I get to work with some very serious people on the street. A 55 year-old man was shot dead in a parking lot in the 900 block of Copley Road in Akron this past Sunday. I absolutely work with people who are capable of this kind of killing. There is an interesting psychology of a […]

Akron Townhall with Mayoral Candidate Sage Lewis - July 14, 2022 You can listen to the audio here: Sage Against The Machine Podcast Archive If you have missed any shows they are now archived in a podcast. You can check them out on my blog. Or you can get them on your favorite podcasting platform. […]

In their article "The Only Sane Choice for Akron Mayor is, Insane!" they write: He has proven that he is not afraid to buck the system when he feels the system is wrong. I don't see Lewis "playing ball" just for the sake of politics. If I'd have to compare Lewis to another politician I'd […]

I had a very good conversation with Brian Simcox today. I know my leftist friends are likely going to be angry for me saying this. I don’t need to get into the controversy of Brian. It has been talked about extensively. Particularly by me. Let me just say that he is a controversial figure. I […]

I've never admitted this to anyone other than my wife. But I carry a gun. Every time I go from the West side of Akron to the East side of Akron I put on my holster and my handgun. It's an 8 round clip plus 1 in the chamber.  I have my conceal carry permit. […]

The city of Akron has just filed yet another lawsuit against me for sheltering homeless people. Our attorneys are so kind to me. Consoling me for this action. I didn't expect anything different. In an America where unlimited children can be murdered in cold blood and NOTHING CHANGES why would I expect Dan Horrigan to […]

Most of these shootings that happen in Akron and the rest of American cities don't happen with AR-type weapons. THEY HAPPEN WITH HANDGUNS. Most gun crimes are committed with handguns. You'll notice that Democrats never mention handguns. And that's how you know that they don't actually care about gun violence. They just care about political […]

In the next couple days, an article will come out in the Akron Beacon Journal about our tent village. This was inspired by our loss of another lawsuit pushing for my right to shelter a very small group of people for a very limited time in the most extreme cases. (I am never allowed to […]

The Inspector Is Taking Pictures Of Our Village right now. I guess my question is: WHEN IS IT EVER APPROPRIATE TO CARE FOR THOSE IN NEED? Immigrants? Asylum Seekers? Addicts? Homeless people? I mean was that story all us Christians learned about the Good Samaritan just a feel-good kid's story? Was Jesus caring for lepers […]

I think I'm a fan of removing the requirement for needing a permit to carry a concealed gun that is coming to Ohio in June. It gives low income people access to this ability. They still have to pass the background check. THAT SAID, I believe a lot of people deeply misunderstand what "stand your […]

Do you ever think that maybe it wasn't God who made us in his image, maybe it was US that made God in OUR image? As I run for mayor over the next year I have made a pact with myself to try to be as positive and hopeful as I can possibly be. At […]

The systemic, flagrant, crushing racism SPECIFICALLY against Black people in Akron Ohio is baked into our very DNA. We've been racist since the beginning. Because of that, we have a HUGE amount of unwinding and healing to do to help our Black Akron neighbors even begin to start in a place of equality with everyone […]

This is what City of Akron, Ohio - Mayor's Office thinks of Democrats that care about things like fresh air, equity and justice, livable wages and affordable housing. COMMUNISTS!!! That's from this article:https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/03/16/ohio-big-city-mayors-kept-active-text-message-commentary/9441788002/ This election is mine to lose. That's all I have to say. This guy should be SO easy to beat. But because […]

The City of Akron can't even balance their budget without the bailout of the ARPA funds.

There is a good article today in the Beacon Journal about working at the Romig Road Amazon warehouse. I personally know several people that work there. They all have said they like it. They all said they like the 3 12 hour shifts they work a week. That allows them to work another job. They […]

This video is in response to this Akron City Council video: https://youtu.be/PAH28HQr10U?t=2292 Together we can make Akron a just and equitable city for ALL Akronites. You must vote in the Akron Mayoral Primary in May 2023.  

The photo is a quote from Pastor Gregory Harrison on the accusations that Councilman Russel C Neal Jr created an unsafe workplace (while only ever meeting on Zoom) for 6 women. Councilman Neal doesn't even know who these women are. I've linked to all of public comments from this Akron City Council meeting below. I […]

What is going on with the city of Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan's administration? They are jumping overboard like rats off a sinking ship. These people have left so far: Police Chief Kenneth Ball Director of Neighborhood Assistance John Valle Deputy Mayor for Integrated Development James Hardy and yesterday, 2 people left with no other job […]

Terri has an article in the Akron Beacon Journal on her retirement entitled "'How do you replace her?' Terri Heckman retiring as leader of two victim agencies."  You will find that the Beacon often writes fluff pieces about corporate insiders. If the Beacon is still around when I die I guarantee their coverage will not […]

I've had some friends that I was sure were going to jail. The cops show up, they are taken away on warrants. And the next thing you know... They are back. Well, it turns out there is no room at the inn. These are what each level felony is: FELONY OF THE FIRST DEGREE First […]

I just filled out a form that asked me a bunch of political questions. I thought they were interesting. I've posted my answers here if you are interested in knowing where I stand on certain things:

A Print Newspaper For The People Of Akron The truth of Akron is that for decades it has been run by puppets of the corporations that use Akron tax dollars to make themselves incredibly rich. We can end this.  Revolutions are won through the dissemination of information. People have been killed by cruel governments for […]

The only way we are going to have meaningful change in this country and the world is if we can talk about nuanced topics for what they truly are.

Where Akron's New Police Chief, Stephen L. Mylett, Came From: BELLEVUE WASHINGTON In 2006, Bellevue was rated one of the 25 safest cities in America, based on the per-capita incidence of violent crime. According to a 2018 estimate, the median income for a household in the city was $113,698. The racial makeup of the city […]

Akron City Councilwoman Margo Sommerville asked me to call her today because she felt I was being too negative. I tried to reach out to her but I couldn't get her. This is what I wrote to here: Hi Councilwoman. I tried you a couple times this morning. But your mailbox is full. I really […]

These are the finance summaries that I think pertain to running for Akron mayor. Seriously consider running for Akron mayor. I'm running and so should you. The election is in 2023.

I put this information together in a post on Facebook but thought I'd organize it all here for future reference. First, I posted this document showing the housing code violations the Houseless Movement house has recently acquired. For the record, we received this notice earlier. My official response on social media was: Dear City of […]

  I just saw this article come over: Rising rents and lots of competition as pandemic eases in Akron In Greater Akron, where the cost of living is about 10% lower than the U.S. average, median rent in March 2021 was $960, up 6.1% from 12 months earlier, Stessa said. We already have the highest […]

The ONLY way we are going to make our city better is if we do it ourselves. I have just set up a political committee to begin my process of running for Mayor of Akron in 2023. I have a lot of ideas about how I would make things better. But the NUMBER ONE thing […]

I am not saying I will run for Akron Mayor in 2023. But SOMEONE needs to run and I don't get a sense of anyone thinking about it at this point. (It's getting close to the time when a person has to decide if they are going to run or not if they have any […]
