DEFENSE CONTRACTOR LOBBY OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE

July 19, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Special Interests and Defense Contractor Lobby: Same thing, or different? One of the unifying parts of America are military arms manufacturers, the guys who turn shock and awe into SHOCK AND AWE. It’s scientific, academic, economic, and a huge money maker. Call it the glue that holds us together. Or call it the most powerful […]

OLYMPIC YEAR TRAINING FOR ELECTION YEAR

July 15, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Why sports and elections both need Olympic Year Training. Every four years the Olympic Games roll around.

AGING MEN WITH LADY ISSUES

July 8, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Talk about aging men. Aging men need to listen. Women of a certain age say they’re invisible, that they’ve lost the power of attraction. With Sophia Loren is in the crowd there’s doubt about that.

HACKED EMAILS OF HISTORY

July 7, 2016 by David Gillaspie

A greater truth from hacked emails. History is full of misunderstandings and mistakes from people on all sides. They didn’t start out making mistakes on purpose, but the results speak for themselves.
