US Soldiers Coming Home From Iraq

It was nice to hear the US soldiers will be pulling out of Iraq. We have lost enough of our good men and women to a country that doesn't want us there. After a nine year battle with Islam's Extremists, it's time to throw in the towel and let our men and women come home. After visiting Iraq in 2003, my heart goes out to the men and women who have spent years in the country. As you drive around the country you can see the buildings and homes that have been destroyed by war and the dirt stings your eyes from all the bombings. I worry about all the cancers and health problems the soldiers will have once they return home and the PTSS, the soldiers will have to face when they return to their homeland.

The country has lived at war since it's existence and will continue to live at war with one another. Our American Soldiers occupying the country isn't going to change that. War is a way of life for the Iraqi people. The United States can not change what is in the Iraqi peoples hearts and minds and our country is in an economic struggle of it's own and can not afford to continue to pay for the war in Iraq. The United States didn't learn their lesson in Vietnam or Afghanistan. What makes our government think Iraq would be any different? Afghanistan hasn't changed, their political activity is hidden better. Yes, I feel somewhat sorry for some of the Iraqi people who have fallen victims to their political system. But, the United States can't help everyone.

We are in a country that doesn't want us there. As an American visiting the country, you have to disguise you are an American or risk being killed. Sure, a few select Iraqi people want us there, but there are too many that despise our existence in their country and don't want us there. Therefore, it is best to leave them to their own fate. Islamic Jihad is a way of life in Iraq, just as it is in many of the Middle Eastern countries. You can't change a country that has been brain washed by it's religion and culture. It is a waste of time to even try and change their way of life or the way they think.

I wish all the American soldiers and very Merry Christmas and pray for the their safe return to their families. This will be one of the best Christmas's ever to have their loved ones home for the holidays.

The US Air Force Dump Remains In A Landfill

When I read the story about The United States Air Force dumped the ashes and remains of 274 soldiers in the a Virginia landfill, I was totally outraged. How could they do that to American Soldiers who fought for our country and gave their lives for our freedom, not just our freedom their freedom? The Air Force used the Virginia landfill to dump bodies between 2004 and 2008. The Air Force do not plan on notifying the families who's remains lay in a landfill. Of course, they do not plan on notifying the families of their idiotic decision to disrespectfully dump the remains of their loved ones in a landfill.

What is this a third world country we live in now? That sounds like something Saddam Hussein would do and our own American Government dumped remains in a landfill. Your not even allowed to dispose of an animal that way and they did it to the American men and women who served our country. It is completely horrifying to know our own country disposed of honorable military veterans in a landfill.

Woman Says She Had A 13 Year Affair With Cain

Whenever someone is running for President all the skeletons come out of the closet. Cain should have known they would. A woman speaks with CNN about her 13 year affair she had with Cain. What does she have to gain about coming forward with her affair? A whole lot and Cain should have known the affair was going to come out and I am sure he did. But, he is like the rest of the politicians, deny the truth. I am sure after a 13 year affair with Cain, she is bitter when he ended the affair eight months ago when he decided to run for President. It was a 13 year affair, I am sure White had developed deep feelings for Cain. White is single mother who has a trail of financial hardship behind her and my guess is she is looking at this as a way out of her financial hardship. She will get paid to do interviews and I am sure her telephone is ringing off the hook with reporters trying to get the story about the Presidential hopeful;s 13 year affair.

In White's interview with CNN, she showed them phone logs of phone calls and text messages with Cain from the past two years. My problem with women like this is they don't have a problem with wrecking someone Else's marriage and when they come out with their story, they don't stop and think what it will do to his marriage or to his children when the affair comes out. Her sugar daddy dropped her and now she is bitter there will be no more financial assistance and fancy trips from Cain, so she will find another way for the money to come in. Men will never learn that they should never trust a woman who is willing to have an affair with a married man, they have no morals. If they are willing to take a chance on tearing apart a marriage, they will stop at nothing to get what they want and that includes tearing you down publicly if they think they will profit from it.

I never will understand women who have affairs with married men. There are plenty of single men out there they can latch on to. Why pick a married man? If he hasn't left his wife after 13 years, he's not going to. The live in this delusional world, that if they ruin their marriage he will come running to them. When in reality, he is going to be really angry with you for outing them and making their life miserable. The men are to blame just as much as the women who have affairs with married men.

