My Corrupt Life
My Corrupt Life, By Claudia Nicole Parker Hi, my name is Claudia, and I am here to talk to you about my corrupt life. My parents got divorced when I was very young. Growing up, my dad raised me to be a republican, but my mom raised me to be a democrat. Being young, I had no knowledge of what those words meant, or how being one or the other would affect my life, and affect how people looked at me, and how they treated me.

REPARATIONS NOW, MR. PRESIDENT!
By Guest Contributor Bashir Muhammad Akinyele “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”

Not a Karen
Yeah, I'm not calling them Karens anymore. I know too many decent people named Karen to lump them all together like that, even (gasp!) a Republican or two. The same goes for the term Republican, honestly; just because the GOP as a party has gone off the rails entirely doesn't mean individual people who still identify as Republicans are awful humans.

Hello, President Biden
Dear President Biden: I am just a concerned citizen and would just like to wish you a lot of luck in your new position as The President of the United States. Hate to say this about myself, but I am not a voter in political elections. I am one of those apathic people that just goes out everyday and does there jobs whatever that may be.

Observations Pt 7
My thoughts on defunding the police Points to ponder…. Ok, there is a tropical storm in the gulf – radar shows all sorts of rain over the southern states….. So why then is every video I see of those areas for the protests showing sunshine only????

Dads, daughters, and derringers
24JAN2021; 0705, SUN "If I could rule the world, everyone would have a gun/In the ghetto of course, when giddy-upping on their horse..."- Wyclef Jean of The Fugees back in '96. Switching gears from the debate on the merits of "free money", I'm all but immediately reminded of the adage, "Free men own firearms; not slaves."

The Hypocrisy of judging history
The hypocrisy of judging history Retrospectively applying moral judgment is potentially dangerous There does seem to be a trend towards trying to obliterate truth about “history;” attempts are made to punish descendants- many generations later- for events that were perfectly legal in the period in which they were committed. There are also attempts to delete the truth about these historic events, the prevailing knowledge and opinions of the period in which the events occurred, from the base knowledge of future generations.
