If you have something to say to the world I want to share it with that world! In that vain I’m offering a page on my blog (for a small fee) to an individual that wants to make sure their words aren’t left behind and a way to make sure those words are actually heard.  If you are interested in this opportunity please respond to this blog with the basic content that you want your page to be about and either a one paragraph bio or resume and we will see whether their is a match. Here is your chance to let your words be heard and make the difference only you can make.

Maybe I’m getting older or wiser but at this moment of my life I would rather have someone do something good in my name then give me a present. This isn’t a rule set in stone so if someone wants to buy me a plane, Lamborghini, or even some new socks I won’t complain, yet if someone promised to do something that I love it would be just as good … (except for the plane and Lamborghini  but I don’t believe they fit in the stocking). It could be making my family dinner, going to Synagogue, or  taking time to charity work together they all would truly be presents that would outlast those socks and many other gifts.  It also would enable them to save $$’s for next years gift if they decided that volunteering isn’t their style in the future. Seriously though a gift of giving oneself can be better then any present in a box.

Today society has downplayed one of the crucial roles that keeps it together “the father“.  For although there are more woman that are forced to play that role it’s best when the true nuclear family stays as one. Men in general have different abilities then woman and as such they add that special role to a family. Even those that don’t believe this to be the case must concede that the love of two adults is better then the love of one.  In my life my father has shown me the way to be a better stronger man who isn’t afraid to set down the lines but only when truly necessary. More importantly he is shown me the importance of fun, support and love that a family needs to have not just when we are young but all through our lives. Happy Father’s Day to all the great father’s that have stood with and by their families!

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.
