Our shifting reality

Ben Affleck sorry he had 'Finding Your Roots' conceal slave-owning ancestor

What Affleck should be more concerned with is discovering his own lack personality; he apparently needs talented writers to create his role in reality and Hollywood executives to edit what is produced.

China reportedly issues new warning over North Korean nuclear production

If China is issuing warnings over and out of control puppet nation, we should take that warning seriously.

Facing threat in Congress, Pentagon races to resettle Guantanamo inmates

This is not good... placing UNIFORMED military personnel in the middle of a fight between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branches of our government. The headline of this article is misleading...When it states the "Pentagon races to resettle Guantanamo inmates" should read, Obama appointees and some "flag level" officers race to follow the orders of the Commander in Chief. This is another example of Obama trying to lead without the oversight of Congress. I am confident that military personnel in Cuba will follow the orders of their chain of command.

Tale of two presidents: Obama and Putin

Thank goodness that people of the world believe that Obama is an exceptional leader, according to the World Gallup Poll. This feeds the needs of an inexperienced, egotistical community, and union organizer. Every world leader, especially Putin can play Obama like a toy because of his inexperience.

Wal-Mart store closure follows labor activism

I read a lot of assumptions in this article but very few confirmed facts. At the beginning of the lead paragraph it reads, "It's certainly possible that." REALLY? It's also possible that a contractor who built all the stores, paying expensive, California mandated union wages to union employees caused those plumbing problems! Los Angeles Times, why don't you investigate instead of instigate with assumptions?

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation as Russians Pressed for Control of Uranium Company

Americans really need to read this article, and I'm sure the follow-up national and international news stories about the corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton. They are using their positions in the Democratic Party and national politics to sell off American strategically important assets to Russia. Buried in this article is the fact that Obama appointed cabinet members had given approval for this to happen. According to this article in the New York Times, "When a company controlled by the Chinese government sought a 51 percent stake in a tiny Nevada gold mining operation in 2009, it set off a secretive review process in Washington, where officials raised concerns primarily about the mine’s proximity to a military installation, but also about the potential for minerals at the site, including uranium, to come under Chinese control. The officials killed the deal.

"Such is the power of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. The committee comprises some of the most powerful members of the cabinet, including the attorney general, the secretaries of the Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, Commerce and Energy, and the secretary of state. They are charged with reviewing any deal that could result in foreign control of an American business or asset deemed important to national security."
