The New Manifest Destiny
The question is valid, the answers unclear, our future a coin flip of the human equation.

An Army of Our Dead
There is no end that justifies this means. There is not a rational, and thoughtful way forward that incorporates this snapshot of loss, anger, and frustration we have today.

The Din of Inequity
The divisions under the magnifying glass, whose angle is being constantly adjusted to burn our subjective behinds.

Cancelling America
The magnifying effect has been placed on our divisions, and as we all know, and remember; United we stand… divided we fall.

The Curious Commodity of Common Sense
The Curious Commodity of Common Sense You may not know how you know, and that’s the problem. American patriot Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet a few hundred years ago, that curiously says quite a bit about where we stand today as a country. About seven years ago, I heard the saying that you didn’t get…

Surrogates of Sexism
In a world of double standards, is the torch is being passed? Misogyny is going to be spoken of quite a bit over this election cycle. With the amount of women running for President at an all time high, the need for discertion and understanding will be necessary. That word will be brought out and…

Appropriation of Hate
An incident at a local college has stirred up controversy among those who picked up on something during the reporting. The incident apparently started with a student that has conservative views and a meeting of a group she was forming. It is said that someone took exception to her efforts and tried to hit her…

Salem Syndrome 2020
“You aren’t going to get the job… You’re going to go to prison… They’re going to kill me!” All of the self talk that has more than likely happened at least once in our lives. I myself can apply a few memories to those voices, but like anyone I know, I have thought those same…

Redux 2020
Candi-dates Here we are, about to start off another round of prognosticating, evaluations, and overall turd-throwing. The targets, candidates have already begun to line up, some declaring their need for sadistic disapproval officially, while others lie in wait for the eventual deluge of nastiness. It is a sickening submersion into the soup of psychotic shortcomings and…

They Didn’t Come for Our Guns
They will come for our guns, they will ban your right to protecting your way of life… The right has used that term and similar ones for decades. The fear of thy neighbor has always been the bootlace that ties all of the angst together. In an almost cult-like manner, the zombie voters of the…

Lemmings Don’t Get Mulligans
If there is one thing these last three or four years have proven… We don’t elect politicians, we elect head lemmings. There is a scale of gradual growth incline, one generation raising the next one up. That scale was lost somewhere in this digital age and a few generations were systematically, and sacrificially skipped, or lost.…

Russia and the White House
I went to a grade school in Seattle named John B Allen. It had and still does to this day an air raid siren mounted high atop a tower in its northwest playground’s corner. We used to hear it every now and then growing up, a ominous reminder to the past and an even scarier…

The Disquieting War
Yes, it is a sad fact about today that goes unnoticed, deemed not newsworthy. We are a nation with every passing day that goes carelessly deeper into oblivion. We are at war whether the sensibilities of one allows belief or not, a war it most certainly is. On this site, in my articles, I have…

The Next World Order – Classes
One of the many areas of the world that will always be going through change is the classes of the population. At this moment some of those aspects are front and center and others are hidden rather well. From the Panama papers to the Wikileaks and every bit of hacking in between there are fewer…

Democracy’s Onion
There have been more than a few things in life that have been described using an onion as a metaphor. So why not use it to look at a symptom of this living today that may not be recognized. As much as I love to break things down to their microscopic bits and pieces, I…

This is Not Your Past
My wife and I migrated into the discussion on guns we are having right now as a society. I had broken down or felt the urge to comment on a friends post and it was an instant mud pit, with the insults, ad hominem attacks and insinuations. I knew I shouldn’t have indulged in opening…

The Next World Order – Sexes
In examining things that will shape and propel our civilization forward, it is seldom popular to examine them as they are happening in fear of shaping the messages or demonizing them. There are many factors and facets that are arranging themselves now, and in looking at how that may affect the future, some thinking remains…

The Cowardly New World
There is one line from the old movies and literature that stands out at times. This brave new world has been used countless times in many stories. It is more than a pity that that same line cannot be used to describe our story, our times. There will always be a lack of context as…

The Parts of Our Sum
I am examining the fracturing, that foreboding feeling once more upsetting the bile of serenity. I am watching truth and lies, good and bad have its way with us and the dedication and commitment to our ideals fold away easily in the excitement of the moments. I hear keep your eyes on the prize and…
