Money Changers in the Temple: Tel Aviv redefines itself as Gay Capital of the World
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL (Catholic Online) - Just over a week ago, François Hollande signed a law which utterly destroyed the concept of marriage as it was known in France since medieval times. Under the law, two individuals of the same sex may now call themselves "married." Vincent Autin, 40, and Bruno Boileau, 29, were the first homosexual couple to get married under the new law. For their honeymoon, they visited Israel. The media followed the couple as though they were celebrities. They were invited to the opening event of Tel Aviv's Gay Pride Month. In honor of the event, the pillars on the Old City Hall were lit up in rainbow colors with trance music blaring from speakers.-more

The President's Strategy (2007)
August 05, 2007
Back in 2007, President George W. Bush was dealing with the Middle East by sending weapons to one set of terrorists in hopes that they would use them against another group of Islamists. Now, with the slaughter in Syria out of control, has another President decided to adopt the same strategy of sending weapons to one set of terrorists for use against another?

Invading Our Privacy!
Folks are outraged by the loss of "privacy". Our governments, our phones, our compouters, and, of course, all the swell free apps we download to our "devices" ...are all snooping on us and delivering the "data" they collect back to their masters (whoever or whatever that is!)

What's in a Name?
And the Western media followed it as if it were a real election. Amazingly, Iranian anti-government voters demonstrated their power by selecting one unlikely candidate and throwing their support behind him in such numbers that they actually elected him!. Meanwhile, the "Supreme Leader" continues to pull the strings.

UN Peacekeepers
It's like watching a bad old movie we've seen before! Meanwhile, while we're waiting to see what happens next with Syria (93,000 dead so far, and Assad threatening to open a war with Israel) . . . the Jerusalem Post ran a nice piece about me. Check it out at: drybonesproject.com/jpost I don't know if it'll make you feel better, but it did wonders for my disposition!

I'm old enough to remember when they used actual wire recorders when they did wire-tapping. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
