#tentcity #trump #election2020 #southernborder #texas #dhs Conflict and war make money. They can make money for both sides, though if the conflict turns into an all-out-war, only the victor will get to enjoy it. So it should come as no surprise to learn that under the Trump Administration, a project that would have cost them $1, ended up costing them $25 million instead. According to a report by Vice News, the department of homeland security (DHS) was offered a city-owned building at the outrageous lease price of $1...

#trump #election2020 #texasshooting #ohioshooting #racistchants No mass shooting had been so clearly a hate crime, that was initiated by Trump, more so than the one from El Paso. By now, we all know what happened. A lunatic, white supremacist, male, drove to a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, to try to kill as many Mexicans as possible. That same day, another lunatic, white supremacist, male did the same thing in Dayton, Ohio. And where did their guidance come from? The very President of the United States. The "greatest...

#judges #election2020 #courtsystem Back in May, I wrote about how we're so focused on the immediate news and are completely missing out on the long-lasting changes the Republicans and the Trump administration are perpetrating in the background. The most impactful and least talked about is how our Federal Court system is being shaped for decades to come. The most recent episode from NPR's Embedded show is taking a look at the very real implications of our missing the forest for the trees. Though the show is focusing on...

Our political leaders, and special interest groups, have done a great job in getting the two sides of climate change to fight against each other. Instead of working towards a solution, both parties are hard at work fighting. We know that climate is one of those things which does not follow our political system, much less care about it. I feel that as each party continues to fight with each other climate is creeping on both of them (us) as it gets ready to pounce.

#trumpthehack #trump #election2020 Back in April, I wrote how Trump was a Hacker in the true sense of the word. I wrote that Trump had found very effective bugs in our media ecosystem that allowed him to bypass the very safeguards that were created to people like him off the medium. Hacker Trump didn't stop there, he continued to hack his way through our country's checks-and-balances. He did this through various tools and methods his predecessors had used in the past, though not all at once, and used...

We have all been told to be careful with kitchen fires. That kitchen fires should not be put out with water, specially grease fires. However, seldom have we seen the consequences of doing so. In the video below we see just how impactful, and unbelievable, those consequences can be

If only momentarily, there are some people that get to experience the feeling and emotion of flight. During what appears to be a rescue operation, a person jumped from one of the upper floors of a high-rise building onto a large inflatable mattress as a part of a rescue mission. The video is full of suspense because you watch the flight for what feels as a lifetime before the person lands safely.

#mueller #election2020 #lnsc #acloserlook I enjoy watching the late-night show's satirical take on the day's news. They are mostly sharp and entertaining. Because most of the hosts are left-leaning, they tend to satirize the Republicans more than the Democrats. The jokes and lambasting are tough, but they've mostly been true. And while true, they are lacking the necessary criticism to make them an effective force for change. Thus, all of the work and effort spent on these monologues are turning into nothing but echo-chambers for the viewers. Take...

#muellerreport #election2020 Robert Mueller and his band of merry men (and women), spent nearly 2 years investigating Trump, his campaign and Russia. The output of that investigation was a 450-page report. The report was broken into two volumes, volume 1 focused on conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia and volume 2 focused on obstruction of justice. On the first subject, Mueller was clear in his conclusion, there was no conspiracy between the campaign and Russia and Russia's government interfered in our election. Sure, volume 1 included a...
