Is there a Trump treason troupe that has now spread to 45 members of the Senate and over twice as many US Congress members?

Senators were sworn in as jurors in former President Trump’s impeachment trial, and then Republicans forced a vote on the constitutionality of the process.

The song's origins are murky, and its lyrics nonsensical. Very fitting for the actions, words, and scam of a northern snake oil salesman.

The word have invigorated dance hall drunks, given zest to presidential campaigns, and inspired military ardor. It's also been abhorred by some, who view it as a lingering tribute to slavery.

I was born in the Pearl of the Antilles around the middle of the century, but I am not able to return to my homeland under the present circumstances. The description was reportedly coined by a European artist whose 1873 book of illustrations bears the title "The Pearl of the Antilles."

What makes Love, Liberty, and Labor extremely important to all of us? These three make all the difference in the world for everyone.

As we look forward, and looking back, comparing to life in 1921, the similarities are amazing. A century ago, earth was pounded by a global pandemic; people around the world were starving, and there was a new #USA president being sworn in.

Former Vice President Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump by millions of ballots and everyone knows it. Any Republican who voted for and defends POTUS is having regrets or looks stupid every day day until he fades away. He took voters from hatred of government to contempt for rational deliberation to disdain for Democracy and our electoral process.

We cannot defeat an enemy without fully learning his identity.  The disappointment, sadness, fear, or hate some people may be currently experiencing are not enemies. Righteous anger may be the best tool we can have at our disposal to overcome those other feelings if we exert anger mindfully. 

Our real enemy, I believe, has been our inability to accept our present-day existential reality —whether all of us can survive as a free nation— and, as a result of that knowledge, to fully trust ourselves in order to effect real, extraordinary change.

As I approach yet another birthday and prepare to sing a sad song of a year of unnecessary hardships and COVID fear, my conclusion is that not everyone admits being attracted to sugar, spice, and everything nice. Some folks prefer wine, and sarcasm, in order to survive so it is suffice.

It's difficult to fathom that 19 years ago nearly 3000 human beings were enjoying their last day of life in NYC. 9/11 Memories.

The horrible September 11 attacks were four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the

#WeThePeople of The United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. I still can not accept our government's

warm and cozy relationship with Saudi Arabia, considering this was the most devastating attack on America. How could this
