Father, Husband, blue collar fella that just wants a better world for my family. Made a life working hard in Chicago. Trade Unionist. I'm really disappointed in people that I thought I once knew. You can call me whatever you want to.

I forget to take the time to look at these books that my family made for me on Father's day. Fortunately, my daughter remembers to pull them off the book shelf so that we can relive our best memories at our National Parks and other adventures around the world. I'm truly grateful for all of it.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

I grew up listening to my racist uncles spew garbage while I was a kid that went to schools in communities that were very diverse. Even as a boy, I knew my uncles were poison that would eventually poison the world all over again. This era is everything that they wanted. I refuse to accept this era.

Right now, I can't think of many things much more American than taking a stand for those that need others to stand up for them.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
