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.
