1.5M kids are homeles...OK...no they aren't but...

Try to remember, 99.5% of all stats are made up on the spot :) The rest are jaded interpretations of facts. A few days ago a study (I love that term) was done on the homeless children in America. This is because nothing and I mean nothing will tug on your heart strings like the image of a 3 yr old huddled around a 55 gallon drum for heat. However, the 1.5M number listed that startled people was increased from the HUD's official report by.....oh....just a tiny margin of...geez...1.17M. That's right, the true figure as listed by the HUD in 2007 was: 330,000 children. While still appalling it doesn't have near the impact of a headline stating 1.5M children. Remember when you read things or hear them in a passing CNN news blip, they may be trying to get you to think something :)

Look, stop checking our facts damn it!

Political Process in the US

The political process in the United States, with complete compliance of the media, uses humans/citizens like cattle. Simple creatures to be pushed to the right pen. The more I read by liberal progressive rags like The Washington Post, or CNN, the more I see how much these types of franchises really do hate Americans. They are against any form of individuality that doesn't fit a minority-style social-justice description, they clearly can't stand the Constitution of the United States, nor the Country's clear purpose. I suppose this is what America has become, as Thomas Jefferson believed, an unsustainable force. I fear that one day we will look back and wonder how something so special went so wrong. I offer it happens when social imperatives over come common sense; when votes matter more than the People and a system seems so jaded and corrupt that hope can only be found in a rich mogul who has never held office. I will attempt to keep an open mind but I simply cannot find a s...

Donald Trump will win in 2020 because America can't do better.

At some point Americans will realize that politicians race bait for a reason, in the end, they are all the same. They keep their job by having 'classes' and having those 'classes' attack each other. They always have. The hatred from Trump they espouse, isn't real. Their opinion of him, isn't real. They just want to keep their job. That is all. Why do they really hate Trump? Because he proved that someone not in their establishment could win. They hate that. It makes them mortal, and they don't want to hear that. They rely on voters not paying attention and simply following a party blindly. Whether you're a Dem or a Rep, that doesn't matter it is simply one promoted ideology over another. They don't really follow that ideology, they sell it to you "the People" (channeling inner Bane voice). And what is the worst part, Americans fall for it. They actually think they 'win'. They don't win. Nothing fundamentally changes course...

Shark rips 16-year old's arm off, he sees the glass half-full

"I can try to live my life the way I was and make an effort to do that even though I don't have an arm, or I can kind of just let this be completely debilitating and bring my life down and ruin it in a way," Treschl said. "Out of those two, there's really only one that I would choose to do and that's the first — to try to fight and live a normal life with the cards I've been dealt. This kid's statement gives me hope for the future. His parents should be awarded a medal for their ability to raise children.  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/06/17/shark-attack-victim-speaks-north-carolina-beach-oak-isle/28854419/
