Despite the 91 criminal counts in four separate indictments against the “former guy,” a recent Wall Street Journal poll shows a tight 2024 race between that “former guy” and President Joe Biden: In fact, the poll showed Trump just one point ahead of the President. Adding insult to injury for the incumbent prez, Real Clear Politics polling averages show the President a mere 0.4% point margin over Trump,…

Do the Right Thing
The time is always right to do what is right. Martin Luther King Jr. In response to the federal demise of Roe v. Wade, Democrats are stressing the utmost importance of voting in the midterms. In a recent speech, President Joe Biden stated, “This fall, Roe is on the ballot. Personal freedoms are on the ballot.” Speaker of the…
Self-Serve “Freedom Speak”
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. Philippians 2:3-4 This week there was a post on a local social media site that called on the residents of my community to…
Where is the Accountability?
A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody Thomas Paine Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) released the DOJ documents this week to the Washington Post that outline the extent to which the former guy, Donald Trump, was willing to go to steal the 2020 election. For weeks, President Donald Trump…
All the kings horses and all the kings men….
We’re all familiar with the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme, and I can’t help but think that it describes the current state of POTUS Trump, with only 18 days to go in his presidency. Like the king in the story, Trump’s supporters are trying like mad to cover up the cracks, to continue the false narrative…
Is it too late?
As I write this, we have 24 days until Joe Biden’s inauguration. It can’t come soon enough, but does that mean that democracy in the US will be in the clear? Is it too late for us? A group of Republicans still plans to challenge Biden’s Electoral College Victory on January 6, and we are…

Earlier this week, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit over New Mexico’s use of voter drop boxes, which were installed to limit crowding and to allow for social distancing amidst the pandemic.

And with such a people you can then do what you please.” – Hannah Arendt Hannah Arendt, noted philosopher and political theorist,…
Democracy is on the line
“When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right” – Victor Hugo Two more days until the general election, two more days in which the future of our nation will be decided. As I write this, 92 million Americans have already cast their ballots, nearly twice the number in 2016, and it’s not even election day yet. Some states…
When they go low, we go vote!
This week has been quite the week. From Trump’s refusal to denounce white supremacism, and his incessant bullying and obnoxious interrupting of Biden during the debate Tuesday night, to the release of his tax returns, to Kimberly Guilfoyle’s sexual assault allegations while she worked for Fox, to the GOP pushing for a quick nomination of…
