*America could end its hunger problem today if it really wanted to. This is the reality made clear in a new documentary that examines hunger in the U.S. through the eyes of three people deep in the struggle. “A Place at the Table,” opening Friday (March 1) from directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush, puts [...]
*Is it time for everyone to drive around with a disclaimer on their car? I mean, it appears that, at least for some, this is necessary in order to keep folks from getting their car vandalized, getting dirty looks, and being on the receiving end of someone’s middle finger. President Obama’s haters are dredging up [...]
*The teenage population of every generation is accused of the most irresponsible behavior. Once Rock & Roll hit the scene, parents felt it was the gateway to hell. Then came the sex and drugs associated with the music and we never recuperated once crack touched down. But along with the drug abuse, the sexual encounters [...]
*The federal government’s idea to “counsel” obese people on their eating habits is as backwards as the government’s war on drugs championing the D.A.R.E. program after the CIA supported the trafficking of cocaine into the U.S. to help finance the purchase of guns for the Contras. The announcement Monday that a federal health advisory panel [...]
*Smart technology is taking over our smarts and doing everything that we should continue to do for ourselves. (Are you a fan of EURweb? Like us on Facebook or Follow us on Twitter.) We have refrigerators making grocery lists, and vacuum cleaners that scoot around preventing us from getting the exercise we know we need. [...]
*College costs have shot up over the years and more and more of us will need the assistance of the government to complete a needed college education. The workforce has become more demanding when it comes to having a college degree. But now the government may have thrown a major monkey wrench in that plan. [...]
*The biggest sacrifice men and women have made for this country is to go to war to protect it. They are average citizens who, a lot of them, have never seen someone murdered up close and personal, yet they are thrown into war where they are possibly killing civilians or watch them be killed. They are martyrs, murderers, and [...]
*We all have to admit that there are a lot of celebrations on the calendar that we get to take off from work, yet we don’t understand. Nonetheless, we are glad to have the day off. We just celebrated Columbus Day on Monday, but it’s a half-ass holiday. The government knows everyone isn’t a fan [...]
*African Americans search for government jobs and have held them as a source of stability for decades. The postal workers and various employers in every branch of government have considered black employees to be a valuable member of the exclusive club of federal workers. But now that we have been hit by an overwhelming recession, black [...]
*The Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether the government can dictate the message of a Christian ministry. And a brief submitted along with the question cites a page of biblical references as authority, listing them even ahead of the U.S. Constitution, statutes and previous case law. The idea of a forced message is [...]
*Well, well, well. It seems that President Obama still has a few friends in the media that are willing to, as the old folk say, tell the truth and shame the devil. The devil being Donald Trump in this instance. It seems that the real estate developer has a checkered past with “the blacks” (as [...]
*With the very real prospect of failure in last-ditch budget talks, the LAV Times is reporting that federal officials have prepared plans to furlough about 800,000 employees, freeze the processing of some income tax refunds and suspend pay for the military as part of the impending government shutdown: Administration officials detailed the shutdown plans Wednesday, [...]
*A coalition of 34,000 black churches is blasting President Barack Obama’s decision to stop defending the federal law that bans recognition of gay marriage. The Rev. Anthony Evans, who heads the National Black Church Initiative, says Obama “has violated the Christian faith” by failing to uphold Jesus’ teaching that marriage is between a man and [...]
*The census results are in and things don’t look good for one county in the country. The decade before the census wasn’t good for the county either, but somehow they stayed above water. The recession hit though and now … here we are at 2,500 most impoverished people in the nation. We thought that Wayne [...]
*The White House seems to be doing, well, nothing really about the oil spill in the Gulf. Maybe a few visits here and there from vice president, other officials, and now from the first lady. Critics, consumers, and heck … America are peeved of the lack of action the government has made on behalf of [...]
