Anthony Brown: Maryland's next governor


Anthony Brown: Maryland’s next governor

 

Anthony Brown is a man of multiple accomplishments. As Lieutenant Governor for the last seven years and a Delegate to the Maryland House for eight years preceding his rise to the Executive Branch he has become extremely familiar with the mechanisms of state government. Lieutenant Governor Brown concurrently continues to serve in the United States Army Reserves with the rank of Colonel for which he has been a member for three decades. As a Harvard trained lawyer he distinguished himself there and during his tenure in the private sector. Support for him to rise to the ultimate job in state government has been increasing at an exponential rate. Endorsements have been flooding in from a diverse number of groups and individuals who see him as a man with ability and promise. Recently he was unfairly attacked by his opponent Douglas Gansler, Maryland’s Attorney General, who is also running for governor. Gansler complains that Maryland’s health exchange implementation was mismanaged under the tutelage of Brown. This erroneous assault on the Lieutenant Governor is a desperate maneuver by Gansler to curry favor with the public. Multiple factors come into play when establishing the sophisticated software and hardware to make the health exchanges a reality. Brown depends on numerous Information Technology personnel to provide accurate and truthful data to him, they didn’t. Lieutenant Governor Brown is on record stating he could have done a better job. His honesty is refreshing, as is his extensive resume. Lieutenant Governor Brown should be judged in his own right exclusive of the man he works with, Martin O’Malley. Brown’s personal and professional accomplishments far exceed the man he works for. Maryland’s Attorney General has abused his office in numerous ways and those affected have had their careers ruined. Douglas Glansler has used Maryland Courts in a deceitful manner to move up the food chain, he should not be given the key to the Executive Suite.  When Election Day comes, the title of Governor will be awarded to Anthony Brown.

America transitions from Democracy to hypocrisy


America transitions from Democracy to hypocrisy

 

Extolling the virtues of failure as he moves through his day, President Obama’s success can be measured in the number of lies he spews hourly. Democracy is no longer an essential theme for an Administration that has undermined every institution, industry and tradition in the country. Instead their sole purpose for being is to control every aspect of its citizenry’s existence. To bring this goal to fruition the Obama Administration has set out on a path of deceit so profound that it startles even their most staunch supporters. Worse, when the lies are revealed the massive cover up begins. Choose your topic: the massacre in Benghazi, Obamacare, Fast and Furious, the IRS assault on conservatives, fraudulent use of taxpayer funds are just a few of the insidious actions taken by an out of control Executive branch. America no longer functions by law, fiat has become the vehicle of control to implement the President’s agenda. Every wrongful action committed by the President has been submerged using chicanery to inhibit full disclosure of its intent and outcome. Most recently President Obama has utilized a variety means to deceive the public about key elements of Obamacare. America has only tasted the bitter fruit of phase one, the insurance exchanges. With their failures reported in all fifty states the Administration has maintained one script which obviates the truth. Obamacare’s basic algorithms are flawed, which is no surprise to the public who has to deal with them. Failure has been the core theme threaded throughout President Obama’s virtual usurpation of American culture, rhythms and infrastructure. He has misled tens of millions that the road to their futures depends on the work of others, not their own. With well-rehearsed demagoguery Obama appeals to his audiences’ weaknesses with the intention of retaining his power base. Hypocrisy is the new Democracy, left unchallenged, will become the template for future Administrations. For now a lame Congress and a left leaning Supreme Court have done little to impede America’s departure from Democracy. Perhaps the Administration should take a lesson from the Old Testament: thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Yet, I believe they are too busy planning their next cover up.

