It seems every time one racially-charged incident ends, a gender or religious controversy takes its place; Ruminate on the issues dividing our nation and world.

Fascism is a cancer
The most hideous, poisonous products of the modern politics in recent years is the blotting out of the truth. Some call it censorship, others call it propaganda— no matter the name, the fruits of it are bitter and deadly to a democracy.

SEPARATION OF RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT:
What does it mean to separate religion and government? The separation of church and state is a growing issue in the United States today. There are as many interpretations of this separation as there are religions and belief systems in the country. Everyone has their own ideas on how it should be put in place and what the main religion of the country should be if any religion at all. Some speak of a total secular society, with no spirituality included in anything; others speak of a Christian dominated society, with no room for other faiths, believing other faiths are spiritually dangerous to their society. Both extremes can take a dangerous path, if put into law.

I’ve Never Been Raided By the FBI, But Donald Trump Has
You know what’s funny about dishonest, shitty human beings? They tend to have brushes with the law. Numerous ones dating back some 50 years. They have had many court cases and legal decisions that have been leveled against them. They’re almost always in the news for not-so-good reasons. One of my least favorite human beings (if you can call him that) of them all had his home in Mar-a-Lago raided today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

What Happens Now?
We are now all very much aware of the Supreme Court creating articles to overturn Roe v. Wade and like Justice Roberts I believe the person who leaked this information should be held accountable, because as a government employee/official et.al you are responsible for protecting our Democracy not trying to destabilize it even if it something we need to know; in other words, you cannot play both sides of the fence.

The situation on the battlefield will change dramatically as The Russian army increases its efforts to launch a war of annihilation
In fact, the Russian military operation in eastern Ukraine has come to an end some time ago. Only a small part is still controlled by the Ukrainian army, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation in eastern Ukraine. But after taking donetsk and Luhansk overall, the pace of the Russian offensive seems to have slowed. Why?

The Republican's Plans to Steal Elections
As a passionate proponent of democracy, I have to use the small platform that I possess to sound the alarm bells. As we all know, the GOP didn’t handle its election losses very well in 2020.

Yelling Fire in a Vaccination Clinic
» KEY POINTS Even though every major religion supported getting the COVID-19 vaccine, a noticeable number of people attempted to use religious excuses to opt-out of vaccine mandates. All rights and responsibilities in the Constitution and the laws that support it have limits for the betterment and safety of society as a whole. The religious protections of the First Amendment to the Constitution are not a panacea that gives people the ability to do anything they want.

Why even have Jan 6th Comittee Investigations? What Good is it?
The ULTIMATE question, and a question of itself... WHY? The most basic question in all of this mumbo jumbo is, why? Why have an investigation into possible wrong-doing by elected officials, if nothing is going to be done about it? Why ask why? Why even care?

Dear White People*
I’m listening to an audiobook right now. I don’t think anyone in my family has ever read it. I’m not sure how many of them would even pick it up. Why?
