I am a child born in the early 70s. I am the son of a history teacher/football coach and I have inherited his gift of reading writing research. I am pursuing this skill set wholeheartedly here in the second part of my journey.

imagine: a Native American is elected president of the United States. And argues before the Supreme Court that everyone who is descended from other countries must pack up and move back to their original countries. Seems like that could be a trend! Huh?🤣🤣🤣

Review: An astonishing lead performance by Jennifer Lawrence keeps Lynne Ramsay’s “Die My Love” from falling apart. The Oscar-winning actress is funny and feral as a new mom who gives in to her every impulse.

washingtonpost.comReview | Jennifer Lawrence is brilliant in an otherwise underbaked ‘Die My Love’Director Lynne Ramsay insists the film, in which Lawrence plays an erratic new mother, is not about postpartum depression. How could it not be?

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

If I were to defy a court order, I'd be in jail, not building a ballroom. Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Just a hypothetical, perhaps a storyline or a narrative for a book of mine to come. What if they were allowed to enjoy the new Mar-a-Lago country club and they can have a huge party to celebrate. At least then they’ll all be in one place at the same time. Maybe…

Trump's FTC just deleted articles by former Chair Lina Khan about the dangers of AI. Meanwhile, Trump is fast-tracking data center permits after Big Tech gave huge donations to his inauguration. AI is making the richest Americans even richer while everyone else pays the price.

There are many different examples of what happens when masses of people become starving. “Starving mad “this is an old saying. If he trace back some of the most insane evil situations, masses of people within nations have been driven into. We usually blame one person. In the end, it’s starvation

Just look at Nazi Germany. I’m just saying. When did hate become free speech? Seems to me we are playing a rigged. Game of chance. And we’ve been doing it a long time. Am I a revolutionary? Well, I think everyone is unless you think the world is flat lol

And nowadays, the insanity level, which is not based on too much hunger or fear yet has people so filled with pride and Everest that they dare say with prideful hate, and anger so certain and confidence to say out loud that they believe the world is flat! Orwellian-if you don’t know read 1984

Why is communism evil? I say communism is simply communism but when you try to have a country running with no capital or money how do you buy the resources needed from other countries? You can’t because they won’t give them to you. And then hunger, which equals fearwhich turns into insanity

This is the recipe being forced on our country and other places as well for evil to rise. It doesn’t matter what belief system you are in or religion or political, beliefs, or what culture insanity is a leverage by creating a level of fear which turns into hopelessness and once you do that… Well,

With SNAP benefits ending for millions & the economy shrinking what little resources food banks have, I’m sharing food resource supports & educators/creators. Rebecca Chobat runs the account Dollar Tree Dinners—she educates on how to shop/cook thrifty like $100 budget for 30 days (90 meals) 🧵

It’s about time I go on a hunger strike. Sometimes the universe aligns and right now it seems like I’m about to lose some weight. Maybe we should wait for the next election but I doubt we’ll ever get there. If you don’t see that one coming you’re not paying attention.

$40 billion to bailout Argentina $250 million for a White House ballroom Who knows how much wasted to deploy the National Guard where there’s no need But the Agriculture Department says there’s no money for SNAP-which feeds 42 million Americans The Trump administration doesn’t care if we all die

Competition is fun and is used for games. But life can be fun and games are for amusement, but in the end life is serious and survival needs teamwork. Life equals health and our constitution or the totality of our body needs regulation and amendments as we age. I hope this is just growing pains.

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

If you can’t see that, we have elected or allowed to be elected because we have been playing a game rather than doing the peoples work well the point is criminals now run everything. Orwellian is an understatement. But very relevant as well. Justice must be fixed, monetization must be regulated.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Kudos to these universities for standing up to Trump's demands.

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021. The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.
