Congress shows their Hatred of Obama by throwing America under the Bus

According to the article titled “Boehner invites Netanyahu to address Congress on Iran, after Obama veto threat” by an Unknown Author for Fox News.com, “House Speaker John Boehner announced Wednesday he is inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress next month about the threat from Iran, in a sharp rebuke to President Obama. “Prime Minister Netanyahu is a great friend of our country, and this invitation carries with it our unwavering commitment to the security and well-being of his people,” Boehner said in a statement. “In this time of challenge, I am asking the prime minister to address Congress on the grave threats radical Islam and Iran pose to our security and way of life.” “Boehner told members of the GOP House Conference on Wednesday morning: “The president warned us not to move ahead with sanctions on Iran, a state sponsor of terror. His exact message to us was: 'Hold your fire.' He expects us to stand idly by and do nothing while he cuts a bad deal with Iran. Two words: 'Hell no'."  He said: "Let’s send a clear message to the White House – and the world – about our commitment to Israel and our allies.”

Boehner and Congress is playing a very dangerous game right now because of what is not in this article.  President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu have two very different ways that they see dealing with Iran.  President Obama wants to try and reason with them while keeping all options on the table while Prime Minister Netanyahu is willing only to explore the military option.  This seems like a smart strategy to them because none of those refusing to try something new will ever have to put their lives in jeopardy and appears to not mind putting the lives of other people’s children in harm’s way.  Where this game of “one-upping” the president is dangerous is once it is fully understood by the people of Iran, that America and those attempting a different track are doing nothing but pulling their chains, the hateful rhetoric by Iranian leaders will heat up and those who have pushed hatred of this country for so long will be proven right. 

We say this nation wants peace all over the globe but we make no effort in trying to get that because we are still stuck in this childhood playground game of trying to find out which kid has the biggest toys.  Mr. Boehner says that the president expects them to sit back and do nothing which may be simply because when it comes to authorization of the current conflict or passing jobs bills for America even fixing our immigration problem, that is all Congress has been doing is sitting back.  I guess it’s true, hate someone enough to win regardless of the cost.  I guess the health, wealth and the welfare of this nation is the cost of doing business in Washington.  Then again, none of those in Washington will ever have to worry about dodging one bullet if we have to fight those we refuse to talk to.

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
