Hillary did not listen

Hillary did not listen, and her advisers had no clue.

My suggestions to Hillary were precise; her advisers did not understand the unfathomable loyalty Trump had earned from the disaffected Americans, and how to reach out to them and embrace.   I wrote the following two articles, the first one was written on 08/03/2016 11:18 pm ET and the second on was written two days before the election day emphasizing what Hillary needed to do

Our founding fathers have laid a strong foundation of the checks and balances to ensure America remains a great nation, and thank God for the solid, stable government it has provided for the last 240 years and it will continue to be one. Individuals come and go, but the systems will sustain.  I trust our system, and no matter who the president is, America will remain America.

We have more work on our hands to build a cohesive America, and I am committed to assertively seek to build such a nation where no American has to live in apprehension or fear of the other. Join me in rebuilding America at

Excerpts from both the articles are appended below with the links to the articles

Understanding Trump, the Pied Piper – on August 3, 2016


Why do people fall for Trump?  If you look at the history of any minority, be it Black, Irish, Italians, Jews or Catholics in the recent past, and Muslims, Hindus, LGBT, Hispanics and other minorities now,  you see a common quest for recognition.


The LGBT, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and members of other minorities love it when a Congressman, Senator or an actor speaks up kindly about them.   They love the leader and become his or her defenders and promoters.  Most leaders are genuine with a few exceptions.  John McCain was authentic when he corrected the woman, “No, Madam. Obama is good family man….” And so was General Powell, who said, “So what if he is a Muslim?” These are unforgettable moments that Muslims Cherish, likewise there are moments like this for every community.

Hillary needs to pay attention to this. 

 Those Americans, who have seen good times in the sixties through the 90’s with hiccups in the Mid-eighties, faced hard times after the economic collapse in 2006 brought in by Bush-Cheney’s reckless regime.  

The Job losses, business closures, massive budget deficits, unprecedented home foreclosures, divorces and deeply disturbed family lives made it difficult for Middle America. No one talked about them; they were simply not a part of the conversation.

I hope Hillary Clinton hears me out; I am not a Democrat but a Patriotic American who wants the good for my country. 

It is time for Hillary to emphatically include the disenfranchised ones, as an American Muslim, who is deeply committed to build a cohesive America that is good for all Americans; I offer the following pluralistic solution.
“Hillary, please care for my fellow Americans who are hurt, they are White Americans who are ignored. They are honest hard working people who have seen good times, and now when the immigrants are prospering it is painful for them to see their quality of life decline. You have to pay attention and fix this fix.  I know you are for all Americans, but it is time to reach out and embrace them, have a specific economic plan for them.  If you don’t do it, the Pied Piper will bring a disaster to them and that will hurt every one of us.

My prosperity hinges on the prosperity of others around me, and my safety depend on how safe people are around me. It behooves me, you, and all of us to ensure that we ride the train together, and make sure no one is left behind.




Hillary’s last ditch effort - the final speech


“My priority is to reach out to my fellow Americans who had it good until the disaster from wars brought misery to them; the white Americans. We are going to find ways and means for them to recover from the difficult times they have endured while others Americans have prospered. “

The author of the following speech believes that Hillary Clinton needs to deliver this message in one fashion or the other on Monday, November 7, 2016.

Rick Perry embraces Muslims, a gutsy political first

Rick Perry embraces Muslims, a gutsy political first http://centerforamericanpolitics.blogspot.com/

Abstracts from my upcoming article, pending publication


Addison, Texas – June 4, 2015 – It takes guts, a lot of guts for a Presidential candidate to embrace Muslims from the word go!  Perry has got that. Given the unabashed bigotry displayed by a number of Presidential candidates against Muslims, Rick Perry took the bold step in paving the way for inclusionary politics in the GOP.  This is a historic event in the annals of America’s evolution of pluralistic politics. Perry may turn the tide and knock out bigotry in other candidates minds, even if it is in their hearts. 

