When your tv escape becomes real.

Today I'm skipping the usual politics view to talk something a little more serious. Most people have ways to escape the craziness of the real world. Reading a book, cooking or others things. My escape is politics and sports. What happen thou when your escapes get too real? The WWe Just learned that Joe Aona'i known as Roman Reigns has been battling leukemia since he was 11 years old but recently the disease has come back.

First of all how amazing is it in this day and age to not know about his health issues. He was a standout defensive player at Georgia Tech getting all ACC honors. Then trained at FCW before it became NXT and then hitting the main roster where he currently reside at Raw every Monday.

Now he has given up his title to fight this disease again.  Lets now take this two days back Purdue and Ohio State is playing a hell of a football game. Watching the game is a young man. Tyler Trent is 20 years old but right now he is battling terminal bone cancer. He saw his Purdue University Boilermakers beat Ohio State in a upset. They were not sure he would be able to make the trip. Yet he did and told anyone who listened that his team will win. The Crowd that day knowing about their honored guest instead of chanting Buckeyes suck they chanted Cancer sucks. He was honored by meeting Mitch Daniels now president of Purdue and former Governor and VP Mike Pence while sitting in the VIP booth at the stadium.

Both men's and many other fight cancer and leukemia everyday. These things tend to not know not to interrupt your escapism. They grab you or whoever you love and try to wreck the body till your nothing more then a husk of who you are. The pain of seeing the person you love slowly die out is a hard thing to handle.
We live in 2018 Science have done wonder to fight this disease yet we still don't have a cure. I urge you to find a cancer charity of your choice and help fight this disease. I wrote this because that disease hit close to home for me. I had family members fight and lose lungs also breasts to that disease. We need to fight so that people like  Joseph,Tyler,Lloyd and Marcella don't have to deal with that disease again. So our escapism can be just that a escape.

Also one last thing I really appreciate you all coming to my site over 105,000 views I thank you for that and may I hope to get to 500,000 views.

Brett Kavanaugh and the story that have so many plot holes!

Brett Kavanaugh is expected to be a supreme court justice by next Thursday. But in the mean time he is expected to have a meeting with the judicial committee about an incident that happened 35 years ago. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford a professor at Palo Alto University claimed Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a party 35 years ago in high school. She also said there was another person with him at the time.



She revealed all of this during a couples therapy session a few years ago then gave a letter to Dianne Feinstein six weeks ago. She said there were four boys then said the therapist made a mistake and said there were only two of them that tried to assault her. Also provided a polygraph and the therapist notes. She said Brett was 17 and she was only 15 at the time of the alleged assault.  Yet why did Dianne Feinstein held on to this letter for six weeks after she got it? Also doesn't Dr.Ford know that a polygraph is inadmissible in court or in a hearing?



Also polygraph are deemed unreliable because of misreadings and questions asked that are vague. That is why the court don't use them as evidence. Also she has said that she didn't know the other guy in the room yet she knew that they were from an all boys school in a 2012 interview.  Yet the other guy she claim was there said Brett wasn't in the room and don't recall being at a party with her. Also for an alleged victim like her her memory of the incident would be sharper many people of sexual assault and rape remember every detail yet she said that she can't recall the whole incident in question. Plus 65 women who know Kavanaugh support and believe his statement of not being at the party. Finally Kavanaugh went through six FBI background checks without discovering the incident in question.



I'm not saying she was lying I question the timing of it. If she wanted to stop him where was she when he was in line for U.S. Circuit Judge? This is a serious charge and her waiting almost 35 years to just spring it on his seem strange. This hurts many real victims of sexual assault and rape from coming out because of the way she brought up the charges.



If she comes on and testify on Monday then we can get to the bottom of the issue. If she does not, then I'd expect the committee to vote for Brett and pass him thru to the senate for a full vote.

Presidential diplomacy and how sometime being rude get results.

   So we have President Trump now doing something you never seen anybody do in 62 years. He has gotten North and South Korea to talk They are going to officially end the Korean War later this year. Yet we hear about stuff that happened before he was president and that it should be a impeachable offenses. Yet none of what he did is a impeachable offense. You know I still don't trust him still because of his past. But he has done stuff that has helped this country. Lower taxes. Getting great men and women into leadership roles like Gen. Mattis and Richard Grenell and Nikki Haley. Opening up racial conversations with Kanye West. Helping out on trade equality by making other nations be more even in trade values. If he does something in the white house that is Illegal and not right for America I will lead the charge. Plus he hasn't killed anybody by proxy or gave money away to a terrorists sponsored nation. Don't forget left 4 men to die in Benghazi. Trump is what 2018 is right now.


