The Sunday morning sidewalk..
Brought to you by our sponsors: Doom and Gloom industries:

War of the children.. days after three Israeli boys were killed, at least 6 killed a Palestinian boy.. Israel now made arrests as the world watches.. the murder of Mohammad Abu Khdair was most likely a revenge killing for the deaths of Naftali Frenkel and Gilad Shaar, both aged 16, and 19-year-old Eyal Yifrach..
The insanity continues..

America the… violent. At least 32 people shot in big cities over Fourth of July weekend..

Edward Snowden has released some more information.. at this point, either Americans will be completely numb to it or it may finally start to matter: Most of the online accounts that get investigated by the NSA belong to just everyday people.. As a matter of fact, MOST of the information the NSA has did not come from intended targets of investigations..
Even more from the WASHINGTON POST on this… The POST details how the NSA intercepts photographs.. Barton Gellman, Julie Tate, and Ashkan Soltani write, in part: “Scores of pictures show infants and toddlers in bathtubs, on swings, sprawled on their backs and kissed by their mothers. In some photos, men show off their physiques. In others, women model lingerie, leaning suggestively into a webcam or striking risque poses in shorts and bikini tops.” MORE HERE..

A man is in the hospital after too much headbanging at a rock concert made his brain bleed..

Being YOUNG in the United States increases your chances of being jobless.. No more worries about child labor if people stop hiring children.. But young adults, too suffer.. 40% of millennials are out of work.. Generation X isn’t fairing so much better either making up 37% of the unemployed..

Pope Francis says ANY personal relationship with Jesus is dangerous..

SHARK ATTACK! Just SOUTH of Manhattan!

The mood manipulation experiment that Facebook performed on people has everyone really moody.. angry.. annoyed. But there are some other rarely spoken of issues to worry about on Facebook.. And amazing article written by Thomas Claburn at INFORMATION WEEK discusses ten problems in detail.

Joan Rivers is NOT backing down, and refusing to say sorry for calling Michelle Obama a transgender..

Where the moviegoers still go to movies: China.. and because of big numbers, Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS could earn a China box office record.. this is the reason many films are changed and re-thought.. It’s not just an American box office, and China’s numbers mean real business–movies will further attempt to get big audiences across the seas.. Meanwhile in the American box this week: TRANSFORMERS stays 1, TAMMY was 2, 22 JUMP STREET 3, and DELIVER US FROM EVIL 4..

I have written before that if ghosts can figure out how to use technology to create EVPs, it would not be long before they master newer forms of technology.. and now a Romanian woman claims her dead grandmother send her a SELFIE from beyond the grave..

And finally, at this point, enjoy or be sickened by this image.. I thought it was a great way to end today’s Sunday morning sidewalk.

THE DAY AFTER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS.. THE DAY AFTER ANOTHER YEAR BEING OLDER. The national hangover.. America the brave is another year in age..
July 4th seemed a little blue this year, a little down. But maybe that’s just me.
Not just me is the news of the moment, presented here for you in brief link form for your perusing pleasure:

This is an amazing study and important to showcase how much we are changing: People would rather hurt themselves than spend 15 minutes in a room with nothing to do.. that’s what researchers at the University of Virginia and Harvard University concluded after studying 200 people and reactions to being alone.. We are at a point where meditation in the West is dying fast.. 15 minutes alone is not much time.. But we just can’t do it.

Consciousness on-off switch discovered deep in brain..

SIRIUS XM is making some big news for firing Anthony Cumia of the popular “OPIE AND ANTHONY” radio program. He posted a series of racially charged tweets .. He also responded no SIRIUS ..

We all know –or most of us I hope– that oceans are filled with plastic debris. It’s large wastelands of human consumption.. plastic bottles and everything else, like K-Cup pods and toothpaste holders. But the scary part, besides the destruction of beauty on the planet, is this: Plastic is getting into the food chain. Eventually you are always what you eat..

The fans turned on Kanye West in London.. West appeared on stage to perform and wore a full face mask. He reportedly went on a lengthy tirade.. the crowd booed.. Even more: The anarchy in the audience really started as people reportedly began leaving in droves..