I hope to interview all the presidential candidates to see how pluralistic they are, and how much they really understand about the need to have a strongly woven social fabric for a safe, secure and prosperous America. We cannot have a candidate who is prejudiced towards fellow Americans.

What a joy it was to see two Muslims with Perry on the first 
day of announcement - Amir and Arman Rupani
A few minutes with Sean Hannity
After the event




Among the array of 2016 candidates, four will pass the initial test; Hilary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Rick Perry. 


I don’t know how many of the Presidential candidates we have to be forgiven for ‘they know not’ about fellow Americans.  In the 2012 run, the following candidates displayed their shameless bigotry towards Muslims and some of them have said they will not hire a Muslim in their administration, and they are;  Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Michelle Bachman. Carson, Huckabee, Santorum and Jindal will not even make it through the primaries, they are too biased to lead an America of different faiths, races and ethnicity - there is enough material to nail them, they may be good for a Hospital, Arkansas, Pennsylvania and Louisiana respectively, but not for America

Sean Hannity was at the announcement for an exclusive interview with candidate Perry, and prior to that he asked me, if I was supporting Perry, I said, not yet, not until I talk to him about what kind of America he envisions, is he committed to a cohesive America?  Sean asked me what I mean by it.   I said it is an America where every American is given equal access to employment, entrepreneurship, and governance in his or her pursuit of happiness, and where no American has to live in apprehension or fear of the other.

2016 Presidential Elections Master page

Ideal Democratic Candidates:
Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden
.....
Ideal Republican Candidates:
Chris Christie and Jeb Bush  

.....
Ideal nominees:
Hilary Clinton and Chris Christie,
.....
Ideal Winner:
Hilary Clinton.
.....
She will be the first woman president of America, completing the cycle of what America is all about, an America for every American. Ultimately, we set the standards for the world, where every human, regardless of religion, race, gender, ethnicity, minority or majority can aspire and accomplilsh the dream of serving his or her nation.

That is if Hilary runs.

Our Founding Fathers laid the ground work for such a society, “ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Martin Luther King Jr. expressed that in his speech, “ I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Chief Seattle, a Native American said this perfectly, “All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the webs, he does it to himself."


My own belief is in a Cohesive America, where no American has to live in apprehension, discomfort or fear of the other. We are a free people and our governance is aobut safeguarding that freedom. If we can learn to respect the otherness of other, and accept the God given uniqueness of each one of us, then conflicts fade and solutions emerge.
Republican Party has to do a whole lot of searching in their hearts, if they truly believe in the inclusive Jesus, as they claim, they need to match their act with their talk. Jesus is one of my mentor pluralists. At this time, I am working on getting my book out, and by the end of January, I will have custom designed a course to develop inclusive attitudes among fellow Republicans.  

The stability of our government is due to the built in checks and balances, and it is in the interest of Americans that we strengthen the two parties. Its been a long time that Republican Party has won popular vote and it is time to change that dynamics. 

It will be hard to beat Hilary Clinton, but if we become inclusive in our approach, shed the bias towards "the other" Americans, we have got a good shot.

As a party we need to ask the right-wingers of our party to take the vacation for a year and come back after elections - The following guys and girls need to mind their own business; Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Guilliani, Tim Pawlenty, Paul Ryan, ... they are a liability to the party. Keep Karl Rove Madoff out from sucking up the funds.

Will be adding the future articles on the topic in this master link, on this blog www.TheGhouseDiary.com, at the top band, you will find a link to my writings on Republican Party and President Obama, of whom I have been critical as well as appreciative of his service to the nation. My fellow Republicans may not agree, but he will go down in the history as one of the top ten best presidents of the United States of America.

This was the 2012 Results:
Obama   62,085,892 - 50.6% - 332 Electoral
Romney  58,777,012 - 47.9% - 206 Electoral

Senate - Democrats 55/ Republicans 45
House - Democrats 197/ Republicans 234
