Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL May 15, 2015

Myrtle Beach, SC Correspondent-Yes, fans care about cheating, but only if it’s not their team, or even more so if it’s “their” team’s rival. If it’s their team doing the cheating, then no. Take the most recent example, “deflategate.”  I have friends (Patriots fans) who are labeling people “haters” for even questioning Tom Brady in this.

Nope, all they care about is that their team won the game, and everyone questioning the win are “haters”.

Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL May 8, 2015 

Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent– Rioting, or uprisings, as some pundits call them, are out of control, and tougher responses are needed to constrain the elements of society who take rioting in the streets as a full or part time occupation.  Whether rioting involves knee-jerk reactions to unresolved crimes, court case outcomes, labor union disputes, sporting event incidents, or politically and racially motivated agendas, any uncontrolled acts of mayhem and violence must not be tolerated or permitted to continue without some type of lawful intervention.

Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL April 9, 2015 

Raleigh, NC Correspondent-One of the biggest news of the last few weeks was the proposed implementation of a nuclear deal with Iran.  In 2002, some Iranian dissident groups alerted international community that Iran was secretly developing nuclear program. Although Iranian authorities insisted that the program was intended for peaceful purposes, there were well-grounded suspicions that the country was and is on its way to build military nuclear capacities.

Less than 9% of top management positions are held by women across the entire economy. In technology, where these promotions have been most public, women still lag far behind men in rates of promotion. Women hold only 9% of senior management or higher positions. Continue reading →

Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL, March 26, 2015

Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent-Donald Trump has toyed with and dabbled in presidential
politics over the years and more recently with the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, but he failed to follow through with the run and bowed out in the spring of 2011.  He did at one point have a lead in polling ahead of Mitt Romney before the Republican primaries but after he left the race altogether, his influence was limited.  Now, in 2015, he is talking again about making a bid for the nomination with fewer excuses than he previously made.  Continue reading →

~ thinkingoutsidetheboxe ~ Leave a comment

Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL, March 23, 2015

Asheville, NC Correspondent- The Common Core standards began from a place of serious concern. Wide disparities between states in educational achievement are a grave problem of national scope.

Children who move with parents may find themselves ahead in some subjects, behind in others, and confused about terminology that’s vital to their education. Continue reading →

Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL, February 27, 2015

Asheville, NC Correspondent-In 1900, the three leading causes of death in America were pneumonia, tuberculosis, and gastrointestinal infection. Today, these diseases don’t even crack the top ten. The reason for this advancement? Perhaps the greatest invention in history: antibiotics.
