In Portland, Oregon, city commissioner Chloe Eudaly is fining federal troops $500 for every 15 minutes they refuse to remove a section of fence that surrounds a specific area around the federal courthouse. Doesn’t matter that the fence protects the federal courthouse from being demolished by protesters, all that matters to the Portland Commissioner is that it blocks a bike lane. Portland’s City Council stated “We are fining the federal government $500 every 15 minutes until it removes a reinforced fence in front of the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse.” Commissioner Eudaly was quoted saying “We are assessing the maximum fine of $500 for every 15 minutes the fence obstructs our street, and we are investigating other legal remedies available to us.”  “The structure completely obstructs the bike lane and needs to be removed promptly," wrote PBOT director Chris Warner. "Failure to remove will constitute a Class I violation of City Code and Transportation Administrative Rules d

The “Me Too” movement has lost its way. The “Me Too” movement that once protected victims of assault has sadly become nothing more than a modern day witch-hunt. One cannot even hug, pat an individual on the back, or ask someone out on a date, without fearing that they themselves may be accused of sexual misconduct. Which seems to be an ongoing theme in society today. The U.S. being the primary country where this has become a common everyday occurrence.  Heaven help anyone who is accused of such behavior. These now blacklisted individuals sued for their entire life-savings in a one-sided court case. Their lives forever ruined. Finding themselves suddenly unemployed, their families torn apart, and facing possible incarceration. All because an attention starved individual wants their 15 minutes of fame. It’s completely heartbreaking!  In a few cases, no real proof ever being presented to the judge or jury. And in other cases, judges are presented with undeniable proof of innocence, but th

The evil eye protection charm is a blue talisman that is round in shape, typically made of glass. The talisman contains an outer dark blue circle, an inner white circle, followed by an innermost light blue circle with a black dot (as in the eye’s pupil) painted on it. It is a protection charm that an individual wears, or carries, to protect themselves from any and all unwanted danger and/or evil spirits. Legend says the evil eye protective charm calls upon an otherworldly presence that reflects any malicious and vengeful glares/curses from a spiteful individual. The spiteful person believing that an innocent person (the victim of the curse) somehow wronged them, and so wishes harm towards that innocent individual.  The evil eye talisman (or charm) was created to protect someone from this evil eye curse. Even though these protective charms are also referred to as "evil eyes", their purpose is to protect the bearer, not harm. Another popular talisman is the Hamsa (also depictin

America is the land of opportunity, the most free country on earth. A place where everyone has the opportunity to better themselves and accomplish their dreams, no matter where they come from. A country so free that any individual, no matter their ethnicity, can be anything. A country where any ethnicity can become doctors, lawyers, police officers, judges, and congress/senate officials. There are individuals of every single ethnicity who are singers, musicians, and movie stars, living in million dollar homes.  The simple fact is, whether we succeed or fail in life all depends on the choices that we make. No one in this world owes you anything. If you want a better life, then make it happen. I’ve known several people over the years that overcame every obstacle in their path, including growing up dirt poor, to achieve their dreams. Anything is possible if you work hard and never settle for less than what you deserve. Morgan Simianer, American cheerleader and tv personality, is proof of

Approximately 1 in 8 women, in the course of their lifetime, will develop invasive breast cancer. In 2020, doctors have estimated 276,480 new cases of diagnosed invasive breast cancer in women, in the United States alone. Approximately 2,620 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2020. That doesn’t even include the 48,530 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer, something that affects both men and women. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 883. About 42,170 women in the U.S. are expected to die from breast cancer this year.  Around the summer of 2018, I went for my very first mammogram, where they discovered two lumps in my breasts. One in my right and one in my left. Knowing that cancer runs in my family, I was obviously terrified. Both my mother and my aunt died from cancer. Both of them wasting away before their loved ones' eyes.  I was told by my doctor that she found two medium sized cysts. I was then told about th

