Foreign affairs used to be the one area where the country supported the president to show the world that, although we might have messy domestic issues, the United States was indeed united when confronting the world. Oh how things have changed. I support the Iran deal for three basic reasons: 1. I assume that Iran… Continue reading The Iran Deal Will Survive

All Eyes On Israel
We’re going to need our mucking boots today because we’re going to wade into the Middle East. Until now, I have assiduously avoided all mention of the region because it’s messy and confusing and controversial and, quite frankly, my ideas have, shall we say, evolved over time. But the events of the day are far… Continue reading All Eyes On Israel
Elected, Perchance to Govern?
Mitch McConnell, moderate. I thought I’d never see that characterization, but after last week’s embarrassing, incompetent, dangerous gambit the House Republicans played, he’s looking like the only GOP adult in the room. John Boehner seems to have lost his caucus and is now dependent on the far right to dictate what gets done in the… Continue reading Elected, Perchance to Govern?
Top Black Democrats will Skip Netanyahu’s Republican Speech
All Democrats in Congress should be preparing to skip this speech. Doing so has nothing to do with Israel or the relationship that country has with America, skipping the speech will however emphasize the blatant disrespect shown by Boehner and his Republican party, and the disrespect Netanyahu is showing apparently has for the American political… Continue reading Top Black Democrats will Skip Netanyahu’s Republican Speech
From Summer to Serious
I’ve always found it interesting when the calendar changes to the day after Labor Day and the country gets serious. The rest of the world doesn’t know from this holiday and I’m sure there’s a great deal of literature on how the calendar affects world affairs. Thus, here we are. The world continues to be… Continue reading From Summer to Serious
Rick Perry – So What if Kids are Killed in Gaza, People “Lose Their Lives in War!” – Video
Innocent women and children are being slaughtered in Gaza, some of them killed when Israeli bombs dropped on their schools, hospitals and UN sanctioned “safe zones.” But if you listened to Rick Perry, there is no problem here.

In an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic, UN Official Christopher Gunness could not contain his emotions when asked about the clear massacre of innocent lives in Gaza. “The rights of Palestinians, and even their children, are wholesale denied… and its appalling,” Gunness said, right before breaking down in tears, a breathtaking image captured on video.

IS ISRAEL NOW PART OF “THE AXIS OF EVIL?”
Photo: Lefteris Pitarakis/AP As seen on America The Not So Beautiful July 31, 2014 By Mike Caccioppoli OK Israel, enough is enough. When you start to bomb schools and kill sleeping children you have lost me for good. I knew Netanyahu was a right wing scum bucket, but now he should be considered a terrorist.… Continue reading IS ISRAEL NOW PART OF “THE AXIS OF EVIL?”
Obama: This Duck Is Still Mobile
You would think, from all the talk about the midterm elections and the final two years of the Obama Administration, that the president doesn’t matter anymore or that absolutely nothing will get done in Washington between now and January 2017. While we may be fighting political gridlock, and the possibility that few if any consequential… Continue reading Obama: This Duck Is Still Mobile
Benjamin Netanyahu: They’re Responsible For Us Killing Them
In an interview on Meet The Press, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cast blame for the hundreds of deaths in Gaza squarely on the back of Hamas. According to the prime minister, Hamas is using people to shield their missiles and when Israel attack these missiles, the people get killed instead. “We use missiles to… Continue reading Benjamin Netanyahu: They’re Responsible For Us Killing Them
Gaza Massacre Extends Past 1000 – Israel Waits an Additional 4 Hours Before The Massacre Continues
(AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis) I guess we should thank Israel for their kindness in allowing the innocent residents of Gaza – the ones still alive – to pull their dead from the rubble. Instead of a 12 hour cease fire, Israel gave the poor souls an additional 4 hours to prepare for more bloodshed! Thousands of… Continue reading Gaza Massacre Extends Past 1000 – Israel Waits an Additional 4 Hours Before The Massacre Continues
The Silly Season Gets Serious
I took my talents to South Beach over the weekend for a relative’s surprise birthday party, and on the plane to and fro I had the opportunity to…think. Love airplane mode. Phones and tablets should have other modes, such as marriage mode, play-with-children mode, just-watch-one-screen mode, or perhaps physical media mode, where you would be… Continue reading The Silly Season Gets Serious