Secrets to a Pain Free Life


Title: Secrets to a Pain Free Life

Author: Dr. Reza Ghorbani

Reviewed by: Mark Davis, MD

 

Doctor Reza Ghorbani, a foremost expert in pain management, has published an incisive new book entitled “Secrets to a Pain Free Life.” Tens of millions visit their health providers yearly seeking relief from musculoskeletal pain.  Treatment modalities prescribed by many practitioners are neither cutting edge nor effective for the intended diagnosis. Dr. Ghorbani’s book introduces the reader to an entire new range of treatments rarely considered by those in the field of pain management.  As a Harvard trained physician, with dual Certifications in Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Management, Dr. Ghorbani explores an array of pain treatments that can bring marked relief to those who have lived with pain far too long. “Secrets to a Pain Free Life” initially discusses the physiology of pain, clearly explaining how it is generated, common causes and who is most likely to incur chronic pain. Taking us system by system the reader learns that pain can be managed effectively by those who are well versed in this specialty of medicine. Dr. Ghorbani is clearly conscious of the effects addictive drugs have on the body implying to the reader alternative treatments could provide similar relief without the physiological addiction. 

 

Dr. Ghorbani takes the reader on a historical journey through time as he discusses how pain was managed through the millennia. This information is integrated throughout the book to flesh out treatments that continue to be utilized today. Herbal remedies were known to the inhabitants of many cultures. Their knowledge of leaves, roots, bark, stems and other plant features moved through the ages into current times. Many of their remedies have great significance in today’s world. Dr. Ghorbani displays a profound depth of knowledge on herbal remedies in separate chapters on Tumeric, Rosemary, Boswellia, Ginger and much more. Many of these herbs are excellent substitutes to the narcotic based drugs too readily given to patients by some practitioners. Dr. Ghorbani  discusses an array of treatment modalities using herbs as a basis to relieve pain allowing improved function and lifestyle.

 

Pain does not mean an end to normal living as this book conveys to its readers. Dr. Ghorbani explores lifestyle changes patients can make to bring control of pain to acceptable levels. Weight loss, exercise, stress reduction and vitamin supplements are part of the regimens discussed which can revitalize a patient’s ability to function at near normal levels. As an astute practitioner of pain management Dr. Ghorbani’s expertise provides strength to each chapter in the “Secrets to a Pain Free Life,” by drawing on his long term experience in this field. This book is a must read for anyone who has not found pain relief utilizing standards modes of therapy. After reading “Secrets to a Pain Free Life” the reader will have a more expansive understanding of pain mechanisms and an intricate knowledge where to find relief. A well-written and professionally researched work this book assuredly will become part of many health care libraries.

Phase Two: the Obamacare nightmare continues


Phase Two: the Obamacare nightmare continues

 

Derelict in their duties implementing phase one of Obamacare, the Exchanges, phase two will be a nightmare for those trying to bring this legislation into reality.
Based on a series of fraudulent algorithms and guided by the legal elites in Washington the steps to failure are written into every page of this egregious Ponzi scheme. Three years was not enough time to establish the portals to access PPACA’s promises, then thirty years will not be sufficient to build the supporting structures and bureaucracy to manage its medical services. Complexity of America’s health care system is best represented by the number of facilities and people who support their function. With nearly six thousand hospitals, thousands of clinics and tens of thousands of physician offices to oversee the numbers only get worse when factoring in the people delivering services through these sites. Nine hundred thousand physicians, three million nurses, millions of auxillary personnel and an array of other health professionals combine to create an untenable situation for any government agency to manage. Yet this is the task Obamacare  has set-out for itself. To control costs one must pare down services, no doubt this was a primary consideration when this mess was originally envisioned. Under the traditional system MRIs and CT scans are available in hours to days, not anymore. Reflecting on the Canadian system, weeks to months will become the norm. Routine surgeries are not routine anymore. A vast array of bureaucrats will allow the privileged few into the operating suites. Bogus medical studies have already emerged, from quasi government panels, to dissuade physicians from performing certain lab tests, surgeries and procedures. Many have already been published, more are on the way. Mammograms were one of the first tests government officials attacked for overuse.  PSA testing, to determine prostate cancer, has been challenged by physicians outside this specialty working in Obama’s corner.  The parade of changes coming to traditional medicine will be alarming to the end-user, the patient, as Obamacare is fully implemented. Irony has a way of uncovering deception. Those who pushed this legislation through will be hammered by the same rules which will limit medical care for others. Phase 2 is the treacherous road ahead as the promise of more care becomes less in the face of skyrocketing costs and diminished access. The nightmare is just beginning, are you ready. Mark Davis, MD author of Obamacare: Dead on Arrival, A Prescription for Disaster, the one book that details how phase 2 to will affect you and ways to circumvent this tragedy. americassage@gmail.com, www.healthnetsreviewservices.com

