Good Old Friends

Submitted by ub on

As my grandchildren are returning to school it reminds me of my class reunion. Many aspects were what you'd expect: reconnecting with old friends, catching up on their lives and careers, as well as food and alcohol revelry.

I decided to bring my wife, so asked her to tag along, I was braced for a nightmare of never-ending tales of yesteryear in which she'd played no part (my wife and I met in the new Millenium) and reprisals of long-ago inside jokes. However, some other classmates also brought their spouses and it was just fine.

OUT INCUMBENTS

US Congress members and state legislators have increasingly grown lazy and voters should exercise their right to vote, to get representatives working again and staying away from special interests and corruption.

Some observers may say it is probably not possible if the past record is any indication, but dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery must stop immediately.

Existing holders of political offices could be replaced during the upcoming elections where priorities are defined, established to improve structural advantages for all Americans.

Financial Forecast

The Armageddon countdown clocks were back, ticking away the second quarter in the bottom of
our TV screens as the world awaited the June 23rd Brexit vote determining if Great Britain would
leave the European Union. The referendum was considered a joke until recent polls showed it
having a chance to pass which kicked the ruling class into gear saying the Euroskeptics should not
be taken seriously. President Obama went to London to warn against Brexit saying “The UK is
going to be in the back of the queue” when the US negotiates trade deals. His comments were

#ChasingCleveland

The whole world will be watching Cleveland this week to learn how the 2016 Republican National Convention pole bearers plan to solve our growing national dilemmas, instead of continuing their divisive anti-civil rights record.

As the Republican National Convention gets underway in Cleveland this day, with political stars which may have gone too far, the school yard name calling and the mudslinging should stop to explain how TRUPENCE plans to improve the US.

HEALTH TRENDS

Submitted by ub on

According to a recently released survey from Kaiser Health, in a campaign that so far has not been about policy issues, equal shares of voters name terrorism and national security, along with a candidate’s personal characteristics like leadership ability, character, values, and experience, as top voting considerations for the 2016 presidential election, with health care ranking further down the list with a cluster of other issues.

Liberty and Justice For All

We have no political affiliation but CITY IMAGES does firmly stand against violence, rising health-care costs, falling employment rates and politically divisive rhetoric.

The USA needs leaders who will continue to embrace the ideals that established: freedom of the press, openness to newcomers, equality of opportunity, public investments in research, infrastructure, and respect for everyone. This country became great by welcoming all cultures, races, religions and nationalities.

SWIM OIL SINK

Submitted by ub on

If you decide to swim in oil, you will undoubtedly sink in oil. That is what has happened to Venezuela's economy.

Oil made Venezuela very rich, but now it’s forcing Venezuelans to become very poor. Supermarket shelves are empty; hospitals have no medicine; gangs are fighting in the streets over supplies. It's chaos and people are suffering.

Some warn that Venezuela, Argentina, and Brazil's political money strength has been using Central Banks. Big money wants to control South America, and they are not going to let that happen.

US House of Representatives Democrats took a hike down the information super highway yesterday morning and turned to internet technologies like Facebook's live-streamed video to get their message out after the in-chamber cameras were systematically shut off.

Scandal Time?

Submitted by ub on

Not really, its not a new problem. In fact, political scandals have been around for some time. This type of corruption in which politicians, civil servants, or government officials are accused and convicted of engaging in any illegal, corrupt, or unethical conduct.

How does the current crop of political candidates rate compare to the worse of the worst?
