Julian Castro throws his hat into the ring for 2020

Former U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary and far-left Julián Castro formally announced his presidential campaign on Saturday at an event in Texas.

He stated, “You see, I learned from my mother so many years ago in this community that when we want change, we don’t wait for change. We work for it. When my grandmother got here almost 100 years ago, I am sure she never could have imagined that just two generations later, one of her grandsons would be serving as a member of the United States Congress and the other would be standing here with you today to say these words — I am a candidate for President of the United States of America.”

Those who approve of his 90 percent! tax recommendation said, "Whoo hoo," and other intelligent responses to the announcement. Seriously, he wants ninety percent of every dollar you make. That should get him the votes of people who don't work for a living.

Castro, 44, also served as the mayor of San Antonio, Texas from 2009 until he joined Obama’s cabinet in 2014. 

He was also famously considered a frontrunner to be former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s running mate in 2016, but she ultimately went with Senator Tim Kaine because Castro was even lefter than she was then.

Castro is the identical twin brother of Joaquín Castro, who currently represents Texas’s 20th congressional district, but sometimes pretends to be Julián. Based on both of their political ideologies, it is possible they are also related to Fidel Raul Castro, but without the blatant murdering of citizens.

Castro will fight for the Democratic nomination against a garbage scow of other Democrats, including Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard who announced her formal bid on Friday.

So far, the biggest name to throw her hat in the ring is Elizabeth "Echoes of Beer Thunder" Warren. She made the announcement slightly over a week ago that she had launched an exploratory committee.

Other leftists have also announced but I will not bother you with that nonsense.

It's a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.

Benghazi Hill: not a sideshow, a freak show

If you had the opportunity to be tapped on the shoulder by Hillary Clinton to be her running mate (assuming that you're a Democrat who believes the Clintons are a hard working, misunderstood, caring, brilliant, patriotic and honest family, LOL) you would probably do all that you could to defend her against those nasty people from the media (assuming the media were all composed of vast right wing conspiracy nut jobs who hate women, love guns more than their own children, and want to go to war at the drop of a hat, LOL).

Julian Castro, the secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development might be the guy with that shoulder. And since he may be our next Veep (gahfahbid), he is defending Benghazi Hill with all the defense he can muster.

Castro  is calling the Benghazi-related emails a "witch hunt" and a "sideshow." In fact, he is probably right about the "witch" part when it comes to Benghazi Hill, but it's anything but a "sideshow."

In an interview with CNN (Certainly Not News), Castro said "This thing has been studied to death by Republicans and Democrats." 

This was not an Onion statement--he actually said that Democrats have "studied to death" the Benghazi facts along with Republicans. Democrats, particularly Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) were in a psychotic state of denial when it came to Benghazi. If they were studying anything, it was not about the facts and lies about what elicited the attack in the first place. Rather than studying the facts, Cummings attacked the GOP side of the investigation.

Castro went on to say that "Secretary Clinton was not in any way at fault," but how could he actually know this when she used a private email server and subsequently destroyed the evidence? That doesn't sound like a witch hunt and it doesn't smell like roses.

Benghazi Hill says that she wants to release the emails (as if she needs to somehow go to great lengths to do so) but it's too late. The emails that are being produced have already been scrubbed clean or redacted, and the missing emails she claims were personal (Chelsea's wedding and yoga moves) are the ones that most likely are relevant to Benghazi and her failure as Secretary of State in providing protection to the embassy there.

What mother deletes emails from her daughter's wedding but saves all her work-related emails when she no longer holds that job?

Only 296 emails have been released by the State Department. These have been reviewed by Clinton's lawyers and deemed "ready for prime time." It has been discovered from Hillary's hacked email server that Sidney Blumenthal (a person who the Obama administration said must not be involved with her job as Secretary of State) provided her with input about Benghazi.

It is also believed that Russia and China have probably hacked into the email server.

But Castro calls the Benghazi investigation a sideshow. This makes him a perfect running mate in Hillary's circus.
