It’s All About Race!
At the root of this American discontent there is one over arching issue. It is an issue that we created and and issue that haunts everything that we do. In our pursuit of a capitalist society we orchestrated the social construct of race. I’ll say it if no one else has the courage to say […]
THINK!
If you read my commentaries you know that I end them all the same way. I entreat you to “Think” and to see things with “Eyes Wide 👀 Open”. People are being bombarded with false information regarding the proposed infrastructure bill. Their being told that their retirement will be negatively impacted. Their being told that […]
Humanism v. Capitalism!
Let’s begin with some basic truths. The Trump trillion dollar tax cut was a boondoggle for the super rich and big business. It wasn’t a one time occurrence, that trillion dollar tax cut goes on year over year. So far the price tag for the Trump tax cut is approximately 3 trillion dollars plus or […]
Deal With The Roach!!
I lived in New York city for a few years. I can remember standing in Grand Central Station one morning when I saw the biggest roach I had ever encountered scurrying across the floor. Just at that moment a train pulled in and hundreds of people poured off the train. The roach stopped dead in […]
Three Card Monty!
Well do you still think that the people in Washington DC work for you? They don’t, they work for the PAC’s and people who pour money into their campaigns. When you allow campaign finance to be dominated and dictated by big donors Democracy dies a slow 🐌 and painful death. Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema […]
Bury The Carcass!
The federal government is nothing but a carcass and its time to bury it. On January 20th I had really hoped that we had pulled back from the brink. Alas it appears that my hope was all in vain. We pay 535 people a salary of at least $174,000 a year to do the will […]
Fire 🔥 Them Now!!
Only in politics can you refuse to do your job and expect to keep your job. Make no mistake the refusal of the Republicans to participate in raising the debt ceiling is dangerously irresponsible. Assuming that they fail to raise the debt ceiling in a timely manner the ramifications will be both domestic and international. […]
The Clock Is Ticking!!
If you know me you know that I don’t identify as a Democrat or a Republican. I refer to myself as a Humanist. In a nutshell I am concerned with the welfare of all of mankind. It’s too bad that we have allowed party affiliations consume our lives. This morning I listened to the 6th […]
A Prize Fight!!
In 1971 Ali and Frazier met for their first heavyweight contest. It was Ali’s first return to the ring after having been stripped of his heavy weight title in 1967 for refusing induction into the Army. I woke up this morning thinking about the 1971 fight between Ali and Frazier as a metaphor for the […]
Stop The Lie!!
You would think that everyone in this country would recognize that we are lagging behind the rest of the developed nations on infrastructure. You would think that they would understand that you can’t compete in a global environment with outdated crumbling infrastructure. You would think that common sense would prevail and that Washington would move […]
