It's Official: The GOP Has Sold Its Soul To The Devil

One reason why I don't care for Donald Trump is his rhetoric. The man's native tongue seems to be hyperbole. When's the last time you heard a speech or even an individual quote where the president didn't include one of the following words: Biggest, huge (yuuuge), best, greatest, etc.? I can't remember one. Having said that, I'm not going to mince words here. Even though there remains a minority of reasonable, respectable Republicans, in large part the GOP has sold its soul to the devil.

The once highly respectable Republican Party is officially on life support and trending towards death at a rapid pace. While the Democratic Party is anything but perfect, it at least tries to fight for more than just their own wallets. That's no longer the case with the Republican Party. They continually get voted in by the people and wind up representing just themselves. Not only that, but they've taken a stand against: Science, equality across the board (whether it be women; blacks; Muslims, Hispanics; the LGBT community; etc.), facts/truth, preventing gun violence, democracy/voting, education, the lower- and middle-classes, etc.

This moral downward trend came to a head this week when the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee ended its probe on Donald Trump and Russia, as Special Counsel Robert Mueller is showing no signs of closing shop anytime soon. The committee didn't interview: George Papadopolous, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, who have all been indicted, among others. They headed "the memo," which had more holes in it than Swiss cheese at a shooting range. Even Florida Republican Representative Tom Rooney said the House Intel Committee had lost all credibility with the early close of the Russia probe. 

The Republican House has essentially closed a murder case where all signs point to a person being guilty of the alleged crime and where numerous witnesses have yet to be interrogated by the prosecution and defense attorneys, simply to try and prevent the defendant from getting punished for his guilt. The Republican Party has set aside our national security to protect a single member of their party, a man whom enjoys the lowest approval rating of any president at this point in his tenure. The Republican Party has basically flipped the bird to the American people, saying, "Hey, having a Republican potential traitor lead this country is of greater importance than the truth, your safety and well-being, and the principles on which this nation was founded." The GOP no longer cares about you, me, our children, our health and safety, our well-being, etc. All they care about are their own wallets. The party which likes to classify itself as the party of God/Christ has officially sold its soul to the devil and the only way to shake some life into them is to vote them out in November. Hopefully last night's Pennsylvania special election result was just the start...

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
