It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.

Hi guys! Kinda nervy, but I just posted my first essay on here! It’s an essay about my take on stereotypes placed on the African American community and where they came from. Please check it out if you’re interested, I would greatly appreciate it!
The Truth Beneath the Stereotypes: A Black Woman’s Reflection on Race, Reality, and Resilience
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

There is an old saying we all know, “Where there is smoke, there is fire.” Meaning smoke is the natural and unavoidable outcome or evidence of fire. In kind it is accurate to say, “Where there is the spirit, there is obedience.” or “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” John 14:15 Just a Thought

HUGE FLIP: Democrat John Ewing Jr. just turned Omaha blue—defeating the longest-serving GOP mayor in the country and becoming the city’s first Black mayor in history.
A lyrical Gen-X tale of hope in the dawn of the post Cold War era which seems lost at the moment. My children are the same age but had no Eastern euro experience to give it voice. As a cold/hot war Army veteran, I am less surprised at the recent devolution. In 1989, I was very hopeful. We did not win, they just collapsed. There were naive thoughts among US elite that democracy would be ascendant and global trade would bind us so tightly that war became impossible. In effect, it was our victory.
This was wildly optimistic since is the opposition of national states had been operating for 2 centuries and had often lead to war. Adding a religious dimension, in 2001, to the ethnic and national struggles apparent already in Yugoslavia in 1994 should have been a clue. History was not over, it was merely reset.
