WE DIDN’T COME THIS FAR TO ONLY COME THIS FAR; We are all fighting daily battles, we all struggle and falter. Nobody has it easy in this life and nobody is perfect.

The smartest people have done the dumbest things. The most courageous people have done cowardly things, the most honest people have told lies.

We all have the capacity…

Why was everyone on board with the Government's decision to infringe on our ability to travel by airplane in the days following the 9/11 attacks in which less than 3,000 Americans died but so many people absolutely lose their minds at the very thought of the Government's good faith efforts to limit the number of deaths during a virus outbreak that …

This stage of the debacle now st…

Different book, same old story as Kim Potter is charged in the killing of Daunte Wright. The “no matter what you do, back the blue” crowd immediately stigmatizes and criminalizes Daunte Wright to seemingly justify Potter’s unjustifiable actions.

It was July 2019 and I found myself in a Washington D.C. high rise board room presenting to a conference room full of The Who’s who of Republican “King Makers”.
