It is galling but the current sad situation can be laid in the lap of William Jefferson Clinton who signed the Telecommunications act of 1996, and is it really a mystery why his wife was not elected in 2016, given that Bill is responsible for creating the rust belt.

I held my nose when I voted for her as I will have to again when I vote for Adam Schiff who is AIPAC and actually promoted Republican Steve Garvey to knock Katie Porter out of second place.

If AIPAC was an excuse for voting, then there would be hardly any politicians at all.

Politicians are always in need of funds and take them from wherever they can, and that is the problem with the system. I am an equal opportunity bigot. AIPAC, CAIR and Christians.
