226. Why The US Dollar is the Next Currency to Die October 01, 2015 The dollar has been the World’s Reserve Currency since the 1970s when the Gold Standard was abandoned by President Nixon. Since then, the US dollar is widely accepted across the world making it the world’s leading currency. Today 43% of all cross border transactions use the US dollar. Furthermore, central bank reserves indicate that the value of the dollar is strong with 61% of these reserves being in dollars. However, speculation has been rife over the past few years that this currency may die even as its percentage of the world’s currency supply diminishes. This is backed by a report by...

227. Pope addresses lawmakers two days after they allow abortion after twenty weeks October 01, 2015 In the PC climate of today any correction or allusion to truth either dies in the face of cultural trends or is construed as bashing, hatred or some new phobia. It is the new byzantine way of saying, just shut up and go away. The reasons 950 million Protestants who have not fallen into apostasy believe the scriptures alone are authoritative and not the Pope have always been known, but the world is both prone and prophetically driven to choose the path of religious dogma rather than accept the authority of scripture. An amateur or a first year student of the Greek language knows that ... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

228. The Role of Iran-Syria-Russia Axis September 29, 2015 There is a constant unending propaganda by the Russian and Iranian sympathizers linking the ISIS with Saudi Arabia, or calling it a creation of the U.S. and Israel. The fact of the matter is that Mujahedeen were funded and created by the ISI CIA Joint operations to deal through covert means to defeat the USSR. This was effectively used against them, however, the offshoot of those Mujahedeen resulted in the shape of Taliban and Al Qaeda. The CIA did not foresee this. In most FIRs (First Information Report) at a crime scene, the beneficiary to the crime is investigated. In t... (read more) Author: Dr. Gholam Mujtaba

229. Nawaz Sharif & Narendra Modi, failed Leadership at World Forum September 29, 2015 A man who could hardly pass his 14th grade exam by securing less than 45% marks, a man who failed to succeed in honest business, a man who flunked in sports, and a man who was refused a place in film industry was selected to become the Finance Minister of the largest province of Pakistan at the whims of a leader of military’s authoritarian rule. And there he rose to the Premiership of a country that portrayed her as an Islamic power. This degradation of leadership is not only witnessed in Pakistan, rather the same is reflected in the selection of a “chaiiwala”, a man whose hands are stai... (read more) Author: Dr. Gholam Mujtaba

230. 7 Easy Questions for the Donald that Even an "Apprentice" Could Answer September 27, 2015 Should we ask Donald Trump or Forrest Gump these all important questions? The Donald calls a lot of people “stupid”- Forrest Gump at least offered a definition for stupid. Gump said – “Stupid is as stupid does” In the area of what Trump has done or what he is doing, we will have to eliminate the acquisition of ten billion dollars for the obvious reasons. A child’s first trip to Disney World and an adult’s first million dollars are both pretty much fantasies for the average American so for the sake of this argument we will set aside the entire matter of acquiring wealth for the more p...

231. Suicide Ceanup Services September 25, 2015 It is estimated that suicide is the leading cause of death among teens and young adults aged between 15 to 28 years while it is the fourth leading cause of death for people aged 50 to 65 years; this is especially so in the United States of America. Anyone who hasn’t experienced a suicide in their families and lost a child or a sibling may not know the mount of grief that such families will go through. Apart from the emotional grief that they have to go through, trying to clean the scene of such a traumatic event is even more difficult. People may not want to imagine that their homes can become...

233. You Can Start the Roman Persecution Again - But Our King is not the President September 15, 2015 One of the chief reasons that Christians were dragged into the arenas and the Coliseum was because they would not heel to the Roman law that required that they name no other King besides the Roman emperor. For true Christians not naming Christ as our King would be the equivalent of blasphemy. The world does not understand that if we would proclaim his name to our own hurt, including death that means we accept everything God has said as ultimate authority. If Christ says marriage is only real between one man and one woman we don’t care if Sodomites proclaim that they were born that wa... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

234. Can America be Great Again without Getting Right Again - Can you spell Naïve? September 12, 2015 When does wishful thinking become dangerous and when does naiveté pose a serious threat to our future. Is it a deep complicated issue to be hashed out in endless debate and heated discourse? Beware - the answer, so plain and right in our face, may be the stumbling block that brings us down with a whimper rather than the war cry of the mighty. If we blithely refuse to dance to the piper will we bravely go on to ignore the trumpet? Here’s the answer in all its simplicity - it cannot be done. We have a clear choice. We are called to the last dance, but we will be dragged to the last tr... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

235. Will Congress Awake before Every Christian in America is Arrested? September 08, 2015 After the arrest of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis the voices of those who see what is happening as a result of Obergefell V. Hodges are sending a cry and a call to action. Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has started a website to support Clerk Davis at FreeKimDavisNow.com The question is why are we waiting until the results of the last seven years of the belligerent gay agenda to take root? It may take years to undo the radical and immoral twisting which is tearing at the fabric of our nation. After something like the arrest of Davis, the internet is buzzing with all the names ...

