Common Sense

The Two Most Inspiring Senate Candidates–Jon Ossoff And James Talarico, And Potential Presidential-Vice Presidential Ticket In 2028 Presidential Election!

Without any doubt, the two most inspiring Senate candidates in the upcoming Midterm Elections of 2026 are Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff and Texas Senate nominee James Talarico.

They are outstanding in promoting their views, which are enlightening, and knowing how to attack their opponents, Mike Collins and Ken Paxton, who are among the most outrageous, despicable, and corrupt, scandalous candidates that Republicans are offering to the nation in 2026.

These two Democrats are among the most decent public servants we have had in a long term, with Ossoff finishing his first Senate term, and Talarico finishing eight years in the Texas Senate.

They have humanity, compassion, decency, empathy, and common sense, and both are under age 40, with Ossoff age 39 and Talarico age 37, so a new generation of competent leaders for the long term.

Both are favored to win, and it would be a tragedy if either lost to their opponent.

And looking to the future, while neither is talking about the Presidency, they should not be dismissed as a potential team of Jon Ossoff for President and James Talarico for Vice President in 2028.

One might say they are too young, as they would be 41 and 39 respectively in 2028.

But remember Ossoff has been in the Senate for six years, and would be two more years in the Senate by 2028. And Talarico had eight years in the Texas State Senate, and would have two Senate years by 2028.

The naysayers would say NOT enough experience, but consider the following:

Richard Nixon had only six years in Congress, and was 39 when elected Vice President in 1952.

Dan Quayle was only 41 when he was elected Vice President in 1988.

JD Vance had only two years in the Senate when elected Vice President under Donald Trump in 2024, and was only 40 years old.

And William Jennings Bryan was only 36 when he ran for President in 1896.

And John C. Breckinridge was only 36 when elected Vice President in 1856.

So the idea that Talarico could not serve as Vice President at age 39 has no justification.

And Ossoff would simply be the youngest President at 41, while Theodore Roosevelt was 42 and John F. Kennedy was 43.

So the thought of a potential ticket of Ossoff and Talarico is certainly not something to be dismissed.

Time For “Hard Ball” On Vaccinations And Masks In The Midst Of A Threat To Human Health And Safety!

With the fall term of school beginning, and with many Republican state governors being willing to sacrifice children’s lives on their mantle of “libertarianism”, it is time for the federal government to play “hard ball” on the issue of vaccinations and masks!

The threat to human life and safety is alarming, and it is going to cause a new wave of massive death, as school boards defy dictatorial state governors who are only interested in scoring points on the US Government’s responsibility to insure that America can overcome this COVID-19 Pandemic!

This crazy concept of “freedom” to do whatever the hell you want, and no concern for anyone else, is the downfall of civilization, as we clearly have demagogues exploiting insecurities and stupidity of many Americans!

Any parent against masks is being an abusive parent, who refuses to believe science, when students must be given vaccinations for measles, mumps, rubella and small pox in order to attend public schools!

Already, many naysayers have gotten sick and died, and said before they passed away, that they wish they had used their common sense, rather than believe right wing talk hosts, and corrupt preachers, and Facebook!

The Insanity Of The South And Western Rural States Defying Common Sense And Science On Vaccines!

It is mind boggling that the rural states of the South and West are defying common sense and science on the subject of vaccines and the COVID 19 Pandemic!

These states are Republican states and very ‘Religious” states, at least in theory, but their population wallows in ignorance and hatred of science, education, facts, and truth!

The 13 lowest states in vaccinations are from Number 51 (including DC) down to 39 the following:

Alabama
Mississippi
Arkansas
Wyoming
Louisiana
Idaho
Georgia
Tennessee
West Virginia
Oklahoma
North Dakota
South Carolina
Missouri

Only 33 to 40 percent of the population in these states are fully vaccinated, as the Delta Variant is spreading like wildfire, endangering not only those states, but people all over the nation.

Only 20 states and DC have 50 percent or more of its population fully vaccinated, and they coincide with Democratic or “Blue” states, making this pandemic political, as if the rural South and West are striking out against modernity, urbanization, science, facts, and truth!

This “head in the sands” mentality is undermining the long term future and health of America!
