About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a weekly basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Isabella

You want to see something beautiful?
Follow this link,
and watch an 8 year old girl receive a
3D Printed Arm
that really works.
3D Printing for Body Parts is not something new.
People who have Skull Fractures or have had part of their Cranium removed for medical reasons,
have received 3D Printed replacements.
Isabella was gifted a 3-D printed arm by a man named Stephen Davies. According to Chris Loterina at Headlines & Global News,
Mr. Davies created the
that can be used to help people who are missing part of a limb.
Davies gave his creation to 8-year-old Isabella last month,
and the arm has really changed her day-to-day life.
Stephen Davies himself is a recipient of a 
3D Printed Hand 
from the company,
He was so thankful by the gesture that he wanted to
"Pay The Kindness Forward."
He became a volunteer at
e-Nable
and created the arm for Isabella.
This shows that,
great things can happen with today's technology,
when good people get to use it.
e-Nable 
is a wonderful site.
Please check it out.

This is,

Jim Hauenstein,

Start Your Own Super PAC

On every
Election Day,
you sit home,
wallowing in self pity,
saying to yourself,
"My one Vote doesn't matter!"
 Well,
of course it does,
but the only thing that can get your ass off that couch is,
to find some way that you can influence the
Election!
 So,
why not start your own
"Super PAC!"
 Yes
Boys & Girls,
anyone can start a
Super PAC,
and you can do it for
Free!
 Thanks to the
Supreme Court.
Those 
Justices
are always looking out for the little guy,
aren't they?
OK,
the first thing you need to do,
is figure out what your
Super PAC 
is all about.
Do you want to raise money for a particular
Political Party,
 a particular
Candidate,
 or raise awareness on a particular
Issue.
You need to be specific on why you're raising this money.
Being vague doesn't rally the troops.
People want to give up their hard earned dollars to
Political Parties,
 Candidates,
and
Issues
 they believe in.
You need to find people who are passionate about the same things you are!
Now,
that you have a cause,
you need to name your
Super PAC.
And don't pick a name like
Six PAC.
If you do this right,
you'll be asking
Corporations,
Unions,
Political Action Committees,
Big Business Men,
Local Business Men,
Neighbors,
Friends,
and
Family Members
to donate to your cause.
If you sound like a joke,
no one will give you their money.
They might think you are going to buy
Beer
with the money!
Now,
all you need to run your
Official Super PAC 
is a
Bank Account, 
to put all that wonderful money you collected into.
A
 Dynamic Personality,
to raise all that money you want to put into that
Bank Account.
Somebody
Trustworthy,
to serve as your official
Treasurer.
To keep track of your
Super PAC's Fundraising & Spending.
They will need to file accurate
Spending Reports
 with the
United States Government,
don't you know.
Oh,
I almost forgot.
Don't forget to fill out a
with the
Federal Election Commission.
Check box 5(f) under
"Type of Committee,"
so you can say you are a
Super PAC.
Make sure to include on your
"Statement of Organization"
your name,
address,
contact information,
and the name of your
Super PAC 
and its
Treasurer.
Write a cover letter to the
making sure you tell them that your new group will be a
Super PAC.
The
fec.gov
even supplies a sample form you can use.
Then send everything to:
Federal Election Commission
999 E. St., NW
Washington, D.C. 20463

Now,
go ahead.
Get your butt off that couch
and
"Raise Unlimited Amounts Of Money!"
Then you too can influence the next
Local,
County,
State,
or Federal Election!
Go have some fun with this!
You know I will.

A word of caution though.
Say you want to back either
Donald Stump
 or
Hillary Chimpton
in the next
Presidential Election.
You can spend all the money you have collected for that cause,
you just can't work directly with either
Candidate
 or their
Organization!
One more thing,
the money is not yours to keep,
that would be
Fraud
and you'll go to
Jail.

This is,
The Ever Fun Loving Political Activist,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“If your party serves the powerful and well-funded interests, and there's no limit to what you can spend, you have a permanent, structural advantage. We're averaging fifty-dollar checks in our campaign, and trying to ward off these seven- or eight-figure checks on the other side. That disparity is pretty striking, and so are the implications. In many ways, we're back in the Gilded Age. We have robber barons buying the government.”
- David Axelrod -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I Admit, I Got It Wrong

