Imagine the total media firestorm George W. Bush would have been – or Donald Trump would be in today – if they requested their staff put together an exclusive list of white Christians for top Executive Branch positions.
As a follow up to my You’re getting your news wrong piece a couple of weeks ago, let’s now review the “conservative” and “libertarian” conspiracy websites you should simply avoid. You’ll have to excuse my language in this post. Similar to fake news websites, conspiracy websites make their living off click-bait headlines that are totally over-the-top. Here […]
Bring on the comet! I’m not certain if I’m embarrassed for my fellow man, or ticked off at the ignorance many display when they find – and then share – the “news” read in a Facebook post, Instagram meme or other “news” websites. Take a step back from the keyboard and say this out-loud any time you’re about to comment, […]

His reasoning comes down to this*, with my emphasis. … there’s something special about weapons that can be used both for self-defense and for militias … those […]
Violent crime – including gun crime – is a problem in the US. Of course, it’s a lot less of a problem than it was in 1993, when the violent crime and murder rate was almost double what it is today. I wonder why politicians are not taking credit? Still, tragedies in schools, on the street […]
I’m not sure how long we’ve had the current website theme in place, but it’s been a long time. Even though I have not been writing for quite some time, we needed to make a change.
