"I want you to always hold your head up and follow your dreams wherever they take you. Don't you ever listen to the people out to hurt you or make you cry.

*“For The Time Of Necessary Decision”* “The mind of time is hard to read.

Often we only know it’s time to change When a force has built inside the heart That leaves us uneasy as we are.

We drift through this gray, increasing nowhere Until we stand before a threshold we know We have to cross to come alive once more. May we... more »
“The Nature of Courage”
*“The Nature of Courage”* by ClassicLit “Tolkien had experienced war and violence first hand in World War I. Like many of the writers from his era, his world could never be the same, after seeing his best friends die, and his land in ruin. Shippey writes, “The life experiences of many men and women in the twentieth century have left them with an unshakable conviction of something wrong, something irreducibly evil in the nature of humanity, but without any very satisfactory explanation for it.” Defeat seems inevitable. The forces of evil are strong. And, the quest isn’t really a qu... more »

*"Good Comebacks To Use When Asked * *Stupid Questions As An Introvert"* by Learning-Mind "When you are an introvert, you can often find yourself being asked some pretty stupid questions. The problem is that when you’re on the spot, it can be hard to think of good comebacks.

More Seniors Rejecting Pharmaceutical Drugs for Medical Cannabis
It’s becoming well known that older Americans are the country’s fastest-growing population of new cannabis users for medicinal purposes. More and more seniors are seeking refuge from polypharmacy, which is a culmination of five to maybe 25 costly pharmaceutical drugs being taken daily that actually diminish their quality of life. Fortunately, there are legitimate cannabis studies supporting seniors’ need for replacing toxic pharmaceutical drugs with medical cannabis, making it easier for baby boomers who never inhaled to switch from polypharmacy to cannabis.

(Government) Spending is Theft
[image: undefined] Imagine being robbed every time you receive a paycheck, but once a year getting some of the stolen money back because the thieves took more than they intended. Would you be happy about it? If you are like most Americans the answer is yes, since most people are grateful when they get a partial “refund” of the taxes the government withheld from their paychecks. A tax refund means more taxes were taken out of your paycheck than you legally owed — in other words, thanks to withholding you gave the government a no-interest loan. Withholding, which was supposed to be a... more »
The Prosecution Of Julian Assange Is Infinitely Bigger Than Assange
[image: undefined] Julian Assange’s mother reported yesterday that the WikiLeaks founder has not been permitted any visitors during his detention in Belmarsh Prison, including from doctors and his lawyers. Doctors who visited Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy have attested that he urgently needs medical care. Belmarsh is a maximum security prison sometimes referred to as “the UK’s Guantanamo Bay“.

Robert Mueller Did Not Merely Reject the Trump/Russia Conspiracy Theories. He Obliterated Them.

It was obliterated: in an undeniable and definitive manner. The key fact is this: Mueller – contrary to weeks of false media claims – did not merely issue a narrow, cramped, legalistic finding that there ... more »
Mueller Exonerates Trump, But 'Russiagate' Will Not Die

The Triumph of Evil
[image: undefined] Today (April 17) I heard a NPR “news” report that described the democratically elected president of Venezuela as “the Venezuelan dictator Maduro.” By repeating over and over that a democratically elected president is a dictator, the presstitutes create that image of Maduro in the minds of vast numbers of peoples who know nothing about Venezuela and had never heard of Maduro until he is dropped on them as “dictator.” Nicolas Maduro Moros was elected president of Venezuela in 2013 and again in 2018.

Imperial Presidency Wins Again: Trump's Veto Continues Yemen War

The Railroad That Awaits Julian Assange
[image: undefined] The Justice Department said Thursday that it was charging Julian Assange with one felony count of conspiring to hack into a computer. In the greater scheme of things, that’s a nonsensical charge. There are probably 10,000 fat, lonely guys, living in their parents’ basements who the government could charge with that crime on any given day. Assange’s attorneys in the UK say the extradition process might last five years because it will likely end up in the European Court of Justice.

