Today is Veterans Day!
Earlier I watched an interview with Gary Sinise. The movie Forrest Gump is a rated R movie so my parents had the movie, but they kept it up out of our hands.

The Speaker Vote
Fortunately with the seriousness of the Israeli Attack our lawmakers seem to be taking this as they promised to. A candidate has been selected behind closed doors with a secret ballot. Still this is not the final vote. Rep. Steve Scalise has been tallied to have been the winner of this secret ballot. Yet like…