Cain knew he had too many skeletons in his closet to run for President, he should have declined the opportunity to run. But, he had stars in his eyes of being the President of the United States. They all see those stars and think no one will believe the women and they have a big head thinking it won't happen to them. Well, it did. They talked and they will continue to talk to anyone who will listen.

DPD Stage A Sickout Friday

A handful of Detroit Police staged a sickout on Friday in response to Mayor Dave Bing calling for a 10% pay cut. Resources were called in to cover their shifts, the last thing we need is less police on the City of Detroit's streets.  I'm not sure if staging a sickout is the best thing to do when people's lives are in their hands and depends on the police showing up to a call, but it is terrible how the Mayor wants to give them a 10% pay cut. Police officers work very hard and put their lives on the line for very little money as it is. You don't see politicians proposing a pay cut for themselves. Instead of what you see is so many politicians have been ripping off the tax payers and steeling money from them.

The city of Detroit is rated in the "Top Ten Most Dangerous Cities To Live In", Mayor Dave Bing should be cutting into the pay of politicians, instead of city workers which the city so desperately needs. We should be adding police officers, not cutting their pay. After all, they risk their lives everyday to protect and serve us. The politicians fly around in private jets, throwing big parties and living life as though there is no recession. It makes more sense to me to give a 10% pay cut to all city and state politicians. Politicians make more money than city workers and would give more money to the budget. 10% of $100,000 a year is %10,000 per politician or more, whereas most police officers are lucky if they make $40,000 a year, which only comes out to around $4,000 a year per worker. Do the math. Which makes more sense to you. But, then again it comes down to the politicians want to cut everyone elses' pay, but their own pay.

12 Year Old Who Was Impregnated At 11 Testifies In Court Today

A 12 year old girl from Clinton Township, MI testified against 28-year-old Trevaun Cortez Brooks who impregnated her when she was 11 years old. Trevaun Cortez was the boyfriend of her mother. The girl says she didn't know she was pregnant until she went to the hospital to have the baby in August. She testified in court today that Brooks came into her bedroom on three occasions and had sex with her. DNA tests have been done on Brooks and the baby to prove paternity. Brooks also worked as a janitor at the same school the girl attended. Brooks is being charged with felony counts of criminal sexual conduct and is looking at facing life in prison.

Cases like these always amaze me. How does a mother not notice her child's body is changing? Most girls around 11 years old have their periods. She didn't notice her daughter wasn't having periods? I have two daughters and I keep track of their periouds. I feel sorry for the girl she is now 12 years old and has had a child already and molested by her mother's boyfriend.

Kidneys For Sale

An Israeli citizen living in Brooklyn, NY admitted to brokering three illegal kidney transplants for $120,000 each. The FBI caught him when he was trying to organize another black market kidney sale.

“Rosenbaum admitted he was not new to the human kidney business when he was caught brokering what he thought was a black market deal,” U.S. Attorney Fishman said. “A black market in human organs is not only a grave threat to public health, it reserves lifesaving treatment for those who can best afford it at the expense of those who cannot. We will not tolerate such an affront to human dignity.”

It is amazing to me what people will do for money. That's terrible to take advantage of those who are in need of an organ to survive. People are laying on their death beds praying they will get a kidney in time and Rosenbaum and people like him are skipping right over the ones who are next in line and going to the one who has the money to pay them to get a kidney.

When I sit and watch the news or read the news, I am in shock sometimes what this world has come to. Funny thing about so much of what goes on, you don't see some of this stuff on the news and it makes you wonder why. Does our government not want the American people to know what has become of this country? The United States has become a place that has gone crazy. People will do anything for money and the value of life means very little. Now, you hear about all the crazy stuff going on with the Occupy Wall Street, a war hero was severely injured right here in the United States during a protest by a police officer. He survived the war, to come home and be practically killed by the police in his own country. You don't even see our government doing too much to improve the situation. We have become a country were the sex slave trade industry and drug trade has become the most profitable business in the entire United States. The government has lost control of the country. You want to think it can only get better from here, but it only seems to be getting worse from here. This is the world our children our are growing up in, I am scared to think what it will be for them when they reach adulthood and shutter to think what it will be for their children when they have children.

Craigslist Crook

It is not surprising someone else is using CraigsList to rob someone. Craigslist has become a problem on the net. People use CraigsList to rob peoples homes, steel their belongings, murder, to rob people, and let's not forget prostitution. I don't know how CraigsList can still be up and operating at this point with all the bad press CraigsList gets.

A Garden City single mother decided to sell her wedding rings on CraigsList for money. She had to make the choice between saving the rings for her girls when grow up or paying the bills to support her children. She took all the safety measures to ensure her safety during the transaction and the crooks stole the rings right out of her lap.

