Feudalism is Inevitable. American Democracy is Dead
I wish I had more time to write about this. But my life is wonderfully intense and exciting right now. This all became crystal clear when I watched this interview of Michigan Democrat Senator Slotkin on Breaking Points: She is the “young face” of the Democratic Party at age 49. You can see that the…

When Intelligence Becomes Arrogance: How Elitism is Fueling America’s Authoritarian Turn
We didn’t lose the working class because they’re ignorant—we lost them because we stopped listening. For years, a quiet war has been raging under the surface of American politics—not between left and right, but between the credentialed and the dismissed. We don’t talk about it much. It makes educated people uncomfortable. It forces Democrats and…

Habeas Corpus Is the Line—And They’re Getting Ready to Cross It
In one of the most alarming developments yet, Stephen Miller—senior adviser to Donald Trump—has openly said the administration is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus. This isn’t just legal jargon. This is the right that prevents the government from locking you up indefinitely without a trial. It is the bedrock of civil liberty, the final…

Is Trump Just A Paper Tiger Bully?
So now, out of the blue, this happened: US-China trade deal live: Tariffs to be lowered for 90 days, US stock futures rally It’s not really surprising. Trump has been doing this on-again, off-again tariff bullshit since day one. But why? I really don’t understand the point unless it’s just political theater—that Trump is a…

This Isn’t a War—But It Might Be the Prelude
We’re not in a civil war. We’re not in a revolution. But we’re not in peacetime either. What we’re in, right now, is something like the silence before the storm. The part where the government lays the groundwork, tightens its grip, and tests how far it can go before someone pushes back. This week, the…

Project 2025: The Plan to Break Democracy and Crown a President King
Click here for the full Project 2025 document. – Mandate for Leadership – The Conservative Promise. What if I told you there’s already a detailed plan in motion to dismantle the U.S. government as we know it—and it’s 900 pages long? That’s not hyperbole. That’s Project 2025. Backed by the Heritage Foundation and over 140…

Master List: Authoritarian and Anti-Constitutional Actions by Donald Trump (2025)
The last update to this was on May 24, 2025. Let me know if I forget to add to it. This post is a rolling chronicle of executive orders, proclamations, federal memoranda, and allied state-level initiatives that legal scholars, journalists, and watchdog groups have flagged as authoritarian, unconstitutional, or corrosive to democratic norms since President…

The Hollow Center: Why We Keep Getting Leaders Like Trump
This can’t be said clearly enough: Donald Trump is not some brilliant tactician. He’s a moron. A buffoon. A guy who apparently thinks tariffs are a game of darts and numbers are just suggestions. 145%? 0%? Who knows! Even he doesn’t seem to know. The real problem isn’t just Trump, though. It’s what we’re doing…

Lancaster’s Mayor Wants a Fentanyl Genocide – Here’s My Response
In this video, I react to California Mayor R. Rex Parris’s chilling comments about giving homeless people “all the fentanyl they want” to eliminate them. I draw disturbing historical parallels to Nazi-era dehumanization, question the logic and morality of his so-called “plan,” and call out the absurd cruelty and ignorance behind such rhetoric. This isn’t…

The problem with DEI is that it did not go far enough
Maybe my biggest issue I have with Democrats is that they are too much in their heads. I don’t trust one single value a Democrat professes. The last time I remember, Democrats swore they loved immigrants, diversity equity and inclusion, and having a woman being president. That’s all out the window now. They will happily…

Donald Trump Is Not A Fascist. STOP SAYING IT!
In the video below, I share why I believe it’s inaccurate to label Donald Trump as a fascist. I walk through the historical definition of fascism, outline its key traits, and compare them to Trump’s actions. While I acknowledge that some of his behavior may be authoritarian or harmful to democratic norms, I argue that…

Come Get Me, Assholes!
Have you seen this shit: If you want your blood to boil and your spine to quiver, you can read more about it here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/sebastian-gorka-kilmar-abrego-garcia-activists-b2735153.html He said: “It’s not left and right, it’s not even Republican or Democrat. There’s one line that divides us: Do you love America, or do you hate America? It’s really…

Bull-Fucking-Shit: “This kind of violence has no place in our society regardless of what motivates it.”
After Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro was nearly burned to death in his mansion, that was his statement: “This kind of violence has no place in our society, regardless of what motivates it,” Mr. Shapiro said in his first public comments since Sunday morning. That’s always such a convenient statement. It’s always made by the elite…

Democrats Should Have Listened to Krugman
Looking back at the whole scene now, I don’t believe people really care about deficit spending. All they care about are jobs. Most of the first decade of this century was in deficit. No one cared because most everybody had a job that wanted one. Now that people don’t have jobs they are angry about…

Did the Stimulus Create Jobs? | FactCheck.org
I’m not ideological when it comes to politics. I just want to know the truth. Whenever a pundit or politician opens their mouth I might as well be listening to someone trying to convince me that Santa is totally real and will be coming to a chimney near me. The only thing I believe about…

Bill Clinton on Jon Stewart
On Jon Stewart Bill Clinton Calls Out the Tea Party Tea Partiers are being used. They are pawns in a game which is designed to weaken the federal government’s regulatory authority, because fewer regulations mean the ability to cut corners and reduce costs, which leads to increased profits. (the video is on that link above.…

Sage’s Take On The Current State Of The Union
I have been getting exhausted by news and politics recently. That’s a new development for me. Those have been some of my major forms of entertainment. But my Gulf Coast Oil Disaster experience really effected me. It made me completely distrust how current events are presented to the public. We, as viewers, have absolutely no…

Monsanto and Haiti
I believe every story has two sides… at least. If you are truly interested in agriculture and the effects of GMO’s, I highly recommend you spend some time on the Monsanto blog itself. They are very open to allowing dissenting opinions and take a great deal of time and effort to make their case in…

Food and Our World
Food is an incredibly important issue in our global society. Take a look at the photo essay below and try to convince me that we aren’t insanely fortunate to have the food system we have here in the U.S. Photo Essay: The End of Plenty I’m sorry, but I’ve seen a lot of farm land…
