My safe space is a room full of vets.

  Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. Here what I'm looking at this week. A few days ago I took my dad to Golden Corral. Free dinner for vets. So I head over there and see all sorts of vets from Army Grunts to Navy Swabbies. Marines Leathernecks and Air Force Flyboys and girls. Its fills my heart with joy to see these folks eat at Golden Corral. They must of feel at home eating with many different people. United by the same sense of honor of serving. I felt like I was an outsider in that group because I couldn't serve. I am humbled to sit with many of those men and women.


   The same sense of brotherhood is the police who in the last few days lost 4 fellow officers in the line of duty and the one in San Antonio hit close to home because my cousin Alex and his dad Ernie are police officers and Alex is a father of one and another baby girl on the way, He faces tough challenges every day. I pray that he and his dad are always safe!

   Next Donald Trump is already drawing back some of his pledge. He says that now he won't prosecute Hillary Clinton for her many crimes. Then say that global Warming is somewhat the fault of humans. Come on Donald at least get inaugurated before breaking your campaign. He won on promising to do things differently doing the reverse of it will break the spirit of those who backed you.


    Then there this thing about Hillary Clinton wanting to contest the election votes in a few states. The academics who want Hillary to contest the voting presented findings showing that in Wisconsin, Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic-voting machines compared with counties that used optical scanners and paper ballots. Based on this statistical analysis, Clinton may have been denied as many as 30,000 votes; she lost Wisconsin by 27,000.

   Right now, According to current tallies, Trump is winning 290 Electoral College votes to Clinton’s 232, with Michigan’s 16 votes not apportioned because the race there is still too close to call. It would take overturning the results in both Wisconsin (10 Electoral College votes) and Pennsylvania (20 votes), in addition to winning Michigan’s 16, for Clinton to win the Electoral College. There is also the complicating factor of “faithless electors,” or members of the Electoral College who do not vote according to the popular vote in their states. At least six electoral voters have said they would not vote for Trump, despite the fact that he won their states.

   Yet time is running out for Hillary. The deadline in Wisconsin to file for a recount is Friday; in Pennsylvania, it’s Monday; and Michigan will be next Wednesday. The White House, focused on a smooth transfer of power, does not want Clinton to challenge the election result. All of this is based on circumstantial evidences. It’s also important to note the group has not found proof of hacking or manipulation, so their theory could be bunk.

   Finally we as a nation are celebrating Thanksgiving. We must be thankful that we live in the greatest country ever and that when trouble comes up we as a nation stand together and fight down the trouble. When you get together with family leave the politics at the door. Tell your liberal family members that it's the time to be with family and enjoy each other company. Talk about your life and your dream and goals. Politic can be hashed out some other time. Be blessed and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you all and have a Happy Thanksgiving from The Brad Essex Report.

Trump won by doing a Common Man Boogie.

 Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. Here what i'm looking at this week. It a shocker not seen since last week when the Cubs won the world series. Donald Trump is the elected president of the United States. How he won was the shocker. He won States like Pennsylvania,Ohio,Michigan. How did he do that well from my headline some of you may know the answer.


 Dusty Rhodes was a big curly haired wrestler who doesn't seem to look like one, but he had something most people don't have a power to connect with people. More like Blue collar workers. How? By telling them he understand their struggles. In his speech hard time he was calling out Ric Flair. I want you to read this speech because this is what people felt when they heard trump.


 "First of all, I would to thank the many, many fans throughout this country that wrote cards and letters to Dusty Rhodes, The American Dream, while I was down. Secondly, I want to thank Jim Crockett Promotions for waitin’ and takin’ the time ‘cause I know how important it was, Starcade ‘85 it is for the wrestling fans, it is to Jim Crockett promotions, and Dusty Rhodes The American Dream. With that wait, I got what I wanted, Ric Flair the World's Heavyweight Champion. I don’t have to say a whole lot more about the way I feel about Ric Flair; no respect, no honor. There is no honor among thieves in the first place.

 He put hard times on Dusty Rhodes and his family. You don’t know what hard times are, daddy. Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work, they got four or five kids and can’t pay their wages, can’t buy their food. Hard times are when the auto workers are out of work and they tell them to go home. And hard times are when a man has worked at a job for thirty years, thirty years, and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt and say "hey a computer took your place, daddy", that's hard times! That's hard times!"

 Trump reached out and embraced those people who are wanting a fair shake in life and America to be fixed. Hillary speeches were like a robot following instructions. She was the queen & you were her serfs! While you were struggling with bills. she and bill were eating fine dining with kings and queens. While most of Americans were eating Pork and Beans.

 Plus, as I was right to predict many women do not want a woman president, especially older women.  Trump has so many faults, but turned things around with the help of Kellyanne Conway and Omarosa women who were working to get trump the votes. Also Diamond and Silk and Scottie Hughes and Katrina Pearson were there to show the Trump softer side. While Hillary used star power which is a good thing because it showed how out of touch she was with Regular Americans. With the exception of Omarosa, who was on the Trump TV show none of the other women were the stars. They were tea party people.

 As much as I dislike Trump he made the case that he cared about the common people. Also Vets and Police. Hillary hasn't once reached out to the Police and Vets. Only Vet I saw with her was Tammie Duckworth and very few others.

The message is this, if you demonize middle Americans and go out of your way to mock them don't be shocked if someone use the same smooth talking trick Obama did on you. Trump thou should not be like Lonesome Rhodes and be two faced to the American people that backed him.

We have reach critical mass!

Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. Here is what i'm looking at this week. First we have now got a good view on what Hillary Clinton was hiding. Her girl Friday Huma Aberdin had 650,000 email from Hillary. They were under the bemusing file name of Life Insurance. All hidden in Anthony Wiener Computer. This is a felony if those emails were classified. She has for too long flaunted her abuse of the rules and now the chickens are coming home to roost. Now what the odd that Anthony will cop a plea to save his ass from prison in exchange for spilling his guts on Hillary and his wife? Also, what will be his cause of death? Then we are seeing from these actions that Donald Trump has stormed back into the race with many toss up being statistical ties or leads. If he is to win, he must take Wisconsin then he could make things tough for Hillary. Thou if Evan McMillan wins Utah then it could end up in a tie which means the house would decide the winner! 2016 yeah, this year is drunk. Finally the Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series. This is not a joke. They took the lead on a double by Ben Zobrist formally of the Kansas City Royals. That hit made him the MVP of the Series. They came back from a 3-1 deficit. The last team to do that was the Kansas City Royals of 1985. Now some people say that the royals of 85 didn't deserve that win because of Don Denkinger call even thou Jorge Orta who got on was thrown out at third. This series is a point of contention for Cardinals fans to this day. I as a Royals fan say tough luck. If your team have hit better during the Series you could of won it. Don't be cocky it has a way of biting you in the ass.