In your face, people who wait til 21: Beebs seen partying on the Fourth of July on a private yacht..sipping beer.. showering himself with scantily clad girls.. he has reason to celebrate: The FAA cleared him of his marijuana smoke allegations..

This bizarre world.. Wedding bells for Van Der Sloot: Natalee Holloway murder suspect marries pregnant girlfriend in intimate prison ceremony..

Catholic Archbishop Paul Coakley, head of the archdiocese of Oklahoma City, condemned an upcoming BLACK MASS set for September 21 at the Civic Center Music Hall .. The Archbishop says the Oklahoma City plans is a “blasphemous mockery of the Mass”..

I hate zombie apocalypse jokes .. I equally loathe when the government uses that fake subject as a means to ‘prepare’ for things that may occur. Why can’t they just treat Americans like adults and have us prepare for the REAL THING instead of some fictitious event that will not occur.. But enter this: Now there are Zombie Apocalypse ratings by state. Which state will and will not survive.. Read it and weep..

Authors are uniting against AMAZON.. and they are being backed by Stephen King! This is the story: Stephen King, Nora Roberts and Donna Tartt are among the hundreds of authors who have added their names to an online letter criticizing Amazon.com for restricting access to works published by Hachette Book Group.. It’s a story of very ‘inside baseball’ type of issues.. few understand it.. but big names are in the mix..

Robert Englund returns in THE LAST SHOWING.. US domestic release should be this autumn..

Now go about your weekend activities, parades, fireworks, and celebrations. America is having a long birthday weekend. Be safe and sound.. And watch for Uncle Sam..

It’s my hope that you will have an amazing day, recall the notion  behind America, and watch fireworks blaze as they soar high above your head.. as fireflies take flight and light up the night.

A few odds and ends..

This was the ending of my local town’s fireworks show last night:

Don’t think anyone was hurt, the newspapers today had nothing even about the explosion. It happened during the grand finale.. a massive explosion and the heat from it was actually able to be felt from my family’s position. I posted the photo on Facebook, and someone who is ‘in the know’ with the fire department said “that was awesome!!!”  That leads me only to assume that no one was hurt and it was quite the laugh session.

But to think such a potentially disastrous moment of pyrotechnics is funny is to assume no dangers will ever happen to you. Clearly they never watched the early 1990s Clinton Administration oddity of blowing up mannequins, broadcast on CSPAN and now oin GIF form:

Today is also the first release of a horror movie on the Fourth of July weekend in 30 years–DELIVER US FROM EVIL. It looks amazing and I hope to be able to see it soon.. For those who did see it already, most appear to agree that it’s the best horror movie in decades..

And finally. . . today is the day to sing happy birthday to the nation we love. But why do we love it?
I tried to offer up some analysis on my personal blog of what the Fourth of July means and what it doesn’t.. Have a read.

The spirit of America..
Do we still have it?

Fourth of July eve.. a smattering of news from the planet earth and beyond. Presented without fanfare or fireworks, ragged flags or post-industrial-America consternation. Just the facts ma’am. With random sentences of personal opining thrown in for fun.

