The Red Summer - Charleston
The Red Summer -- Charleston The history of the United States has to be understood to begin to understand the racial problems experienced by Blacks in this country. Lynchings of Blacks and the governmental response to those lynchings play a huge role in the development of the United States. The response to those lynchings play an even larger role because it sets the stage to how law enforcement responds to crimes against Blacks by Whites, both civilian and law enforcement. Before we can understand why law enforcement polices the way they do, we have to understand how the United States has dealt with crimes against Blacks.

WH Steals CDC Data
Late in the evening Tuesday, July 14th, healthcare administration was surprised to find out that the hospital data on coronavirus patients will now be sent directly to the Trump administration instead of being first sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by Wednesday, July 15th. This is an appalling move that leaves many questioning the motives behind such a move. Why did the Trump administration decide to cut ties with the World Health Organization, now the CDC, and continuously attempt to discredit everything Dr. Fauci has said about the pandemic?

'Covid' Ops: Masked by a swastika in disguise!
If the “industrial-military complex” currently taking over the way we live, in the name of a bogus Covid19 worldwide pandemic, wanted to draw a line in society between those who blindly accept what they are being told and those who see the draconian measures being introduced as a threat to freedom, how would they go about it?

Dear Mr. Frumpy Pants
Dear Mr. Frump, I watched your response to the pandemic very closely. I watched you ignore the warnings that you were given, lied to the American people, tweeted incessantly about things that don't matter, exiled all of the experts in medicine (i.e., Dr. Fauci, the WHO, and the CDC), and fail to provide answers to the people at a time we need leadership the most.

17th July, 1918 - The Execution of the Russian Monarchy
There's something almost spooky about looking back and seeing a country call for the murders of not only its king and queen, but also their children - including the youngest boy who already suffered greatly through life. I personally have no opinion on this since I don't feel like I have read enough on the Russian Revolution to give an informed statement, but there is no doubt that this war will always make entertaining and shocking viewing material.

New American Reconstruction
America is witnessing her system crumbling before her eyes from the American Senate to Hollywood. I am a citizen of this country, a natural born citizen yet thanks to this country's uncomfortable history with my people I am denied the right to be free to be myself. I am proposing we consider a change for this country. A new reconstruction era that will not only steer us as far away from this current crossroad we find ourselves in today but to take us to a peace unrivaled by any other peace we've ever had in this country before.
