You Think What?

Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab has been charged with attempting to blow up an American airliner on Christmas Day. But is he really the danger we are told he is by the government and the media? Might this baby-faced young man be a hero?

We just read an article (more…)

Every time we hear of a terror attack, successful or not, we take the facts provided with a grain of salt. Call us cynical. We just do not believe the terrorists are so dumb. To us the “current terrorists” are like characters from some 1960s era Buck Henry teevee spy spoof comedy. We’re thinking Don Adams in “Get Smart”. Why are the terrorists we hear about most often so god-awful incompetent? Not that we’re hoping for competence in terrorism but we’re just saying…. (more…)

When United States President Barack Obama presented his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech entitled, “A Just And Lasting Peace” the world was in awe.

Many were proud and pleased to see him receive the honor; others were perplexed by the irony that the man who recently determined to escalate the war in Afghanistan is the most recent recipient of a prize that pays tribute to peace. (more…)

We watched the speech delivered by President Barack Obama at the Military Academy at West Point in West Point, New York. We were very disappointed.

We were among the thousands who wrote to the president asking him not to commit more troops to the war in Afghanistan.

We are among the millions who know there is more to this story than meets the eye.

We heard Mr. Obama’s elegant and eloquent obfuscation of the facts. We heard him say the security of the United States is at risk.

Hmmm, that sounds to us like they have something in Afghanistan, like the Panama Canal, or the oil in Iraq, vital to our existence. It sounds like they have something we want. It sounds like the usual spin on the facts. Something belonging to another sovereign nation must be confiscated by our military in order to further the U.S. goal of world domination.

Tell the truth Mr. President. We implore you! The true reason for the surge in Afghanistan. Tell us the truth about the strategy to take what does not belong to us. Tell us the truth about minimizing the sovereignty of another nation. Didn’t we do this already in Iraq when our troops invaded in 2003?

Blanche Africa Reilly Dark has another report on more educated young people who are giving back to their community and the world at large.

You may remember LaDonna and Darnell Suggs

from their June 2008, five week appearance on the Today Show as contestants in the Race to The Altar competition; where one lucky couple wins an all expense paid televised wedding and private, lavish honeymoon.

I knew they were winners going into the competition. Handsome, confident, intelligent Darnell from St. Louis, Missouri and Decatur, Georgia along with, at the time his lovely fiance LaDonna from historic Tuskegee, Alabama–a true southern beauty, who is as brilliant as she is good looking, were the couple to watch.

And indeed millions did watch, as I did , as these two very accomplished young adults won the competition and were married on June 25, 2008, live, on the NBC television network.

Well this is what electrical/computer engineering professionals do after they marry each other. They establish a foundation. The Suggs Foundation, Inc, is a non-profit corporation, to promote scholastic values for those who follow them. (more…)
