Amazon Recommendations, Politics, U.S. Government

Mayor Pete was interesting to watch this because the public rarely gets to see what happens behind closed doors of a presidential campaign. When Pete Buttigeig became a household name and no one knew how to pronounce it, there was a rising division among the Democrats of young versus old candidates. There were die hard

U.S. Government, Writing

I have to say it’s really hard not to stay tuned to the news when the U.S. is still in the midst of their election (one state, Georgia, in a runoff) and then the Congressional counting of the Electoral votes (House and Senate) on January 6th. There’s going to be objections from both House and

I purposely took off two days after November 3rd to process what happened either way. It’s been weighing on me more about the future

More You Know, U.S. Government, US History

If you haven’t noticed or heard, there’s a lot of debate going on whether to trust the polls.

Fast forward to 2020 and we seem to be in the same predicament except four years have

No matter what you think of David Koresh or the people that died in there, they died for what they believed in. And that’s more than I can say for a lot of people. -David thibodeau- Most everyone knows the story of David Koresh and his followers that were Branch Davidians. The percentage of what

FYI, U.S. Government, US History

A teacher from my high school currently teaches A.P. History and what a way for students to experience an actual impeachment process in the United States.

Life, Politics, U.S. Government

I’m writing this because there are a few people in my life who I consider mentors, but sometimes we fall very opposite when it comes to politics. There is one in particular who has helped me grow and still does, but unlike me who never voted for the second George Bush, either time, she did.
