Bourne Legacy review and storyline

WARNING : SPOILERS!

Let me say that I am a huge Jason Bourne fan. I was excited to see another Bourne movie released, but shocked to hear Matt Damon would not be in it when it was first announced.
Ill start off by saying that it just isn't the same movie without Jason Bourne. Treadstone and Blackbriar have been replaced with an operation called "Outcome". Agent 5, Aaron, doesn't suffer from amnesia, and doesn't need to find out who he is. Instead he happens to save his last doctor who wasn't assassinated in a rouge attack. Then they flee the ever CIA and secret task forces that are tracking their every move only hours behind them. This next generation called "outcome" was taking chemicals to keep their brains from frying. Aaron has lost his chemicals and only has hours to survive. He and his doctor, Marta Shering fly off to the lab in the Philippines to give Aaron the vaccine so that he won't require the chemicals anymore. When the CIA realize what they are doing they Dispatch a local agent to neutralize him. It ends in a long, exciting chase scene with Aaron and Marta winning. They then flew on a large fishing boat. I could only wonder how far it could actually take them. The ending is abrupt. The entire story isn't as in depth as the Bourne trilogy. It's a good watch, but can't match the originals.

House Votes to Repeal Obamacare - Sign the iPledge today


On July 11, 2012, the House of Representatives voted to repeal Obamacare, which was railroaded into law a little over two years ago by a liberal Congress. The Supreme Court surprisingly upheld the law and the U.S. Senate and President Obama continue to stand in the way of a full repeal. Votes matter, and now it is up to we, the peopleto let our voices be heard in November on this issue and others -- like the sanctity of life, marriage, and religious freedom.
This summer both political parties will be holding their respective conventions to offer their agendas to we, the people. Join me in signing the iPledge and send a message to both parties that our votes will only go to those candidates who affirm the Constitution and biblical values.
It is up to we, the people to commit to:
  1. Pray for the nation and the November elections
  2. Prepare by registering and encouraging 2 others to vote
  3. Participate in the election by only voting for candidates who will uphold the Constitution and biblical values.
If you agree, sign the pledge and encourage as many as your friends and family to take the pledge!

What happened to our 1st ammendment rights? If this really is just about people being able to safely exit a building as the prosecutor says then won't every party and gathering require a permit? But of course thats not the case. Its about religious persecution.

Protect 4th Amendment Rights Online!


The House and Senate are currently considering legislation to protect your Fourth Amendment rights by reforming the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) to make it more relevant to today’s technologies.
The ECPA Amendments Act (S.1011) would protect your private information stored remotely or in the “cloud” (such as web-based email) from unreasonable search and seizure. Additionally, the Geolocational Privacy and Surveillance Act (S. 1212/H.R. 2168) requires law enforcement agencies to acquire a warrant to track the location of citizens through their cell phones or GPS devices. Contact your federal lawmakers today and tell them to support these critically important bills!

Generation Joshua iGovern Pacific


I had the privilege of being on staff at GenJ iGovern camp part of last week from Thursday through Saturday. So I've also been off the bike for four days! (Always feels like forever when it's more than two days) but it was worth it.
This isn't a full post, it'll come soon. Just wanna make a teaser kinda. I love camp. Both as a camper, and now as a counselor. Still, the kids minister to me as much as we do to them. This week was no exception. It reminded us to be thankful for everything, not take anything for granted.
Chapels were awesome, food great, we ate like royalty! I got to meet my congressman Ed Royce!
More to come later.

Yorba Linda Police services costs

The termination of Yorba Linda's contract with Brea police Department and new contract with the Orange county sheriff's means they will have to replace lots of signs like these. I wonder if they thought about stuff like that. The city is going to find itself spending a lot of money on incidentals like these along the way.
