Thanks to President Trump and his cohorts we are living through an openly reawakened time of prejudicial conduct from white supremacists. If you are like me, you had deluded yourself into the belief that these prejudicial ideologies were steadily decreasing in society over recent decades. Apparently, the white supremacist ideologies were just hidden from our …
I have written in other places that in August of 1619 when the first black Africans were brought to our North America shores, slavery and racism arrived at that exact same time. We need to remind ourselves that 1619 was 157 years before the United States of America was born. Now, this clearly means that …
On Wednesday, noon EDT exactly, Donald J. Trump ceased to be our President and Joseph R. Biden became our 46th President of the United States. The events of that day in the Federal Political arena made some people happy and some people sad, but those events were set in motion a long time ago. In …
Now we are hearing about off duty police officers participating in the assault on our Capitol and even one State elected official that just couldn’t stay away. What I am finding interesting, however, is the idea that a white supremacist Police Officer just might be inclined to abuse his or her police powers when dealing …

When I think about our system of laws, I think of a pyramid. All of our laws are linked one to another up and down that pyramid with the United States Constitution at the apex and the local regulations at the base. Generally speaking, one law cannot cause change to occur higher up the pyramid, …
With all the turmoil and chaos we have been living with for the last four years, most of our fellow Americans are exhausted emotionally. With all the anxiety and fear that we have been subjected to in 2020 by the Coronavirus, it is hard to imagine a reason for any American not to have an …
I don’t remember where I heard this, but there was said to be this small town along the Western frontier. It was a small town. In fact, it was so small that it could not support one Lawyer, but it could support two. The point is this. Lawyers argue with each other about disagreements between …
Yesterday I republished my blog post from November 10th, 2016 where I expressed my thoughts about how we had shouted to the world that we are a Nation of prejudice, and misbehaviors that had previously been thought to exist only in the shadows of our society. For those who might want to read that post, …
