On The Eve of Labor Day weekend: On Our World & Renewal (Thoughts)

It has been another "whirlwind" of a week throughout #Outsider properites as I worked to facilitate and support releases before the decision was made to "go dark" for the labor day weekend.

It has also been a bit of a distressing week around the World.   The team finsihed its' latest notations on the plight of refugees.   This is as I just reviewed reports from the United Arab Emirates that 22 of its' soldiers were killed fighting the Houthi rebels in Yemen.     The team has also been continuing its' assessment of the US Election scene with the rise of Trump, the moves by the GOP and the Democrats.   The interview by NBC's Andrea Mitchell with Hillary Rodham Clinton was telling in terms of some of the potential reset for her campaign.

I went out to   Huntington Beach yesterday and had the pleasure to meet with Congressman Rohrabacher.  He was gracious enough to spend almost 40 minutes with me on the Iran Deal.     We reflected upon the horrors of the Middle East today and he was gracious enough to share his reflections of his visit to Palmyra as the World is witness to the continued carnage of the Daesh Gang (referred to as IS/ISIL In the West)  in Syria and Iraq.          

Although he is opposed to the deal, I was ever so gratified as he underscored how an attack with Iran will be a profound mistake.      As a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, his voice matters and I was gratified to hear it.

I was awe struck as I left his office with this image of Ronald Reagan which I wanted to share here: 

It is also a strength of America that Ronald Reagan reminded the World of:
