Four of my books were banned at the Naval Academy but Mein Kampf and the Bell Curve are still there.

So just to review: racism is ok. Antiracism is not.

This is the entire history of America.

It’s been months, & I am back, not because I’ve tuned out, but because I’m tuned in. One on one conversations matter more than the noise this administration wants us to drown in. It’s not about me it’s about all of us standing up for what’s right. Let’s stay informed and let the truth come out.

WTF-Before Donald Trump took office in January 2017, the average U.S. tariff rate on Chinese imports was around 3% to 4%, with some variation depending on the product category, As of today, the effective tariff rate on imports from China is around 30%. Which you pay not China

just a reminder, The 90-day tariff pause officially ended on July 9, 2025, and the new tariff rates are set to go into effect on August 1, 2025,
And the percentage of tariffs from different countries are all over the place, something you need to Google yourself, because it boggles the mind.

Just revisited V for Vendetta, I hadn’t seen it in over a decade. I don’t think I fully grasped it the first time around, or even the second. But watching it now, with everything unfolding in our world, it hits different. Feels less like fiction, & more like a mirror. #vforvendetta

Your voice is your power, your silence is their victory. Though this executive branch demands quiet, it’s your words that unlock the doors to everything still worth saving.

I’ve always tried to be a kind and respectful neighbor. When folks greet me around the neighborhood, I return the gesture,basic decency goes a long way. But lately, I’ve had to draw a line. I’m no longer going to go out of my way to engage with people who voted for Trump,

I walk with compassion.
I speak with humility.
I grow with purpose.
I uplift others with care.
I honor those who seek the same truth,
those who strive, who reflect, who deserve respect.
Together, we rise.

Holy cow, ice is $1 billion over budget, and it’s only been like six months, let that sink in for a minute.

Jesus Christ, it’s only been about five months that this so-called leader has been in charge, God helped us all.

We must remind ourselves what’s going on is not normal, we must summon the courage within ourselves, to voice our dissent against injustice, rise to enact meaningful change and protest to ensure that our voices are heard

DOGE is cutting all these jobs but there’s probably one part of the government we could probably live without.
The U.S. Space Force has seen significant budget increases since its establishment in 2019. For Fiscal Year 2025, the Department of the Air Force requested $29.4 billion for the Space Force

As I travel across the state, from small towns to bustling cities, I’m reminded of the kindness that exists in so many people. While some may be misinformed or burdened by struggles

45 administration made a 15 million dollar deal with El Salvador with no consent with the house or senate!
Not one GOP saying a single word!

Another ramification of the chaotic tariff situation is shipping companies are cancelling sailings from China. One shipping company alone (HLS Group) has already cancelled 80 sailings since the reciprocal tariffs went into effect on 04-05.

Pete Hegseth is the poster child for white male mediocrity. Inferior to his predecessor in every way, but still convinced that Austin was the unqualified one

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth is equally responsible and owns this. Your confirmation served as a stamp of approval and your judgment shouldn't be trusted. This goes for every failure of any official confirmed by the Senate.

Are we there yet? Fascism often creeps in subtly, but there are some telltale signs to watch for. These include:
1. “Erosion of democratic norms”-When free and fair elections are undermined, or when power becomes concentrated in the hands of a single leader or party.
