Unless things change, the presidential election in 2020 needs to be a milestone in American politics by electing a president from a new political party. Playing the Democrat and Republican game is not helping the citizens of the United States, at least those in the working and middle classes. The rich are growing exceedingly rich and the poor are barely living from paycheck to paycheck. In the richest country in the world, this can't go on. The right and left need to get together instead of fighting over distractions that are threat to us by the mainstream media. MSNBC is as bad as Fox News. MSNBC has a phobia about Russia.

Since my strokes I don't write much so I decided to do my radio show again. The show is titled Tim Gatto "uncut and uncensored". It is our blog talk radio. I intend to continue to write articles but when I write on this website I feel like I'm preaching to the choir. I tried to ignore the political situation and I find that I can't in good conscience stay silent while so many criminals are driving this country into the ground. We spend more on weapons of war than we do on healthcare, education, or infrastructure. There are people drinking water that contains unsafe levels of lead not only in Flint Michigan but many other cities in this country.

People must choose between buying food and buying medicine. Every member of the Senate is a millionaire and most members of the house are millionaires. If you think they give a damn about you your sadly mistaken. People need to turn out the mainstream media and get their news from alternative sources and stop listening to corporate propaganda. I know that my house you will never see MSNBC, CNN, and especially Fox News. I get my information from Reuters; Sky news and I watch RT and YouTube. There are so many ways to get good information without turning to the corporate propagandists.

Change the way you learn about the world and that will change your mindset. The mainstream media is only a weapon of mass distraction. Americans are not as divided as a corporate media would like you to believe. There are some wonderful things right here in America such as the music we make and the books that we write. We are not "exceptional", we are like everyone else in the world, just people trying to make it they by day. Be kind to everyone because everyone is fighting "a hard battle". This is our country this is where we live and we don't change it and we don't make it more responsive to the people it is nobody's fault but ours.
