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

We’ve Lost Our Commonality and Natural Connections
Before I begin, here are some factors in my lens of the world: gay, husband, father of several adopted children, progressive liberal, fiscal moderate, believe refugees and immigrants are good for the U.S., educator, believe in family, think children need to be told no and awards/trophies should be earned, women have the right to control… Continue reading We’ve Lost Our Commonality and Natural Connections
Question: Why is Biden Still Ahead in the National Polls?
Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/15/opinion/joe-biden.html, Mike Blake/Reuters Joe Biden should be hanging his head in shame. Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden recently stated he will not comply with a Senate subpoena around the impeachment of President Donald Trump. Then, he double-downed on his statement. This is a man who is running for the Presidency of the United States.… Continue reading Question: Why is Biden Still Ahead in the National Polls?
Are You as Exhausted as I Am?
Thursday night I slept for nine hours straight. That is almost unheard of for me as usually I’m quite fine on about five-and-a-half hours. It is even becoming a regular occurrence of having to take a nap when I get home to make it through the evening. I was and have been exhausted. I’m not… Continue reading Are You as Exhausted as I Am?
11 Books Read by Democrat Presidential Candidates
When I came across a list of books by the, then 24, Democratic presidential candidates, I decided I was going to read them. Luckily, the major candidates have whittled down, so I’ve read 11 of the books available (not all have books). Interestingly, no bookstore had them all. One would think they would have a… Continue reading 11 Books Read by Democrat Presidential Candidates
Where Have All Our Leaders Gone?
Every morning I wake up with many questions running through my head. One of the questions is always about leadership. I wonder if I have been a good leader? Have I set a good example? Have I inspired anyone to do better recently? Have I encouraged others to take risks knowing I will be there… Continue reading Where Have All Our Leaders Gone?
Educators Unite
I’ll begin by saying I’m not an organizer and have never organized a protest of any sort that I can recall. What I’m about to propose I freely give the mantle for someone else to hang and run with it. I’ll also say what I’m about to propose is radical, out-of-the-norm in many ways, and… Continue reading Educators Unite
Kangaroo Congress + Kangaroo President = Kangaroo Courts
Each time President Trump does something outlandish and illegal, the Democrats talk about settling it in the courts (rather than doing what they should, which is impeach). They can say they are going to court all they want. They can file the court papers. They might even win the first few rounds. At some point… Continue reading Kangaroo Congress + Kangaroo President = Kangaroo Courts
This Isn’t Who We Are!
We often hear, “This isn’t who we are!” The truth is, this is who we are, who we are now, and who we have become. The good news is, we have a choice of whether this who we remain. Votes matter. Vote! And vote for Democrats unless this is how you want US to remain.… Continue reading This Isn’t Who We Are!
Trump is right, MSM is fake news!
Yes, you read that right; I’m agreeing with President Trump. Mainstream Media is fake news, but not for the reasons he thinks. It’s fake news because MSM is still trying to spin Trump as a usual president. They mince and wordsmith what is written in their online, TV, newspaper, and radio statements. To my knowledge,… Continue reading Trump is right, MSM is fake news!
