Days of infamy, like beauty, are in the eye of the beholder

Days of infamy, like beauty, are in the eye of the beholder
If we learned anything from the Supreme Court’s June 24, 2022 release of their decision to overturn the 49-year precedent of Roe v Wade, it’s that one woman’s day of infamy is another woman’s reason to celebrate. While the 6-3 decision brought out pro-choice defenders in droves, there were still plenty of so-called pro-life juggernauts... Read more »

July 4th: Welcome to 'Merica

July 4th: Welcome to 'Merica
The featured image (above) is my proposal for our new flag because it’s time to ditch that old one. How many people even know how many stars or stripes it has or what any of it even means? I may be one of the few people alive who still remember when they added stars number... Read more »

How dare YOU, Mike Pence?

How dare YOU, Mike Pence?
People on one side of the aisle (Right) are in a state of perpetual outrage. More often than not, they’re accusing people on the other side of the very things of which they are the most guilty.

The Robb Elementary School massacre in Uvalde, Texas is a double win for Republicans
If you found the title of this piece cringeworthy, you’re not alone. It is indeed, cringeworthy, as well as disturbing and true.

Maybe America needs a few public executions instead of meaningless thoughts and prayers

Maybe America needs a few public executions instead of meaningless thoughts and prayers
We’ve heard it too many times. I can’t even stand the mere thought of the words thoughts and prayers. They’re worthless and meaningless and do not help dead children.
