Syria Falling Toward Iran?

Posted on October 23, 2017 by Curtis Greco

As the U.S.-led coalition continues the exorcism of ISIS from Iraq, the unanswered question remains; how will the U.S. deal with the infestation of Iraq, and its perimeter, by Iran?

Much to the delight of Iraq’s dominantly Shia-populated leadership, former U.S. President Obama’s abandonment of Iraq created a power vacuum which Iran eagerly filled. It’s well known that Russia support of the Assad Regime (Syria) is a strategic necessity given that their only Naval Base – outside of the Black Sea – for Mediterranean access is at the Port of Tartus (Syria) and it’s not likely that Putin will give it up without a fight.  Read more...

Bush-Obama; Dreadnoughts of the Governing Class

Posted on October 20, 2017 by Curtis Greco

With both former Presidents recently taking the stage, each for their own specific interests, the press would have you believe that their respective patois was a slice’n dice of Trumps Presidency; not so.

Former President Obama’s presentation, a stump-grinding pitch for Virginia Governor Candidate Ralph Norman, was true to form complete with a delirious droll, well-known cadence and as to content, mostly topical retread. The reality for President Obama, despite our best hopes, is that he’ll never escape the fact that his two-term festival-of-the-entitled is a catalogue of failures, one that history will not soon forget.  Read more...

Health Insurance Subsidies; will Trump-Cut Help?

Posted on October 12, 2017 by Curtis Greco

Your first thoughts for understanding this issue is to know that since Obamacare Subsidies began, Insurance Companies have posted Record Profits?  How does one then make a connection that an already failing insurance market, one that didn’t exist before Obamacare was enacted, one that now insures (overall) less people than it did before Obamacare was enacted and one that has caused an average of 160 percent rise in premiums (some areas as high as 239 percent), one that relies more on Medicare/Medicaid coverage than any single other market-source, is somehow and suddenly capable of success if only the President were to leave the floodgate of Insurance Company Subsidies in place?  Read more...

Did ISIS Assume Paddock I.D.?

Posted on October 5, 2017 by Curtis Greco

Even with all of the media coverage there is still very little intimate knowledge of Paddock. Psychopathic behavior is rarely, if ever so risk-adverse, as to not leave trace elements in one form or another. Something is awry in the current portfolio of thought as integral to this type of Individuals structural imbalance that is a virtual assurance they possess a deep-seated desire for recognition and yet, allegedly, even those closest to him never suspected or were alerted to the occurrence of suspicious activities. Further, given the indomitable capabilities of the FBI, particularly in profiling, it should call one to conclude that perhaps all is not what it seems.  Read more...

NFL and the Expanding Spectacle of Fashionability!

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Curtis Greco

I believe we can all agree that Sport is a good thing for everyone; helps keep the body fit and the mind sharp. Professional sport, on the other hand, is an exhibition, a spectacle if you will and I sincerely doubt folks attend these events with the expectation of being bludgeoned by the improprieties of Athletes. It is more likely that professional sports fills the publics need or desire to escape, if only for a time, prevailing social or personal tensions.  Read more...
