Who pays for the GOP treachery and hypocrisy?


It is one thing to crow about our “founding fathers” and how they sacrificed to fight for the freedoms that we enjoy while doing all that you can to completely undermine those very freedoms.  You may be believed that you have the best interest of this nation at heart and win on that rhetoric but actions prove more and more your true intentions.

Case in point is this article by Joe Wolverton, II for The New American titled Wisconsin GOP Accused of Electoral Manipulation .  In it he reports about “a cadre of Republican insiders have devised a plan to place the names of fake Democratic candidates on the ballots in two upcoming special elections.”   He samples a report by the Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Journal-Sentinel Online (JSO) and details about “The elections involved in the alleged scheme are part of nine state Senate seats where incumbents could soon face recall elections as a result of their actions in the recent budget battle with Governor Scott Walker.” 

Was this the meaning of the cry for taking their country back, doing whatever it took to regain that which they felt they had lost when Obama was elected president?  Going as far as to demean the legacy of not only those American fighting men and women who fought and died for the freedom of a free and fair election but for those who are still suffering from injuries received on the battlefield as well as those currently serving.  You would think that a party who claims to defend the rights of all it’s people would know that actions like these goes way beyond the grain of the freedoms so many of my fellow servicemembers sacrificed for.

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
