Is Biden a Stand-In for His Vice- Presidential Nominee?
The Biden campaign experienced one of the greatest political comebacks in history. He lost the first three states in the Democratic primary contest and then won South Carolina and continued his momentum through Super Tuesday. Every Democrat except Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard dropped out and threw their support to Biden before the Super Tuesday vote. The timing couldn’t have been worse for Sanders and better for Biden.

The worldwide urban sustainability by residents has led to growing demands for green buildings, Property care and sustainable livelihood. In response, many developed countries on the globe took the leading role in green or sustainable building construction and practices by supportive policies and financial support, but country like India is in its starting stage in adapting market, educating citizens and policies to encourage more green building developments. Indian cities are scattering the crisis of civilians with escalating urban population, which is destroying the attraction of historical cities in the states of India. Hyderabad, which is served last 400 years under different regime, is clutching the citizens with its heat-island actions on cool zone of Deccan plateau. This paper is intentional to expose the necessity of green buildings to defeat high expenditure crisis with deprived natural resources for sustainable developments in India. Also, elaborates required actions to control the stress on natural resources like water, energy (energy efficiency), radiation (Temperatures)... under the limits of urban municipalities with proper mechanical attention. It also delivers the required road map for preparing potential government policies and institutional governance to save money of million pockets.
Abdul Majeed MohammedPublished 4 years ago in The SwampWe Need To Talk About Communism
I’ve been a politically-minded person for as long as I can remember. It’s always been something that fascinated me. I remember being very young, watching broadcast news discussing some politician. They used the word “communist” and I wasn’t sure what it meant, or even what the context was at the time. What I did know was that it didn’t sound pleasant.

Since I was not disastrously wrong on my Super Tuesday predictions (wrong, but not terribly), here is my attempt to predict the upcoming contests for March.
John HeckenlivelyPublished 4 years ago in The SwampYou're an Idiot
Have you ever been told this? Have you ever told someone this? Odds are both are true, but what was the reasoning behind it. What was said, or done to elicit such a response. It probably had to do with being an ass. Ass in the respect that you or they made an assumption. Making assumptions is a very easy thing to do. We do it on a regular basis. You have to remember the old saying though. To assume is to make an ass out of you and me.
Fire Dragon LitPublished 4 years ago in The SwampIdeology Is More Important Than Intersectionality
The Left is obsessed with intersectionality and identity politics. Merriam- Webster defines intersectionality as, “the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups.” It sounds innocent enough, but this idea is a significant reason why America is divided.

I had a dream a few nights ago that Alabama was burning. That's where I live, Alabama. I had the dream on a cold night, full of rain and the vapor of breathing, but in my dreams I was so hot. I was melting into the earth that was ablaze. That the U.S. government wasn't just letting it happen to me, but that they encouraged it.
Saving Our Children From Crushing Debt
My children are seven and nine years old, and it’s heartbreaking to see how our society is already grooming them to take on crushing debt.

I should start with a warning, I believe in many conspiracy theories. Either partly or fully. The official report of 9/11 has more holes then a crumbly swiss cheese, jfk was killed by the CIA and many more beside. please don't turn off yet dear reader because the rest is an opinion you might have, possibly without realising. You might also agree with me in part, maybe you will read this and in coming days and weeks come over to my side of the fence.
ASHLEY SMITHPublished 4 years ago in The SwampBiden Could Be Major Mistake
After Super Tuesday, the race for the Democratic nomination is now between former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders. The two veteran politicians obviously have dramatically different policy positions and dramatically different views on how to move the party forward.
John HeckenlivelyPublished 4 years ago in The SwampIt's a wide world
"I don't have a problem with immigrants... but so many of them are illegal and breaking the law... that's who I have a problem with." "They're rapists." "They're taking our jobs." "They're just all on welfare using our resources." "They're ruining our economy." There are so many bullshit excuses to validate hatred. So many "reasons" ignorant people defend their racism. Even worse... there are some people who are outright racist and don't even feel shame at how hateful they are to a group of people whos skin is darker than theirs. So many people who's fear of the unknown allows them belittle anyone different from them, rather than trying to understand new things, or different ways of life, we just allow ourselves to fill with hatred and anger.
A Take on Teens
Teens are probably the most underrated group of people in the world as of 2020. We are belittled and discarded, even as thoughtful, intelligent people, despite that this is probably the peak of our life because we have our own opinions. Alas, adults (and the infamous “Boomer” generation) forget about how teens have shaped the world for them. So, they ignore us, and we are left to pick up the scraps of global warming, the bans and legislations placed upon certain groups of people, and plastic pollution—amongst other things.
