Minimum Wage Woes
American workers who are earning minimum wage or below are increasingly finding themselves wondering how low can their standard of living go?
PUTIN POTUS
Since President Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and put in place crippling economic sanctions on Tehran, his goal is to force Iran to give up its nuclear and missile program, although Persia has not stated it wants nuclear weapons, unlike Saudi Arabia.
Most recently, POTUS last-minute decision to cancel the ordered military strike on Iran has exposed a deep-running rift inside the GOP and some want to wait and see if it was Putin who pulled the plug and told Trump to let it be.

Remember the song Bomb Iran? https://youtu.be/_iKuMVqht4U Why have Iran and other nations begun pushing back POTUS pressure points? Trump has withdrawn from multiple multilateral deals and put in place crippling economic sanctions.
In Iran's case, the goal is to give up its nuclear and missile program although Iran has never stated it wants nuclear weapons like Saudi Arabia.
This brings the USA clearly into the territory, where we may have never been, is the president bent on destroying #American democracy?

Outstanding Fathers Day

The weekend began on Friday when my two year old Godson, Matty and his parents Dena and Victor brought me a mango delicacy prepared for UB. Sunday was a very special Father's Day. So special that it may be one to always remember fondly and for a few reasons.
My wife Yirong and I were prepared to spend a quiet day at home since we have been traveling recently, it was a welcome opportunity to not only relax but to save some bucks since my daughters live on the west coast and I am in NYC and those airfares quickly add up.

The following fathers Day feature story was not easy to pass up and points out that International and cultural family norms are surely changing all over the world.
No one could ever have imagined, especially Josue, a Hispanic Puerto Rican that his actions would eventually make him once, twice, three times a daddy of several generations of children on the same year.
Writing the Wrongs
Please allow me to take the lead and let's outline a few wrongs and try to get them right so we can begin to straighten #US out.
