A Conservative By Any Other Name…Ain’t a Conservative

August 14, 2017 General Commentary

Conservatism is under attack. That sounds really dramatic but it's true because I AM a Conservative, and as a Conservative I have been watching far too many pundits and politicians bastardize the very principles I try to live by for their own agendas (especially since 2015). Somehow these 'new Conservatives' think you can warp a set of ideals to fit

Trump is a Bigger Threat Than North Korea

August 11, 2017 General Commentary, international

"They will be met with fire, fury and frankly the power the likes of which the world has never seen." That was President Trump's response to learning that North Korea has successfully miniaturized nuclear warheads that can fit into missiles, a move making the isolationist country the latest, and certainly one of the scariest, additions to the handful of nations

Tired of politics? You may want to check your privilege

August 11, 2017 Elections, General Commentary, Immigration

Let's go back to November 9th, 2016. Liberal or conservative, I think we can all agree that it was a pretty crazy day and most of us were feeling very passionate. Some were ecstatic, some were devastated but there was also an overwhelming amount of people that either "didn't care" or expressed how they wished everyone would stop posting about

Where has Kindness and Compassion Gone?

August 10, 2017 General Commentary, international

I originally wrote this right after the attack at the Manchester arena in May. I remember sitting there trying to wrap my mind around it and I couldn't. I really can't understand how a person can do something like that. How can a person feel so little regard for someone else's life? How can someone take another person's life so

Liberal Military Spouse in America 2017 #WeAllFearDifferentThings

August 9, 2017 Civil Rights, Elections, General Commentary

I firmly believe my use of "fuck" in my everyday life and on the internet pretty much ends all chances of my ideas and opinions being spread across the country, but they are my opinions none the less and any chance I get I will speak up! I am disheartened by the results of the 2016 election. I sat in my

How to survive the Trump Presidency without going insane

August 9, 2017 General Commentary

I sat in front of my TV with a dazed look on my face. It was a rough day of hearing the latest Trump news. I felt drained. I had been posting about Trump on social media for months prior to the election. Since the election, I had continued writing. I wrote with passion, outrage and sadness.....and it finally got

Enough is Enough

August 9, 2017 General Commentary

First off I want to be perfectly clear that this article is not geared towards bashing any one person or persons, any one political party or one's opinions or personal views. I have done my share of bashing people's political beliefs and have been on the receiving end as well. That's not what this article is about. Everyone is entitled

Disgust and Politics

August 8, 2017 General Commentary

So I don’t particularly believe or disbelieve the latest scandalous Trump story about his ties to Russia and the existence of sex tapes with prostitutes. I’m waiting on more evidence. But I find it morbidly amusing that people seem to think some of the weirder details of the report are so important, like him supposedly paying prostitutes to pee on

It Is Shameful The Way Seth Rich’s Murder Has Been Exploited As a Tool For Political Manipulation

August 8, 2017 Elections, General Commentary, Gun Violence

Joel and Mary Rich are among thousands of parents whose lives were upended when their children became victims of the gun death epidemic that has plagued this country for years, an epidemic that kills as many American every 90 days as have been killed by acts of terrorism in the last half-century. Like other families have had to do before

Why Teachers Are Real Life Superheroes

August 7, 2017 General Commentary

Like millions of others worldwide, I am eagerly anticipating the new Justice League film, which will unquestionably be one of this year’s biggest blockbusters. Over the last decade, superhero movies have dominated the box office, so I began thinking, “Why are superhero films so popular?” Consider, in the past 12 years, superhero films (which include franchises such as Spider-Man, Batman,

Observation Post

August 3, 2017 General Commentary, international

Being a Canadian is an odd thing. Well I suppose that's not really right, its simply my country, my citizenship, my National identity as one would say but if one were to declare "I'm a Canadian" in a packed bar room or a lonely bus depot or the line at Costco ( yes, we have them) or practically anywhere at

Glossary of Words You May Find In Any Story About This Administration And Russia

August 3, 2017 Elections, General Commentary, Russia

Adviser: “A person who provides advice and experience. In the case of the Trump campaign, everyone from Jeff Sessions to Jared Kushner served as some type of adviser. And, as of March 3, at least five Trump advisers reportedly had contact with Russian officials.” Aiding and abetting: Aiding and abetting generally means to somehow assist in the commission of a

Is Donald Trump Doing God’s Work?

July 31, 2017 General Commentary

WATCH THE VIDEO CLICK HERE Oh, dear Lord. I had been preparing to write a piece on Trump’s religious followers and then he tweets this gem. First off, if you believe that President Trump doesn’t want you to worship him, then you haven’t been paying attention. But that’s not the point of this tweet and the accompanying, nauseating video. Trump
