Does Wearing a Mask Help?
On Feb. 07, 2020, Donald Trump said emphatically this virus was a killer, was aerosolized and would even hurt children. Then he lied repeatedly to the American people saying it would magically go away, just so he could avoid a panic (he said). The end result is more people dying, more people being infected, and more panic. That is truly bad leadership.

Trumps Been Instigating Civil War The Whole Time
This piece was recorded July 26, 2020. It is unfortunately still relevant. Trump went from fomenting civil disobedience in his initial campaign and first three years, to instigating civil war this year.

Fact Check On Trumps NOT The Greatest Economy
Simply put, without going into the whole history of US economics, since Truman, Johnson, Kennedy, Clinton Reagan, Carter, Eisenhower, Nixon & Ford all had higher GDP performance that Donald Trump. And that’s only eight that did better than Donald. If you go back further, Donny gets pushed even further down the list. So, no Trump did not produce the greatest economy and yes, he continues to lie to his supporters about it.
The Wolf Pelosi Stimulus Bill Argument
Sure everyone makes mistakes, but when it happens on important issues one hopes that the mistakes are corrected so that we can all learn and do better. Wolf Blitzer made a mistake in an interview with Nancy Pelosi. Then he compounded the mistake because he did not grasp that she was trying to inform him that his context was way off base. This piece delves into the context.

The Purpose of the Electoral College
See, here’s the thing. People are saying let’s get rid of the Electoral College. They say this because it looks like it is broken and typically reference the Bush/Gore and Trump/Hillary elections with regard to the popular vote. The thing is that the electoral college is broken. But should we throw it away or fix it?
Trump is an Antichrist, Not a Savior
Donald claims to be “the chosen one” along with his claims of being ‘the only one that can save us’ and ‘he alone can fix everything’ fit with the bibles descriptions of the “man of lawlessness” “will appear performing signs and wonders to mislead”. 2nd Thessalonians, chapter 2, verse 9-10 “This lawless one will appear as part of the workings of Satan, accompanied by all the power and signs and wonders at the disposal of falsehood.”
Is defecting to Russia Trumps best option?
Trumps options for surviving if he is unable to stay in the White House are limited. Unfortunately for America his best option is to defect to Russia. The only way that works is if he sells out America to Putin.
Tone of Voice vs. Substance
Sophist lies and rationalizations can distract us from what is important, so we need to be very careful about getting caught up in distracting arguments and learn how to focus on things that are more relevant.
Trumps Election Fraud Moves

Trusted Sources
One of the biggest problems we have in understanding truth and reality is bias. And we are all biased, some more, some less; some more in ‘some’ areas and less in others. So it is smarter for us to question why we think what we think is right or wrong rather than just accept it. And that’s what this piece is about. If we really want to know the truth, we need to start by being more humble.
Impeachment – Understanding What is “High Crimes and Misdemeanors”?
What Democrats and Republicans need to understand about impeachment is that the term ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ has nothing to do with actual crimes. It has to do with ‘loss of public trust’. The precedence for this use goes all the way back to the year 1371, solidified in the 1500’s and became regularly used from the 1600’s forward. The reason our founding fathers used the term in the US Constitution was because they wanted a president to be able to be impeached if he abused the public trust in the office of the presidency.
