Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I update this as often as I can with news that you might not see on the major networks as my main focus. I welcome any and all comments, and I have content at the bottom of the page everyday. Personal blurb: My personal belief is that the US Constitution's first amendment (which talks about the freedom of speech) extends to the Internet. For this reason, I have the comments setting set up to have comments go up immediately. If you comment anonymously, you will have to go through a word verification step. I will keep the setting as-is as long as the comments are kept 'G' rated. Thanks and I hope you keep coming back.

Witnesses say ship with 600 sank near Libya

The U.N. Refugee Agency says it has received witness reports that a ship carrying up to 600 migrants trying to flee Libya sank off the coast of the North African country.

Spokeswoman Laura Boldrini says the agency is trying to confirm what happened to the passengers when the vessel broke apart at sea Friday.

Witnesses who departed on another boat shortly after reported seeing the ship broken apart and bodies floating in the sea. That boat arrived later in Italy.

Boldrini said Monday that at least another three boats that departed Libya in recent months laden with migrants never made it to Italy.
