Dear Dave:

Presidential Contender for the Republican nod Senator Ted Cruz of The Friendship State of Texas is right to be sickened by all of the child sex trafficking for children coming over America's borders. With Texas being a southern border state he hears about it constantly.

"We are asking the Department of Health & Human Services for important information about its actions & obligations, & we owe it to these children to get answers."

An Editor's Note: Teddy was born in a Calgary, Alberta hospital which makes him the IInd Canadian citizen to possibly become U.S. President after President Chester Alan Arthur, Republican-New York (Quebec.) He would be the IIIrd foreign citizen to hold the office when you include President Barack Obama, Democratic-Illinois (Kenya.) Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican-California (Austria) the former Governor must be beside himself with anger that he is excluded while Teddy found a constitutional loop hole to let him in!

Dear Dave:

In addition to holding the Office of The First Gentleman, Captain Michael Haley, Republican-South Carolina is the husband of Governor Nikki Haley. The Captain serves honourably in the South Carolina Army National Guard. What with all this talk that Former XLIInd President Bill Clinton, Democratic-Arkansas might become the first First Gentleman Of The United States Of America if his wife, Former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton, Democratic-New York is elected the next President, I feel its important to show that Nikki is like anyone else. The Governor is happy that her husband is back from his military service & his good wife, in addition to be the Chief Executive for the State, has to hold her family together with her spouse gone like any other regular South Carolinian (or any) family. Things like kids going to school, still having contact with their dad, etc. It also showcases that there are both male & female spouses of politicians who make significant sacrifices for their family so that their loved ones can hold political office. The Governor elaborates.

"Seeing him, I took my first breath in a year. When you know you could lose a loved one & to think of that every day, it reminds you to be truly thankful for what you have, & it really helps you understand that a lot of small things don't matter."

Dear Dave:

The Peninsular State of Florida has Senator Marco Rubio (a candidate for the Republican nomination to run for the Presidency Of The United States Of America & be the XLVth (45th) Chief Executive) working on establishing legal immigration reforms so that hard working immigrants who come to his state & to America can have a chance to establish themselves. Florida having a huge latin populace from Cuba & other nations is a prime example of where fair immigration standards are needed so that families who want to bring up their kids right in their new nation can. What with fellow candidate & real estate mogul Donald Trump, Republican-New York making remarks on immigration that were controversial (while very true) on Mexican illegal immigration & the high levels of drug & related crimes to it, the quote is quite appropriate. An Editor's Note: One of the latino personages from Mexico with a criminal record in her past is Mrs. Columba Bush, wife of former Florida Governor & current candidate for the Republican nod himself, Jeb Bush. She tried to smuggle in consumer goods without declaring properly the taxes & duties on them.

Dear Dave:

Radio & media broadcast students take note of the excellent work being done by the new pairing of the very lovely & talented Nicola Crosbie, ex chief weather gal on Global News Edmonton & the even more lovely & talented Lochlin Cross. The two of them really have their game down in only two months on the air at 95.7 CRUZ FM on your radio. A "cross"-pattern overlay of broadcast talent to be sure, I have great respect for Lochlin as he has a wealth of experience in the field & would be a great mentor to up & coming media students. Especially in giving them confidence to write script/copy & appear on the air! Look at Loughlin's great history!

I. Its no "cross" for Lochlin to bear as he graduated in broadcasting from the British Columbia Institute Of Technology (BCIT.)

II. Lochlin can "cross" over from one format to another quite easily. After working both in British Columbia & Alberta, Lochlin stepped & worked at 100.3 The Bear FM doing hard rock & roll. His ability to adapt shows because he has now switched over to pop music & lighter rock hits while also providing excellent banter with his new co-host Nicola. This is quite an accomplishment as they are still getting to know one another & find their footing with the new show. Lets hope they don't get "cross" with one another & "cross" over one another's paths. This would cause significant injury.

III. "Cross" your heart with hope as Lochlin does great work for superb charities such as the Sign of Hope, Stollery Childrens Hospital, United Way, & Christmas Bureau, as well as many other fine charities. By being so involved, he is lending his radio "voice" & media talent & experience to guarantee these fine groups gets the funds & resources they need to continue helping the sick & less fortunate in our community!

Wind power is big in The Netherlands where my father & his family immigrated to Canada from, as a result I am very interested in wind tech. Even television's J.R.

Reassigned to a special detail by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office to aid in the drug investigation matter of the Bill Cosby case & possible California drug & rape charges is Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department. I've asked Joe to "get back to basics" & explain drug addiction with youth in a "matter of fact" police way. As this is the last Case #CIV (#104) that Sgt. Friday will solve for Executive Dissertations at an "even Steven II (2) years", I thought it would be best to get him to give a quick comment on drug addiction & graduating from one level of drug to a more an even more addictive one & then another & so on. Thus leading to crimes like say rape, sexual assault, battery, murder, etc. The Suspect, Dr. Cosby has admitted in depositions to drugging women without their consent "in order to have sex with them." Many of his victims were quite young, some even possibly high school or post-secondary or trade school students & what "The Cos" has done is absolutely despicable!

When there is, perps are caught in quicker manner b/c the citizenry are even more on the lookout for crime than say a poorer area of the city that has less resources financially. The suspects in this case are thought to be troubled youth that skip school & hang out on the street looking for trouble & who had stolen goods from other shops in the area & now they have escalated to murder. While Det. Friday is appalled & the execution style slaying, even he has to admit that it was impressive how the killers got away so efficiently.

"I don't care what undercover rock you crawled out from, there's a dress code for detectives in Robbery-Homicide. Section 3-605. 10. 20. 22. 24. 26. 50. 70. 80. It specifies; clean shirt, short hair, tie, pressed trousers, sports jacket or suit, & leather shoes, preferably with a high shine on them."

Dear Dave:

Who better than Brother Bobby to speak about flatlining, dying, & coming back, almost as if it were a dream?! Invited by the Greek Prime Minister to speak at The National & Kapodistrian University Of Athens on financial matters & the banking industry ahead of this Sunday's referendum vote, Texas oilman Robert James "Bobby" Ewing, Chairman, President, CEO, & co-owner of Ewing Global states his position on his frustration in dealing with bankers to a group of finance & enterprise students at their graduation ceremony. Thus proving that "its not all Greek" to him.

"It's like my daddy used to say. When a banker comes to do you a favor, check your wallet before he leaves!"

Dear Dave:

The Senate is now in "session" with Senator Jeff Sessions of The Yellowhammer State of Alabama. The Senator reveal his thoughts on giving kids the best protection from child abuse possible by getting a bill renewed that protects kids from these abuses. This is excellent as it is work done in the same way through the Sexual Assault Crisis Centre & the ICE Unit of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police & other groups such as battered women, men & children shelters. What a great present our Alabaman friend is giving Canada on this Dominion Day by raising this issue on the floor of the United States Senate!

"We cannot & should not go back to a system that fails the most valuable children in our society. It is time to reauthorize The Victims of Child Abuse Act."

Heart Of Dixie,

Rory