A lot of people are turning to CraigsList to sell items for quick cash in these poor economic times and things are getting scary. CraigsList is also widely used to seek work. A lot of employers are turning to CraigsList to advertise employment, because they can get a free listing. Where as a lot of job boards are now charging to place ads for employment. It's a scary place out there in this world now. Last summer I applied for a job off of CraigsList like I had many previous times. I went for the interview where the man said it would be and no one knew who the man was and had never heard of him. He even called back with some lame excuse that the employee was new and didn't know who he was  and tried to get me to come back, even though she was standing there with another employee and asked the other employees standing there, if they knew who he was. It is pretty scary, because he knew exactly what I was wearing so he was watching me. Ever since then, I have been very skeptical of anyone off of CraigsList.

A little word of caution, be very very careful seeking employment, selling items or buying items off of CraigsList. You never know what will happen. Trust no one.

Slashing Victim, A Victim Of A Hate Crime

On August 30, 2011 Elree Jones was in a convenient store in Lafayette, IN talking on the phone trying to finalize a few things for the job he had just been hired for as a janitor, when a stranger came up to him and said,“ ‘I’m going to kill this n - - - - -,’ ” Jones, 34, said the man screamed as he chased him out of the Village Pantry with a knife in the early morning hours of Aug. 30. Jones says, “He started cutting me up. He tried to kill me. . . . It was definitely a hate crime. It was racial.”

Jones is a father is three and had been out of work for a year. He was supposed to start his new job a week later. However, the attack has put those plans on hold. Jones received several injuries from his attacker. A stitched-up diagonal scar runs across the right side of his face. He has deep cuts in his right arm from trying to fight off his assailant. The tip of his thumb was severed.

Mark Neal, 50, was charged in the assault after he was identified in store surveillance footage and the police are looking into the crime to see if it can be classified as a hate crime.

Hate Crimes are all around us. Why does it seem like you have to dig for them to find them? I think cities don't want the black eye of hate crimes in their city, so they classify a lot of hate crimes as assault and sweep them under the rug. Therefore, the criminals committing hate crimes are getting off on a lesser charge, because they charge them with assault instead of committing a hate crime.

Teens Brutally Beat And Killed A Man Because He Was Black

Warning: This video contains disturbing images.

Jackson, Mississippi is no stranger to racially motivated crimes. On June 26th, James Craig Anderson became another victim of the White Supremacy Hate Crimes in Jackson, Mississippi. A group of teens were partying and decided to go out and hunt down a black man to beat and kill. They pulled into the first parking lot off of the high way and that is where they found James Anderson. They brutally beat him, shouting racial slurs and White Supremacy. When the teens pulled out, James Anderson had started stumbling along the side of the road and that is where the teens intentionally drove him over killing him.





Deryl Dedmon, Jr., right, could face two life sentences in connection with the killing. John Aaron Rice, left, has been charged with simple assault.

It makes you wander where do these boys get their hatred from. Did they learn the hate from their parents, friends or society? Their parents failed the boys by not teaching them compassion and allowing them to believe they can get away with a heinous crime like the one they committed against James Anderson. I have no compassion or understanding for anyone that is capable of committing a hideous crime like these two boys have committed. Their parents are just as guilty as Deryl Dedmon and John Rice, they raised these boys and fed them the anger and hatred they needed to commit the crime against another human being. Their hatred became the smoking gun in their crime against James Anderson.

Attached is the link where you can read the press release and get information to donate to the James Anderson Foundation For Racial Tolerance. 

The mission of the James Anderson Foundation For Racial Tolerance.

"The mission of the foundation is to promote racial tolerance, unity and understanding particularly in the Jackson, Mississippi metropolitan area, the state of Mississippi and in the United States. Funds raised by the foundation will be used to sponsor seminars, social events, community meetings and other events to encourage a dialogue to promote racial unity, understanding and tolerance."

Muslim Woman Reports Being A Victim Of A Hate Crime

In Ann Arbor MI, a Muslim woman says she was a victim of a hate crime Sunday morning. She was on her way home from training to be a nurse on Sunday morning when a man began honking at her, he pulled up next to her and she rolled down her window, because she realized he was trying to get her attention. That is when he pulled a gun out and began yelling racial slurs at her, she told Fox 2 News he said,

"my people should die" and "how we're terrorists."