Presidential Medal of Freedom has lost its meaning


Presidential Medal of Freedom has lost its meaning

 

A race hustler and an impeached perjurer have garnered more medals for their reckless behaviors. Oprah believes that anyone who does not like President Obama or his left-wing legislative agenda is a racist. In a recent interview, to a British journalist, she stated for racism to desist a generation of people, meaning whites, must pass into eternity. Her small-minded thoughts shout racial hatreds. Oprah is a race hustler emeritus in an industry full of aging racists. Today the Commander-in-Chief bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Oprah for carrying the racist torch to heights even Martin Luther King could not imagine. Another figure, whose name will go down in history for shafting as many women as he could while practicing politics, accepted the same medal. William Jefferson Clinton, commonly called Bill Clinton has a very colorful history. Bill may come close to Obama’s record of lying while in office. His impeachment came as no surprise to most of us, yet the left wing Senate did not have the guts to carry through his well-deserved displacement from office. Perjury, philandering and political incompetence should have kept Bill Clinton far from today’s award.  By Oprah and Clinton receiving this once prestigious medal it is tarnished for those who previously received it. I wonder what MLK would have thought of Oprah’s continued use of the race card to keep herself in the news. Times may change, but those with hate in their hearts will always rise to the top on someone else’s back. Good luck Oprah you have billions, walls full of underserved awards and a consciousness that sees only one color.

Bullying: felonious actions, rite of passage or something else


Bullying: felonious actions, rite of passage or something else

 

Bullying has come a long way from the time individuals would handle such matters between themselves or through a second party. Children naturally intimidate each other as the socialization process moves forward. Whether it was in the sandbox or concerning the contents of a lunch box entanglements somehow always found you. With the advent of the new millennia the face of bullying took a radical change. Third parties created an industry that now employs tens of thousands to ameliorate a problem once left to a few to resolve. Defined as the process of intimidating or mistreating somebody weaker or is in a more vulnerable situation bullying has become the newest gold mine for lawyers. To make matters worse the criminal justice system is hungry to try cases that moms and dads could resolve with opposing parties in a matter of hours. Initiation into fraternities, sororities, sports teams and the like one could always expect a bit of hazing to humiliate the new member. Does this call for the prosecutorial machinery from local government sources to move on them? Absolutely not! Yet the legal system has injected its self-righteous hands where they do not belong. The argument exists bullying can lead to extreme harm or even death of an individual is true but rare. Several recent suicides attributed to bullying have made national headlines. Those left behind are children facing felonies for juvenile tactics common to their age-related antics. The question remaining unanswered: why was there no intervention earlier? In the last few weeks a form of hazing was revealed against a player for the Miami Dolphins Jonathan Martin, who happens to be six foot and five inches weighing 312 pounds. With such bulk and height one would think he was the bullier, yet he claims to be the victim. A person’s ego structure will interpret acts against them in different manners. Martin’s emotional distress may derive from many factors and he indeed may have a valid case against those who he accuses. Rites of passage in a person’s life indicate certain transitions and or milestones that are achieved to move on to the next stage of life. Many children do not move through the socialization process appropriately causing them to be either victims or victimizers in society, through no fault of their own. With the traditional family structure disintegrating, guidance into adulthood by responsible adults is diminishing rapidly. Bullying will not be solved by passage of laws, jailing children or destroying the future careers of sportsmen. Intervention must occur as early as possible by those closest to the situation. If not, the unwanted involvement of third parties will quickly be realized. Mark Davis, MD.

