Patrick Lyoya
Make no mistake Patrick Lyoya was victimized twice. The first time was when he was shot like a dog in the streets of his adopted city. Now he’s being victimized a second time by a prosecutor determined to find some way of allowing officer Schurr to escape any justice. There is absolutely no reason to […]
Gasoline Prices Are A Fraud!
Just so you know. In April of 2020 the price of a barrel of crude oil was approximately $19. In April of 2022 the price of a barrel of crude oil went for approximately $115 a barrel. What changed you may want to ask. At $19 dollars a barrel American shale oil producers were out […]
Time For Something Different!
I wonder if people are pay attention to what is happening right around them. It’s open season on black ⚫️ people and all you get is platitudes. I’m amazed at how many people have said that Biden can’t do anything because of the Republicans. First of all racist aren’t limited to just one political party. […]
When is A Right Actually A Right!
There’s an old say “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”.

What It Really Means!
A week after the academy awards debacle there’s a lesson to be learned. A week, just a week is a very long time to be under a microscope. The more exposure a situation receives the more likely there will be consequences. The consequences for the slap seen around the world are happening now. While the […]
Tell Your Story Pt 2!
I learned something very important last night. I learned that there’s a reason for each of us to share our own story. Four years ago I had written a piece about my story. It was about how three men had impacted the trajectory of my life. Two of those men I only knew via what […]
Tell Your Story!!
I wrote this four years ago. Last night a young man read it and responded to it. That young man is Marcus Glivings the son of my former command officer LCDR Rudolph Glivings. Today I was out and I stopped for lunch. I was eating alone when I was approached by a young man who […]
Time Is Running Out!
People just don’t understand. The iron curtain didn’t crumble by itself. The destruction of the Soviet Union came about because the the west with the US in the lead had systematically been working to dismantle it since the end of World War II. The US was an economic juggernaut with access to unlimited natural resources. […]
