Duels were once decided with lethal weapons. These deal with facts, and rule of law of our US Constitution.

On one side, we have esteemed educator, litigator, and legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky who serves as Dean of Berkeley Law and was the founding dean of UC Irvine School of Law, a position he’s held for the past nine years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Chemerinsky

On the opposing side, we have former US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who is a high-ranking Hispanic American in executive government and serves as Dean of Belmont University Law School in Tennessee.

Who Showed The Sheriff?

Who shoved, or showed the sheriff that it was time to move on? The title evokes icons from John Wayne to Andy Griffith to Bart from Blazing Saddles to Woody from Toy Story. https://youtu.be/OPe2hXSTTPU https://youtu.be/MnASBk2BJRo https://youtu.be/IZT7xLjxuhs https://youtu.be/wbkojrVKj-s https://youtu.be/qsYzKtnvHfs ''I Shot The Sheriff'' https://youtu.be/JpFw-tI_JpI

Dreamers' Rude Awakening

The DREAM Act is an American legislative proposal for a multi-phase process for alien minors inside the USA that would first grant conditional residency and upon meeting further qualifications, permanent residency.

Sleepless nights for dreamers may soon become a daily occurrence if the early riser inside The Whitehouse has his way as Dreamers of seeing their hopes dashed.

Trump may rescind ‘Dreamer’ immigration program as early as today http://cnb.cx/2ep4pKG

US Tax Scam

Submitted by ub on

Why is the average US household’s 2016 tax bite was $10,489, a whopping 41 percent more than just three years earlier? Americans shelled out just $7,203 for food and $1,803 for clothing on average, a total of just $9,006. Folks that translates to double digits less than taxes paid.

Are BLS figures pointing to American families increasingly being taxed, while rich people and corporations?

Far Away Folks Forgotten?

Has the world forgotten that we are all connected much closer than we realize? We hear all about #Houston, but not much about floods and landslides that have killed hundreds in #Africa #Macau and #South Asia.

Our hearts go out to all the people who are suffering everywhere on earth. Global warming is serious and we're all in this together, folks. It's one planet for all the people of the world.

The US Mexico Wall

Submitted by ub on

After promising that Mexico would pay, and when the government refused his demands for a proposed border wall, POTUS is now threatening a government shutdown over funding.

Contact your government officials and let them know how you feel about spending US tax dollars. Reach out to The White House with your ideas and demands and remind all of them who is the boss.

Get Back To Work Now

Submitted by ub on

Who ever heard of anyone buying into a plan in which the specifics have never been revealed? That is what politicians think Americans are going to do. However, according to statistics, many taxpayers are mad as hell and will not take it anymore.

Disaster relief is the priority for Congress as they return from a vacation some say they did not deserve to take. There appears to be an increasingly crowded congressional agenda which will force America's so called representatives to finally do some work, and that goes for the golf playing president as well, or else. They work for the people and not the other way around. House Republicans looking at cutting almost $1 billion from disaster accounts to help finance Trump border wall: http://apne.ws/mIcJW2P

Who's Leaking Now

Submitted by ub on

A leak involves the release of something behind-some-on-e's-back as in leaking sensitive government information. There has been plenty of speculation about the leaks coming out of The White House. The Chief of Staff was accused, then it was thought The Special Advisor, but since they are both gone, along with The Press Secretary and others... Flynn, Dubke, Shaub, Corallo, Spicer, Priebus, Scaramucci, Bannon, Gorka and the hits just keep on going as the list of departed staffers from Trump's White House keeps growing longer.

What is President Trump doing Texas in the midst of the massive storm and record breaking floods? He says to survey the response to the devastation caused by Harvey, others wonder if this is his Harvey moment for a photo-op, a term coined during the administration of Republican President Richard Nixon.
