an ongoing court case. I have practiced housing discrimination.

I think Saudi Arabia should have nuclear bombs and we should go to war, if someone makes a hand gesture at one of our Navy’s boats. Tweet me wrong and I will go crazy.

Who am I? This limerick gives the answer:

The Candidate known as Trump
Comes riding on an elephant’s rump,
          But the way that he acts
          Using lies as facts,
Makes him more like an elephant’s dump.

Are these powerful letters to dangerous for the local newspaper’s readers? Wiould they be changed forever if they learned that there are supporters of Hillary Clinton in Curry County? Enough stroking of my ego…As ever I appreciate your reading what I have to say, comments are always welcome…
