The flood of illegal immigrants
America is being flooded with illegal immigrants. In some parts of the country people only notice a small amount of illegals. However, there are some areas where the flood is massive.

Android Pay?
Has anyone else found the big release of Android Pay to be a big flop? None of my bank cards work with it. I’ve now tried 4 different cards. One of them is from a bank the logo of which is on their supported cards page (and its sad that they only provide a logo…

Charter of Fundamental Rights
Here are some excerpts from the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. I’m picking the ones that are the most critical and most frequently violated (in the United States): Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on…

The out of control oligarchy which controls the “news”
I wrote a little while ago about how the oligarchy operates. The oligarchy controls Big Media in the United States. All of the major networks and their hundreds of affiliate stations are run by them. Almost all major news publications are run by them. They strictly control the “stories” that are in the news, and…
