Iowa Dumps the Trump

To the shock of many, supposedly the front runner in the Republican bid for US President Donald Trump came in not even a close second in Iowa primary on Monday. The gay Log Cabin Republicans supported Mr. Trump back in December, saying he was more pro gay than any of other candidates. Trump soon disabused this view with vague promises to pack the US Supreme Court with Justices who would overturn gay marriage. (At Left: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, the most coveted political address in the the US.)

To those gay people who think Trump's loss is a good thing, the winner in Iowa was Ted Cruz, one of the most rabid homophobic and religiously right wing politicians outside of Africa. He is on record promising every vile thing thinkable in restricting the rights of gay, women, and people not born in this USA. Oh, but neither was he.

Because Iowa has the first primary and the news media has (not without help from the candidates) turned the 2016 national election into a soap opera, people may think that the presidential election has been decided. Not so. Only one state has expressed its view.

Recommendation: If you have nothing else to do for the next nine month, stay tuned to the media/political, frenzy circus. But if you have a life, use your time reading good books, improving your mind and health, and serving your community in charitable and helpful activities. None of these things will come from the platter of presidential wannabes, and every minute people spend listening to them is wasted time they will never get back.
