I wrote GOOD in all capital because there is more of good than bad and ugly in Freaky Ali. The Good comes in various levels.

It has a beautiful … Continue reading The GOOD, The Bad and The Ugly of Freaky Ali
I made two posts on Facebook regarding Mother Teresa’s Canonization. Both was not rejoicing on it but raising an opinion on how farcical and stupid it is.

My … Continue reading Thoughts on Mother Teresa’s Canonization

Another mass shooting at a gay nightclub by a muslim man who had called 911 and mentioned his allegiance to ISIS. Authorities are still figuring if it is ISIS directed or ISIS inspired.
