Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
Trump Is Off and Running, for the 2nd Time
BRYCE ON POLITICS He hits the ground running at a mega-campaign event. Click for AUDIO VERSION. President Trump's re-election campaign kicked off this past Tuesday at the Amway Center in Orlando. This was well attended with over 20,000 people inside, and thousands outside watching the rally on large screens (120K tickets were issued). The size will undoubtedly dwarf the upcoming Democrat debate at Miami's Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, allowing no more than 2,400 people in-doors. The massiveness of the Trump rallies perplexes the news media and the Democrats. They do not understand the overwhelming support he receives. Plain and simple, they just don't get it. Then again, maybe they do, but just don't know how to respond.
The Brexit Betrayal
Scotland: Scotland's position on the Brexit issue is not entirely unique within the British Isles. Neighbouring Ireland faces similar issues, but with other aspects more unique to the "Emerald Isle."
M.K GirvanPublished 5 years ago in The SwampThe Corrupt Conception of the UK Conservative Party - Robert Peel the Prime Minister of Rotten Boroughs
Robert Peel made history on more than one occasion. He was a British politician who served two terms as Home Secretary, and twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the first half of the 19th Century. He wasn’t only the man who created the Metropolitan Police Force, but he is also considered to be the founder of the modern Conservative Party.

BRYCE ON POLITICS - Was Truman Capote correct? Click for AUDIO VERSION. The liberals in Hollywood are panicking over the anti-abortion bills as put forth by states such as Missouri, Alabama, Louisiana, and Georgia, which will inevitably lead to a challenge of Roe vs. Wade. So much so, they are resorting to blackmail politics, telling these states, particularly Georgia, they will not film in their states if the law is implemented starting in the new year. Both Netflix and Disney have indicated they will pull out if the bill is implemented. Disney is no longer the simple film studio and amusement park we grew up with. Now it is a conglomerate consisting of Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar movies, and amusement parks, hotels, and ocean cruises around the world.
Along Intraparty Lines
We're a year and a half from the 2020 presidential election, and the campaign has already been a shape-shifting thing, with the biggest Democratic field in history, and a Republican president determined to prove that he and he alone can defy political gravity, a second time.
Michael Eric RossPublished 5 years ago in The SwampIntolerance in Politics and Life
Intolerance in Politics and Life Intolerance is growing, and it seems those who preach "equality for all" are becoming the most intolerant. While both extremes have unacceptable behaviour, the left appear to be in denial that their actions and words are as bad as the far right.
Peter RosePublished 5 years ago in The SwampThe Underdog Times: A New Story
The American political system is beginning to tell a new story, and it’s that of the American people constructing their future. Who’s telling it? The Underdog Times.
Keane Neal-RiquierPublished 5 years ago in The SwampThe Real State of the Union
With the onslaught of global warming striking destruction, I fear the United States faces greater challenges with each passing month. The severity of weather patterns all around the globe has only intensified the urgency that humanity is facing at the most crucial point in our history. The forces of denial have already hastened us to the point of no return. With the clock ticking and time running out, it is essential that cooler heads prevail. Yet, those climate change deniers cling to their convictions; that is all well and good. But, as the wrath of nature rocks a splintered nation, millions are continually thrown into an inferno of hopelessness and despair.
Dr. WilliamsPublished 5 years ago in The SwampIs Impeachment Truly Necessary?
BRYCE ON POLITICS A comparison between Presidents Nixon, Clinton, and Trump. Click for AUDIO VERSION. The Democrats and main stream media are currently consumed with impeaching President Trump, particularly as we approach the 2020 elections. Frankly, they are fooling nobody but themselves regarding their agenda. Even if the Democrats in the House passes charges of impeachment, they will inevitably fail in the Senate which is under Republican control.

José RicardoPublished 5 years ago in The SwampThe 22nd Amendment
The 22nd Amendment was passed in 1947 by a Congress wishing to make sure each President had a set term limit in the wake of World War II, meaning that fascism’s rise had to be stopped. In order to prevent such an occurrence happening in the United States, Congress set up term limits, invoking the rule that no president should be in office more than twice. The 22nd Amendment was ratified by three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by Congress. A founding father like George Washington was not willing to seek a third term in office, as he was wildly popular in his day since he got re-elected.
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 5 years ago in The SwampReason First: Did Theresa May Exit too Early or too Late?
What happened to the “stiff upper lip” mentality of Britons? Maybe the expression of emotion was Theresa May’s way of defeating repression. With her exit as prime minister of Britain, she now has time to reassess her policies and step back and review her time as Head of State. Back-to-back resignations from from David Cameron in 2016 to now May, might place Great Britain in a state of puzzlement. Will May’s successor be able to hold the reins long enough enough to see a proper Brexit deal in the fall?
