The Cold Hard Truth
You Don't know who I am
But I know all about you
I've come to talk to you tonight
About the things I've seen you do.
But I know all about you
I've come to talk to you tonight
About the things I've seen you do.
I've come to set the record straight
I've come to shine the light on you
Let me introduce myself
I'm the cold hard truth.
I've come to shine the light on you
Let me introduce myself
I'm the cold hard truth.
There is a woman we both know
I think you know the one I mean
She gave her heart and soul to you
You gave her only broken dreams
I think you know the one I mean
She gave her heart and soul to you
You gave her only broken dreams
You say your not the one to blame
For all the heartaches she's been through
I say you're nothing but a liar
And I'm the cold hard truth.
For all the heartaches she's been through
I say you're nothing but a liar
And I'm the cold hard truth.
All your life that's how it's been
Lookin' out for number one
Takin' more than you give
Movin' on when you're done.
Lookin' out for number one
Takin' more than you give
Movin' on when you're done.
With her, you could have had it all
A family and love to last
If you had any sense at all
You'd go and beg her to come back.
A family and love to last
If you had any sense at all
You'd go and beg her to come back.

You think that you're a real man
But you're nothing but a fool
The way you run away from love
The way you try to play it cool
But you're nothing but a fool
The way you run away from love

'm gonna say this just one time
Time is running out on you
You best remember me my friend
I am the cold hard truth.

You best remember me my friend
I am the cold hard truth.
You best remember me my friend
I am the cold hard truth...

Repeating History Warning Signs
It seems to me we are starting to love the Hoover and Coolidge years in where the Republicans want to cut the social programs of the country and give the billionaire or CEO raises so they can buy back shares and widen the gap and in that process control the populous as a whole. History is repeating itself. Blown up the stock market, crash, depression, New Deal, fixing society as a whole, becoming isolated through keep up with domestic agendas and staying out of foreign affairs. In all this process, church, prohibition, then mob and gang profiteering, then WW3 with Nucs. When will we learn!

Marijuana Gold Rush
he explosive growth of the marijuana market will be a huge catalyst for the SMG stock price. According to New Frontier Data’s 2017 Cannabis Industry Annual Report, medical marijuana sales are expected to soar from $4.7 billion last year to $13.3 billion by 2020. The cannabis industry is also expected to create more than 250,000 jobs in the next three years – more than utilities, manufacturing, or even government jobs.
A recent Yahoo Finance survey of analysts shows shares of Scotts Miracle-Gro could rise to $107 in the next 12 months. That would be a return of 7.2% from the today’s price of $99.81.
While that may not be a huge profit, SMG stock more than makes up for it with a yield of 2.12% and quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share. The firm’s dividend has increased every year since 2013, rising 20.5% from $0.44 to $0.53.

Huge Dam to be Built in Ethiopia Nile Cutting Water Supply From Egypt
The latest threat is a massive dam scheduled to be completed this year on the headwaters of the Blue Nile, which supplies 59 percent of Egypt’s water. Ethiopia’s national government has largely self-financed the $5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), with the promise that it will generate 6,000 megawatts of power. That’s a big deal for Ethiopians, three-quarters of whom now lack access to electricity. The sale of excess electricity to other countries in the region could also bring in $1 billion a year in badly needed foreign exchange revenue.
The dam will create a reservoir more than twice the size of the Hoover Dam’s Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States. It will ultimately store 74 billion cubic meters of Blue Nile water. (That’s about 64 million acre-feet, or the amount of water need to cover 100,000 square miles of land one foot deep.) Filling it could take anywhere from five to 15 years.
“During this period of fill,” a new study in the Geological Society of America’s journal GSA Today reports, “the Nile’s freshwater flow to Egypt may be cut by 25 percent, with a loss of a third of the electricity generated by the Aswan High Dam.” That is, of course, Egypt’s own massive dam on the Nile, completed in 1965, roughly 1,500 miles downstream. The GSA study, led by Smithsonian Institution geologist Jean-Daniel Stanley, says Egypt faces “serious country-wide freshwater and energy shortage by 2025.” Agriculture in the delta, which produces up to 60 percent of Egypt’s food, could also suffer from shortages of irrigation water.
Iraqi Army Chopper Crashes Killing 7
An army helicopter has crashed in central Iraq, killing all the seven military personnel on board.
A statement by Iraq’s Defense Ministry said the Russian-made Mi-17 utility helicopter crashed in the early hours of Sunday during a training exercise in the central Wasit Province, presstv.com reported.
The statement added that the cause of the accident was not immediately known.
Iraqi air force officers were separately quoted by Reuters as saying that two pilots and five army officers had been on board the army helicopter and had been killed in the incident.
They cited technical malfunction as the cause of the crash.
Iraqi army helicopters have played an effective role in the fight against Daesh, supporting forces on the ground in their push to drive the Takfiri terrorist group out of occupied Iraqi territory.
Confusion and Soul Transition
Embrace your confusion. It is a sign your soul is in transition. Be open to change, think free, free spirit. Live life one day at a time in your journey, learn, self-develop, shed off what toxifies your life, people too. Embrace what makes you feel good, despite what others say, they are part of your lesson to know who and what to avoid in the future. Let go with no guilt.
AI, IT, Parents, Religion, Friend, Schools
AI and IT in finding answers in life will become more important than parents, churches, your friend's advice, your studies. You have to find the answers to this new future endeavor. But being married, being religious, being headstrong will not help you in the future. Being open-minded, not letting anyone step on your freedoms of thought, freedom of your independent spirit, your journey. You must change quickly with the times and adjust to future situations and shed that which holds you from what you deserve as an individual;

