Even at 50, Barry’s still the youngest candidate heading into the 2012 presidential elections!

President Barack Obama marked his 50th birthday at the White House on Thursday. It was the second day of celebrations for the president. Continue reading ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’
Politics these days are getting strange. For decades there have been open concerns in congress about the growing national debt, but there has never been a serious moment when the fears of our debt would potentially endanger the world markets. Many congressmen have gone on record posturing that they wouldn’t support a raise on the debt ceiling, but they only do this sort of thing after they know that their one vote won’t affect an eventual raise.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Donald Trump, one of the many prospective candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, has had a tough couple of weeks. Up until late April, Trump had been tied for 1st or leading in the polls against his primary opponents. He was seen as the bold fresh face needed to inject enthusiasm into an otherwise milquetoast field of nominees. He was unafraid of calling out the “mysteries” surrounding the birth of President Obama, and his public persona as a successful multibillion dollar businessman gave him potential crossover appeal (at least within conservative circles). His media blitz across the network news channels did a lot of good for him, but something dramatic stopped that: Obama began his reelection campaign and started fighting back.

It has been almost ten years since the 911 attacks. It was 1993 when bin Laden first attacked Americans on American soil at the World Trade Center. The relationship between the US and the greatest terrorist of all has been long and emotional. Is he dead? That is what everyone wants to know and what they want to believe. The body is gone, buried in the Arabian Sea. bin Laden was not armed when the Navy Seals confronted him? The only people who know were sitting in the situation room watching and the assault team. Will the video or pictures be released, only the White House knows. bin Laden was shot in the head and the chest. The head was lopped off the snake. In one swift moment revenge for the 3,000 lives lost on September 11th was extracted. Was an eye for an eye the right thing to do? That debate will be waged for generations to come. Continue reading ‘Osama bin Laden Is Dead?’
Recently the 2012 Presidential campaign kicked off and the setting for the race couldn’t be more perfect for a conservative challenger… in theory. President Obama was hovering around his lowest approval ratings, the Tea Party fueled GOP continued to dominate the economic debate after their successful 2010 midterms, and the majority of the conservative Presidential aspirants were getting largely free advertising on the top rated cable news network: Fox News. These factors should have laid the tracks for a major comeback for a conservative minded moderate, but no one expected this wrench in the plans: the wild card Donald Trump. Continue reading ‘The Don Vs. The President Of The United States’
Make Mine Freedom, an early Hannah Barbara cartoon produced by Harding College in 1948, is Cold War propaganda promoting capitalism and critiquing the Soviet Union. After an introductory explanation of the concept of freedom, four men representing labor, management, politics and farmers argue until a salesman steps in, peddling bottles of “Ism” (Communism) and claiming that it will cure everyone’s ills. A man who has been eavesdropping from a park bench approaches and argues against the salesman’s pitch. Will Capitalism win out over the evils of Communism? Watch Make Mine Freedom to find out! Happy July 4th from TomorrowPictures.TV!
Lena Horne was beautiful, talented, smart and driven. According to author James Gavin, she was also bitter, haunted, and ultimately disappointed with the way her life turned out. Gavin’s biography of the singer, “Stormy Weather”, traces her life from the projects of Brooklyn in 1917 through the pinnacle of her life as a headlining entertainer and member of the “black bourgeoisie”. Throughout her life she fought racism where ever she found it, and ultimately became one of the most respected and beloved women in America. Ms. Horne died at New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday at the age of 92. Here’s the lovely lady singing one of her many hits, ”That Man of Mine”. Rest in Peace…
Culture is a system of symbols that is learned and shared through generations of a social group. Culture is a process that influences what people perceive and guides people’s interactions with each other. Culture is the prism through which we view ourselves. In America, like perhaps no other nation on the planet, cultural change happens swiftly and from many different directions, and managing cultural growth can be one of our most challenging tasks as a society. In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, we thought we’d revisit a UCLA lecture series on the growing challenges of health care in a more Latin America. TomorrowPictures.TV is proud to present Dr. David Hayes-Bautista, Professor of Medicine and Director of the UCLA Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture, speaking to students at the David Geffen School of Medicine on Defining Health Policy for the Latino Community in America. Watch Part Two and Part Three!
Freedom Day is a South African public holiday that commemorates the first post-apartheid elections held on April 27 in 1994. Meanwhile, across the rest of the Mother Continent, the statistics can be mind numbing: the life expectancy in Mukuru, Kenya is 40 years, the population density is 50,000 people per square mile, the poverty line $1 a day. Yet beyond the numbers are the people: a sea of bright, vibrant, open faces, working for a life of dignity and respect. One of those people working hard each day to change the emphasis of Mukuru from Slum to Village is Moses Wahor. This is his story. Moses Wahor was born and raised in Mukuru, one of 20 slum villages that ring Nairobi. He lives in a 10′x10′ corrugated metal shack with eight of his siblings, and considers it fortunate that his family has a roof beneath which to dwell. They, like all of their neighbors, are squatters, subject to eviction at any time. Most of the residents you see in Mukuru are children or young adults- half the population is under the age of 25, and the adults lucky enough to have jobs work as laborers in the city or in factories outside the Slum Villages for $2 a day. Family earnings are low and there are not enough schools; as a result, children are frequently seduced into prostitution and drug trafficking, activities that lead to HIV/AIDS infection. These children, many of them HIV orphans themselves, are the next generation of Africans facing a grim future if something is not done to change their lives.Watch Part 1 of Moses’ story on tomorrowpictures.tv! If you’d like to know more about the Mukuru Slum Village, and how you can help, contact us at Info@tomorrowpictures.com.
Health care reform has finally passed into law in America, and there’s more interest than ever in taking care of the body and soul before they get sick. Here, Emerald Yeh brings us an overview of the Asian healing art of Acupuncture. This form, which involves inserting tiny needles into various pressure points along the body, is reputed to realign the energy flow of the nervous system, called the “Chi”. Acupuncture is particularly useful at relieving pain that medications only dull. Put your skepticism aside, and consider your medical alternatives on Health and Wellness at TomorrowPictures.TV!
