As voters we have more power over our country than we think. We must not be influenced into thinking what our politicians want us to think.
1) We must be willing to invest in building and electing politicians that have the best interest of the middle class. We need to build and support our own PAC's. It will take investing, but we are already leveraging credit and working endless hours to survive.
He was Major league baseball's first black player, but since he was a Cuban Minnie Minoso was not considered the first African-American. I was extremely fortunate to have Saturnino Orestes Armas "Minnie" Miñoso Arrieta, a Cuban superstar and professional athlete make a special appearance at my birthday party when we lived in Cuba. Years later, I traveled to Chicago to get him to autograph a baseball. When I shared the story with friends and neighbors, they bought me this baseball card. Thanks, Bill and Elena!

Once the infamous Islamic State terrorist known as Jihadi John was unmasked as the executor Mohammed Emwazi. journalists found a photo of him from his days at the University of Westminster in London.
Unfortunately, Emwazi was wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball hat. Their official response was "It is absolutely sickening to everyone within the Pirates organization, our great fans, to see this murderer wearing a Pirates cap in this old photo."
We'll take it one step further and add that he is not even worthy of cleaning the Pittsburgh Pirates, locker-rooms.
You need salt to survive. Your body needs sodium to transmit nerve impulses, contract muscle fibers, and, along with potassium, to balance fluid levels in all your cells.
The body is so good at holding on to this vital mineral that you need to consume only a tiny amount of it each day. Too much sodium sets off a cascade of physiological changes that can raise blood pressure. Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can stress the heart and blood vessels, which can lead to stroke or heart attack.
The pressure cooker keeps boiling as that thorny issue, which has created a Republican push-back on Obama's immigration reform is still in the air and not going anywhere. But as the Congressional clock keeps ticking, we ask what is the solution? The US is now a global society.
Any effort to limit immigration with law as we did generations ago will fail because minorities are now a majority. Many try to hide their heads in the sand until years from now when they wont be around, but these folks do not realize the future is here.

Nimoy was a singer, a writer, a poet, a photographer, a film director and a great guy.

Will the Congressional funding expire for Homeland Security, or won't it? That is the question many are asking, but approval of a homeland security spending bill looked likely.
Today happens to be the last day Congress can approve this pending legislation before funding runs out at midnight tonight. Is this any way to run a country?
Conservative senators who object to the bill said they do not intend to use procedural moves to delay the Senate vote past the funding deadline. But why must it be this way?
We are not referring to bills, which live and die die on Capitol Hill. We're talking about guys named William, Will. or any other variation of Bill.
