Why the GOP is failing to remain Relevant


The number one reason why the GOP is failing to remain relevant is “lack of leadership”.  John Boehner, Eric Cantor and even Mitch McConnell seem to lack the ability to handle two things at once.  The GOP is vital to the health of this nation and we are in dire need of having at least two parties who may disagree how we get to a place but both agree on the need to be there.  This nation needs the yen to the yang, the left to the right.  We need two parties that are willing to sit down and discuss all points of the argument, coming up with decisions that serve this nation as a whole. 

We do not have this today and if those in the leadership positions do not get a pair and begin leading their party, this nation will suffer much more than it already has.  The party leadership could finally decide that this nation is more important than their jobs and put all those angry voices back in the can and on the shelf.  The evidence of how strong the Tea Party is supposed to be does not match with reality and adds to the confusion as to why so many GOP leaders are acting so spineless.  This may explain why Michael Steele was drummed out of leadership position in the GOP.  He still maintains his conviction of GOP dominance over Democrats but he is not afraid to give this president and his administration credit for things done right or speak the truth.  I am very sure that if allowed, he could be vital in repairing the past, present and on-going damages afflicted by the little children now running the show.

Ever wonder why those Tea Party rally crowds are never shown in full by the media.  If they would pull back the cameras, many would be surprised to the numbers.  These angry Americans are not as large as the media and their supporters make them appear.  If one would just look at the number of voters who claim Tea Party membership then compare it to the true number of “real” Republicans, you may be surprised to find that they may not even reach ten percent.  Tea Party leaders say that their contingents want to defund Obamacare and are willing to shut down the government for it but what about the contingents who may not like or care for Obamacare but do not want to shut down the government?  I would beat that the number of those who seek a shutdown is far outweighed by those who don’t.

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
