Four Promises/Four Pillars

Eyes Wide Opened
Lots of talk about Project 2025. Where did it come from? Who leads it? Why now? This article is a beginning, a look into the platform, the people building it, and the verbiage they are using. It is not an impartial telling, because I am not, in fact, in favor of it. But I'm determined to share their words and ideas so you can make up your own mind. A deeper dive into the platform will follow, and be linked to this article once available.

I think I may have to vote
I wasn't upset when they told me that I couldn't vote anymore. I didn't want to go through the red tape to reinstate my voting privilege. I figured there's no way to ever vote for the right person, and I don't trust the voting system anyway. I've had my opinions about my country, the structure, principles, constitution, legislation, and history. I've been watching things change since the Reagan administration. I could recap all the follies of every Presidency I've endured since 1971. But I won't waste your time with my skewed historical summary. Instead, I will just say that of the three "taboos" (sex, religion, and politics) Americans seem quite satisfied taking on religion and politics, but they are still the most hush hush and hypocritical when it comes to sex.

Everyone Should Vote Democrat in November
I’m not a Democrat, or at least not a natural one. I consider myself a small-government liberal. We’re so used to hearing “small-government conservative” that hearing something different might ring like an oxymoron to some people, but to my mind, liberalism — which is fundamentally about individual freedoms — organically aligns with a small-government approach. If we could ever have a viable libertarian party, I would probably only ever vote for them, but as it stands, I identify as independent and have voted for Democrats most of my adult life.

47 and Fifth. First Place in The Moment That Changed Everything Challenge. Top Story - June 2024. Content Warning.
Sun-spun choppers bungee over Fifth Avenue. The vultures are gathering for a primetime carcass. The rungs are hot as I climb the ladder on the side of news van. I plant my feet on its roof and shoulder my Sony PXW. I struggle to find focus amidst the clouds of smoke and flares.
