Reviews of the politicians kissing babies and running governments around the world; applaud and criticize the decisions they make and their implications.
A Visual History of the #YangMediaBlackout
Back in June of 2019, I tweeted about the latest egregious example of MSNBC excluding Democratic Presidential candidate Andrew Yang from their ongoing coverage of the 2020 Presidential candidates. There had been previous examples, but that was the worst up to that point because they had photos of all 20 candidates who were going to be in the first debates, and instead of including Yang as one of them, they included someone who wasn't even going to be there. I then started to add each new example as a new reply, and that ongoing thread has now been covered over and over again with each new example as a source of entertaining absurdity. It's been covered by traditional media outlets like The Guardian, Vox, and The Hill. It's also been covered by new media like Ethan and Hila Klein of the H3 Podcast for their two million subscribers.

President Kennedy's Insights
There are things that we need to do that we have to do and it cannot be stalled any longer. We must be determined and focus on our life's purpose and we cannot settle for praise but achieve the glory set before us. When it comes to politics, we cannot be easy-going and light-hearted. We must be firm and directed led by the belief that unity is the force that unites us. We cannot fear to do the things that we hope for, to elevate the good nature of all men and women. To see from the eyes of others and give empathy where it is due. Time has changed and our time has come. To do the things that must be done. This is what Kennedy believed in.

The Horrible Legal Legacy of Attorney General Jeff Sessions
For minority Democrats in Congress, rhetoric paints Trump as an architect of evil, or that’s what they’d have us believe. Immediately following Trump’s election, millions of women took to the streets in protest, but in protest of what? As a socialist, I think this shows a weakness in the Democratic establishment’s response to Trump, while simultaneously showcasing how fantastically that establishment has co-opted social movements like Occupy Wall Street, or more recently, #Resist.

Who Are You Really If You Vote For Trump OR Biden?
The people of this nation have positioned themselves to flow blindly with their binding political views. No one is ready to have the conversations needed to build a better future for our country. We've got a giant slab of land, a person with hardly the qualifications to run it, and millions of mindless sheep soaring through life as if today is "normal." We've an election coming up with two men at the forefront, neither qualified, neither appropriate enough to run even a daycare. We are currently stepping into the shadows, risking the loss of everything if either one takes office.

A Conversation Between World Leaders
The following is a collection of quotations, the words of two people. They are not talking to each other, but their comments have a certain commonality. One of the people was a world leader. The other is a world leader. The comments of each tell us which might be more fit to lead. One is an extraordinary person; the other is not. The idea of this exercise is not to determine who the speakers are (that’s easy) but to understand the skill set of a successful leader.
