This is another old one - but somehow still relevant I have been thinking about this topic for a long time and finally hit on a way to say it that expressed what I wanted to say. An Imperfect Metaphor I like cats. Note, I didn't mention dogs. In fact, I’m more of a dog person than I am a cat person. Saying I like cats doesn’t impact my feelings about dogs at all, despite it being a reality. Think they are fluffy adorable little murder machines and I enjoy cuddling them.

This is a work of fiction. It uses real public controversies as atmosphere, not as proof. So, let us begin… I know how a jail smells when the night goes wrong. Cold bleach. Old sweat. Burnt coffee that sat too long on a hot plate. And that stale, damp odor that clings to concrete no matter how hard you scrub. You learn it in your first month, and it never leaves you. Years later, you can catch it on a stranger’s shirt in a grocery aisle, and your body tightens before your mind even places the memory. I did my time on the inside in South Carolina, at the state level, and then again down in Florida. County work. Not federal, but we still held prisoners for the Feds that had detainers. Still, a cell is a cell when the doors lock, and policy turns into habit, and habit turns into survival.

Will people still work if there’s a UBI in place? A long and pretentious thought experiment UBI and You There are a lot of common objections to the idea of a UBI and I’m going to try and address them over the next little while. This article is my first stab at it. The objection “People won’t work if you give them money for free”. I’m going to examine that idea and see if it holds up to scrutiny. Spoiler alert: not even a little.

Low taxes discourage spending while high taxes encourage it The Lie We All Believe It’s a common refrain today, more from the right than the left, but both are guilty of it. Lower taxes encourage growth. It’s also a lie.

This article argues that the Citadel Council in Mass Effect doesn’t fail due to ignorance or arrogance, but because it functions as a stability mechanism. Its purpose is to preserve equilibrium, not confront disruptive threats. Evidence of the Reapers is delayed, reframed, or proceduralized because acknowledgment would require structural change. Action is avoided through process, jurisdictional ambiguity, and consensus-building. The Council acts only when inaction threatens its own legitimacy. The failure isn’t moral—it’s structural. The system delays not to prepare, but to survive.

Author’s Note: Thank you for reading. I believe that poetry is one of the few ways we can truly process the shifts in our world. I wrote this piece to capture the tension of our current moment—the transition from the struggles of our past to the hope of a brand-new page. If these words resonated with you, I invite you to subscribe to this stream as I continue to explore the heartbeat of our country.

Another segment of the abuses our agencies have done, and the tolls it's taken on us tax paying Americans. Feel free to comment and share what you know about these abuses, here.

How the Prussian military and how it influenced western civilization and other nations such as Japan.

Welcome to the first issue of my political newsletter. I’ll be writing about the major political headlines seen throughout the week.

Elon Musk is possibly going to be the world’s first trillionaire in the very near future. Why? I don’t mean what has he done to earn that money, that’s another question. I mean, why does he want that result? Why was he pushing for this compensation package from Tesla, which is the largest compensation package that has ever been given to anyone ever?

The Declaration of Reclamation WE THE PEOPLE declare that: When a government forgets its purpose, the people must remember theirs.

Of Loyalty and the Constitution A free nation is held together by others helping each other when in need. In this current state of government, that has not been happening. The Constitution was not written to elevate leaders above criticism. It was written to give ordinary people grounds to resist them when necessary. Loyalty to a single figure is easy. Loyalty to a set of rules, especially when inconvenient, is harder. Ask yourself this plainly: If the same powers were wielded by someone you distrusted, would you still defend them? If the answer is no, then the issue is not ideology. It is power.

Pre-Genesis Protocol Purpose: Identify foreseeable second- and third-order harms prior to or during enforcement. Key Findings (Foreseeable Effects) Second-Order Effects Displacement, not resolution: Individuals move to less visible or more dangerous locations when enforcement exceeds shelter capacity. Third-Order Effects System churn: Repeated citations lead to municipal court involvement, outreach court saturation, and recurring instability. Why This Was Foreseeable Local creation of Outreach Court implicitly acknowledges cyclical enforcement harms. What an AI-Assisted Foresight System Would Have Flagged Policy text analysis: Broad enforcement authority without capacity conditions. Priority Risks High recidivism among unhoused individuals Unsafe displacement locations

President Donald Trump has mastered Mayor Muriel Bowser on Crime and Punishment and now, the financial future of our children and youth. When Muriel Bowser says NO to DC Baby Bonds, Donald Trump said YES to Trump Accounts. It is time for voters and parents to recognize that the Democrats are motivated to abolish the family no matter what Google AI says. Know they want to abolish the family like Karl Marx. Maya Angelou said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are."

This segment is to remind everyone the abuses that have been put on by our U.S. government agencies, and the tax paying costs to them. This is just the start. There's more to come, so be sure to get a membership with, so I can always spread the word to you immediately. copywritten: 2/3/26

A gentle reflection for independent women navigating a noisy and uncertain world. This essay explores how compassion—quiet, grounded, and deeply human—can become a meaningful form of civic engagement. Instead of withdrawing when public life feels overwhelming, it invites readers to practice neighborlieness as a courageous way of showing up for their communities. With practical, sustainable tips for staying informed, building small connections, and engaging without burnout, this reflection offers a hopeful path toward participating in civic life with clarity, dignity, and care.

America seems to move backward; individualism and material success are increasingly prioritized over shared morality. This shift results in disappointment when we see admired family members or public figures act in ways that contradict those values. When someone we look up to acts unethically or falls from grace, it has a broad impact on both them and their supporters.

Mass Deportation of Illegal Aliens is essential for the well-being of the US economy. Yet as pressure comes from the Road to Minneapolis, many Republicans are faltering under the violent protests of the Radical Left and Democrats and the subjective observations of the Radical Left. The pressure is so great that many Republican influencers and political representatives are yielding to the Left's hunt of defunding and disarming the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a federal law enforcement agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Could the Republicans defund and disarm ICE? Submitting to the will of the Radical Left. Ending President Donald Trump's Presidency

Mustache Man The Weimar Republic failed. It was actually a pretty spectacular failure. Their currency became worthless almost overnight, a victim of hyperinflation brought about by the sanctions and reparations from WWI. People were desperate, and Hitler gave them a place to focus their anger — but let’s be clear, without the collapse of the German economy, Hitler would not have been able to make that narrative work. If people are happy, they don’t need someone to blame. He gave them an easy focus for their fear, something that didn’t force them to face reality. Sure, it was a lie — but fascism always starts from a lie.

I was arrested. This is my story of how two idiot police officers took advantage of my situation and used it to make an 'easy arrest'. Not ACAB, but most certainly a decent few are.