Next we must ask ourselves this question. How much longer will we tolerate Liberals  telling us to give up our weapons when in certain part of our country it is a war zone. Chicago has more shooting in a weekend then most of the country has in a month. Yet David Hogg calls us old and sloped headed because we still believe in our rights to bear arms. Many Americans who are not white not rich and not in a concealed carry state need that reassure feeling of having a gun nearby in case someone tried to attack them. Yeah sometime Idiots shoot at people for the wrong reasons but most people in this country use their gun wisely.


Finally time for a segment I like to call Brad corner of the world where i don't talk Politic it's all about other things in the world.

First the greatest Royal rumble in Saudi Arabia was a barn burner. Yet it was with controversy no women matches and WWE were called out for showing a commercial with women in it. Still got a long way to go before Saudi Arabia is like Abu Dhabi and allow women to wrestle there. Still the ladies did get some good cash and a few days off so that a good thing.

Then let talk about movies Super Troopers 2 is out. The stoner comedy is back and looked as funny as ever I hope to give a review of it soon. Also some crappy Avenger movie came out but who cares.

Finally it's mother day coming up I hope you all are getting something good for your mom they are the backbone of this country. They are there when sometime the dad not there and they make something out of nothing. Also make a house a home. So remember your mother natural or not for they love you no matter how many mistakes you make.

Thank you for reading this latest blog. It been awhile I know but been working at Lowes as a full timer and sometime I too tired to write. But i still offer my opinion at twitter at bradessex or facebook. Just remember I'm Brad Essex and this is the Brad Essex Report.

Steve Bannon crash and burn!

Steve Bannon was officially kicked off of the Donald Trump advisory group last week. Then he was disavowed by the Mercer family and was cut off of funding from them and finally today he stepped down as chairman of Breitbart News and released from Sirius Radio .



Why this is good news? We must go to the past to talk about it. When Andrew Breitbart died, we didn't know who would take over. Then Dana Loesch left and then Larry O'Conner left. Two of my best friends who took me under their wings and fostered my writing after Andrew died left. Then I was not able to write for the site anymore. I was locked out of the site. I wonder why and I never did get an answer, but I did get a name. Steve Bannon. It was him that purged most of us who worked for Andrew Breitbart out. Which is disappointing cause writing for Andrew was a dream come true for me.



I always like telling stories and finding out the truth about things. When Andrew hired me, I was in a bad place mentally. I felt despite being known as a hard worker, I was at a dead end job and creatively I felt muted. Then Andrew hired me and I could vocalize my thoughts and help this country by showing how your rights were being abused. Then when Bannon showed up I was locked out of speaking my voice and showing that people with disability are a difference maker! I know it wasn't Larry Solov or Joel Pollack because they knew who I was. 





Steve Bannon thought because he ran Breitbart that he was a king maker. All he was really was a leech. He grabbed on to great leaders like Sarah Palin, Allen West, and Nikki Haley and try to be someone. It wasn't till he latched on to Trump that he could become a power player. He used Trump to set up meetings and lined up his pockets with money. Then thou he let it all slip away by first undermining Trump in Alabama by supporting Moore instead of Luther Strange.  Then allowed Michael Wolff to get access to the White House so he can write his speculative fiction Fire & Fury. Then finally calling Trump kids dumb. That was the straw that broke the camel back. Trump fired him. The Mercer family made him obsolete. Finally today Breitbart News and Sirius gave him his walking paper.



Steve Bannon we hardly knew ye. Now it just time to fade away!

