President's Speech at College Graduation Goes Far off the Rails
May 28th (Castleton, VT) – When the undergraduate student union at Castleton University voted to have the President of the United States be their commencement speaker, no one seriously expected the invitation to be accepted and the leader of the free world to appear before them at their little-known small liberal arts college in the middle of the woods of Vermont.

The Secret Wars the President Does Not Want You to Know About
May 14th (Detroit, MI) – Is the President of the United States a person of peace, or a purveyor of war? As details leak out from behind the scenes of the White House, the question is becoming more and more difficult to answer.

President Decrees America is the Most Communist National on Earth
April 11th (Alabaster, AL) – This past Friday, the President of the United States sat down with the largest socialist periodical in America—one that we will refrain from naming in these prestigious pages in order not to lend them any credence and legitimacy. As established during the third day of this administration, the President brought an end to the routine of daily press briefings and regular access to the White House and replaced them with a free-for-all end-of-week one-on-one bonanza. While the leader of the free world was more than happy to spend time with socialists, I would be remiss if I did not point out that the President has still not sat down with yours truly.

The Carrion Crows Of These Times
Introduction My posts are usually just positive and not too whiney and complaining, but this is just about some things in modern life where things that ride on the back of other things have become nothing more than pernicious vultures, carrion crows or leeches, draining resources from the very things that they feed off, without seeing the final endgame that once their golden goose is dead then they will not be far behind.

For Women's History Month, President Blasts the Rest of the World
March 11th (Santa Rosa, CA) – March is Women’s History Month, which started right here in Santa Rosa as just a single week in 1978. By 1980, the week became recognized at the federal level before expanding to the whole month in 1987. It was a great surprise and honor, then, that the recently installed President of the United States requested to give a speech before the Commission on the Status of Women—which founded and administered the original celebratory week—to commemorate this year’s observances.

The Emergence of a Multipolar World
In the dynamic landscape of global politics, the 21st century has witnessed a transformative shift towards a multipolar world. Traditionally, the world order was dominated by a bipolar structure, with the United States and the Soviet Union as the primary superpowers during the Cold War. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s marked the end of a bipolar system, giving rise to a unipolar world led by the United States. This unipolar moment was characterized by American hegemony, where the U.S. held unprecedented influence over global affairs.

Two Birds, One Stone
Before I begin this article, I must emphasize a few things. One, this is not a defense, nor condemnation of the actions these sailors have taken. Two, I in no way have any knowledge of their cases beyond what is publicly available. Three, this article is not intended to be your sole source of information on this case. It is but a start for more critical thinking about these cases, and others like it.

The Lizzo Controversy: Let Me Explain. Content Warning.
It truly is a time for controversies and celebrities to shine within this last month, isn't it? From Colleen Ballinger (whom I was writing about during this time) Doja Cat, and now, Lizzo. It seems like people are getting in trouble left and right. I basically just woke up one day, checked the news, and found the internet in a tizzy! Why? Because some people who worked with Lizzo in the not so far past, came forward with some intriguing and shocking information about the working environment Lizzo put them in. To put it briefly, about 3 of the dancers who were one Lizzo's show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, came forward and explained that Lizzo created a hostile work environment for the dancers, which included things like body shaming, sexual harassment, among other things, which I will discuss in full detail later.

2023 UAP & UFO Congressional Oversight Hearing - What You Need to Know
Unpacking the recent Congressional hearing concerning Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP / formerly UFOs) is challenging. Our media has made a habit out of telling us what to think for the past twenty or so years, thus many of us are out-of-practice at listening and critical thinking when we are presented with so much raw information.

Political Discussion?
Five or ten years ago I didn't mind talking about government or politics with other people. I used to write articles about how as an American it was our duty to vote. I would send my vote through the mail when I knew enough to do so. Then I became a Felon in 2018 and although I can go through the red-tape process of re-instating my voting privilege, I haven't done so since I was released from jail five years ago. My opinion on voting changed. I'm just not sure that I trust the voting system. It's not because Biden and Trump say whatever they say. It's because logically thinking, I see too many ways for the current voting system to make mistakes. That's not democracy then. That's just a flawed veil to make it seem like the people's opinions matter, when in reality, there is no way to know for certain what the masses really want.
