Slow Down DOJ

Submitted by Admin on

The US Department of Justice has ordered a review of federal agreements with law enforcement agencies that reflect President Trump’s emphasis on law and order and the fears are that it could lead to a retreat on consent decrees with troubled police departments nationwide.

A consent decree is an agreement or settlement that resolves a dispute between two parties without admission of guilt in a criminal case or liability in a civil case.

Walk Around

Did you know that every year on the first Wednesday in April is National Walking Day?

This day is set aside by the American Heart Association to encourage us all to get out on their own two feet and walk for their health.

Health benefits of brisk walking include reduced body fat, lower blood pressure and it facilitates lower mortality rates from cardiovascular disease. Just make sure you pick up the pace.

Also, if you take a walk, but make sure you put it back.

Judge Gorsuch is one step closer to The US Supreme Court. high court. Senators took one step closer to end the judicial filibuster.

GOP leaders vow that Mr. Gorsuch will be confirmed "one way or another," therefore we're witnessing a process in the US Senate that is not noble. It is politics at its most raw, the kind that equally confounds and repulses those with weak stomachs or little experience with governance.

The great majority of hawks are more useful to human beings than they are harmful to us.

However, there is still widespread prejudice against hawks. Occasionally they destroy poultry and smaller birds, but they eat small mammals, reptiles, and insects.

Hawks have many foraging techniques, but the most typical in their pursuit of prey is raking, or swiftly following the animal’s efforts to escape.

Once the hawk has secured the prey with its powerful talons, the bird dismembers it with its sharply pointed, strong beak.

President Obama initially chose Judge Merrick Garland to fill his seat, but a Republican-led Senate insisted that the next president should get to pick Scalia's replacement.

President Trump has nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch and the Senate now has to approve Gorsuch for the vacancy.

BS Artists

Submitted by Admin on

Have you noticed that our planet is overflowing with BS artists? I've been wondering how every aspect of our lives seems contaminated by BS and realized the problem lies within us.

Why are some many folks easily led to empty voids, or too lazy to engage critical thinking when it's most needed? We're up to our collective waists in manure, and it is our own fault. We need to stop attracting more BS with each passing day.

CITY IMAGES is celebrating five years of successful publishing. I' like to say thanks to my daughter Sabrina for suggesting the name and to my friend and colleague CD Jaco for recommending it in the first place. According to Google analytics, this daily blog has grown from dozens of readers to thousands of regular visitors.

Please allow me to outline my distinguished career. I started working for free as a CEO, a communicator encouraging others while serving as a student intern for The Washington Post.
