Sit Quietly and the Truth May Find You

It’s been a little more than 5 months since the 2024 Presidential Elections. This is my first post since then. I have been silent because I needed to grapple with the outcomes and to assess the movements of the Trump administration. I needed to understand how things came together to give the Republicans and TrumpContinue reading “Sit Quietly and the Truth May Find You”

You Cannot Believe the Media’s Interpretation of Polling Data. It May Not Be So Close

This is my last post until after the election. There isn’t much new to say, so let me summarize my take on the data I follow. I don’t rely on the mainstream news media or listen to local news channels. These sources simply report on superficial top-line numbers without doing much analysis. I follow sourcesContinue reading “You Cannot Believe the Media’s Interpretation of Polling Data. It May Not Be So Close”

There is A Sinister Plan Behind The Scenes

I have a different perspective on the 2024 election as the voting phase concludes. As I look at the reports of the early voting surges, I hear about the effectiveness of the Harris/Walz ground game in turning out the vote. I am also hearing about a virtually non-existent ground game for the Trump/Vance campaign headedContinue reading “There is A Sinister Plan Behind The Scenes”

It’s Important to Know Who Funds Your Information Sources

As we head toward the final days of campaigning for the 2024 Presidential, Congressional, and Senatorial elections, a lot is going on. Let’s be clear, the US legacy media has severely failed the general voting public. They have allowed Donald Trump and his team to spread lies and disinformation in ways that will be impossibleContinue reading “It’s Important to Know Who Funds Your Information Sources”

The Important Part about Project 25 is the Number 25 or 25th

It is not lost on very serious political observers that Trump is just phoning it in. He knows he cannot win this election by conventional means. The polls had him hopeful that he could have defeated Joe Biden. However, once Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris, Trump immediately understood his mostContinue reading “The Important Part about Project 25 is the Number 25 or 25th”

It’s Time To Wake Up and Show Up

I have been monitoring various blogs, websites, and other sources of information. I have moved away from traditional and cable news outlets. When they started airing Trumps so-called press conferences in their entirety in 2015, I knew there had to be alternative avenues. This election cycle we learned that the CEOs of all the majorContinue reading “It’s Time To Wake Up and Show Up”

The Usual Talking Heads Don’t Have a Clue

It’s a day before VP Harris names her running mate for the 2024 Presidential campaign. If you listen to all the so-called political experts Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has been declared the best choice because they believe he gives her the best chance to win that Electoral College votes for that state. They say sheContinue reading “The Usual Talking Heads Don’t Have a Clue”

We Can Not Be Fully Informed From The Outside

We exist in a time where the corporate owned media has dramatically failed to live up to it’s responsibility of keeping the citizens of this country informed in an unbiased and educated manner. Because of major consolidation of media outlets, our usual sources of news and information has been transformed into a partisan propaganda toolContinue reading “We Can Not Be Fully Informed From The Outside”

Now We Need To Be Strategic Planners Not Impotent Reactors

This is an update to my recent post. First, I want to urge Black voters, especially Gen X and Gen Z voters, to understand that it’s not the Democratic Party that is pushing for President Biden to leave the race. It is important to make this distinction because we can use this moment strategically. IfContinue reading “Now We Need To Be Strategic Planners Not Impotent Reactors”