Here is what I care about today, and perhaps what you should, too

The East Coast has been watching for a few days.. and now plans will be changed. Tropical Storm Arthur became a hurricane just in time for the Fourth of July.. It wasn’t born on the fourth of July but it will be dangerous on it.. Thus far we know this: The storm is strengthening.. Hurricane hunters have been investigating. The pressure is dropping and winds have increased–80mph, up from 75.. the movement is shifting North Northeast.. The turn is beginning, which promises much of the storm to stay above land and the other portion, the outer bands, to strike the outer banks.. Continue to watch this storm as it develops. Vacationers are fleeing.. A reminder for not only the Fourth of July but also every day if your life: Here are the all important ‘dirty dozen’ food items–the products that should be healthy but have been made awful by modern food conglomerates.. You are probably better off spending the splurge and buying organic when it comes to apples, carrots, green beans and cucumbers.. your long term health may thank you for it.. < Fourth of July thoughts.. maybe after all these 200+ years of American freedom, something has gone awry.. something very violent and dark has entered society’s fabric? Perhaps the decline of America is accelerating. Look no further than this story of a 2-year-old beautiful child named Kamiya French. She was 2. And she was shot in the face as a revenge killing as retribution for an April shooting that wounded three people outside of a night club. You are broken America.. it’s time for a long look in the mirror and a true and deep discussion over what went wrong, why which quickening occurred, and what we can do it about it before the next American birthday makes us all grayer, more violent, more heartless, and more broken. ANOTHER lightning bolt strikes New York City! US warns of ‘specific threat’ at Uganda airport.. It’s been 30 years since a horror movie has been opened at the box office during the Fourth of July weekend. . this year, it’s DELIVER US FROM EVIL, the scary film about a cop in New York City battling demons and paranormal entities. Horror fans have described it as the scariest and best horror movie in decades.. NIKKI FINKE is predicting a number 3 opening for the movie.. Best of the weekend will still be TRANSFORMERS by all accounts.. the almost dominant movie will dominate even more.. Experts predict only $20 mil for DELIVER US FROM EVIL for the weekend. I actually predict that number is too low.. watch for it to move and shake.. Could it be the summer sleeper? The horror movie that could? Yes… fans have tired of the supernatural genre. But this movie seemingly dares to be different.. and if doesn’t work for you, PURGE 2 comes to theaters later in the hot month of July.. WEEKEND THEATER COUNTS: DELIVER US FROM EVIL: 3045 EARTH TO ECHO: 3230 TAMMY: 3465 But consistent: TRANSFORMERS: 4233 strong MORE UPDATES TO COME

The African country where compasses go haywire.. TB CENTRAL: Four more students at Grant Union High School in Sacramento have contracted active TB. Three related tuberculosis cases are considered an outbreak, Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Laura McCasland said.. This is why many people–including me–have some big fears of the future when it comes to drone technology.. Imagine a weird future when drones will be spying on your in your back yard–and those drones will suddenly crash down, revealing the secret mission but not yielding any information as to why you were being watched. It’s not the future, though.. It actually just happened in Brighton, Colorado.. George Ray says that a drone equipped with a camera was taking video of his property .. he heard a beep noise and a sudden crash down. He isn’t sure why a drone would want to film him cutting his lawn, but it was.. The first of many mysteries sure to come as drones begin to beep and click their ways over the free skies of America.. Perhaps this is a story best left for the ‘tin foil’ section of this site, but there was an amazingly fun and scary Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis the other night.. Remember those weird iPhone problems where SIRI would tell us the gates of hades were opening on July 27 2014? We are almost to that date.. and Clyde explained how those gates may actually have been opened. Listen to the show if you get the chance–in the dark would be appropriate. And if you forget the SIRI weirdness from late 2013, here’s a quick video reminder courtesy archived content on YOUTUBE.. An update on our story from Mexico last week of the girl who became ‘possessed’ by using a Quija board.. Turns out she also took a shamanic drug to contact her dead parents.. 26 Japanese school girls fall ill and a mass panic attack is suspected to be the culprit.. According to the strange reports from the Fukuoka Prefecture, the girls became sick during class and school ended up being closed for the rest of the day. Even more: According to Yanagawa High School, a private school in the city of Yanagawa, a first-year student suddenly shrieked in the middle of a class and fell down at about 10 a.m. Two other students in the class fell into a similar state soon afterward, followed by students from other classes who came to check on the incident. Some of the students turned pale, though the exact cause of their sickness was not known.. But forgive me for doubting the ‘mass panic’ explanation.. a brief review of recent history concerning the Fukuoka Prefecture: The atmospheric dose of radiation from Fukushima has been high there.. The Fukushima Diary website also has a tag dedicated to Fukuoka.. .. mass panic sounds like a nice and quaint way of saying something is very wrong and making people very sick.. Interesting place for a strong earthquake: Near New Mexico border. With a nuke plant nearby.. The 11:11 experience: Are you seeing those numbers everywhere?
