Texas TV reporter learns that Obama punches back

If you only listen to reasonable people like Holly Bailey who wrote the article titled  President Obama gets snippy with a Texas TV reporter and Brad Watson, the TV reporter who is the subject of this article, you would think that Obama was caught on camera acting like a little child because he got “snippy” with Watson and seeking “more favorable” coverage has “backfired”.  Watson took on a Bill O’Rielly persona when he asked the president "Why do you think you're so unpopular in Texas?” remnant of Bill O’Rielly asking the president about people who hate him.  Appearing to look like Bill O’Rielly became even clearer when “Watson pressed Obama on NASA's decision not to locate one of the retiring Space Shuttle fleet in the state after Watson suggesting the Obama administration had sent the orbiters to states pivotal to his re-election. This insistence stayed even after President Obama insisted that "the White House has nothing to do with it."   Watson was looking to make his bones with the local Texas TV audience and maybe propelling him to higher status among those who follow him.  What he did not expect was what happened next.

"Let me finish my answers the next time we do an interview, all right?" Obama told Brad Watson, a reporter with Belo TV, which owns several Texas TV stations including Dallas’s WFAA and San Antonio's KENS.”  Mr. Watson entered this interview probably pretty confident that he was going to stand strong against this guy and show him whose boss, what he manage to show was that this guy was far from weak and he will give you all the room you need to hang yourself and when he punches back, he punches back hard.  He did not want to be disagreeable on camera and remain respectful as he made this TV reporter understand beyond any doubt that he will not be played.  Don’t get it twisted, this guy smiles a lot but if you look into his background you will see this guy is no one’s fool.

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
