What happened was that the craft had too many people on board. The  employees on board offered those on board $800 to leave the plane so more United employees could fly. Employees volunteered three individuals at random to leave, one of which was Dr. David Dao. Dao, 69, told the employees that he had patients he needed to see at his destination, so he refused to give up his seat. Officials with the Chicago Department of Aviation then violently dragged Dr. Dao. through the aisle of the aircraft. Dao was shown bloodied and broken in photos taken from the plane. United Airlines CEO blamed "system failure" for the incident. Dr. Dao, however, stated that everything feels injured. He is recovering at a Chicago hospital for the time being. United Airline's abuse toward Dr. Dao has ...

Photo Credit: spoilersguide After an extremely heartbreaking first half of season 5, the good people over at CMT have decided to bring back the popular show for a 6th season. However, there is a catch. While most of Nashville's run on ABC and CMT have lasted 20-22 episodes a season, season 6 of 'Nashville' will be cut down to 16 episodes.

Nashville ranks as the network’s highest-rated and most-watched show in the network’s history, averaging 2.1 million weekly viewers." The midseason return of 'Nashville' has been set for June 1. The second half of season 5 will also bring the arrival of Jeff Nordling, Rachel Bilson, and Kaitlin Doubleday. Don't fret folks! If you have mis...

The chemical attack killed 80 women, children, and men. On Friday, people wondered if the 535 members of Congress knew about the plan. A White House official said that over 2 dozen members of Congress were briefed about the plan to attack. House Speaker Paul Ryan was among those who had knowledge of Trump's plan of attack.

Long time, no see readers! I know it's been quite a long time since I've blogged. I hope I haven't lost you guys completely. The reason why I have been missing in action is because I had a major surgery. As most of you know, I been suffering from spinal issues for over 4 years. It's been moderate to severe pain everyday. I had my first fusion in 2014 and I failed to fuse. It's a condition called Pseudarthrosis (failure to fuse). It's very rare for someone my age. I tried to live with it, tried to work, changed careers many times, but the pain was too much and my issues with walking worsened. Last month, I had a revision spinal fusion. My neurosurgeon went in and replaced my hardware with larger rods and screws. He also put in a putty graft to help encourage bone growth. My surgery actually occurred on the day of a blizzard and I had no family or friends to greet me once I got out of surgery. It sucked, but I understood. The governor had issued a travel...
