Let’s talk about this, shall we? Hear me out. Don’t eyeroll at me! Yes, the electoral college is discussed, at length, every four years. But you know what? Nothing is ever done about it. So, the main argument I keep hearing for keeping this ancient form of choosing a President is so that big cities and coastal states don’t decide…

Vote Hard
Pump Up the Volume has always been one of my favorite movies. The story of a lonely, scared teenager who finds a way to vent his frustrations about the world around him through a pirated radio station. And what starts off as a way for him to deal with his own issues, begins to inspire and help others who were…
An Interview With Representative Erin Zwiener
With only a few days until early voting begins in Texas, I sit down with Representative Erin Zwiener of Texas District 45. We discuss her first campaign as an incumbent and what she is fighting for in District 45.
Angry America
To be blunt, I am tired of hearing how Black Lives Matter and Antifa are terrorist organizations trying to destroy America. If you tell me that then I instantly know you have no clue what you are talking about. And no, for those already getting triggered by this, I am not saying anyone who criticizes Black Lives Matter is wrong.…
The President Who Cried Wolf
Let’s face it, the President of the United States lies. A lot. It is how he operates. It is his biggest and best strategy. Lie about everything at all times. How many of you thought he was lying about having Covid-19? Or if he did have it, he was lying about how bad. Or what treatment he was taking. Or…
A Sick President
I am not celebrating the news of President Trump and many of his inner circle testing positive for Covid-19. I am angry. To put it another way, I’m pissed off. Pissed off at the months and months of blatant disregard for the virus. Reckless doublespeak over how bad it is. The “playing down” and mocking of science. Not wearing masks…
Be Prepared
I truly believe we are about to enter one of the darkest times in our country’s history. I truly believe many lives will be lost. I don’t know if there is a way to stop it from happening. I think Trump and his supporters have created such a fantasy world of potential conspiracies involving the election that they will riot…
Stand Back and Stand By
He said that. To the Proud Boys. When asked to condemn white supremacy he said to the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist hate group known for extreme violence, to stand back and stand by. Stand by for what? Could it be for when, moments later, you told your supporters to go to the polls and watch. Go and watch the democrats…
The American Dream?
The American Dream has been promised to us long before our country was even created. All the way back in 1630, John Winthrop gave his famous City Upon a Hill sermon, promising a land where everyone could prosper. 146 years later our forefathers stated in the Declaration of Independence that all men were created equal with the right to life,…
Police Oversight Project
This is not a project that I am affiliated with but one that support completely. I believe oversight of the police should be handled by the police themselves but rather the city and the people they work for. If you want to learn more or even volunteer to help, click on this link: https://www.policeoversightproject.com/ “The Police Oversight Project is a…
The Whole World Is Watching
We have been stripped bare. The emperor wearing our new clothes. The curtain has been thrown open revealing the truth and we are not the great and powerful Oz. The shining city upon a hill has dimmed and buckled under its own weight. And the whole world is watching. The whole world is watching as the greatest nation on the…
