A little something, something...

  Ancient unto time   Ancient unto time, scents of spring nights Season's blooms, overjoyed with moonlight Pollen drifting, wafting on breezes, catching air Blossoms exhalations, permeating the air sweetly Some so subtle, others overwhelmingly scented Awash on my face, …

Left, and Right, or right and wrong?

I read the main boards daily, but rarely comment. Most of what I see is based on the Left - Right dichotomy. In my opinion the American people need to be more concerned with what's right and wrong with our nation,and less by the letter after the name. A (D) or an (R) that follows …

Muted Media?

In a previous article I wrote that to take back America we need to do a bottom up approach. Starting by taking control of our city councils to county commissions, and then our state governments. Once citizens have peaceably retaken those institutions, then the people would need  …

Taxpayer Funded Campaigns?

This started as a comment I was going to leave on T1Truth's page to a series they've written; Blame Washington or the Real Root Cause? And, Newsvine Presidential Politics Voting Poll Results. It grew so large I figured I'd just post it here, Thank you T1Truth for the inspiration. …

And, Now the News

News at Eleven, Coming up the News, And, now the News, all those phrases used to mean something. Now, not so much, to steal a current phrase. Clichés and gimmicks, graphics and the teaser, that is what is called News today.
