The Naked Truth.

Gary Earl Johnson is an American businessman, politician and the Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2016 election. He served as the 29th Governor of New Mexico as a member of the Republican Party. He was also the Libertarian Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election.

Johnson announced his candidacy for president on April 21, 2011, as a Republican, on a libertarian platform emphasizing the United States public debt and a balanced budget in the federal government, protection of civil liberties, military non-interventionism, his advocacy of the FairTax and opposition to the War on Drugs.

 On January 6, 2016, Johnson announced his candidacy for the Libertarian nomination in 2016,^[5] and in May he selected former Republican Governor of Massachusetts William Weld as his running mate. On May 29, 2016, Johnson won the Libertarian nomination on the second ballot with 55.8% of the delegates.

Johnson outlined his non-interventionist foreign policy thinking as well, arguing against military campaigns with "unintended consequences" that make the world "less safe." He also voiced concern about the dozens of treaties "where we are obligated to defend [other countries'] borders, and none of those treaties have been authorized by Congress."

This is only the beginning.  Just a thought.

With about 100 million Americans under heat alerts, the steamy weather is giving the much-maligned pests a reason to spread their wings and fly.

Entomologists and bug experts say conditions are ripe for the domesticated versions of the brown-colored bugs to get active, including taking to the air.

Because of the extreme heat, they may be trying to find a more comfortable place in which to live, like every body else.. That is, they are on the move to find a better, cooler place. High temperature cause insects to use up a lot of energy.

Their development also depends on ambient temperature. So it is conceivable that they are more active in this current, very hot summer. 

If you see some flying, you know the reason.

You’d think things would have gone swimmingly for the all-time Olympic gold medal holder, Michael Phelps. But they didn’t.

Phelps carried the American flag during the opening ceremonies on August 5, 2016. Then he added more gold medals to his impressive lifetime total.

As Phelps told ESPN, following his announced retirement in 2012, he struggled to “figure out who he was outside the pool.” In his words, “I was a train wreck. I was like a time bomb, waiting to go off. I had no self-esteem, no self-worth. There were times where I didn’t want to be here. It was not good. I felt lost.”    He self-medicated or kept it to himself.

In the immediate aftermath of that DUI arrest, he cut himself off from family and other loved ones and “thought the world would just be better off without me . . . I figured that was the best thing to do, just end my life.”

A former All Pro linebacker Ray Lewis, whom Phelps considers a kind of “older brother.” Seeing the hopelessness and despair in his young friend, Lewis, an outspoken Christian, told him, “This is when we fight . . . This is when real character shows up. Don’t shut down.

Lewis convinced Phelps to enter rehab and gave him a book to read while he was there: “The Purpose-Driven Life” by Rick Warren.

The book changed Phelps’ life. Within a few days, Phelps called Lewis an told him, man. "You saved my life.’”  The book convinced Phelps to reconcile with his father from whom he had been estranged for more than two decades. Upon seeing each other, they embraced.

Michael Phelps’ story is a reminder that no matter how big a mess your life may be, and no matter how dim the last embers of hope may glow, God is still there.  Just a thought. 

Gone wrong??

WikiLeaks, the controversial transparency organization that publishes classified government documents and other confidential materials, is fueling Internet conspiracy theories by offering a $20,000 reward for information on a Democratic National Committee staffer who was killed last month.

Seth Rich, a 27-year-old data analyst at the DNC, was shot and killed early one Sunday morning in what police say was robbery gone wrong. He was killed while walking home in a Washington, D.C. neighborhood that has seen a recent uptick in crime.

Rich's murder quickly became a fascination of right-wing conspiracy theorists, including longtime informal Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone, who told NBC News that he has been in contact with WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange.

Asked about the reward, WikiLeaks said in a statement, "We treat threats toward any suspected source of WikiLeaks with extreme gravity. This should not be taken to imply that Seth Rich was a source to WikiLeaks or to imply that his murder is connected to our publication.

Looking for more information.  Just a thought.

Vote down...

Hillary Clinton accused Donald of casually inciting violence.
"Yesterday, we witnessed the latest in a long line of casual comments from Donald Trump that crossed the line," she said, . ..... [NBCNEWS]

In the mean time, Hillary avoided telling what is she planning to do for the Country other than Tax and Spend. She carefully non specific.

Judgement on foreign affairs is the major problem for Hillary, not her best suit.
It started with the private server, then deleting emails, Benghazi, getting USA involved in Syria, Egypt and Libya. The irresistible desire to invade other poor countries and turn it to ruins.

The outcome is shamefull, to put the people of Syria in this misery for so long. To put Syria back to what it was may take 100 years if ever.

If Obama care to continue.... what improvement  will Hillary do to it. Medications fake prices can't be stopped? Middling in the middle east Countries as happened during her Secretary of State, brought terrible outcome to the world.

Keep ignoring, Tax reform, Economics, Jobs creation, Immigration, Border control, Healthcare, and Medication prices for seniors, and US citizens may vote you down. Just a thought.

Never to Hate....

Mary Knowlton and Her Husband.

Mary Knowlton, a retired librarian from Minnesota and a married mother of two grown sons, had signed up for a course [citizen police academy drill]  after two recent break-ins in her neighborhood.
She also was trying to show support for police officers after the recent deadly attacks on police in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The Florida retiree was fatally shot during a citizen police academy drill while playing the part of an intruder, her son said. She was struck by a live round while almost three dozen other participants looked on, police said.

Mary Knowlton's son  told NBC News that he forgives the officer who fired the fatal shot that killed his mom at the Police Department event.  "My mom taught us never to hate," Steve Knowlton said. "I can't harbor hate."

Adam Knowlton said he was supposed to celebrate his 50th birthday with his parents and his dad was "hysterical" when he was told the news.

Punta Gorda's city manager expressed condolences Wednesday.
"We are shocked by this horrific accident and are grieving deeply over Mary's passing," Howard Kunik said. "We also would like to acknowledge the impact this has had on the other participants who were present during this tragedy."

How sad is that, the mother who died, and the officer who lives with that for the rest of his life.

Glenn Beck must reveal who told him a Saudi Arabian student was the “money man” behind the Boston Marathon bombing, a judge ruled Tuesday.  The right-wing commentator is fighting a defamation lawsuit filed by Abdulrahman Alharbi, who was injured in the April 15, 2013, attack that killed three people.  Beck continued to link the Saudi national to the attacks even after U.S. officials said publicly he'd been cleared.

U.S. District Court Judge Patti Saris ordered Beck and his producer to reveal the names of two Department of Homeland Security employees they said had linked Alharbi to the attack, Politico reported. Beck said in earlier depositions that he never spoke to the sources, and his producer said he wrote down quotes on Post-it notes that he threw away, according to the ruling.

The producer “testified that the sources did not explain when the alleged financing took place, how any funds were transferred, the amounts of financing, what the financing was used for, or how the financing was otherwise accomplished,” the ruling said.

Saris ruled Alharbi need only prove negligence by Beck in appearances on Fox News and his news website The Blaze. She rejected contentions by lawyers for Beck that Alharbi was a public figure at the time Beck made his comments.
