Movie Review-Mending the Line

  The movie “Mending the Line” is a story about a Marine wounded in Afghanistan who is sent to a V.A. facility in Montana where he meets a Vietnam Vet who teaches him how to fly fish as a way of dealing with his emotional and physical trauma. The films director is Joshua Caldwell, writer Stephen Camelio and stars Brian Cox, Patricia Heaton, and Perry Mattfeld. Now when I saw the trailer, I was a little apprehensive about watching the movie because lately it seems that almost anything sends me back to my time in the Marines and host of unreconciled feelings as well as a few more nightmares but this one was different.   It showed true emotions and feelings as well as top notch action and drama, but the overall ending result was a massive feeling of joy and happiness that could never be explained or put into words. I am not about to sit here and try and tell you the entire movie because there is no way that I could capture the beauty and satisfying mark it will leave on you.   All tha

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

When the Republican Party Stopped Being the Party of Lincoln

  You hear many claim the Republican party as the Party of Lincoln when they make attempts to reform the current Republican Party into a party of human rights, decency, and a true governing body but these attempts soon fall face first at the feet of those who prefer to bully people instead of listening to them.   Those using this method often gets extremely frustrated because they thought this fact would snap them out of this MAGA funk and back to a party one could be truly proud of again. The frustration mounts because perhaps they said it to the wrong wayward Republicans or in the wrong group of the GOP because they truly believe that if anyone looked at the stance that Lincoln took, they would change directions and honor his name and memory.   The truth is, the Republican Party stopped being the party of Lincoln when those of political strength and influence created a plan to install their own guy into the seat of the presidency during Lincoln’s second term.   History tells us t

The Story No One Wishes to Hear

  Let’s begin at the beginning.   For those who wish to think that evil existed at the very same time as good, here’s something to think about.   In the Garden of Eden, there lived only two people and much vegetation and one particular apple tree, deemed the Tree of Knowledge.   Adam and Eve lived in a utopia without worry, fear, and dread until they allowed the one representative of evil to convince them to take a bite of an apple from that tree.   When they did this, they now knew themselves to be completely naked, which started the trip to now question everything.   That bite of that apple did more than just make them aware of their surroundings, it opened the door for evil to enter this world from which it would never leave.   Another shocker for those of your wishing to continue to stumble around in the dark.   Adam and Eve were not white, as many wishes us to believe.   Adam and Eve were Indian. Think that’s a lie, consider this. Ice-Age Indians are the ones responsible for pop

Know Yourself by Knowing Your Child

  FULL DISCLOSURE:   The opinion spoken here is mine and mine alone.   It is the culmination of over 40years in the field of Psychology/Sociology and over 60 years of existing on this earth, closely observing and analyzing the actions of the millions I have been surrounded by. While I welcome any and all comments and respect any and all positions even those in conflict with my own, make no mistake and let’s not get it twisted.

The Return of the Dixiecrats

  Today’s experts say that what we are dealing with today regarding Donald Trump and the Maga-Republicans making an unveiled attempt to end democracy as we think we know it is new.   Some used the word “unprecedented” but these proclamations from those who we are supposed to depend on to help understand what is really going on are WRONG.   The time of Donald Trump and the Maga-Republicans is neither new nor unprecedented.   It has happened before in our history but because we did not learn the lessons of the past and still to this day refuse to even honor that past, we are allowing history to repeat itself.   For the same souls that occupied the bodies of the once Dixiecrats have returned and now they inhabit the bodies of Maga-Republicans. In 1957 there was a small faction of governmental leaders lead by then Governor Strom Thurman within the Democrat Party who called themselves Dixiecrats.   These highly educated dictators were so in defense of the southern way of life that they

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
