Today I came across a list of supporters, who are also celebrities in one form or another, which backed President Chump, Oops I mean Trump, during the general election. After reading the list, I actually became prouder of the fact that I didn’t vote for him. Let’s look at some of the names on the list. Kanye West – YES! This was the name that began the list! Need I say more? Kirstie Alley – I’m surprised that she was …

Scott Hughes: Sanctions and North Korea
Just when I think that our current Presidential Administration couldn’t get any worse, I’m again proven wrong. The bar set by our previous Presidents has most definitely been lowered by this buffoon. This is one of the many examples of why I pray that this President will be a 1 termer. I just hope that we can all survive these 4 years. Answering the question “what is Scott talking about this time,” allow me to share my thoughts that are …
Scott Hughes: The War on Drugs in America
In 1971, President Richard Nixon signed into law “The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act” otherwise known as “The War on Drugs.” My question is, how’s the war working out? We hear about some form of addiction, or actions that result from addictions, on a daily basis but how much do we really know about this war? During the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, information was reported to the American People almost on a daily basis. We know the costs …
Scott Hughes: The Twitter and The Trump
When Trump was elected does anyone remember what his first major issue and debate was? If not, allow me to tell you. It was whether or not he had more people come to his inauguration than President Obama. This is really true. I asked then, “what difference does that make and who gives a&*%#?” With all of the important issues it seemed somewhat ridiculous and childish to even mention that in public. Earlier today, I asked the same question. Who …
Scott Hughes: Talk Radio With No Substance
Recently, I listened to a local radio show here in Henderson. At the risk of sounding negative, I wasn’t at all impressed with what I heard. Had it not been early in the day, it would have probably put me to sleep. I’m sure that they run out of things to talk about and if a caller doesn’t call in to bring up a topic, they are, for the most part, stagnant. Media sources are valuable resources for the community …
Scott Hughes: The Real Definition of Economic Socialism
Mr. Webster tells us that Capitalism is “an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods.” He goes on further to say “investments are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.” When my eyes are reading those words, my brain is telling me “blah blah blah.” My personal definition of capitalism is less favorable than Mr. Webster’s and I believe there …
Scott Hughes: Socialism vs. Capitalism
Recently, during a discussion about politics that I was having with another individual, I asked the man what he thought Socialism was. His reply did not surprise me at all because what he said was what I’ve heard many times before. We are in the South East and it seems that ideas like Socialism, for whatever reason, are taboo. I responded to him objectively and told him what Socialism really is in regards to commerce and the workforce. His definition …
Scott Hughes: 9/11 – Their Truth Versus The Real Truth
September 11th of 2001 was by for one of the worst days in American History. Many lives were needlessly lost and other lives changed forever. Any way you look at it, the attacks were bad. There are multiple ideas as to who was responsible but, regardless of who the culprit was, by the very definition of terrorism, it was a terrorist attack. I want to make clear that I, in no way, am trying to minimize the damage done during …