I must apologies to my readers
and to Yaz129 on a mistake I made in my Post,
 "To Yaz129."
In July, 2010 the Supreme Court ruled that it was
"Unconstitutional"
to limit a Person's contribution to any
"Political Party"
or
"Candidate."
They call it
"Dark Money."
- In the politics of the United States, dark money is a term for funds given to nonprofit organizations—primarily 501(c)(4) (social welfare) and 501(c)(6) (trade association) groups—that can receive unlimited donations from corporations, individuals, and unions, and spend funds to influence elections, but are not required to disclose their donors. -
I did not try to mislead anyone in my explanation of
American Politics
in my Post,
"To Yaz129."
When I wrote that story,
I thought I new the answers,
right off the top of my head,
but like everything in life,
changes happen all the time,
if you realize it or not.
I forgot my rule,
and that is:
Get as much information as you can on a subject,
before you write about it out here,
on this Blog.
Do the research first.
The Supreme Court also ruled that
"Super PACs"
could not be limited either on their contributions.
What's the difference between a
Super PAC
and a traditional
Political Action Committee?
- The most important difference between a Super PAC and traditional candidate PAC is in who can contribute, and in how much they can give. Candidates and traditional candidate committees can accept $2,500 from individuals per election. That means they can take in $5,000 a year - half in the primary, and half in the general election.
Candidates and traditional candidate committees are prohibited from accepting money from corporations, unions and associations. Federal election code prohibits those entities from contributing directly to candidates or candidate committees. Super PACs, though, have no limitations on who contributes or how much they contribute.
They can raise as much money from corporations,unions and associations as they please and spend unlimited amounts on advocating for the election or defeat of the candidates of their choice. -
 Why do they call it
"Dark Money?"
Because
Billionaires
still don't want the
American Public
know that their
Government Officials
are just
"Puppets!" 
At least I got that part right!

This is,
The Hoping For Political Reform Advocate,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"We demand that big business give the people a square deal; in return we must insist that when any one engaged in big business honestly endeavors to do right he shall himself be given a square deal."

My Point Of View Or What I View

When I was growing up,
the only people who talked to themselves,
were the people who were nuts!
Now,
everyone with a
"Blue Tooth Device"
is nuts.
Watch the Road!
I once heard a 2nd Lieutenant,
in the Marine Corp,
say to his troops,
"Do more than you have to do, more than your share, and do it as well as you can."
 Later,
I saw the same 2nd Lieutenant talking to another
Ranked Officer
 in his barracks,
telling him,
"I never promote the harder workers, or my best soldiers.
I need them to make me look good so I get promoted."
People who want money
and only money are never happy.
Because there never is enough
Money!
A person can never force a
"Change In Luck"
by just sitting there.
But they can change the
"Machine"
they are on.
Get it?
When will we ever hear,
from one of the
Avengers,
"Feel The Power Of My Heuristic Algorithmic Viral Defense!"
People who live in
Glass Houses,
can see their surroundings.
Never tell anyone what you paid for something.
Because there will always be somebody who says,
"What a great deal."
Then the next person will say,
"You've been ripped off!"
It's always funny how the
Guy
who can get you all these great deals,
never has any of those items!
Going to
Church
once a week,
doesn't mean you can be evil,
to your fellow man,
For Six Days!

This is,
The Viewing,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

That story about the 2nd Lieutenant is true!
So stop asking,

Insulting

"Anonymous,"
then she called herself
"K,"
finally coming out from hiding in the closet
and signing her Comments as
"Kathleen,"
has the audacity to call me a liar.
To my face no less!
It seems,
"Kathleen"
read my Post,
and was expecting to see the
Classic Cadillac DeVille
I had talked about,
in my driveway,
yesterday.
Now,
if she would have read the words I wrote closely,
she would have seen my statement where I said,
"That I didn't have the money at this time!"
Even though my friend bought the car on my behalf,
he would be very foolish to give me the car before I paid him one cent.
I wouldn't expect him to give me the car until I made my first payment.
What if I had the car before the
Release of Liability
was sent in
and I totaled the car.
Why would I pay him then?
Of course
I would have anyways,
because
My word is my bond in a situation like this!
I don't think less of him for holding onto the car until I can make a payment,
I think highly of him because he bought a car on my behalf
and is holding it until I can afford it.
The reason I'm writing about something so silly is because she also said,
"I must lie on a lot of my Posts."
She is basing this on her misunderstanding,
of not having all the information.
The sad part of all of this is,
she stopped Commenting on my Posts.
Everyone doesn't have to agree with me on all issues,
but don't call me a liar when you don't have all the facts on a subject.
If she knew me,
really knew me,
she would have seen by now that
"Honesty"
is one of the biggest traits I've been known for my whole life.
So,
if anyone else thinks I'm lying on any of these Posts I write,
leave a Comment,
and we'll discuss it.
Because,
not having all the facts is not the way to make a decision,
on any subject in life!

This is,
The Honest,
