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 …
Almost exactly two hundred and forty five years ago our Founding Fathers were assembled in Philadelphia as the Second Continental Congress. Their proceedings were called to order on May 10th, 1775 with twelve of the thirteen colonies represented. This Second Continental Congress would become the de facto National Government going forward. Hostilities had broken out …
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 …

It is interesting and, I think, informative to compare “white privilege” in our United States to “systemic racism” in our United States. Both of these elements in our National character are widely known and widely misunderstood, but they are mostly misunderstood by white folks. That’s right; the very people who enjoy the benefits of “white …
Yesterday, January 6th, 2021, Our President showed us just how far he would go to overthrow our Federal Government and remain in power. Yesterday was the culmination of his lies that all led us to the events we witnessed. He stoked the flames of radical insurrection in his legions of supporters and invited them to …
It is difficult to see a way to view the current Trump Administration uncooperative behavior with respect to the transition and not think about the possibility that it is all designed to make the Biden Administration’s work much harder. More of our fellow Americans will die because of the Covid-19 and the Trump Administration’s lack …
Each and every day it seems that we face new and bigger numbers relating to the Coronavirus Pandemic. Total infections, new daily infections, total hospitalizations, new daily hospitalizations, total deaths, and new daily deaths all have increased to levels that most of us find hard to empathize with. We look around and we see our …
