Budweiser | Wind Never Felt Better | 2019 Super Bowl Commercial (click here for the vicious hate by the petroleum industry of alternative energy - thank you)

Budweiser won my heart today. I am proud of a Wall Street company. They love the USA. They are heroes. Thank you.

The USA and its loss of status among nations since 2017 in the field of energy production will be featured next week. It can't be blamed on Budweiser. Thank you for your interest.






Commercial Ads 2019 - Coca Cola - A Coke is a Coke - Super Bowl 2019 (click here for Coke's Diversity and Inclusion Policy - thank you)

Coke took the high road and took a risk in backing diversity in a Superbowl Ad. The employees of Coke should hold their heads higher today knowing their company represents the best of America.

I won't be watching the NFL Superbowl. It holds little interest for me knowing it is rigged. But, I respect those that love the sport and find it at the center of their lives at times.

This is a cute story entitled, "Here's a story about some dogs named, Brady," (click here) in respect for their devotion.






Caution in regard to Venezuela.

Putin was just paid $1 trillion in gold for military coverage of the Maduro. Purin wants to control the petroleum assets of Venezuela and dictate the outcomes for countries that depend on Venezuela's petroleum. Putin wants this one bad. Strength Columbia first and then with gathered intelligence seek a way to end the conflict in Venezuela.

Putin and other allies may seek to export small arms to Maduro supporters. Not everyone receiving small arms with be Maduro supporters so the idea a civil war can break out will be ever present.

The best way to end the conflict in Venezuela is to strengthen the region around it, regardless of country. Stronger borders and control of refugees into reasonable camps will begin the process of Russian containment in the region. Rubio has a strong focus on Columbia, so he will be a strong asset for Columbia and the USA.

This is a near border conflict for the USA and kindly recall Russia has signed an agreement with Cuba, so the threat and the desire by Russia is real.

Entering Venezuela directly is a very bad idea. Too many people will be killed and it could explode into a regional war with every country surrounding Venezuela becoming a Russian asset. There is a good approach that will strength the countries and protect people. It is the worst case scenario that needs to be avoided for the stability of the region. The bloodshed has to come from Russia and not anyone else.

Putin practices brinkmanship and sends unsuccessful Russian mercenaries to test the waters, while his spy planes are shot down accidentally. Putin's conventional weapon warfare lacks expertise. His brinkmanship prevents failure in the field and loss of public support for his regime.

The entire circumstance with Venezuela is unfortunate, but, it does exist. The man that opposes Maduro and wants to lead Venezuela is seen in film footage unafraid to be among the people. He is benevolent and brave.

There is some talk that the Venezuelan Generals are not behind Maduro. That may or may not be the case. If they are loyal to the people, there is a real chance of ending all this mess peaceful. Then Venezuela has grounds to recall the $1 trillion in Russian assets back to the country as it backed an illegitimate dictator. When, not if, the change takes place the economic recovery will be vital to bring refugees home and allow the country to establish a lasting peace with a strong economy.

Caracas ­Venezuela’s embattled president, Nicolás Maduro, (click here) faced challenges on multiple fronts Saturday, as massive anti-government rallies choked the streets, a top general defected and the opposition urged European powers to join the international alliance against him.

The dramatic events underscored the pressures mounting on Maduro. They also suggested the strategies ahead for opposition leader Juan Guaidó — an untested 35-year-old industrial engineer — as he tries to expand Maduro’s global isolation and appeals for the support of more Venezuelans.

Guaidó, who heads the opposition-controlled National Assembly, has won the backing of the United States and a host of other nations since declaring Maduro a usurper and himself interim president.

Across the nation, huge numbers of protesters — possibly hundreds of thousands — took to the streets....

Trump knows he panders to White Supremacists for their vote, so he changes horses in midstream.

Donald Trump is playing into Governor Northam's fantasy of making this all go away. It is not going away. There needs to be an investigation of racism at VMI. Northam needs to resign for no other reason in that he is now crippled as a governor burdened with a scandal.

President Donald Trump in a tweet Saturday (click here) described a picture in which Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam allegedly appears in blackface as “unforgivable.” 

In a medical school yearbook photo that emerged Friday, one man, alleged to be Northam, appears in blackface, while another wears a KKK hood. 

Northam initially admitted to being one of the men in the photo, then on Saturday withdrew his admission, and claimed that allegations he was in the photo were not true.

Trump on Saturday criticized Northam for the conflicting statements, and for recent comments about a Virginia abortion bill that Northam's critics claim defended infanticide. 

“Democrat Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia just stated, “I believe that I am not either of the people in that photo.” This was 24 hours after apologizing for appearing in the picture and after making the most horrible statement on “super” late term abortion. Unforgivable!” tweeted the president....

Trump's pivot into late term abortion is a strategy by Virginia Republicans to change the topics of morality within the Virginia political dialogue. Somehow, late term abortion to save a woman's life is infanticide in the minds of the Virginia Republican Party. That is a sexist statement which nullifies the life of a woman in favor of a fetus. This is once again the twisted idiocy of the Republican dialogue. Somehow find a way to birth a baby while it's mother will die and then grow up without a mother. It is insanity and warped values of human life.

Culpepper - Authorities say a Virginia pregnancy center (click here) has been vandalized days after a debate over late-term abortion in the state capital sparked controversy nationwide.

Police said in a statement that the vandalism reported early Friday at the Pregnancy Center of Culpeper included spray-painted messages on the building and signs and a broken window. Images from the scene show the messages include "YOU HATE WOMEN" and "FAKE."

The center is one of the Pregnancy Centers of Central Virginia. The Christian nonprofit's website says it is "dedicated to women and families facing unplanned pregnancy" and doesn't perform or refer for abortions. President and COO DJ Carter says they haven't experienced vandalism before and he's unsure of the vandal's motivation. The organization is changing its name to Thrive Women's Healthcare....