Awakening of American minds


Awakening of American minds

 

For the last five years Americans have been asleep. As we slumbered Democracy was being supplanted by forces unfriendly to it. The very strength of our nation drained away as the blood of socialism was being transfused into our institutions, industries and classrooms. Many of us, who saw the changes coming, were ignored, became banter of late night talk shows or found our words squelched by left-wing media outlets. Five years later the laughs have stopped giving way to the concerns that America’s transition is detrimental to all political persuasions. United States is now managed by a group that believes it can pick and choose which laws it will follow. Justice is meted out by those with a skewed view of the Constitution. Laws have become weapons in their hands to move narrow agendas forward which benefit only a few. A formerly strong and conscientious nation appears foolish on the World stage. Barack Obama leads from behind. His hesitations, lack of transparency and indecisions have defined him as less of a leader and more of a follower, who takes his cues from the social deviants in which he keeps company. America’s re-fabrication has redefined the essence of this nation. Be the best you can be has been replaced with give as much as you can and as often as you can to those who do not want to contribute to the collective. Be dependent is the theme from the White House. Individuals who succeed on their own are an anathema to those who move up the food chain on the backs of others. Any attempt to change the dependency apparatus in the nation’s capital is met with an array of disarming statements such as: poor children will starve or the elderly will be put out in the streets. None of it true, yet it keeps the gravy flowing to a population that knows how to cajole politicians to keep the entitlement faucet open. The half of America which has awakened to its own plight realized omens of failure were apparent throughout the country. Massive student loan debt, trillions promised to public pension plans, an untenable mortgage market backed with dwindling government coffers and a million unfulfilled promises by politicians are the seeds which will sink this nation fiscally. Great leaders rise up from the murk every so often, our President in not one of them. In the event Congress performed the task of governing appropriately, Barack Obama would have heard the gavel of impeachment by now. Instead he continues to party and deride the country as though tomorrow may never come. Perhaps he knows something the rest of us don’t.

Obamacare: DOA, A Prescription for Disaster


This excellent book, published by a subunit of Amazon, discusses the flaws, inconsistencies and defects in the health legislation known as Obamacare. Through real life examples, this author displays how medical care delivery by a giant government bureaucracy will be potentially detrimental to the greatest bulk of American society. PPACA (Obamacare)is analyzed from the health care practitioner's perspective. The author went to great lengths to show how government managed health programs lead in one direction, rationing. Mark Davis MD notes how medications for many diseases become scarce, access to hospital beds is reduced and the quality of care delivery moves down several notches. The author has owned and or managed many health facilities, which provided him with full knowledge how the government interacts with private medical facilities. He is Federal lobbyist specifically for patient care issues and has not represented any company or group profiting from Obamacare. If you want to take a glimpse at your medical future this is one book you should have on your reading list this year. Obamacare: Dead on Arrival, A Prescription for Disaster will be criticized by those who will profit in some manner or fashion from Obamacare. Do not allow them to deter you from being informed about the most heinous health legislation every to emanate from the dark halls of Congress.

Death by Obamacare


Death by Obamacare

 

Media has been focusing on the fundamentally flawed economic aspects of Obamacare. Few pundits have weighed in on the medical care and access that comes with this monstrous legislation.  Moving beyond the Exchanges the reality of Obamacare confronts you when trying to enter this new mode of health care delivery. Traditionally physicians worked alongside nursing personnel to investigate a patient’s symptoms and provide a viable treatment plan to effectuate a solution to the presenting problem. Obamacare seeks to undo this model by introducing secondary health providers, such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, for first contact. Complicated presenting complaints would be evaluated by people who have less than one third the training of an M.D. or D.O. American medicine has already taken a hit when investigations revealed many foreign MDs have markedly less education and practical patient experience than their American counterparts prior to licensing. Doctor Ezekial Emanual, one of the architects of Obamacare recently stated in an interview with Andy Dean: for Obamacare to be a viable entity, secondary personnel on the frontlines, is necessary if this model of health delivery is to work. In his opinion physicians are no longer needed to be present on first contact. This Harvard theorist is essentially requiring Americans to be lab animals in the Obamacare maze.

