It Has Begun
...Of the end. What's a man to do? It is almost inconceivable for a military campaign to be successful without peace of mind. Also, it is infeasible for a fighting force to have peace of mind without a relatively firm confidence that the home front is secure and being carefully watched over.

America the Greatest: How this nation is the most virtuous country in human history
Take a walk down any street in America. See the weeds growing up from abandoned factories. The twisting green shoots that speckle the landscape of the country. Focus on the noose hanging from the tree. Look at the rats and roaches in the apartments. Notice the homeless people in tents and the camps at the border. Peer at the mass shootings and the drug deals gone bad. Smell the meth labs emitting noxious fumes. Hear the opioid capsules spill and bottles sprawled out on the floor next to a lifeless body. Taste the smoke from the car wreck from an alcoholic that claims the lives of everyone but the drunkard. Peep the cyber hackers preparing to unsettle the fabric of the Internet. Feast your mind’s eye on the politicians who sneer and snicker and bicker at each other.

Populism should not exploit Coronavirus crisis
In the financial crisis of 2008–09, stock markets, international trade and economic growth fell by more significant margins than in the similar period of the 1929–33 Great Depression. As in the 1930s, politicians placed aside differences, coordinating national policies to save the global economy.

Is Biden a Stand-In for His Vice- Presidential Nominee?
The Biden campaign experienced one of the greatest political comebacks in history. He lost the first three states in the Democratic primary contest and then won South Carolina and continued his momentum through Super Tuesday. Every Democrat except Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard dropped out and threw their support to Biden before the Super Tuesday vote. The timing couldn’t have been worse for Sanders and better for Biden.

We Need To Talk About Communism
I’ve been a politically-minded person for as long as I can remember. It’s always been something that fascinated me. I remember being very young, watching broadcast news discussing some politician. They used the word “communist” and I wasn’t sure what it meant, or even what the context was at the time. What I did know was that it didn’t sound pleasant.

You're an Idiot
Have you ever been told this? Have you ever told someone this? Odds are both are true, but what was the reasoning behind it. What was said, or done to elicit such a response. It probably had to do with being an ass. Ass in the respect that you or they made an assumption. Making assumptions is a very easy thing to do. We do it on a regular basis. You have to remember the old saying though. To assume is to make an ass out of you and me.

Ideology Is More Important Than Intersectionality
The Left is obsessed with intersectionality and identity politics. Merriam- Webster defines intersectionality as, “the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups.” It sounds innocent enough, but this idea is a significant reason why America is divided.
