Without supporters, Trump is just another crazed anarchist.
For the past few days, the news has been dominated by the seizing of the Capitol Building. We have been inundated with images and footage of what are essentially cultists desecrating one of the nations most sacred buildings. They are hard images to see. It’s hard to even comprehend that this happened in the United States. Yet, the cold reality is that it did happen. But as we move on from the nightmare that was January 6th, 2021 we must look to the future. We must now ask, what can we do to ensure that history does not repeat itself?

Another day, another shooting
We hear the same narrative after every shooting. Groups of politicians either call for stricter gun control or cite mental illness as the reason someone decided to open fire on a group of innocent people. At this point, it’s insane that we have still not settled this timeless debate on gun control. Blood continues to be spilt yet we’re no closer to actually preventing these heinous crimes from occurring.
The criminal profile of these shooters is simple enough. A young male who views themselves as a loner and an outcast chooses to take out a lifetime of frustration on innocent…
Officers nationwide are put on notice
We all remember the horrible images of George Floyd begging for his life while officer Derek Chauvin remained kneeling on his neck without remorse. What came after was nationwide rioting. Cities burned because people, both black and white were tired of blatant police misconduct aimed at minorities. Well, the trial of Derek Chauvin has finally begun and it sends an important message to every police officer in the nation.
The future is uncertain and no one knows what the jury will deliver. To so many, it’s obvious that Chauvin is painfully guilty, but it’s also impossible to predict what a…
Inequality is alive and well in our judicial system
After months of searching, charges were finally brought against two men in connection to the murder of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. Julian Khater and George Tanios were both taken into custody earlier in the month for the role they played in the January 6th Capitol riots.
More importantly, they were found to be partially responsible for Sicknicks’s death. But the charges against them were not murder charges. Instead, they’re assault and conspiracy charges. And while that may be enough to put them behind bars for the rest of their lives, we need to be honest. …
All it took was a very expensive wedding.
Recently my fiancee and I set a date for our wedding. I proposed in October 2019. But if I’m being honest, I only did so to make her happy. I don’t see what the difference between being married and not being married is for a couple like us. But I love her, and I’m willing to do anything to put a smile on her face. So I decided it was time to ask her when and where she’d like to get married.
After what seemed like an eternity of venue shopping, I wrote a check for one payment for the…
Party loyalty has become a nationwide cancer
There is a lingering problem in American politics today. For months the public was made to believe that Democrats were the heroes our country needed to get rid of Trump and actually make America great again. We’ve were pushed to vote blue on promises of $2000 stimulus checks and proper handling of COVID-19. All these empty promises have shed light on the cancer that is party loyalty. One that’s spreading through our country with no signs of slowing down.
We’ve reached a point in our society where many either see all Republicans as evil or all Democrats as evil. There…
Something tells me the Biden children never had to sign loan documents before
President Biden recently gave his first CNN town hall interview. It was all standard fanfare. The majority of people lobbed softball questions at him, to which he replied with his usual charming answers. Eventually, he received a question to which he had no sly come back. A question that put his back to the wall and forced out his true feelings on student loan forgiveness. When asked if he’d be willing to make the fabled proposal of a $50,000 student forgiveness protest happen, Biden responded with the following:
“I will not make it happen.”
Biden has had his work cut…
SPOILER ALERT: He wouldn’t be happy.
Created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon in 1941, Steve Rodgers (Captain America) was meant to be the embodiment of everything the United States represents. He has always reflected our nation’s rhetoric of never giving up, even when all hope is lost. By being devoted to doing the right thing at all costs, even if it’s unpopular. With this in mind, I began to wonder. If Captain America were a real person, what would he think of our country today?
The second impeachment of Donald Trump is over. Big surprise, a huge group of cowards decided to acquit him. I’ll…
Yes, you’ll have to socialize.
Being an introvert can really suck sometimes. It can feel like you’re missing out on life. Personally, there’s been times when friends would invite me out and I would skip. I’d wake up the next morning and find social media posts of an amazing night I forced myself to miss. The idea of putting myself out there and socializing with random people just doesn’t appeal to me. I would much rather stay home with a good book or story-driven video game instead of socializing with people I don’t know.
But when I realized my fiance was missing out on her…
Congress is nothing more than a millionaires club
We’ve heard for months about an upcoming $2000 stimulus check. In January, it was instilled into our brains that so long as both of Georgia’s Senate seats were won by Democrats, an immediate relief bill would be passed. The struggling people of the United States would finally receive some meaningful help. And in January, the good people of Georgia ripped the Senate majority position from Mitch McConnell’s cold hands and pulled off what many believed to be impossible. …
