How did we get here? Trump Elected President As of today, November 6, 2024 Trump has 51% of the total votes and 277 electoral votes. It was difficult to write that, given my belief that Trump wants absolute rule. “We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’” ...

Once upon a time, talking back to your elders was unacceptable. If you were an asshole to teachers, there were consequences both at school and at home. Fast forward to the current day, kids run public schools, while adult leaders lie, cheat, steal, and do whatever they want with few consequences. How did American society get here? Lying Was Offensive Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, was impeached in 1998 for lying about cheating on Hilary Clinton with Monica Lewinsky. Before Bill lied on the stand, I thought Bill’s personal life wasn’t any of my business. However, when he was caught lying, I lost all respect for him. Lying was offensive in 1998, but today it’s “Just how it is.”. ...

As our republic’s free world leadership status remains in question, the climate ravages the world, the global economy causes misery, and we’re confronted with a potential WWIII, our citizens are arguing about appropriate gender roles. Why are we doing this? Gender Is A Spectrum “Even the biological categories of male and female are blurred; we know today that not just the X and Y chromosomes but at least 12 others across the human genome govern sex differentiation, and at least 30 genes are involved in sex development.” ...

In 2018 I woke up. I’ve watched politics from afar most of my life. I kept it at arm’s length because it wastes time, and it still does. However, when I saw Donald J Trump as a threat, I had no choice but to become politically active. I started this blog and posted what I learned. I scoured books and waded through articles with facts, opinions, and everything else. I became a political sponge. ...

Let’s make responsibility great again. It’s no secret that the United States has fallen on hard times. After the January 6th insurrection, the United States of America has lost its reputation as an impervious bastion of the free world. In the following paragraphs, I will explain why irresponsibility is a core problem U.S. citizens must tackle. The Problem To illustrate what I mean by irresponsibility, I will tell a personal story. ...

The United States Congress needs accountability, and it needs it now. I’ve had enough of the rules for thee not-for-me game; how about you? I peer from the sidelines of America and see a bunch of assholes getting away with everything. There’s a long-form Wikipedia page that describes charges against Donald Trump, for fucks sake! And now Axios is reporting on Trump’s crusade to fire 50,000 civil servants across the federal government. How in the actual fuck is this piece of shit getting away with this? ...

Why are Republicans trying to destroy America? They are attempting to turn America into an illiberal Democracy as I write these words. At every turn, they complain about problems they created while sabotaging solutions. If you spend too much time following these crazy people on Twitter as I do, you’ll quickly understand their tactics. Attack & Sabotage Gas just hit $4.37 & people can’t get baby formula in the country Biden claims to be running. He’d rather focus on a bill that members have 4 hours to read & includes $40 billion more for aid to Ukraine & possibly $8.8 billion to fight “global disinformation”. AMERICA FIRST! ...

Peace is weak; therefore, we must defend it. Once upon a time, I muttered to myself, “What a boring age.”. Oh, how I was wrong. My life has been turned upside down by a global pandemic, a brush with fascism, an ongoing dance with WWIII, and worldwide inflation. I could throw in the decentralization of finance as well; why not? I’m optimistic about decentralized finance, but I’m dubious of its power. I can imagine a world where despots have zero consequences for their actions. I can imagine decentralized despots giving the world a giant finger as they use nukes as an excuse to invade countries. ...

We must remove Putin and strengthen Democracy. We have no choice but to steel our resolve and fight to keep our voices. Authoritarian countries have gained power in recent years, and it’s up to us to peacefully convince the rest of the world that living free is not only possible but required. I have direct ties to Ukraine. I have amazing Ukrainian friends I worked with, drank too many beers and shots of Vodka with, and deeply love. I am friends with them on social media and recently learned that most have fled Ukraine. I don’t know the status of one friend, and one of their mothers and his spouse’s mother are still living in Ukraine, and he fears for their lives. ...

We are not enemies; we are human beings attempting to survive. I started ignoring Russell Brand’s commentary on life, the universe, and everything, but not anymore, not after this. Brand entertains discussions with divisive shit bags and elevates their bothersome voices. However, as Brand says in this video, the REAL political arch-villain is big business. ...
