Apologies all around for closing out 2015 early, but after reviewing this year’s postings and podcast, America’s most critical issues have already been addressed. And from this observer’s perspective, the simplest solution to most of those critical issues is America overcoming its fears. If the United States would simply grow a pair, Americans could stop being afraid all the time. Americans seem to be afraid of almost everyone. Americans are even afraid of themselves.

Now that the Black Lives Matter issue has gained enough attention to make a cop think twice before pulling the trigger, we should use this opportunity to take a look at the next demographic that's found itself in America's crosshairs. The American Muslim.

Imagine sitting at a bus stop, standing on a train platform or walking down the street when someone starts shooting or stabbing people randomly. What would you think? Imagine sitting in traffic waiting for the signal to proceed when some maniac starts ramming his car into others and mowing pedestrians down with no regard for human life. What would you say? Imagine if the rumors of an Islamic Plague were true, what would you do?For those who imagine such scenarios , Donald J. Trump has a plan to save America from being overrun by Muslim Zombies. Donald Trump has personally seen people of the Muslim faith change overnight from peace loving hardworking family oriented Americans, into blood craving lunatics, hellbent on killing infidels. Donald Trump has captured and trapped infected Muslims in the basement of one of his many mansions. They’re being held for observation. According to Donald Trump, there are no signs, symptoms or warnings. And at this time, there is no cure.

As President Obama continues to promote and prosecute his strategy against ISIS/ISIL in Syria Iraq and beyond with air strikes, intelligence gathering, special operations, regional coalition building and beefing up homeland defenses against internal threats, more needs to be done to assist in undermining ISIS/ISIL as a threat. While the president will eventually realize marginal results from bombing oil fields, disrupting supply chains and thus choking off economic resources, his strategy won't choke off ISIS/ISIL's human resources.

Loretta Lynch's announcement of the Justice Department's planned investigation into pattern and practices of the Chicago police was so meticulously articulated and so narrowly focused its difficult to envision the people of Chicago ever seeing their civil rights respected, let alone protected. By the time the U.S. Attorney General had finished her longwinded self-serving presentation of the DOJ's intent to intervene, this observer was struck by how little that intervention would actually accomplish. The entire presentation was no more than an artful dodge.

While observing President Obama address the nation about the global threat ISIS/ISISL poses to humanity and his strategy for confronting it, it became apparent, just how many fronts this war against religious extremism must be fought. Wisely avoiding the "Western way of life" vs. Islam narrative his critics have embraced, the president appealed for calm and common sense. He acknowledged the nation's concerns moving forward, while assuring the fearful the United States and its allies were fully engaged with the enemy.

It must have been a bittersweet celebration after Rahm Emmanuel won reelection for mayor of Chicago April past. Because after the congratulations died down, a nice dinner, a great bottle of wine and some long overdue quiet time with family, the bloodied skeletons hidden in his closet began to rattle. To know his corrupt to the core police department could be exposed at any moment had to have weighed heavily on his mind.

When the city of Chicago finally surrendered the highly incriminating video tape of Laquan McDonald's death by cop, everyone involved must have known a shitstorm of epic proportions was on its way. Every cop responding that fateful night of October 20th 2014 to the intersection of 41st. Street and Pulaski Rd. is now reliving and reviewing the event endlessly. They're wondering how they're going to answer the Feds when the tough questions are finally asked. Will they rat to salvage their careers or will they hold the Blue line?

Oh, what a tangled web we weave: When first we practice to deceive. Had Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel taken a lesson from former N.Y. congressmen Anthony Weiner, he might have handled his last chance to do the right thing differently. The minute Mayor Emmanuel stepped up to the microphone to field questions regarding the video tape of Laquan McDonald’s death, he should’ve been prepared to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. And the truth was simple: He F#%ked up. F#%king up is forgivable, lying about it is not.

Anyone who'd take the time to monitor the racial climate in America will quickly find the temperature has risen appreciably in the last eight years. Similar to the earth's climate change, the racial climate in America is showing clear and irrefutable evidence of racial hostilities heating up between Whites and Blacks. And similar to the earth's climate change, there will be those who'll deny that clear and irrefutable evidence as it stares them straight in the face.