Philippino Drug War, Trump's Endorsement of the Policy, Why?
More than 3,900 Filipinos have been killed in a war on drugs that Duterte declared when he took office last year. His government says the police act in self defence, but critics say executions are taking place with no accountability.
But Trump, who has been criticized at home for neglecting rights issues in dealings abroad, praised Duterte in May for doing an “unbelievable job on the drug problem”. Why would Trump praise this policy.

WW3, North Korea, Middle East, Russia, China, USA and the South China Sea Provocations
The 28,500 US Armed Forces personnel in South Korea are vastly outnumbered by North Korean forces, as well as ROK forces that will conduct the overwhelming majority of the fighting. Unlike every conflict since the last Korean War, we will not be able to build up our forces prior to the start of hostilities. US reinforcements will take days to months to arrive in theater, as will supplies and equipment. When they do arrive, they may well find their bases subject to attack by conventional or chemical weapons, which will further delay their entry into the war.
US leadership, airpower, counterfire, and ISR are critical to the initial stages of the conflict, particularly in the defense of Seoul, the political, economic, and cultural center of South Korea that is home to 25 million people, half the nation’s population. Unfortunately, North Korean artillery, rockets, and missiles that threaten the capital will take days to eliminate, even under ideal conditions. During that time an enormous casualty and evacuee crisis will develop and include over a hundred thousand non-combatant Americans, many of who will turn to US forces to get off the peninsula.
The defense of South Korea and evacuation of US citizens will be significantly complicated by the expected North Korean use of chemical munitions and potential employment of nuclear weapons. Asymmetric North Korean capabilities will also pose severe challenges, including cyber attacks against US-ROK command and control nodes. North Korean Special Forces, among the largest in the world, will create a second front in the rear. The North Korean submarine force, although technically inferior, is also among the world’s largest and capable of sinking allied vessels, sowing mines, and inserting Special Forces units.
US ISR capabilities that are critical to finding targets will be limited by hardened and concealed North Korean underground facilities, the lack of omnipresent overhead imagery satellites, mobile North Korean weapon systems that can rapidly relocate (including the KN-08 and KN-14 ICBMs), and terrain. Much of North Korea is mountainous, which limits distant visual reconnaissance by airborne platforms. Furthermore, a non-permissive air environment will drastically curtail the use of unmanned aerial vehicles that are ubiquitous in other theaters. ISR limitations, coupled with North Korean abilities to move, hide, or deeply shelter their assets, will significantly degrade our ability to find, fix, and finish many high priority targets at the onset of conflict. As such, it is very unlikely that a limited attack by the US would completely eliminate North Korea’s nuclear capabilities.
This is not to include a chain reaction war with China and Russia vs Japan, USA, and South Korean forces. In the Middle East after the Trump visit, we find Saudi Arabia now declaring a possible war on Hezbollah and Lebanon. Syria is not over, there are the Russians to attend to and us backing the rebel forces there, Turkey and a war with the Kurds is possible too, but what side would we pick there, Serious war could break out between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
USA, Isreal, Jordan, Syrian rebels, Kurds, Saudi Arabia, UAR vs Yemen, Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Lebanon, possibility Qatar, Turkey. NATO would get involved,
Ukraine: NATO, USA, EU, and Ukraine vs Russia.
China and the South China Sea?
A domino effect of a world war with an unstable president with nuclear weapons. If diplomacy is to work, the congress and senate must tie his hand. I think this is being seen now and is happening and the sooner and better in 2018.

The Gap, Poor and Rich, the Extremism, Nationalism and Fanaticism
Is it not strange that when in the world the gap between the rich and poor, the more extreme and nationalistic it get, left and right. Does not matter, it is a constant pendulum. It will balance in the end again because the world is a market and constant change in history we do not want to repeat.
Sinni-Shiite Proxy Wars, Oil, Military Complex, Christianity, WW3, Regional War Buildup in the Middle East
This has them making for a regional war between the Sunnis and the Shiites. It will drive up oil prices and bring the US to fill the void of the lost oil through fracking. We must keep in mind that the Russians have airbases in Iran and Syria. The US is in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan. The whole region has become a hotbed ever since Trump's visit. Big oil+Trump's visit+New Saudi King=WW3, high oil prices for big oil, military complex profit, and a reason for Christian mercenaries to infiltrate Islamic culture. I do like the idea of opening up the Islamic society to bring forth openess and information flow without censorship in which in the old ways of the kingdom. Zuckerberg brings home the idea of a worldwide open society through all people being connected to the internet, He is thinking of running for president, we need to replace the one we got who does not understand globalization and wants to take us back to the of fake preachers, fake wrestling, and the mob culture.

