Every day I get a visit from my past. No lie. Every. Day. The visit is not from a childhood friend or classmate; like that scene in a movie where the foggy mist gives a hint the person is somebody from the past or someone from the future visiting the present to give a warning about some major life event.

I enjoy researching family histories. I’m always fascinated by how genes express themselves from generation to generation. We are the same creatures as our ancestors were. Even though we may have become healthier, more savvy, and live in a very different reality from our distant relatives, doesn’t mean we can’t learn anything from their journey. In fact, the process of researching your own family tree will often leave you feeling as though you’ve been looking in a mirror. If you go back far enough, you may even come across yourself.

The meaning of words. The political meaning of words. Many words in common use appear to mean different things to different people and this can cause confusion, which can be used by unscrupulous political zealots, to twist and doctor public opinion.

Have you ever wondered, how does this senator keep on winning reelection? Perhaps it is not a senator, perhaps is it a representative and the question is still: How did you win repeatedly?

I reside in a city, cities are often called ‘concrete jungles’. These two words are one of the most accurate representations of humankind’s need to advance, to invent, to innovate. We deplete what we find around us and then try to replicate it using technology. We are in a sense invaders, seeking to disturb the equilibrium found in nature to further advance. We were surrounded by wood and so we built industries utilizing it, conveniently forgetting that it was a finite resource, and then realization struck, depletion of this ‘resource’ had negative side-effects but the damage was already too far spread and the reversal has to be quick, there can be no ‘baby-steps’. According to Greenpeace, 80% of our forests have been destroyed or damaged beyond repair. Something that used to surround us has been isolated, driven to, for lack of a better term, extinction. At the rate at which forests are disappearing, the only way for the future generation to ever experience it would be through Virtual Reality headsets. To experience what we have before it’s gone I decided to head down to Cooks Forest, Pennsylvania. Cooks Forest is known for its variety of evergreen trees and hence it has also acquired the name, Black Forest, due to the sun never reaching the forest floor due to these trees.

Purity EzenwaPublished 4 years ago in The SwampWhat Is Trump Doing In Trying To Cut Payroll Taxes?
July 23rd, 2020 The news first, and an apology for the photo, it sears me to my soul as well (if the Surgeon General put that picture on tobacco and vaping products, nicotine addiction would nose dive in short order). It was widely reported this morning that after significant resistance from members of his own party, President Donald Trump is dropping the demand for a payroll tax cut to be part of the upcoming corona virus aid bill congressional republicans are working to put together now. To be clear, it was not said that he was dropping the demand altogether but Steven Mnuchin was quoted as saying “it won’t be in the base bill”, when interviewed by CNBC about the payroll tax cut, but he did later say the White House may seek a payroll tax cut in future legislation.
