Bullying Led To Nex Benedict’s Death, No Matter What Officials Report

Public education in America is one of the most strangest things on the planet. From the time a person is 4 or 5 up until they can be 19 or 20, they are forced to attend an institution against their will. People have committed no crime. They have done nothing to be treated they wayContinue reading “Bullying Led To Nex Benedict’s Death, No Matter What Officials Report”

Nex Benedict’s Death Says More About How We Despise Each Other

My cousin had it bad growing up. Jeff Goldblum built his entire acting career over stammering and stuttering his lines even thoughContinue reading “Nex Benedict’s Death Says More About How We Despise Each Other”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day (But Please Play It Safe Today)

It’s St. Patrick’s Day today. For many people, it’s a day to drink a lot. It’s funny how alcoholic beverage consumption is the only thing to our bodies we secretly endorse and encourage.

Happy International Women’s Day

I want to wish each and everyone of you a Happy International Women’s Day. I know my politics may be left-leaning but I’ve discovered that women of all ages have a very diverse way of thinking.

The Political Rematch We Didn’t Want

Well, Nikki Haley has officially dropped out. That leaves Donald J. Trump as the only Republican candidate for President this election year. And that may be more damaging that he and the rest of the party don’t realize, for one simple reason – not a lot of people like him, especially in his own party.Continue reading “The Political Rematch We Didn’t Want”

Leap-Year Lizards!

It almost makes sense the same week the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the argument that former President Donald J. Trump has immunity from prosecution is the 33rd anniversary of the infamous beating and arrest of Rodney King by four Los Angeles Police officers. The 1991 incident which occurred this day, March 3, wasContinue reading “Leap-Year Lizards!”

We Need To Talk About The Bullying And Death of Nex Benedict

I didn’t know Nex Benedict. As a matter of fact, I don’t know a single person who goes to Owasso High School or associated with them. Owasso is a suburb north of Tulsa. In the past few weeks, an incident has thrust them into the national spotlight. Nex, 16, was a nonbinary student at theContinue reading “We Need To Talk About The Bullying And Death of Nex Benedict”
