Our Rally to Fund TORARADICALcom

For a while we've discussed the future of the site and our goals for it.

We've tried to make things happen on our own, but it just hasn't happened.

So now we ask you to help us in our endeavors to grow.

Earlier today we started a money raising goal with Rally.

We chose them as they take the lowest percentage out of donations, meaning the largest amount possible of your donations will go the actual funding of the site and it's writers.

Ten thousand dollars was chosen as the amount following discussions with various web designers as to what they would need to make the site we want.

While the rally is going, I will be putting at least one hundred dollars a month towards it, and you will be able to see me on the list of contributors.

I want it to be very clear that I'm not just asking for you to make this happen, but for it be obvious that you are helping me make the goals for the site a reality.

If you believe in us and would like to help us hire a web designer so that we can build a full site and be able pay our writers, then please do so by going to our rally.

Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which came out for this past weekend, is simply the best comic book movie ever made.

The movie takes place after The Avengers, which took place after the first Captain America movie.

Chris Evans reprises his role as the Captain/Steve Rogers, who has mostly come to terms with the new world he found himself in after being recovered from the ice he was encased in after the first movie.

The Captain maintains his belief that that which is right and good is always the thing to do. He also has his strong desire to see freedom for all, even if it means that there isn't complete security.

In this second movie he is joined by Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, who we've seen in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers.

Together, with the help of Falcon/Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie, and Maria Hill, played by Cobie Smulders, they find themselves facing the threats posed by The Winter Soldier, as he tries to destroy Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, and SHIELD.

Other notable actors include Robert Redford, Emily VanCamp, Frank Grillo, Maximiliano Hernandez, Hayley Atwell, Callan Mulvey, UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre, and of course Stan Lee makes his usual cameo.

From the story, to the action, to the humor, and on it was a great movie. It was very well made and I really just loved it. I'd go into more detail, but in the name of avoiding spoilers won't.

My only fault in the film is that once you've created the Avengers, why wouldn't Iron Man, Hawkeye, and the Hulk come to the aid of the rest of their group. Of course I thought the same thing in Iron Man 3, but the writers don't seem to agree.

Do yourself a favor and make sure you see this one. And when you do make sure to stay through the entire credits. There are two separate extras in and after them.

Captain America 3 Announced

That will be a huge movie day as Warner Brother's sequel to Man of Steel is also set to come out that day.

A fight between the two major comic universes will defintely be a big way to start off that summer.

Russian troops are encamped just across the border and the leaders of the rebellion have called for them to come in and protect them.

Ukraine is trying to end things peacefully, but that may be a forgone conclusion.

Mickey Rooney, Dead at 93

Legendary actor Mickey Rooney has died at the age of ninety-three. He had been ill recently and died of natural causes.

Born Joe Yule Jr., on September 23, 1920 in Brooklyn, New York, he was part of his parent's vaudeville act by the age of two.

He entered the film industry in 1926 and continued to act into 2012, with roles in over two hundred films, TV and stage shows.

His prodigious amount of parts leave many favorites behind, through all living generations, with several of his most famous roles being across from Judy Garland.

Rooney was the first teenager ever nominated for an Academy Award, and was honored several times by the awards, but never won an Oscar.

During World War II he served in the Army, but was kept as an entertainer for the troops.

Mickey will be remembered as the great entertainer that he was. His spirit will be missed, but will continued to be shared with future generations.

Hungary's Elections Leave Orban in Power

Elections took place in Hungary, on Sunday.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party maintained their majority in Parliament to assure him a third term leading the government.

However, every other party gained ground against them.

Most worrisome is the Jobbik party's gain, giving them twenty-three states.

Jobbik does not even bother hiding their neo Nazi status or attitudes.

Their gain of power is a scary thing for many Hungarians.

Pro Russia Activists Attack Government Buildings in Eastern Ukraine

Pro Russian activists stormed government buildings in eastern Ukraine, on Sunday.

Buildings in Donetsk were broken into and occupied after crowds broke through police lines.

Luhansk and Kharkiv each also saw protests, though they weren't as violent there.

Dozens were injured among the protesters and police.

The demonstrators are demanding referendums to allow their areas to leave Ukraine and join Russia.

President Vladimir Putin reiterated that Russia has the right to defend people of Russian heritage.

Putin used the same excuse to invade and take over Crimea, in March.

Russian troops have maintained a presence, along the border, despite Putin's promises to withdraw them.

The international community has placed sanctions against Russian leaders and called the takeover of Crimea illegal, but has not committed to any further actions.

Mazda Recalls 42,000 Cars Because of Spiders

Mazda has announced a recall of forty-two thousand vehicles because of spiders.

Yellow sac spiders have been found in several vehicles, leading to the recall.

The spiders are attracted to hydrocarbons and build their webs in a vent hose, which leads to increased pressure and an increased threat of fuel leaks and fire.

Mazda 6s with 2.5 liter engines, from 2010-2012, are under the recall.

Dealers will inspect and fix any issues for free.

McDonalds Closes Crimea Locations

McDonalds announced the closure of their locations in Crimea.

The company stated that, "Like many other multi-national companies, McDonald's is currently evaluating potential business and regulatory implications which may result from the evolving situation in Crimea".

All three locations, in Sevastopol, Simferopol, and Yalta, are owned directly by McDonalds and will be shut down indefinitely.

This is but the latest casualty of relations, since Russia invaded and seized the Ukrainian region.
