World tensions: North Korea, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine

It’s amazing to see the amount of conflagration across the planet earth right now. in 1914, there was a ‘shot heard around the world’ as Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated.. that event was the historical blame for the trigger that began World War I—the ‘war to end all wars.’ The end never came.. but a second world war did.. 

Will the events of 2014, one hundred years on, lead to world war 3? Are we ripe for another strange occurrence to electrify the current charge of the planet? 

There seem to be so many battles right now, and so many needless deaths. Brutal, and disgusting kills.. sickening events as the devil incarnate advances throughout the continents of the planet.

But…what will be that ‘trigger’ that begins the next big conflict? The war to end all wars, 21st century style?

Hope this doesn’t kill any Fourth of July parties.. 

While no end of the world scenario is probable for the holiday, this bears watching throughout the week. It could be Arthur.. and it may strike parts of the United States coast line come Independence Day..

Here is the storm that may be, now: 

Back under the dome.. maybe this season will at least start a bit better: Stephen King apparently wrote episode 1..
UNDER THE DOME returns tonight to CBS at 10pm. This time, according to Stephen King himself, no one under the dome is safe.. but will we be safe to watch? The original season was awful.. Maybe this go around a new and more vibrant DOME awaits. King writes.. We will see.

How airplanes once were: Prime rib, cocktail lounges, and piano bars. Plus comfortable seating in coach. Amazing how with ‘safety’ and improvements made, all the fun places dive ..no pun intended. Really, though, shouldn’t this be how all air travel should be? Filled with excitement of the friendly skies, cold adult beverages, hot food, and great music? Instead.. we have the current state of the system: Baked in the naked body scanners with touchers touching the most private parts searching for bombs in your bodily exits, tight seating, and not even peanuts anymore. Not even peanuts. Or cocktail lounges and piano bars for that matter..

THE EXTINCTION IS HERE

….in box offices. And as some scientists say, in real life too.. but real life doesn’t make as much money as TRANSFORMERS AGE OF EXTINCTION will..

$104 mil + for the weekend? Apparently that is what experts are expecting or at least craving.. big money for HOLLYWOOD baby, let’s let the good times roll. And go extinct.

The heat of the summer is here.. no better time than the present to make oodles of cash off of people on dates and yearning for a cool seat in a heat wave. 

But this is amazing: TRANSFORMERS made $81 mil internationally on Friday night for the opening day extravaganza. 

Nothing can stop it now. 
Not even 22 JUMP STREET.  Whatever that is.

Facebook Totally Screwed with a Bunch of People in the Name of Science

If you feel down on Facebook, it could have a lot to do with what your friends are posting

I linked up a story about this a few hours ago.. I still am not shocked by this .. not at all. 

Mark Zuckerberg used to sweat when Facebook controversies brewed.. now they just don’t comment and no one cares.

I miss the old days.

A stroll down memory lane. The Battle for Los Angeles. Still a mystery after all these decades.. a weather balloon? Or UFO.. No one knows but yet all say they do.

Are These Horror Films Really "Based On Actual Events"?

Interesting that I read this article today—I watched THE POSSESSION last night for the first time (yes it is old now, but I am slow and behind my times. Thanks to NETFLIX I get caught up years later) ..

The POSSESSION was actually a nicely done horror film. It was filled with some unexpected scares and unpredictable turns of events. But when I saw the tag line that it was based on true events, I didn’t buy it for a second. I frankly never do.

Unless I’m watching a documentary, I realize that it’s still Hollywood. And hooray for them, but they change everything.

That doesn’t mean it is a bad movie. It’s a movie. A movie.
Though reality is often scarier than fiction..

Dad of Toddler Killed in Hot Car Allegedly Researched Child Deaths

Services will be held today for Cooper Harris, the 22-month-old Georgia boy who died after his father left him in a hot car while he went to work.

There is innocence until proof is presented of guilt in court.. but it sounds like there may be some proof that at least presents a very bad picture about the father of this poor boy.

I am disgusted by this story.. I am even more disgusted now that more information is coming out..

BUT..

CNN is reporting this tidbit: 

The mother of a Georgia toddler who died in a sweltering SUV emphatically told a crowd at her son’s funeral she loves and stands by her husband, even though he was charged with murder in the child’s death.

AS said before.. innocent until proven guilty. But I have always found it incredibly tough to be able to forgive someone who forgets their toddler (visible in a rearview mirror at 22 months) is in the car..

Matt Drudge speaks: News business is 'psychotic' now

Matt Drudge gave a very rare interview this week..

Among some money quotes:

I will go where the action is, sometimes before it’s cool to do it, that’s why I get in trouble. I make waves, I don’t surf them as I used to say. That’s not that easy in this atmosphere with so many news outlets

And:

All of these polls are always divided. Capitol Hill is divided. How can you say the airwaves or the website should not be divided. We are

Plus:

These are very hot spicy issues here. We’re into an interesting summer here. We’re only about a week into it, I’m sensing some heat. And not just from the temperature outside, I think things are heating up in many respects

Interesting to hear how the trailblazer of internet success is now riding the same highway he paved, noticing all of the bumps and intersections filled with traffic due to his own creativity and success.

A lot of people hate Matt Drudge. But he was the first blog before anyone knew what one was.. he Tweeted before Twitter.. and he was 24/7 while everyone else was just dialing up. He changed the internet at the very beginning and everyone else tried to mock his success..

And it all started with a siren that will live in infamy.
