2016 Republican Contenders Silent On Planned Parenthood Shooting
I can’t see how any Republican presidential candidate could honestly respond without sounding like a heartless person or a hypocrite. These candidates all support not only the second amendment, but they support the spirit of the second amendment such as it was written back in the 1700’s. This latest mass murder/domestic terrorist took the Planned […]
World Leaders Build Momentum For Paris Climate Talks
Climate change is real and it is effecting us now globally, climate change itself is contributing to the refugee problem and it can be argued that climate change is a contributary factor in terrorist origination so having the climate talks in Paris is a home run for humanity all around. France is not allowing fear […]
How 2 Independent Journalists And A Lawyer Held Chicago Police Accountable For Teen’s Death
These two journalists are doing exactly what their profession demands, why did the founding fathers put the fourth estate into the constitution, it was precisely to investigate and shed light on this type of aberrant, egregious, and criminal police behavior along with the coverup that followed, which became just as criminal and insidious as the […]
Obama Tells Americans Not To Panic About Terrorism Heading Into Holidays
I don’t understand the level of fear that is out there. Yes we were attacked on 9/11/2001, but since then, we have been very fortunate thanks to the diligence of various government agencies and our local police departments. I think part of my confusion lies with the lack of movement regarding mass shootings, basically the […]
Big Insurance’s Health Care Scam for the Holidays
Shouldn’t profit and health care insurance be counter-intuitive in a sense? We speak about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and yet we are supposedly okay with putting a price tag on health care concerns. We have allowed health care insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies the license to put profit in front of humanity […]
Congress Needs Its Bacon Back
How to get congress back to its function, writing and passing legislation that serves everyone? This article is interesting in its analysis of congress’ inner dynamics both past and present, what hit me while reading the article was I was lamenting the death of pork just last week, if only as a tool to push […]
The Congressional Art Of Negotiating Without Any Leverage
How can we decide anything even remotely smart in terms of ISIS and defeating them when our congress cannot even govern their own body politic? How many are in the Freedom Caucus anyway? More to the point, who are these people exactly, the ones who elected those in the Freedom Caucus? The small percentage of […]
Friday Talking Points — A Knee-Jerk Week
I worry for the elections next year, if the people don’t get their fears under control, we may have a President Trump installed in the White House. I’ll never forget a scene from the movie Dune, “fear is the mindkiller” truer words aren’t often spoken. How many democrats lost their reason this past week for […]
States of Fear
I am embarrassed by the House democrats who voted with the Republican scaremongers, I am embarrassed by my Governor, Charles Baker, who stood by his party and voted for fear, racism and unChristian values. These refugees are fleeing from the very enemy, the world is banding together against to vanquish and eradicate, we need to […]

It’s #TimeToChoose Climate-Friendly Food
As the Climate Change talks in Paris shift and develop over different topics, each meal served at these talks should be reflective of the theme inherent in these talks; sustainability, economical in terms of energy and resource usage and de-industrialization. I believe that we have been fed a bunch of lies regarding what laissez faire […]
