Islamist militants miss the clear warning of Bin Laden’s death

Sometimes when a brick falls on your head, you still do not get a clue that the building you are standing near may be falling down.  Only after getting trapped or killed does it become clear that there were plenty of warnings none of which you heeded.  Same can be said about the death of Osama bin Laden to terrorist or militants who seek to control by fear instead of lead by majority.

Reuters produced and article titled Islamist militant leads prayers for bin Laden in Pakistan in which they reported that “the founder of one of Pakistan's most violent Islamist militant groups has told Muslims to be heartened by the death of Osama bin Laden, as his "martyrdom" would not go in vain, a spokesman for the group said on Tuesday.”  Pakistan seems to be the place all terrorist leaders go to escape justice and live in the lap of luxury while those they entice to join them live in mud huts.  If the death of bin Laden taught them anything it should have been that this president does not mind enraging Pakistani leaders to deliver swift and final justice to those who threaten, harm, injury or kill our citizens, our friends, allies or way of life.  They should know by now that if he says it, he will do it and keeping his word to the American people is all that truly means anything to him.

The pirates who were holding the captain hostage was warned to let him go or face the consequences, they ignored the warning and thought that what they had heard about this president was true.  They had heard that this guy was too weak and was more a man of inaction than action.  They were so very wrong.  Osama bin Laden must have thought the same and past events have shown just how wrong he was.  Now comes this Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let), and its leaders Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, who believes that he will be able to pick up where bin Laden left off.  The building in beginning to crumble and the bricks are beginning to fall.  Terrorist best bet is to renounce and repent from their murderous ways, join a political party to effect the change they wish and take their chances with democracy.  They have a better chance of long-term survival by becoming political than staying radical.

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

When the Republican Party Stopped Being the Party of Lincoln

  You hear many claim the Republican party as the Party of Lincoln when they make attempts to reform the current Republican Party into a party of human rights, decency, and a true governing body but these attempts soon fall face first at the feet of those who prefer to bully people instead of listening to them.   Those using this method often gets extremely frustrated because they thought this fact would snap them out of this MAGA funk and back to a party one could be truly proud of again. The frustration mounts because perhaps they said it to the wrong wayward Republicans or in the wrong group of the GOP because they truly believe that if anyone looked at the stance that Lincoln took, they would change directions and honor his name and memory.   The truth is, the Republican Party stopped being the party of Lincoln when those of political strength and influence created a plan to install their own guy into the seat of the presidency during Lincoln’s second term.   History tells us t
