Who can ever forget the hubris of Hillary Clinton, as she sat before the world and spat out in exasperation, “ ..What difference at this point does it make?!” That moment was enough for us all to understand that the four Americans who died in Benghazi, as well as those who survived, were now just a nuisance in the eyes of the government. Or at least, in the eyes of the people holding power in the government. None of the survivors expected a parade or medals, but they certainly deserved both. And...

It takes intentional action to disrupt stress and depression. Certainly, it is easier and quicker to become deeply stressed and depressed than it is to climb out of those slumps. And today it seems as if unless we forcibly block out social media, "news" outlets and even a lot of entertainment, we are constantly swimming upstream against a relentless wave of fear, anger and struggle being sent downstream on a regular basis. This is what makes people like Bobby Sausalito so special. You may know B...

There's a lot of nostalgia in America right now. At least, for those of us who still remember what it was like when individuality was admired, patriotism united us, freedom of speech and religion were real things, parents held dominion over their child's medical, emotional, mental, and sexual education, and Americans felt at least an illusion of security within our borders - among other things. We also miss the days when Hollywood stayed in its lane, serving to entertain us rather than shame us ...