Death by Obamacare


Death by Obamacare

 

Media has been focusing on the fundamentally flawed economic aspects of Obamacare. Few pundits have weighed in on the medical care and access that comes with this monstrous legislation.  Moving beyond the Exchanges the reality of Obamacare confronts you when trying to enter this new mode of health care delivery. Traditionally physicians worked alongside nursing personnel to investigate a patient’s symptoms and provide a viable treatment plan to effectuate a solution to the presenting problem. Obamacare seeks to undo this model by introducing secondary health providers, such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, for first contact. Complicated presenting complaints would be evaluated by people who have less than one third the training of an M.D. or D.O. American medicine has already taken a hit when investigations revealed many foreign MDs have markedly less education and practical patient experience than their American counterparts prior to licensing. Doctor Ezekial Emanual, one of the architects of Obamacare recently stated in an interview with Andy Dean: for Obamacare to be a viable entity, secondary personnel on the frontlines, is necessary if this model of health delivery is to work. In his opinion physicians are no longer needed to be present on first contact. This Harvard theorist is essentially requiring Americans to be lab animals in the Obamacare maze. Dr. Emanual’s attempt to re-fabricate American medicine has no support in studies or actual experience, only an untried theorem. Medical care will see a decline in the quality and quantity of services as the new system is implemented. Physicians will be forced to follow treatment plans that are cooked up by government bureaucrats, many of whom are not health providers. These treatment plans will become the new standards of care. A physician who deviates from them could lose his/her license, be hanged in effigy and even find themselves in a cold jail cell, for which there is significant precedent.

Douglas Gansler: a fading Maryland politician


Douglas Gansler:  a fading Maryland politician

 

Douglas Gansler, Maryland’s Attorney General and gubernatorial hopeful initiated his campaign for higher office by introducing racism into the mix. Anthony Brown, the present lieutenant governor, was slighted by Gansler who was noted as saying Brown has few accomplishments and is relying on his race to win the 2014 primary. Gansler, who purportedly was a defender of Civil Rights during his tenure in office, appears to be opposed to them when a politician running against him is of another race. To make matters worse Gansler’s running mate Jolene Ivey staked out a claim of her own in this racism dialogue. The first few words from her when chosen to run for lieutenant governor were: she is a Trayvon Martin mom. Race appears to be on the minds of both of these candidates for higher office. Gansler was the first Maryland Attorney General to establish a Director of Civil Rights position within his department. The question is whose Civil Rights were being monitored. His Voting Irregularities Task Force was setup to ferret out voter suppression throughout Maryland. One must suspend disbelief to believe any Maryland voters were stopped from casting their ballots. Obviously the present Attorney General was pandering to 30% of the state who are of the black culture. If there is any suppression of voters’ rights in Maryland Afro-Americans are the least affected. Gansler’s attempt to bring attention to himself can be observed in the many high profile legal cases he brings to the forefront. His stance on issues has the stench of far left politics. As a physician who has been through the milieu of professional and political assassination by Gansler and his minions, he appears not to care if a legal case has credence only that it is media worthy. Recently the Maryland State Education Association overwhelmingly supported Brown in his efforts to become Governor. Too many contradictions follow Douglas Gansler in his crusade to move up the food chain. Needless to state, his present temperament on race contradicts his prior profile and its scent has been picked up by many who are looking away from him and towards Anthony Brown. Gansler has stung many to justify his political position, now his own words are biting him back. Perhaps Douglas Gansler should reconsider his run for governor, it appears others have.

Obamacare: A Prescription for Disaster


Obamacare: A Prescription for disaster

 

