Healthcare
Over the past several months I have seen three different Go Fund Me pages started for people I know who have a loved ones battling cancer. Everyone of these families has health insurance and yet they still struggle with keeping their houses and way of life together as our US Continue Reading
Democrats are also a mess!
I have watched Democrats snatch defeat from the clutches of victory so many times, I almost expect it. This political party seems to have two problems, messaging and completing the deal, you know, governing when you win and have the majority. By all accounts from the last few years, this Continue Reading
The Republican Party is a mess!
I remember the day I became an independent voter, Aug 17, 2000, that night Al Gore won the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States. I remember thinking to myself, Al Gore and George W. Bush, this is the two best candidates our country can conjure up to Continue Reading

Religion and Politics
I will start this post with complete transparency. I am not religious, I don’t believe in God, prayer, the bible, or any of the nonsense that comes with it. I spent twelve years in Catholic school and honestly believe that everything I was indoctrinated in was for the lack of Continue Reading
Our Founding Fathers
I wanted to follow up yesterday’s article with this one on our Founding Fathers. Our Founding Fathers are often portrayed as a bunch of rich white guys who suppressed women and benefitted, either directly or indirectly, from the slave trade. Probably, all true These men were not saints or gods, Continue Reading
