Tell Michelle Obama: Help Pass the Saving America’s Pollinators Act!

Health Benefits of Honey
However, the truth is that honey bees may also get affected by the extensive pesticide usage which goes on in the chemically treated farms. The issue is so severe that the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, warned Barack Obama in May 2013 that if the excessive control of pesticides is not reduced, it could lead to a globally volatile situation as the bee population throughout the world becomes more and more affected.

Spring Equinox
MARCH 20TH is the first day of spring, or vernal equinox, as it's known to astronomers, vernal meaning "of or pertaining to spring," equinox meaning "equal night." As the angle of the earth's inclination toward the sun changes throughout the year, lengthening or shortening the days according to season and hemisphere, there are two times annually when day and night are of more or less equal length: the spring and autumnal equinoxes.

Spring Equinox
When Julius Caesar established his calendar in 45 BC he set 25 March as the spring equinox. Because a Julian year (365.25 days) is slightly longer than an actual year the calendar drifted with respect to the equinox, such that the equinox was occurring on about 21 March in AD 300 and by AD 1500 it had reached 11 March.

A letter to Michelle Obama

My daughter found this post and sent it to me. Her name is Michelle and she feels ashamed that her name is the same as the First Lady. That's a sad state of affairs folks. I tell her don't be ashamed, her Dad chose that name a long time before we knew that woman existed. I wish we still did not know.

From westernjournalism.com

On the day that your husband was elected, you said that you had never been proud of the United States until that day. For the last three and a half years, I have been observing your husband and you, and I feel that it is time I share my thoughts with you. The day your husband was elected was the first time I was ever ashamed of this country, and today I am even more ashamed.

Number of Long-Term Unemployed ‘Unprecedented’ Under Obama

From The Freebeacon:

The economy has seen an “unprecedented” number of long-term unemployed under the Obama administration, according to a liberal think tank, and economists say plans pursued by Democrats in Washington are unlikely to curb the problem.

Nearly 5 million workers are classified as long-term unemployed, while 900,000 more have stopped looking for work altogether, according to a new series of reports issued by the Urban Institute.

Three percent of the labor force has been out of work for more than six months, an improvement of only one percentage point since unemployment spiked in October 2009, according to the study.
