My Bio is as varied as my life. In 2012, my twin sons murdered a Journalist in Pensacola, Fl., for 100K worth of "Magic The Gathering" playing cards and buried the body in my backyard. I was once a regular writer here, but PTSD from my son's actions took their toll. First, I lost everything I had. Second, I lost my fiancee. Third, I almost lost my life. Recovery has been a hard and lonesome road, and it isn't quite over yet. I will overcome this disaster as I have others, and return to college to resume my quest to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism.
Admittedly, I have chosen to get back in the mix and do my duty to help destroy any chance that Trump may have of being elected to a second term.

The real outrage is that we recently found out through alternative news sources that Congress can legally engage in Insider Trading, a felony if you or I do it, and even so on Wall Street when they have to present the public with an "example" to demonstrate that our In-Justice Department is protecting the 99% rather than looking the other way when it comes to the real criminals -- those whom actually profited from and caused

In my opinion, the 1% has declared war on the 99% - and it seems they believe that they can continue to rape and pillage the 99% to enrich themselves and the rest of us be damned,knowing that the GOP has their back and will not allow any Tax Hikes or closing loopholes for the wealthy and corporations; these are privileged people and they will do anything to ensure that their position in society remain the same - Master & Serf

The GOP and Tea Party have taken the stand that no matter what harm befalls this nation, they will not advance any legislation that makes President Obama or the Democrats "look Good" even if it destroys the rest of our economy. Is that politics, or is it blackmail and extortion, or to a lesser degree, dereliction of duty to their oaths of office - which should be cause for their removal from Congress?

Main Street America is finally waking-up. It's been a while since a lot of us could find the justification for being a "Proud American" as we watched fascism and authoritarian rule creeping into every segment of our society while the majority of the people seemed to be in a deep slumber, apparently oblivious to what was happening to their beloved America.

Numerous Fox affiliates and an ABC affiliate are broadcasting a vicious 25-minute infomercial that accuses President Barack Obama of harboring "hostility" towards America and ties him to malicious rhetoric. This is the most outrageous set of lies and innuendo that I have ever read. When they attempt to paint Obama as a Hamas sympathizer I believe it borders on sedition.

The Obama Administration sent a message to every voter in the United States this week which clearly states that it's useless to go to the polls and that our votes are meaningless especially those of California voters, one of our nation's largest Democratic States. It appears that America is dealing with another "Imperialistic Presidency" that each and every day is closely resembling that of the Bush Administration;

Based on historic information, Iceland's Katla Volcano could erupt at any time. It has a history of erupting within six months after an Eyjafjallajökull eruption or as long as one year.
Unfortunately, as dangerous as this volcano is and its history of erupting within months of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano is disturbing knowing that the Katla Volcano is 10 times more powerful than Eyjafjallajökull.

By now you're probably asking yourselves why I intertwined the failure of our school systems and drug abuse in the same article. Bear with me and I will illustrate why I believe both issues are intrinsically related, if not directly or indirectly caused by many of the same social issues and problems that affect almost the whole of the United States.

Is Fascism Winning Over Democracy? For all practical purposes, the Mainstream News Media in the United is misleading the public and acting as a government propaganda tool. Vital polls and assessments of the true impact of the Ruling Class War on America is non-existent, and I'm concerned that we are losing the class war - and losing it badly.

Timothy Geithner, while on a two-day visit to India, pledged that our government would "not (to) harm India's IT outsourcing sector as it battles to create jobs at home in the worst labour market since the Great Depression of the 1930s." He went on to state that "protectionist measures to prevent jobs from migrating outside the country would do more harm to the US than good." (SIC)

For the second time in four years, Google has demonstrated that they lead the world in corporate ethics and utilize a business model based on "Don't be Evil." I would imagine that many of us are hoping that the ethics Google subscribes to in running their own Corp. will help to set the standard for other company's who lack the courage and integrity that Google has demonstrated - even when it could hurt their profits.

There is a growing discontent with the government by the average American, and a whopping Eighty-Six Percent (86%) believe that our government is broken. To add to the public's belief that our government is broken and in dire need of immediate repair, we learn that: A majority of Americans believe that the federal government is "an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens," a new poll suggests.

The tension between China and the U.S. has been escalating for years; the reasons are complicated and fraught with several underlying issues that neither party will publicly admit, and as usual, our Mainstream News Media is keeping its citizens in the dark. Some of the tension is a grave matter of national security, and one issue was substantiated/discovered by Shawn Carpenter, a courageous employee of Sandia National Labs

All of us need to remember Senate Bill S-1959 and House Bill 1955. The "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″ was one of the most egregious assaults on the freedom and liberty of Americans that had ever been presented to Congress. (Notwithstanding the Patriot (Sic) Act.) It took hard work, and as people began to grasp the impact of this bill we can now state that overall, it was a success!

The situation in Iran is deteriorating and the winds of war are beginning to blow... Iran seems to believe they can play nuclear brinkmanship somewhat like North Korea, however, they didn't have an Israel to contend with, and the Israeli's are bound and determined not to be the victims of another holocaust.
