Point of View

UNITED STATES—Some of you may know, some of you may not, but a day of reckoning could occur in the entertainment industry that could have ripple effects on the world of television and film as we know it. A writers strike could be looming for the Writer’s Guild of America. Strikes are rare in the industry, but they have...

UNITED STATES—I really don’t understand the behavior in this country anymore. It just feels like people do not care about others. Things have to operate their way and be damned what others think. It is almost like the notion of chivalry being dead. I don’t think chivalry is dead. There are guys out there who are still gentlemen and...

UNITED STATES─For so many Americans we do not take vacations like we should. It’s like we have that nagging fear of something bad happening to us if we choose to take some time off from work. Look America, I’m here to tell you that if you’ve been at a job for at least a year you are entitled to...

UNITED STATES—Hello Toni: As a certified case manager and critical care unit RN, I am advising adult children who are desperately seeking advice for their parents that are closing in on end-of-life issues.  Those that have serious health care issues should be offered every option for proper planning as end-of-life care…most appropriately… hospice!

With that said, I am fully vaccinated, and it still baffles me how I contracted the virus, it seems this virus has wiggled its way around those who are vaccinated and boosted people. I would argue...

UNITED STATES—I have a problem with the government.  It seems everyday that our nations politicians are doing everything in their power to control what other people are doing on a daily basis.  You were not elected into office to decide necessary “what you think is best for those you represent” you were elected into office to “do what we...

UNITED STATES—If you haven’t seen the movie “American Sniper” you might want to run to the theaters to catch the flick about Iraq war veteran and famed sniper Chris Kyle. In the recent weeks, the movie has taken the box-office by storm and along the way controversy has risen. As a critic who has seen the flick, “American Sniper” was...

UNITED STATES—Just this week I heard two tales about bullying incidents that shook me to the core. In one case a young girl decided to cut off her hair to highlight those fighting for cancer and to donate, the other case a young boy who had a bully stab him in the eye with a pencil.   In both cases,...

UNITED STATES—I haven’t played a video game in nearly 20 years America. Yes, it really has been that long for me. So last week I talked about one of the hottest items hit the store shelves just in time for the Christmas holiday: the SNES classic. It was the iconic video game system from Nintendo that arrived in the...
