Learn the real reason you want to hate Trump narrated by a traditionalist Christian news organization named The Remnant and directed by a cradle catholic, Michael Matt, whose father founded it in 1968. Religion is dangerous when dogma is established, and reason cannot penetrate it. It’s safe to say that The Remnant adheres to and promotes dangerous religious dogma. Fundamentalist Christians justify voting for Trump on one hand yet condemn people for sinning on the other hand by using dogma as leverage. ...

Change the political system? It’s possible, but it isn’t easy because a human’s attention is an unapologetic discriminator. Have you ever seen a light fixture covered with cobwebs and dust and only realized it was dirty when you saw it? I’m not a fan of assuming things, but I’ll assume you have. We get so used to ignoring details as humans that some things never change when they should. Here are some observations about societal fixtures that are imbalanced in the United States. ...

It has been some time since I started engaging in deep self-reflection. It has helped me immensely and is a cornerstone of my self-development efforts. A large part of us is beginning to reflect on the state of our social contract. The Coronavirus is forcing many of us to stop and think about everything. When I started self-reflecting, it wasn’t easy. It took years to recognize the ways I was limiting myself. Many of my habits were self-destructive and thwarted most of my self-improvement efforts. I’m happy to say that most of the epic battles are over, and I feel in tune with the world now. My fear is diminished, my strength is way up, and I’m ready to take on the planet. ...

Iron Fists It’s open season on Freedom. We can only hope for a purple wave. We are living in a police state. On July 25th, 2020, in downtown Portland, this is what is happening in the United States. Navy vets, like Chris David, are beaten on the street for asking why fascists are being fascists. ...

Citizens of the United States are living in a time where reason has taken a back seat, and facts have become the enemy. Luckily, other countries are fighting the good fight by sticking to the facts. I wish the figurehead in The Whitehouse in 2020 had a capacity for reason. Unfortunately, narcissists cannot employ logic in their daily lives. If a person likens himself with Abraham Lincoln, who also had skeletons in his closet, it’s clear that their ego has inflated beyond repair. ...

The COVID-19 virus has exposed fundamental flaws in the winner take all Capitalism-backed system in the United States. We are seeing a massive amount of deaths and are having fights about whether we should wear masks. The answer is yes; we should wear a mask when appropriate. Here are a few of the problems U.S. citizens are facing thanks to the current system. Exposure to the virus is forced The expectation in many workplaces is that people who are sick will work. It’s not written in employment contracts, but companies don’t hire extra people so they can deal with schedule changes. Many businesses act like doing business is a life or death situation. These irresponsible businesses can’t imagine missing a dollar because someone is sick. ...

Hello, citizens of the United States and citizens of other countries that have lost the plot. Why does a country exist if not to benefit the people that live in that country? The citizens of a country must obey the rules of the country in which they reside. The social and codified contracts that exist between citizens of a country should benefit the whole and not the few. The United States is so far behind the curve on understanding the practices that make a country great that it’s absurd. ...

I live in the United States. Things are getting weird here. What used to be a reasonable country that placed a high value on science, morals, and upstanding character has fallen into disarray. What happened? Why did the United States elevate stupidity as a virtue? I have a couple of theories. Humans are inherently lazy? All the challenging work is done In the early years of the United States, there were plenty of clear challenges available for the masses. Our country was being built from the ground up with a new purpose, innovative ideas, and everyone wanted a piece of the action. In contrast to the present day, we have completed the big projects, and now we’re in maintenance mode. We the people need new, shiny, and lofty ideas that everyone can get behind. ...

I am having a tough time with this 2020 reality. I’m not having the tough time that many people are. I’m incredibly lucky to be working full-time without interruptions. I’m able to work remotely and social distance with little effort. I’m getting more done now than I have in the past year. I have fewer distractions and am hyper-focused as of late. Unfortunately, I have been incredibly negative as I watch the chaos reported across the country. It’s nauseating to see all the hate, fear, and loathing foment into a torrent of emotions on all sides. I don’t understand why people can’t look at the misinformation, discard it, and move on with their lives. ...
