I always like to see the knee jerk reactions to current events, especially on Facebook. There was an attempted assassination of former President Trump over the weekend, and it didn’t take more than an hour for the Trumpers to show up online to express their disdain.

Foreign Aid
There are many political topics that can get folks riled up in our present times but there is one that seems to pop up on almost every week on social media, US Foreign Aid. I listen to people all the time, folks who are generally, intelligent individuals but just get Continue Reading
Immigration
I was watching the news the other day and came across a news media talking head and a Republican congressman going round and round on the topic of immigration most specifically at our southern border.
