Move on guys. Nothing is new here. Russia didn't meddle in our election. We just ......   Hillary. She middled in every country she could, with death to hundred of thousands of people.

Look for something to do to improve the lives of the American Citizens. Skip settling scores.

Mother's Day.

To all the mothers in my extended family, hope you all have the happiest day ever. Seeing all your children up and running doing their things successfully make us all appreciate mothers contribution.

Happy Mother's day also to all  those who helped and assisted in caring for children of other family members. Many have participated.

You don't have to have your own to be a fabulous mother. Mother Teresa and Lillian Thrasher are our life long examples.

* Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said Hillary Clinton was a major influence in the decision to go to war. Gates recounted Obama once telling him a debate in the Oval Office on the issue was split “51-49.”
“I’ve always thought that Hillary’s support for the broader mission in Libya put the president on the 51 side of the line for a more aggressive approach,” Gates said.

Gates urged for the opposite, he told the newspaper, telling Obama and others that the Pentagon already had enough on their plate.

Can I finish the two wars I’m already in before you guys go looking for a third one?” Gates recalled saying.   Just a thought.

Mediterranean-Diet

In his book, "The Blue Zones Solution," Dan Buettner examines the diets that have sustained some of the oldest living humans over the last century in Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Loma Linda, California; Icaria, Greece; and the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica.

 "First of all they're eating mostly a plant-based diet  about 90 percent. It's also a high-carb diet, about 65 percent of their caloric intake are things like whole grains, corn, sweet potatoes in Okinawa, and beans are the cornerstone of every longevity diet in the world.  The big epiphany in these Blue Zones is that longevity wasn't something individuals pursued. It was the outgrowth of having the right environment."

In Sardinia, olive oil and wild greens are eaten abundance. In Okinawans rely on tofu and sweet potatoes for high nutrition. People on the Nicoya Peninsula eat plenty of squash and yams. And in Loma Linda, centenarians tend to avoid processed foods and eat lots of salmon and oatmeal.

In Icaria, Greece, age-related dementia is nearly nonexistent. Buettner attributes that phenomenon to eating a Mediterranean-style diet and drinking certain teas rosemary, sage and mint on a daily basis. 

Daily physical activity, a sense of purpose, slower pace of life and strong family bonds all contribute. "Having a strong sense of purpose is worth eight extra years of life expectancy. Having a social group with at least five friends you can count on a bad day is worth about seven years of life expectancy.    Just a thought.

Conscience...

The cost of war is destruction of a generation. Millions lost their country, hundred of thousands died, and twice as much is injured. No one with conscience accept that.
