Ramblings

UNITED STATES—From time to time, we have to take a moment and truly look at the budget and try to make sense of what is coming into the household and what is going out. This is something that many Americans fail to properly do. I will admit I am one of those individuals as well. We look at our...

UNITED STATES—Now this topic might be a bit heavy, it might annoy some people and it might open up the blinders on those people who refuse to see what is looking them straight in the eyes, but they refuse to acknowledge it. We all have people in our lives who I consider the freeloader. It’s that person who is...

UNITED STATES—I always found it amazing that New Year’s Eve was not the BIGGEST drinking holiday of the year. I mean it seems everyone is celebrating on that day people. However, you might be surprised that it’s not, and that sales are quite higher during the summer months around holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Yes,...

UNITED STATES—Let’s talk about an issue that I think should be discussed a lot more in today’s society than we discuss: divorce. Divorce is something many people have encountered, while others come from families of divorce. Back in the days the idea of a divorce was second nature; it was something that people were expected not to do. If...

UNITED STATES—I honestly cannot believe that the hit reality competition series “American Idol” which was cancelled by the FOX network after airing for nearly 15 seasons. Well, it only took a year for another network to pick-up the hit series, however, the question of the hour remains: do we really need it? My personal thoughts, I don’t think so....

UNITED STATES—It’s probably the biggest news story of the week, well the past 7 days to be honest. I had planned to talk about this issue last week, but I decided to let things simmer a bit and really take in what has transpired. However, the firing of FBI Director James Comey by President Donald Trump has everyone, and...

UNITED STATES—It’s that time of year people: graduation season! So many of us are graduating or attending ceremonies for friends and family who have accomplished a big feat. Rather its preschool, kindergarten, middle school, high school, college or graduate school, it’s a happy occasion. However, the focus of this column is focused on what transpires for those graduating from...

UNITED STATES—For years we have had this ongoing debate between Republicans and Democrats about the issue of healthcare and health insurance in the United States of America. I mean I’ve echoed the issue so many times it has tied knots in my brain. Like can’t we already come to a compromise and utilize a methodology similar to what is...
