The North Korean evil regime has been a menace on the world station for too long, supplying mass destruction weapons to evil regimes, killing it own people by the millions, and continuing to threaten it’s neighbors/world  with nuclear annihilation  It’s time they are overthrown. China is the key to this revolution for they know where all the weapon systems are kept as well as the weaknesses in this regime. Therefore a secret deal should be made where the U.S and it’s allies would support an invasion by China and allow them to annex land as an incentive. The U.S. and it’s allies could support this invasion as well and claim additional lands for South Korea, if such an agreement in advance can be made.  This way the Korean Peninsula can be free of this evil regime, those pursuing underground nuclear programs will be deterred (Iran) and the world as a whole will be much more peaceful.

Even when a government is most popular there is a strong sometimes silent opposition that opposes their actions.  These governments may say they act in the people’s behalf but it is not all the people. Therefore it’s important that those who oppose government actions make their voices clear and as loud as possible because sometimes a pin drop can be heard in a crowded room.  The people of Iran are such a people and until the people of the world give them the ability to speak without being imprisoned or killed by “their government” the voices of love/peace will be shut out by voices of hate and war of these evil regime.

Saudi Arabia may have just created a Martyr that will cause more problems for their regime then just allowing him to speak freely. Nimr Al Nimr appears to be a Shiite Cleric that wanted Saudi Arabia to have greater Democratic Reform and was executed for that reason. I’m sure there is more to the story (or hope there is) but right now that is the narrative and the Kingdom better get ahead of the news cycle before it causes a greater revolt. The fear is that the Kingdom would squash any attempts for serious democratic regime with violence which would help spark extreme Islamic groups (ISIS, Al Qaeda)  to recruit others to join in more violence against the Saudi Arabian regime and the world.

 John Hinkley, David Berkowitz and other killers could have been stopped in the tracks if “SAFEALIFE” existed.  “SAFEALIFE” would be a local government/ clergy based organization that would reach out to those individuals who could become your next lone wolf before such an attack occurred.  Individuals from the clergy  (training in mental health) and  an armed social worker would visit individuals that through posts, local reports, and research appear to be those who might act out in a violent way to themselves or society as a whole. They would come with information and even a little present to enter these individuals residence to determine whether additional mental health treatment might be necessary or just a hand of hope and love.  The government would fund this group but not directly be involved in the daily operations unless it is warranted due to an impending threat.  SAFEALIFE would not only protect the local community but save a life of those in desperation and despair. 

Donald Trump took a swipe at the Manchester Union and it’s Publisher Joseph Mcquaid after he compared Trump to the fictional character “Biff Tannen” from the Back to The Future series which raises an interesting point. Is it best to ignore your critics or attack them back?  In the case of this election it appears that the attack mode is certainly working?  I on the other hand have normal ignored my critics and even have challenged their assertion without insulting the character of the one who is criticizing.  Yet maybe I should once in awhile take a card from the Trump playback because it appears that he keeps on drawing a full house with this approach. The Union Leader was very brash in their criticism of the Donald so maybe they deserved a slap back as well but wouldn’t it have been a bit refreshing if there was a bit more then just the slap but context as well. I guess in the end it would be beneficial if I had a bit more Trump in me but maybe it would be helpful to Trump if he had a bit of Bud Rebel in him as well.

Those that were willing to give their life for our country shouldn’t be left in the dark upon their return.  Instead they should have apartment housing units across the country geared to them.  These units would be available only to veterans and their immediate families and the costs to live in such facilities would be on a sliding scale based on their income.  Their would be niche stores (geared to their needs), service centers (job placement) and health facilities located within the buildings so that our heroes could easily get the supplies they need with the respect they deserve.  This is one expense we owe our veterans and I as one taxpayer would be happy to contribute to such an essential endeavor.

After watching the Presidential debate last night and sleeping on it I want to give you my good morning impression (below) before any political procrastinator puts things in our minds.

KASICH HANDS– I can’t wipe these images out of my mind it’s haunting me wherever I go. I understand using body language but I can’t listen to him without my hands moving all around now.

BUSH NO HANDS– He might have many of the same positions of Mr. Kasich but is the polar opposite when it comes to hand movement. A bit over rehearsed that fell apart in his concluding statement.

CARLY FIORINA’s FEMINIST REMARK- Woman don’t just talk but act. Her powerful red dress and her knowledge of the facts were impressive as well but she kept interrupting …again.

GANG UP ON RUBIO- Rubio took hits from all different sides from Paul as well as Cruz as incoming missiles landed but never had a big impact. Foreshadowing Cruz and Rubio will continue to battle each other on immigration and security throughout this political season and it will get nastier not nicer. 

CRUZ / TRUMP BOND- Donald Trump wouldn’t take the bait and attack Ted Cruz a matter of fact he was quite the politician last night as caution was in his wind.

CHRISTIE OUTSIDER IN – Chris Christie tried to suggest he was outside the squabbling but inside the government to get things done and kept bringing up 911. I was also impressed that he ignored Paul’s rude comment on bridge gate.  Strong  orator but maybe too little to late

BEN CARSON NICE-  He’s a nice, smart, good person but I think he’s lacking the enthusiasm factor and is starting to fade. 

PAUL’S SMALL BUT VOCAL SUPPORTERS-  You could tell his support was small because the crowd had to scream instead of clap when they supported his views. He came across petty and nasty though.

Don’t worry my dog isn’t trying to become a member he’s too smart for that.  Yet as I picked up my growling, snapping dog to take him for his walk (which he didn’t want to go for initially) I realized how ISIS acts like my dog.  At first the snapping and growling dog would actually create fear from these acts but when I proved I was the Alpha Dog, by not giving into his whim he slowly backed down. ISIS is small weak and puny compared to the military might of the United States and it’s allies around the world in this fight.  If we would stop worrying about being politically correct we could annihilate this evil in no time.  My little dog did go for a walk and actually enjoyed it (his tail was up) and the people of the Middle East will be grateful as well when we (G-D willing ) have the determination to defeat ISIS even if they have no tails to wave.

Dog reference is not meant to be offensive and if you are offended you don’t realize how much I love my dogs.

If only you could say the truth “This is …. (fill in your four letter word)” because not only can’t you fit in their shoes but you’re wearing Sneakers instead.  Empathy sucks but at the same time it’s what we all crave. How many relationships would have been saved if someone had just said “That’s terrible”?  Would many acts of violence be knocked down if people just took the time to listen to the words and understand where they were coming from (even in the North Pole)  instead of waiting for the punches?  That sales pitch would have worked, if only you empathized with the needs of the person you were trying to sell. Empathy is one of the most difficult traits to gain for it takes us off our own goals/time and makes us wait for the other yet when true can be the most comfortable sneaker to wear for the short and long term.
