Blogs like #CITYIMAGES not only provide multiple viewpoints about pleasant issues and adversity but allow for public comments as long as they do not cross the line of civility.

Humans evolved to notice sounds, smells, to appreciate smiles or the body language of a potential friend or foe. We adapt to conditions and learn and to do all of the things necessary for survival. We enjoy the arts, and music because rhythm and melodies have been the methods we have communicated over long distances.

Administration Anger

Submitted by Admin on

Some so-called GOP leaders are staying away from town halls in fear of their constituents, who are angry as hell.

Republicans who rode a wave of Tea Party discontent at town halls are now skipping them to avoid giving local citizens the opportunity to strike back with the same tactics they used.

Protesters insists that it's not only about the US economy, but healthcare, and natural resources, but also about human rights.

JOURNALIST MEA CULPA

On February 17, President Trump tweeted that “the fake news media” was “not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!”

The controversy the president ignited is still raging but, the press can cite Jefferson, John Adams and Hamilton as strong supporters of the press as a check on government institutions. No doubt they didn’t think the press was an “enemy of the people.”

Yet there are aspects of the political scene today that make one hesitant to praise the press too highly.

Someone hung a banner on Lady Liberty. It said "Refugees Welcome"

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

PRESIDENTS DAY

Submitted by Admin on

On this Washington's birthday and a day to celebrate US Presidents, why are so many Americans protesting? Could it be because, in one month, Trump and his family have cost US taxpayers almost as much as the Obamas did in a year? There have to be other reasons.
