Today’s headlines reveal very little in major news, most of the offerings being updates on continuing stories. Found, however, was a link on Drudge to an article @NTK Network titled: “Sanders: Act in “Unprecedented” Ways, Fight Back in Every Way That You Can” 

During the question-and-answer portion of a Facebook Live event on Monday, Sanders told a person that “we’ve got to stand up and fight back. We have got to be involved in the political process in a way that we have never been before, because what is happening in Washington right now is unprecedented.”

“So you have got to, Mary, act in an unprecedented way, think big, get involved in every way that you can,” Sanders concluded. “So, Mary, stand up and fight back in every way that you can.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren “went a step further, telling Sanders she thinks Republicans won’t pay any price politically “for the harm they inflicted upon millions of people across this country. It’s cynical.”

Pondering both senators vehemence led to researching once more, the specific aims and goals of the president, whereas it’s his platform Sanders and Warren find so despicable and continue to "fight back" against.

According to Linda Qiu on Friday, July 15th, 2016 @politifact.com: “Provocative rhetoric to "make America great again" fueled Donald Trump’s ascent to the Republican nomination, a status that will be made official this week at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

“So how would Trump do that? His campaign promises are aimed at changes to immigration, trade, taxes and foreign policy.”

Much of Trump’s objective for the nation concerns renewing premises set in the American Dream, a national ethos of the United States. [T]he set of ideals (democracy, rights, liberty, opportunity and equality) in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, as well as an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.”

And then, while researching the Dreams objectives, an article was found by Davis Richardson @dailycaller.com from May 12th of this year containing a most astounding bit of history. 

“A recently unearthed essay co-written by Barack Obama in 1991 stated that the American dream is to be Donald Trump.

“Penned while the former president was a graduate student at Harvard Law — with the help of fellow classmate Robert Fisher — “Race and Rights Rhetoric” summed up the American mindset as “a continuing normative commitment to the ideals of individual freedom and mobility, values that extend far beyond the issue of race in the American mind.”

“The depth of this commitment may be summarily dismissed as the unfounded optimism of the average American—I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don’t make it, my children will.”

“The excerpt of that previously unpublished law school paper found its way inside Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, the new 1,460-page biography written by Pulitzer Prize winning historian David Garrow that focuses on Obama’s early years. 

“The paper argued that black Americans should “shift away from rights rhetoric and towards the language of opportunity.”

Sanders, however, seems to have a different mindset for American’s goals altogether, as can be seen in an excerpt from an article by Tim Marcin back on 4/21/17 @newsweek.com.

“The former candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination tweeted Thursday: "How many yachts do billionaires need? How many cars do they need? Give us a break. You can't have it all."

“A number of Twitter users were quick to point out that the Vermont senator owns three houses, which doesn't quite elevate him to billionaire status—but doesn't put him among the masses, either.” 

Local Vermont magazine, Seven Days, reported in August “the Sanders family paid about $600,000 for a lakefront home in North Hero, Vermont.” That’s in addition to two others owned as well.     

Back in 2014, OpenSecrets.org “estimated that Sanders had a net worth of $436,013. Mostly through his Senate salary and social security he makes more than $200,000 per year, which would put him in the top 4 percent of Americans."

Which brings us to Warren, and an article from investmentwatchblog.com on February 12, 2017 that says: “According to CNN, in 2015 Warren’s average net worth, including her $5 million home, retirement accounts and mutual funds, was $8.75 million. However in the lead up to the 2012 Senate race, her Personal Financial Disclosure form puts this number much higher – at $14.5 million. Tax returns show that while a professor at Harvard Warren earned a salary of $430,000 per year, and as Senator she now earns a salary of $174,000 per year. Additional income streams include royalties and an advance from various book deals.”

So, here we have the typical totally hypocritical objective of top rung Democrat politicians. They spend all of their time, campaign funds and rhetoric imploring the most hopeless in society to vote for them so they, like Obama himself, can fulfill their own dreams of becoming Donald Trump.  

One couldn’t beg, borrow, buy or steal a better endorsement than that one.

That's it for today folks.
