Well I think most folks already have a pretty good idea what's been going on around here. Do I really need to go into this?


COMMENTARY
I've never seen so many multimillionaires running for president. Whether someone is a fan or not of Jimmy Carter I think he pegged it. Neither political party is ready for sainthood. No doubt there are some honest and sincere politicians trying to do a good job. However it's becoming increasingly difficult for them with this kind of swamp going on all around them.




Jesse Ventura- "Off The Grid" on 'Ora TV' (05/16/2014)



From Jesse Ventura's Facebook Page
(08/01/2015): "Sad to hear of the passing of Roddy Piper. Back in the WWF days, he once worked 91 straight nights in a row - that's 91 different towns - without a day off. I tapped out at 63 nights in a row. Roddy was true athlete and a wonderful friend. I am glad to have known him. Without him, the WWE would not be what it is today. He will be greatly missed."
