Remove those who claim to be a Christian from the Republican party today-and it disappears as a political party....And, what is mind-shattering about this FACT.....the Republican agenda, today, is antithetical to virtually EVERYTHING Christ spoke out for! A few years back I wrote a book: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE A CHRISTIAN, AND VOTE REPUBLICAN. The premise is transparent: If one is not following the teachings of Christ, they are NOT a Christian....PERIOD! Why on Earth would anyone make this claim otherwise? And as just one example, where in scripture did Christ say "Steal from the poor to give to the rich"? And yet, that is SPECIFICALLY what the Republicans do in their version of healthcare for Americans. And we wonder how they can keep a straight face and pull this scam on the American people? The political inclusion of Christians into the Republican agenda is of very recent origin.....and Bush I was quite uneasy, to say the least, that Bush II [who is a "born again"] wanted to take a major step in incorporating evangelicals in the Republican agenda.....Further, Christ said "Judge not, lest you be judged"....and yet the Republicans have set out to make bigotry LEGAL-in what the Republicans call "Religious Freedom"---in their derisive laws/judgments against gays, transgenders, blacks, Mexicans, etc.---Republican bias could be more at odds with Christ's teachings [as well as the U.S. Constitution]-but it is difficult to see how? Another major, major factor in linking Evangelicals to the Republican party is tied to the "anti-choice" folks.......[there is no "pro-life" movement in America, which is explored in detail, below]---and how their hatred for Roe v Wade is hot-wired to being a Republican requires a Harvard psychiatrist to unwind-but this malady is pervasive in the Republican party, today....

27 individual stories featuring the comedic adventures of short and swarthy Ginger Harrison and his tall lanky mate Sticky Albright over a two-year sojourn in defence of king and country; the skives and the scams, the conflicts with irascible Sergeant 'Bandy' Jordan and supercilious Squadron-Leader Aljonquin Phartingail ffoulkes-Knight; the camaraderie among fellow inmates of Hut 29 in RAF Padgate. These tales are loosely based on the experiences of the author during his stint as a national serviceman during the 1950s.

Horror story set in 1930 when hanging was the norm for convicted murderers: Nine people involved in a recent murder trial are invited to dine at a forbidding old mansion on the pretext of hearing news to their advantage. They are escorted by a sepulchral butler into a large reception hall to await their host. The room has a log fire burning in the hearth of an enormous fireplace; food and drink abound. When the host fails to make an appearance they opt to leave the room but cannot; the only door has disappeared to be replaced by a solid steel shutter. They start to bicker, accusing one another. Suddenly a mysterious voice addresses them and transforms the gathering into a court of enquiry; an event that results in a horrendous climax to the evening...

This dynamic little manual will lead you by the hand as you tap into Amazon's amazing propensity for attracting abundance as a novice self-published author. Through its associate publishing concerns Kindle and CreateSpace, Amazon opens the floodgates for embryonic authors to become published and perhaps even attain best seller status. No longer need writers wait for weeks, months, sometimes years to hear from traditional publishing houses on the outcome of slavishly prepared book proposals. Providing your story or commentary is truthful, the prose is clean, and you abide by the rules, Amazon will convert you into an instant published author with boundless opportunities to attract abundance. So what does it take to become an Amazon author? Above all it takes passion. - Passion for your expertise - Passion for your subject matter - Passion for your readers If you are not passionate about what you write, do not expect anyone else to show enthusiasm. You could write fiction, you write non-fiction, you could do both (as I do). If you have a stack of hot stories in your knapsack, start with fiction; if not, choose non-fiction to begin. Think about what you know and you know more than you think you know. You have expert knowledge on some topic or another. It could be work related, a leisure interest, or a hobby, and if you think no one else would be interested in what you know, you will be wrong. We are talking here about international exposure for your work and many like-minded people worldwide will want to know what you know and pay you to share your specialist knowledge.

Stand Easy! is a lighthearted conversational recollection in quasi diary format of events between my conscription into the RAF in 1949 and demobilisation in November 1951; events that played a significant part in shaping my existence. Enlisted men either enjoyed or hated their time in the forces. I loved every minute of it (even the scary bits...) It taught me self-discipline, self-reliance, man-management, and the value of an old shilling. I went in as a boy, came out a man, and still retain fond memories of my time in the RAF, some sixty six years on since I was conscripted as a raw recruit. Jim Green

Four little men hang from Baby Sandy's bedroom mobile. They are Moco, Poco, Joco and Coco. These funny little guys are Baby Sandy's best friends. He can talk to them anytime he wants. But Moco, Poco, Joco and Coco are loco. They get up to all sorts of mischief.

