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

Try something. Type “election fraud and the courts” into google and see what you find. You’ll see a bunch of articles discussing a bunch of attempted court cases to review the legitimacy of the past election. You’ll see that almost every single one of these appeals was shot down by the courts. In fact, of

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

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.”
When I read that, I was struck by something, a realization, a fascinating realization. This realization is what I’m going to share with you today. Click to read more.

The idea of a “right” is just that, an idea.
So, political scientists and philosophers have created, defined and re-defined what they see as three categories of “rights”. I’m not going to get into a discussion about my own thoughts about these “rights” so much as arm you with some critical information about these rights so that you can understand and grasp what America is dealing with today.

I’ve written about this plenty of times, but I don’t think I’ve seen arbitrary power put so dramatically on display as I have in the past few months. Where does it stop? When does it stop? Click to read more.

I want to have a bit of fun today and use fiction to commentate on the experiences we’re currently walking through. I came across an article entitled, “America’s New Normal—Silent, Obedient Consent”. In this article the author references the movie, V for Vendetta. I’ve seen the movie once or twice, but as a teenager watching it, I didn’t really understand what was going on or the message conveyed. I find, upon refreshing my memory, that this movie is more relevant today than it was at is release. Click and enjoy.