October first 2013 will be remembered as the day Obamacare initiated a process to dismantle America’s health system. Earlier this year Americans were hammered with a dozen new taxes to bring this monster to fruition.  With the implementation of insurance exchanges medical services moved into the dark shadows of government bureaucracy. Failure is the most appropriate way to describe the initial two weeks of this electronic venture to cull unsuspecting people to purchase high priced insurance programs. Reportedly, one must provide information in minute detail, from your prior health history to one’s criminal past. Obamacare allows the U.S. government to mine each individual for data far beyond the needs required to create a health profile. How this information will be utilized is the subject of thousands of comments strewn across  social websites. Yet the media has only grazed this subject. Who needs a Fourth Amendment when we have an Administration that believes the Constitution stands in the away of governing.  Obamacare economics were intended to diminish costs to patients, instead insurance fees moved exponentially higher. Most important, every service embedded in this health legislation, will be apportioned using twisted algorithms to effectuate this oncoming disaster. Instant access to medical services will be a fine memory as this nation moves into its new mode of health care delivery.  A waiting game will emerge where weeks and months will go by when these services were once available in mere hours or days. With a tidal wave of new recipients flowing forth, the health system will need an array of new workers. Ezekial Emanuel MD, Ph.D, one of the architects of this mess, stated in a recent interview that secondary and tertiary health workers will be relied heavily upon to effectuate Obamacare. He believes doctors are no longer needed for minor infirmities such as colds and urinary tract infections. His PH.D is in political philosophy. This author is not sure which one. In essence Obamacare is a hodge-podge of regulatory structure cobbled together to mend a health system that needed a tune up not an overhaul. Its authors were mainly theorists and lawyers.  Failure is written all over this tragedy. Unfortunately President Obama wants to see his tragedy evolve and the resulting number of people who will be hurt under its auspices. As Obamacare implodes, it will defund itself because the economic formula on which it is based is fundamentally flawed. Theory is never as good as practicality. Obamacare is impractical and will hurt a nation already hurting. This nightmare will be over when rational minds prevail in the heart of the nation.  Mark Davis MD, author of the forthcoming book, Obamacare: Dead on Arrival, A Prescription for Disaster.  Available on Amazon, Kindle and soon other venues. platomd@gmail.com, www.healthnetsreviewservices.com.

Obamacare: Dead on Arrival, A Prescription for Disaster


Obamacare: Dead on Arrival, A Prescription for Disaster reveals the true intentions behind the ill-conceived health legislation bearing our President’s name. In the event this egregious law is fully implemented the level of detriment to our society will be enormous. This book describes, through many examples, how government managed health care leads only in one direction: decreased access and rationing. Insufficient emergency services, inability to access cutting edge drugs, surgical and diagnostic procedures wait times taking months instead of days and numerous other inhibitions brought into a system that does not need the hands of the government to function.  Obamacare was designed to fail. Its advertised goals hide its true nature. This book reveals information the media did not touch in their reviews.  Obama: Dead on Arrival, A Prescription for Disaster is available presently on Amazon and this website: https://www.createspace.com/3801630

America: closed for business


America: closed for business

 

America has traveled on many roads, yet the present shut down may be one of the most treacherous of them all. An ongoing game of chicken, between President Obama and Speaker John Boehner, could be the ultimate ride a country in recession does not need. The House of Representatives’ mandate is to originate funding measures that control every aspect of our economy. In 2010 a Democrat controlled Congress deceptively passed into law health legislation that is both deleterious to the American economy and destructive to the health care system. With a scant majority the Democrats succeeded in socializing medicine after six decades of attempts. President Obama’s relentless pursuit of this legislative tragedy came with a set of negative ramifications its authors could not foresee or did they? As several years went by elements of this monstrous law began to filtrate through the nation. Many of its downsides were hidden from the people it would affect most until after the 2012 election.  The President has given his supporters a vast array of waivers, from this detrimental law, yet most of the population must suffer under its tenets. During the most recent fiscal showdown between the House of Representatives and the White House its Republican majority was willing to fund the entire government except what has come to be known as Obamacare.  As monetary deadlines drew near neither side would flinch, leaving no choice but to shutter most bureaucratic functions. Over a week has passed and both sides are resolute in their positions.  During a news conference on October 8th, the President reiterated his position, no negotiation until full funding is restored to government services. In response Speaker Boehner clarified his position while holding his ground. To move the Republicans to the table Obama decided to inflict maximum pain on the nation. Every conceivable means of disrupting Americans’ lives has been brought to bear by a White House out of control. Parks, memorials, beaches, monuments, museums and a long list of government funded entities are now closed to the public. Obama’s minions ordered the World War Two memorial closed, yet it required no staff to keep it open. Elderly veterans from around the country come to view this remembrance of a war that changed the World. Within the last week a group of vets, from this era, came to pay their respects, many in wheel chairs. A barricade was there to greet them. Some respected members of Congress heard of their plight and came to escort them into the site. Obama’s vindictive nature was evident in the last week, his next set of moves may be more intense. Speaker Boehner must deal with Obama’s childlike behavior, but under no circumstance should he become weak in the knees and give an inch. Obamacare is a disaster waiting to happen. The catastrophic ramifications of this egregious legislation can only be projected. Let those who still have rational minds in Washington quickly negotiate to settle this stalemate.

