Sometimes in life there are things you need to know but don't really want to hear. Why? They are inconvenient realities. The movie *[Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party](http://hillarysamericathemovie.com/)* unveils these inconvenient realities. If you thought that the Democratic Party was bad, it's worse. If you thought that Hillary was corrupt, she's more frightening than you can imagine. If the comments of William Peter Blatty, author and producer of *The Exorcist*, aren't intriguing, I don't know what is. He says about the film, "Utterly terrifying — and based on a true story."
Just as Lewis Carroll's Alice fell down a rabbit hole and spent many bizarre adventures wandering through Wonderland, America has also found herself a bit lost in her own upside down, completely absurd and dreadfully confusing Wonderland. This week's events surrounding Hillary Clinton's investigation by the FBI are simply added chapters to America's "very curious" rabbit hole journey. While the critics of Hillary Clinton's investigation protest that authorities are diving into her personal life, or simply trying to persecute her for being a woman, the chief concerns are facts, justice and the rule of law.
Late last week, the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK) voted to leave the European Union, a governing body comprised of 28 countries in Europe. As we examine the issues surrounding Brexit, it is useful to understand the history and the power struggles within this governing body. Beginning in 1952 with the countries of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, the European Union sought to unite the countries across Europe for trade and other cooperative efforts. The United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark joined in 1973, followed by Greece, Portugal and Spain in the 1980s. Austria, Finland, and Sweden became members in the 1990s, while the 2000s welcomed Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Croatia's 2013 membership has been the most recent addition.
In light of the recent Obama Bathroom Edict and ensuing law suits by eleven states, it is a fair question to ask, "Is being a man or a woman really reduced to where you go to the bathroom?" Do external circumstances dictate internal biology? Does standing in a garage make you a car?
