"How Do You Know" stars Reese Witherspoon as a baseball player and Olympic athlete, who is dropped from the national team, much to her distress. She begins dating a womanizing baseball player in Washington, DC, who she unwisely moves in with, without the benefit of a marriage.

Disasters comes next, as she realizes how selfish he can be. During the fighting, she continually confides in an executive she met, who is in legal hot water, thanks to his unscrupulous dad. I found this film very difficult to watch. No, not cause I’m dumb, because I’m not, but because the movie is quite tedious.

The well-known names starring in this film, Jack Nicholson and Reese Witherspoon, could not bring butts into movie theatres to see this disaster on celluloid and there is a reason for that. It is not a good or entertaining movie. Actually, it’s quite irritating. Seriously, this movie was bad.

The only thing funny and interesting about this film is Sony spent $120,000,000 to make the movie and only made $47,707,151 of that money back (and that's before taxes). Comedy indeed.

Obama Gearing Up To Spend More Money

Barack Obama

Rumblings in Washington indicate, U.S. President Barack Obama, is gearing up to undertake even more unnecessary spending, despite the fact the S&P flashed him a massive warning to put the breaks on the cash spree.

The U.S. deficit is the highest it has ever been. Congressional Budget Office calculators are crashing and malfunctioning under the strain, but the President is still prepping new, frivolous spending plans and continues to funnel money to costly and unnecessary projects.

Why is it so difficult to cut the national budget and actually stop spending money on frivolities that do not promote financial health. Is it going to take a catastrophe to make the government stop such fruitless spending. The Obama Administration is behaving like a shopaholic and the U.S. Congress continues to increase its credit limit on money the nation doesn't have to blow.

As a result of the ongoing financial crisis, I see so much suffering in America everyday, as I am not out of touch like the Administration and Congress (yes, I went there). It is painfully obvious, if the government earnestly ended the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, cutting their funding and used the money in America instead, life would be exponentially better for Americans.

Productive Americans (some with children) that lost their jobs and homes, are becoming homeless at an increased rate, yet the government sees no need to bring the money back home. How can Washington not have money to help them, but can buy thousands of tomahawk missiles for $1,000,000 each.

Some government workers paychecks are being cut and this wouldn't be so bad if it were the people earning higher salaries. No, it's the lower income government workers that are seeing their pay checks reduced and they feel it the most. If you are making $10,000 - $15,000 per year and the government reduces your pay by up to 30%, you will have significant trouble making ends meet.

The government workers that can stomach pay cuts are those making $70,000 - $100,000 per year. They won't go hungry. However, to target lower income government workers, under the guise of tightening the belt in a crisis, is a lot to ask.

Another area the government is wasting money that could be better spent elsewhere is the exorbitant budgets the FBI, CIA, DOJ and Pentagon receive. One can understand giving a decent budget to Homeland Security to protect the nation's borders, but as I see it, the FBI, CIA, DOJ and Pentagon, get up to so much mischief in the nation and the world, they are being given lavish sums to create preventable problems for everyone.

News out of Washington indicates, a plane carrying U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama, wife of President Barack Obama, was diverted, after almost colliding with a 200-ton military cargo jet in neighboring Maryland. The First Lady's plane was attempting to land at Andrews Air Force Base.

Obama: Somebody's gonna get fired!

Though the incident seems quite suspicious, an air traffic controller is being blamed for the error. This could not have come at a worst time, as air traffic controllers are under intense scrutiny in America for falling asleep on the job. The ongoing scandal lead to the resignation of an FAA executive.

Unemployment And Inflation Rise In America

Barack Obama

Contrary to what the Obama Administration has stated, America has not come out of the recession, which is actually a depression. The economy has not stabilized, evidenced by growing job losses, inflation and the deficit spiraling out of control.

It’s a cruel thing to do in lying to the nation and the world, when people are still suffering under the same financial woes that have worsened. President Obama was warned when he first took office that he could not use the taxpayers money to buy his way out of the financial crisis, but he tried to anyway and it has created a bigger mess.

Clinton To Congress On Libya: Butt Out

Barack Obama

U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, made very arrogant and dismissive statements regarding President Barack Obama's war in Libya, basically telling Congress to buzz off. Under U.S. law, Congress must greenlight all wars. However, the Obama Administration chose to skip this legal step in favor of a sneak invasion that is costing American taxpayers over $500,000,000 per week.

The CIA, DOD and FBI have gotten their hooks into President Obama and have led him astray. If the President believed his conduct was correct, why skip congressional confirmation and approval, as stipulated by law.

Walmart Sex Discrimination Lawsuit At Unsympathetic Supreme Court

According to ABC News, the U.S. Supreme Court, looked at Walmart employees with great skepticism for filing suit against the retail giant for sexual discrimination. The Judiciary Report is concerned Walmart employees are not going to get a fair shake at the Supreme Court, who usually sides with the rich.

However, employee after employee at Walmart are telling the same story, of men being paid twice as much and being promoted over females. This cannot be a coincidence, but culture at the company. Everyone should be treated equally in the workplace. Advancement should solely be based on achievement, not gender.

Obama's Doubletalk On Libya Means America Is Negotiating With Terrorists

There's No Way To Pretty It Up

Barack Obama

America has an official policy that states the nation, "Does not negotiate with terrorists." However, reports have surfaced today, regarding U.S. President, Barack Obama, doing just that, as he has signed a "secret order" authorizing the CIA to aid rebels in Libya, fighting against President Muammar Gadhafi.

As reports from the rebels revealed last week, their makeshift military contains Al Qaeda members. Yes, the same Al Qaeda the U.S. government officially branded the worst terrorist group in the world for the past several years. The same Al Qaeda politicians in Washington and the White House have repeatedly called the enemy. Now all of a sudden they're best buddies.

Muammar Gadhafi

What did I tell you. Just yesterday the Judiciary Report wrote of the CIA's role in this war as, "Libya and Iraq also have two other things in common the CIA and DOD are after like drug addicts to cocaine. Both are oil rich Muslim nations, which means killing two birds with one stone. Get the oil and murder the Muslim extremists is said agencies mantra."

This is so tragic. The irony and hypocrisy are also quite galling. It's only a matter of time before the CIA and the Libyan rebels turn on each other and violently so, but how much will it cost scores of innocent American and Libyan civilians in collateral damage.

What Will Be The Tea Party's Impact On The 2012 Elections

The White House in Washington, D.C.

It will be interesting to see what the American Tea Party movement, does to the vote in the forthcoming presidential and congressional elections in 2012. They have certainly galvanized the Republican base with a collective grassroots campaign that drove many voters to the polls.

Democrats are strategizing as well, after the "shellacking" they were subject to last year. Frustration with the economy is driving much of the discontent in America and understandably so, as people need jobs to provide for their families. The American way of life has been turned upside down through financial hardship.
