    Sad to read this, Glenn Frey, a former member of Eagles is Gone, at 67yrs old?
    Wow. RIP

    Bowie, Cole and Frey all in their 60s.

      My brother just texted me this - Alan Rickman, and I saw on FB, Stephen Levine, a large group of powerful Souls crossing in a short space of time! I pray this is a good sign the Veil will be coming down SOON! As far as I’m concerned, it’s Time. Be at Peace, Anchor the Light. Be ready. Big hugs all around. <3 There is nothing to fear.

    This is my problem with Bernie. http://nypost.com/2016/01/16/dont-be-fooled-by-bernie-sanders-hes-a-diehard-communist/

    I apologize for posting if this was posted earlier. Great read.

      This is exactly WHY the GOP wants Bernie for their opponent. They will hit him and saddle all Dem candidates with his communist past. The American people won’t go along with this history.

      The 2016 presidential campaign alternate reality we’re dealing with:

      2 Corinthians, a Communist, and Trump walked into a bar …

    My excitement about Deray and Quincy Jones just got buzz killed when I heard rabid Obama-hater Patricia Heaton is also on the show. 😒

    Just before bed tonight I watched a replay of the Merv Griffin Show from 1967 with an extended interview with both Harry Belafonte and Dr. King. It was fascinating and I wish I could find it in YouTube form to share. Dr. Kings words on how non-violent protestors were being blamed for causing the violence being committed against them was, unfortunately timeless.

    His words also perfectly describe how PBO gets blamed for “the current divisiveness” etc. PBO made every possible effort to reach out and compromise. He and his family’s mere presence in the White House has angered and frightened a lot of people (who were formerly able to hide their racism) who have lashed out with words and/or actions that reveal that ugliness that too many pretend wasn’t there all along. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but just had to share my thoughts.

    BTW, I also noticed that Harry Belafonte was mighty fine in 1967 ;-)