The soul is described as the cosmic liquid of life that fills the vessel (body) and gives us life. Souls, ghosts, and spirits, are basically, all the same thing. Though, I’m sure someone somewhere may disagree with that. Webster’s dictionary defines souls as “the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.” Spirit is defined as “the nonphysical part of a person that is the seat of emotions and character; the soul.” Ghosts are defined as “an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living,” typically as a translucent image. But the words (souls, spirits, and ghosts) are often interchangeable in everyday conversation. Whatever you choose to call them, they are often reported as a transparent apparition, and in some cases as solid as any living person. Often the spirit is wearing clothing from the time and place when they were alive. Different types of spirits also include spirit guides, poltergeists, Will of the W

There are many different types of abuse, including physical, emotional (or mental), and verbal. Then there are those who seek their power, or enjoyment, from controlling and/or manipulating a person. Control and manipulation are also forms of abuse. And just like emotional and verbal abuse, being controlled or manipulated by another person leaves deep emotional scarring that never fully heals. None of these are acceptable behavior towards another living soul.  Controlling, abusive, and manipulative individuals never seem to question themselves or their actions. These abusers never bother to take the time to stop and wonder if they themselves are the problem. Instead, they simply choose to believe the fault lies with someone else. Always placing the blame on anyone and anything, never accepting any responsibility for their actions. They use their friends and family members for their own personal gain, and in return they needlessly complain that no one has ever done anything for them. Th

What happens when two souls are reincarnated into a single solitary body? First, it is imperative to understand the concept of souls. The definition of a soul is the spiritual part of a human being regarded as immortal. The soul is what gives the body life. The soul is the cosmic liquid that fills the empty vessel that is our body. Without one, we wouldn’t be alive. Second, it is important to understand what reincarnation is and how it works. Reincarnation is the belief that our souls are reborn over and over again until we finish our unfinished business here on earth. Whether that business is fixing a past mistake or learning a valuable lesson. There can be many reasons for a soul to be reincarnated. There have been several television series and movies that demonstrate this idea as a real possibility. Two such movies include the films  My Soul To Take  and  The Ward . Both movies represent the idea that the body can house multiple souls simultaneously, often without the individual’s a

I’m honestly confused by how some people think. I specifically mean Radical Leftists. Radical Leftists, by definition, being those who believe anarchy is justifiable. Those who believe in socialism, communism, and marxism.  Many democrats, including Radical Leftists, believe in providing for undocumented and illegal immigrants. They place the importance of those that are here illegally over the importance of our own legal U.S. citizens. I cannot even begin to understand the thought process behind this. We cannot take care of our own U.S. citizens, like the homeless, repairing the broken education system, or overhauling the broken mental health system, but the Radical Left is all for financially supporting illegals’ housing and college educations. By them doing this, it means they’re placing the health and well being of illegal immigrants over the health and well being of our own U.S. citizens, which includes legal immigrants that worked hard to attain legal citizenship. All the while,

For as long as humans have been on this Earth, there have been tales of mer creatures. Fantastical beings living right along side of us, hidden in the depths of the sea, lakes and other bodies of water. From the Syrian goddess Atargatis to Ea, the Babylonian god of the sea. Of course Atargatis, goddess of the moon and water, being the very oldest of mermaid legends. While Ea was later adopted by the ancient Greeks and Romans to become Poseidon and Neptune. Both deities being approximately 4000 years    old. Then you have Naiades, also known as water nymphs. The most famous nymph, of course, being Calypso from Homer’s The Odyssey.  The most recent siting of these majestic and fantastical creatures was in 2012. Construction crews in Zimbabwe, while building dams, refused to complete their work. They claimed that local mermaids, known as mamba muntu, were violently harassing them. Fearing for their lives, the construction workers abandoned their work, vowing never to return to the job sit

While the crime rates soars higher by the day in New York City, police officials are now burdened with the responsibility of guarding a BLM street painting. Mayor De Blasio has ordered an around the clock protection watch of the mural. Twenty-seven police officers, including one sergeant per shift, to guard the mural. That’s nine total police officials 3x per day. Apparently this now takes priority above all else. That’s nine police officers, at any given time, not protecting New York City and it’s people. Nine less police officers keeping residents safe, stopping drug dealers, arresting  murderers, and patrolling the streets. I think it’s safe to say that NYC’s mayor does not have his residents’ best interest at  heart. Nor, would it seem, does he have his priorities in proper order. And I think most people will agree, that the safety of your city’s residents is much more important than guarding a mural. He won’t protect NYC’s memorials or statues, but he can protect it’s murals. He r