How Elizabeth Warren harms Native Americans with her lies

 Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. Here is what I'm looking at this week. Donald Trump had a ceremony in which he honored the last Native American code talkers of WW2. Why they don't use the code anymore is strange to me but that a another story for another time. Well during the ceremony Trump said that the Senate had a Indian named Pocahontas. Then Elizabeth Warren flew off the handle about the comments saying Trump was being a racist to her for saying that. First of all it was a joke. Second he is mocking you for claiming to be Native American. You used that lie to get advancement in college. Your claims to be Native American has been debunked by many people. Including Dana Loesch, who is an actual Native American. Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes blew apart Warren’s ridiculous story wherein she claimed her grandfather had “high cheekbones” Cherokee people wanted to discuss her claims to be Indian she blew them off like an imaginary peace pipe she think she used before. Then the kicker is that Dana Loesch showed that Warren ancestors weren't Indians they killed them. William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection, Dana, Twila and others painstakingly researched Warren claims yet she don't get punished, she still a senator and the mainstream media let her get away with that lie. Then we have John Conyers and Al Franken. These two have been accused of sexual harassment. Yet despite Franken being shown grabbing Leeann Tweeden boobs while she was asleep plus the complaints that women raised about Conyers and a former ABC anchor knowing what he did they are both still senators. This is the common thread Republicans step down if there is an inkling of wrongdoing on their part. Democrats have to be pried out of their seat with the jaws of life to get them to leave. Also don't throw Roy Moore at me he just a moron who is too stupid to do the right thing. Finally it is the Christmas & Hanukkah season. We would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. That being said here a list of things to do during the holiday season. 1. When shopping put carts in cart area. We are a great nation, but I see all the time people not putting the carts away where they belong. Then other drivers have to move them or the carts roll till they hit a parked car and leave a dent in the car. Come on we can do better then that put the carts in the cart area. 2. You don't have to park in the front of the store all the time you can walk over to the store. Why first it's good exercise and it's a great way to walk off the feast your family is making. Second, it will help lower your blood pressure by not having to get angry waiting for someone to move out of the spot you want to take. 3. Make sure you keep all receipts so in case of making a return you'll be covered and ready to get the gift you want. 4. Give to the charity of your choice. As in don't be forced to give to people like Susan B. Korman who are supported by planned parenthood. Do your research and find a charity that are 100% funding their cause and not backed by organizations that don't support your views. 5. Do a good deed for someone that won't know it's you. On Christmas the best surprises are the ones people don't expect so if you can do something nice and don't tell the person. Thank you for reading The Brad Essex Report. Remember I'm the Commonsense Pundit in an uncommon world.

When Weinstein had his Wiener moment

Poor Harvey Weinstein is having his come to Jesus moment. The New York Times wrote an expose on Weinstein. Many years of sexual abuses followed up by paying people to keep quiet about his pervy moments. Now he has been fired from his own company, but not before he wrote a last gasp letter saying don't fire me i'll go to therapy. Even thou and this is the level of stupid only reached by a few like Anthony Wiener. The allegations were not true. If their not true, then why need therapy? What next his toaster was loyal? The one part that pissed me off was the abuse of my friend Lauren Sivan by him look it up, but this man gives new meaning to the words jabba the hutt. He'll go low and disappear for a while then he'll come back saying the DR. cured him and will be received with open arms in Hollywood. The reason for the years his abuses were unchecked because he had power when Hollywood brings him back into the fold he'll laugh about it and go on with his life. Abuse is never a good thing. Abuse is power over someone's. Harvey need to never have that power over someone head ever again.


Now to the protests by NFL players. They have a right to kneel. It is in our constitution, they have a right to a peaceful protest and that means sitting or kneeling during the national anthem. Yet when will these protest ends and the actions begins? J.J Watts didn't just give money during Hurricane Harvey he is planning with people to use the funds he raised to better Houston in the aftermath of Harvey. These players who kneels where is their actions. Why are they not getting people to sign up to vote. Why they're not taking people to the polls or being a vote watcher? Why are they're not buying land that fixes old buildings and make better housing than the government for the people? Why they're not to talking to people about if you see something bad in the area to talk to the cops instead of not snitching and getting bad elements out of their neighborhood? 

Also their argument about the flag is stupid many fine men of color fought for that flag. From the buffalo soldiers and the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry who fought in the Civil War. To today active military. That flag doesn't represent racism, it represent an opportunity and freedom to achieve your dream.

Finally it is my birthday and in 43 years I've learned to be more honest with myself and to you all. I like to thank you for reading this little blog and I hope the next year will be an even bigger year for this site and me.

Houston in too deep.

