legislation
The bills that Congress reject are as informative as the ones it does. Reviews of all the legislation that meet their fate in government halls.
Can Legislation make the roads safer?
I won't get into my opinions about chaos theory or probability factors, because numbers will not help you see the point I want to make in this article. However, if you too are familiar with those schools of thought then you will understand the profundity of the topic I'm going to explore here and now.

Our Presidential Votes Hold No Sway - So Why Are We Fighting?
'Tis 4.5 Months Until The Inauguration Day Take that in. We have 141 days until the new president of the United States will take the oath that will dictate their life for the next 4 years of their life. And the closer we get to that date - the more evil, cruel, mean, and toxic American citizens will become to each other.

Deafening silence: Where is the Hindu rights champion, the BJP government, now?
Deafening silence: Where is the Hindu rights champion, the BJP government, now? After tumultuous recent protests in Dhaka, Sheikh Hasina has finally resigned, but a state of anarchy has ensued. An unruly mob is attacking members and allies of the former government, and unexpectedly, some Hindus in Bangladesh have also come in the line of fire as soft targets. In this precarious situation, it is essential to calm the mob and establish a humanitarian corridor for the persecuted individuals to ensure their safe exit and that goal can never be achieved without the aid of neighboring countries.

Female Democrat or Male Republican?
I wasn't going to touch on politics for awhile, but with only two more months until election day it seems like I can't avoid it. I had been inspired briefly by the Republicans and Trump while I considered reestablishing my voting privilege (an option I have) so that I could responsibly take part in the democratic process. The me I was a decade ago would have no doubts about doing that and would think it my honor and my duty to vote. The me today is trying not to laugh at how both candidates are the most ridiculous I've ever seen.

The M.O.R.E Act
The M.O.R.E Act In December 2020, the House of Representatives passed two federal bills that support our favorite girl: Mary Jane. The bill we will be talking about in this post is the M.O.R.E Act - which is the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, and the other bill is the Medical Marijuana Research Act (MMJ Research Act).

The Orange Jesus and The Apocalyptic Legislative Loonies
Soooo…. The Champion of the entire right wing has spent all the money the National Republican Committee had on hand. I’m too financially challenged to gauge what that means exactly, but if the NRC is paying for Their Champion’s legal bills, they have some collecting to do or Christmas 2024 is not looking cheery. The Champ has 91 felony indictments against him.

Demands vs Agreement
I think folks sometimes forget the difference between agreements and demands. In recent weeks we have seen politicians indulging in demands. It’s full out “my way or the highway.” Take that guy who lives in Florida but is the senator for Alabama. What’s his name? The washed out football coach. Toomy Tumbleville, yeah something like that. This poor guy really wants to make his mom proud. The problem is there’s nothing to crow about. Toomy has “religious” reasons for not promoting US military personnel. Since there are some 300+ military officers whose lives he has made more difficult, Toomy is making a demand. There is no space for agreement in his stance.

The M.O. of the GOP
Did you know that immigration is the reason the United States has the lowest inflation rate in the western world? No Jive. This is according to the Congressional Budget Office. Not only that, immigrants are predicted to add 7 trillion dollars to the GDP during the time span of 2023 to 2034¹. That’s from Congress’s own Budget office. I’m not sure, but I kind of think that’s a lot of money. Now what?

Dear Future President
It's time for another political article because as I surf through Twitter and Youtube I'm seeing post after post about Trump and Kamala. Oy ve and a half. Look what America has been reduced to: Trump, the felon who causes insurrections or Kamala, the brain dead druggie who can't complete an actual real sentence. We are so doomed. Still, if I could vote, I'd give my vote to the felon. At least I can understand him when he speaks.
