  Immigration The immigration crackdown began last night with raids in sanctuary cites including New York City. Over 500 undocumented migrants wanted for outstanding crimes were arrested. This would be the beginning of the immigration policy under the Trump administration. I wonder what took so long with arresting these migrants that have committed crimes. It is an interesting system. It is important to consider the percentage of migrants that commit crimes is low compared to those migrants that come to this country to work for their families. Migrants from Mexico can make $10-15 dollar an hour for a day’s work. Compared to making $10 a day for similar work in their country. In a month they can earn enough money to help their family in Mexico buy a car. This is one reason to come to the United States to work. The immigration system needs to be overhauled. This should include pathways for guest workers and other migrants that are hard working. This should also include pathwa...

Immigration reform, again, was the big news story today. President Trump met with Republicans and Democrats to discuss a solution for 700,000 people that might face deportation if Congress does not fix DACA. The meeting was streamed online as if it were a reality show. Don’t we already have C-SPAN? The topic of Immigration always comes up when no other political issues need to be solved. This time a fix to DACA might be tied to a bill to avoid a government shutdown. Immigration has not be a political issue alone. The issue is raised before election for the House or the Senate or before the Presidential election. The issue is raised to either get votes from those who support immigration or to get votes from those that do not support immigration. Politicians will first take a side depending on the votes that they need. Politicians do not put the people affect by immigration reform or DACA.   Now the issue is upfront for the next 10 days. It is an issue because of a government ...

Is the United States ready for it’s first Female President? Are we ready for a female in this country? Are men ready? In viewing the different media online and the social media sites, I question the choices of reporting and non reporting. This reporting does not favor Hillary. Could the media be shaping the election so that a female is not elected. Is a picture being painted that say no, not that woman, Hillary. Is just not a woman? Other countries have had women leaders for a while. Women are the majority in the United States. I wonder if women are ready for a woman to be President.

The movie American Sniper is #1 at the box office once again. It aims to portray the effect war has on individuals and families. The reviews and audience reaction are good. What is not good is the debate over where the main character is a patriot or a psychotic killer. Some in Hollywood have express the dislike for the film, like Michael Moore and Seth Rogen, saying that Chris Kyle was just a coward and a murderer. Others have countered this argument with Kyle begin a war hero, Sarah Palin and all at Fox News. The director, Clint Eastwood, says he wanted to present how war is difficult it is for soldiers and families. The film is based on a true story, the film does not aim to be a true story of Chris Kyle. If that was the case, Chris Kyle’s book tour and his encounter with former Minnesota Governor, Jesse Ventura would have been presented. Actually, that encounter was redacted from the book because it did not happen. In all of debate, the movie studio continues to make money ...

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. On one side, Jonathan Martin left the team for his own personal reasons because of Martin's actions. Martin talked to his coach and has not returned to the team. Is Richie Incognito a bully or a team leader? Is Jonathan Martin soft and going against team rules or the NFL culture...

So there is a demand for the Colonel's recipe. It's not in the United States. It is in Gaza. Sounding like the procedure to get a bowl of soup from the Soup Nazi, the process has some rules. It will cost you some money also. The fast food delights that are available to us in the United States are unlike that of other countries. In Gaza, there are few if any fast food choices. In this area of the world, what happens to mom and pop restaurants if Fast Food moves in? What are the implications for a culture? There are already implications and new restaurants are not in the country yet. If you want it and can afford it, it will get to you.  Sounds like something that happens in the United States, except in the US it is usually not fast food, but some other drug or drug like action. This value of instant gratification is usually a bad thing in the US. What would the addition of this value to Gaza do to it's culture? That is already being seen in this one example. Some may ca...

Did you ever play “tag” when you were a child? Some may have called it “IT.” That was some much fun, the rules were simple. “Your it. No your it. He is it. She is it” Those were the phrases heard from the play ground. Well, now some school districts are banning the game. No more “tag” on the playground. The reasons have to do with not wanting accidents and the liability issue. Schools are worried about getting sued. Now why would some parent want to take a school or their staff to court because of the game of Tag. So far the game has not been blamed for mental issues. Wait… Maybe I should take a look at it. This could be a therapeutic questions in counseling. “So tell me, Did you play tag growing up? Are you still it?... I think we have found your problem.” Outlawing tag, what is next? Redefining what constitutes a hug? Oh, sorry, that has already been done. I think I have a solution. We could have children play tag on XBOX or Playstation. Of course, we keep redefining play on the play...
