I am purposefully skipping Chapter 2 of On Tyranny for the moment as I have a little more research to do before posting about it. Chapter 3 is Beware the One-Party State. If you are paying attention and are woke, you will see we are quickly moving in this direction. Yes, we currently have two… Continue reading “On Tyranny: Beware the One-Party State” (Snyder)

Doing What’s Right Can Be Hard
Every day I’m reminded in some way that doing the right thing can be hard. Doing the right thing can be lonely. Have you ever seen something happening over a period of time, where many around you know it’s not okay, yet no one is willing to say anything. You realize the only way it… Continue reading Doing What’s Right Can Be Hard
Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
Where do you think this protest is taking place? New York? Los Angeles? Chicago? Miami? Columbus? Indianapolis? Don’t we wish! This is a protest, just one day out of month’s long protests in Hong Kong. Their government was trying to take rights away from them and they weren’t having any of it.

When the President carte blanched people not to answer lawful subpoenas and Republicans did nothing, we the people did nothing, and the courts… Continue reading The United States Constitution Experiment is Failing
“Lead from the Outside”
I recently finished reading Stacey Abrams’ book, Lead from the Outside. She has fascinated me from the first time I heard her speak as a candidate for Georgia governor. Following her campaign and after reading her book, I firmly believe she will be sitting in the White House one day, although I do wish she… Continue reading “Lead from the Outside”