The Other America Revisited


The Other America Revisited

 

     Government supported indolence is maneuver the Obama Administration utilizes to keep the population in check. A constant flow of treasury largesse, to tens of millions, perpetuates societal weaknesses disallowing the helpless from moving ahead of their own economic vices. As a result an entitlement mentality has developed that is so profound a catastrophe would befall anyone who has to put aside the flood of goodies that arrives weekly from Uncle Obama. Therefore self-made prisons arise where an individual cannot break free of the bonds the political over-class has inflicted on them. Self-serving individuals, who are enhanced by this economic morass, keep their political titles intact by those who partake in this monetary feast, which continues the status quo. Change is the driving force for those with ambition, not for those anchored to the certainty of a welfare handout. Results of government enforced laziness are evident, especially in the cities. Unemployment is conspicuously high in any group you examine. Murder rates exceed those from Middle East countries. Single parent households continue to rise to exponential levels. Even after government officials spin high school graduation rates, they are still low. Violent crime is business as usual.  Maryland exemplifies the latter with a government that thrives on the status quo.  Blue states officials notoriously buy votes from their entitlement base in return

for subsidizing their life styles. Yet these people never seem to grow beyond their checks. A recent conversation with an official from a Maryland detention facility opened the eyes of many who would listen to his sagacious words. Why work when a check is at your door on schedule, regularly. Why work when a kid can run drugs and earn several thousand dollars per week. Why work when each child you conceive increases your monthly take. Why work when the stigma of welfare was removed with an EBT card. This official’s elaboration, taken collectively, is the reason why the so-called poverty class will remain the so-called poverty class, there are too many incentives not to grow. Savvy Politicians play upon this economic class to continue the gravy flowing at the expense of the private sector. In the end there will be an array of cities similar to Detroit: bankrupt, demoralized, polarized and dying. The masters of this destruction will move up the food chain while those left behind will live in the quagmire they created.

Riddick: Into the Darkness


Riddick: scifi the way it should be

 

     Riddick is an iconic character played by Van Diesel in three movies:  Pitch Black, the Chronicles of Riddick and the newest installment Riddick- Into the Dark. Van Diesel recreates his version of Riddick 9 years after the last chapter was released. Left for dead on a planet with no name, the anti-hero of this film has two needs: vengeance and survival.  With an interesting array of alien creatures desiring to kill our protagonist in nearly every scene, you may not want to take a break to the candy stand. A wanted criminal in half the galaxy, bounty hunters seem to find him no matter where he is. Riddick is able to outwit the lowlife and the more advanced animals chasing him, to his own advantage. Small hints of nontraditional sexual roles are sprinkled throughout Riddick’s negotiations with his potential captors. Background sets flesh out the harsh reality Riddick must contend with to survive.  Into the Dark is more reminiscent of the first movie Pitch Black than its sequel. David Twohy wrote and directed this latest chapter of Riddick, allowing his imagine to move as far as the set designers would permit. In the event you are searching for pure scifi, such as a Star Wars adventure, this is not the movie for you.  Ingenuity is embedded in this well written script, loaded with twists and turns, to keep the audience on edge. Twohy  has the so-called good guys and gal desperately searching for our anti-hero, who is not very far away.  For hardcore science fiction addicts, who rebuff the dilute and worn out nature of the Star Trek series, this movie was created for you. Van Diesel, no stranger to sequels, would do himself and the audience an injustice if he did not develop this character any further. I suggest there may be several sequels to follow.  Running time is approximately 2 hours and worth the watch. Mark Davis MD, your intrepid reviewer at large.
