Ron Paul’s late entry into the Republican Presidential Race

I have been following Ron Paul for quite some time now and much of what he says I can agree with.  I do not agree with how he wants to get there but I can clearly understand why he wants to go.  Imagine my confusion when I heard that he had launched an exploratory committee again.  After watching Donald Trump play the media for every dime that he could get, I then began to question the motives of Ron Paul.

He captured a lot of young votes and I am sure made quite a bit of money for his war chest but hearing his take on topics beginning to sound like those of Donald Trump and Pat Buchanan, I began to get a little frightened that he had drank some of the strange tea brew.  I began to think that he had made so much money running, but never winning that he had begun to believe that he found a gold mine.  I think that now he has shared that with his son who is now looking to take over the family business some day.

The Bible says, “judge not and ye shall not be judged” but when it comes to those who really have no business even thinking about being president of anything, I think this is one sin that I will have to own and wear with pride.  If those same people who rail against extending unemployment benefits and health insurance for all, while strongly defending keeping the Bush tax cuts fir the rich, how can them even fathom being a president for all people.  They seem to support turning Medicaid into a voucher program while dismantling Medicare as we know it and still have the audacity to say that they know what the American people want.  How can you side with 23% of the public and call yourself standing and fighting for the majority, unless my calculations are off 77% is far greater than 23, but then I could be wrong.

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

The Sum Total of all our Experiences and our Reactions to Them By Dr. Ronnie Manns, NP, Psy,D., FAIHCP

  At the Start In the second term of conception, when the fetus begins to form, so does parts of the brain.   The parts of the brain that begin to form contain only one cognitive component which is called the Mix-Match Negative (MMN).   This portion has two major functions, the first is to instruct that body when it is time to form the different parts of the fetus body and organs, the second, and one which will present more influence than any other aspect of our existence is designed to record every event that happens to us and our reactions to them. All the information created and recorded by the MMN is sent to the temporal lobe to be housed and disseminated when necessary.   These recordings begin to establish your normal, the safe harbor you will run to every time something like a past event or even similar to it happens because it is the only defense you have and the safest place to be. How this works is based on the example of being born.   For nine (9) months we are safe,
