Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
Letter From the Democratic Plantation
I argue on the Internet with what I'll lump together and call Republicans. Most of them are indeed registered Republicans although some prefer only to be called Conservative or Libertarian. As far as I know, I'm the only black regular among the group but being the Internet, you can't say for sure.

It's Time to Tell Trump and His Supporters They're Full of Shit
Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden caused a bit of an uproar when he told an auto worker he was "full of shit" during a campaign stop in Detroit on March 10th. While many on the right (and some on the left) thought he should have restrained himself, I -- not being the biggest Biden fan in the country -- felt immense relief that someone was finally saying what needed to be said.

A Storm in a Yorkshire Teacup
This week, one of my all-time favourite brands, Yorkshire Tea, were the innnocent victims of the twitter mob. This arose when the newly-appointed Conservative party chancellor, Rishi Sunak, tweeted a photo of himself making a cup of Yorkshire Tea in celebration of his promotion.

The Ultimate Battle Royale: Biden vs Trump
Now that Mini Super Tuesday is done and it looks like former VP Joe Biden will be the Democrat who will go up against Trump in November for the ultimate prize: The presidency of the United States. This is much to the chagrin of many Bernie Sanders supporters who thought that their guy was a shoe in. Turns out he wasn't.

Connecticut Proves That Science Can Win Legal Battles
A bill that was aimed at banning the keeping of cetaceans in zoological facilities in Connecticut failed to make it onto the state’s Environmental Committee’s Agenda and will likely remain dead for the rest of the year. The bill, dubbed “CT-5341”, would have banned Connecticut-based zoos and aquariums from keeping cetacean species such as beluga whales, dolphins, and orcas for any given purpose in favor of more “ethical” practices.

Jesse Jackson Disses 'Moderate' Joe Biden, Endorses Bernie Sanders
On Sunday, March 8, 2020, the Rev. Jesse Jackson gave a full-throated endorsement of Democratic Party presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT). This defining imprimatur comes just before both Tuesday’s pivotal primary in Michigan and the Illinois primary on March 17. Both states feature significant numbers of African American voters, who may be crucial, if not definitive, in determining both the Democratic Party’s nominee and the direction of the party itself for the foreseeable future.

A True Presidential Landslide Is Impossible to Win
Pundits from both sides are predicting a Trump landslide in 2020 if the Democrats nominate a socialist and communist sympathizer with Bernie Sanders. The Left is so dug in with their hate of President Trump that it won’t matter. Politicians on the Left support his radical ideas but don’t have the guts to say it. That’s why Sanders is so popular and the Left will vote for anyone but Trump.

A Mainstream Media Member Admits Bias On Camera
The mainstream media continue pretending they don’t promote a left-wing agenda. They scoff at the idea they don’t deliver an unbiased perspective. This happens when you live in an echo chamber or surrounded by groupthink. The media have been biased for decades. This is getting exposed and people are going elsewhere for their news.

Globalization versus Nationalism
Globalization can be said to be a brainchild of the phenomenon known as Nation-Sates, a building block of nationalization itself. However, new dimensions are added to the debate between the two notions and hence it has become a this versus that debate with both sides having some viable opinions to back itself.
