Remaining cool, calm and collected is the essence of “No Drama Obama”

The entire truth behind this President was captured in the first sentence of a Glenn Thrush and Josh Gerstein article for Politico titled World events test 'No Drama Obama'.  It stated “A dizzying succession of major world events is bombarding a president who insists on controlling his own time, emotions and political message.”

This demeanor worries those who are still of the belief that you only show passion for a particular subject when you are ranting, raving and running around like a chicken with your head cut off.  These same believers can not understand how one could be so calm in the face of so much and in order to have it make sense to them and the sheep who closely follow them, they have to assume its about selfishness and lack of compassion.   What they refuse to remember or care to understand is the message that many responds to emergencies all the time tell those who are victims of those emergencies.  “Remain calm and think clearly.”


Many may not consider America a victim in all that’s going on around the world but I slightly do.  Not a victim whose helpless and deserving of a rescue but a victim because contrary to popular belief all the world’s economy is connected and what happens to one economy overseas does have an effect on ours.  This is even more prevalent when it is also the case that any decision will have short and long term consequences.  To lead one must be able to not only see the short term cause and effect but also be able to get some indication of what the long term causes and effects may be.  Which is why emergency personnel constantly warn victims to remain calm and think clearly.  We now have a president that chooses make this part of the way he governs.

For a president who knows that the way he acts may determine how the American people respond and knows that when he over-reacts, it could have a demonstrative effect on this nation, he chooses to do all of his pacing and ranting off-camera instead of on.  For those who think that this is a bad political move, then they have yet to realize that he is not all political and pragmatism to him means taking it one step at a time to make sure that all steps are covered.  After 8 years of saber-rattling and shooting first while asking questions later, is it not about time we stopped and smelled the roses?

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
