Let’s be honest. Just about anyone with any common sense could’ve told you over 10 years ago a lot of the social media posts and chatter was from bots. When South Park did an entire episode over sponsored content, it wasn’t the best, but it was a warning sign. The newspaper company I worked for had started doing this around 2013. The concept they proposed was people paying us to write stories about them. ButContinue reading “If It Doesn’t Sound Too Real To Be Good, It Probably Isn’t”

No Kings Nor Dictators
I had high hopes of attending the local No Kings protest. But Mother Nature had other ideas as a thunderstorm came through at around the same time of the planned protest beginning at 10 a.m. CMT. I also wasn’t feeling well but I was happy to see several people out protesting in my hometown ofContinue reading “No Kings Nor Dictators”
Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! And Happy Flag Day! And No Kings!
Today is the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and that’s the only birthday that really counts today. (Ok, maybe someone out there reading this has a special day and I say, Happy Birthday to you!) But let’s not forget the reason we needed to form a national army in the first place. The AmericanContinue reading “Happy Birthday, U.S. Army! And Happy Flag Day! And No Kings!”
This Is What People Want
The greatest myth of the American ideology is that even though “All men are created equal,” no one is willing to share their toys with other people. We’ve always wanted inequality. Yes, people, well…men, might be created equal in theory, but after we’re born we’re on our own. Currently the National Guard was at aContinue reading “This Is What People Want”
Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press
Ten years ago on the The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, they discussed that the reason Donald Trump is getting so much attention is because people keep talking about him. This was back when he was one of many candidates (Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush among them) and considered the dark horse candidate. Granted, weContinue reading “Don’t Give Trump Anymore Press”
If America Was Ran As A Business, Trump Would’ve Already Been Fired
I was glad to see the “Hands Off” protests happening all over the country yesterday. There were protestors nearby my home in Tahlequah, Okla. as well as in my hometown of Calhoun, Ga. While they didn’t make much of a dent as other bigger cities, it shows you that the country is past fed upContinue reading “If America Was Ran As A Business, Trump Would’ve Already Been Fired”
Living In The FAFO Generation
On a recent trip back east to the town in which I grew up, I talked with a few long-time friends who have always had different political viewpoints. But if there’s one thing we seem in agreement on is the abundance of apathy we have toward people who voted for Donald Trump and seem toContinue reading “Living In The FAFO Generation”
Trump Doesn’t Want To Live Off-Camera, Much Less Talk
In the 1991 concert documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare, Warren Beatty summed up the pop singer/actress/diva in one simple phrase when he said, “She doesn’t know how to live off camera, much less talk.” Ouch! Beatty and Madonna were dating during the time of her Blond Ambition tour. They had starred together in the 1990Continue reading “Trump Doesn’t Want To Live Off-Camera, Much Less Talk”
What Did Trump Supporters Think Would Happen?
I’m hardly on X or Twitter (or Shitter) as I’ve heard it be called now. But comedian and transgender model Stacy Cay posed a good question – What did people in this country think would happen? This past weekend, Donald Trump ordered tariffs placed on Canada, China and Mexico using the illegal spread of fentanylContinue reading “What Did Trump Supporters Think Would Happen?”

Reports are coming in that all people on both aircrafts (64 on the plane and three on the helicopter) are feared dead as of this posting.
