Sexual harassment allegations are bringing down movie producers, actors and network executives.  Harvey Weinstein should be arrested soon based on the numerous women who have accused him of sexual assault.  Bill Cosby is well into his journey to try to prove his innocence of many allegations of unwanted advances.  I cannot imagine the pain that many women feel at having been used by men in power.  There are no winners when it comes to sexual harassment.  The latest allegations have come against Senate candidate Roy Moore.  They could not have come at a worse time for the Republican party. Former Judge Roy Moore is supposedly a Christian conservative.  I am a Christian and we just seem to be on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to spiritual values.  In fact, I wonder if we are praying to the same Jesus Christ.  There was a painting of Jesus Christ, according to Leonardo da Vinci, that just sold for $450 million.  It is a Europea...

I am shocked at the lengths that some people will go to in order to sell books.  Sacred secrets and behind the scenes agreements are all fair game for an author.  As a political observer I feel that some agreements, especially at the highest levels of the DNC, should remain secret.  The Republicans are in control of government right now.  They do not have much to show for it legislatively but they are trying to lead.  Today, November 7th, is Election Day, and Democrats should be focused on trying to win back a few seats in order to implement our vision.

As a parent, I try to be consistent when it comes to making up my room.  You would not want unexpected company coming to your house and finding out that you live like a slob.  Clean up under your bed and put away things when you can.  Those of us that work for a living sometimes find it hard to do these things.  The reason that I am emphasizing it again is that when you leave your house, it is not a guarantee that you will return.  The ISIS inspired attack in New York City yesterday makes putting your room in order all the more important. Five of the most unfortunate victims of yesterday's attack with a rented Home Deport truck were five friends from Argentina who were celebrating the 30th Anniversary of their graduation from high school.  Who calls their families and tells them that they will be returning in caskets or body bags instead of on their regularly scheduled flights?  A young Mother from Belgium was also among the eight confirmed fatalitie...
