My Prediction for the 2024 Election, I’m Going to Try This Again

Yes, … Continue reading Everything from the Recent Pro-Palestinian Protests is not Just a Narcissistic Transfer from Students to Teachers (or vice versa). It’s Much Larger in Scope.

Here is What I Took Away from Watching Mainstream Media During the Iowa Caucus of 2024

I was away from home, meaning I was subject to whatever news channel was offered at the hotel I was staying at. Unfortunately, that channel was CNN. I watched the coverage from early on – which started as a complete fawning over Nikki Haley to the point CNN anchors were convinced she was going to … Continue reading Here is What I Took Away from Watching Mainstream Media During the Iowa Caucus of 2024
