House Republicans push for Eastern Missile Defense misguided

House Republicans push the need for an eastern missile defense to be built in New York and while they feel it is vital for our National Defense, the reported aim was to try and make this president seem weak on defense.  The question now is will it work.

It will work for those who support them because nothing this president will ever do will change their minds about him but it will not work for those looking to advance this nation.  These same Republicans have said before that this country could not afford to extend unemployment insurance, help those Americans struggling to make ends meet, providing funding for healthcare coverage, supporting the jobs bill or even helping student s not pay more for their loans but they now want to spent 2 to 4 billion dollars on a system that has not worked before.  Yes, President Ronald Reagan began this process of a missile defense shield and all evidence has shown that it has not worked; now we look to put good money after bad just to make this president seem weak.

They took over the House because many democrats and reasonable independents stayed home in 2010.  They promised to create jobs and demonstrate to the voters which party was more job conscientious than the other.  Not one bill has been introduced or passed concerning jobs but when it comes to doing anything that makes this administration seem weak, they have been all-out.

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