The woman, says she contacted the police, got the plate number and the make and model of the car. But, when the police ran the plate number, it didn't come back registered to a car.

The American Islamic Relations report the case to the FBI and the FBI are investigating the case.

Detroit's Womens Clinic Attacked By A Molotov Cocktail

Sometime between July 16th and July 18th, a west side Detroit women's clinic was attacked by a Molotov cocktail. Someone cut a hole in the fence and tossed a Molotov cocktail in the fence near the clinics window. The cocktail, which was made by a juice bottle fizzled out and only damaged the outside of the building. The clinic's administrators says, the protesters protest the clinic every Friday and Saturday. The problem with this is, the protesters assume that everyone woman who walks through their doors are there only to have an abortion. However, the clinic provides health care and prenatal services to women also.

The Summit Women's Center had to install security cameras and replace the window with a block window to protect their patients and staff.

6 Year Old Girl A Victim Of A Hate Crime

In Livonia, MI, a 6 year old Saniya was at the AMC 20 on Sunday when a passing red F-150 truck with a black cover on the bed threw a cup of soda or something at Saniya and hit her in the face as her and her family were walking out of the movie theater after seeing the Smurfs. The men in the truck threw the cup that hit her in the face and were shouting racial slurs and making monkey noises at the little girl and her family. Her parents said, it happened so quickly they didn't even know what had happened until they looked up and saw the men driving away shouting.

They contacted the police and who are looking for a faded red pick up truck with a black bed cover. The truck had two or three men in the truck. Saniya's parents said, they were too stunned to get the description of the men and the plate number of the pick up truck. However, the police are looking at the surveillance videos to see if they can see a description of the men and the plate number of the truck. But, without a good description of the men and the plate number, it is unlikely the police will catch the men who are likely to do it again, because they got away with it.

It is terrible that a 6 year old is a victim of hate crime at the hands of adults. The six year old looked at her mommy and said, "Why did they do that?" Little Saniya was confused and didn't even know what was going on. I am sure she will remember this incident for the rest of her life. You can't blame it on the area, because Livonia is a nice area.

Help Native American Families Living In The State Of Nevada

Change.org|Start an Online Petition »

As most of you know I have designed the website The Comfort Zone to raise awareness and to fight against hate crimes. Too many people turn the other way when brutal hate crimes occur, either thinking "They don't want to get involved" or "What can one person can do?" One person can do a lot. Change happens one person at a time. The idea of change is born one person at a time. Where would the United States be today if all those one persons didn't stand up and fight for all the injustice in the United States? Would voting be open to all races and women? Would the slaves have been freed? They fought for the freedom of their race and gender. Continue the fight they started. It is our God given right to be treated equally. It all began with one person standing up and fighting for their rights and the rights of others. Don't make their fight be in vein. Make a promise to yourself to make a difference one person at a time. The best place to start is with yourself.

 

I am asking that the followers of my site join in a make a difference in the lives of others. Sign the petition above and make a difference in the lives in the Native Americans in the state of Nevada. If you wish to join in on the fight to help Native Americans living in Nevada, sign the petition and you will see the links to tweet the links, post the links on Facebook or to get a copy of the link to post on your sight.

Michigan Antihistamine Laws

Michigan just signed a bill requiring people who buy antihistamines will be registered into a law enforcement data base every time they buy an antihistamine. I don't have a problem showing ID when I buy allergy medicine. Adding people to a law enforcement database is just taking things too far. Our household goes through a lot of allergy medicine. We have three people and the dog who all have seasonal allergies. We buy a lot of allergy medicine every month. I don't want to be questioned by law enforcement about how much allergy medicine we buy. There are bigger fish to fry than how much allergy medicine someone is buying. I know why they are imposing laws on antihistamines, but leave it to the stores to report someone who is attempting to buy an excessive amount of antihistamines. There is a limit on how much you can and you have to show ID when buying certain medicines, it's not stopping anything. The people who are using them to make drugs with most likely aren't buying the medicine, they are probably stealing the medicine, because they can't buy enough of what they need to make drugs with.
More people are injured or killed a year from drinking and driving than any other drug. The funny thing about it is, they don't put as much effort into busting drunk drivers. Drunk drivers scare me, because it is usually the innocent who get hurt from someone else being irresponsible. Investing money to put peoples names in the criminal law database is a waste of money. Keeping a limit on how many you buy and requiring identification is the way to weed out people who were buying cold and allergy medicines to make drugs. Innocent people will probably be the ones questioned, because those who do use them to make drugs will just steal the medicines to keep their names out of the data base.
Why don't they take that money they are going to spend to set up and maintain the data base and give the money to the local law enforcement to bust the real criminals and bump up cracking down on drunk drivers? The government wastes too much time and money on the wrong problems and the problems they do need to crack down on get ignored. It's time for the government to get their priorities straight.

