Turkey day musings and a message of thanks.

Welcome to the Brad Essex report tonight we are shifting gears today to talk about a player who is going thru a terrible plight. Eric Berry is a safety for the Kansas City Chiefs ever since he was drafted in 2010 in the first round of the nfl draft. Thru it all he has played like a all pro which many people compared him to Ronnie Lott and Ed Reed. Thou he had a torn ACL in 2011 and a high ankle sprain early this season he was helping the chiefs thru a successful 2014 season  in which they were picked to not do well this season. 

Then the unexpected happen he started to complain of chest pain during the Oakland Raiders game. He was treated to a MRI which discovered a lump in his chest area and further tests showed  he had lymphoma. He is undergoing tests in his hometown Atlanta to see what kind he has. Lymphoma has two types Hodgkin and non Hodgkin the difference will determine what will be his treatment and his recovery time.  His team mates and fans not only in Kansas City but the Nfl but his teammate Jammal Charles has been effected the most from his illness. ,The two players became close in 2011. Berry and Charles suffered a torn ACL a week apart from one another, Berry in the season opener and Charles in Week 2. They pushed each other through the recovery from surgery and rehab, along with tight end Tony Moeaki, who tore his ACL the final week of the preseason that year.

  "Eric is a great teammate," Charles said. "I've been with Eric through a lot of things. We've both been through knee surgery and he was right there by my side. I know Eric is a good person, a great person. If he can do it, anybody can do it. Good thing he found it early. He was happy about this journey he's about to go through because he's one of the toughest persons I've ever been around. What a great person to go fight this.   "Having his presence gone is sad. I just want him to have the best health in the world. I want him to get himself get better. I don't care about the game right now. I just want him to be OK so I can see my friend forever."   He's brought great joy to Kansas City fans thru his work in the community from treating people at christmas time and visiting people at the hospital. We all know and kind of laughed at his fear of horses. Thou he tried to overcome his fear by talking to Susie who ride the horse warpaint during chiefs home games he was still uneasy with the horse.  Cancer thou he has no fear about fighting it. Like he came in the locker room before he left for Atlanta. "He came in here with all smiles, just telling us to push on,” defensive end Jaye Howard said. “We got positive vibes ... he just told us don’t worry about him, he’s going to get through this, he’ll be back.”  I know he will with his positive attitude and love of the fans and family and friends he will Eat, Sleep, conquer Lymphoma, and defeat cancer!

What I'm looking at this week pre turkey day edition.

Welcome to the Brad Essex Report we got a lot to get to so let's do it. First we got president Obama executive order letting 5 millions people who has been here longer then five years get amnesty. Well congrats Obama i didn't think you had it in you to do it. You shocked me that you had the balls to go against the popular opinion and do this order. Funny you should do it on the Mexican day of independence. Now more people will try to come into this country. That mean more ways to bring in people with infected diseases and people who are not even Mexican but arabs could be transporting  weapons of mass destructions. Yet you ignored all of that to keep a campaign promise that 75% of Americans didn't want to happen yet here we are. 

A number of states governors and attorney generals are going to sue the hell out of Obama because this is a abuse of power that Richard Nixon would say that just a little too much there. Also what about the ones who did it the right way? They should get a fucking refund for all the times they had to study, get a immigration lawyer , pay for filing fees and other stuff. I have a friend who dealing with getting her husband here the right way and look what you done. You basically told them fuck off losers should of entered the country illegally. You basically gave the 2016 election to the gop because we are going to ram this thing into whoever the democrats decide to run for the seat. We going to tell you because of Obama power grab it will be harder for people to get jobs because employers will like the cheaper person. 

Then we are going to tell people of latino descent that Obama basically said that all you're good for is being a fruit picker or a cleaning person. You will never become bigger then who you are.  I hope you liked that Obama thumbing your nose at the American people like that. Well guess what in January it's game on because we got the senate and house so guess what we going to pass every bill that has been meaning to pass in the last four years. That include Keystone, job bill, and audit the fed. Plus we got a whole bunch more and i'll bet you that the house will over turn many of those vetos you will be using. That because we tired of you acting like a king. Time to learn the hard way when the american people speak you better listen.

One more thing this thing about Adrian Peterson is terrible. Swatting a baby at four years old is never the right thing to do. When they are older and know right from wrong they deserve to be spanked if they get out of line. I am glad my father spanked me. I deserved every swat. I was a pain to deal with at time because i always didn't like people telling me what to do and despite knowing better i did what i want. So my dad hit me with a belt and it wasn't out of anger it was trying to make me into a better person. I know now he did it because he wanted me to be a good citizen and not a out of whack person. I am glad he did it and its made me a better person and i'm sorry i acted up all those years. The point being is that there are time to discipline a  child but not when they are a baby and certainly not with a tree branch like Peterson used. Punishment is a good thing thou and because of it. It will make your kid a better person in the end.

The week in review!

Welcome to the brad essex report. Here are some of the things i'm viewing and discussing this week. First we have lost two good mens in elections Carl Demaio and Dan Bogino they ran good solid races but in the end the the votes came up short for both of them. They are worthy of running again they are two mens who would shake up congress. They both are mens we should support in any future endeavors. Dan because he runs a honest campaign in blue Maryland and Carl because he would break barriers and show that the GOP embrace everyone no matter who or what you are.

Second we have the two mens who were released from North Korea. Kenneth Bae and Matthew Miller both spent over two years in a Korean prison. Thou this deal is strange cause they only wanted to talk to a us offical and that it to release the prisoners? I suspect something is up. With a crazy person like kim jung un in charge he may use this to get things from the us. Plus if he don't get them he will kidnapped more Americans.  We need to nip it in the bud and tell Kim that we don't deal with dictators. If he doesn't like that he should write a strongly worded letter to Hans Blix. 

Then today we found out about a serious health battle Glen Beck has been battling. It's hard to see someone suffer like that and I would be remiss if i didn't ask you all to pray for him. He may be off putting to some but he trying to preserve history and that is a endeavor everyone should support. The libs want to change history for their agenda we want to preserve the truth. Even if some our history is dark and horrific. We must protect our history and documents. So libs will not change them to fit their needs.     

Today is Veteran day. For all who have served i like to thank you for protecting our freedom. I like to thank my Dad, my Grandpa Essex, and my Grandpa Ruiz. To my many family members who have served i like to also thank you for serving. I wish i could of served but with my CP i can't and i feel that by not serving i'm not doing my patriotic duty. Many brave mens have sacrifice their lives for us. From concord and lexington of the revolutionary war to the battle of New Orleans in war of 1812. The two battles of  tabasco in the mexican american war. The battle of gettyburg in the civil war. The poppy fields and the second battle of marne. The battle of the Bulge and Midway of ww2. The forgotten war of Korea. The tears and bloodshed of the tet offensive of the Vietnam war. To the battle of Takrit in Gulf War 1 and the battles of Iraq and Afghanistan in the war on terror now. These mens and women are the true heros. We should thank them everyday for their valor and service.
