The English word goodbye comes from the Old English God þē mid sīe, which means "God be with you" And so it goes...

Nearly fifty years after Hispanic Heritage Month began, US President Ronald Reagan extended Hispanic Heritage Week to a 30-day period. President Lyndon Johnson inaugurated the original week-long celebration. Are we united in America?

Our political paralysis and America’s economic challenges require a common understanding of competitiveness and the true underpinnings of prosperity. We define competitiveness as follows: A nation is competitive to the extent that firms operating there can compete successfully in domestic and international markets while also lifting the living standards of the average citizen.

This gas chamber was the largest room in Auschwitz. The space was originally used as a mortuary but was converted in 1941 into a gas chamber where Soviet POWs and Jews were killed.

Trump made a 'gas chamber' reference while criticizing the news media

WTF? Who could be insensitive and outrageous enough to make such analogy? TRUMP

The Oz Couple

Odd or Oz couple, these truly belong in the land of oz, but without the wizard part. One appears to be fishing for votes and the other for TV ratings, but will either succeed this time?

The Donald's TV chat with Dr. Oz airs Thursday, but little will be revealed about the oldest ever GOP nominee's health. Neither men are considered top experts, according to their colleagues, but that does not prevent a serious discussion of medical records from a supposed physical on TV doctor after Hillary was diagnosed with pneumonia.

FLIP FLOP DON

First says he will then say he won't, just to have the press write more about his camp pain promises that he does not keep. What doe that say about a candidate who continues to renege on all his pledges?

Will he ever pull back that curtain of secrecy and release his health records and #TRUMPTAXES? He now says he will not disclose results of a physical. Why will a fringe of voters blindly visit The Land of Oz, to follow his orange skin and fake yellow hair road?

No Way, Nojay!

The Donald's New York Campaign Co-Chairman may be re-elected to the state assembly. How could Republicans vote for a candidate who killed himself?

WHY UN?

Submitted by ub on

The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation,but with more inaction than its worth. As a replacement for the equally ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945. UN is also a prefix meaning “not,”which is freely used as a formative, giving negative or opposite force in adjectives and their derivative adverbs and nouns.

Why NOT pull the plug and prevent a slow painful death?
