In a few years, or maybe even months, it will be possible to stuff this image into a search bar, and get back the ID.

Not just "facial recognition", but every image recognition.  Stay tuned.

 Let's say you have already voted for president.   Let's say you were so energized you voted early - in person or by mail.  

Let's say though, that as a citizen you are very concerned with the outcome of the presidential race in Ohio - Ohio perhaps being the most important electoral state in the Union.

Now we know, you have access to the internet and to publishing vehicles like REALNEO.US.

So what would you do to amplify your presidential vote?  Just go home and remain silent?

How is silence patriotic?

 Mr. Rokakis, a tax earning double dipper living in the burbs,  has some sage advice for those of us who pay taxes in the City of Cleveland - YOU MUST VOTE YES on 107!

The same sunspot produced three strong flares before this one in just the two days since it became visible from Earth's perspective. "This means more flares are probably in the offing, and they will become increasingly Earth-directed as the sunspot turns toward our planet in the days ahead," astronomer Tony Phillips wrote on Spaceweather.com, a website that tracks skywatching and space weather events.

Sources at Smartech, the company responsible for stealing the election in Ohio in 2004, revealed to Free Press journalist Jill Simpson that the next man in the middle attack would be launched by Scytl from its US headquarters, a location in suburban Virginia that was formerly owned by its managing director, Hugh Gallagher, and seems to serve as his private home. We believe it was Hugh who watched from the windows as our investigators photographed the home.

This is a "back of the napkin" sketch! Honest!

I was at dinner tonight, and the lady across from me was in a conversation and I saw her writing on her napkin...

I looked closer and asked if I could take a picture.

People do get it.  

What would a map of Cleveland look like?  The image above is a map of Columbia in 2005 - since then FARC has dwindled...

If Cleveland were mapped with supporters and non-supporters of the corporate controlled status quo - would Cleveland look like Columbia?

Probably more Orange and Red in Cleveland...
