I originally was going to focus on the news that animals (if they could read) would take an interest in but with the slim pickings, I decided instead to focus on news for those of the Right & Left side of the political aisles with an added light commentary by me. Here are the top 3 stories that I saw from each side plus some interesting facts for everyone.
LIBERAL NEWS
(1) The Obama administration is putting new standards on trucking that will make them more fuel efficient and emit less carbon emissions by 2018. Another great idea that is based on emotions rather then logic. Will the cost of goods be prohibitive due to these new requirements? Is the technology available to achieve such goals or will it be tested it on our vulnerable public roads and highways?
(2) Rescinding the Affordable Care Act will cost $137 billion dollars over 10 years? What should be asked is whether American’s will be receiving better quality care at a better price if this act is kept in effect or rescinded?
(3) Mayor’s have actively supported the President throughout his administration? Making friends is easier when you have a whole bunch of monies you can disburse to them.
RIGHT WING NEWS
(1) Iran has increased it’s support to terrorism in 2014. Is it just me or does it seem absurd to you as well, to assume that we can negotiate with such a rogue nation until they stop this hideous activity?
(2) Nikki Haley is in the Spotlight after the South Carolina Church massacre. She would make a fine Vice President.
(3) Republican’s voice their concern about the South Carolina shooting. It’s not enough to voice concern from a distance they need to have their bodies and minds down there with practical solutions to prevent such carnage in the future.
INTERESTING FACTS
(1) It appears to be contrarian thought but a wandering mind can actually help you think. Know wonder I’m always thinking.
(2) The Kurdish Population is approximately 30 million with Western Democratic Ideals in a part of the world that needs those ideas, yet has no official state.