236. "Make America Great Again" - A Promise Donald Trump Cannot Keep August 27, 2015 “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” – Anon. After entering Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama Friday August 21, 2015 what followed were a personal pronoun fest and the now familiar story of the conversion of a government building to a plush hotel. Trump used the pronouns I, me, and my, about 300 times (give or take) but nothing much new was offered or any different than previous speeches. After bashing China, Mexico, democrats and a good number of republicans the rest of the speech took on the nature of a road to riches rally led by a financial guru who verily promi...

237. Iran's Death to America Turns into an American Victory August 19, 2015 I still remember having held a meeting in the year 1979 with the Iranian revolutionary delegation under the leadership of the present Imam Khamenei in Makkah. They were staying at Emarah Jiffali (the Jiffali building) at Shahrah e Ghazza in Makkah. I was a former and prominent student leader of Pakistan, and had recently joined my job as an Executive Pharmacist at a Saudi friend's retail chain. The Imam Khamenei spoke with me in Urdu instead of English. Though, they were soft spoken, but were hard in their ideological approach. The Shia Muslims brought processions in Makkah and had clashe... (read more) Author: Dr. Gholam Mujtaba

238. Christians, Jewish & Muslims united under the values & virtues of Abrahamic doctrine. August 19, 2015 The American dream of a two state solution living side by side at peace is the only viable solution for a peaceful and flourishing Middle East. The values and virtues of the doctrine of Ibrahim A.S. (Abraham) have to be followed to bring religious harmony amongst civilizations. All terror groups have to be dismantled, and the source of those funding have to be throttled. The three great monotheistic religions are the offshoots of the teachings of Ibrahim A.S. (Abraham), and none of them preach violence, bigotry or intolerance. The verses of the Holy Books are misinterpreted by vested inte... (read more) Author: Dr. Gholam Mujtaba

239. Mr. Trump: A Rolex Watch is Not a Moral Compass August 19, 2015 Obviously, this title is a hook, I have no idea what kind of a watch Donald Trump wears, but I don’t know what kind of moral compass he follows either – does anyone? Mr Trump’s cockiness has brought him to the top of the endless polls as the candidate with the toughest rhetoric against everything the leftists, liberals and lawless bunch think is peachy keen. But, is it anything more than rhetoric? Is there any substance, past record, long standing position, moral perseverance or even believability to anything the Donald says? On closer examination it seems that Trump is a polit... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

240. Why Can't We Get a Good Democratic Candidate for President? August 18, 2015 Why Can’t We Get a Good Democratic Candidate for President? Currently the leading candidates for president in the democratic party are an admitted socialist and a rich, elite lier. The scary thing about it is that there are tens of millions of people in this country supporting them. Is it so important to win that we support candidates that are not about America. Bernie seems to be honest, but his philosophy is un-American and his solutions have no chance of working. Hillary doesn’t have any concern for this country, but for her own power. Why have the democrats become a party that l... (read more) Author: Brian Reck

Four Las Vegas Auto Accidents Leave Three Dead August 17, 2015 Four Las Vegas automobile accidents happened Friday night into Saturday morning that resulted in the death of three people and the death of an unborn child.

Both vehicles in the Las Vegas automobile accident exploded. After the accident, the driver of... (read more) Author: Benson Bingham

242. Six Reasons to Honestly Doubt the Donald - Let's Not Do 2008 Again August 14, 2015 Long before Barack Obama swept into office as a pop-culture icon in 2008 I had serious doubts about his record, his honesty and his intentions about many issues including “gay marriage’ and abortion. I tabled many of my doubts naively believing that the American people would see through his inexperience, dishonesty and hidden motives and leave him behind. How wrong can a man be? I will not make that mistake again. As a writer I will speak up loud and early with my doubts before we repeat the horrible errors of 2008 and 2012. The power of the American people to place their favor... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani

243. Keep Yourself Updated to Level Up Your Upholstery Cleaning Knowledge on Sticky Sauce Stains August 13, 2015 Make sure you blot. Never rub a stain into fabric; it will embed the stain into the material, making it harder to remove. Not easy but you need to try. Blot spills immediately with a clean, white cloth, and then clean the spot as quickly as you can. The more time that elapses, the more difficult it will be to remove stains. Although sauces compliments your fave food, it doesn't enhance upholstery. Eating tomato sauce while lounging on furniture makes upholstery vulnerable to red sauce stains. Tomato sauce permeates upholstery and eventually dries, leaving furniture blemished with crusty, ... (read more) Author: Theresa Flores

244. Killing children for ‘research' or to save the life of another? - The Morality of Jackals August 08, 2015 The Jackal is in the dog family (Canis Aureus) and is a ravenous medium sized canine that scavenges and is capable of eating just about anything. In a “Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide” to one of the latest modernistic video games is a definition for those who call themselves the Jackals. It is like a page taken out of today’s moral scene in the once great United States of America. To wit: “The Jackals are no more than a handful of scarred and tattooed reprobates, scraping out a living by preying on anything weaker than them.” This definition can be transferred to the abo...
