Tommy Martinez and Elsa Almendarez have a daunting mission to accomplish. They are educators who operate a long established training program at Loaves and Fishes of the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. This multi-service feeding and shelter organization has a training and work placement center that is steadily providing a means for the unskilled, the underemployed and the unemployed to qualify for available work or better positions.
I celebrated my 58th birthday this past Monday, May 3. Accordingly, it is time for my annual “Strictly Personal” column. I think it only fair that readers should have an opportunity to learn a little something about the person who writes the words they read. Today’s column is designed with that goal in mind. And since Charley Reese (one of my favorite columnists) stopped writing, I am the only syndicated columnist that does this, as far as I know. So, here goes.
As I watch the impact of “multiculturalism” change the cultural foundation of America into a polarized polyglot of tension across every state where it grows via immigration—I cannot help but think that Americans have become the victims of their own apathy and naiveté. One look at Europe illustrates the folly of multiculturalism for both sides of the equation. Trying to mix cultures, tribes and religions proves as successful as mixing oil, water, gasoline and a lit match.
A pundit gushed over President Obama’s busy-ness since pushing through historic healthcare legislation. After enumerating accomplishments, she closed, “Frankly, I worry about his health.” Obama has been busy. Trying to keep up with just his energy-related activities makes my head spin. There is no way the average person could follow all the plans, proposals, bills, or executive orders. While the concern expressed was for Obama’s health, my concern is for the health of energy in America—and ultimately for America itself.
Wouldn’t you know it? Turn a bunch of Republicans loose in the Virginia legislature and governor’s office and before you can say “Socialized Medicine” they are exposing school kids to guns. Why can’t we get back to normal where Democrats expose school children to safe products, like condoms?
How many of these names do you recognize? Adolfo Carrion, Aneesh Chopra, Ear; Devamey, Kenneth Feinberg, Carol Browner, Ed Montgomery, Todd Stern, Cass Sunstein, Ron Bloom, and John Brennan. If none of them ring a bell, it is because they and others are all part of a shadow government of some thirty “czars”; advisors to President Obama who did not submit to the Senate confirmation process and are exempt from Congressional oversight.
The counterintelligence function involves protecting the country, as well as intelligence agencies, from the activities of foreign intelligence services.
They have been crying out seeking help for decades and America has turned its back on these special warriors. We knew there were problems not long after the first fireballs lit up the skies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but we did nothing. We, the nation of great global compassion for those who suffer through every manmade and natural disaster, have had little to no feeling for our own warriors who were exposed to atomic radiation.
According to progressive thought, as articulated by President Obama, High Priest of Liberal Logic, the “solution” to illegal aliens is really quite elementary: Grant all 12 million or so amnesty.
Subsequent to the June 9 elections tarred by fraud, a poorly-known organization further increased its power in Iran. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini created the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (“Pasdaran” or “IRGC”) following the 1979 Islamic Revolution to safeguard the foundations of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while countering influence of the regular military. Today, the IRGC, nominally still charged to enforce the strict moral codes of the nation, has delegated that responsibility to a volunteer paramilitary Islamic group, the “Basij”, technically under the IRGC umbrella.