Co-Conspirator: Ecuador Paid Off To Deliver Assange
The timing was hardly "coincidental." Not long after a trip by Vice President Pence to "convince" Ecuador to hand over Julian Assange, a $4.2 billion IMF loan appears on the scene.

Julian Assange: Political Prisoner

Julian Assange is every bit as much a political prisoner as was Cardinal Mindszenty in Hungary or Nelson Mandela in South Africa.

How You Can Be Certain That The US Charge Against Assange Is Fraudulent
[image: undefined] Julian Assange sits in a jail cell today after being betrayed by the Ecuadorian government and his home country of Australia. A British judge named Michael Snow has found the WikiLeaks founder guilty of violating bail conditions, inserting himself into the annals of history by labeling Assange “a narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interest.” So that tells you how much of a fair and impartial legal proceeding we can expect to see from the British judicial process on this matter. But the real reason that Assange has been surrendered by the Ecuadorian ... more »
Who Is Killing Whom in the Middle East? Blaming Iran Might be an Excuse for War
[image: undefined] Newsweek is reporting a story regarding how Iran “was responsible for the deaths of at least 608 American troops in Iraq between 2003 and 2011.” The account is sourced to a newly revised estimate prepared by analysts at the Pentagon that was discussed by Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook at a State Department press briefing on April 2nd. According to Hook, Tehran is now being blamed for 17 per cent of all US military deaths because it supplied weapons to the several Shiite militias that were opposing the US invasion, occupation and subsequent presence in ... more »

"Ominous Tendings in the Nervous Here and Now"
*"Ominous Tendings in the Nervous Here and Now"* by James Howard Kunstler "Unfortunately for the nation, the RussiaGate fiasco is only half over. There is just too much documented official turpitude on the public record for the authorities to answer for and the institutional damage runs too deep. Act One, the Mueller investigation, was a 22-month circle-jerk of prosecutorial misconduct and media malfeasance. Act Two will be the circular firing squad of former officials assassinating each other’s character to desperately avoid prosecution. In the meantime, there is the nation’s busi... more »

After the Mueller Report, Higher Ed Must Lead
Now that the Mueller report is out, we can rest assured. Betsy DeVos is just window dressing. The fish really does stink from the top. That DeVos glow is nothing compared to the boss who smells worse than she does. Trump and his administration really is as chaotic, dysfunctional, and as truth-challenged as we imagined. But Mueller’s report should have a better title.

'I’m Fed Up with Donald Trump'
Three competing views, below, of the Mueller Report, released Thursday last. To which one do you subscribe: 1.

Impeachment-- The Politics
Yesterday, Charles Blow, noting that obstruction of justice is a crime, asked-- rhetorically-- if Trump should be impeached. Everyone of the left agrees that the Mueller report is "a damning document" that details "Russian efforts to attack our election to help the Trump campaign and the Trump campaign’s eager acceptance of that help, it paints a picture of Donald Trump as an unethical man with no regard for the rule of law. In this report, we see a president who doesn’t deserve to be president. We see attempts over and over to obstruct justice, which in some cases succeed." Blow ... more »

Maybe combining red wine and tea doesn’t kill tumors after all
According to the internet, Bear Grylls, the TV survivalist, said he “was always brought up to have a cup of tea at halfway up a rock face.” Which sounds too cute to be true and, given Grylls’ history of, um, buffing the hard edges of reality, almost certainly isn’t. But Grylls appears to be far … Continue reading Maybe combining red wine and tea doesn’t kill tumors after all

Interview with Author Tess Burnside
*1**5)* *Tess, I’ve noticed you write a lot of mixed genre novels. Why is that and why not one genre or the other?* I like writing complex situations, and dropping my protagonists in those situations. I write myself into a corner with them, then work my way out. Their feelings are real, everything they are going through is real. Mixed genre is complex, just like life. Of all my works, *The Rift* was the only one that did not have romance genre. The primary event that kicked off the story was a breakup. *14)* *I’ve also noticed that, unlike many authors today, you write standalone... more »
