Firestorm

Border enforcement and control at the major points of entry and exit on the southern border between the United States and Mexico, had long been largely left alone throughout the decades, aside from a few flare ups, that is until the 1990s. However, it was the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, which would become the fuel waiting to be ignited in the coming decade. While, IRCA was intended to solve illegal immigration issues, along with other associated…

Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Sunday bristled at the notion that her boss, President Donald Trump, is racist. “I take a little offense to allegations that the president is racist,” Nielsen said during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.” Trump sparked a firestorm of criticism this week when he reportedly questioned why the U.S. accepted immigrants from “shithole countries” in Africa as well as from Haiti and El Salvador during an immigration reform meeting with lawmakers at the White House. The…

dropped 500 tons of explosives, 33,000 combustible bombs and several parachute mines on the industrial city of Coventry. Fire-fighters managed to put out the first fires but other hits trailed the first and rapidly new fires broke out causing a firestorm. Telephone networks were destroyed, hindering the fire service's command and control and making it tough to send fire-fighters to the most dangerous blazes. About 4,300 houses were destroyed and about two-thirds of the city's buildings were…

“Ebola is a rather simple virus- as simple as a firestorm. It kills humans with efficiency and with a devastating range of effects.” (Preston. R. 1994, New York.) The quote is from the book The Hot Zone Richard Preston and the ebola virus is kinda like Scfi in my mind. When you think of Scifi you think of awful scary things that could wipe out the whole human population. Thats what ebola is, but its real. Science fiction or Scfi is something that is fictional that uses future technological…

of issues that befell them so quickly. There were even accounts of people hoarding the old Coke with some reselling it on the black market. During this time the company board of directors had apparently also been keeping tabs with the erupting firestorms and the financial repercussions that would shortly ensue. As a result of the turmoil caused by the simultaneous launching of New Coke and jettisoning of the old Coke, the board of directors voted to bring back the original formulation…

A Kindred Spirit A Kindred spirit I've found. Soft, gentle eyes of darkest brown betray the torment within. To be alone with you, if only for a moment- to see inside the man who’s dark, haunting, incredibly beautiful poetry, soothes my soul when put to song. To hold him in my arms would feel good- we are two souls, connected, tortured, haunted by the darkness of the world around us. Writing about it, keeps it at bay - his voice, encapsulating the thoughts of us unbalanced ones, that hang by a…

in eye-catching colors and neon lights. Nature was slightly more subdued; somewhat monochromatic, yet varied in understated tones of grey, brown, and green. Color is hard to come by, now, with the exception of flame and blood. Rampant fires and firestorms consumed forests and cities long ago, and everyday continue to demolish what was once taken for granted. From the fall of ashes and soot, the world is grey, and waterways are black. Remnants of hydrangeas, wild orchids, and daisies stand…

In the article “Six Myths about Campaign Money”, Eliza Newlin Carney argues that there are six myths regarding money’s real role in politics, each with a hint of truth. Newlin argues that it is a myth that corporate money will now overwhelm elections because neither unions nor corporations will put vast new resources into campaigns because they could spend their money on politics, through issue advertising with limited constraints, before the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling…

all as a bunch of rules and standards they will be forced to meet. But anyone truly living for God will tell you the value in having a relationship with God is knowing when you make the wrong choice, when you take the wrong road and end up in a firestorm, you have a relationship with the One who can lead you out and help you make a better choice the next…
