Democracy lives
Our Country has become a people of spoiled, entitled and frankly a nation of ungrateful whiny Adults. Children knows right from wrong, bad from good, black and white, but as of today, us Adults choose to vote against the interests of themselves and others. Why are we so afraid of Healthcare for all? Why are we afraid of "Black lives matter"? Why are us Christians hateful towards follower's of Muhammad?

Who was Vlad Țepeș?
Vlad Țepeș- Did you know that in modern day Romanian Dracul means “The Devil?” Vlad Țepeș had many nicknames some being “Dracula, and Vlad Dracula.” There are many others and I may refer to Vlad as those other nicknames throughout the story. Vlad was Viovode of Wallachia three times from the year 1448 until his death. Vlad is often referenced as a very important leader of Wallachian history. He is also referenced as a national hero of Romania. Vlad Țepeș became the ruler of Wallachia in the year 1436. Vlad Dracul was the father of Dracula and his younger brother Radu.

Democracy Held Hostage
Written by TJ Hyland - December 11, 2020 An email hit my inbox this morning titled, “bad news (re. Electoral College),” but when I opened it up, it read more like a threat, telling me I had better take action now! It’s from the DNC. I always read these to see what tactics they’re using on the sheeple these days. This one is about abolishing the electoral college, and it reads, “This is a hard email to write. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and John Oliver. Everyone warned you… But we’re about to miss our major $15,000 fundraising deadline for the Abolish the Electoral College Fund. And sadly, we just checked… Progressive donations are PLUMMETING!!! If we CAN’T raise the remaining $9,391 for our Abolish the Electoral College Fund, then we will HAND Republicans a HUGE victory. REMEMBER: Republicans NEED the Electoral College to win…”

I Miss It!!
My Friends, It may or may not be hard for you to believe, but we are now a year into COVID-19. It was first discovered last December in Wuhan China. Since then nearly 300 thousand people have lost their lives with close to 20 million lives directly impacted; just inside the proverbial walls of these states united. Then we have the remaining 320 million.

The motor city The renaissance city Home of the Detroit Pistons arguably one of the best rappers to ever live Marshall Mathers. Yes, all these great things in this city where ford brought on 90,000 workers at one point now are known for major oppressions high crime rates.

The right type of resources to help them go and lead where they wanna be.

Bryanwatch: Dec Week 2
A fairly light week, with only eight votes in the House, and almost all of the passing on a nonpartisan basis. There was actually only one party line vote, and that was on the Driftnet Modernization and Bycatch Reduction Act (S 906, RC 242, Dec 10). The bill regulates the size of drift nets in hopes of protecting marine wildlife. Republicans voted against protecting our ocean friends 56 to 105, with Steil voting NO.

The Root of Most Problems
Before I get into the article, I want to address some key issues. I know that just by putting the phrase "Universal Income" in the subtitle, most people are either coming in ready to support or are coming in ready to tear me to shreds. Most people already have their minds set on whether this idea is good or bad. As a preface, I am not advocating for a fully socialist system. I am also not saying we should fully abolish the class system. The other thing I will not be addressing is how to fund a universal basic income. The scope of this article is addressing the usefulness of a universal income from an ethical standpoint and an economic standpoint, as well as addressing the most common argument against a universal income.
