News and Politics for Wednesday, August 14th

My scheduled guest for today had to reschedule due to an illness on his part, so I created another commentary to maintain some continuity. I picked a bunch of news and blog articles, plus I used some content from video news podcasts to offer everyone a snapshot of everything that is going on around the world and here in the U.S. There are a lot of things you might not be aware of and some you are. They are all important to know so people can prepare for what's coming. Let me know what you think in the comments. If you think this is important enough, please like and maybe subscribe. I would like to see this podcast gain more attention in the dark days ahead.