OUR CHOICES ARE: Adapt and change in a world that is changing, whether we like it or not, OR be forced to create a Police State to hold our anachronistic policies, practices and laws in place-And in America, today, we have chosen the latter.....and as only one pernicious example, of thousands-Ferguson is the result....To illustrate a critical area in which we need to adapt and change in a 21st Century economy: We have far more work that needs to be done in America, than we have persons to fill these jobs-And 86% of Americans believe that "Anybody wanting to work should be able to find a job"---So, why on earth in a democracy, do we have 9 million jobless Americans-[per the 11/14 DOL Jobs report]? Proposed solutions are detailed. The History of How We Got Where We Are is divided into two parts, which, in part, overlap: From WW II to the present, and from the mid-1970's-when the world economy underwent a major paradigm shift, to present....In a comedic, but religious context we hear of persons asking God for a sign-anything-which will warn us that we are on the wrong path, and need to change direction.....and our Police State choice, above, is our sign.....too few are listening....

Tangled tales of a disparate crew of thirty-five to fifty-something singles who haunt the clubs in search of company, romance, riches, opportunity; anything to take them away from staring at the blank walls that constitute home for the lonely, the low in spirit, and the downright irresponsible.

Rob Milburn is an inconsequential whisky-swigging little creep who only ever has one thing on his mind; unmitigated lust and how best to expatiate it. He yearns for romance but what he really craves is casual sex wherever he can find it and with whomsoever. When he sets off on a week's holiday to the Isle of Man he gets more than he bargained for; stunning sexpots who lead him up the garden path, and unscheduled encounters with vicious voyeurs, peeping toms, lardy ladies, tantalising transvestites, sexy showgirls, and dazzling but deadly dykes. Accompanying him on his adventures is an enormous suitcase that lands him in all sorts of trouble with officialdom. In this comedic short story the unlikely protagonist bounces from one crisis to another, providing hilarity along the way as he hankers after casual sex. Lust, romance, sex, desire, yearning, longing, are all second nature to Rob Milburn...

You painted your first ever watercolor and it pleased you; it pleased you because you did it just for you, which is the only genuine reason for attempting anything creative. This inspired you to knock out even more, perhaps six, even a dozen. Now you are hooked. You carry on and soon you have twenty, perhaps as many as thirty. Now what? You could decorate the walls of your home with them; that would give you an incentive to get up in morning; just to look at them, to be thankful for them, to luxuriate in a sense of inner fulfillment. You could invite your friends to a preview one evening; they would appreciate your work and proffer congratulations. But you could do more... You could plan ahead to exhibit your pictures to an international audience. With its bite size instruction this pragmatic little manual will show you how...

This pragmatic book focuses on the evolvement of a money-maker plan to add to the meagre income on which the majority of retirees struggle to survive...

Facebook is a modern phenomenon; a virtual meeting place with 500,000,000 active users (rising daily) and a marketer's paradise when you know how to build a list of precisely targeted prospects and milk it legitimately. There are no shortcuts to this system and no escape routes to parachute you ahead of everyone else using it in the race to build a catalog of 5000 friends on Facebook... You must follow every step in sequence in the Facebook List Builder for beginners. Failure to do will result in frustration, disillusionment, and a long slow trek to your target of 5000 friends (or beyond if Facebook permits). But the good news is that this system is simplicity personified. Once you have the basic structure up and running the daily tasks you will (and must) perform won't take up much of your time, and if you find yourself flagging for whatever reason, the sight of your list growing and growing like Topsy will soon galvanize you back into action.

Hollywood, home to the celluloid dream factories for over one hundred years. Hollywood, where attitudinal inconsistency is the norm... Ambitious, out-of-focus; loving, cold; caring, hardhearted; kind, cruel; good, bad; trusting, suspicious; romantic, platonic; helpful, obstructive; sympathetic, insensitive; humorous, dreary; decisive, uncertain. Hollywood, where those who handle inordinate pressure with self-assurance and equanimity become outrageously rich and famous and live to a ripe old age. Hollywood, where those who fail to cope with relentless stress, succumb; fall from grace at the pinnacle of stardom and sink into an abyss of despair and despondency. Hollywood, where the tinsel is frequently splattered with tears, causing heartache for the vulnerable. This book is dedicated to 50 hugely talented actors, whose lives ended in tragic circumstances; sometimes financially or spiritually impoverished, occasionally before their time.

Miss Tayke investigates murder in a variety of scenarios: brutal mayhem in a repertory theatre, bludgeoning of an innocent vicar in his own church, sudden death at a show in Blackpool, homicide at Christmastime, and mysterious goings-on in a public library.

The world economy underwent a paradigm shift in the mid-1970's, resulting from the colliding forces of automation, technology, globalization, etc., reaching a critical mass---And since the mid-1970's the Market has been unable to create the jobs necessary to its viability-With the result that "High and persistent unemployment has pervaded almost every OECD country since the mid-1970's." [Dr. William F. Mitchell]-problem is, in spite of ubiquitous unemployment, particularly among our youth-to this day-the myth persists that the market can create enough jobs-the market can solve this problem---and the error in judgment has been a disaster...the 2010 election, for one---and left us with 12 million unemployed/underemployed in America, alone....

