I have been having so much thoughts about Veronica Brown, it has been unsettling. With the adoptive couple now suing the biological father for half a million dollars on top of taking his daughter away from him. Adding insult to injury. My mom said it goes to show, the government still doesn’t care about us. […]
Craig Cobb is a white supremacist who has been recently purchasing land in a small North Dakota town called Leith. His plan is to transform the tiny town of twenty-four residents into a haven of white supremacy; and he plans to do so by first gaining political power. When I first came across this story […]

It is the time of year where the parents, relatives, and friends of graduating students gather to support and celebrate the accomplishment.

The general public doesn’t like to see pictures from the past. Pictures of the American holocaust, the massacres, the mass graves, the slavery and the lynch mobs. But the pictures exist and the fact that they do shows us part of the true history. This happened to many, many American citizens ancestors. This country was […]
I get upset easy. Many people know that, some people say I try to be controversial. I don’t. I really don’t. Honest to God, I wished I could just not give a damn. I wished sometimes my life was a routine of waking up, drinking lattes, going to a 9 to 5, coming home and knowing […]
So apparently ethnic studies classes serve no other purpose other than promoting racial resentment. Yep, who knew? I remember taking one of those classes back in college, but I never realized that my doing so was responsible for my occasional “kill whitey” outbursts in public. Here I thought that much of my rage had something […]
I always tell students in my film courses to understand the creator of a piece of work before they delve into the work itself. Holding dear to my formula, Quentin Tarantino, the director of the highly anticipated and now, highly controversial Django Unchained is a piece of work himself. However, I will focus on Tarantino’s heavy […]
I never realized what assimilation was or is. I never gave a thought about genocide or Manifest Destiny and I thought the holocaust only pertained to what Hitler did to the Jewish people. And it didn’t matter to me, because I never gave a thought about it. I was busy living life as I knew […]

So the kids were out of school yesterday; all banks and government offices were closed as well to observe Columbus Day. For many it’s just another day off and nothing special. Which is pretty sad when you think about it, because if it wasn’t for Chris, well, there’d quite possibly be no jobs, schools, or […]
I’m bothered by the centerpiece of news reports on yesterday’s shooting on Capitol Hill being police officers working without pay, due to the government shutdown. I’d like to think that the real story would be the victim, and postpartum depression. That said, maybe if she was armed with an assault rifle there’d be more of […]
The U.S. Government is still closed. Already, the public is starting to see its disastrous effects with more to come in the near future if a resolution isn’t reached soon. Yet, some members of the gang (That’s right. I call them a ‘gang’) seem jovial about the whole fiasco. The Talking Points Memo reports: Rep. […]

Fixers — fictional ones at least — are hard at work helping citizens navigate the new health care law at the center of the current government shutdown. In the parody video, Scandalous, singer/actress Jennifer Hudson parodies the hugely popular ABC prime time drama, Scandal, as she runs about town highlighting the benefits of the Affordable Care Act. The video is […]
“President Obama can’t wait to get Americans addicted to the crack cocaine of dependency on more government health care.” -Michele Bachmann And now we will see just how long the privileged illiterates in Congress can hold their breath to stop the Affordable Care Act, which having been passed by Capital Hill, signed by the President […]