Right now as I am writing this in cypress just outside of Houston the water is rising fast. It is expected to rain up to 60" and most of downtown is already underwater. This is the only part of the impact of Harvey a category 4 hurricane. Rockport Texas is destroyed. A couple of tornados have hit already and it has cause over 40 billion dollars of damages. President Trump will be visiting on Tuesday to survey the damages. Governor Abbott will be here tomorrow. Most of eastern Texas has been declared a natural disaster area. As I write this people all over are coming to help Texas. We must pray for those who are not as in a good area as I am. If you can help by donating please do. Salvation army and Samaritan's Purse are two organizations that can help those in need the most. Prayers are also a great way to help too. I've been searching for something meaningful to write about I didn't expected to be in my own backyard. Thank you for continuing to read The Brad Essex Report.

Beer review my trip to Eureka Heights Brewery

Welcome to the Brad Essex report here what i'm looking at this week. This week we are taking a break from politics. Andrew Breitbart once said politic is downstream from pop culture. So I'm going to tell you about my trip to the Eureka Heights Brewery.


It's was a lazy Friday afternoon in Houston. Cloudy and humid. Me and my brother made the trek from Cypress to Houston. Pretty soon we were at the brewery and we meet Heather one of the owners of the Brewery. She told us about what they had and talked to my brother about owner brent being at the rodeo since my brother was a gatekeeper.

So we head to the bar. My first beer was a Wicket Awesome. A tasty light beer, It had a crisp taste to it and a little hop to it. My brother had the Moo Caliente which I'll talk about in a second. First the Brewery is very open spaced you don't feel too crowded. Also got long tables to spread out and feel comfortable in.

Now the next beer I tried is the Moo Caliente this is a dark beer with a little bit of a kick to it. It has cinnamon and Cayenne pepper in it to give a good warm taste to this stout. In the wintertime this would be an excellent drink to savor.

The place had many stuff to do too. Like giant block Jenga. Test your roping skills with the dummy bull. Plus pinball and trivial pursuit deck to test your knowledge. me and my brother did trivia while waiting for my brother cousin in law Carl to come over.


Meanwhile I then had the Mostly Harmless. This was my least favorite of the batch it had a citrus taste to it that I didn't like. It was trying too hard to be a shocktop beer. Thou to be honest, I'll try it again to see if I was wrong about it.



Then Carl came over and we started talking. Then we tried two alternate Wicket awesome. One made with Vanilla and one made with Snickers. The Vanilla one was a smooth drink. It was like drinking a beer with ice cream it was delightful. The Snicker one thou was a miss. It sorta tasted too flat for me. You could taste the nuts in it. It ended my day on a down note as far as beers go.


After saying bye to Carl we talked to Heather a little more. Then found out more about the brewery and activity. It has Sunday video games night for the retro gamer that play the games on a 20 foot screen. Also they have food trucks that come by so you can get your grub on. Spoiler alert do not go on a Friday during lent. The BBQ truck was a strong temptation to me and my bro.

Also they have a Yoga night. Plus Trivia night and beer tasting night on Thursday. If you want to sample their beer they have a sampler. They also have Eureka gears and stickers to support the brand. Finally they also have cans of beers. So if you want to take some home you can.

I like to thank Heather and Brent for showing us around. I can't wait to come over again when it's not meatless Friday and eat and drink beers there.


If you want to know more about them. Please visit their website. http://www.eurekaheights.com Tell them Brad sent you over.

Trumpcare! How Ryan plan is not the plan your looking for.

Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. Here is what I'm looking at this week. Paul Ryan released the alternative to Obamacare. Some of the points are good for example.  Protects the most vulnerable Americans to ensure that no individual would be turned down by a participating
Exchange insurers based on age or health.  Gives Americans the same standard health benefits as Members of Congress, so all Americans have a wide range
of choices.

Yet the problem is they want to keep many of the ideals of Obamacare. No where does it has the part where Americans can go across state lines if they want to get the cheapest Insurance coverage. Paul Ryan should know by now when we say kill Obamacare we don't mean kill it with kindness we say kill it with fire. It should be the last nail in the failed policy grave of Obama.

Attorney General Sessions have asked the remaining 48 U.S. attorneys appointed by former President Obama to resign. This shouldn't be a big deal yet it is to many democrats yet it has been a standard operating procedure for incoming Administrations to ask the previous presidential staff to resign.  The libs are acting like this is like the Saturday Night Massacre, which Richard Nixon's dismissed independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and as a result spur the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus. This is a big deal of nothing. Unless they were trying to undermine the president?



