British Government Is Failing to Govern
British government is failing to govern. July 2019 GET OUT OF EU AND GET ON WITH GOVERNING BRITAIN. The sooner we get a government working on domestic issues, the better, so much sheer stupidity needs sorting, the bureaucrats have had a wonderful free time with all political attention and energy focused on leaving the EU. As a result, the government and the nation urgently needs to make changes, I am sure many things can be listed, but here are a couple.

Reason First: Should Racism Be the Norm?
The government should not be involved in anything that doesn’t involve protecting individual rights. For instance, if a music festival such as AfroFuture Fest wishes to overcharge whites or “non-POCs” or “non people of color,” the state should recognize their right to discriminate. Now, with that being said, whites, people of color, and anyone else with a rational brain in their skull should repudiate the festival and deny monetary support for the organization. The clearly racist act even brought out white supremacists which made this a clusterf–– of irrationalism. AfroFuture’s stupidity in trying to charge white people more than other races should be protected by the government. If they want to be idiotic and boost the price for people lacking a certain concentration of melanin, that’s their business. They should be free to be as bigoted as ever without any worry of force being imposed against them. The group extended that price break to “Black and Brown people.” But what about red, yellow, and yes, white people? Shouldn’t the color green be the ruling hue in this whole mess? Artist Tiny Jag, a person of color, denounced AfroFuture for their dim-witted actions. She took to Twitter to voice her disdain for the vicious ideas that AfroFuture has espoused. The young artist clearly said that she will not be playing the event and that their actions, “don’t reflect the views of the Tiny Jag Team.”

Ageism
Ageism. Is this a real problem or a media creation? Is there really conflict between youth and age? The media is fond to claiming that young people blame the older generation for the sorry state of the world. It never seems to credit the same older people, with anything that is good. The media is filled with claims that younger people want the older generation out of “power” so they can take over and make the world a better place. Whenever there is an issue, from Britain leaving the EU to road traffic accidents, the media proclaims that it is old people causing problems for younger ones.

Pre-Determined Destinies
Of all our founding fathers it was Thomas Jefferson who understood that education was vital for the preservation of our liberty. He also knew that the abuses of power would undermine, and eventually destroy, the republic. Today, too many of our elected officials are out of control. Case in point: the Trump Administration. It is our education that is fundamental for the preservation of our heritage. But too much of that has been omitted. For over one hundred years, America continues to operate on fiction of law. What we mean by fiction of law is when, "something known to be false is assumed to be true." This is stated by Ryan v. Motor Credit co., 130 N.J.Eq. 531,23 A.2d 607,621. "That statute which would deprive a citizen of the rights of person or property without a regular trial according to the course and usage of common law, would not be the law of the land."

America
America is indeed a melting pot. This concept can be seen in our everyday lives. The one thing that is most unique is the people within the United States. America wouldn't be the way it is without immigrants and without the different cultures that clash together. Through this clashing, there have been many unique and amazing food options. It has also changed many concepts such as music, family, art, etc. It is what makes each and every single one of us unique and amazing.

The California State Legislature
The California State Legislature is made up of the California State Assembly and 80 members. The California State Senate has 40 members, with both houses of the legislature convening at the California State Capitol in Sacramento. I want to serve the California State Legislature as a member someday because it is one of ten full-time state legislatures in the United States. The State assembly consists of 61 Democrats, and 18 Republicans with one vacancy, while the Senate is composed of 29 Democrats, and 11 Republicans. There was a brief period between 1995 and 1996 where Republicans ran the show, the Democrats have run the California Assembly since the 1970 election.

Why the EU Has to Go
Why the European Union should be broken up. The existing EU organisation is a failure, if viewed only from the perspective of the majority of indigenous people. It is a success to those who are, or have been, employed by it, those making money from the various reported frauds, which extract money from it and it is a success, to those politicians who have gained power from it.

New Build Houses Are Destroying Our Countryside
We all know one, that person that lives in a new build house, on the outskirts of a town or city, with a field in view. They wear Hunter wellies that have never been dirty, drive a brand new Range Rover with lowered suspension and road tyres and have everything 'country style' in their home.

Drug Epidemic
Most of us remember the tragic event of 9/11. Some of us even had friends and family who were impacted by this event. Thousands died in the event and there are probably still some unknown deaths. Imagine having a 9/11 event every 17 days. That is how many people die from drug overdose DAILY...
