'I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears. '- Adele
Adele spoke these words to '60 Minutes Australia' when asked about her looks. We thought music was always about hearing, but we know that's not true anymore. Listening is often secondary to videos since MTV and other visual media came on strong 20-30 years ago and continues today with VISUALs like American Idol and The Voice. . No wonder music has deteriorated ( our opinion and many others) as now an artist must have the 'right' appearance even more than the voice . When's the last time you saw an average-looking singer with a hit record? If they were trying to pick on Adele's looks that's pretty sad. Remember what Susan Boyle had to go through answering to her 'non-standard' looks; there are probably many Susan Boyles out there who don't want to go through what she had to. And, try to name three hit records this year. Again, the song and music has become secondary to the person and face.

“The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.” - ORWELL
POSTERS NOW ON SALE
Writer and philosopher George Orwell, more than anyone else, has had more of his observations and beliefs come true many years later.
BREAKING: WHY OBAMA WON'T ACT, EVEN AFTER FRENCH ATTACKS
According to middle eastern insider Walid Phares , Obama won't accelerate against ISIS especially after the French attacks is because his allegiance is to Iran and the Syrian regime. Hard to believe as it sounds, Iran will lose its hold if Suni moderates are taken out of key regions in Syria. ...as Obama continues his 'no boots on ground' stance. This is a genuine failure of world leadership by Obama. When's the last time the U.S. had a president closer to the Arab extremist side than to the Western influence? So, it appears the Obama strategy is to side with the Cheri of Iran, turning away France's request for military help. Walid Phares is an American scholar of Lebanese origins. He is a professor and commentator on global terrorism. Above posters on sale

Bernie Sanders Notable Quotable 'Global Warming Caused the Terrorist Attacks'
QUOTE OF THE MONTH: We've heard some pretty wild stuff during the debates but Democrat, er, Socialist BERNIE SANDERS probably took the cake while proclaiming 'Global Warming Caused the Terrorist Attacks,' at the second Democratic Debate in at Drake University in Iowa. It may have taken away any remaining chance he could win the election, too. And... what timing, right after the tragic French mass terrorist killings for him to come out and make such a statement

DON'T BE SO SURE ABOUT ROBIN WILLIAMS' WIFE'S 'PEOPLE' VERSION
PEOPLE MAGAZINE reports Robins' Williams was weeks from going into a treatment facility, according to his wife,Very sad story but, be careful not to accept this as total truth. This version is coming from Williams's wife, of whom there have been more than indications of strained relations with her late husband. The fact that Susan Williams couldn't let her more mature ego at the door to avoid a public confrontation with Williams' kids AFTER his death gives us at least some reason there was more to the story than what she's telling us. In fact, Williams was perhaps the top actor and comedian of his time, a man devoid of the usual Hollywood trappings of ego and greed, a man for whom nobody had a bad word. It's quite possible that all that fast-paced, constant genius racinig through Williams took its toll early on his body and brain. But then again, perhaps with a little more TLC and proper care, Williams could have had at least t hose three years back. We may never know; would be good to hear more from the kids if and when they're ready to talk. And, of course, blaming Williams for taking his life should not even be part of the equation -even if we knew all the facts. Meanwhile we are left with Williams' legacy of movies and videos, though still yet too hard for this person to watch , but his loss will never be replaced and it came at a time when the world really needed him. Now that Robin is no longer her to speak for himself, please consider that when reading a story like the one that appears in PEOPLE >>> http://roadtosuccess.us/?s=robin+williams

Don't Expect Interest Rates to Rise Anytime Soon with Obama and his Mouthpiece, Yellen
It is unlikely Department of the Treasury head Janet Yellen will ever raise the national interest rate from ZERO, where it has been since Obama took office seven years ago. Yellen is a mere mouthpiece / tool for the Obamas, giving mere lip-service to what she is likely told to do and say. Like Donald Trump or not, he is one of the few and first to really 'tell it like it is' about the phony 'interest rate game' the Obamas are playing with the country. Hear Trump tell it best:
‘They are not raising rates because Obama has asked them not
to raise them because, in myopinion, he wants to get out of office because we are in a
bubble and when those rates are raised a lot of bad things are going to happen or potentially going to happen and in my opinion Janet Yellen (head of Treasury) is highly politicaland she’s not raising rates for a very specific reason because Obama told her not to because he wants to be out playing golf a year from now and he wants to be doing other things and he doesn’t want to see a big bubble burst during his administration.'

Three Obama People Have Pleaded 'Fifth' - Most Since the Fifties(?)
...When assistant secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs' John Podesta told House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa that “It’s a privilege to remain silent, sir' late October, 2013 it market the third time one of Obama's people had gone silent in testimony.
In June, Greg Rosemen, a deputy director at the IRS, refused to talk about his role in awarding contracts worth up to $500 million to a company owned by a friend whose business received veteran set-aside contract status based on a decades-old football injury.
A month earlier, Lois Lerner, former head of the IRS tax exempt division, declined to discuss the IRS scrutinizing nonprofit applications from tea party and other conservative groups.
None of these people were fired to the best of our knowledge or penalized. Lerner was recently dismissed from any charges after being investigated on alleged email corruption.
...It is likely the first time since the 1950s that we've so many Government officials 'Plead the Fifth' .....In the most famous indictment of a high political figure, President Richard Nixon for forced to resign office for erasing 15 minutes of tapes;contrast that to Hillary Clinton today erasing some 60,000 emails and probably getting away scot free as she runs as leading Democratic candicate for President. Times have changed...

Obama's New Politically-Correct Label for Juvenile Delinguents
...They were known as 'Juvenile Delinquents' for decades, but now our President has made for yet another CHANGE in his long lexicon of new 'obama-babble.' No longer will kids with police records be referred to as juvenile delinquents but , get this, 'JUSTICE-INVOLVED YOUTH...'

Refreshing to See new Speaker Paul Ryan NOT fawning all over Dem leader Nancy Pelosi like his predecessor when she handed the gavel over to Ryan last week.

The CNBC executive on site at the Republican debate hosted by CNBC last month was a guy named Brian Steel. What is so special about Steel?, according to Red State
Brian Steel worked in Bill Clinton’s White House as a domestic policy adviser to Vice President Al Gore.
But that’s not the only connection Steel has to the Clintons. Steel is married to Eileen Libutti, who is amanaging partner at New York City law firm Lewis Johs Avallone Aviles LLP. Libutti has donated $2,700 — the maximum contribution — to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
In further checking, TV Newser reported that Steel had announced his impending resignation as PR executive aftere eight years at CBNC but gave no indication when the change would take place, obviously it would be after the Debate, at which he was, reported, present.

'Americans Eventually Gets Things Right...' - Churchilll via Ted Koppell ('Lights Out') Cyber Attack Warning
'Americans eventually gets things right,' said Winston Churchill, but only 'after they exhaust every other possibility trying.' Ted Koppel reminded us of this notable quotable on the Ronn Owens (KGO) radio show while discussing his new book, 'Lights Out,'which tells of the United States' ill preparation for a cyper attack that could criple large areas of America's power grid. In Koppel's interviews with 60 people closely connected with America's Homeland security, many admitted that a well-planned cyber attack could wreck havoc on large sections of America's power grid for large durations of time. As one of those interviewed told Koppel, America is a reactive society rather than a pro-active one.
