Happy Holidays from RS/BS. The candidates are taking a break from the trail, and it’s a good time to take a breather to see what’s going on..
 
 

 If we only had an Abacus with a slide counter, we’d put the following groups in: 1) Muslim-Americans; 2) African-Americans; 3) Latino & Hispanic Americans; 4) Women; 5) Overweight Americans; 6) Disabled Americans; 7) All other minority groups in America. These are all counters in the category entitled: “I’m never voting for Donald Trump” (No wonder some sectors of the GOP are in full panic mode at the thought of a Trump Nomination!)
 
 

 
·      The Climate Summit begins next week in Paris. The United States is making a concerted effort to lead the world in talks to negotiate lower CO2 emissions for all countries. One of the best indicators moving forward is the commitment by US automakers to lower the fuel emissions for all new cars and to produce some electric cars in the US market. 50 Countries which represent 85 % of all global carbon emissions have submitted pledges to the conference. All this leads us to hope that this time, something may be achieved.

Making America Great Again....Really

The MAGA mantra is a lie…They didn’t vote to make America GREAT again but instead to blow up the system….Not all of the people who voted for the MAGA slogan still believe it will become true. There is too much solid evidence of the hollowness of the promises. Mexico is not paying for a wall, and we don’t have a better health system than the ACA that helps people with pre-existing conditions. The actual components of what it would take to make America Greater still are just not there. Making American Great again would entail working together to create a better health care system for all that would include those with pre-existing conditions. Making America Great Again would mean working on infrastructure to make America a showcase that is the envy of the world.  Making America Great would mean working to be a global leader in NATO and with our allies to not only create peaceful solutions in existing conflicts, but also to work to prevent conflicts and to bu...

Instead, we see South and Central American drug cartels plus groups of extremists fighting in the Middle East using beheadings as a frequent and popular method of murder. For those of us living in the relative shelter and peace of the Continental United States, it’s hard to fathom the black hole of hatred and darkness seen and used by these people. Why do they behead people? One clue concerning the Islamic extremists leads us to the time of Mohammed. Even in the prophet’s time, (570 AD to 632 AD), he was condemned for an act of violence which left seven-hundred Jewish men beheaded at the siege of Banu Qurayza. In certain parts of Italy and in the U.S., the Mafia and drug cartels of South America use beheadings to serve as warnings to those who would stand in their way. Sadly, we probably have not reached the end of this appall...
