President Obama and Assault Within The Military!

                                                                Research shows that there were nearly 6,000 reported cases of sexual assault within the military for this year. That is precisely an 8% jump from the reports of last year. This information was announced by the Pentagon on Wednesday of last week. Considering the percentage of the previous year Military Officials think this is good news. 1 in 10 people reported any assaults are alleged rape two years ago, while this year 1 in 4 came forward with reports. The fact that more service members were able to come and report these incidents they feel as if the members are more trustworthy to the system.  My question is, Are they more trusting to the system or are they just tired of keeping it to themselves and they want to know that the system isn't going to let them down if they do report it? "Chuck Hagel: feels everyone actions will affect not only them, but also the ones around them. Actions can tear

                                                                  With less than two years beneath his belt Chuck Hagel is resigning, He was the only republican on President Obama's team. Hagel claimed he was tired of being pushed around and told what to do, after three visits with president Obama and not being asked to stay he thought it was clear not to continue to push the issue and keep himself where he clearly was not wanted. Hagel seeming as if he was the right man for the job after his years he spent in the arm and the experience he has gained. Now feels like maybe he was not wanted there or accepted. It is said that he did not believed in sending more troops in to Iraq because of the man power that it would cost us. He wanted to actually try to bring more troops home. His resignation was not what he wanted but what he had to do. It is said that he approached president Obama over a week ago about him stepping down and the president did oblige to his request. Then

Image
                                                          For the first time since 2006 the house is becoming dominantly Republicans. Obama staff did not try to hide or butter up the fact that this may cause an issue in the house. In the midst of mid-term election the house is beginning to change for the democrats. The GOP has picked up four senator seats that were previously owned by democrats, when Obama phoned in for the congratulations he had a small surprise awaiting him.                 States such as Iowa, Colorado, North Carolina and Arkansas They were also able to attain 3 more state seats as many expected; seats such as West Virginia, South Dakota and Montana. They also held on to other key seats in Kansas and Georgia. That was more than the six they needed to secure the majority of the house.        Where does this leave the democrats that went out to vote and the ones that did not? When majority rules the upper house it is now an issue for the voices

                                             When is it okay to be a woman in NYC walking down any street? Women within in the city go through harassment on a daily basis and they are supposed to accept it. Is it okay for a man do a cat call at a woman? Do these things that make women uncomfortable walking down the streets of NYC? Where does it end, what should be the limit?  I was able to view two totally different videos depicting what a walk in the NYC streets are like for women. One of the videos was within the view of someone with a narrow mind. The other was with someone more open minded. To do a representation of women and what they go through on whether it is a rough day or a regular day; first you have to take her through different neighborhoods, not just a neighborhood that is a specific race. If you ask me there is already an issue with a video that is made to show you something specific but it's only within certain neighborhoods. Whereas the other vid
