U.S. And The South China Sea

There's a dispute over territorial waters in the South China Sea. This is something that needs to be worked out at the U.N.

Back in May we were tapping the border with an aircraft and got a warning from China, now we doing it with a ship.and got a warning. This is stupid, why are we antagonizing China?

Did I Miss The Trial?

Did I miss the trial? or is he being the judge and the jury?

...Mo Brooks of Alabama told a radio interviewer that "she (Hillary Clinton) will be a unique president if she is elected by the public next November because the day she's sworn in is the day that she's subject to impeachment because she has committed high crimes and misdemeanors."...

 BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- A tiny school district in Idaho far removed from law enforcement has purchased firearms and trained a handful of staff to use them should the same school shooting rampage that has occurred across the country take place......

I am prior military and have a B.S. degree in Law Enforcement. Here's the problem. They'll be trained on how to use the weapons, but they won't have CQC (closed quarters combat) training, Shoot don't shoot training, or friendly fire training. Without that training mistakes are so easy to make. During my training, I still clearly remember shooting the person running towards me, pulling a steel object out of his pocket while I was yelling "stop". "freeze". In the training I shot, and it turned out I shot an innocent deaf mute.

Interesting idea to get people to vote, but I would have broken the $10,000 into $20, $50, $100 prizes so people have a better chance of winning.

Both Sides Of The Story

Something that I have found so very important to do is listening to both sides of a story. If you hear a story about China, go directly to a Chinese news source and read their side of the story: http://english.cntv.cn/  If you hear a story about Russia, go directly to a Russian news source and read their side of the story: https://www.rt.com/

You'll be amazed as to how much better you'll understand issues.

The Witch Hunt Continues

The witch hunt continues. Next they'll want to dunk Hillary to prove she's a witch.
