I Am Jazz is the children’s book co-written by Internet/TV personality Jazz Jennings that follows an autobiographical look at her early life, being assigned a boy at birth but always feeling like she was a girl. Part of the reason I think so many people find it so controversial because it teaches children they don’tContinue reading “‘I Am Jazz’ Is About Being Who You Are, Not What People Want You To Be”

Those Who Live In Fear Will Always Harm Others Around Them
I live about halfway along a very long country road that stretches for four or five miles. I also live at the top of a huge incline past a country store. People are always pulling up into my driveway to stop and turn around. Or it’s just to recheck their directions to see if theyContinue reading “Those Who Live In Fear Will Always Harm Others Around Them”
‘Waco: American Apocalypse’ Presents Most Objective View Of 1993 Standoff
Thirty years have passed since the standoff at Mount Carmel outside Waco, Texas when the Branch Davidian compound erupted in flames following a 51-day standoff with federal agents and law enforcement. Who was to blame? That’s been the biggest question that people have been asking themselves since April 19, 1993. I’ve researched a lot ofContinue reading “‘Waco: American Apocalypse’ Presents Most Objective View Of 1993 Standoff”
“Woke” And “Wokeness” Are The New Buggerbears Of Prejudice And Bigotry
I’ve often thought that very vocal racists and bigots are really the most genuine people. Why? Because they tell you everything you need to know about them. Someone like white supremacist David Duke or far-right politian Pat Buchanan are the type of people who are probably the same in public as they are around friendsContinue reading ““Woke” And “Wokeness” Are The New Buggerbears Of Prejudice And Bigotry”
‘Marlon Bundo’ Parody Book Actually Teaches Love And Acceptance
Easter has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t stop loving everyone just for who they are, not what you want them to be. Originally intended as a parody book and commissioned by Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo presents a story for people ofContinue reading “‘Marlon Bundo’ Parody Book Actually Teaches Love And Acceptance”
‘The Rapture’ Explores Religious Faith
The Rapture is one strange movie. It begins like a soft-core porn you’d use to find on Skinemax. It even has the sets and a young David Duchovny appears during his Red Shoe Diaries days. It then transitions into a faith movie before spiraling down into a psychological thriller and ending as a drama aboutContinue reading “‘The Rapture’ Explores Religious Faith”
The Idolatry Of Donald Trump
Since the indictment of Donald Trump was on the first day of the 2023 Major League Baseball season, it reminds me of a scene from the 1994 movie Little Big Leauge. A 12-year-old is left the owner of the Minnesota Twins following the death of their previous owner, his grandfather. When his manager comes toContinue reading “The Idolatry Of Donald Trump”
Nashville Shooting Shows People Want To Deflect The Real Problem
Even though it’s become a common occurrence for a school shooting to happen, it’s something we should never get used to. As of this posting, the families of the six victims are planning funerals and unsure of how things will happen. I’m thinking of Easter baskets and goodies sitting in a closet for one orContinue reading “Nashville Shooting Shows People Want To Deflect The Real Problem”
‘The Whale’ A Wonderful Study Of Grief, Guilt, Depression And Atonement
The characters who are in The Whale are all suffering from their own guilt, depression and/or grief. Aside from a flashback to a scene at a beach, the entire movie is set in an apartment in an Idaho town near an unnamed college in 2016. This helps make the audience feel they are trapped inContinue reading “‘The Whale’ A Wonderful Study Of Grief, Guilt, Depression And Atonement”
It Shouldn’t Be A Crime To Be Disabled
A 71-year-old woman, Karen McGee, with hearing problems was at the airport in Austin, Texas waiting for her connector flight. Because her hearing aids weren’t working properly, she sat facing the gate where she thought she would see when to board her flight. Little did she know there had been an announcement of a change.Continue reading “It Shouldn’t Be A Crime To Be Disabled”
