So Apple Is Trying to Compete With Samsung’s Big Screen Phones – My Take

I have a Note 3 and I’m already too accustomed to friends calling it “a flat screen TV!”

“How can you walk around with that thing by your ears,” they’ll asks, always laughing and joking about how big the thing is. “I can’t even fit it in my pocket” is often the next phrase and the jokes will continue. Then they’ll pull out their little iphones and the comparisons would start.

But I’m always the last one standing, because at the end of the discussion or argument in some cases, they all gravitate to my big screen, usually speechless by the quality of my pictures, high-definition videos, the exceptional processing speed and the ease at with everything flows. By this time, their little iphones with sub par processing and below average picture quality are tucked away in their pockets, hidden from sight.

All hail the Samsung!

So Apple unveiled their big screen iphone 6 and iphone 6 plus today, and a small screen smart watch because the big screen Samsung with their Galaxy and Note products is a big hit with consumers. People don’t want to pay hundreds of dollars for a device they have to squint their eyes to see, so with today’s release Apple is finally getting with the times and attempting to cut into Samsung’s hold on the big picture.

The iphone 6 comes in with a 4.7 inch screen, a tad smaller than the 5.1 inch Samsung Galaxy S5 and the iphone 6 plus has a 5.5 inch screen. And they also unveiled a smart watch or “AppleWatch too!

To my friends, welcome to your very own personal flatscreen TV! I doubt your resolution can compare to mine though! I’m pretty sure you will still be in awe, watching HiDefination programming on my TV Note!

ISIS

Congress’ Wish for Obama – “Just bomb the place and tell us about it later”

Rep. Jack Kingston

So we may be heading for another war, have you heard? A war with the terrorist group called ISIS. And as such, and according to the United States Constitution, Congress should be the ones making the final decision for war. Congress should have a debate and vote on any military engagement with ISIS.

But Congress is filled to the brim with cowards. Spineless politicians whose only focus is securing their own longevity even at the expense of the American people. Let me rephrase that… especially at the expense of the American people.

So although the Constitution demands that Congress stand up and do their job, the job they were elected to do, chances are that the cowards would cower and bury their heads under a rock until the President makes his decision… again!

Take what Jack Kingston had to say for example. And his sentiments are so true when talking about these congressional cowards. Now Kingston said that he is willing to take a vote on military action against ISIS, but listen to the his words when describing the thinking of his fellow congress members.

“A lot of people would like to stay on the sideline and say, ‘Just bomb the place and tell us about it later. It’s an election year. A lot of Democrats don’t know how it would play in their party, and Republicans don’t want to change anything. We like the path we’re on now. We can denounce it if it goes bad, and praise it if it goes well and ask what took him so long.”

Again, longevity. These people are willing to put aside the Constitution in order to secure another couple of years in Congress. And it makes you wonder, if they don’t want to do their job, why are they trying so hard to keep that job?

Sometimes, politics stink!

Pat Buchanan Says Immigration Reform is Worst Than ISIS Threat – Audio

 

In this nation of immigrants, Pat Buchanan – who is not a native Indian as far as I can tell – is comparing immigration to the ISIS terrorist group, and Buchanan thinks immigration in America is more dangerous.

While talking with Conservative talker, Laura Ingraham, Buchanan said, “Look, we’d better realize here that the United States itself is in tremendous long-term danger.”

He continued,

“I think, and the bleeding border along our southern border, the mass movement of people from all over the world into this country, the decomposition of this country socially and culturally, politically, all of these things, it seems to me, are far greater long-term threats to the United States than even those dreadful characters over there in Syria or Iraq beheading people,” Buchanan said in audio captured by WorldNetDaily.

Buchanan went on to echo Phyllis Schlafly’s warning that new immigrants will largely vote Democratic, thereby destroying America.

Ray Rice’s Wife Defends Her Husband, But is Angry With The Media!

I was talking to someone this morning about this whole Ray Rice incident that captivated the nation. And this person said something to me that I hadn’t thought about before and that is, “if Ray Rice could come out in public and knock his then fiancée unconscious, then only God knows what goes on behind closed doors.”

And that thought came back to mind again after reading that Rice’s wife, Janay Rice, is upset. Not at her husband and the fact that she almost lost her life at his hands no, she is angry at the media for reporting on the incident.

Classic battered woman syndrome – protect the abuser!

A day after TMZ released the full video showing exactly how Ray Rice knocked her unconscious, Janay Rice took to her Instagram account to not only defend her husband, but also to express her utter frustration with the media for covering the incident.

“I woke up this morning, feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I’m mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it’s reality is a nightmare itself. No one know the pain that the media & unwanted options from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret everyday is a horrible thing.”

No, don’t try to view the Instagram post, Janay’s profile is private. But a screenshot of the post was captured by Jeff Zrebiec, a Ravens beat writer for the Baltimore Sun, and tweeted out on Twitter.

Here is the screenshot of Janay’s full message;

New York Police Handcuffed And Beat Latino Man for ‘Asking a Question’ – Video

Welcome to the world of ‘stop and frisk,’ where you have absolutely no rights if you look a certain way… more specifically, if you are a certain color.

A New York man found this stop and frisk world extremely painful as he was stopped by police, frisked. And when he had the audacity to ask why he was being searched – the nerve if this man to think he had protection under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution from unnecessary search and seizure – he was handcuffed, arrested and beaten.

Two videos actually exist of the beating of Santiago Hernandez: One from a security camera, and the other from a mobile phone. Taken together, the two corroborate Hernandez’s claim that he was kicked, beaten with night sticks, and pepper sprayed. But Hernandez says even before that, he was confused by why he was stopped for a search, and why exactly that search led to his arrest.

“She just was telling me to put my hands behind my back, but ‘I’m like trying to understand what are you are arresting me for. Can you please tell me?’” he recounted to ABC7.

“I’m a person to ask questions. If I didn’t do nothing wrong, I’m trying to understand the reason, what they are thinking of me, or what was the reason at all to arrest me,” he added.

The charges against Hernandez were eventually dropped and an investigation is being conducted… by the NYPD. #Eyeroll

“Almost Evil” – A New Ad about Mitch McConnell

Do you really need more words to describe this new AFL-CIO ad about Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell?

This new ad is running in Kentucky where polling shows McConnell extending his lead considerably over his Democratic challenger, Alison Lundergan Grimes.

In the latest ad, titled “Almost Evil” and timed to coincide with Reid’s introduction of a minimum-wage proposal, the women blame the Koch brothers for Republican opposition to raising the minimum wage. “I think it’s deplorable that the Koch brothers would want to take away minimum wage,” Joyce Koch says in the ad, provided to the Herald-Leader Sunday. She adds in the end: “That’s a misuse of wealth and power, and I really think it’s almost evil.”
