Martin Martinez: How to boost your immune system and slow down the aging process

image

There are many wonderful natural immune boosters. There is vitamin C, bittermelon, vitamin E, N-acetylcysteine, licorice extract, Astralgus, vitamin A, B and E complex. I will expound on the most common one, that most of us are familiar with and hopefully are not intimidated by, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and (poly ascorbate) .

Here are the myriad benefits of this vitamin.

It is an immune booster and a powerful anti-oxidant. It helps in the treatment of scurvy, helps in the prevention of colds and shortens the life of a cold. Vitamin C possibly prevents and possibly reverses the effects of the aging process.



Trae Lewis: Straight Outta Carolina

image

NWA’s debut album “Straight Outta Carolina” was an album laced with raw and vulgar expressions and story telling never heard before in hip hop or in music as a whole. The LA based group shook the industry with their unabashed message of being anti-law enforcement, anti-America, and most of all exposing the lifestyle of a “gangsta”. One who takes no for answer and gets what he wants, no matter how right or wrong the method.

Hip Hop began in 1988 as it always did, New York based rappers delivering rap songs that expressed the life of New Yorkers. None of these rappers messages were clean enough to perform before a Sunday church crowd, however, there was some biting of the lip in regarding their expression. Public Enemy frontman Chuck D was as anti-establishment and raw as they came, yet he never articulated the need and desire to use violence as a primary way of life. With their angry and no holdsbar attitude,NWA forever changed hip hop.

This brings me to last Saturday’s GOP primary winner Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich is much like NWA. No he isn’t new to the political fold, however his style and mannerisms are uncharacteristic of any of his GOP opponents. He’s all telling and unwavering regarding to his principals and positions. Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, and especially Mitt Romeny are those east coast rappers who do deliever their message, however, its done with care and ease. Sometimes even apologetic, not Speaker Gingrich.

I came down to cover the event from Canada. And for anything you may have heard of Canada’s (well earned) reputation for tolerance, diversity and friendliness, nothing could have prepared me for the hospitality and graciousness I’ve had the joy of experiencing in Charleston.

Crystal Wright: The Case for Newt Gingrich

image

Newt Gingrich’s rise to leader of the pack among Republican presidential hopefuls isn’t an accident nor is he just the GOP flavor of the month.

Gingrich is the most formidable and qualified candidate to take on Barack Obama and win, something conservatives are coming to realize, which is why the New Hampshire Union Leader endorsed Newt Gingrich in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary because he is most capable of leading the country out of this mess.

The more Gingrich debated his colleagues, the more people liked him. In every debate Gingrich has performed deftly, offering common sense solutions to problems facing America from entitlement reform to foreign relations. He also acted like a statesman in debates, never falling for liberal moderators’ bait of trashing his colleagues. As Newt often reiterates, “any one of us on this stage could do a better job than Barack Obama.”



Princella Smith: “Red Internet”

image

When Politicalistas asked me to help them launch their site with a weekly take on my experiences in China, I could immediately think of several topics to write about.

After all, I’m a southern girl from Arkansas who decided to set up camp in Mainland China for a year to teach English, do some things for my business, learn Mandarin and understand the culture in general—all of this AFTER having run in national political circles during most of my 20’s. That’s enough material for at least one good season on a reality show.

At 28, I am a member of the Y generation who may as well have been born with microchips in our brains. It’s as if we were made for technology, and in a world that craves mass communication capabilities, I’d say this is okay.



Cain harassment scandal hits black conservatives hard

Many black conservatives feel the assault on Cain is really a proxy battle for an ideological war for who can best articulate a case for the black community’s interests.



Raynard Jackson: It’s “Hamer” Time

Fannie Lou Hamer (pronounced hay-mer) was one of the unsung pillars of the civil rights movement in the U.S.

She was a phenomenal woman—a woman of great determination and great purpose. She was not one to hold back her feelings, especially when fighting for equality.

In 1964 she was elected Vice-Chair of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). Their stated purpose was to challenge Mississippi’s all-white delegation to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) which was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey.



Andre Harper: Conservatives Should Thank The Wall Street Protesters

image

Liberals have turned their attention to Wall Street with hopes of starting a revolution that will destroy our financial system. Based on their interviews and propaganda, I am convinced that they have no clue why they are there much less what to do if they succeed. They readily admit that they are unable to articulate a realistic plan of action to implement their “demands.”

They are simply using “revolution is not reform” as an excuse for chaos. Trying to reason with these committed leftists is an exercise in futility. However, they have presented conservatives with a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

These self-described anarchists have provided us with a clear contrast of our opposing political philosophies. These protesters range from spoiled trust fund baby to vagrants fueled by greed and a desire to use the heavy-hand of government, sustained civil disobedience and intimidation to steal from those who have earned.

Richard Ivory: Unforeseen Occurrences Befall Us All: even a President

Life is often filled with conundrums and contradictions. Life is filled nevertheless, even more so, with the unexpected. When President George W. Bush won election in 2000, he ran on a campaign of change and reform. He rallied against the wastefulness of big government spending and scolded the previous administration’s “nation building” efforts.



Richard Ivory: Change has come to America…For Now!

The year was 1990 and “change” had come to the southern state of Virginia , a State steeped in a history of racial division. It had come in the form of a young, charismatic, black lawyer named Lawrence Douglas Wilder.
