News Roundup...Oh, Puh-leeze!

It's been a while since my last post.  I decided that with so many things in the news, it would just be better to try and absorb what's going on before writing.  Some things have been very disturbing, most notably, the terrorists attacks in Paris.  I pray for the families of those that were killed and injured.  I also hope that France's president continues to be steadfast in fighting the war against the terrorists.

There have been a number of things in the news and on social media that I wanted to address.  I'll do this over my next few posts.

President Obama appears on 60 Minutes and is interviewed by Steve Kroft.  During the interview, Obama says that climate change is the biggest threat our country faces.  Seriously? I mean really? What about terrorism?  I know he considers ISIS (or ISIL if you prefer) to be a JV squad, but he can't really believe that arming ourselves with carbon credits is the most effective way to protect the homeland...can he?

                                               
The Mizzou saga.  Well,  initially, this one was a little hard to grasp.  Mostly because the media did a very poor job of giving us pertinent facts as the saga unfolded.  Details were murky to say the least. We were told that the campus was a virtual hotbed of racist activity and that the administration turned a deaf ear to the needs of black students.  We also learned that a grad student, Jonathan Butler was on

This Is the Email Mentioned During the Show

With the latest show being up on Youtube, I'm sure some of you wanted to read the entire email that I talked about and promised to post. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I received an email from someone (that I know) who responded to a facebook post by Father Michael Pfleger, the social activist Catholic priest in Chicago.  Pleger posted his concern about Donald Trump possibly bringing out the worse in Americans, and how scary he thought the was.  So here it is.

First, Father Pfleger's post:

The disgust with Politicians across this Country has allowed A Donald Trump to become a Leading candidate in the Republican party.... The real scary thing to me though, is How many Americans Believe in what he stands for!!!! While many laugh and enjoy his free style ranting....we should be frightened, because he is bringing out the very worse of American values and giving them a platform. Perhaps Mr. Trump is pulling back the covers on the Real America....and that my friends is the scariest thing of all.......

This Is How We Do It

Finally got the last show up on Youtube.  It took a while, but the good news is that I now know how to upload really large files in a fairly short time.  You won't believe how long the other ones took to load...let's just say I could drive over a hundred miles and it would still be loading when I got back...but no more!

On the latest show (dated 8/10/15), Chris and I knock it out the ball park.  It's a hot show--maybe too hot...nah, it's just real  But here's what we talk about:

Presidential politics - why the front runners are leading and why the others won't catch up

The deadliest place for blacks
