However, I would say that one of the most avoidable injuries are the injuries dealing with hot and cold weather. As a boy growing up in Southern Arizona, I learned, sometimes painfully, that extreme heat can be just as dangerous as extreme cold. Heat stroke, exhaustion, and sun burns can be very dangerous, and painful. But, in the big picture of things, the most overlooked type of injuries are weather related.

This week I want to pass on some truth about my old adversary, the news media. This comes from being flooded by news streams and social media providers, to the point where it is rebroadcast on my local NBC affiliate news program.
Today’s show, I’d like to disclose more about personal safety and security as the modern-day global community has become increasingly violent and unpredictable. This week I want to break-down and design our family safety plan.
However, the modus operandi of these types of groups is to fill the publics’ head full of misinformation. So, let’s talk about misinformation… what is it? So, in speaking about the broadcast of misinformation, I’d like to talk about our current adversary, the media.
However, today I want to discuss some of the threats to our national security, and maybe some possible fixes. While I hope I enlightened you a little last week with our discussion about defunding the police, I wanted to drill down a little further into the major, large scale crimes that affect the US Security as well know it.
