Memorial Day

Since 1868, when it was proclaimed by General John Logan, Memorial Day was a holiday to remember the soldiers who died in the Civil War. The holiday was a step towards national reconciliation. Decoration Day was the original name and it was about placing flowers on the graves of the soldiers who died to make this, the greatest nation on earth. And let's not allow anyone to say anything that makes US feel any different.

Has the true meaning of this holiday gotten lost? Is it that Memorial Day has lost its significance because we have too many so-called leaders who chose not to serve?

Could the death of Gregg Allman also be called the end of pure Southern Rock? The American keyboard and lead singer for The Allman Brothers Band died at age 69. It all started in Nashville, Tennessee and when he was nine he once said he fell heads over heels with music.

Home Run or Run Home?

Submitted by ub on

President Trump is calling his first foreign tour a home run, but if you read some of the tea leaves you may see that others are characterizing it like a run home. There's also lots of explaining to do, domestically speaking.

Now that he's back from this historic overseas journey, reality says sometimes you win, but then again sometimes you lose. Just saying, Trump did not deliver on his previous promises, has not shown full support for the climate deal and also chastised NATO members.

Get plenty of rest, or eat me, our brains will warn us. Sleep deprivation can lead to higher risk of chronic health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Also, the human brain begins to eat itself when we continually loose sleep.

Russian roulette or any other lethal games of chance in which an American government leader pulls the trigger.

This practice of loading a bullet into one chamber of a revolver, spinning the cylinder, and then pulling the trigger while pointing the gun at one's own head is not only an activity that is extremely dangerous, but this nation has endured many difficulties and our patriots have sacrificed too much blood to allow any foreign power to interfere.
