What Burns Our Thirsty Souls

Image
The soul is the place where the life force resides, from the first life breath that began our lifetime to the moment our last and final breath is expelled. This is the most sacred place in the human body; yet all too easily its existence is ignored as it thirsts for the best we can become to materialize. A thirsty soul is the result of ignoring and failing to cultivate the traits that set us apart from other life forms. Compassion, empathy, kindness, sympathy and even remorse for wrong actions all provide the nourishment that refreshes our soul. Our highest consciousness exists within our soul. Ignoring these traits effectively burns our soul, leaving a seared consciousness that has no conscience. No integrity, morality, principles or ethics exist in the person with a seared conscience; the very best any person could be becomes buried in the rubble of resistance to those higher traits. It is against human nature to violate the behaviors that set us above the animal kingdom. Our inst

Trump’s Shot at Cohen’s Father-in-Law Looks an Awful Lot Like Witness Tampering, Dems Say

The relationship between President  Donald Trump  and his former attorney  Michael Cohen  continues to devolve. One new interview has Dems chiding POTUS about possible witness tampering. News that Cohen  will testify before the House Oversight Commmittee on Feb. 7 got Trump to take shots at his former “fixer.” “[Cohen] should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because that’s the one that people want to look at,” Trump  said  Saturday in an interview with Fox News host  Jeanine Pirro . “Because where does that money — that’s the money in the family.

It’s weak and it’s very sad to watch a thing like that.” Trump admitted during the interview that he didn’t know the father-in-law’s name, but it’s  Fima Shusterman . A  Chicago Sun-Times  report showed that he loaned at least $20 million to a cab mogul mentioned in search warrants used by the FBI in

Mueller Is Investigating Trump as a Russian Asset

Friday night, the New York  Times  published a bombshell  report  that the FBI has been investigating whether President Trump “had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.” The story reframes the focus and purpose of the investigation now headed by Robert Mueller. The probe is not just about Russian election interference, or about Trump’s obstruction of the probe — it is about the secret relationship between Trump and Russia that appears to be causing both these things to happen. The first question to ask yourself when absorbing this story is, what does it mean for a president to be working for Russia, and against the United States? Trump frequently says the United States would be better off if it got along better with Russia — and that position, right or wrong, is certainly not criminally suspect. Presidents obviously have the right to change American foreign policy, and to forge friendships with countries that had been previously hostile. Nixon’s overtures t
