When I first met my wife I told her I was 39 and once the truth was revealed she explained why I should never lie to her again. This woman was, smarter, younger and more beautiful and sexy than I could have imagined, so we became best friends an fell in love. http://cimages.me/content/yirong-and-roberto-soto-wedding-pledge

Many years later after learning more about her, meeting her family and always keeping my promise, we took a walk on the beach where I asked her to marry me. http://cimages.me/content/our-city-island-wedding

Working @Walmart

Why would Walmart hire a top DOJ official? The Justice Department’s third-ranking official, Rachel Brand has a job at Walmart adding trouble an agency with vacancies plus criticism from The White House?

Follow the signs and wonder what are they trying to prevent, or hide here? Four DOJ topper posts are vacant. Division heads at civil, criminal and national security, plus now #3 slot as leaves for Walmart? Thank you for shopping Walmart. https://youtu.be/g-XGv_BsAA0 https://youtu.be/CjSSj7-eyYk https://youtu.be/BV-F3lH3jO0

US Distress SOS

Submitted by ub on

Some are characterizing it as irresponsible, impractical, unpredictable, and reprehensible so stick em up America, you're about to be ripped off to the max.

Following a military budget the likes of which the Pentagon has never ever seen. $700 billion is a whole lot more in defense spending than China and Russia.

And after strapping US taxpayers with an outrageous tax cut for big business which so far is not trickling down, is the GOP now plotting to remove Social Security benefits?

SS IS NOT A GIFT We and our employers paid 12.4% or more of our paychecks ALL OUR WORKING LIVES.

The flu may be approaching pandemic conditions and is widespread over the whole country. This outbreak has now reached pandemic levels but it's not technically a pandemic yet. This flu epidemic is so dangerous that it has caused lives on both US coasts.

Winter Olympics

Submitted by ub on

Let the games begin. The 2018 Winter Olympics got underway in South Korea, as the action began last night with figure skating and curling, but the opening ceremonies kicked off this morning at 6A.

US Vice President Pence, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, attended. Athletes from the two Koreas march together under one flag and the cheating Russians entered #OpeningCeremony under a significant cloud related to doping concerns during the parade of nations alongside competitors from over 90 countries.

Forget @POTUS parade, his last one was not well attended, give him Kool-Aid, or a helmet and his marching orders. Reach out to The White House and share your thoughts. He works for the US. https://dearmrpresident.org/

Mussolini was a real soldier... After being ousted by the Italian Socialist Party for his support of Italian intervention, Mussolini made a radical transformation, ending his support for class conflict and joining the revolutionary nationalism transcending class lines.

TV Presidency

Friends, Romans, and countrymen, lend me your ears and believe me, that I can tell you. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.

As someone who has worked in the media for years, one is abundantly clear. TV shows are all about staging, and projecting images, except for news programs, where events are presented objectively and as they happen.

Has America elected a president who knows all about reality TV, which is not real, but about staging or impersonating reality, and then chooses to attack news by questions the facts?

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Submitted by ub on

Do you recall a story of the boy who cried wolf? What about the 71-year-old toddler who accuses adversaries of treason?

We have growing cancer when a politician tells his countrymen to set aside differences during an unusually long speech while insisting on unity, but a week later turns on those who did not applaud his empty promises by calling them un-American and maybe even “treasonous” for failing to clap.

#SuperSickMonday

With a full schedule of political and international travel for the rest of this year, Vice President Pence is going to stay away from the job and managing to avoid some of the biggest controversies of a #TrumpPence administration.

The rest of America may do the same, as they may be getting ready for Super Sick Monday. More than 15 million Americans may call in sick the day after the Super Bowl.

Last year some 16.5 million Americans called in sick because of the game, so if you’re planning to join the calling-out sick group, here are some of the best excuses.
