Is Kaepernick right, or wrong?

Although Kaepernick as an American citizen has a right not to salute the flag, his choice sets a bad example and is inappropriate. I agree that violence and other forms of bullying by police against civilians is a huge issue that those in power don't care about. I also agree that it disproportionately affects blacks. But it's a problem for all of us. Just because it disproportionately affects blacks does not make it a racial issue, or make the USA pro-white.

Kaepernick may not be a bad American. But by his actions he looks like one now. If he wants to play pro ball, he should apologize publicly for his actions and change how he chooses to represent himself and his team.

It's nice to see the coal miners are OK...

Here, it says that Congress has decided that all retired coal miners' Healthcare needs will forever be met. And that's great. I really mean that. But was it the Feds who these people worked for? Why am I, as a taxpayer, responsible?

They should pass a law that everyone's healthcare needs will forever be met. Not just the poor, the coal miners and other special interests. Everyone.

Mariah the Fraud

Nobody else will say it, so I will. Mariah Carey is a fraud. New Year's Eve, 2016. She put on a show and there were technical difficulties showing that, once again, it was nothing more than a lip-syncing exhibition.

Why does this bother me? Well, it's not like her fans wouldn't appreciate an actual live performance. Does she suck so bad that everything has to be preprocessed in a studio? Does she actually put on live performances ever?

A true artist doesn't do lip-syncing. True fans don't show up because they like karaoke. Mariah Carey has just shown her fans that she is no artist.
