I went shopping at Wal-Mart and another grocery store. They have decorated for Christmas and show very little trace if any of Thanksgiving. I remember when this was an important holiday to give thanks, an important part of the History of the United States. Now it feels like it is the day to get ready to go shopping on Black Friday. Some stores are now opening on Thursday evening. Thanksgiving has been hi-jacked by corporate America. I have no issue with people make money, just not on this day. Of course, it would be good if United States Citizens would honor this day as it was so long ago. So much for the Great American Holiday, I just hope I can get a good deal on a television.

After our recent election and executive orders, particularly the order on immigration, how are people coping with this order. For some it is fear of being deported, which includes United States Citizens that might be targeted because they belong to the targeted Ethnic group. For United States Citizens that do not belong to the targeted ethnic group, is there a sense of entitlement?

Is it possible that she was offering boxes out of concern or was there underlying sarcasm in her remarks with her offer? I...

Many Democrats focus on how Corporations benefit from this tax reform. The tax package provides a deep cut in the corporate rate, from 35 percent to 21 percent.

The NFL Culture or a Professional Workplace Environment

We all have the right to a safe and humane work environment. Especially in the professional world. Is the NFL different? Are the players in the NFL professionals? These are some issues that are not being talked about at this time. Is the NFL Culture so different from other professional cultures? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9913324/sources-nflpa-eyes-miami-dolphins-richie-incognito-jonathan-martin-case This incident between Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin is the discussion and debate in the world of sports at this moment. On one side, Incognito has been riding Martin about his toughness all season. This includes phone calls and text messages that are very personal, racist, and threatening.
