I confess, I am a bit at a loss when deciding what to write about today. I could write about new information I read on the coronavirus from the state department website, or I could talk about the massive military occupation of Washington D.C. for Biden’s inauguration or the fact that there was concern that …
So, today’s the day, the day that President-Elect Biden is going to be sworn in as the forth-sixth president of the United States. In light of this rather monumental happening, I figured I’d give y’all a little overview of Inauguration Day. One: Inauguration Day Used to Be March 4 For over 100 years, incoming presidents …
In the wake of the mass corporate purging of Donald Trump (and those associated with him), I couldn’t help but respond to a few posts on Twitter of people glorifying such a purge. I responded to one such tweet with my own tweet, dripping with a little drama: “Dangerous levels of power. For those cheering …
Read this quote from a recent Bloomberg article: “Would George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, or Thomas Jefferson wear facemasks? Would they have closed down American society, abrogating all constitutional rights and freedoms out of fear of a pandemic?” It’s a fascinating question and one that I’m thrilled Americans are still asking. It’s a unique American trait …

Before reading further, I challenge everyone to go take a look at the new COVID relief bill I reference here. Here’s the link. It’s 5,593 pages long, so good luck reading the whole thing. It’s astonishing to me how flippant our legislators have become when writing law. Law is no small things. It’s law. It’s …

Give all the power to the few, they will oppress the many. ” – ALEXANDER HAMILTON I’m listening to a biography of Alexander Hamilton right now, (which is fascinating btw; click here if you’re interested in getting the book for yourself.) and I love …
Have you noticed how significant the courts have been to politics recently? It seems like every major political issue hinges on either the Court or courts. (By Court, I mean the Supreme Court, courts means all other federal or state courts along with the Supreme Court.) The Constitutionality of coronavirus lockdowns? The courts. The legitimacy …
I came across an article today, entitled “Committee Recommends Changing Name Of Abraham Lincoln High School Because He Allegedly Didn’t Prove Black Lives Matter”. I don’t usually venture into the social/racial sphere of things, but when I read this, something snapped in me and I knew I had to take to the keyboard.
The article’s second paragraph says, “Lincoln is among dozens of figures who the school district renaming committee argues led a life filled with racism and therefore shouldn’t be on a school building, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.”