Accepting that we are an "index" is so baked into our thinking the point is easily misunderstood...but the day we humans became an "index" in our economic system, is the day we ceased to be humans in that system-no different than stock in our warehouses, or prices or GDP--and yet, our economic system exists solely for us humans-it exists for no other reason. And, not inconsequential to this point is that unemployment is a "social" problem-with adverse social consequences---86% of Americans believe that "anybody wanting to work, should be able to find a job".... We are a democracy, and we, as the larger society, have a solemn responsibility and the "legal authorization" on the books, to provide employment to any American wanting to work.

THE purpose book is to provide a road map for how we can end our unemployment crisis-tomorrow. And it needs to be said at the outset-I am a capitalist-I celebrate the concept: Build a better widget, sell it for a million buck, and retire in Florida...it is what we are doing now that is anti-market-and the suggestions, below, are to correct that....We can't fix any of our socio-economic problems, however, until we address the corruption [and sometimes just plain ineptness] which causes them-and this is also true for our unemployment crisis....The good news is that we humans do have the capacity to change and abandon often cruel, and unworkable policies and laws such as the chemical castration of male homosexuals in England, and the Jim Crow laws in America-albeit, it took almost a century to eliminate this barbarism-in time we will eliminate our current anachronistic and unworkable policies and laws, and permanently end our unemployment crisis in America....Regarding unemployment, 86% of Americans believe that "anybody wanting to work should be able to find a job"--and yet, we have almost 9 million unemployed [the official number-others report 25 million unemployed/underemployed] -and in spite of the fact that we have the "legal authorization", on the books, today-to limit our UER to 3%, tomorrow. That is, at no time should our UER in America exceed 3%. Period.

"Since 2000 more than 50,000 manufacturing facilities in the U.S. have closed and roughly 50,000 industrial jobs have been lost each month.", Congressman Conyers-and resulting in a massive loss of income to the American economy....So why isn't the truth on the table-the 8 million the DOL reports are looking for work...where NONE exists----so we can change the dialogue? That is, include that unemployment not only adversely impacts the jobless, but the bottom line, as well! And the sad fact is, folks, is that for US.....US humans are chucked into our economy the same as a desk, or steering wheel-an index to be manipulated by economists-We are just not given that much importance-i.e., we are an item, in the law, to be used and discarded "at will"---And this did not happen by accident-indeed, since WW II the Koch brothers [a metaphor, and fact, for the 1%] have spent hundreds of millions buying governors and legislators to cement "at will" employment in every state [only Montana limits to probationary employees], and to destroy our labor unions! Their objective is to have employees without rights [a slave by definition-cheap labor]-and the loss of income to the bottom line is blindsided in this mind-set. The over-arching problem, of course, is a corrupted system where our politicians are bought and paid for by the Koch brothers.....[every Republican in Congress, and far too many Democrats....]...And over-looked is that our economy is only about one species-US, US human beings.....to illustrate, if we were recognized in our economy as we should be our Job Creation would be based on "fix unemployment, and this will fix the market"....rather that our current incompetent, and unworkable "fix the market, and this will fix unemployment"....

There are ten deadly mistakes you can make in minding your own business. If not detected and rectified, they spread like a cancer. This book starts off by identifying these insidious traps and how you can avoid their intrusion into your affairs. It goes further though, much further, by providing you with a stream of tried and tested strategies to ensure steady progress for your enterprise irrespective of changes in market forces. The universal failure rate in business is now reaching staggering proportions (most especially among start-ups) but those entrepreneurs who consciously or unwittingly employ these age-old strategies remain proactive in all kinds of weather because they always recognise the storm signals and react accordingly. As you will observe as you read these pages, I never stayed for too long in one place. I have a tendency to react to new ideas and new challenges, but always within my own area of expertise.

Visualize that Wal-Mart handed us a piece of paper with the words "trust us" as a receipt for our purchases-and you will have a consummate understanding of the reliability of our vote-in our current electronic voting system, in America. It is of little value in our calling America a "democracy"-if the method for counting our votes is extremely vulnerable-and this election may have even been hacked by the Russians-we know they hacked our emails....And while conspiracy theorist's eyes glaze over at the prospect that Trump's election may have Putin's fingerprints all over it.....but the prospect just isn't that remote....and in a twist, Trump's pre-election pronouncements that this election has been "rigged" may have been a pre-warning, from "inside information"....just a random thought....TV personality Chris Hayes on MSNBC [ "All In with Chris Hayes"] several years back said that he trusted the results of our electronic voting because the results paralleled the polls-which this election tossed straight into a cocked hat-AND this is the reason why we all need to get behind Jill Stein in her comprehensive investigation into what actually happened in this election....particularly in the Rust Belt-and while unlikely to change the result--her efforts on behalf of the American people is the highest form of citizenship-a true patriot....
