Well Golly...Mitt Romney promises to show a spine in Washington!

Well Golly…Mitt Romney promises to show a spine in Washington!

Mitt Romney – A Republican Patriot

Most objective observers, even the ones supporting our current president, realize that this country is fracturing before our eyes.  Any normal behavior we exhibited in the past is falling by the waist side. The sheer coward-like behavior of most current Republican polticians in Congress has put this beautiful country in jeopardy.  Sure, they might only be…

A tale of a hurricane and a President

The sea is calm.  Slowly, white caps skim off the surface as if the ocean is whispering a hint to its neighbors.  Then, before you know it, the massive body of water is churning in circular waves crashing into one another.  Feels like a disruption.  It is worse….its a game changer in the making.

A disaster has begun.  There were…

Kids of America: Go one step further - Boycott school

Kids of America: Go one step further – Boycott school

Schools should only need pens, papers and books, not bullets. Courtesy: David Leveque

Arrogance…a word which describes our collective lack of spine and paralysis on certain issues we should all agree about.  How low have we fallen to come to a point where our kids are shooting targets in their school while the NRA takes unreasonable positions on ANY infringement on the right to bear arms.  The…

Charlottesville first hand report

Charlottesville first hand report

I belong to a number of groups who opposes hate in all its forms.  In my opinion, President Trump is a proponent of hate groups.  His inability to be crystal clear about sub-human people with twisted ideology such as the KKK, Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists will stain his presidency forever.  That verdict is in and he cannot unring the bell.

Since I strongly believe in independent thinking, I…

Today was the saddest day I can remember in my living history of America.

Our President, Donald Trump, the leader of our country, a person who is supposed to heal wounds, showed his moral bankruptcy.

He showed his soul today in the most offensive news conference ever witnessed by the American people.  As he went off the teleprompter…

I have been taking time off writing my blogs while I start to launch my new YouTube Channel premiering early Fall 2017.  I have been focused on my ‘on air’ craft and the type of show I would like to produce.

I can announce today that the name of the show will be “The Scott Morrell Show – In search of the truth in a crazy world.”

And how appropriate that is right now.  I…

Awkward silence in the elevator

Awkward silence in the elevator

stranger in elevator

You are in an elevator.  There is only one person in there.  You are now stuck.

The doors close. You start looking above at the floor numbers from the main lobby through the 24th floor.  You are saying to yourself’ “My gosh, will this ever end?”  Not soon enough.

I got it!  I have an iPhone!  Let me take it out and look at it.  Maybe press a few  buttons, read intensely as if…

The pitfalls of exxagerations

The pitfalls of exxagerations

Life can sometimes be boring and mundane.  For many people they need to spice it up a little and create some juice in their conversations in what they believe is a more colorful and dramatic way to communicate.

If I went to a concert, let’s just say Billy Joel performing at Madison Square Garden, my friends would obviously like to know how it went.  I have two choice before…

Enough with the wind chill temperature

Enough with the wind chill temperature

Its cold out there.  That is enough for me.  I do not have to hear from the weather person that it will be 42 degrees tomorrow but it will feel like 27 degrees.

It has now gone beyond the pale.  When I put on the local weather forecast on the news, it has gotten to a point that they do not even talk about the real temperature!  They now do the five-day forecast with the ‘real’ temperature on top…

Slowly but surely, there has been a degradation of credibility in the words we use.  I fondly remember a time when we said something to our family, friends, and even most strangers, unless one was a pathological liar, in which we could expect the truth to be spoken.  White lies do not count, as those were meant for the receiver’s benefit.

Welcome to the 2016

In 2016, we discovered a powerful wave that has infected our society.  I am not going to gloss over it. We have seen in the past that not dealing with issues only makes them harder to deal with down the line.

In the presidential race that just occurred in which Donald Trump became president elect, many people had to make a conscious decision to allow and accept a level…

The historic manipulation and failure of the media

I was a little kid when I remember watching the evening news on the major networks back in the 1970’s.  We had Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley, with Tom Brokaw just breaking into his own.  We all got around the Zenith television set, some lucky enough to have that clunky remote control that actually turned that tight channel knob.  It was a first chance to…

Our nation's depression is almost over, but with two casualties

Our nation’s depression is almost over, but with two casualties

It’s the waning days of the national election to pick the next President of the United States and most of Congress.  This is a time when most people with exciting ideas get to cast their constitutional right to vote for ourselves and our children’s future.  A time when we can tweak a nation that is no way perfect, but always trying to get one step closer.

The leaves are changing, the air is…

Is "Double Down" the new cliche of the year?

Is “Double Down” the new cliche of the year?

What is going on?  Are we on a blackjack binge?

When I think of a double down, I envision of 5 and 6 at the Blackjack table, putting up double the original bet, and getting one card to hopefully make a 21.  This word has been solely applied to a casino game. No more.  The political media has hijacked a perfectly good game of chance.

So, this all started with a man named Donald Trump.  If he does…
