Catalyst of Nation Division powered by Media


I say so often that many refuse to admit that media plays a really big part in keeping this nation divided as all other factors reported on.  Media seeks division because it sells and when there are no blow-ups, media can be found to light a few fuses or their choice of those they interview. 

CNN choose Donald Rumsfeld to get his opinion about the Syrian airstrike.  Donald Rumsfield, are you kidding me?  Knowing that he would say something to get someone heated was a “no-brainer” and would continue to help sell their brand.  Major known newspaper now publishing an OPED authored by Russia President Putin as if what he has to say is in any way of the slightest importance to the American public.

And not let us forget how now the media seems to also be playing games with this administration, giving them something to complain about regardless of which decision or any decision he makes.  Case in point, the same journalist who complained that this president did not act fast enough regarding Syria is now saying he was moving too fast with this airstrike.  Case two is the same journalist who are whining about Obama’s red line now argues that any red line regarding how long to wait on diplomatic solution to Syria’s chemical weapons should not be in private but laid out in public.  I guess if it’s a private red line then they would not have something to cry about if it is crossed but a public one gives them a target to aim at.

Seriously people, when are we going to say enough and start pushing that the jobs bill to be fast-tracked instead of listening to this school-yard talk about who said what.  Journalist used to report stories by telling the public what happened and then present both sides of the argument.  Media is so divided now that only those with particular views can be seen on particular channels.  How sad is that?

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

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

Americans Standing Idle While Democracy Dies at our Feet

  Please allow me to begin with a phrase that we all have heard and many repeated over time, HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, yet utilizing another phrase many may have heard but seldom repeated In God is speaking about rebellious people. “They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear” (Ezekiel 12:2). Today we consider the influence of Donald J. Trump in reference to his ability to lead the MAGA-Republicans in a take over of the Republican Party.   Many are surprised by this and have been asking how it happened and what does it mean for the democracy of these United States, but truth be told, this evolution is not surprising and should have been expected since history does repeats itself and many of us have eyes but do not see and ears but do not hear. The dye was casted when the Whig Party, “a conservative political party that existed in the United States during the mid-19th century and joined the Democratic Party to become one of the two major parties in the United
