" He who hath come into this world has a divine obligation to serve humanity." This quote sums up what mankind should do, and should continue to do for the betterment, enrichment, and enlightenment of every human being on earth. To often though mankind has deviated from this path and instead caused, is causing, and will continue to cause horrific suffering of unimaginable magnitudes upon all living things.

Caitlyn Jenner To Run For Office? Kris Jenner "Full of S**t?"
It's been a busy few days for Caitlyn Jenner. After seeing her image on the promotional posters for the remake of It throughout Los Angeles, courtesy of the artist Sabo, Jenner made an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News, where many television critics said that Carlson basically seemed to be making fun of his guest throughout her appearance. Now, it seems that Jenner might be setting her sights on a continued life in the public eye.

Trump Has "Kind Of Disappointed" Caitlyn Jenner
Caitlyn Jenner appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on April 24 in the former The O'Reilly Factor time slot, and host Tucker Carlson delivered a bombastic hour that would have done former Fox host Bill O'Reilly proud. The hour was filled with arguments about transgender rights, and defense of Jenner's vote for Donald Trump, and lots of bluster. It was clear, right from the start, that Carlson looked up to the man who once held the time slot that Carlson was taking over.

Education Reform
The American educational experience from the late 1960's thru today has been a total disaster. Instead of securing our place in educational standards when the educational experience of the post World War II period up till around 1970 we have succumbed to the lowest common denominator. In the mid 1960's is where the United States was ranked first in Math and Science of all the industrialized nations; a far cry from the realities of education in America today. We have failed generations of our youth. Today, the United States has yet to climb back even into the top 25 of countries around the world. Over the past 40 years through policies, laws, and Supreme Court decisions that were supposed to improve education have done the exact opposite. A lesson in futility sort of speaking has undermined the ability of Americas to compete in the global economic community. Sure, there have been bright spots here and there but the overall educational experience in the United States from elementary thru secondary we have continued to loose sight of the aspects that what made American educational the success it was 50 years ago.

Poverty
The fast track mobilization of our corporate world has made the United States government synonymous with the giants of industry. It is these giants of industry that have pushed America into the realization that the majority of Americas are now faced with third world conditions. With the names of Halliburton, Koch, Texaco, Chevron, Bank American, Wal-Mart and others whose CEO's control the purse strings of our elected officials, corporate control is the reality of today. For over 100 years Washington's predatory economic policies and the Global elite methodically pushed the United States out of contention as the world's largest economy. In doing so corporate America has left millions of Americas so impoverished that they will have no chance of ever rising above the poverty level that they have been thrust into. The cycle of poverty has only grown wider.

The Panama Papers
Ever since the Panama Papers came out, too many of us were naive about the extent and scope of how much wealth is actually being hidden away in tax havens and off shore accounts all around the globe. Sure, we accept the fact that the wealth of certain individuals have always been socked away from the prying eyes of government. That's one of the reasons why the wealthy keep getting wealthier. But, this latest report just shows the ridiculously obscene amount of wealth many leaders of government and industry have hidden away using their positions to amass great fortunes while the rest of the world languishes in desperation hoping and praying for better times ahead.

Above The Law
When American History is taught there is an oversight. An oversight that has universal consequences of how our government has morphed into this self serving bureaucracy that we have today. What is being purposely omitted in every history class pertains to the original 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution. This omission really isn't an oversight but a blatant, willful deception perpetrated by our government for decades for the express purpose to keep students and the general public unaware of how government, and our elected officials have been deceiving the public into thinking that they are not above the law. To take a closer look into the original 13th Amendment we find that our founding fathers had very keen insights on how to protect the virtue of our Constitution. Insight to maintain that our government will continue to work for the people and not become in essence what our government is today.

Social Security Restoration
Now that the President has outlined his priorities the Republican led congress is prepared to go on the attack. Social Security is one of the first governmental programs that will face an uncertain future with this President and Congress. Many economists argue that one of the best ways to stimulate the economy is to put more money in more people's pockets. But, with the Republican mindset lately what they propose is draconian cuts in the programs that affect millions of Americans. Social Security is going to be one of the first programs that will face a curtail test. Will it survive and allow our seniors to be able to keep pace with the rising cost of living? Good question. But like so many other initiatives the President has laid out, these plans have yet to be realized. And, with congress the way it is more doom and gloom will most likely be the reality for our seniors and the disabled. What will it take to secure Social Security now and for the future? National Economic Reform's Ten Articles of Confederation when implemented will effectively ensure our seniors and the disabled will have the financial means for them and for generations to come.

The Years Of Living Dangerously
The years of living dangerously are now upon the world today. Untold carnage has seeped into ever corner of society. When you look at practically every major city around the world from Chicago, Buenos Aires, to Damascus, violent carnage is an all too frequent reality. The sociological shift in our society has given birth to a totally different, more unconscionable, uncompassionate existence where the sanctity of life has been replaced by an epidemic of violent carnage against man, animal and nature. Never a second thought as so many willful perpetrators of death and destruction continue to carry out heinous acts of violent behavior that have transformed humanity's existence.
