Well I opened up my email today, and low and behold there it was, yet another email talking about the battle at the border, and the problems that we are going to create for ourselves, if we decide that we want to go through with the North American Union. The pictures below are of the money and guns, that the border patrol seized from a trucker’s, trailer.
The amount of money is incredible, and if you notice most of it is American dollars, very little is foreign currency. Our society is not going to benefit at all from the opening of border’s with the amount of drugs that the drug lord’s, and drug dealers are trafficking daily. We need to take a step back and re think our current situation, and then put into account how immensely things will change if we allow other nations through with no notice.




I for one am always thinking about how this is going to change life as we know it, is it going to be better? how is it going to affect our kids down the road? what benefits are we gaining? the list goes on and on. Just today I found an article in a local newspaper, about $185,000 seized, at a local home, with multiple pounds of marijuana as well. Another home was raided, and drugs and money were found there as well.
The whole reason behind this post is just to make people more aware of the situation at hand, and that we need to be thinking about our future and the future of our nation, and children. So many things can come into play with the big decisions that are being made in congress. Our nation is so incredible, and so fragile that we need to make sure that we are fighting for our freedom, and keeping the freedoms in our best interest.

I just wanted to speak my mind a little, about the events on the road to the election. Monday night at Myrtle Beach really showed me that the democrats are scared of the republicans. Hillary and Barack, were going back and forth about how they are the best person to go up against, a John McCain. Hillary says that she is clearly winning in all the poles, and Barack says that sources say that he is winning all the poles, and back and forth, and just criticizing until some one lashes out at another. The one who lashed out ended up being Bill the following day, but that is a entirely different matter.
Hillary just seems so wavering on here issues on foreign policy and clearly doesn’t have one, because whenever that question is brought up she some how changes the subject, and just states that her standing on the issue, is better then the other candidates but never says what it is. Myrtle beach was an interesting debate to listen to, to really gain an understanding about Hillary, and Obama in the democrat race. From what I saw Edwards won that night, because he is the only one that kept calm, and didn’t try to get into the middle of mud pit.
Hilary goes back and forth on her word as well, one minute she is one thing and then the next she is different depending on what the debate is, or how the topic changes. They were talking about corporate lobbyists, and that Barack will not have them in the white house “How about you Hillary?” “Well, I’m going to have those persons in the white house that are best fit to lead this country to what it deserves” and then it seemed like not even ten minutes later, she is saying that she won’t have them in there, and then she will… she does not have a direct answer for anything that she is debating.
This whole subject is a little crazy to dabble in, but I just can’t believe some of the things that are brought out in political debates and campaigns. I know from a personal level how crazy community politics can get I couldn’t even imagine the amount of effort and time that is put into trying to find dirt on someone at the federal level.
Bottom line is, politics are great and the freedom to vote is awesome, but sometimes that path between those too can be extremely shady, no matter what level you are on.

It is Sundance film festival time, and everybody flocks to the Mountains of Park city Utah, to see the new celebrity’s roles in the upcoming films. The Festival is currently under way, which brings me back to a thought that I had a few years ago when I was working private security for the festival. I was working in one of the big tents that a majority of the celebs, came and checked in, and got pampered and did interviews.
It was cool to see all the stars and have the privilege to be able to protect the area that they were in. It was all fine and dandy, until I started to notice how much stuff was wasted on them in the festival. They had a full bar setup to mix them any drinks that they wanted, they had an assorted variety of Italian soda’s that they were offered, and they had the bottled water of the festival, who sponsored many of the events.
I was absolutely shocked at how many cases of wasted water bottles there were. The celebs would come in and pick a couple up open one take a swig and then see an old friend set it down forget all about it, talk with the friend for a while, and then go and pick up another one out of the tub, and be on their way, and leave the other ones behind to be thrown away with only one swig taken out of it. You have no idea, how many different times, and variety’s of this story that I saw in the 12 hour days that I worked in the tent.
The biggest thing I saw with the whole festival is the amount of money that is put into it and wasted by spectators, and the celebrity’s, I have nothing against either, but I just can’t even fathom the amount of money that was put into the event, and shot down the porcelain goddess, because people are so careless and its free at the time, just because its a sponsor, where if I went down to the local gas station, I would be paying $1.29 for a bottle of the sponsored water right now.
Right now the economy is looking pretty bad, but I wonder how much of it could be prevented, by just being a little more conservative in our dealings.
