Black people, Hispanics and police in the U.S., get along much better than cynics and pundits believe. Those radicals creating the ever increasing animosity are creating a problem to support their own cause, on both sides.  Why? So they’ll be right. A dead person may be right, but he’s still dead. There are no martyrs in this country. Those that we’ve have turned out to be just plain people. Schools blame parents for not following through, parents are too often afraid of their kids and blame gang activity. Gangs say they don't learn anything in school or they have to make money supporting their families or themselves. Police blame drugs. Who is truly to blame.  I firmly believe the problem, as I see it, is simply education. We were taught history. We were taught manners. We were taught social values. Not only in school, but at home, church, synagogue, temple or mosque. What has happened to education is a wearing of parents to be able to control and take interest in their c

The Bush administration lost 5 million emails regarding the communication between Cheney and Bush re the outing of a COVERT agent, Valerie Plame, and the plot against several US attorneys who were appointed by Clinton. FIVE MILLION lost emails, yet, NOT ONE CONGRESSIONAL OR COMMITTEE HEARING! Another million were lost dealing with 9/11. Lost, No inquiry, blamed on a computer glitch that only affected 241 certain computers. NO INQUIRIES. Explain please?

Tucson's Amazing Progressive Pundit, David Fitzsimmons, happens to be a friend of mine. I am proud of the views he publishes through his cartoons and his humorous articles that reflect the inanity of our world. A coffee meeting with David lasts a minimum of three hours. He has that much to say. And every word is new and interesting.  Today, Saturday, July 9, he presented an article that foreshadows things that might be, as it states in "A Christmas Carol." But, like Scrooge, we have it within ourselves to change it. Read for yourself. It's not too far off. AMERICA HAS BEEN DOWN THIS TERRIFYING PATH BEFORE When 96-year old Mr. Tanaka shuffled into the Pita Hut, a neighborhood cafe, it was for Turkish coffee and the company of the cafe's owner, his equally ancient friend, Ibrahim. On this day, Ibrahim brought stuffed grape leaves and tabbouleh to his friend and joined him in his booth. On the small TV, by the cash register, their new president was speaking. I

READ THIS !! Then tell me Republicans are not on a WITCH HUNT to find something against Hillary Clinton. Since 1996, they have been after her with one thing tha t fizzles out, then another. In 1996, some pundits were tossing around the idea that she had her eye on the White House. Fearful Republicans began a 20 year odyssey to discredit her one way or another., Never, NEVER before in history has any one person in this country been subjected to the scrutiny and interrogative techniques against her as has Hillary. Republicans have convinced the public (thank God, just the week-minded), that with this many charges, surely something must be wrong. NEVER found guilty, but often charged. She has actually proven herself to be capable of the job of President, as she plods on, optimistic, as a president must. On the other hand, look how Donald Trump miss-handles the press. Does anyone believe he could handle a press conference as a mature adult.  President Obama gave a heart-rendering sp

I find it difficult to talk to a Republican or any Trump supporter (I was about to write supporter using a Capital S , but they don't deserve it.) For years, these lemmings have heard every possible negative thing about the Clintons. They are con-people, they are murders, they use insider information for gain, they steak from a charitable organization that has brought relief and comfort to many thousands of people in Third World countries. I have heard how Hillary is a liar, a thief, dishonest, a plagiarizer, rude, how she beats Bill, how she doesn't cook, how she gets her all clothes for free, how she has slapped servants in the White House, and more. I have not yet heard that she drown Socks in the toilet, although some republican will probably come out withy it.  Hillary is not a Muslim sympathizer (It was G. W. B.and Cheney who were good friends with the bin Ladin family, not the Clintons. She did NOT CREATE ISIS. G. W. B. and Cheney created the instability of that reg
