TV’s Judge Mathis Weighs in on the execution of Troy Davis

The world watched as the United States of America, land of the free, home of the brave, murdered a man against the very principles it tries to spread militarily to other nations. All while President Obama kept silent, who even though he had no jurisdiction in the case allowed what might not be appropriate be more important than wrongful execution of man. The amount of doubt in the Troy Davis case was more than enough to warrant a stay of execution and grant a new trial. “Georgia has blood on its hands” “Dating back to his time in the Illinois...

Former President Bill Clinton Says American Dream’s Been Under Assault For 30 Years

Bill Clinton’s Straight Talk on Lagging U.S. Economy Former President Bill Clinton says the American dream “has been under assault for 30 years” while speaking about jobs and the economy at the Clinton Global Initiative’s annual meeting.

9/11 First Responders Not Invited To 10 Year Memorial Either

The 10 year anniversary date of the September 11 tragedy is getting closer. The 10 year memorial event will be held in New York City at the new 9/11 Memorial. As with many Big Apple extravaganzas, the guest list is exclusive. Actual survivors of the devastation of what happened on 9/11 aren’t on the list and it also appears that the first responders aren’t either. Mayor Bloomberg is again citing the same excuse that there is not enough space to accommodate those that answered the call and put their lives at risk to help their fellow human beings. These are...

The national debt savings deal amount

Yes ladies and gentlemen the mark in black is the savings over the next 10 years that was decided on in the final debt negotiations. That small sliver right there is what the Republicans were willing to let America default over. Now of course John Stewart is making light of the situation, he’s a comedian it’s what he does. But it is definitely not something that Americans should be taken lightly. The deal also provided for a creation of a super Congress to find even more cuts to make in the long-term. This new body is made up of the...