When do we, as individuals, become too opinionated, oblivious of the consequences? When did we become a nation of “keyboard warriors”? In truth, we all believe that it would be a perfect world if everyone thought as we do. Yet we all know that this is impossible considering how numerous our society’s beliefs and opinions have become. Everyone having their own distinct personalities with their own unique views. It often seems that social media can be a bit too much at times. A society where everyone seems to be posting and sharing their every opinion, thought, and view on quite literally everything. In centuries past, most individuals would keep their opinions to themselves, unless asked. However, those days are long past. Everyone wanting to give their two cents’ worth, whether warranted or not.  It would seem to me that the truth often offends. That’s called life, and in life not everyone is going to agree with you. In life, eventually someone somewhere may inadvertently hurt your fee

Today, in Chicago, 18 police officers were severely injured by violent protesters while attempting to protect a Christopher Columbus statue. Rioters threw rocks, frozen bottles, lit fireworks, and other items at the ill-equipped officers. Thanks to Mayor Lightfoot’s decision to “reorganize” the police department. In this particular instance however, “reorganizing” the police meant that the officers involved lacked the necessary equipment to deal with possible rioting.  Two days prior to this, four police officers, including an NYPD chief, were injured by violent protesters. Prior to that incident, three more officers were violently assaulted by “protesters” attempting to cross the Brooklyn Bridge. A veteran Chicago police officer said, “ The lack of leadership has already gotten dozens of officers hurt....if the police aren't allowed to do what is needed we will be burying one of our own.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/07/18/us/chicago-protest-18-police-injured/

What kind of world are we leaving our children and future generations? Since when is it socially acceptable to bully, threaten, attack, or even kill an individual simply because they don’t wear a mask? Granted, it is state law in many places to wear a mask inside businesses or out in public. Yet to openly engage someone for not wearing one? Really people?!  Has the entire world gone mad? What happened to common curtesy or simply getting a manager to deal with an issue you’re having with another patron? No, instead you form a violent mob around them, cursing at them, and threatening their lives. Or worse, you shoot and kill someone because they publicly disagreed with you. This country is supposed to be the land of the free. Seems like it’s steadily becoming the land of the “Do As I Say And Not As I Do” instead. The fact is, our freedoms are being stripped away from us one by one, and most people haven’t even noticed. And yes, for the record, I do wear a mask. I wear one whether it’s ma

A  A handicapped man almost lost his life due to protesters aka violent mobs. A young mother, simply stating her personal opinion, was shot to death by violent individuals. What is this world coming to when you’re not allowed to have an opinion that’s different from the masses? Innocent Americans are being threatened, bullied, attacked and murdered in cold blood. Is this the “new” America that Democrats and Liberals envisioned? If so, then we’re all doomed.  handicapped A handicapped man almost lost his life due to    protesters aka violent mobs.

Protesters are tearing down statues and destroying monuments. Why? Because it offends them. How does it offend them? It just does. Doesn’t matter if it’s Washington, the founder of our great nation or slavery abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Tuskegee Airmen, who were black or Mahatma Ghandi’s statue, a man of peace, or the famous Hans Christian Anderson’s Little Mermaid statue. Every single statue or monument ever built offends and outrages these so called “peaceful protesters”. But they’re not peaceful, far from it. They’re looting, burning, and attacking innocent individuals. That’s not peaceful, it’s anarchy and domestic terrorism. The radical left claims it’s about black lives mattering and oppression by white people. Yet they are destroying statues and monuments of every ethnicity. They’re looting and burning black owned businesses. According to (D) Alexandria Ocasia Cortez, the protestors are looting to feed their families. Even though they’re receiving

Completely heartbreaking! These 6 children were murdered. They were not convicted murderers, or known felons with a rap sheet a mile long, nor were they in the process of committing a crime. They were innocent children. Where are the protests? Where is the condemnation and social unrest? Where is the justice for them? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/07/06/us/children-killed-holiday-weekend/index.html
