Dear Americans,
Election day is nearly upon us, and the current political race has done well to show us a little about ourselves as a nation, a society, and as individuals. Over the past several decades, politics, and society, have grown increasingly partisan. Red vs. Blue, Conservatives vs. Liberals, Americans vs. Immigrants, Christians vs. Muslims…”Us” vs. “Them”.
We’ve witnessed our government shut down because one side refused to reach across the aisle. We’ve witnessed name calling, mudslinging, and demonizing throughout this election. But, politicians, elections, and governments are merely a reflection of their citizens. There is no “one party” that is to blame for the state of things. It is a collective choice based on the individuals casting the votes, and the society...

Dear Lego.
I love Lego. My 6 year old son loves Lego. He inherited all of mine three years ago and his collection has multiplied many times since. We spend time going to Brickies, our local Lego club. All he wants for Christmas is Lego, and we're even taking him to Windsor for a stay in the Lego hotel at Christmas.
It seems you can do no wrong.
But I'm concerned. For a few years now you have done free giveaways in the Daily Mail newspaper. And while holding back that wretching feeling, I've paid for a copy to get the free Lego pack. (And then promptly binned the paper) The poly bag packs usually end up as part of my sons advent calendar. Which he loves. But I'm afraid to say I can no longer do it.
While I disagree with their political stand I can accept their right to have it...

To all the people who put us in the position of having Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton be the primary Presidential Candidates,
It is with deep pain and sadness that I write this. I just mailed off my ballot, I voted on everything but the presidential candidate. I take my right to vote very seriously. I grew up as an American citizen in Taiwan during a very difficult time and saw people, bribed, beaten, tortured and threatened based on their vote, so I know how privileged I am to vote without worry of repercussions from others. I promised myself that if I did not vote in the Presidential section as a stance of solidarity against the injustice that this election has become, then I would at least be heard by my representatives.
I am very proud of the changes...

Dear Jill and Supporters,
I hear you - you want so many wonderful changes, changes that I want to see, too. You are angry at the status quo, upset about the inequality and all of the “isms” and feel that radical change is needed. I understand and I agree. Like you, I want climate action, racial justice, criminal justice, a fair economic system and major reform to the political system and government as a whole.
At this hour, Jill - amazing public servant that you are - you are still polling at best at 3%. I believe the time has come for you to demonstrate your true dedication to America, to democracy and to planet Earth. Please, please, step down from the 2016 Presidential race and place your full support behind Hillary Clinton.
You have proudly served your cause and your...

I do not confirm or deny that I work for any law enforcement or intelligence agency. However, I have intimate knowledge of the ongoing investigation(s) into what exactly was discovered at Anthony Weiner’s residence and the subsequent investigations that followed.
First, people must understand, the Clinton Foundation investigation and the probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server are two separate case files but they overlap, frequently.
To address her use of a private server, the investigation only pertained to whether classified information was transmitted, stored or archived. The FBI determined, internally, that all...

For the first time in American history the U.S. Government has five different ongoing FBI investigations of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has been endorsed by Neocons and 12 different billionaires including the Koch Brothers, George Soros, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc. Even Paul Wolfowitz and George Bush Sr, a lifelong Republican and former CIA Director has endorsed her. Hmmm...
But even more suspicious are the voting machines being used in the upcoming election manufactured by Dominion and Diebold, both of which have been linked to numerous election frauds all over the world. Recent revelations by CBS News, DNC emails obtained by Wikileaks, and a brilliant Computer Science geek in Memphis, named Bennie Smith prove beyond any doubt that it is VERY EASY to program...

Dear America,
The land of the free and a bastion of hope for over two hundred and fifty years. Not a perfect union but a perfect representation of the hope for a perfect union. Leader of modern democracy, knight to the rescue in two world wars and the perennial ‘greatest nation on earth’.
You, and the world, are at a crossroads.
Democracy is a comparative infant in the human race’s quest for a world that at its best could be a free, equal and plentiful planet for all to dwell in peace on. The reality is different but the quest should always continue. America has been the model that many countries have wanted to follow and base themselves on because of the quest, the pursuit of the dream and the belief in better.
Democracy allows everyone to dwell within one ‘tent’....

Carrying the Weight of a Second Trimester Termination for Medical Reasons
(An Open Letter to your so- called "Pro-Life" friends)
I'm sharing my story in light of recent politicized discussions about late term abortions and consequently the social media frenzy that followed. I simply can no longer sit back and watch women and families be ridiculed and vilified for making the choice to terminate a pregnancy, especially after going through the most heartbreaking loss they will ever face. If you think this story can reach anyone on this issue – please read and share.
A few days before New Years Eve last year, I was ecstatic to see the pregnancy test was positive. I couldn't wait to show my husband as soon as he walked through the door. We were overjoyed...

To the honest FBI agents still remaining at the FBI and members of the House and Senate...
You all know the score. You all know you have been derelict in your jobs, asleep at the switch, or deliberately turned a blind eye to win favor with superiors, or return one. I was also asked to do the same when I worked 5 years in federal law enforcment. First I protested, and then I was black-balled, and then I resigned. At least I am alive. Some of my colleagues were not so lucky. One was murdered, one committed suicide, and one was shot five time and left for dead. When he lived he was paid a few million dollars to sign a gag order. His name is Jurgen Schmidt and he lives in a wheelchair in Hollywood, Florida if you doubt my words.
But that is ancient history. Today we have even bigger...
