Here’s my obligatory political post folks. I know this isn’t typically what you come here to read but it’s something I think needs to be said. TL;DR Don’t be afraid to make your voice heard. Please, please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote. Ya know, getting political has become […]

Things of the Past
I try my best not to dwell on mistakes. To theoretically live without regret. It’s sort of a recent development that I’ve come to let the past go and turn my attention to the present and future. I’m a happier person because of it. My stress levels are way down and I feel as if […]
A Slightly Atypical Charlottesville Post
TL;DR The Neo-Nazists and white supremacists have been around for a long time, the Trump rhetoric has only made them more confident, and I feel a little unwelcome in the country of my birth. All the things that happened in Charlottesville were pretty shocking to a lot of people. All of a sudden, white nationalists […]
Searching for the Strategy?
If you’re like me, seeing and hearing about everything going on with North Korea is pretty unsettling. However, some pretty important people aren’t very worried at all. Which is kind of confusing because I never know what to think when I look to the Trump administration for strategy updates. One day, the CIA director says […]
From Fake News to Bad Press
So one week ago, we saw that Sean Spicer announced his resignation from his position as White House press secretary. That was one week ago.

So, what does this mean for the future of fake news?” It means the fake news campaign just got a lot harder to fight. A video posted by […]
Busy Day in America
So a lot of things happened today, friends. O.J. Simpson got parole. Really, the fascination with Simpson’s trial kinda ended before my generation, or me at least, but I still recognize that this is big news. The subject has been more or less quiet for several years now, but now the spotlight is back on […]
Modern Day Presidential
I really don’t want to make discussing Trump’s latest Twitter turpitude a staple for this blog, but really it’s hard to just ignore it. Our president posted on Twitter Saturday “My use of social media is no Presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL.” What does that even mean? Validating your actions by basically saying this is […]
Freedom of Speech Trumps Twitter
For about a year now, we’ve spent countless hours checking up on our benevolent president’s Twitter account for his daily updates, whether it be a diplomatic snapshot or a hot opinion on a highly contested topic. Weirdly enough, he’s decided that blocking people from reading his tweets is a good choice. I’m not so sure […]
