Marijuana Legalization Reduces Illegal Smuggling from Mexico

The U.S. Border Patrol confiscated a high (no pun intended) of over 3.8 million pounds of cannabis (marijuana) in 2009. Analysts now expect seizures to drop to 0.6 million pounds in fiscal year 2019. This is a reduction of 84 percent. Princeton Policy Advisors show the dramatic drop in illicit drugs nabbed at the U.S. … Continue reading Marijuana Legalization Reduces Illegal Smuggling from Mexico →

Generation of Mental 2nd Graders

Late-night comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, used a second-grader to explain America's trade deficit to his Left-leaning audience. HuffPost writer, Lee Moran, claims the young lady's video is an "education for both POTUS and anyone else who may be bewildered by trade terminology." Kimmel's approach makes sense when looking deeper into this audience. YouGov, a British market research … Continue reading Generation of Mental 2nd Graders →

Civil War over the United States of America Border

In his annual letter to JPMorgan Chase shareholders, Jamie Dimon, Wall Street's longest-serving CEO, said, "We need to resolve immigration — it is tearing apart our body politic and damaging our economy." Dimon believes immigration reform is "important both morally and economically." I previously pointed out moral and economic failures in our current immigration policy, as well … Continue reading Civil War over the United States of America Border →

Enough with statues, give back the land

The Millennial generation fascinates me due to their collective failure to reason and act logically. Each generation of course has strengths and weaknesses. The 1960s offered children a world where The Bomb could result in global destruction at any moment while The Pill created a "free love" culture and new opportunities for women. Kids grew up … Continue reading Enough with statues, give back the land →

Shot in the Back Seven Times

UPDATE: 4.4.18: I've listened to a number of Black protestors who talked about the "great guy" and "decent family man" Stephon Clark was. Nobody has explained why he was running through backyards. Was he breaking in homes? Faith Linthicum, a California nurse, was fired from her job after suggesting Stephon Clark deserved to be killed by … Continue reading Shot in the Back Seven Times →

The War Against Boys

Yesterday, I pointed out the gender bias in reports about teen suicide. These are tragic occurrences and represent collective failures of our society. No child, boy or girl, should suffer conditions that lead them to take their own life. Adults and leaders have an obligation to create a better world for all our children. I … Continue reading The War Against Boys →

Girls Commit Suicide. Who Cares About Boys?

Each day I read another article about the growing challenges for girls, teen females and women in America. In the August 4, 2017 edition of TIME Health, Rachel Lewis wrote, "The suicide rate among teen girls reached a 40-year high in 2015, according to new analysis from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention." Researchers … Continue reading Girls Commit Suicide. Who Cares About Boys? →

Facebook PROMISED NOT to sell your data

I have shown how Facebook spies on us. I've documented the process how Facebook cheated for Obama. And, I've taught readers to Understand Facebook and Psychographics. Edward Snowden commented about Facebook on Twitter today: Facebook: "This is their information. They own it" BBC: "And you won’t sell it?" FB: "No! Of course not." Please help this 2009 interview … Continue reading Facebook PROMISED NOT to sell your data →

Senator Claire McCaskill to the Rescue

Americans have rarely been as divided along partisan lines as they are now, according to the Pew Research Center. Their recent study shows the nation’s political differences on most issues have widened after the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency. The average gap between Democrats and Republicans in 1994 was fifteen points. Today, it’s 36 points. … Continue reading Senator Claire McCaskill to the Rescue →
