Everyone Should Vote Democrat in November
I’m not a Democrat, or at least not a natural one. I consider myself a small-government liberal. We’re so used to hearing “small-government conservative” that hearing something different might ring like an oxymoron to some people, but to my mind, liberalism — which is fundamentally about individual freedoms — organically aligns with a small-government approach. If we could ever have a viable libertarian party, I would probably only ever vote for them, but as it stands, I identify as independent and have voted for Democrats most of my adult life.

The Legal System is Wrong
In April, I was depressed. Not only did I turn 53 years old after a divorce from a 12 year marriage, I was broke, overweight, jobless, on a poor disability check, and lonely as hell. I was desperate for attention. I wasn't on any medication and whether I was hearing the voices (that often talk with me especially when no one else is around) or I wasn't hearing them, I was so depressed I was crying more often than is normal for me. I felt trapped and like the whole world had abandoned me. I reached out to the suicide hotline (988) and when I said some ridiculous overdramatic nonsense, they called the police. The police then baker-acted me and I was hospitalized for two weeks. Do you think that cured my depression? No. It made things even worse.

47 and Fifth. First Place in The Moment That Changed Everything Challenge. Top Story - June 2024. Content Warning.
Sun-spun choppers bungee over Fifth Avenue. The vultures are gathering for a primetime carcass. The rungs are hot as I climb the ladder on the side of news van. I plant my feet on its roof and shoulder my Sony PXW. I struggle to find focus amidst the clouds of smoke and flares.

The Gift that keeps on giving.
I’m usually not the one to share political views with the community, let alone with the world. But after recently reading an article with very little relevancy, I thought to myself… Why not? I believe the majority of readers will enjoy participating in this thoughtful process.

The Story of the "Felon" and the "Crook"
When it comes to the realm of political fundraising, issues can sometimes bring about as many opportunity as they do obstacles. Imagine for a moment that two political figures are each branded with shameful titles by their opponents.

History of the world's biggest corruption
Defining the "world's biggest corruption" is complex. Corruption can be measured in stolen money, societal impact, or the number of people affected. However, a strong contender for this dubious title is the colossal scheme perpetrated by the Soviet Union during the Cold War, known as the "Petromania" scandal.

Tuesday, 22 May 2024 By: TB Obwoge If you travel internationally often, you would probably get the sense that people think Americans are lunatics! We have a horrible world name, we have more than enough sterotypical rhetoric floating about, however is it really just sterotypes?