The Big Tax Scam
The House Ways and Means Committee advanced the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act yesterday, sending it to the House floor for consideration next week. But despite its promising title, the bill is nothing more than a vehicle for Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to ram through massive tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and corporations at the expense of real tax reform and support for the working families that need it most. Senate Republicans unveiled their own tax reform legislation yesterday, which the Senate Finance Committee will begin considering on Monday at 3 p.m. ET.
The taxes cut will be $1.7T. How? By cutting your Medicare and Medicaid. $1.6T. Thank the Trump voters when you see them.

EPA Director Appoints and Replaces Science Panels Evilanglistic Dark Ages
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The head of the Environmental Protection Agency has named a slate of new members to federal science advisory boards, including several who work for chemical and fossil-fuel interests.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt announced his appointments Friday, after saying he would block scientists who receive federal research grants from serving. That change ruled out many highly qualified experts from colleges and universities, who the EPA chief said had potential conflicts of interest.
Instead, Pruitt's new list features members who are more likely to reflect industry-friendly views. They include executives and scientists working for electricity companies, pharmaceutical companies, a chemical industry trade group, a pesticide manufacturer and the oil industry. The list includes several college professors and environmental regulators from conservative-leaning states.
A Republican lawyer, Pruitt said his goal is to introduce more diverse viewpoints and backgrounds among those on the 22 boards, which advise EPA on a wide range of issues including drinking water standards and air pollution limits.
Pruitt named Paul Gilman as the new chair of EPA's Board of Scientific Counselors. Gilman is a former EPA official who now works as a senior vice president at Covanta, a company that operates plants that generate electricity by incinerating waste.
Gilman replaces Deborah Swackhamer, a retired professor who taught environmental health sciences at the University of Minnesota. She said she was not informed of the change by EPA, but learned about it through media reports.
"All of this is so very unusual, and will really hurt scientific integrity at EPA," said Swackhamer, who does not benefit from government grants and will remain a member of the panel until her term expires. "Only penalizing academic researchers will result in a very biased board."

Cost of the War of Terror and the Wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, Almost $5 trillion
Wars cost money before, during and after they occur — as governments prepare for,
wage, and recover from them by replacing equipment, caring for the wounded and repairing
the infrastructure destroyed in the fighting. Although it is rare to have a precise accounting of
the costs of war — especially of long wars — one can get a sense of the rough scale of the costs
by surveying the major categories of spending.
As of August 2016, the US has already appropriated, spent, or taken on
obligations to spend more than $3.6 trillion in current dollars on the wars in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria and on Homeland Security (2001 through fiscal year
2016). To this total should be added the approximately $65 billion in dedicated war
spending the Department of Defense and State Department have requested for the next
fiscal year, 2017, along with an additional nearly $32 billion requested for the
Department of Homeland Security in 2017, and estimated spending on veterans in
future years. When those are included, the total US budgetary cost of the wars reaches
$4.79 trillion.
But of course, a full accounting of any war's burdens cannot be placed in columns on a
ledger. From the civilians harmed or displaced by violence, to the soldiers killed and
wounded, to the children who play years later on roads and fields sown with improvised
explosive devices and cluster bombs, no set of numbers can convey the human toll of the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan, or how they have spilled into the neighboring states of Syria and
Pakistan, and come home to the US and its allies in the form of wounded veterans.
Republicans Tax Offer, Cut Medicare and Medicaid, Pell Grants, 90% in 401K Contributions, Mortgage Interest Reduction, etc
Republicans say economic ‘growth’ will pay for the tax cuts, so there’s no need to cut social programs like Medicare and Medicaid,” Reich said. “But Republicans have just passed a budget that would cut nearly $1.5 trillion from Medicare and Medicaid to pay for these tax cuts. Pell grants, housing assistance and even cancer research are also on the chopping block.”
So the Republicans are RAISING MIDDLE CLASS TAXES. Let me count the ways MY Taxes are GOING UP:
401k deduction - cut 90%
Mortgage interest deduct - GONE or significantly reduced.
State/fed tax deduction -GONE
Pushed into Higher tax bracket.
Commentary: Republicans want to cut Medicare, reducing the chances of those who worked toward retirement and in their old age, the goal, same as budget cuts, no care for the elderly, better chance of them dying off. Take medicaid from the poor, the same, reduce their chance of making a comeback or a restart, and reduce the population. The Republicans talk of agenda 21, what is this? Is this their agenda 21?
$2.2T, have been spent on the War on Terror and the wars in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. Cut some of that down!
Young people you Pell Grants will be cut. People working towards a retirement, your 401K max contribution amount will got from $18,500 to $2,450 so here you are taxed again. It does not figure out and only thing the Republicans can say is it will put $4,000 more in your wallet or purse. They have already taken it out, Do the math people.
