Trump Vs Wokeness
Recent news reports that Trump initiated an abrupt halt on federal grants and loans. According to press secretary, Karolin Leavitt, the reason for the attempted halt was because the administration was trying to be "good stewards" of public money by making sure that there was "no more funding for transgenderism and wokeness" however a federal judge, Judge Loren L. AliKhan for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a stay against a White House directive that ordered a spending freeze on federal assistance.

The Nasty Gender Identity Question
January 26, 2024. We are less than a week into Trump America and have witnessed a significant number of changes to our country and way of life. Trump completes one of his campaign promises to attack the most vulnerable and marginalized group in America: the LGBTQ+ community by signing his executive order claiming there are only two genders, the one assigned at birth. This gender is unchangeable. However, how is someone’s gender identity a threat to our country?

Reasons Why a Gay Man Loves Baseball
A gay man who loves baseball? No way! Yes, it's true. There are gay people who love America's past time. Don't believe me? Search #gaybaseballfan and you'll see a plethora of photos of people like me showing love for our respective teams. Not only that, but they're fans of their respective teams. 29 out of the 30 MLB teams celebrate Pride Night at their ballparks. The only one who has yet to do this is my beloved Texas Rangers. I've talked about them being homophobic and not having a Pride Night in a story last year, which I'll link down below. More recently, I had to call out Los Angeles Dodgers player Clayton Kershaw for bigoted and homophobic comments he made in an interview back in 2023. I didn't hold back in putting him in his place. I'll also have a link to that story down below. Let's just say that I let him know about myself and why I'll never look at him the same way again.

The Burden of Pride
In the small town of Willow Creek, there lived a woman named Linda, who was known for her beauty and pride. Coming from a wealthy family, she was raised in a lavish estate, adorned with every luxury imaginable. As a child, she was treated as royalty, never facing the struggles that many others in her community endured daily. This upbringing shaped her into a woman who often looked down on those less fortunate, her arrogance manifesting in cruel jests and dismissive glances.

A Message to Clayton Kershaw
Many of my readers know that I love baseball, especially the Texas Rangers. In case you didn't know that, you do now. Spring Training is right around the corner and the MLB regular season is in our sights. However, in this story, I want to send a strong message to a player who needs a lesson in both humanity and compassion. The player I'm talking about is Clayton Kershaw. To all of you non-baseball fans who aren't familiar with who he is, he's a World Series champion and Cy Young Award winner. Back in 2023, he made disparaging and bigoted remarks regarding the Dodgers were having a promotion inviting The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to Dodger Stadium during Pride Month. Because of this, I can no longer look at Clayton Kershaw the same way again. It's time that I read this man for the filth, because I have a lot of things to say to him. I could call him every name in the book, but it would make the points that I'm about to share absolutely meaningless. I'm not going to apologize for standing up for what I believe in or being honest. If I see someone being disrespectful towards a certain group of people, I'm not afraid to call them out on it. If I'm wrong for speaking up, then so be it. I'm not afraid to expose people for who they are.

Stealth Mode Deactivated. Top Story - January 2025.
I had a joke I was telling for a minute after the election. It's a joke that helped me cover the sense of impending doom being thrust upon us all by the media or well-meaning friends and family. A bit of humor to dissolve the fear and to animate hope.
