Nuclear Accord With Iran Opens Diplomatic Doors in the Mideast

Nuclear Accord With Iran Opens Diplomatic Doors in the Mideast


                 President Obama does the agreement with Iranian leaders for the safety of his country. However, I'm not sure if he consider the consequences of this agreement. U.S. might be safe from any risk that could accord from Iran, but what about the other country that do not support the agreement. Obama is risking to lose alliance with European countries; France, Germany,  and Russia. Does this agreement worth all that?

The health care fix won't work

The health care fix won't work




                        In the Age of Obama, I think even the congress don't know which kind of laws they pass, they cannot think and consider the consequences.  they mostly think about themselves huge pension and free healthcare.

When American dream is denied over color over skin


When American dream is denied over color over skin







Something is wrong with this nation. If you cross other nations border illegally you will face at least 10 years, or jailed indefinitely, and some nations no one will heard about you anymore. However, if you cross the USA Border illegally you get a job, great benefits such as free health care and most literature written in your language, you can fly your own countries flag while thumbing your nose at the laws of the USA, then march on Washington demanding your rights.  what a great country!

Double Indemnety-review


Billy Wilder director and writer of the movie Double Indemnity, He worked into films as a screenwriter in 1929, and wrote scripts for many German films until Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. Then he emerged to the U.S. His experience with German movies gave his American “German expression”, which gave his movie Double Indemnity disreputable character. The main prominent in Double Indemnity are Fred MacMurray as the insurance company agent, Barbara Stanwyck as the femme fatal, and Edward G. Robinson as the insurance company detective. The movie took a place in the 1940, and the genre of movie could be more than one and they are Crime, Drama and Film Noir (black & white movie) which mostly everyone in the movie corrupted and dishonest.

The story started with the prominent MacMurray, he insurance company agent, entering his work building and he did not look well. He recorded himself convincing murder a person, and then he told how the story started. His story started when he wanted to visit a client to sign an insurance paper, but he found the wife instead. The wife is the femme fatal and she talked to the insurance company agent and gave him hint about killing her husband. They planned to kill the husband and hide the evidence from the company insurance detective.  

One magnificent aspect of the movie is that the narrative and flashback. The movie started in the last scene and the prominent star Fred MacMurray started telling his story from the beginning, how he met the femme fatale and how they together planned to kill her husband and claim the life insurance money.

Other aspects of the movie are lighting and camera angel. The lighting used is low key, dark and have high contrast, the reason for that to show the movie realistic. The Dutch angle used a lot in the movie and corner angle, the reason of that is to show the world is corrupted.

Overall, this movie could be hard to follow because of the plot structure. The structure somehow could not be clear for the viewer because it is different plot structure than the normal structure that other movie had. But I found that a master piece could not be done in movies today. Not necessary because of its story, but because of the cinematography, lighting, and the way the story itself told.

Postal Service to Make Sunday Deliveries for Amazon


Postal Service to Make Sunday Deliveries for Amazon





The United States Postal Service failed to get congressional approval to stop delivering mail on Sunday, and it has deal with Amazon to deliver the company’s packages on Sundays. Because last year the USPS lost nearly $16 billion, that will help USPS to take some businesses from other Postal service. Kelly Cheeseman, a spokeswoman for Amazon, said that, “Now every day can be an Amazon delivery day.” The USPS expected to make $186 billion. I think one more day won’t be that harmful, but it might take down some competition, when the other postal services lose their costumers.

Cut in Food Stamps Forces Hard Choices on Poor




Cut in Food Stamps Forces Hard Choices on Poor





Millions of poor Americans rely on food stamps money to pay their home rent and food. Congress made the largest cut in the food stamp program since started 1964, which affect more than 47 million people who rely on food stamp. The congress has dropped $11 from the program. Christopher Bean, the executive director of a Bronx food pantry, said that about 60 new families had visited the pantry in the past week because their food stamps had been cut. It has been just a few days and the poor people already suffering. However, to the government this mean saving $5 billion in the next year. The record showed that food stamps cost 78.4 billion in 2012. Food stamps are probable will be cut more in the coming years if Congress can agree on a new farm bill. The government should cut the program that aid some foreign countries such as Africa, and keep helping its own citizen. Also, the government should provide jobs with good income for these poor people.