Osama Bin Laden Is Finally Dead

Osama Bin Laden has finally been brought down. U.S. troops killed Bin Laden in a compound in Pakistan last night. Bin Laden could have been killed when Bush was in office, but Bush would never let the troops kill him. Whenever the troops got close to Bin Laden, Bush would tell them to pull out. Bush was thinking about his oil ties with the Bin Laden family, instead of the safety of the United States. Afterall, he flew Bin Laden's family back to Sadia Arabia on a personal jet the night of the 9/11 attack, before the FBI had the opportunity to interview his family. It's about time, they finally killed him. They can now stop wasting American tax dollars trying to continuously track him down.

Now that Bin Laden is gone, I'm sure there is another Al-Qaida leader ready to take his place. A huge terrorists group like Al-Qaida is going to have someone trained to take his place in case something happened to him. I am sure they have been preparing for this moment in time for years.

One of the consequences the U.S. may have to face, is they killed the Al-Quida leader and the burial method the U.S. government used of disposing of his body. Not that Bin Laden deserves the proper Islamic burial, I am sure the Al-Qaida are angry with they way his body was disposed of and may strike back at the United States. The U.S. Government did their best to follow the burial laws of Islam, but I am sure Al-Qaida still will not be pleased or satisfied with anything the United States does. Although they follow the extremist Islamic beliefs, they don't see it as extremist views of Islam. They truly believe that those who do not follow their views are sinners and deserve to be punished. In their eyes, this is a holy war and it is an honor to die in the war for Islam.

This is a great accomplishment for the U.S. Military and U.S. Government and it is a day that will be written in the history books around the world. Finally, justice has been served for the victims of 9/11.

Pastor Terry Jones Holds Protest In Dearborn

Pastor Terry Jones' Holds Protest at Dearborn, Michigan City Hall: MyFoxDETROIT.com

This is a difficult one, it's a grey area that most people just don't know what to do. I don't like what he is preaching, I find the man repulsive. But, did Dearborn step on his Constitutional Rights? I think there needs to be an ordinance put into place prohibiting people or groups from expressing hate. Allow them to hold there meetings or protests without publicly expressing hate. Until there is an ordinance against publicly expressing hate, it makes it a sticky situation trying to prevent people or groups from protesting and expressing hate. But, the people in the crowd were being hypocrites by being there and protesting him speaking when they began throwing shoes and water bottles at the Pastor. If they were going to protest him being there, it should have been done peacefully. I think the city of Dearborn is only adding fuel to the fire. They could have originally said yes, with limitations and used what ordinances they could to prevent the protest from getting too large or to keep him from burning the Koran.  If they allowed him to hold it in the median in front of the Mosque, where he originally wanted to hold the protest. They could of prevented him from starting any fires and then prevented the protest from getting too large, because of the size of the area. They could of simply said, if you start a fire, you will be arrested for starting a fire in a place where fires can not be started. The could have prevented the Media from getting in, because of the size of the area and the traffic. Now, the city of Dearborn is looking at a law suit they can't afford, because the situation wasn't handled correctly without stepping on someone's constitutional rights. If they had let him hold his protest without the press, there would have been less people there and less media attention. All they are doing is making him stronger. The media and city of Dearborn is feeding right out of his hands. All they are doing is giving him the media attention he wants, he knew by coming up here with a high Arab American population, he would make it to the world news. It's called cheap advertisement.

Fliers Spark Controversy At Princeton

At the Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, NJ someone placed up anti-abortion fliers with one that displayed a noose and another with the words "in the new klan lynching is for amateurs." In last November at the University there were fliers with an African American woman up for auction and again in February for Black History month.

A statement from the seminary said it "does not tolerate racial discrimination" and "has policies that both protect freedom of speech and preclude racial harassment of any kind." The problem the students have is, the school is not taking any action over the fliers that has been posted on campus.

Most of the students were shocked and appalled by the fliers. One student said,
"There was a lot of devastation for me, psychological damage, injury, because I saw this as social bullying," student Shirley Thomas said.

Another studend Alex Turpin, said he thought whoever was distributing the literature had a "right to voice their opinions," adding "personally, I wouldn't have done it in that way."