Finally Wednesday was International Women’s Day. So the Libs had a day without a woman's day. Except not many women skipped out. The rules were Women take the day off, from paid and unpaid labor. Avoid shopping for one day (with exceptions for small, women- and minority-owned businesses). Finally wear RED in solidarity with A Day Without A Woman. While some may have gotten their and I quote "p***y hats" and march most women I know were taking care of their kids or working to provide for them or trying to better themselves. Women share the same inalienable rights as men. Get paid the same as men in some fields and a lot more in others. They should protest the lack of rights in countries like Saudi Arabia, Oman ,Iran and other Muslims countries. Where it a crime to walk by themselves. Drive a car or vote. Be the brave women and protest there I dare you. Yet they won't because the woman who lead the whole thing Rasmea Yousef Odeh  is a convicted terrorist. Who support the horror women face in Islamic countries.

Refugees block list and why it is good and bad for us.

 Welcome to the Brad Essex Report. Here is what I'm looking at this week. President Trump announced that he is placing a ban on refugees from 7 countries. His policy is

(a) secure the southern border of the United States through the immediate
construction of a physical wall on the southern border, monitored and supported by
adequate personnel so as to prevent illegal immigration, drug and human trafficking,
and acts of terrorism;

(b) detain individuals apprehended on suspicion of violating Federal or State law,
including Federal immigration law, pending further proceedings regarding those
violations;

(c) expedite determinations of apprehended individuals' claims of eligibility to remain
in the United States;

(d) remove promptly those individuals whose legal claims to remain in the United
States have been lawfully rejected, after any appropriate civil or criminal sanctions
have been imposed; and

(e) cooperate fully with States and local law enforcement in enacting Federal-State
partnerships to enforce Federal immigration priorities, as well as State monitoring and
detention programs that are consistent with Federal law and do not undermine Federal
immigration priorities.

His other Ex. order is Sec. 2. Policy.

It is the policy of the executive branch to:
(a) Ensure the faithful execution of the immigration laws of the United States,
including the INA, against all removable aliens, consistent with Article II, Section 3 of
the United States Constitution and section 3331 of title 5, United States Code;
(b) Make use of all available systems and resources to ensure the efficient and
faithful execution of the immigration laws of the United States;
(c) Ensure that jurisdictions that fail to comply with applicable Federal law do not
receive Federal funds, except as mandated by law;
(d) Ensure that aliens ordered removed from the United States are promptly removed;
and
(e) Support victims, and the families of victims, of crimes committed by removable
aliens.
Sec. 3. Definitions. The terms of this order, where applicable, shall have the meaning
provided by section 1101 of title 8, United States Code.
Sec. 4. Enforcement of the Immigration Laws in the Interior of the United States. In
furtherance of the policy described in section 2 of this order, I hereby direct agencies to employ all lawful means to ensure the faithful execution of the immigration laws of
the United States against all removable aliens.

 This is all mumbo jumbo to most people but it just a clear up of the laws that are already in the book.

Yet this is also a bad idea cause we are blocking many Christians who live there to escape to America but it is a thing we need to fix as well as find ways to ferret out Muslims extremists.

 One last thing thou is this. So this is never easy to write today is the birthday of my friend Andrew Brietbart. To say he was just a friend is a misnomer. He taught me that to have a passion in something you love make going to a shitty job bearable. His belief in me got me thru days where I fucking hated my life. I always remember how he told Dennis Miller about how good a writer, I was when I called in to the Dennis Miller show. That told me he would of been there for me had he not passed. Andrew fought his critics with a smile and determined thought to expose the bad guys. I wanted to interview people and find out what make people tick. Plus maybe expose a slimeball too. I always write a post about him because it is therapeutic also to remind myself that the fight still goes on. I miss you my friend and I hope you're over by the bar having a wine and a good laugh. Thank you sir, and god bless your soul my friend. Also your legacy will always live on even thou people like Steve Bannon are trying to destroy it.

  Update. I have 80,000 views of my blog. I like to thank you all for reading my blog. I try to make a difference everyday and this blog is an extension of it. I like to thank all my regular readers and new ones who pop in here to see what happening in the world without the mumbo jumbo! Thank you and god bless you all.
