MAGA – The Real Solution…
I will say that given this pandemic and what it is doing to our world, making America great again does have some credence now. How we go about that in the “real” world, not the one of self-denial and pretend-facts, is what this post is all about.

Let Newspaper Chains Die?
It’s no secret that local and national newspapers are in trouble. Many could be blown over by a light breeze. Some say good riddance as there are now many other options. But, as usual I take a different stand on this issue.

They Will Always Be Among You…
There is a bible verse that Jesus says “the poor will always be among you”. Some branches of Evangelicals twist that verse to downplay his command to help the poor and to be your brother’s keeper. In this post I will twist it to say that those who are self-centered and empathy deficient will always be among us. This post is what to do about that.
