Thank you

I decided some time ago that I was going to start a blog post where I could voice my thoughts on several issues that normally just bounce around in my head on a daily basis.  I wanted to be able to write my thoughts freely, cover the big issues and small ones alike, and put them into a venue where others can read them, comment if they wish, and have conversations about the subject matter. 

I think I have achieved that. I was looking at my analytics recently and see that my blogs have been read in the United States, Germany, Australia, France, Poland, Spain, Peru, Russia, and the Ukraine.  I really found that interesting. 

My purpose of this short blog is to simply say 'Thank You' to those of you out there who have read one or more of my blogs.  I plan to continue publishing blogs indefinitely, and I hope that people start following and commenting on them as well, because the true fun begins when we can have good conversations about the subjects. 

I ask that if you like the blog, please share it so my audience can grow over time.  I will continue to share each new blog on Facebook and Twitter, but my hope is that people begin following the blog itself so they receive notifications when I put new posts up. 

Also, if you have any ideas of subjects you would like me to address in future blogs, please feel free to send those ideas to me at stephendunkel@gmail.com.  Put BLOG IDEA in the subject line of the email when you send it.  I am always open to new ideas.  I currently have 21 blogs posted on my site, so if you have only read one or a couple, please dig into others I have posted and let me know what you think about them.

I appreciate you all for reading my blogs, and I hope that I can continue to provide blogs that you enjoy well into the future.  Have a great and long weekend, and you will hear from me again after the holiday!

In closing, I am a Veteran, and I want to take a moment to recognize those who gave their lives in service to this great nation.  This coming holiday is about those who gave it all and left themselves on the battle field having made the ultimate sacrifice in service to country.  This coming holiday is not about veterans like me.  It is a holiday where we all need to take moments and give thanks to those who gave their lives so that people like me can have blogs like this in which I can say anything that I want to because of the freedoms we have as citizens of the greatest country on Earth.

To those who gave it all and to their families; I love you all, and I thank you all for your sacrifices.

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Let's talk about kids

So here we are, waiting patiently and watching what the government is doing to reunite children with their parents who have been separated at the border.  The government said all it would take was a few key strokes and they could immediately identify which children were where and get them reunited.  Interesting comment considering that we are now past the court mandated timeframe within which the government was mandated by the court to reunite the 102 children under the age of 5 with their parents.  They had a month to do it, and only managed to reunite around 54 children by the deadline.  They have resorted to taking DNA samples from children and parents to try to match them up in a database because the process they used to separate these children from their parents didn't take into consideration the reunification process, so in most cases they have no idea which children match up to which parents. Instead of the President taking a more compassionate approach to...

Technology, the Double Edged Sword

Technology is an amazing thing isn't it?  Look at the evolution of the computer.  Below I am providing a history of the evolution of the computer.  It is not all-inclusive, but does document some very important moments in history starting in 1801 and ending in 2017.  If you aren't a huge reader, you can jump past the history lesson to the remainder of my blog below, but it is very interesting and I recommend you read through it.  In France in 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a loom that used punched wooden cards to automatically weave fabric designs.  Early computers would use similar punch cards. In 1822, an English Mathematician named Charles Babbage conceived of a steam-driven calculating machine that would be able to compute tables of numbers.  The project was funded by the English government and was a failure.  More than a century later, however, the first computer was actually built in the world. In 1890, Herman Hollerith designed ...
