A Political Hypothesis about Why Dexter Original Sin Was Unrenewed
I've been a devoted fan of Dexter since it debuted on Showtime in 2006. My very first review of a TV show in my Infinite Regress blog in December 2006 was a rave review of the first season of Dexter 20 years ago on Showtime. The review is entitled First Place to Dexter.

The Hand-Off
From courtroom to Christ consciousness – how the rise of Magdalene exposes the machinery of coercion. Believing that courts, lawyers, and law enforcement are simply uneducated, unaware, or even willfully ignorant about coercive control and the nuances of domestic violence may be naive.

Did JD Vance Cross a Line With Erika Kirk? by NWO Sparrow
Why "The Hug" between JD Vance and Erika Kirk became the center of a national conversation Boy , I remember when political events used to feel predictable. Speeches were stiff, gestures were rehearsed, and personal moments stayed private. But modern politics has become way different, let me tell ya. It’s more visual and more vulnerable. I was reminded of that the moment I saw photographs from a Turning Point USA tour stop at The University of Mississippi this week. The political message wasn’t what caught my eye. It was a hug.

What do I know?
I blasted rock music in my airpods as I made myself breakfast; Nickelback singing about my pants around my feet while the eggs cooked. Was it necessary to listen to Chad Kroeger at top volume? Yes, yes, it was. I needed to drown out the dribble coming from the pastor on the tv.

There has always been trouble between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria. Attacks have regularly occurred between the two communities. However, of late, the number of Christians dying, according to some sources, is becoming disproportionate. Donald Trump has raised the issue of what is happening to Christians in the African country.

“My Heart Stayed Calm Through Horror”. Content Warning.
How about a comparison of horror movies to the horror going on in America, lighthearted, I watched a horror movie last night, to my surprise my heart was not racing. I turned on the news about the ice terrorism and the horrors of Whitehouse being gutted so I turned the news off, turned on a horror movie again. I watched five horror films; my heart was pure at 82 beats a minute. I turned on the news again about tear gas sprayed on Halloween party together in a park, with children and knocking down old people, I said fuck it watched another horror film. what a relief to watch The Conjuring again and not the horrifying evil penetrating from the nazis in DC.

Is the Government Shutdown Real?
Remember when Trump kept saying "Fake News" and everybody called him the Anti-Christ for saying that? They mocked him, hated him, and called him all kinds of bad things because he was pointing out the FACT that many people were unaware about how much nonsense they accept as truth just because it came from the television or the "News" reporters. Do we still feel that way or have more people begun to realize that we have no idea what is true or false anymore? I have to admit that for the portion of my life that I call the "young years" it was really nice believing that I knew everything or at least that I knew enough to discern between fact and fiction. These days, I have no idea. Unless it actually occurred to me or to my witness, I have no idea who is truthing or fibbing. Like this "Government Shutdown" thing ---- What the heck are they talking about?
