Was Nakita Right?
The Russian economy is less than 2 trillion dollars annually. Conversely the US economy is slightly less than 25 trillion annually. That’s a huge difference. Right now the Russians have plus or minus 100,000 troops posed on the border of the Ukraine πΊπ¦. How is it possible that Vladimir Putin would feel comfortable opposing the […]
The Plot Against America!
Today was the one year anniversary of the plot against America. I decided to watch a limited series from HBO from a couple of years ago based on a book written by Phillip Roth. The limited series was aptly titled the Plot Against America. The story takes place in a fictional 30’s and 40’s America. […]
We’re 5 Minutes From Midnight!!
When a Republic fails it rarely happens over night. Most often is is a slow disintegration brought on by the creeping tentacles of corruption. When the founders created the foundation for the United States they knew that it was not perfect and that there were flaws. Thomas Jefferson himself recognized that it would be important […]
I Adhere To My Oath!!
I write commentary almost daily. I end all of my commentaries with the same words. THINK and Eyes Wide π Open. I do that because even if you disagree with what I’m saying I want you to Think. Yesterday I wrote a commentary that many interpreted as being critical of President Biden and the Democratic […]
I’m Tired!!
Today I watched 137 Shots on Netflix. It is the story of the senseless deaths of Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams in 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio. Timothy an Malissa were chased by over 60 Cleveland patrol cars for 20 minutes. When their car came to a stop at least 137 bullets were fired into the […]
I Am!!
I am a sheepdog. I was born with one purpose, to protect and guard the sheep. Everyday of my life is dedicated to the task of keeping the wolves at bay. It is a hard and thankless job but it is my job. The flock gets bigger everyday and the wolves grow hungrier. We could […]
American History: How We Got Here!
I had nothing but time on my hands today. So I had a lot of time to think. I had an epiphany, the crazy fever gripping our country didn’t just start. It didn’t start with Richard Milhouse Nixon, Ronald Reagan, or Donald John Trump. It’s been building for a very long time. A close inspection […]
An Independent Judiciary Is A Lie!
Today’s Supreme Court session was interesting and enlightening. What happened in the questioning was not judicial, it was political. We saw long established norms come under a full frontal assault. If Mississippi prevails the long established principles of Stare Decisis are dead on arrival. Joe Biden needs to understand that we are not functioning in […]
No Voice Greater Than Your Own!!
Malcolm X was a complex man. His was a story of constant evolution. The path of that evolution was not always smooth. Malcolm was raised for a period of time in Lansing Michigan. He went to Lansing public schools. He was often the only black child in his class. Malcolm aspired to be a lawyer […]
Arbery Wasn’t a Win, It Was Justice!
I was told I don’t know how to take a win in reference to the verdict in the Arbery case. I admit that by nature I’m a skeptic. I don’t think that one jury verdict is an indication that America is changing and moving past the devaluing of black life. On the contrary I think […]
